The South Caro lina History Class has just returned from a visit fo'the actual scenes up on which the history they are studying was enacted. Last Tuesday morning three oar loads set out for Charleston, the birth place of Carolina. The first official stopping point was Stateburg, which was at one time considered as the lo- 1 ’ .* cation of the state capitol but lost it to the I present day Columbia. Some miles'on the highway* this * side of Sumter, its principal landmarks are a beautiful plantation home and the old Stateburg church.

On the stone was a small bronze tablet to Charles and Etienne de Fontenay, dedicated by th^^Fifench Embassy when they died fighting in 1916. Up on it Dr. Jones noted with glee a mis take—although great-grand-sons of Sumter, they were called ‘grandsons.’ There was also the tomb of Natha lie DeLage, French daughter-in-ja^ of the General, which had be^ the tiny private Catholic chapel which she had worshipped.

The first allocated $125,000,000 to the administrator of the federal emergency relief administration, in or der that belief may not stop. It should be noted, that the long delay in the senate has made neces.sary the trans fer of many millions of dollars previ ously allocated to highly useful per manent projects to immediate emer gency relife work. This money came from the recovery act appropriation of 1933. |Many of the projects which have been cancelled b^use ■of this cannot now be continued under the terms of the new law. “The second allocation under the new law for thirty million dollars is a continuation of the emergency con servation work. .In other words, the maintenance of the efvilian conserva tion corps camps, also $842,000- for continuation of conservation and other work on tribal or other Indian reser vation lands. Further announi^ments in regard to additional allocations will be'made from time to time.” . Ending his Southern fishing trip at Jacksonville today at noon, Mr. Roose velt asked for the special train to con tinue on to New -York when he was informed of the death of Mr. Robbins. After the funeral he will return im mediately to the White House and without doubt the work_bill will be approved and the gigantic" ‘ employ ment task undertaken immediately. The president arranged some time ago for the administrative machinery to carry on the work plan. He awaited today to read the bill as finally pass ed by congress and to read also the recommendations of government aides on the legislation. They sent reports to him by previous instruction. The gray'colored United States de stroyer Farragut carrying the presi dent darted into dock exactly on schedule and within a few minutes the tanned-faced president was out ac knowledging a farewell salute to the officers. Governor Sholtz, of Florida, greeted at tKe landing and in response Mr. Roosevelt said: “It is good to see you. I am always glad to get back to Florida. We are making this an annuaf occasion. We had wonderful fishing. All of^u peo ple on shore look like pale faces.” — The crowd on jthe dock joined in the laughter and applauded. People lined the three-mile route to the station. The president rode leisurely along and waved a response to ’ greetings. He seemed 'happy to be ashore again. James Roosevelt, eldest son, ac companied the president an rode northward with him. Judge J. Freder ick Kemochan, of New York city, and George St. George, of Tuxedo, New I York, a couple of shipmates on the I fishing trip, also came north on the \ I ppeaalTr^^^ j The work relief bill, the first of the major pieces of the administration program to be passed by congress, was handed to the president* upon his arrival, at the train by Marvin H.
