At this writing group center
commandments have been held
at Titles Mills, Ellerbe and Cor
dova as scheduled. Those at
Roberdel and Pee Dee are being
held this week.
They have been attended so
far with marked interest upon
the part of the pupils of the vari-
Gus schools and the people of the
several school communities rep
resented. The parents and
friends of the pupils have turned
out in large numbers at the res
pective school houses, have
entered intellectually into the
spirit of the occasion, and have
followed all the exercises with
close attention.
An interesting feature of the
day at Titles Mills and Ellerbe
was an address on Patriotism and
the War by Hon. B. F. Reynolds,
who is always an attractive
speaker, and was at his best on
these occasions. The church at
Titles Mills and the town hall at
Ellerbe, which were kindly made
available, were crowded to their
limits. At Littles Mills, the good
people spread their dinner TO-
gether after the good old style,
and it was fortunate for all con-
cerned that Mr.. Hoover was not
present. There is no prospect
of famine in this land of milk
and honey"
At Ellerbe, the business men
of the community very gener-
ously made up money for the
purpose of offering second prizes
in each contest. All prizes were
given in Thrift Stamps. The
exhibits of school work, the
defamation contests and ath-
letic events have all been of a
high order and reflect great
credit upon those concerned.
The prize winners are as follows:

quite sure you will excuse mistakes
SO with this view | will say word

had it and | never saw boys enjoy
themselves so much in all my life. In
the meantime we were called ''rook-
les" by those whom | will venture to
say had only been at the station one
week, yet they were salty sailors"
but this rookie junk was soon for
gotten. Friends, no doubt but what
the first month, or detention period,
is when we see our hardest time, at
least it has been for me up until now,
and most of the boys seem to agree.
For almost two weeks | thought the
end was approaching from the effects
Of the "shots" in my arm, vaccina-

After staying in Camp Decatur a
week our company of about sixty |
boys moved to Camp Paul Jones and
it was here we finished our deten-
ton period. At the same time our
bunch was split up, part Of them went
out as apprentice seamen, part as
gunners' mates and the remainder
were transferred to the New Avia-
ton camp where | am located at
present. On the oath day of June
we entered the machinist mates (avi-

ther training as aerial gunners at a
naval flying station, and about the
same number are retained on the sta
ton TO I'll the quota Of instructors.
The boys under instruction are
granted elderly" 80 hours each week,
and Of course this time Is spent in
the nearby cities, which are Chicago
and Milwaukee, Wis. Friends, !
want to say that in these cities, boys
in uniform are treated just the same
as they would be at home. There are
several club rooms throughout the
cities, each devoting their time en-
tirely to the entertainment Of the
sailors and soldiers. On the 18th
day Of August we were issued our
hammocks, which are a navy insti-
tuition: Immediately we began to
learn the acrobatic stunt of climb
ing into them, but most of the first
night was spent in climbing in again
by some Of the boys. My time was
almost due and knew il, so on the
second night about 2 A. NJ. I fell to
the deck bruising my knee and have
not fully recovered from the accident
yet. II is enough to make any one
use profane language and lay the
blame on the kaiser, where it belongs.
We are coming Mr.. Kaiser,
Coming five million strong.
Take all the comfort that you can,
Your days will not be long.
Yes. we are coming Mr.. Kaiser,
Coming sure as death,
So get ready Mr.. Kaiser,
To draw your last, long breath.
Yes, we are coming Mr.. Kaiser,
Because we said we'd come.
Can't you hear our bugle sound
And the beating of our drum?
Yes, we are coming Mr.. Kaiser.
With our bayonet on our gun;
To chastise the royal prince
Who started this war for fun.
ANOW btutNt Ilt hTs hdlStI,
It's the solemn truth | tell
When Uncle Sam gets over there,
You'll think you are in hell.
Our boys Are slow to anger
But harder yet to please
And they will make you kiss "Old |
Glory"
Upon your Bonded knees.
Your last days will be miserable,
As much so as can be,
And hell will be your portion
Throughout eternity.
When we get you Mr.. Kaiser.
Where to put you, who can tell;
The devil, he won't want you.
Lest you'd start war down in hell.

The New Art of the Theater' announced for the May Century, will give it is said complete expos- tion of the various tendencies which have made this movement notable.

Der that the law requires each elector to be sworn on registering.
 The volume of business in the county recorders office for last year was double that of any previous year, ne- cessitating a corresponding increase in the clerical force which taxes to the utmost the capacity and accommoda- tionS of the county recorders office, and thus far this year there are no in dications or prospects of the work di- minishing. This condition has made it necessary to provide other quarters for registration purposes and to this end arrangements have been made for ac- commOdations in Second avenue side of the Ford Hotel building, which will be registration headquarters for Mari copa county during the year, and where a corps of competent deputies and clerks will be in attendance during business hours Gncluding the noon hour) for the purpose of registering all electors.
 During the present war period it is the duty of every loyal American to assist in every reasonable way to keep down expenses, not only in the house. hold, but in all public matters. By calling at registration quarters in the Ford hotel building and registering as soon after May 6 as possible, you will not only materially aid the registration officers in the performance of their work, but will have the assurance of being properly registered and at the same time do your bit in keeping down expenses by making it unneces- sary for officers to hunt you up to register you, as the period in which to do this work is limited by statute, and must be completed on time.

It Means More Sacrafice

The lengthening list of casualties from the front in France the daily reports of the dead and wounded remind us that in the first line trenches We Americans a whole have failed to realize the deadly seriousness of the conflict in which we are engaged. Until very short time ago many people persisted in saying that we would send an army to France.
 When the draft numbers were announced, not yet ago people generally seemed think that only few of those enrolled in the army lists would actually be called and of those called only few would ever see active service.
 The demands for economy in the use of food for long time were not taken seriously. Evasions of the food regulations taken as a sort of joke. Business men preached the doctrine of business as usual" People told to keep their accustomed ways in business and financial matters.

A Day of Prayer

Fifty-fve years ago yesterday was dark day in this country. It was also a day of prayer. The nation had ceased to rely solely upon it's power to preserve the union but had turned to God. By the proclamation of President Lincoln under resolution of the United States senate, April 30, 1863 became day of prayer. There was need of Divine interposi ton The war for the Union had been going from bad to worse. Union commanders one after another had been tried out and found wanting. In the division of military commanders at the outbreak of the war secession had taken best that i the best of those of recognized military ability. Two years of fighting had recalled the old couplet:
 They took the good too good on earth to stay. And left the bad, too bad to take away"
 The unionists had twice been defeated at Bull Run. The southerners were possession of Harpers Ferry. That Washington would fall seemed probable. An invasion of the north was being prepared An im- peria government being set up in Mexico. AL together the prospect gloomy one that April day when the nation bowed in prayer.
 Sixty-five days later President Lincoln issued a proclamation setting day for Thanksgiving Within a little more than two months the nation had been saved. vcksburg had fallen under the hammering Of Grant. The northern invasion had ended with the crushing defeat of the confederaes Gettysburg and with it had passed the last hope of the south
 Some have since regarded the turn or events
 miracle, result of direct Divine nterposition. 9th CTS while admitting that that Day of Prayer had marked effect upon events, believe that it's effect first the people, that it brought to them increase of faith; it raised them spiritually; they forgot their fears. The thing for which they were fighting stood out clearer
 The apathetic were also aroused by this day of prayer That is. to say, in the view of many, the effect psychological but whatever was, it decisive and immediately after the petition of the ton went up the fortunes of the south began steadily to descend.
