Mr.. l. r. Melton spent Sunday
at Camp Moore, Styx, to see the
boys before their lnave-taking
for Texas.
The series of n aetings at
Friendship have com. to e close.
This has been one O the best
that Friendship has had in sew
eral years. The mem bership
was greatly revived and there
were 16 additions to the church.
Mr.. John Blackwell, Of Page
land, was here and assisted the
meeting greatly by his singing.
There is good deal of inter-
est manifested in q new school
building here and it is greatly
to be hoped that this interest
will bear fruit. There is to be a
meeting this week of the trus.
tees and patrons and the ques-
tion of when and where, etc.,
will be settled.
Little Miss May Smith, of Ru-
by, is spending few days here
with her aunt, Miss Olivia Ca
son.
The Rev. Paul Il. Wood did
some very fine preaching at
Friendship and there was a
crowd to hear him each time.
Mr.. D. Vaughn and son, Rob.
ert, spent Sunday at Camp
Moore, Styx, with the boys.
Little Miss Ellen Melton, of
Friendship. has been quite sick
for the past week, but glad to
say she is some better at this
writing.
Mr.. Willie Curtis visited at
Camp Moore, Styx, Sunday.
Well, the campaign is open.
We hope the boys will have a
good time from the start to the
finish.

but that really matters little.
We know the crash is coming
and you feel as we'll as we do
that we have reached and pass
ed the turning point. The fine
resistance of our troops at Ver-
dun has shattered the hopes of
the Germans and has turned the
scale. but still do not imagine
that there is complete weaken
ing of the German effort on the
Western front. We know there
still are opposed to all our armi-
es on the Western front two
thirds of all the best fighting
forces that Germany can put in
the field.

Not Our Roy

Readers will call to mind the
newspaper stories that were
published recently regarding an
escapade of some of the soldier
boys at Camp Moore. Some of
them, going on a lark purloined
some watermelons and one boy
got sprlnkled with birdshot.
Now it so happened that this
boys given name is Roy and there
is also a boy soldier from this
section by the name of Roy"
Melton at Camp Moore. There
fore it seems that someone with
a first-class imagination over
looked the fact that the wound
ed Roy" was also named Kelly
and that he belonged to Com
pany F." while Roy Melton is
in Company 81"
While this escapade, under or
dinary circumstances would be
treated lightly, Mr.. 1. R. Melton
father of Roy, feels that on ef-
fort is being made to damage
his boys reputation by this mis-.
representation.
Mr.. Melton exhibited in this
Office perfectly convincing let
ter from Camp Moore showing
that 1T was boy named Roy
in Company "F", and not Row
Melton in Company Il" who got
shot"
This letter went OH to say that
there are many false stories and
exaggerations going the rounds
about these boys, many of them
without foundation.
We trust that this explanation
will be sufficient to quiet any
one trying to injure the reputa.
ton of this boy, if such a thing
is being done.

Chesterfield Plans
A Big Day Aug. 18th

Chesterfield is planning a big
day for the State Day here of the
Campaign, August 17th.
Besides the flow Of eloquence
to be provided by the numerous
seekers of preferment, two first.
class games of ball have been
provided for. The best team
that Wadesboro, N. c., can get
together will be pitted in two
games against the very best
that Chesterfield can organize
for the occasion.
The old ball field has been
scraped and leveled ard put in
fine shape; the benches are be-
ing repaired and a shelter is to
be placed over the grandstand.
A special organization has been
effected among the business men
of the town for the purpose of
financing and managing this en-
tertainment. A live wire will
be in charge as captain and two
very fine games are assured.
Among the speakers expected
to be here on that day are Gov.
Manning, Cole L. Blease, K. A.
Cooper, j. NJ. DesChamps, John
II. Duncan, candidate for Cover
nor; John E. Swearingen, State
superintendent of Education; w.
Banks Dove and Geo. w. Wight
man, secretary Of state; S. T.
Carter and D. W. McLaurln,
State treasurer; Albert S. FAINT,
G. McDuffie Hamton, w. 81.
Kelly, w. T. Thrower and James
Cansler, for railroad commission;
K. q. l.. Adams and Andrew j.
Bethea, lieutenant governor.

