GOVERNOR RETURNS
FROM VISIT TO son
Mrs Harrington And Children to Re
main South For Some Weeks
Urges Need of Sweaters.

Governor Harrington return ed
home yesterday after visit of aDcut
one week to Camp Mcclellan, Ann is
ton. Ala. where his SON Lieut.. EN- CT
son {. Harrington, Jr., is stationed.
Adjt.-Gen. Henry NJ. Warneld, Who
accompanied the Governor, also re-
turned Mrs. Harrington, Miss Mary
Harm gton and Master Billy" H-r-
ring,on will remain in Admission Tor
some weeks.
The Governor was enthusiastic ov-
er conditions at the camp. He found
the sC-uiers splendidly trained
body Of men and the moral cor al
lions surrounding the camp most eX-
cellent Not all of the Maryland
boys have sweaters, the Governor
said, and the cold weather which will
hit the camp soon makes it neccs-
sary that there be no relaxation in
the work of knitting and sending
sweaters tc them.
The following statement was given
out by the Governor:
My visit to Admission was not an
official one. | went to accompany
E;Mrs. Harrington, who is visiting my
|:son, Emerson. l asked General War
Field to accompany ME because |
wanted to find out all l could about
our Maryland Doys and about condi-
tions surrounding Camp Mcclellan.
General Gather, who had been ad
vised of our coming, with General
Rafferty,. who, in the absence OF
General Morton, is the commanding
general, met US at the depot, and
General Warfield while at Anuiston
was General Gathers guest.
"On learning that my visit would
be of short duration, General Raffer-
ty changed his plans so that on
Thursday last he would have his first
Divisional Review in our honor On
Wednesday General Warfield and l
lunched with General Gather at his
headquarters, and on Thursday after
the review l was the guest of honor
at luncheon at General Rafferty's
headquarters.
THE Divisional Review on Thurs
day was magnificent. Camp McCiel-
Ian is beautiful camp, and the
grounds for the review were spec
tacular in the extreme. Within one
hour and "a minutes after we had
taken our positions ON the reviewing
stand the last of the troops had pass
ed. There was not the slightest
hitch or the least confusion 1t was
the grandest military sight l have
ever seen. A finer body of men with
finer spirit l cannot imagine to exist,
and the Maryland boys fully held
their own. General Gather upon
his beautiful steed fully deserved the
applause which was given him.
''On Sunday Mrs. Harrington and
L were guests of Colonel and Mrs.
Little at an old fashioned Maryland
country dinner at Colonel Lift e's
headquarters, and must pause here
to say that Mrs. Little is the bus est
woman at Admission. She is untirn
in her work for the Maryland boys.
There is quite colony of Maryland
women at Admission, and Mrs. Little
has them all at work for our boys,
and I want to call attention to the
fact that not all of the boys have
sweaters yet, and very soon they Will
need them badly. The climate is
fine now, but it will soon turn cold,
and 1 hope the women of Maryland
will not relax work in this respect.
''Of one thing our people can feel
assured, and that is that the moral
influences surrounding Camp McClel-
Ian are of the very highest order.
Alabama has real prohibition, and if
there is any division of sentiment,
failed to find it, and violators are
punished by sentence to work in the
mines. l saw no tthe slightest sign
of intoxicants or intoxication while
was at Admission. The moral iniu-
ences surrounding the camp in other
respects are equally gratifying as
well as surprising. 1 am confident
that our boys parents will be graft
fed to know the excellent conditions
existing"
