this oonun unity i? to be featured on- the
historical bulletin boards of the United
State*Tire Company. These bill boards
have so Hue a reputation that our read
er* will be glad to know thin town is
to resolve publicity.
AtortorbUi from Maine to California are
acquainted with these sigu boards, which
are often described as the most wouder*
ful outdoi>r advertising in the wo t it}.
Every local motorist who baa seen any
of them regards the selection of this com
munity to get apace on the boards us
a <cause for gratification. *
Each of the boards Is in the shai>e
of >a ?great open book. Across the top
of page appears the worda "Hi*,
tory of the United States." On the left
p&ge are set forth historical facts of
Interest regarding the town wbk/h is
advertised,. On \ho opposite page is the
shnfple announcement, "United States
tires are good, tires."
The big tire company has been deli^ged
wiili letters and telegrams from cham
bers of ?otnm^rcc and officials of cities
from coast to coast urging the erection
of these history books ne>ar their towns.
Many stories are told concerning the
books to tflrow their interest to automh
bilists. One of the best of thes?j anec
dotes has to do with the only coal mine
iu Ilhodc I si aiid.
The woman wlja1 owned the property
on which the mine was located leased
a few feet of ground for a 'bulletin board.
A few weeks later she made a demand
that the board be removed, declaring
that she was driven to desperation by
the numlber of motorists who stopped
at her house asking tx> see the c6iV
mine.
Instead of removing the board, tMs
company suggested that ?he charge a
small fee for showing the visitors over
the mine. She adopted the suggestion,
and in tb^^esWaining summer months
made m^e money in this way than she
had been able to dorive from her farm
iu the two preceding years. .
Another book was placed on the front
of a famous old mission In California
at the request of the monks and brought
hundreds of additional sightseers to the
place.
now on my way to the Senate. The
old man is^ buried "too deep eyor to come
back.
Holland may hold tSe hide^of Wil
liam Ilohenzollern, but his head will
never wear another crown. The young
men have risen, and wound him up,
and carried him out and all that re
mains is a burying.
God says that there is another place
for liars and all the machinery used
in making'lies. The road to this place
lies through the cemetery and the young
men are rising.
Thoiv was a young man sent of God
Whose jnatnef wtas .flolm. He was a*
preacher by the high calling of God.
He rose up in his day and as he saw
the governing cfasses and the most re
spected people o& society and religion at
tending his services, he wound them up
in the most bitter words and Rent them
away mfr&id to practice their hypocricy
so openly as before. \ v
Jesus was never so severe as when
speaking against /the hypocrites of His
day. He book great care to warn His
disciples concerning the leaven of the
Phprasees which issued in hypocricy.
Most emphatically did ; band tbem |
as obstructionists. . Jesus Christ was a
progressive. The gospel He preached
was progressive in principle. The tbatch
less Manifesto on the Mount and the
Great Commission at the close of His
days on earth were, both of them, pro
gresawe in every sentence and syllable.
Let it be remembered forever that wher
ever His life principles have been pro
claimed a mighty energy has been im
parted to every legitimate institution
from the hom?? throughout. Business
?nen are too slow to believe this and
always they are the losers. He declared
to these obstructionists of His day that
they stood in the way of others enter
ing the larger and Jbetter life.
Jesus consigned thorn to the side-track
and taking the main line With His fol
lowers, went forward with God-given
right.
Rise up young men and follow, Him
whose example was not only high but
holy. It may not be a pleasant task,
but when the oW obstructionist hypo
crites are placed on the side track, be
fore long is the cemetery for them.
Read again in your Bibles that pic
ture, which Jesus paints for us, of the
Pharasee and the Publican. It is said
of the viper that "feeding upon good
food, it turns every thing to poison,

to strike a victim." Where could we
find this more clearly set forth than In

While out hunting a few da^s ago
Messrs. T. 11. Hortoa and Lu 8. Brown
found a crude stiH of the tin can type.
From indications it bad not been in
operation for a mo?tib or more since a
search was made in the Afcney section.
Mr. Horton jocularly dbsrgcs that it was
on Brown's land and Brown charges
that it wa$ on Ilorton's llnd. But we
believe they wore both diMsppointfcd in
that they did not get an opportunity to
"destroy" some of the juice.
To Open New Grocery.
Messrs. P. D. Stokes and H M. Kvans
have formed a partnership and will open
a grocery store in the building formeriy
occupied by the late Mo?re?Stokes Co.
Mr. Stokes was formerly with the Moore
Stokes Company which went out of busi-^
nes^ the first of the year. Mr. Kvans
has been with the Lewis and Christmas
firm for a number of years, and recently
resigned his position to enter the new
firm. Both are young men, well expert-^
encod in the g~x>cery line, and have many
friandn iu'Caaiden and throughout the
county who will be glad to know they

NEW BRIDGE OPENED
Travelers Now Cross Wateree on Bridge
Instead of Ferry.
The new bridge over the Wateree river
noar Camden was opened for traffic Tut*-,
day. A toll of fifty cents is being Col
lected on all automobiles and five cents
per head for mule teams. Travelers ap
proaching from the Columbia tide will
turn to left at a point fialf mile above
Lugoff ?t n small store. Approaching
from the Catnden side they turn to right
at forks of roiwl ju?t outside city limits.
The old bridge was washed away in
the flood of August, 1916, and^ since that
time travelers have bad to use the slow
method of crossing on a ferry. ' The
announcement of the opening of the new
bridge wSU therefore be of interest to
not only local people but statewide and
*W> tourist patrons of thr Washington

meet together and discuss the needs of
