_ Military Training Unnecessary.
More because they feared the disapproval
of the country than from any
desire to do the right thing, the Republicans
in Congress refused to write
into the new army bill a provision for
compulsory military training for the
youth of the country; but they did not
neglect to serve the munitions manufacturers
by providing for a regular
army of more than 300,000 men, which
is three timeB as large military establishment
as the country needs. Outside
of professional army officer circles
and the interested manufacturers,
there was practically no demand for
compulsory military training, and we
are pleased that the Democrats in Congress
went on record almost unanimously
In opposition to this phase of
militarism, which4iad kept the people
disturbed ever since the World war
closed.
Just before his death some months
ago, Senator Thomas S. Martin of
Virginia, in one of his last public utterances,
warned the country against
compulsory military training, saying
that we would not have another war
for 60 years, "that peace is here and
peace will stay for a long time. We

The greatest blessing that could have i
come out of peace with "Germany would
have been world disarmament. It j
would not only have relieved the peo- j
pie of millions of taxes, put workers in i
the fields and shops, saved millions of 1
homes from ruin and put a broad smile
on humanity, but it would have kept
the nations from nagging one another,
and thus embraced the world in a per- 1
manent peace pact.
The worst slavery this nation ex- ,
perienqes is seen in its subjection to i
the military and naval schemes, which
are demanding of the people millions i
of dollars to maintain their vain pre- |
tensions in the shape of great warships ,
and army equipment. The nation suffers
the burdens of a great feudal system,
which imagined its safety depended
upon a few armed leaders, ,
whom the people worked to feed until
called upon to tight for them.
Senator Beamguard Retires. .
Senator J. EL Beamguard let it be
known just before the General Assembly
adjourned three weeks ago that he
would not ask the voters of York
county to return him to the senate.
And thus the people of the county and
of the State at large lose an intelligent,
industrious legislator, who has
given twenty of the best years of his
life to unselfish service for their betterment
Always honest, always frank
and straightforward in his attitude
toward every official matter that came
before him, Senator Beamguard was at
the same time a student of public
affairs and was withal fair-minded and
could be relied upon to take a disinterested
view of every public question.
Not only was Senator Beamguard
well informed upon matters of Statewide
concern, but he gave the wants
and needs of the people of York county
close study and it is doubtful whether
another county in the State has had
in recent years a senator better qualified
to represent or more desirous of
representing uie sentiment Of bil im- 4
mediate constituency. The people of 1
York county especially will miss the 1
services of Senator Beamguard.
Gardens Make for Happy Howes. ,
While the weather in this section has i
been anything but favorable during the ]
last few weeks for farm and garden |
work, there is now the promise of |
clear skies and warm sunhine and with 1
the advent of spring weather it is ex- t
pected that unusual efforts will be
made by those interested in coaxing ,
from the soil food for man and beast j
and the South's great money crop,
cotton, to overcome the handicap of |
lost time due to the recent excessive 1
rains. Not only is this part of the '
9 V: South blessed with the soil and climate t
necessary to produce profitable staple I
crops, but here as in no other section j
of the country is the average house- ,
holder able to add to the happiness of 2

the family and at the aaxne time effect

and flower gardens. Vegetable and
flower gardens build up the bome and
keep the entire family interested.
Wherever one finds gardens of this
character that have taken the place of
weeds and rubbish, there also will be
found a happy family, a successful
father, a contented mother and wellbehaved
Children, in their own gardens
they all have a common interest.
Each has his favorite flower and vegetable
and while each contributes a part
of his or her time, all receive the benefits
of t|ie whole. A child brought up
in surroundings such as these is surely
making better preparations for the
future than those who are spending
their youth in useless or idle play.
"dream OF AH OpiuM EATat |
i uewumcay. {
I thought that It was a Sunday morning
in May, that it was Easter Sunday,
and as yet very early in the morning.
[ was standing, as it seemed to me, at
the door of my own cottage. Right
before me lay the very scene which
sould really be commanded from that
situation, but exalted, as was usual,
and solemnised by the power of dreams.
There were the same mountains, and
the same lovely valley at their feet;
but the mountains were raised to more
than Alpine height, and there was interspace
far larger between them of
meadows and forest dawns; the hedges
were rich with white roses; and no living
creature was to be seen, excepting
that in the green churchyard there were
cattle tranquilly repoeing upon the veriant
graves, and particularly round
about the grave of a child whom I had
tenderly lored, just as I had really beheld
them a little before sunrise in the
>ame summer when that child died. 1
gazed upon the well known scene and
1 said aloud (as 1 thought) to myself,
"it yet wants much of sunrise, and it
is Easter Sunday; and that is the day
on which they celebrate the first fruits
of resurrection. I will walk abroad;
old grtefs shall be forgotten today; for
the air is cool and still, and the hills are
high &nd stretch away to Heaven; and
the forest glades are as quiet as the
churchyard; and with the dew I can
wash the fever from my forehead, and
then I shall be unhappy no longer."
And I tumod u if ?? ?? 1?

gate; and immediately I saw upon tbe
left a scene far different; but which yet
the power of dreams had reconciled into
harmony with the other. The scene
was an Oriental one; and there also it
was Easter Sunday, and very early in ?
the morning. And at a vast distance j
were visible, as a stain upon the horison,
the domes and cupolas of a great
city?an image of faint abstraction,
caught perhaps in childhood from some 1
picture of Jerusalem. And not a bowshot
from me, upon a stone and shaded
by Judean palms, there, sat a woman; (
and 1 looked; >nd it was?Ann. She
fixed her eyes upon me earnestly; and c
I said to her at length: "So then I have c
found you at last." 1 waited; but she
answered me not a word. Her face
was the same as when I saw it last, and "
yet aarain how different f
years ago when -the lamplight fell upon
her face, as for the last time I kissed
he lips (lips, Ann, that to me were not
polluted), her eyes were streaming with
tears; the tears were now wiped away;
ahe seemed more beautiful than she
was at that time, but in all other points
the same, and not older. Her looks
were tranquil; but with unusual solemnity
of expression; and I now gazed upon
her with some awe; but suddenly her
countenance grew dim, and, turning to
the mountains, I perceived vapours rolling
between us; in a moment, all had
vanished; thick darkness came on; and.
In the twinkling of an eye, I was far
sway from mountains, and by lamplight
in Oxford street walking with
Ann?just as we walked 17 years before.
when we were both children.

Irrespective of the ratification of the p
federal suffrage amendment, there are d
17,510.000 women of voting age in 90
States that have already qualified to 1
rote in the presidential election in *
November, according to figures com- ?
piled by the National American Woman t
Suffrage association. Ratification, it 0
is estimated, will extend the privilege t
to about 9,600,000 more.
"South Carolina is the best State in s
the Union for the negro," says The ^
People's Herald (negro) of Columbia. B
"Nowhere in America is the negro c
getting on so well in the economic
world as here. Nowhere has he as
many real friends in the time of need. '
We do not claim angelic perfection for n
the white citisens of the State. They
iiave their faults like the common herd
?f humanity. While, on the other
land, the negro has his faults, he, too,
leeds to go and wash in the pool of
SUoam."
