DEGREE OF SCIENCE
FROM COLLEGE CHARLESTON \

Mr.. W. G. Houseal, Jr., son of DR..
and Mrs. W G. Houseal of Newberry,
has had the degree of bachelor of sci
ence conferred upon him by the Col
lege of Charleston This is an in
stance where merit had the right of
way, and the record is rare After
winning the A. B. degree from New
berry college at the commencement Of
1915 young Houseal took a post
graduate course in the College of
Charleston. At the recent commence
ment exercises of that college he did
not receive the B. S. degree when it
was conferred upon the members of
the senior class because he did not
complete the course until the 14th of
June, net having finished his studies
in time. But he kept to his studies
and did the required work, and he
was rewarded in an unusual manner
by receiving a letter from the office
of the president of the College Of
Charleston, which is worth mention
ing and to which we take great pleas
ure in calling attention. The presi-
dent, under date of June Il, informs
Mr.. Houseal that at the last meeting
of the faculty he was recommended to
the trustees TO rthe degree of bache-
lor of science. After explaining that
in due process of ratification of the
action of the faculty by the trustees
the diploma would be mailed, the
president concludes his letter by say
ing: Il am glad that this matter has
been successfully arranged and that
you will be upon the list of gradua-
tes of the college"

Like the Anderson Mail We sympa-
thize with the exemption board. Theirs
is not going to be an easy task and
neither will their bed be a bed OF
roses.
! About fifty per cent of those who
registered have already claimed an
exemption and it is to be up to the
board to say who is to be exempted.
The board should be big enough to
use its authority wisely and we'll. Ex-
emptions should not be granted for
personal reasons but on account of the
service the party asking exemption
may be able to render. There are
those who have dependents upon
them and who can at the same time
take care of these and render a SER
vice to the country better by being
left at home than by going into the
firing line.
The service at home is no less i'm
portant than the service at the front.
The srmy will have to be fed and
clothed and some one will have TO
be left here to supply these.

Newberry and the State and the
country did well in the campaign for
the money TO rthe Red Cross work.
The one hundred million was more
than raised. In Newberry county the
apportionment was $1,000, but as IN
6icated in The Herald and News the
amount has reached more than SlO,-
600. It was a cause that appealed TO
our people and we'll it might.
Our prayer is that our boys WI not
be sent across the seas until we get
something there with which to feed
and clothe them and some one there
10 look after the wounded anu su1I-
ering. 1t would be cruel to do other
wise.
It really looks sometimes that this
is to be a. war of starving and when
of the great contending forces can
manage to hold out the longest with
sufficient food will win the war.

then added II new books to the list

Third Officers
Camp Is Planned

WASHINGTON, Sept. s-Befors
spring 100000 more drafted men will
have been called to the colors, accord
ing to an Interpretation placed upon .
statement by Secretary Of War Baker
to-day.
Secretary Baker said the War De-
partment is considering the question
Of establishing a third officers trsin-
ing camp after the second camps now
al work close their three m9nthS
course.
The second camp Is designed to sup
ply in part officers to train the second
SOC. 900 drafted men, who will be called
to the colors after the first $4,000,
now in process of mobilization, shsii
have been put through a course OK
training for service on the Western
front.
Similarly the officers training camp
would be designed TO furnish ofhcers
for the third contingent Of drafted
men. Facilities for training American
soldiers back of the lines in France
will enable the movement OF drafted
men of the National Army to France
before their training is completed.
This factor has been taken into consid.
Grafton in estimates that the second
500 900 may be called out before winter
has progressed far. and that arrange
ments will be made 70 call out the
third 100000 by spring.
Privates and non-commissioned ofh-
GERS in National Army training can
tonments will be given the preference
in selecting student officers for the
third officers training camp, Secretary
Baker said to-day.
There will be few chances Of pro-
motion for National Guard enlisted
men to commander ranks in the Ma
tional Army. The explanation OF this
is that the War Department wlshes 10
hold intact the National Guard.
Present plans contemplate retaining
the sixteen National Army canton
u,snts. the sixteen National Guard
camps and all the present othcers
training camps as going institutions SO
Ionp as the war continues.
