Camden, S, Friday, July II, 1921.
The .statute law of .South Carolina
requires that the enrollment hooks of
the henna ratic club* he closed on tlx*
"fourth Tuesday of July" and thy
hooks must he closed on that day, ' lie
itJkJnd instant, despite the .fact that
the party rules provide that the rolls
remain open until the "last- Tuosday
of Inly." Those who wish to vote in
the primar.v must mku tlu t:ub roll
on or before hte fourth Tuesday,)
July I
The nominal koi of ha us, of West
Vii giriia, was a long tune coming but
it was a happy solution of a long
drawn hat t ie, and w : ? I be received
with delight by the gieut majority of
Democrats. While many steadfastly
uppoited McAdoo and Smith, a great
many more predicted the nomination
of Davis, The nomination en me at
the end of the 103rd ballot, break
ing all records for convention ballot
ing' Charles W. Ilryan, .governor of
Nebraska, and brother of William
Jennings Ilryan, was selected as a
candidate J'or vice presidency,
Lo'dy a little more iiiaii three, hun
dred names have been placed on the
enrollment books at the Camden pre
cinct, and we learn that they are
net enrolling in the; Country precincts.
When it is known that there are near
ly one thousand voters in Camden,
this will necessitate quite a lot of
work on the. part of the enrollment
committee if the voters put it oil' until
the last day. A gradual enrollment
from day to day will help thi.-^ com
mittee a great deal. Knroll now, tin
books close July L'-inl.
Many in the Pop Pp? section
have become practically impassable
because of repeated local riling, and
it wax stated iiatodlaj' that even
though rains should cease at once it
wo'uUI be several <lay?i before the
roads would become usable again.

I The Monument to Doctor Jacobs.
The Thornwell Orphanage at Clin
ton, S. C., was founded by Rev. Wil
liam. IMumer .Jacobs, I >. 1 ?. , Lli.l)., who
remained its president for forty-four
'ye Hi s.- "The ( liild" was the domi
nant idea of his entire system of
training and he had repeatedly sug
gested that the only kind of a monu
ment he would desire would be one
taking the shape of a rough boulder
upon which should be lettered the
simple inscription: "The Child.*'
After so many years Doctor Jacobs'
wish is to he fulfil led ? The alumni
association, with the help of friends,
has secured the funds for erection
of the rough stone monument and it
i-. shortly to have dedication. A huge
stone, like some of those abounding
in the Rocky Ridge section of
Cabarrus, will be transported to Doc
tor Jacob's grave, to remain forever
there unmarked by chisel, except for
the lettering of the two words. Dr.
Ross Lynn, president of Thornwell
Orphanage, is sending out word of
materialization of this "peculiar and
most interesting monument." ? Char

Bermuda Described as Paradise.
When one is planning a trip to
IV-rmuda, about the first thing one
hoars is the icmark generally at
tributed to Mark Twain, that the
voyage t Bermuda is like going
through hell t > gi t to heaven. That
[depends on the weatlyr on the At
lantic. Whatever exception the At -
| Jamie mav interpose to the first part
I of Mark Twain's epigram, no one
j will ever quarrel with his deserip
j tion of tin- islands, once they are
j safely reached.
Tho^e who gath'"* their impres
j -ions of I he 'general appearance of
! Bermuda from colored-picture post
| card- are grossly deceived, because
i there are on:v two colors in the
I islands, green and white, says a Ber
muda letter to the Brooklyn Eagle.
The artist who colors the post cards
represents the buildings a pink, red
and orange, and a roof here of red, a
blue one there and a yellow i n an
| other place, whereas every building
j on the islands, with one or two ex
! eeptions, is not only white, hut white
I washed, from the foundation wall- to
' the ridge poles on the roof.
The first \ iew one gets of the
' islands, when the steamer stops at
1 St. David's Head to take on the pilot,
j is a rolling ma-* of dark green, eov
| eretl with a -tunted growth of t,-ee.?,
studded with numerous white build* '
! ing-, all rising from a sea of azure,
I such a* is alwavs found when there
I .
1 is coral underneath.
