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

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.
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see, and know, and love her,

With the Saviou- ever more.

COUNTRY RAISED BOYS f
i
i
Greenwood Journal.
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.

landing or' American troops in France
still were lacking tonight and the
personal accounts of newspaper cor-respondents
of the scenes at the
French port again were held up to;
wait on official information. Army
officials maintained complete silence j
as to the expedition or as to plans
for future movements of troops to
' * * - J I

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. Pershing's army. With the,
corps raised to 30,000 men. enough r
for a brigade could be spared andj
officers and men want to get to the
fighting front.

that are to support those already dis-'
patched are moving steadily ahead

today that when the Na-I
tional Guard is drafted ir.to federal'
service and mobilized, it will be sent,

has been much speculation and no
authoritative announcement what-1
array ac flip to be made of the!

National Guard. The existing units j
and those new ones that are ready
for federal Inspection and recognition
comprise the skeleton of 16 infantry
divisions. 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

ned, and used as provisional infantry
regiments. At full war stiength
the existing regiments would represent
a total force of probably 350,000
men. Of that number at least onethird
are fairly veil seasoned troops
who already have had six or eight
months of intensive instruction and
active, continuous servive on the
border.
Will Knsh Them Across.
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

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. Fortunately, much of the
j impeniments necessar3r was ?uppnea j
during the border mobolization and
will serve until more can be pro--:

Doubtless some little children hare
v.ondered why their fathers are more
tender with them now than they were
a few days ago. It is because of the
scene where fresh dirt had forever removed
from human sight the body of
him who had loved to work and toil
for the little child of his heart. And
she. in her childish love and lack of
understanding, had called to him in
death. "Here, Daddy." Xo. he could
not answer, but the angels must have
smiled with joy as they witnessed tke
hurried flight home of the men gathered
there, that they might take upoa
their knees, and fold in their embrace,
other little children of Asheville
who can yet say "Here, Daddy/'
and Daddy can respond with more
tenderness in ms iieai l uian e*ei irwfore.
