TO their departure for camp, but could
not but note the wonderful change for

After the review Governor Whitman
and Governor Manning attended the
Spartanburg fair, and the New York
Executive was called upon for an ad-
dress, which he delivered from an au-
.omobile in the race course.
"This will be a fight to the finish,
stated the Governor, land 1t will be
with victory for the United States"
The Governor paid big compliment 10
the 9th Division, which, he said, rep
resented the entire country. He said
that the great unifcation of the nation
had come 10 pass, and that the boys IN
Camp Wadsworth were as much the
boys OF South Carolina as they were
of New York.
Governor Whitman and his party mao
intended leaving for New York to-
night. but decided 20 take advantage OF
the invitation of Governor Manning TO
be his guest at Columbia, the state
capital, for a few days before their re-
turn to the North.
Spartanburg was saddened this after
noon with the military funeral Of Pri-
waite Henry Richie, of Company b, 1920
Engineers. Private Richie died last
night in the base hospital. He was an
Irshman. having come to America
about a year ago and enlisting in the
engineers. All his relatives live in
Ireland, and it was decided to bury the
soldier in the Spartanburg cemetery
The casket was borne upon gun car
riage and was escorted to the grave by
his company and band playing fu-
neral marches.
The first of the balloting in Camp
Wadsworth will be held tomorrow
when the 1st Battalion of the 105th In

election will be held on Monday. but
the battalion is scheduled to go to the
rife range on that day. and it ha:
