} " ?=? K EDITORS GET GLAD HAND I> BEAUFORT Members of South Carolina Press Association Enjoying Annual Convention?Good Addresses Made. A News and Courier. Beaufort, June 23.?The members of the South Carolina Press associa| tion are having a great time in Beau f fort, especially the contingent irorn the up-country who have had their eyes opened to the wonderful possibilities of this naturally favored section of South Corolina. Many of the I visitors have never been to Beaufort an .are charmed with the B V UUU wa? --- picturesque Kttle city and the splenB did hospitality of its people. 'While most of the newspaper men V many of them accompanied by their I wives, daughters and sisters, arrivf ed. here last night, it was not until today that the convention got in full swing. At the opening session this morning, called to order by William Banks, editor of the Columbia Kecord and president of the association, a goodly number of members and Beaufort folks were in attendance. Visitors Welcomed. The visitors were welcomed by Mayor Charles E. Danner, who assured them that Beaufort was proud to be hosts to the Palmetto editors, and literally gave them the keys to everything worth while. For the visitors, Mr. H. L. Watson of Greenwood - - r*T. xv p made a happy response. Jacobs, the venerable and beloved chaplain of the association, made a prayer. I A feature of the initial session was I , address on "In the Old Days," by Mr. S. H. Rodgers, a veteran newspaper man of the State, now clerk of f court of Beaufort county, t This ad* 4 dress was of particular (interest and of historic value, going as it did into the past of journalism in South Caro? 1 ?. lina. Mrs. Annie i. Kemoen, iici? agent of the State Board of Health, spake to the editors on "Preparedness and the White Plague," asking for continued cooperation of th.e press in her work. She also thanked the association for the assistance rendered already, especially in reference to "tuberculosis week" last year, saying that the publicity so freely given by thenews papers had assited materially in the effort made to render add to victims of the great white plague in South Carolina. View of Truck Farms. This afternoon the newspaper crowd was taken on an automobile ride over some of the fine truck farms in this vicinity and stories were related of the remarkable results obtained by the truck planters, these stories smacking of the fairy variety, but in each case the proff w?es forthcoming where any doubt existed in the mind3 of the visitors. Tonight at the court house another public session was held. David R. Coker was on the program for an address on "State Defense," but was prevented from attending by the illness of his father, Major J. L. Coker, of Hartsville. Mr. Coker sent a message which was read expressing his w ^-appreciation of the cooperation of the ? editors of the State an the war pre paredness^ movement of which he is the head in South Carolina and regretting that he could not' personally h' express his thanks. W. W. Smoak spoke on "The Southr ern Carolina Association," an organization which, although little more than a year old, has done a great deal for thiis section and whose usefulness is probably just beginning. Mr. Smoak 5s president of this association. Brief talks were made by August Kohn, Ed DeCamp, Wigfall Cheatham, E. H. Aull, Tom Seawell, Joe Sparks and others, while Fred Christensen, of " x ondipnce to his Beauiort uTaicu initimable "nigger sermon," which always brings down the house.

W? 1UVA/V IT I Early on the morning of June the, ninth came an angel to our home andi removed the spirit of our dear Juanita to the great beyond. Little Juanita was a bright, loving little girl. She loved everybody and always welcomed them with loving smiles and kind words. She was loved by all who knew her, and was never satisfied unless doing something or watching after lier little ten months old sister, whom she was just a little mother to. 'We had a little treasure once, She was our joy and pride, We loved her, ah, perhaps, too well, j For soon she slept and died. All is dark within our dwelling, Lonely are our hearts today, For the one we loved so dearly Has forever passed away. % A nrecious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can foe filled. God in His wisdom has recalled, The boon His love had given, And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven. Those little lips so sweet to kiss Are closed forever now, Those sparkling eyes that shone so bright "Beneath that pearly brow," . That little heart that beat so high, Free from all care and gloom, Are hidden now from those she loved, j Beneath the silent tomb. Dear little hands, I miss them so! All through the day wherever I go; All through the night how lonely it seems For no little hands wake me out of mv dreams. j I. miss them all through the wearyhours, 1 I miss them as others do sunshine and flowers, Daytime or night time, wherever I go, Dear little hands. I miss them so. Wa miss thee from our home, little darling, We miss thee from thy place, A shadow o'er our life is cast, We miss the sunshine of thy y*ce, We miss the kind and willing Hand, Thy fond and earnest care, Our home is dark without thee? We miss thee everywhere. I Earth has lost its look of gladness. Heaven seems to us more bright, ' Since the spirit of our dear one Took her happy homeward flight, ! And we long to cross that river.

