WOOJAVARD S. STOKES, Administrator. Camden, S. C? January 1 Oth, 11>2'J. United States Chiefs Are Always Watched At the moment the night of Tuesday, November b, that the election return* of the country assured him that he was lifted from the comparative obscurity of private citizenship to the exalted prominence of national leadership, Herbert Hoover began to imprisonment which he knows must last throughout the time hif is the country's chief executive. He must yield his right to privacy and bow to the provision that entails the watching of his every movement and the guarding of his person at all times, even during the silent hours of the night when hd7 slumbers in his bed. Not even a stroll upon the streets of Washington may witness him unaccompanied, through it be broad daylight. His first taste of imprisonment came to the president-elect on his South American tour. He learned on that journey that for the next four years, at least, he will be watched no less than the prisoner serving the longest term in any penitentiary in the land?though not for the same purpose. % The vigilance of the government in iis protection of its chief eveeutive is unwavering, and the United Statei, Secret Service, to which is entrusted the actual surveillance, never is lux for one moment in the duty assigned it. Protection of the president is one of its chief responsibilities. In every Treasury Department appropriation act which covers the secret service appears this clause: "To protect the person of the president and the members of his immediate family and of the person chosen to be the president of the United States." The secret service does not even wait for the newly-elected president to take office, hut. the moment that the will of the people has determined who shall occupy the White House The secret ser" vice goes on the job. The same protection will apply to young Allan Hoover and to Herbert Hoover, Jr., and the Hoover grandchildren. Mrs. Hoover, it goes without saying, also comes within the purview of this act. The moment that Mr. Hoover's election was assured, William H. Moran. chief of the secret service, went himself to Pala Alto, Calif., and there, met by a detail of secret service agents from 8a n Francisco, threw about the president-elect and bis family a protective cordon which will last through his term of ofAce. Beside Mr. Morun, there are others who will be as close to Mr. Hoover as his shadow. They are Col. K. W. Starling, six feet three inches tall ip his stocking feet, physically powerful, and a veteran in the service, Richard Jervis, chief of the White House detail yf nine men; Walter Ferguson, another, powerful agent and an expert with the pistol; John J. Fitzgerald, the smallest man on the detail, wiry and fast on his feet and as quick as a cat in his bodily movements, and others. Jervis, the head of the White House detail, has been on duty there since the administration of President Taft. He is one of the most photographed men in the world, because sticking to the side of the president like glue, he always rides on the front seat of the automobile when the chief executive goes riding and is naturally caught by the camera. It is Fitzgerald who is seen with the 1'resident walking briskly throug.u the streets of Washington or plunging through the bypaths of the park-. Another secret service man, Grady Boatright, fell heir to the choicest bit of detail of the entire staff. He accompanied President-elect Hoover on his S<?iith American trip?an envious detail from more J.han one point of view. Aii tin- members of this ever-present l>..--:\guard are picked men, highly intelligent, line appearing, and of pleasing personalities. They are never un.formed. , Their duties call for ineoopieuousnesB, and they are inconapieuous until something happens, or threatens tp happen, to endanger the life of the president. They know a little bit about everything. At the same time, Mr. Hoover is learning the difference between a free born private American citizen and one called to lead the nation fo: the next four years?all through their presence in front of him, in back o!* him, and on both sides of him. Secret service men have guarded the president for many years, al though it was not until after the assassination of President McKinly that protection of the president became one of the responsibilities of the secret _service? President Lincoln had a bodyguard in William Pinkerton, a private detective. No president had the value and the self-sacrifice nf the secret service more firmly impressed upon his mind than President Roosevelt. One member of the organization gave his life to protect him in a collision between a loaded carriage and an electric car at North Adams, Mass., in lPOd. ^ et R >o- velt found keen enjoyment in tr\.:ig to give his guards the slip. President-elect Hoover may go to church, to the theater, on an automobile ride, to a funeral service, on a stroll for exercise, or to bed, or to a ball game, or he may receive callers. He will watch what is taking place. The secret service men will do two other things. They will watch the crowds and watch Mr. Hoover. A P rench professor of medicine, has announced the discovery and suei ess, ui use of a serum containing citrates which are refreshing to the blood and thus eliminating the necessity for blood transfusions.

Agency ,v_ J Safety, silence and simplicity are features of the new Ford, six-brake system ONE of the first tilings you Mill notice when you drive the new Ford in the quirk, effective, silent action of its six-brake system. This system gives you the highest degree of safety and reliability because the fourwheel scrx ice brakes and the separate emergency or parking brakes are all of tin* mechanical, internal expanding ty j?e, with braking surfaces fully enclosed for protection against mud, water, sand, etc. The many advantages of this type of braking system have long been recognized. Tlify are brought to you in the new Ford through a series of mechanical improvements embodying much that is new in design nnd manufacture. A particularly unique feature is the simple way by which a special drum has been constructed to permit the use of two sets of internal brakes on the rear wheels. A further improvement in braking performance is effected by the self-centering feature of the fourwheel brakes ? an exclusive Ford development. Through this construction, the etrffee surface oi the shoe- is brought in steady, uniform contact with the drum the instant you press your foot on the brake pedal. This prevents screeching and howling and makes the Ford brakes unusually silent in operation. Another feature of the l-'ord brakes is the eusQ ot adjustment. )j The fou''-wheel brakes are adjusted by turning a screw conveniently located on the outside of each brake plate. This screw ia so notched that all four brakes can be set alike simply by listening to the "clicks." The emergency or parking brakes on the new Fort! require little attention. However, should they need adjustment at any time, consult your Ford dealer for prompt, courteous, and economical service. He works under close factory super* vision and he has been specially trained and equipped to help you get the greatest possible use from your car over the longest pe rlod of time at a minimum of trouble and expense.
