MAKE APPLICATION EARLY. Motor OwnerH Can Save Trouble By Complying With Request. The following letter from Nut Tur-; <ier, director of motor vehicle .division of the State Highway Department, will be of interest to all rrjotor vehicle owners: : ?r The Motor Vehicle Division is now mailing out applications 'for 1927 license plates at the rate of approximately twenty thousand per day, and will continue to mail out such applications until all have TfeerT forwarded. The Acts of 192G provide that license plates shall be issued during the months of November and December, and the urgency of prompt filing of applications for 1927 licenses is respectfully called to the attention of the motor vehicle owners of the State. The la\v^ further provides that in the event application for 1927 license is not filed with the Department prior to ilOth of November, a penalty of fifty cent-s. shall be imposed. It is also to be renumbered that the present Act requires that no one shall display a 1927 license plate until January 1927, and that in the event the 1927 license is not displayed on and after the first day of January, 1927, a penalty as provided heretofore Tor operating without a license will be inflicted. A large portion of the delay and confusion in the issuance of license plates is caused by failure on the purt of those who have during the year purchased secondhand cars to have their titles transferred. Titles must "'be transferred to the name of the present owner before the 1927 license plate can be issued. It will, therefore, be of great assistance both to the Motor Vehicle Division and to the individual if all secondhand car owners will secure transfer of theft- titles now. The Motor Vehicle Division earnestly solicits the co-opei'ation oi the poo | pie of the State in this matter, which can be mOfet effective by prompt application for license plates immediately upon receipt of the applications which are now being mailed out, and compliance with the suggestion with reference to titles. We ure just as interested in issuing license plates without delay as citizens arc in securing them, and this cooperation will directly help all concei ned. No personal checks will be accepted in payment of 11)27 license plates unless certified. If personal checks are forwarded which are?mrr?certified, " they will be returned. Your remittance for license fee should be made by certified personal checks, cashier's checks, money orders or cash. Considerable time will be saved if this requirement is adhered to strictly.. Positively no personal checks except those certified will be accepted by the Department.

WOMAN M L RDF,KB CJI1LDREN. Los Angel ten Wonun Says She Is unlit ? To lie Mother. ? Los Angeles, Oct. .17.?j&cjuue she believed she had failed in her duty, ait a mother, Mrs, Ada B. Chamberlain, wife of John M. Chamberlain, Los Angelea attorney, put to death her three children, the eldest of whom was nine years of age, and then ended her own life. The four were found dead today in a gas filled room in a house which the mother had rented last Friday, a few hours before she and her children disappeared from their home. Police, reconstructing the tragedy report that before putting her children to death the mother had treated them to a picture show. Returning to the rented house, she placed her babies in bed, gave them a sleeping powder and then turned on the gas. While the tiny lives were hieing snuffed out, the mother -went into an adjoining room and penned four notes.? She wrote that the two little girls, Edwina, nine, and Delamya, seven, passed away quietly, but moaned five times. |After finishing her writing, the mother calmly walked to her death in the gas chamber. ii one of her notes, addressed to newspaper reporters, Mrs. Chamberlain explained tlyrt she could not let her children live in a world for which she had "failed tp prepare them." "I was capable of being a good mother, -but just failed to put that duty first. Maud Adams said a girl cannot meet this world, without a definite religious^ and home training. She knew and knew well. Let us have quiet, peaceful homes, fewer and better children," the message concluded. To her husband she wrote: "Girls took sleep tablets willingly as a germicide. I put out their clothes. Please put their coat^ on with the fronts open and cremate us. You cannot be happv and dying holds no terror, for me. I simply must not let these, children live."

HILTON, Maater for Kershaw-County October 12, 1926. r-" . v.^BBpRW - |Y) v - THE LIBERTY HILL ROAD From Camden to Great FalU and Cheater Via "The Hill." Liberty HiJl S. ct Oct. 18?A report frtmt Liberty Hill last week ???d that Comzniaaioner McGowan was expected to be htfre on Thursday last to. inveatigat* the desirability of the State Highway Department taking over and improving the proposed highway between Camden and Great Falls and Chester via Liberty Hill. Chief Commissioner MeGowan and Messrs. Jones, Hamrick and Wheeler, of the State Highway Commission, came according to promise, being accompanied from Columbia by Major Richards. They seemed very much impressed with the desirability of the project-and upon return to Columbia sent Major Richards the following commendation: "Back in August 1925 a delegation from Kershaw county discussed with the State Highway Engineer and myself for investigation and for report at the December meeting, however, the commission postponed all requests for additions to the March, 1926, meeting. "At the Marelj. tneetirij^ a report was made covering an inspection of the road, but action by the Commission was postponed. "On October 7, 1926, I made a personal inspection of this road. 1 was particularly impressed with the fact that there is now no road "between State Highway No. 26 running from Camden- to Charlotte by way of Lancaster and State Highway 34 running from Camden to Winnsboro. This is one of the largest areas in the state not traversed 'by a State highway. Furthermore, a direct connection from Camden to Great Falls would link the whole Eastern part of the State by a more direct line than at present with Chester, Rock Hill, York, Union and Spartanburg. "A glance at the map will show the advantage of this connection. The distance from Camden to Great Falls by way of . the present circuituous route through Liberty FRll is approximately 32 miles.. The' distance between the same points by the nearest route following existing State highway is about 60 miles. By relocating the road proposed for addition, the distance Can be still further materially reduced. "I ^commend now that the Commission again Consider the proposition in question and add at once to the State -highway system the road from Camden to Great Falls by way of Liberty Hill?such addition being, of course, subject to the rule already adopted by the Commission of requiring legislative sanction in advance ofactual construction. I also recommend that the Department immediately place this road under State maintcnance and cooperate in every practicable and legal way with Kershaw County to have it improved." We hope that very laudable tffovement to link the east and south east sections of the State with the "upState" and shorten route, may be favorably acted upon, for we feel sure that, should this route be opened up and improved, it will develop into one of the most popuar lines of travel from the' "sandy levels" and tidewater sections of the State to the "rock-ribbed hills" of the Piedmont It runs parallel with the Wateree river and is in many places in plain view of the Power Cortfpany's "Big Lake"?22 miles long?while beyond stretches the blue haze to the distant hills in Fairfield county, which marks the water divide between Wateree and Broad rivers, from the vantage points on this road many bits of beautiful scenery may be viewed, and they furnish the first thrills for the traveler who is making his initial trip from the "level land" to the "up country," where rocks and hills?works of nature?vie with cement dams, power houses--and electric?lines?works?of man?in the wonder and admiration of the sightseer and interested traveler. Great Falls is fast developing into an important industrial center and will doubtless continue to grow and expand along the lines of industries which require plentiful and cheap power: : T Notice to Debtors and Creditors All parties indebted to the estate of Penelope Harris are hereby notified to make payment to the undersigned and all parties, if any, having claims against the said estate will present them likewise dulv attested at once.
