A very enthusiastic audience was present last night at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce which was held at the Elk's club. Besides the regular members of the Chamber, <iuite a number of visitors were pres? ent, among whom was a large group of boys. Scout Master Birchard was present with his newlf organized troops of Boy Scouts. Mr. W. Percy Smith, who presided, opened the'meeting by calling upon Col. F. N. Thompson, who made a short and interesting talk. Col. Thompson is a staunch advocate of di? versified farming and strongly advised farmers of the south to adopt this method. This will he impossible, however, withoct the closest coopera? tion between the business man and the farmer. This spirit is more alive in this county, he stated, than he had found it to be in any of the other places which he had visited. He con? gratulated the county upon this and expressed the wish that this spirit of cooperation might continue to grow and bring forth even greater results. The principal address of the even? ing was delivered by Dr. S. H. Ed? munds, whose subject was "The Con? servation of Education." He stated that we should preserve our high ideals of education, for we have no right to lose to our posterity the noblest ideals of our republic. Sev? eral very strong letters, which had been received by Dr. Edmunds, were read, approving such meetings as the one last night for the purpose or con? serving our educational facilities. At the. conclusion of this speech, Mr. A. C. Phelps, president of the Chamber of Commerce, moved that a copy of this speech be presented to the presi? dent and secretary of the State Coun? cil of Defense and thereby promulgat? ed over the entire state. This motion j was carried. Lawrence Kirvin made a short talk on "How a Young Man can liest Pre? pare Himself for the Duties of Citi? zenship." Lewis Pitts also made a talk in behalf of the boys on "What the City owes the Country Boy." Father Murphy t^en made a very inspiring talk to the boys who were present. He spoke on "Cooperation between Father and Son." At the conclusion of the speeches, every one present was served by young ladies with delightful sandwich? es and lemonade.

Points Out Duties and Stresses Op? portunities for Service. Beaufort, June 29.?Gov. Manning, who was to ha^e addressed the South Carolina Press association, now hold? ing its annual meeting in Beaufort, addressed a long letter to the editois yesterday, which was re:id by William Banks, president of the organization. In it the chief executive recounts the great service the State press has rendered in the present crisis and commends it to its future task with utmost confidence. The letter read: "Inasmuch as previous engage? ments and the pressure of official business preclude my attendance at your convention, I ask that you ac? cept this communication as a per? sonal address to each member. "As governor of the'State, I wish to thank the newspaper workers ol South Carolina for their loyal sup? port of the national administration In this crisis. You have given a tremendous impetus to all activities for the furtherance of the good of Ihe nation and of the State. In your position you have the power and the responsibility of moulding public opinion and sentiment, and this should be done with unanimity and with one end in view: That our in? tegrity as a nation and as a Staff can not be impeached and that there can be no charges preferred relating to a dereliction of duty or responsi? bility. "It was my pleasure to address you two years ago on the subject of penal and charitable institutions, and it is with great satisfaction that I am now able to tell you that since that time there has been a gradual development and many notable changes for tho better. There has been an apparent educational uplift, which also owes a large portion ot its success to the support of the newsapers. > These reforms , apply especially to taxation, as that prob? lem will be accentuated because of war conditions. Our best efforts should be made to improve our pres? ent system and put on the books the vast amount of property that now escapes taxation. The assistance of the press is needed to impress this matter on the public mind. We must face these problems frankly and boldly. Our State yet needs a great many reforms and helpful laws, none of which can be intelligently re? ceived without the help of the news? papers to prepare the public mind. "But. above all else you and I are Americans. Our country is at war with a nation that has built the most powerful military machine and au? tocracy the world has ever known. The war is so vast that we can not realize its extent or its terrible con? sequences. It is the province of the newspapers to present the case to our people so that they may understand the seriousness of the situation ami so that they may assist the country through united efforts and service. "The newspapers of South Carolina have rendered a wonderful service l*i forwarding the success of the Liberty loan, the Red Cross fund, the regis? tration of our young men and of the recruiting service. But these mat? ters are only the beginning, the ground work of what you may be called on to do for the good of the nation and of the State. From your unselfishness and zeal in the work already accomplished, I know that you will be steadfast in the future calls upon you and that no call upon your time and your service will fall upon unheeding ears or unwilling hands. "You have a responsibility and a duty that seems almost God given. We have seen what the press of Great Britain did under the inspira? tion of Lord Northcliffe. This war for humanity, freedom and democ? racy was kept going until the United States could come in and share the responsibility of carrying it to a wonderful end. And so, therefore, tho press of America, and especially the press of South Carolina, has u great mission to lill and a great op? portunity for service. You must assume the lead in preparing the way for activities and in so presenting the facts that the people will under? stand. "I know that the newspapers of South Carolina will meet the issue squarely and bravely with justice and with power. "God give you strength and re? sources to meet any emergency, and the si l ength of heart and mind to perform your duty as unflinchingly ami us thoroughly in the future as you have in the past."

