TREES ALONG HIGHWAYS.

The time when most Of the roads OF
this county ran for the greater part OF
their way through woods is familiar
recollection Of all the natives who have
passed fifty or sixty years.
Take, for instance, any Of the high
ways leading out Of the town Of York
ville-that towards HowelPs ferry, that
toward Rutherfordton, that toward
Lincolnton, or Kings Mountain OF
Rock Hill, or Charlotte, and there was
more wooded mileage than there was
cleared mileage.
OF course there Is nothing to be re-
gretted in the clearing up of the land
throughout the country, for the land
needed to be cleared before 1t could
be put to its proper use; but there Is
one thing that Is to be regretted and
that Is that in the clearing the old
folks did not look ahead to the days
when the shade which was then more
than abundant, might come In for
higher appreciation.
All our York county boys who have
been in France, have brought back most
pleasant and delightful word pictures
of the highways. In the first place
the roads have been well graded, In the
second place they have been splendidly
surfaced, and last, but by no means
least, they are bordered on both sides
by delightful shade trees.
How often has the destruction Of the
beautiful shade trees along the French
highways been made the subject OF sto-
ries that have sickened the hearts es-
pecially of those who admire the USE
full as combined with the beautiful In
n w r.
man armies should have devoted their
time and energies to destroying these
shade trees is difficult to realize; but
in this connection their reasoning seems
good. The Germans are very pract1-
CAL methodical, systematic and intelli-
gent people. They are not people to
waste valuable time, labor and effort
out of mere wantonness. or course
they know that the setting out and
growth of the French shade trees rep
resented generations Of time and efrort
with all the value accrued. The BUS
mess Of the Germans was to injure the
French as much as possible, and we
may we'll feel assured that from their
standpoint the Germans felt that they
were being fully repaid for all 1t cost
to ruin those shade trees.
And II these trees were Of such tre-
mendous value to the French, why
would similar trees not be equally
worth while to US? We have nothing
Of the kind; certainly nothing of the
kind that we have right to claim any
special credit for or that we have a
right to be proud Of. That we have
nothing Of this kind, however, Is no
reason why we should not have our
full share.
Properly organized the young people
Of the county could soon set out dou-
BILE lines Of shade trees along every
road, and IL they would only do 1t such
undertaking would carry both present
and future reward. The present re-
ward would come in part in conscious
ness of a service rendered to the future
and years later on there would be still
future reward to be realized from the
most pardonable pride that will be oc.
casioned through the expressions OF
appreciation and gratitude. which VIII
then become the invariable rule In
connection with the matter.

BOY SCOUT MOVEMENT.

The following address by VIM. @.
McAdoo to the parents Of America, is
important, interesting and timely:
The congress Of the United States,
recognizing the value Of proper train
ing Of American boyhood, granted a
special charter for the organization Of
the Boy Scout of America This Or
ganization now embraces 375o00 splen-
did American boys: but this Is very
small proportion of the 100000
American boys between the ages Of IL
and q who ought to be given the bene-
fit of Boy Scout discipline, training
and practice.
The future of the nation depends,
Of course, upon its youth. The faith
ers and mothers Of American boys
will be gravely derelict in parental
duty and in national obligation If they
fail to give their hearty support, moral
and financial, to this great American
Boy Scout movement. Not only Is
every Boy Scout given knowledge and
training which equips him, better for
the battle Of life itself, but there are
inculcated in him the duties, obliga-
tions, ideals and higher conceptions
Of American citizenship.
Each year the Boy Scout movement
is turning out thousands of better
boys and creating the finest types Of
future American patriots. No cause
should appeal more strongly to the
mothers and fathers of America than
the Boy Scout cause.
The Boy Scouts raised several hum
dred million dollars in the Liberty
Loan and war savings stamps cam
paign. They did splendid work for
the Red Cross in its several national
compaigns. They served the govern
ment in many other effective ways
during the great world war. 1t Is an
organization of gallant patriots and
deserves the encouragement and sup
port Of the nation.
The week beginning June and
ending June IA has been set apart as
Boy Scout week for the purpose of en-
larging and strengthening the Boy
berships in the Boy Scout organization
will be. offered to the mothers and
fathers of American boys and to other
adult American citizens. This, If sue
cessful, will provide supporting adult
organization to the Boy Scouts Of
America which will assure the en-
larged usefulness and effectiveness Of
the Boy Scout movement. Surely
there are 100000 American men and
women who are willing to help the
boys Of America to become the best
of all American citizens. Surely there
are millions Of other American citizens
who are willing to contribute small
sum to put the Boy Scout organization
on strong and permanent basis which
will assure the continuous training Of
the young Of America in the finer
ideals and conceptions and citizenship
in the greatest democracy on earth.
This worthy cause stands alongside
the Red Cross and other humanitarian
organizations which have had the gen.
erous support Of the American people
In the name Of Americas best boy
hood I beg Americas manhood and
womanhood to help.

The suffarge forces at Washington
have wired the governors Of all the
states requesting them to call extra
of the legislature to pass on
the question Of ratifying the suffrage
to the constitution Of the

act at once; but it is pretty safe to say
that South Carolina will hardly hold
an extra session Of the legislature on
the subject.
