NUMBER 3?. THE SEABOARD EX1'ANI)IN<; I Adds Three More DeLuxc Traiiw to, Florida From the East Norfolk, Va., November 21.? The Seabourd announces today the estab lishment of its three do luxe winter trains between New York and Flor ida?the schedule providing a hitherto unequalled service, carrying: the very latest Pullman equipment and more conveniences than have ever before been provided for winter travel be tween the North and South. The Orange Blossom Special* one of the finest of trains, will make its first trip from New York on Novem ber 21st, will operate on a fast sched ule to West Palm Beach and St, Petersburg, and will be the only one night-out fast train to both coasts, of Florida through Central Florida I by daylight. The Seaboard Florida Limited j (East Coast) that has /for the past i twentyfive years served the winter travel to the East Coast of Florida, j will make its first trip from New J York Monday, December 7A, and be cause of the increase in traffie to i Florida this season, there .will also be established the Seaboard Florida Limited (West Coast), operating be tween New York and St. Petersburg, nerving the resorts on the West Coast of Florida. This is a now limited J train similar in equipment to the East ' Coast train. These two limiteds make tho run between New York and Flor- ! Ida in two nights and one day. Club lounge car with barber-valet] und shower bath service for men; and j observation lounge car with maid manicurist service and bath for ladies will be provided on all of these three trains in addition to modem section, compartment and drawing room sleeping cars between New York, Washington and the principal resorts on the east and west coasts and in central Florida. With the addition of these three luxurious trains, the Seaboard will have six fast trains botween eastern cities and Florida, as wel\ as the pop- j alar Sewanee Special operating be* j tweon 4the central west and the west coast of Florida and the New Orleans , Florida Limited between Jacksonville ! and New Orleans which carries the first sleeping car ever operated be tween , Jacksonville and California carried on the Southern Pacific's famous "Sunset Limited" from New Orleans. With the completion last winter of the Seaboard's new Cross Florida Short Line between Tampa, St. Pet ersburg and Coleman, through the famous scenic Highland and Lake Region of Central Florida to West Palm Beach, it gave the Seaboard the only line over which through trains oould be operated over its own rails from eastern cities to both the east and west coasts and central Florida; and made it the only railroad over which a winter ticket can be pur chased to West Palm Beach that will enable a passenger to visit both coasts with stop-over privileges in central Florida without additional cost. The Seaboard is the only railroad with through short line passenger fervicc across the southern peninsula of Florida, and which has shortened the time from about 18 hours to six and a half hours. ? Heretofore, pas serfeere going from one coast to the other had to make the trip through Jacksonville. " With this great increase in train *ervicoT .the .Sea hoard looks forward to a record breaking passenger Busi ness this season, and was never more completely equipped to handle this anticipated volume. So vast has been the increase in its business and so great the movement to the South that better facilities for handling it have required the expense of millions. New automatic block signals and in terlocking plants, many passing tracks and extensions of present side tracks; and the double-tracking of many places on its divisions in the Carolines, Georgia and Florida; the, addition of 50 locomotives and 12, new specially designed all-steel dining cars has. greatly increased the facil ities and accommodations for hand ling the traffic over its lines the com ing season. The Seaboard is now building and planning new extensions in the very near future which will greatly expand its territory and its usefulness; a con necting link of 22 miles being now built between Brooksvflle and Inver ness, Fla., giving the Seaboard .a new route between Jacksonville, Damp* and St. Petersburg. When completed i? December it will give a two-track lto* betwe^p Waldo tod the West A r ? y '? " /: BETHUNE NKW8 NOTES ! items of Iat?rMt as Gathered By Our ! Regular Correspondent H<thun?>, s.

