This selection from the C. M. T. C. gives him by the govern ment.a four weeks' course in military stunts at Camp Perry. The camp is located on Lake Erie in easy distance from Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and other cities, also Niagara Falls. Week end passes are given the bods to tour these places, which is a valuable edu cational opportunity. These boys are under 22; Rigby is. 17. The captain of the field artillery, A. R. R.

He has been out for the rifle team and has made it, which is quite a distinction as only about eight inen out of the 2,800 here will get to make .the trip to Camp Perry Ohio. The artillery battalion has two men on the team, and, as we are the only organization not armed with the rifle, we are feel ing very 'cocky' over getting two places."

"To the people of South Carolina, I desire to say that the keen interest shown in the issues of the campaign makes the result an endorsement more of the principles that I advgpat ed than of myself. "I shall endeavor as far as within me lies to see that'the affairs of the State are economically maanged. We are living in times of depression and the hand of adversity falls heavily up on many. There must therefore be a fair and just distribution of taxation we must not take a backward step and a fair and just distribution of the burden means the maintenance of ef ficiency. "South Carolina has no foreign element, our white citizenship are all one people with the same traditions, hopes and aspirations and I sincerely trust that there will be no lines of di vision but that together we may work out the destiny of a vigorous and val orous Commonwealth. I realize the great responsibility that I will assume as Governor and most earnestly beg the cooperation of all citizens, their sympathy and their prayers in my efforts to impartially administer the affairs of this State. I am leaving it as I entered it without malice. I have no bitterness and covet the good will and sympathy of every one. It .: my purpose to work out our lroble-ti for the best good of all.