We note that one or more of our \ exchanges are having some mighty! nice things to say .'-bout a country' raised boy who is now in Congress.! These stories all center around the; Honorable A. F. Lever. We would not detract one thing from Mr. Lever. i-i vve could. W? prefer handing mm j- bouquet; for we are sure that he deserves all tliat is being said about him and more, but there are other j country raised boys who are making; good in the world and we want this1 fact not forgotten. We are not out! to name any u. e oi' mem, but we do j feel like indulging in some reflections: upon this subject. The country raised boy. Yes, raised boy?not reared boy. We do not think that there is any thing, that con tributes more to the making of a man! than a good solid foundation. This1 the country boy usually gets. He rises with the sun and often long before. He gets out and breathes thej fresh air and if he has the right kind! of parents he is given something to do. He soon decides that it is a fine thing to work, and he is not ashamed of it. Nothing is more gratifying to 1 him than to learn that he has readied the plow boy stage which is any-j wnere irom ten xo tweivu yv<xl s. feels mighty big when the day arrives for him to gear up his horse or mule and ride to tlie field where lie i drives his plow from sun to sun. In! the very busy season working on as! long as he can see. He knows noth-J ing about eight hour dLy laws nor. does he care anything about them j He does not ^ave to contend with, any law that prevents a boy from; working under a ceitain age. There; are no inspectors prowling around to; prosecute his father for allowing him1 the privilege cf developing his physi-| cal manhood and contributing to the; welfare of his country. He eats wholesome food, well cooked and a Plenty of it. He Is never troubled by f wckefulnes at night nor is he inclined j to keep l.ate tiours. By the tim.e he hits the bed he is asleep and he sleeps all night never waking until time for his feet to hit the floor. He never heard o fthe thing they call indigestion or dyspepsia. He is not concerned about the fads of physical j culture artists. Indeed, he could give them wholesome lessons. / j But the poor country boy has noi chance to get an education! He is .eared in ingnorance?yes, reared is the word used by the city loafer. Not j one word of it. He goes to school I in the fall and he le*arns more in six | months than his city cousin does in twenty-four. He never heard anythin gabout grades. He simply rides over them and knows more about ' *-- 11 ? ilAfifinw Knw in DCC-KS UlclU a lii&j, n-fiviixig, luj town who imagines that field v/ork is disgraceful will ever know. Ill he has the real stuff in him, he will get an education. It may not be in high school or college, but he will get an education that is worth having. Some day he will be a leading business man, or statesman or professional man whom t'?e people delight to honor. This is another mighty good thin? atout the country boy. He is not too tired to attend Sunday school when the day of rest comes. He may be counted on to be at church whenever there is preaching and he is not the boy to complain about the length of the sermon. His moral and reli g:cus surroundings are very favorable and they leave upon Lis miiid and heart impressions that go with him through life. He is not apt to be a moral degenerate. Sure the country is the place to raise boys. It may not be a good place to rear them, but after all we Hoiiovo that likfL' a srood many other things country raised boys are preferable to boys who are raised in city or town.

Marine corps officers were eager to ; 'earn whether the regiment of sea' soldiers under Col. Doyen, which formed part of the initial force, was, first to land. The marines generally are procd of their record of being first in the field and are hopeful that' it has been sustained in the first ais-j patch of American forces to fight in; the old world. | It appeared possible today that a! full marine brigade eventually would! be sent to France to work as a unitj of Gen.

Under present distribution by States, however, there would not be more than four or five! divisions complete enough to deserve that name. I Tt. seems likelv that redistribution I and consolidation of the force mustj be undertaken soon after it passes! into the federal service under the draft clause of the national defense act. Probably 12 or more complete infantry divisions could then be or-j ganized. Certainly that number; i could be completed with the cavalry 1 ? --J JismonnM oa ia nnw ry!an- ! empivjeu Uismuuuivu, .. ned, and used as provisional infantry regiments.

In the judgment of army officials, this will furnish a splendid neucleusi - ? 1.1. -1 to train the new men ana insure uiej rapid passage of the entire force through the elemental y stages of its military education. The fact that the guard camps are to be of canvas seems to indicate that it is not expected to keep them in training on this side of the water for a very extended period. Additional training for numerous ' 1' c.r\r\n otTii 11 hp in guard arnuery uuao OUUii ff'AA* progress also at the various officers' training camps. At least a battalion of field artillery has been ordered to each camp in order that the artillery officer candidates for the National army, may have the means of learn-J _ I ing the things they must later teach to the new forces. In the process valuable training will ba given to the guard battalions. The greatest problem that face3 tl"* war department is to fird supplies for the steadily increasing host of National Guardsmen whiot moves to the mobolization camps some time in July or August. State officials have been notified that it is impossible to fill requisitions for new equipment that have been pouring .in. The first to be made ready must be the regular army, expended to 306,000. The officers' training camps, where 50.000 men are under arms, aliso have absorbed an enormous, quantity of [ reserve equipment. Border Training Helpfnll. A careful inspection of all equipment in the hands of the National Guard is being made to ascertain the necessities of the force when it is federalized.
