Washington, Jun. 14?Despite rep..;is
iccenlly sent out from Washi..j,ion,
to papers in the South that
the men of the Thirtieth Division
Mould not disembark at Charleston,
tl.e matter was definitely settled here
to-day when Secretary Baker informed
Senator Pollock that Charleston
h-d been designated for this purpose.
This puts all doubt aside.
No dale has yet been set for the ,
return of the men, but thil will also
Lu made known to Senator Pollock
in a fow days.
1
The Tennessee troops will go to
Fort Oglethorpe for demobilization, ,
those from South Carolina to Sevier i
and those from North Carolina most 1
likely to Camp Greene at Charlotte. J
This information should be good
news to those persons in South Caro- a
lina who have relatives and friends |
in the Thirtieth Division and there ]
will doubtless be many happy rela- |
tives of the men in the State when the |
information given Senator Pollock to- |
day becomes known. <
It is understood here that just as ,
toon as the sailing date of the ship (
uj-on which the South Carolina men
lo;ve is learned, preparations will be
made for their formal welcome home, (
either in Charleston or Columbia, .
end that.they will also be given some
form of recognition when they reach
Greenville.
Senator Pollock announced to-day
that he will address the Senate dur- (
ing the present week regarding a (
league of nations and a little later on j
ho will give his views on woman j
suffrage.

"Th0 Turks eontinuc to persecute

East," said E. V. C!ar'?e, publicity
director of the Southern Division of
v.he Arrnenian-Gyriun Relief Committee.
"Letters have been received by
prominent Arrneniun citizens of Atlanta,
Ga., stating that fifty per cent,
of the population of some of the
cities of Armenia and Syria have actually
died in the lest year of starvation
and will continue to die unless
immediate help is received, and in
uany of the almost inaccessible
places the Turks are still trying to exterminate
these Christian people.
"Many cities in the East have ttonc
over the top 'n raising their%quota
in their relief campaign, and we feel
confident that by the end of the week
every State of the Southeast wi!l
have done likewise.
"Few, if any, war charities have
appealed to the people of America

East, because of the ncuteness of

PETITIONS LEGISLATURE
Columbia, .Inn. 15.-?At the lust
; annual meeting of the Department of
I superintendence of the Stute Touchem*
Association a resolution to pcj
tition the legislature to call a conj
Htitutional convention for the purpose
of enncting a fundamental law
! which shall provide a public school
system in conformity with modern
educational practice was adopted, and
; a committee was appointed to present
the resolution to the legislature.
This committee recommends:
"That the recess:-ry steps be taken
to convpkc a constitutional convention.
"That a comprehensive and adequate
State-wide law be emfcted for
compulsory attendance upon the
sc hools of the State.
"That progressive measures be
taken to remove the blight of udult
illiteracy from our State.
"That federal eo-op'Tution in every
way be welcomed; but without
sacrificing the local control of our tra
unions ami fundamental purposes.
"County superintendent of education
be placed on a better professional
and financial basis.
"Liberal State appropriations 1
should b(. continued and enlarged.
"An adequate health program, including
physical training, medical in- 1
spection, dental inspection and the
employment of school nurses where
practicable. i
"Increased attention to industrial
and vocational education in all of its I
phases.
"Certification of teachers. Centralized
high schools.
"That the legislature require a <
minimum school term of seven <
months, and provide means for hav- I
ing it." I
The committee is composed of I
Frank Kvans, chairman; John K.
Swearingen, Keed Smith, Patterson ?
Wardlaw, S. II. Kdmunds. i
The committee wishes to empha- i
size that what is really needed is a
wholesale and fundamental recon
slinc ion in education, and that tin
resolution points out certain specific
needs which are timely and impor
tant, but does not go to the root of
the difficulty. That the committee
holds can be done. sucessfull0*oniy
in a constitutional convention.
SMILE, YOU, SMILE
Most of the joy of life is in the contact
with pleasing personalities.
A grouch is worse than a rainy day
in December.
All <?f which brings us to the man
on the job, who is trying to get ahead
Thert. isn't a business anywhere,
worth working for, that won't pay a
premium for a smiling face and a
governable temper.
Itusiness lo-tlay is totally a matter
of co.operation.
'I here isn't room for the sour individual
who can't work unless h,. has
a private cave, cut ofT from human
contact.
'I his type is passing out ?with the
horse and bu<ttry, the Saturday ni^hl
bath, and the farmhand breakfast.
Just doiiiK our little job well, isn't
enough.
We must do it cheerfully, and with
a smile.
If we don't we will interfere with
others, make it harder for them to do
tlu-ir work, all of which is unprofitable.
The reason for this is clear:
All of us have worked over and
under men and women with dispo|
silions that pricked us like thorns.
When they pasted our way, the sun
went under a cloud Our production
dripped. If they were subordinates,
we fired them as misfits at the first
opportunity; if we were the subordinates,
we quit at the first chance to
tret anotehr job of equal pay.
J. II. Foster, president of the 11 y- I
! draulic Pressed Steel Company, ?!??ing
a business of .'{(I millions a year,
says ha has foutul that whan a man
stops smiling, his production falls.
The rule is so invariable, he states,
that he has installed a system whereby
these eases are investigated and
a remedy sought. "Type Metal."
GIRLS. WHITEN SKIN
WITH LEMON JUICE
Make a Beauty Lotion for a Few
Cents to Remove Tan, Freckles
and Sallowness.
Your grocer has the lemons and
' any drug store or toilet counter will '
supply you with three ounces of orchard
white for a few cents. Squeeze
the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle, then put in the orchurd and
shake well. This makes a quarter
pint of the very best lemon skin
whitener and complexion beautifier
known. Massage this fragrant,
creamy lotion daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands and just see
how freckles, tan, sallowness, redness
and roughness disappear and
soft and clear the skin becomes. Yes I
It is harmless, and the beautiful result*
will surprise you. Adv. 4. ,

COUNTY
| i
Last Sunday morning at St. l'uuVi
Methodist church a union service was
hcid, at which Dr. Alexander lolinson,
of the Southern Red Cross headquarters
at Atlanta, delivered an excellent
address on Home Service
work. Those who had the pleasure of
listening to Dr. Johnson were fortunate.
11,. pictured the Home Service
work of the Red Cross an.! snowed
by many apt stories how real results
and much beneficial work had been
done by the department for soldiers
and their families. Nearly two million
soldiers are overseas and many
of these will remain in France far
months yet, some of them probably |
for a year to come. These men are j
anxious about the loved ones at home j
and their families are anxious about i
Hie soldiers. The Red Cross Home
Si rvico is the only means of com- ^
inunication between these men and |
their families when mail scrvic,. is k
interrupted. It is the Red Cross g
Home Service that looks after the ^
welfare of the families of soldiers in
iistress and furnishes aid when
needed. I