Some thirty-five speakers

minutes to ten.

estimates being close to one

places seemed to center largly in
the race for superintendent of
Education, where hot fight is
on. Perhaps next N interest

A healthy interest is taken in

The boys and girls of to- da y are
the men aud women of tom orrow.
The future is in their hands.
On the present generation rests
the solemn obligation aud duty
to do every thing possible for
the good Of the coming gener-
alton. IT we fail in equipping
them properly for the battle of
life, then we are not only failing
in our duty, but we are unfaith-
full to our trust.
The Chesterfield High School
ls one Of the greatest possessions
of the town and the community,
and every Chesterfield heart
should beat with pride at it's
possession. Each and every one
of us should lay aside petty
jealousies, and i'll feelings, when
it. comes to school matters. Ev-
cry man in the district should
take deep interest in the
school, should realize that it is
partly his school, and advocate,
work for, and vote for any bond
issue which will benefit the
school in any way. The money
we pay out in taxes for educa-
tional purp oses cones back to
US ten-fold.
The complete course at Ches-
terfield High School lie equival-
ent to the College education of
thirty or forty years ago. Sore
of Us of the present generation
did not have educational advan-
tage, but we should resolve
that no matter what happens
our children shall receive every
advantages possible. We should
not be satisfied that our school is
merely the best in the County,
but every man in the School Dis.
trlct should resolve that he will
not rest until the Chesterfield
High School is one of the very
best schools in the State; until
Chesterfield is known far and
near as a town and community
where educational advantages
are of first Importance. That in
Chesterfield, regardless of per-
sonal or political differences,
when it comes to school matters,
every mans shoulder is at the
wheel, and everyone is ready at
any and all times to do his full
duty towards the school.

be proud Of the fact that her
High School is the only school in
the County that gives the State
High School diploma, which will

In one of the larger towns of the

bilious girl of fifteen or sixteen,

home school of ten grades the
past year, and that she was COM
ing to Chesterfield to school this
year in order to get a diploma
from Chesterfield High School.
If the facts were generally
known and talked around the
county, there might be quite a
mum Der of boys and girls, from
all parts of the county, who
would come to Chesterfield ev-
cry year to attend school. BY
doing this, the great expense of
a Preparatory School is saved.
To all intents aud purposes the
geographical center of the coun-
ty, the center of legal und offici-
al business, commercial center,
why shouldn't Chesterfield be
the educational Ger ter of the
county as we'll? The people of
Chesterfield should awake to a
realization of the value of her
possession-the best school in
the county-and take more iu-
terest and pride in the school.
1t has been the boast of Eng.
land for centuries that Brit

land, up to the Boer war, the
politicians and aristocrats could
play politics with the army. A
man might be com missioned in
the English army because Of the
social standing of his family, re-
gardless of his lack of ability.
But even though politics. in a
sense controlled the army, this
was not true of the English Ma

that in time of danger, the Ma.
w would be the salvation of the
British nation. and politics were
taboo in the navy.

Allies Certain
To Win Victory

Gen. Joseph Joffre, generals
simo of the French army and the
guiding spirit of the united army
Of the entente allies, recently
received the Associated Press
correspondent and expressed be-
lief that the turning point of the
great conflict had been success
fully reached and passed and
that with the united action of
the entente allies on the many
fronts, they were pressing for
ward to the certain collapse of
the German efforts and to an as
sured victory of the allies
armies.
Joffre is not only head of the
French army but also is in su-
preme authority over the French,
British and Belgian forces on
the Western front and the
French, British and Servian
armies of half a million men
around Saloniki as we'll also as
being the supreme commander
in the united action by which
the allies are conducting simult
aneous campaigns in the Russian
Italian, F4ench and Balkan thea
tres as part of one systematic
whole. 1t is this recent coordi-
nation of the commands on the
many fronts that has permitted
Gen. Joffre to give full scope
to his military talent which
probably has been exercised over
more men of the allied nations
than ever before has fallen to
one military commander.
II want to express my salts.
faction in meeting you gentle
men, and through you to exp
ress our feelings toward the
American people," said Gen.
Joffre, speaking in an easy con-
versational tone. "A feeling of
deep friendship has always exis-
ted between France and Amerl-
ca and it is particularly oppor-
tune now, after Flance has been
fighting for two years for the
ideals dear to both countries,
that this old friendship should
be renewed and strengthened"
Turning his attention to the
actual condition Of the campaign
Gen. Joffre continued:
"Although the fighting is get.
ting more and more bitter, every
one recognizes III the complete
unity of the allies that destiny
has shaped it's course and every
one can clearly see what the fin
al outcome is going to be. The
unity on all fronts is great
characteristic of the campaign
now going on and the effort is
apparent in the constant pres
sure on all sides by the allies
who now have had time to form
their plans, thanks to the sacri.
fees which the French nation
has made at Verdun. We must
also pay full homage to the
splendid part our allies are TAX
ing. The Russian effort has sue
ceeded in organizing and putting
forward larger and larger forces
of men, drawn from their appar-
emily ineXhaustlble sOruces and
at the same time fully armlng
the masses. The splendid re-
suits of their efforls are shown
in what they have accomplished
in Gallicia and along the entire
Eastern front. Once more the
chance has fallen to England t.

sources. both in men and ma
terial, and the extent of her ef-
forts is shown in what has been
accomplished on the Somme

know how admirably they have
fulfilled their part. AS for the
