Postal laws and regulations, as amend
ed by the above order 1140 of this
date, effective on March ir?;h, 1018.
which Increases the limit of weight of
fourth class matter to 70 pound.*? for
panels mailed for delivery within the
first, second and third zones, and to
50 pounds for parcels mailed for deliv
ery within any <jf the other zoces. ,
This change will serve to increase
the usefulness and availability of the
pared post as a prompt, convenient and
cheap mpans xrf transporting mailable
parcel*. The increased weight lipait
will be particularly advantageous In
the marketing of products of the farm,
as it will make it possible for produc
ers and consumers to get Into direct
contact, thereby facilitating the conser
vation and distribution of food, which
is a most imj>ortant factor In winning
the war.
"The Increased weight limit does not
apply to parcels sent to the Expedition

Tells Wlwt He Hill Stand For It
Klected to Office of Mayor.
A<v?<ptlnK 1 1*0 suggestion <?f tin 'edi
torial in The Chronicle 4?f lust >veek.
1, us a candidate for Maybr,. beg to]
submit t ?> i ho voters of Camden tor
t]mjr consideration the followlngciplut*
form : .
l am la favor of and hope to at K?
a Council oloototl that is broad enough
to give and t v? take and willing to
NmoIvo and consider any suggestion
from any oitiaon of fVtmdcn or Ker
shaw County that is for the better
ment of our City and County.
I am In favor of having competent
awn on tlx* IVllee force, and to V?>
<piiro duties faithfully i>erfonned, and
I lie il?>ixi rtim?nt to ho* encouraged and
hacked l?y the Couuoil in tin' discharge
of their duties.
1 am in favor of lll?eral support to
uur tiro department and uiuro oillcicnt
equipment, for 1 consider the protect
ion we receive from it is worth more
than we can return.
it 1* useless to say 1 am a supporter
of letter streets. Other Cities are im
proving theirs, and these Cities are
not as Rood as Camden, so why not
improve oursV and not keep a baek
scat. If elected I will aid in every
way 1 can to make lasting Improve
ments on our streets.
1 am still a l?el lever that dogs should
not b?* allowed to run at large' on
our streets, wheT<?T>y citizens and es
IMH'ially children -would bo endangered
hy them.
I think a t *mneH should l?e elected
who would work in harmony with
our Commissioners of Public Works,
for I am sure the interest of either
is the interest of the other.
I have all of my life boon a believ
er in prohibition and for the last IS
years have worked for it In Kershaw
County. And (lay by day we see it
nearer. I am sure no time has ever
been >\1ien it is more needed than
today, and I am sure if a Council Is
elected that id in sympathy with pro
hibition and -will back and stand by
our police department In the discharge
of their duties, our City wjll go ou
record as protecting the manhood of
our country. I will say Jrnjt here if
we have any voter in Camden whorls
In sympathy and wishes blind tigers
to exist In Camden, I would udvise
such a one not to cast ntol vote for
me, for if I am eloctcd X will pledge
the citizen* ofCattidcrt that we Wilt'
not allow such a one here.
I am In hearty sympathy with our
National government and as they are
exjHvtlnK every cltizeu to aid in wln
nlu.T the war by work. I am sure the
cltii. 'tis of (Maiden would not stand for
ragrancy and If elected I am sure we
will all work.
Having had two yoanS work as coun
cilman and four y? irs a k Mayor i
feel that if el**ctod I would be bettor
able to give a progressive administra
tion than I could have without it, I
therefore offer myself as n candidate
for Mayor and will say to each and
every voter that if you are iu' sym
pathy with the above platform and
will ?lve me your vote and support
I will appreciate it, and I will pledge
to each citizen that if elected l will
be the Mayor of all of Oamden.
