\ r YOUNG MAN, JOIN THE NAVY. ! Splendid Opportunity to Serve Yonr Country and be Benefited, j Editor The County Record: In order that the great advatages t that the United States navy offers I to young men, Americans of good uKarootur and rppnirnizintr the fact that the population of South Carolina is of a high order of intelligence, preponderantly native born, the navy department has decided to authorize a traveling and recruiting party for this State. The department, through the generosity of Congress and its own progressive policy, is able to offer splendid inducements to every young man who measures up to our standards. The country needs the men, but thousands of young South Carolinians need the navy and would be greatly benefitted by joining right now. We desire to make this campaign as thorough as possible in order to feel sure that no man in this State, through ignorance of what the navy offers, fails to take advantage of this splendid opportunity to b^ter himself and serve his country. It is especially to be desired that all of cur people shpulu consider the navy "'our navy.* Now, the best way to! accomplish this is to have the par- j ^ats investigate and see for therr,selves just what the navy has to offer. After becoming convinced that our claim to take their boy and benefit him financially, morally, crtentally. and physically is founded on fact they should encourage him to enlist. The plain facts are that there is no - family in this country who should not feel proud to have a representative in the navy, Patriotism should begin at home and the -kind of person who professes patriotism, but wants * George to do it", is contemptible. *kJa font it 1Q frho iHpfl JkU View U1 1IM3 1B(,VV IV ?uv >uv_ of the navy department to implant the seed of thought; to impress upon the young men of the country that the navy of the present day is a great institution; that it is the place for intelligent, honest, upright, young men and that a four year enlistment will be of incalculable benefit to any man. This seed, once implanted, will cause investigation, which will in turn bring forth desired results. It is requested that J you urge your readers to call at the offices of the traveling party located in the city nearest their home on the dates set forth on current schedule,and to talk to the men who I ? have been through the mill; who can speak from experience of years, and who can vouch for the increased morale and the numerous benefits of our navy; to ask questions and to receive answers, even though they do not at the time desire to enlist in the navy. When the main recruiting party arrives, on 15, it will establish offices in tne Dreviously Mm, secured; will interview all eligible young men who desire information, i||ju ^^OT^srpplicants and applications, ^^^and conduct examinations. The procedure will be as follows: Any man wishing to be examined will apply at the office, make out an application, then he will be given the preliminary physical examina/ tion. If he passes this preliminary * examination, he will be given a tick( et to Charleston and told to report 1 at the navy recruiting station at I that place for the final physical ex[ amination. Upon completion of I this final examination, if the appli[ -cant passes, he will be enlisted and sent to the training station, Norfolk, Va, if he fails to pass, he will be given a ticket good for a return trip to his home. It will thus be seen that everything has been ar^ ranged for the convenience and welfare of the applicant and that the F government stands all expenses. r la view of the fact that universal i military training is being widely advocated, but in many circles bitterly i thp rpsults of our campaign ! V^cvwvv., . _ should prove of interest to the public. If we are successful in obtaining all of the recruits needed, without diffculty.it will demonstrate that the patriotism of our young men is HW dependable, and the opponents of mniyersal training will have meat F ^ for debate. On the other hand, if we are unsuccessful, advocates of I . .military training will point to the I xunwilling attitude of our boys to B serve in time of need as proof that Hl compulsory service is necessary for , any reliable system ?f national defense. Yours very truly, 0 F Cooper, If Lieutenant, U S Navy, Recruiting Officer for South Carolina. I P S. We appeal to your State pride in helping us increase the showing of South Carolina. During the first twenty days of Februtoy 1553 men enlisted in the navy. Of this number 8 were furnished by South Carolina. ^ Riceipt Books, Bliok Notts, Mortgages ail all Legal Blanks in demand, for sale at The Record office.
