WOULD PAVK THKIK PROPERTY
Two Merchants Would Pay Own Cost
If Allowed to Make Improvements.
In conversation with Mr. J. K.
U>wls <iX the firm of JahvIs & Christ
owl, grotvry mei-chams, who ojnrute
on one of the principal business sites
in Camden Mr. Lewis told u? that bin
tlrui^Was willing at ?ny tliue to have
the. roadway paved In fr<?nt of tlielr
store wlthAut any cost to the city if
the .council wowltl agree to let them
make 'the Improvement.
, . of course this would mean only tho
width of their frontage half way across
Main Street and It would hardly look
good to have part of the street paved
and the balance unpaved. Hut we
are giving the suggestion as being a
pood one that might start a movement
that would get It road street jwved
without coi-t to the tax payers, pro
vided other merchants would join in.
Mr, IiewU further i says that Mr. W.
,^T. Smith will agree1 to the same propo
sition, aud tljere might l?e other iner
. chants wh!o wouW readily Join In
the movement were they approache<l
Upon the subject.
.Ihirlug the summer mouth# Main
k street Is In fair condition, but durlpg
the rainy weather of the winter months
It geta In pretty tad condition, aud
a liandaomely paved Main street would
not 'only add to the looks of the city
Irofc would be a comfort for shoppers
during. bad weather.
l?orne ami aro enduring with snob
splendid fortitu<l? ami courage the hOT
rors aud brutalities of a war forced
Upon them and us by a brutal and
savage foe? We urge upon our people
to stamp .out- any ami all disloyalty
on the part of any of our cUlzenS by
Word or dwd, who are contributing to
the of. ou? enemies aud we
pledge to oUr sons who are bleeding
and dying .at the front for our liber*
ties, that our home flues shall be kept
burning, and we pray God that they
may -tot-uftr "to us^wtth the glories of
victory upon their arms."' .
Mr. Pollock, in commencing his
"keynote" speech, said that the conven
tion was not wholly South Carolinian,
but wa? typically American, a militant
iforce welded together by patriotic
Ideals' aud determined to go the limit
In the^vlunlng of the war. The speak
er ka id that the present was no time
for partlsiMi or factional politics, but
this Is a time when the groat Ameri
can .?pGQllil?, living within the confines
or. South Carolina, are convened for
rUife purpose of <pre?erviug the liberties
of this country and the world and to
hold together tlYe standards of civili
zation and of human freedom every
where.'- : ' ?
The speaker said that h ? Would that
every heart In South Carolina beat in
the interests of .America aud that
every man in this State were loyal
to the uttermost. He thanked God
that for the Democratic party, for
America and for the world there is
presiding over the destinies of this na
tion aud In part presiding over the
destinies of " all nations that iucom
He told hofv six years ago the State
convention stotx* steadfast for the Gov

Baltimore, and how that delegation

to. see -him nominated for the Presi-*
dency and later 'win! South Carolinim*,
he "Stated, had, -stood behind the Pres
ident ' ever since.
? Mrr i>oltocir*snid This "great man of
the universe'! was :a "i|jeace-loviug
man and the people of America were
a peace-loving people," but German
aggression ffrtd^aHphenzolleru ruthless
new drove America ihto the war, for
which he thanked God. The speaker
briefly and eloquently told of the mil
itary, philosophy of Germany, which
culminated in the .perpetration of the
great war awl all its Potsdam barbar
ities. He described the overrunning of
Mmfe and the rape of Belgium and
the untold horrors suffered l?y the
oitlzertS of those two countries and of
Northern France. , The speaker said
that he wished that, from purely altru
istic motives, America could have seen
tit to enter the. war for freedom when
Belgium neutrality was violated and
her people tVoddeu under the^ mailed
foot of HohentfollernUm. But when,
after diplomacy had failed he said, and
Germany: tfipd scut a meWge t.o the

Is a drop of manhood in him," said the
speaker, 'Svlio is- reputed by the news
papers as saying 'I don't care what
kind of an America we have after
.1 am dead.' I. can't1 conceive of a
more damnable utterance for a totan
who calls himself an American citizen

sketched what would have been the
fate of tie United ^tatef* if Washing
ton and the soldiers of the Revolution
"bad followed ^stieh a philosophy. ?

speaker amid thunderous applause

First Train -Ferry to Cross Channel.
. For the first time in the history of
railroading a train ferry has crossed
the English Channel from Newhaven
England, to IHrtppe, Franco, carrying
about 50 ears, says the June Popular
Mechanic* Magasfue. Since tSarljr in
the war thousands of British ralhyay
ears have been employed In France
in transporting troops and supplies,
hut they have all been transferred
,to the continent by freighters. The
inauguration of ferry service Indi
cates that the difficulties created by
very pronounced Jides hqve been over
come at last to the mutual advantage
of* these two allies. At Dioppc the
water level varies as much as 31 fetet.
To overcome this, short bridges, at
tached at one end to the dock an<J
resting on large float#, are employed.
During loading and unloading the fer

things are going well with you and
always glad to know .that the home
folks are doing well.
"I think they are trying to make a
real soldier out of me now. Wo arc

May Enter Race For Treasurer.
Up to the present time only one
candidate has announced for county
office this summer ? that of Mr. W.
A. Shaw, of Kershaw, for the office
of county treasurer. The name of
Mr. It. I*. Williams has boon men
tioned In connection with this offlco
but ho lias not fully made up his
"mind yet tx> enter the raee, though
he has had many of hit* friends to
promise him their suwwrt. Dr. W?
J. Dunn has been mentioned as a
probable candidate for the senate from'
this county, also that of Attorney J,
Copoland Massey of Kershaw. Sev
eral names have been mentioned In
the' matter of the sheriff's office. Some
contend that the appointment of
Sheriff Hough does not hold good for
the entire term of the late Sheriff
H^tckabee, while others think that Mr.
Hough's term Is for the full four
yea rs.