Columbia, June 2ft.?A woeful lack of response to President Wilson's op peal to South (Jarolina to furnish during recruiting week her quota of the 70,000 men needed to bring ihn army up to its full war strength is evident from a telegraphic communi? cation received last night from Gray son V. Heidt, recruiting officer for th? Savannah district, Southeastern de? partment. It was pointed out that unless the men of the State between he ages of IS and 4 0 years, without dependents, respond to the call im? mediately, South Carolina will tail the list on the tabulated reports pub? lished throughout the United State*. Acceptances for enlistment in the regular army in the Columbia recruit? ing district June 1-22 inclusive num? bered only 18 men, distributed among the counties as follows: Clarendon 4, Palffield 2; Kershaw 2; Lexington |j Newberry 2; Kichland Ii; Sumter 1. Roads and Other Things. "One half of the world does not know how the other half lives." It is usually the better-kept half that is at all curious to know, not that the other half would be bettered by such knowledge. "Misery loves company," chiefly be? cause it finds others whose state is worse than its own, and takes com? fort from that fact. Crops in and around the peninsula, particularly cotton, are a bit dis? couraging, but just leave here and go into Kershaw especially beyond the river and they are nearly if not quite disheartening, and the people feel it and show it. We have thought to say a word about our supervisor more than once but have deferred till now. We have a good man on the job and we have no reason to be ashamed of the job he is giving us. If one could see the roads in west Kershaw, it would hardly be putting it too strongly to say a disgrace to the county, he would feel the force of the above remarks. We have had a somewhat intimate ac? quaintance with its lower section for more than a score of years and muat confess we see no improvement in its roads whatever. You travel them in a car at the peril of your life, as I felt from actual experience, an ex? perience I don't want to repeat. With no great stretch of imagination one can easily see in the old wire road to Columbia from the river to the Rich land line, the way or weeping. I have gone over its entire length and was disposed to think that some such road j must have been in the mind of the tinker when he wrote the Pilgrim * Progress, for out of the depths of ie pentance one emerges to meet fresh difficulties at every step sometimes with slight encouragements, with no great hope. As he approaches Spear creek things go fast from bad to worse and the luckless wayfarer brimful of dire forebodings, scarce? ly daring to think what the next mo? ment may bring forth, finds himself in what one would term today "The place of prayer and a tempest of fire and brimstone." Why a place of prayer? Because when difheulties and dangers unheard of, unthought of, be? gin to multiply thick upon him he will pray to the saints or anybody he thinks can help him. And he will need it before he gets it bad enough. Why a place of a tempest of fire and brimstone? Because he's going to get stuck bad, in such fashion aa will enable him to remember to his dying day what that phrase means, and when he does he is going to exhaust his vocabulary of cuss words on the devoted head of Kershaw county and its supervisor. At Spear creek poor pilgrim enters the valley of the shad? ow of death and almost despairs of reaching the celestal city, Columbia, but the good angels, in the person of nearby farmers, help him and encour? age him as that by dint of persever? ance at length he reaches higher ground whence in the dim distance he beholds the faint outlines of the celestial city (Columbia) and forth? with forgets all his sorrow, travail and trouble. This road can easily be put in first cla: ? L'hapo bet . use from end to end the clay is there and near the surface and it should be done, if for no other reasons, because it is the most direct road to Columbia an because of the cantonment where forty thousand of our boys will be encamped. There are other ami good reasons but time and (space forbid their notice. "Hagood." Rembert, June 29, 1917. Pa Knew. "Pa." said little Willie Green, "what is a sense of humor?"
