"Tiger of France"
Claimed by Death
Paris, Nov, 24. -The stout heart
of Georges Clemenceau, "Tiger of
France, ceased beating at 2:16 this
morning. The wartime premier was
88 years of age ?
The sharp tongue of the grand old
man of, France was silenced forever,
Hi* predominating quality as author,
journalist and statesman always had
b^en the display of fighting spirit
and he died as he had lived??fighting
until his last breath.
. 'His grandson, Dr. Jacquemaire,
who had watched in the death chamber
during the last hours with other
mem bars of the family, stepped from
the little house in Hue Franklin into
the courtyard and announced to the
waiting reporters at 2:30 a. m.,
"Grandfather has just died."
Madame Jacquemaire, daughter of
Clemenceau, his son, Michel, and his
very close friend, Dr. Laubry, were
present when the "father of victory"
met death at Inst in the struggle
which he had waged for several days
with indomitable courage despite terrifto
pain from uremib.
The last jllness^J^gan on Thursday.
It found him bar^^ recovered froiYT
a serious heart attack last month
which was followed by the strain of
Armistice day. Doctors gave injec\
tions to bolster up the heart against
terriffic straip placed on it and administered
J morphine to relieve the
pain. The uremic poisoning spread
gradually through his system and the
physicians early abandoned all hope
of saving the life of their patient.
He was unconscious much of the time.
The last wards the Tiger pronounced,
in the final lucid spell at 10:30
p. m., last night, was an expression
of satisfaction. "My work is finished/
..he told Dr. Laubry. it was understood
that he referred to the book
which he undertook to write after
the death of Marshal Foch ipyeply
to one edited by Raymond Recouly
which purported to have been inspired
by the late marshal. Correction
of the first draft of proofs was completed
only last week.
Made a Director
At a meeting of the, directors of
the First National Bank on last Tuesday
Mr.. Warren H. Harris was elected
as a director of that banking institution.
Mr. Harris since moving
his residence here from Pittsburgh
has been connected with the business
interests of Camden, and is popular
with our people.

Main Highway Gaps
to Get First Paving
Expressing belief that all gaps in
through highways will be piived in
South Carolina by the end of 1930,
'Charles H. MooreAeld, state highway
engineer, Tuesday outlined generally
to the Columbia Ktwanla club the
program cohteniplated under the
165,000,000 bond issue, $10,000,000 of
which will be sohhjshortly, says the*
olumbia State oi Wednesday.
Using Columbia as an example, he
took the through highways out of the
capital city and cited certain unpaved?Jgts
which keep the highways
xtylh being completely paved. Ho
said that these links if the*present
plans materialize and similar connections
in which other cities of the
state are primarily interested should
be completed by the end of the coming
year.He sand It was contemplated
also ?9 replace, as rapidly as
possible antiquated wooden bridges.
By buildjypg approximately 20 miles
between Orangeburg and the Dorchester
county line, route No. 2 will
be paved all the way to Charleston.
About the same distance will fill in
the. gap between Sumter and Flo?y
euoe, about 45 miles will complete
highway No. 1 from Bethune to the
North Carolina line, about 22 miles
will fill in the gap from Kershaw to
Lancaster, this completing that highway
to the North Carolina line,
about 30 miles will take care of highway
No. 21 across Fairfield county
and provide a continuous pavement
to Charlotte by way of Chester and
Rock Hill, and not more than 40
miles will be required to fill in tho
gap from the end of the present
pavement on the Monticello road at
the Fairfield county line to get a
connection through ' to Union and
Spartanburg The mileage included
in all these gaps adds up to 177
miles, only $bout 0 per cent of the
.total .Additional paved mileage contemplated.
There are other important
connections in which Columbia
is interested, of course, such as direct
paved roads from here to Savannah,
from here to Klngstree and
Georgetown, from here to . Edgefield
and McQgrmick, all of which, and
many others, are included in the program.
Safety First Rule to
Be Taught Children
Mayor J. A. Raffield, of Sumt<?r..
has issued a proclamation, which^it
might be well for all towns and cities
to take note of. The proclamation
follows:
\\ hercas, there are an increasing
nunHte?_af,. street and highway acci^n^^Wulting
in nn appalling toll
of l.To and great ? property damage,
and,
"Whereas, surveys show that such
accidents'arc caused largely by care^
lessness, ignorance, negligence and
thoughtlessness and are therefore
preventable, and
Whereas, by education it has been
shown that the number of accidents
ean be very much reduced and with
this in view our schools have gone
into the matter and organized a patrol
c#T school Soys with the assistance
and cooperation of the Motor
Club will educate the school children
along safety lines.
?"Believing such a movement- to
merit the endorsement of our people
I call upon them to cooperatOvin every
way possible looking toward the
reduction of accidents and the making
of our streets and highways more
safe for our children." ' '

Scout Knowledge
Saves Two Lives
Two Greenville Hoy Scouts' knowledge

month for u first-class scout, is responsible
for saving the ljve64of two
lo< kI persons injured in an automo*'
bile accident Sunday, October 22, according
to Sunday's Greenville News.
Although both injured prcgons had
stopped breathing when' the scouts
arrived, immediate rescuscitutlon was
begun, to which tiiey owe the saving
9f ,their lives.
1 he ,scouts are William Ashcmorc
and King Thackston, both aged 18,
and now freshmen at Clemson college.
They have always tuken nn active interest
in scouting ever since their
tenderfoot days, ami it wus this interest
which later led to their saving
the lives of little Mary Elizabeth
Koid, and her father, John W. Reid,
p-Wnen the car in tyhich Mr.< Reid
his family and several friends were
driving was knocked from the road .
near Union bleachery by another uutomobile,
Mr. Reid and his young
daughter o were thrown unconscious
into a creek near the road, both of
them being under water.
Young Ashmove and Thackston arrived
on the scene a few moments
later. Realizing that speed was of
the greatest ' Necessity, they pulled
the - two from the water and iiume- '
diately : applied artificial respiration.
Although both victims had stopped
breathing several minutes previously,
the work of the scouts wus eflfec;
tive, and both had regained their
breathbefore a physician arrived.
Whatever the gratitude of the family
of the two may he, the Scouts regard
the incident as merely an opportunity
for the daily "good deed,"
and feel that the institution of scouting
and not themselves, is due the
praiser * '
Ashemore became a scout in December,
1923, being awarded the Eagle
badge, the highest honor in scouting,
on December, 1927. Thackston
was admitted as a tenderfoot in 1924,
winning the Eagle award in 1926.
With the attainment of the highest
honor in the institution neither youth
has for a moment become less enthusiastic
over scouting, and though
now at school, plan to take an active
part in the summer cainp program
next year. ? - ? ?
