as one Of the best sermons ever de-
livered in Manning. His theme was:
"Be man with definite, noble pur-
pose" and assured the young men
that the people were behind them in
their. purpose to get the Kaiser, the
present Goliath who is vaunting him

suffering into the world. He remind

their mothers was that each of them
should "Be a MAN."

SOLDIERS GET HEARTY
RECEPTION HERE

The fact that we arc at war was in
a measure brought home to the people
OF Manning Saturday evening. There
were more soldiers here then and Sun
day than at any other time since the
Spanish American War. About thirty
hus ky young soldiers from Camp
jackson were entertained by the cit
liens here for the week end.
The authorities, except in unusual
cases, will not grant rurloughs for a
longer period than about thirty-six
hours, and as a result those boys who
live in other States are unable to 90
nome. They become very tired of the
monotony of Camp life, but have no
place ago. About ten days ago the
Rev. l.. b. McCord, pastor of the Pres
bytcrlan church. was at Camp Jack
son for few hours, and after learn
ing the situation, brought the matter
TO the attention of his congregation
and suggested that the folks here in
ylte some of these boys to come down
Saturday evening and spend Sunday
IN our homes. The opportunity to do
something for these gallant boys was
quickly grasped by the citizens and in
short time homes for forty we're
provided. A number OF others wished
to entertain, but it was understood
that not over forty would be sent,
