Swiss MILITARY
SYSTEM LAUDED
Judge Ballou Addresses Mem
bers of Women's S Training
Camp at Chevy Chase.
DREXEL BIDDLE SPEAKS
Attendance at Lectures Made Com
pulsory-Service Planned for
Sunday Afternoon.

The United States will not become
adequately prepared until It adopts a
military system similar to the Swiss,
according to Judge Sidney Ballou, who
was one of the speakers at the Woman 8
Preparedness Camp at Chevy Chase yes
terday afternoon.
Judge Ballou does not believe that II
is necessary to want to fight to be drawn
into a war. On the contrary, he thinks
most nations are forced into 1t against
their will, and that II was only because
the Swiss had a military system whicA
enabled them three days after the pres
ent war was declared to mobilize a force
of 900 men, and back It up with an
additional force of a quarter of a million
men, that they escaped being drawn into
the present war in Europe.
Drexel Biddle, of Philadelphia, and
Miss Fox were also on the program. and
the Marine Band played outside Of the
big tent between the speeches.
Attendance at the lectures was made
compulsory yesterday, and for the first
time the camp marched to them in com
pany formation.

Just take your shoes off and then put
those weary, shoe-crinkled, aching, burn
ing, corn-pestered. bunion-tortured feet
OF yours in a "Tiz" bath. Your toes
will wriggle with joy; they'll look up at
you and almost talk and then they'll
take another dive in that "Tiz" bath.
When your feet feel like Jumps of
lead-all tired out-just try "Tiz" It's
grand-it's glorious. Your feet will dance
with Joy; also you will find all pain
gone from corns, callouses and bunions.
There's nothing like "Tiz." It's the
only remedy that draws out all the
poisonous exudations which puff up
your feet and cause foot torture.

Olanta, June 28:-At. recent
meeting of citizens it was decided to
have big rally and picnic here at
the old soldiers park July 4 in the
interest Of Olanta and community.
Some of the speakers secured by the
committee who have the rally in
charge are: Messrs P B Ingraham OF
Johnsonville, Thomas Brantley of Or,
angeburg and Hon John L McLaurin
of Bennettsville. All the people OF
the town and surrounding commun-
ity are expected to come and bring
baskets. That there will be plenty
of barbecue is understood by those
who have ever attended picnics in
this section. This will not take the
place of the old soldiers picnic which
is held here each year the fourth Sat-
urday in July.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1916-06-29

Probably no announcement has
ever been awaited with more eager
anticipation by a larger number OF
interested people in Kingstree and
vicinity than the announcement of
the names of the prize winners in
the ladies' contest which came to a
close last Saturday night.
The last hours of the contest found
the interest intense, attested by the
crowd which thronged the offices OF
The County Record building, casting
the fast ballots and eagerly awaiting
the announcement of the winners.
All day the contest manager was
kept busy receiving subscriptions
and receipting for them, and the
number of votes polled was sur
prise to everyone. especially to the
management of The Record and the
contest department.
The Record extends congratula-
tions to the winners for the manner
in which they conducted their cam
paign, and while we rejoice with the
winners we also sympathize with
those who failed after so valiant a
fight. If everyone could win it would
not be a contest. We are glad to say
that most of those who have lost
have come forward generously and
congratulated the winners.
The contestants who fought and
won are to be doubly congratulated;
first, for their popularity with their
friends, and, secondly. for seizing the
opportunity to demonstrate the pluck
and hustle that is within them. The
unsuccessful candidates are to be
congratulated for showing the pub
lie that they had the vim and cour-
age to stick to the end, many of
them against heavy odds. and moth
ing will be lost by them for standing
nm and fighting to the last.
The business-like way in which this
steady eight weeks canvass was con-
Quoted by the candidates proves
their worth to the community, and
we are proud that there are among

Omen Letter from Mr.Swearingen

Omen Letter from Mr.SWear1ngen
State Superintendent of Education
John E Swearingen has sent the fol-
lowing letter to the county Superin-
tendents of Education:
Dear Sir:-The Democratic en-
rollment now in progress in every
county affords school officers and
teachers practical test of our edu-
cational efficiency.
Every white man above twenty
one years of age is entitled to enroll
in his local club, and should be urged
to do 80. As far as practical, every
voter should write his own signature,
although it will be necessary for un-
trained and unlettered men to sign
with a cross.
On the Democratic club rolls of
1914 nearly 2296 of the reported en-
rollment was marked with this cross.
Is it too much to hope that gener-
al and universal enrolment in 1916
will show a material reduction in this
percentage of illiterates? hope To-
cal club officers everywhere will join
hands with school workers in an ef-
fort to reduce this number.
After the enrolment for each
county has been finished, | shall ask
the county Democratic chairman for
the data so kindly furnished from a
majority of the counties in 1914.
The enclosed sheet shows the nature
of these data, which | trust may be
promptly collected and forwarded
from every county. The cooperation
of the county chairman and the
county superintendent in securing
these facts will be of material serv-
ice to the schools, and will be highly
appreciated by the State Superln-
tendent.
Respectfully,
JE SWEARINGEN,
State Supt of Education.
