That’s True Monaca, Pa.—"M7 little bo7, who is the youngest of three, was weak, neruou«-aa4r-4ir«d all the time, so he was most unfit at school, and noth ing seemed to help him.

Cooper at the Chester theater intro duced Vice President Marshall, who made one of the ablest and most elo quent addresses ever heard in this city. He was warmly greeted and throughout his speech received great applause. “Nobody in South Carolina,” he said, “ever believed more sincerely in the doctrine of state's rights than I believe in it. I have recognized what other state’s right men have not, that with states’ rights . goes the states’ duties. So long as the states of this union will not look after them selves and demand the fostering care of the general government, the doc trine of states' rights will be dormant. “I am hoping for a revival in the hearts of citizens so that each state will discharge its duties and tell the general government to only look after the powers delegated to it. hut until states do thin there is no hope for this ancient democratic doctrine. “T wish I could put our country hack to the -good old days of 1S40. I_ would be willing to do with lesk money for, more manhood. I had nothing to do with adopting the colo nial policy of our government, but with our soldiers in the Philippines and our sailors in the North sea talk about going hack to our ancient neu trality, it is talk in favor of an idle dream. Neutrality consists In more than mere hands off. It must also he minds off and opinions off. foj the most potent things In modern war fare are the moral opinions of man kind touching.it.” FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING Soldiers at Camp Jackson Will Have Option of Being Instructed in Twenty-six Different Trades..
