Mr. J. Dan Manpum and Mr. Au brey Noland, two of our Johnson Rifles boys, have promised to write us the news of the happenings in camp. We glady publish their communications this week, and hope to have something from each of them every week. Additional men are being enlisted for our Union company. Fifteen new men left here Wednesday for Camp Moore. And the recruiting- office is daily open here now for the purpose of enlisting yet more men. It is a stern business, yet a necessary one. It brings this war business right down to our own door. Rut the fact that our young men are offering themselves to their country in this crisis is a hopeful sign. The spirit of battle is not yet dead. It will be a fearful thing for us all should it ever die. A nation without fighters would perish from the earth in the present state of civilization. There is one very encouraging thing to be noted, Vi nurnvnr T Vi n cnirif ilint ic mnnl festinp itself is not the spirit of conquest, territorial expansion nor desire for pold and silver mines. That spirit, leading the nations of the past, has led to success of a certain hind, but it was a success that led to ultimate Tuin. The movement our country is makinp today is one in the interest of defense; it seeks to protect our men. It poes further: Tt seeks the pood of our neighbors. We would not have them pive up their country,but behave themselves and povern themrelves under the rules of civilization. President Wilson's attitude now is and heretofore has been alonp these lines. May our people continue to walk in that way. It is the only safe way and is a step nearer the lonpsoupht epoch when nations and individuals will come into a lastinp peace. LIFE'S STERN LAW. A traveler startinp upon a journey across a desert prepares for the journey if he has wisdom. He must carry water, food, a compass, a lipht tent to ward off the scaldinp sun by day and the sudden chill that comes by nipht. Tt requires a thouphtful preparation to make the journey in safety. If the water pives out he is lost, if nnlnm. IIIC JUUU au^|M%Y in iiiduiih iv ni, vaiani' ity ensues, if blindness seizes him, or the compass he lost, there will be a weary wandering that will lead to <>?th. If sudden sickness seize uoon him, there is no remedy for his ills. To state the matter in another fashion, the successful journey depends upon each one of many things and must needs call into use every one of these necessary things. Life's journey is much like this. It is not that a man fails in all things, hut in one thing. He does not have to lack everything. To lack one thing will spell ruin for him in that it will cause his fall by the wayside. The oss of health, the loss of sight or hearing v ill prove sufficient to cause a falling out of the race. Tt. is a stern law that faces the earthly pilgrim. He cannot afford to stop; that means death. He cannot afford to hesitate, that may mean ruin. The machine must he kept in adjustment, the wheels must turn, the production must come, the sales must he made, the expenses must be met, for to fail it! x 1 1 - . r _ 11 jn any one min**' means me ius.s oi an. The bread winner for the family rannot afford to be sick. He cannot afford to 1oifor along the way. He must fro on and on and on to the last rim of the journey. The business man, b&u.ssed by reverses, unforeseen barriers and rristaken confidence cannot afford to stand still and search for the defect. He must find it, but find it witho't: s looping. Tie must reconstruct cec.air. departments, yet all the while, continue conducting all departments. All of which fees to prove that life is a ser'ou-; matter; preparation of incalculable value and faint-heartedness a '.hi rip, to be shunned as one woud shin the devil.

What a marvelous thing science is, to be sure! CHAUTAUQUA FOR LOCKHART.

Lester Davis, the following telegram was sent to the boys in camp at Camp Moore: "Baraca class of Westside Baptist church send greeting of love, honor and prayers to all the boys who were ever members of our class."
