Laurena Advertiser talks about
"underhand campaign" in New
county In 1114 against Mr.
We have a setter opportunity
to hnow what goes on In New berry
eounty than the Advertiser has, and
to not know of any such campaign
here against Mr. Cooper or anybody
else. New berry comes as near playing
politics above board as any county In
the State.
The capture of Villa by a punitive
expedition, composed of a *ew regi?
ments of cavalry and batteries of
Mght artillery, will lot prove a holi?
day excursion. The American force
that goes. Into Mexico is facing an
erdououe campaign and much hard
fighting. It is possible that Villa
may unite with other Mexican lead*
ere to form an army many times as
strong as the punitive expedition,
thereby putting the American force
on the defensive. To guard against
?ueh a contingency the war depart?
ment should provide a supporting
force on the border, ready to move
Into Mexloo at a moment's notice, suf?
ficiently large to mee. any emergency.
The pursuit and capture of Villa may
he carried out on schedule without
complications, but with Mexico in
condition of anarchy anything Is lia?
ble to happen. It eould be a ca?
lamity for an American force to be
cut off and defeated by the Mexicans
and would Inevitably lead to a real
war with Mexico. Therefore it would
he Um? part of wisdom to have a force
on the border capable of meeting any
situation that may arise.
NAMED FOR HONORARY OFITOE.

ft. H. sMp^awMhl Appointed Vice-Pres?
ident of National Corps League?
OvmusJaation Has for Its Purpoae
thw Peoohiiig of Military Training
in fitigfc Schools of Country?In
doroBd by Garrison.
Prof. 8. H. Edmunds, superintend?
ent of the Sumter graded schools,
has bsen named vice president of the
National Cadet Corps League. The
organisation had the official endorse?
ment of Lind ley M. Garrison, former
secretary of war, and In all probabil?
ity hen within the last few daye se?
cured an endorsement from the new
secretary of war, Mr. Baker.
The headquarters of the National
Cadet Corps League at Chicago Is?
sued a statement a few weeks ago set
tins; forth the object of the organisa?
tion as follows: "To secure adequate
military training* In high schools, col?
leges and universities of the State and
nation." Major Henry Sherman Vail,
j the president of the National Cadet
Corps 1-oague wrote Mn Edmunds: "I
I am instructed by our committee to
ask a great favor from you, vis. the
acceptance of a vice-presidency of the
National Cadet Corps League. This
movement has received the approval,
of 17 per oent. of the parent* respond^
ins; to a request for opinion on this
subject" ****
sfcjpt Edmunde is an advocate of
military training in the public schools
as a method of mental and physical
training for the pupils, but ho ie op?
posed to the Inculcation pf the Idea
of militarism. He has expressed the
opinion that boys oan be given ade?
quate military training .without . in?
structing thsm in this respect either
for or against war. Mr. Edmunds ap?
peared in Chicago about a year ago
before an association of teachers snd
spoke <>n the system aa- in vogue in
the Sumter Graded schools. The
Busies* schools military training has
receNr been given wide publicity:
<U? imtkraal Cadet Corps, . League
Is sotting a bill in Congress *t.? make
out of the high school students of the ,
country a trained body of 1,100,000
young men by lttS or thereafter?
available for war If euch need come."
The proposition has been taken up 1
la It ftatea The idea Is to have
mlUtary . training aa in the ttumter
schools and to continue the work
throughout the four years of the col?
lege rotii face in. every State c f the
Country. To this end federal ard is [
asked In the bill before congress and
the measure has the endorsement of
the war department, according to the
league's announcement
The work In military training as
given in the schools has been the sub?
ject of inagasine articles and a num?
ber of newspapers have discussed the
system in these schools. In consider?
ing the putting tat of military instruc?
tion in the Chicago schools the Sum?
ter plan was Investigated.