I .*? | ^ ' if- ?? ? ? > BLKASK TO PUBLISH WKKKLY Vifwi and Political DiHcusMtons <?ivcn Hy South I'an.lin,! St Announcement was made in Ander ? ,y | #on rvcenfcly that Senator Colo I.. Blease, of South Carolina, would be gin on December 10, the publication of a weekly newspaper, to be known *4 "Blease's Weekly." The publica tion will be edited personally by Sen ator Blease, and will contain woekly his view* on all matters of import' ance in the national capital, in addi tion to the senator's opinions regard ing various political and government al problems. Senator Blease's publication will ma"ke its appearance on December 10. lit will be printed at Anderson, S. C., and mailed from there. The- subscrip tion price to the publication, .which , will be a fuU-siz?d seven-column | newspaper, will be two dollars a yeai'\ i payable In advance. Wilton E. Hall, editor of The Anderson Independent, will bi? business manager of the new paper. Much Interest has been aroused ovef the announcement ' that Mr. Blease would give the people of South Carolina and elsewhere, his views J < ach week through a newspaper of his own. It. is believed thht the new paper will be given a warm welcome in this statb, as Mr. Blease's friends will hail its appearance as a free ? lance, independently published organ, expressing Mr. Blease's ideas after j the manner used by the late Senator j Tom Watson of Georgia, whose paper I Was for years a favorite in that state 1 and over adjoining states. It an j nounced that sample .copies will be I mailed persons who request them, | while the subscription books of . the ! paper are open, and many subscrip i tions have been received. Traffic Lights Installed ! In place of the round cement [markers in the center of the streefs [at several of the intersections electric i lights with red bulbs are now being j installed, being protected on top by an J iron case. A small strip of asphalt j had to be cut to Uiy the w ire con i nections, but the paving has not been ' marred to any extent*. It will prove valuable by night as well as by day and is a great improvement over the old way. These lights are being placed at six points ? corner Broad and Arthur; corner Rutledge and Broad; corner Broad and DeKalb; corner Lyttleton and DeKalb; corner Market and De Kalb; corner Fair and DeKalb. The suggestion had been made that regular automatic block signals bo placed at corner of Broad and DeKalb over which most of the traffic passes, but the city authorities have already looked into this matter and were told that to install these signals would mean that there would be no left hand turns and they were of the opinion that this could not be operat ed on this corner without great in convenience to drivers who would nec essarily have to drive a block or more before they could make a left turn, and the idea was abandoned. To Let Contract Soon Members of the Kershaw County legislative delegation have been ad vised that the contract for grading the hard surfaced road from the Rich land County line to Camden will be let some time in December and the contract for paving of the road will be let some time during the coming year. Numbered Coin for Sale Within the legal hours of sale on Monday, salesday, December 7th, I will sell at auction Stone Mountain coin assigned to Kershaw County and especially numbered 76. The regular coins will be found on sale at the banks in Camden. Thos. J. Kirkland, Chmn. For Kershaw County. Dr. Corbett On Executive Committee St. Petersburg, Fla., Dec. 2. ? Dr. W. T.

Former Pastor Dead News has been received in Camden by the Baptist congregation of the death of a- former pastor, Rev. Lewis Alfred Mitchell, D.D.,. which occurred at his home in Rhinebeck, N. Y., on Monday, November 23, after an ill ness of about three months. This announcement brings sadness to many hearts in Camden where Dr. Mitchell and his most excellent wife and daughter' resided for more than three years and where they, in the face of seemingly insurmountable <Jif ficulties, were instrumental in the erection of the handsome church building now occupied by this con gregation. After leaving Camden sixteen years ago Dr. MfWhell retired from the active pastorate and has given himself over to evangelistic and educational work. Th*4 funeral and interment was at Rhinebeck Friday afternoon. A memorial service for Dr. Mitchell will be held in the Camden Baptist church Sunday night to which every member of the church and congrega tion is invited. ? Y - GOODFELLOWS FUND STARTED The Chronicle is this year starting its Good Fellows Club a little earlier than usual in order to raise a larger fund than last year to be distributed among the poor and needy during Christmas time. A dollar will enroll you or you can give more if you like. There are quite a number of poor and needy throughout the city to whom this annual bit of cheer brings a great deal' of pleasure and we hope there will be a liberal response to the call this year. The funds will be acknowl edged through this paper as they are received and will be turned over to a committee to see that it is properly distributed. A member of the Portland, Oregon, firs department recently confessed to kindling thirty-eight fires, and ap proximate loss of property was $100, 000. . Plan* on Display ? The plans for a new hotel for Cam den have been placed on display in the show window of the DeKalb Phar macy. These plans call for an eighty five room commercial hotel and spon sored by the Chamber of Commerce and several Camden business men they have been working on this project for some time and they tell us thdt the prospects for this hotel b?ing erected are exceedingly bright. Camden has long felt the need of a modern hotel and occupying a central point in the state and an exceedingly f important place on t>yo national high ways as well as numerous state highn ways- many travelers pass our way. For the past few years all hotels have been filled and at times it was im possible for travelers to find lodge ment here for the night. It will fill a long felt need in this city and would bring more people to this al ready popular tonrirt city. I 'ONFKKKNCK AIWI^IMBN TS Where Methodist MllrflUrt Will He ' siat lotted Another Year.
