WELCOME OUR BOYS ON 10TH.
There VIII BE ~ Men to Assemble,
Hero as Second Contingent.

On Tuesday Of next week. Sep
tember 18th, there will be 70 of Oco-
nee's young men Of the selective
draft assembling in Walhalla prepar-
atory to departing for the training
camp on Wednesday morning, the
18th. 1t is planned to mect these
young men at the high school audi
torium at $40 o'clock Tuesday night,
only invited to be present ut that
time, but all are urged to come out
and meet these young fellows who
are to fight our battles for us. Citi-
zens Of other towns and other COM
munities In the county viii be most
cordially welcomed at this meeting.
Capt. w. d. Workman, OF Company
A, First Regiment, has been invited
to be In Walhalla next Tuesday as a
guest OF the town, and 1t is sincerely
hoped that he will be able to be pres
ent. The Oconee volunteers are in
the main in Capt. Workman's COM
mand, the Butler Guards, and it Will
be the ondeavor Of the local commit
tee to have all our boys now encamp-
ed at Greenville. and possibly some
other camps If it Is found that ar
rangements can be made for their

more distant camps. The getting to-
gether OF the 70 young men who are
about to enter the military service
and those Of the volunteer forces
now In active training should provo
an inspiration to both these bodies
OF young men and to our citizens as
we'll.
Capt. Workman Is reputed to be
an able speaker and splendid type
Of our military officers as we'll. He
Is loved by every member of his
command, which looks upon him as
daddy" as we'll as commander.
There will be local speakers pres
ent who will make brief talks, and
representatives Of the soldier boys as
we'll as those who are now answering
the call will also be asked to make
brief remarks. Capt. Workman will,
however, hold the center Of attention,
and Will be made the real feature Of
the meeting so far as the speakers
are concerned. @Ey';1'

those of the county at large who can

being given the best accommodations
possible. There is nothing too good
for the United States soldier. Bear
that in mind, and let us show our
boys that, though we cannot all 20 to

TO GET OFFICERS FROM RANKS.
Vacancies In Officers Training Camps
Not to Be Filled,

Charleston, Sept. 9.--There will be
no vacancies filled in the second off,
GERS training camp, according to a
ruling by the Secretary of War. No.
tice to this effect was sent out to-
night from the headquarters Of the
Department Of the Southeast, and
will affect large number Of mon
who have hopes of being selected to
fill the places Of cadets who have
ibseassa rQnpsd fSolnst ts&ining camp
at Fort Oglethorpe.
Many Of these men have taken ex-
aminations for the camp during the
past week and fully expected t. be
selected for entrance. The depart.
mcnt explains. however, that these
examinations were given with the
distinct understanding that they did
not obligate the government in any
way.
The new ruling does not affect men
who were called previously and were
delayed in reaching the camp. The
decision indicates that the War De-
partment intends to get all future
officers from the ranks.
