Camp Wadsworth at Spartanburg,
is getting considerable. advertising in
the New York papers, Alexander Nc
Gill contributing a page to the mag
azine section Of The Post. We are
led to believe by his article that
Camp Wadsworth IS a small affair
compared to Camp Greene. Telling
OF the scenes on the camp grounds
while the construction of buildings
was in progress, he says that "ac-
tual!y the contract calls for ITO
buildings" and that would be but a
start for Camp Green, where the
completed buildings will foot up L.
ga. There is also description of
the Camp, Wadsworth pay roll lines
on Saturday evenings when the sum
of $4,000 is disbursed. That amount
was paid out at Camp Greene on the
first week when the construction
hands had not fully assembled, and
on no succeeding week has the paw
roll fallen short Of $13O,OOO. But It
Is the reference to the camp roads
in McGilPs article that chiefly in
terests US for in the matter of pro
yldlng camp highways, the Spartan
burg, people are a little ahead of
Charlotte. "To give an idea Of what
single item in the establishment
OF the Camp means in the way of
hauling" writes McGill, "it may be
said that the hard-surraci of line
OF Roadway between the Piedmont &
Northern terminals and the camp
center will require the daily receipt
OF fifteen cars Of crushed rock, each
averaging forty tons for a period of
several weeks. This is in addition
to carloads of ploughs, scrapers, roll
lers and other equipm ent. The highway
referred to will be finished with
crude oil and 100000 gallons of this
has been ordered" But maybe Char
lotte is going to give Camp Greene
more roads and better roads than the
Camp Wadsworth equipment That
remains to be seen.

SEND THE ROBEsONIAN TO
YOUR SOLDIER BOY

Let The Robesonian follow your
boy as he leaves home for training
camp and later for the front. There
is nothing you could send him that
would be appreciated SO much. Don't
try to send him. the paper after you
have read it. He will not get it reg
ular,y that way, and the cost Of send
ing it is almost as much that way
as the cost of subscribing for him.
Let it be mailed to him regularly
from this office. He will get it reg
ularly that way, and it will be like
letter from home to him. In no
other way can he keep UP with home
news. If any one who reads this
knows of a man called into service
whose parents Or other near rela-
tives are not able to send the paper,
he will be doing a good deed by sub
scribing for that person. And if any
parents or wife of a man who has
been called into service are not able
to send the paper if they will advise
The Robsonian to that effect it may
be that arrangements may be made
to send soldiers who have gone from
such homes The Robesonian. A Lum-
berton man has started a movement
for that purpose. There is nothing
that could give a man away from
home in the service Of his country
so much pleasure ard real satisfac-
tion as being able to read the news
