|no toll bridge over the route to Coimbia.
The sign reads as follows:
"To Columbia and Points South go

Has Passed Away
Charles A. David, one of the city's
most widely known and interesting
citizens, died Sunday afternoon, at
the residt ice of his son, Louis S.

weeks of illness.
Mr. David was born in Cheraw,
February 13th, 1853 ,a son of the late
Joseph A. and Rebecca Gilbert David,
native South Carolinians, who located
in this city when their son was a
child. In his inimitable manner, he
prepared reminiscences of the city's
growth and development, in which
are preserved valuable historical
facts. Mr. David achieved national
recognition, first as a cartoonist, and
then as a writer.
Mr. David was the author of the

national distribution, as well as various
articles on Nature Study, which
appeared in a magazine of national
importance and caught the interest of
thousands of readers.

James Episcopal Church, where he
took an active part in the work until
failing health forced him to retire.
His wife, Mrs. Eva Lester David
preceded him ih death 14 years to the
day.

Retires After 30
Years Of Service
C. J. Saur* of (Kb (j;y retire*
from active wrvW as ? mail earner!
Qn October t after thirty years of;
service ,as ke will be retired or a
pension He has practkally rvured.
now as he is eajormg a vacation axd j
will not return to duty,
Mr. Sistare carried Route 1 out of
Riverside for ,29 years and for the
year has carried Route 6 out ofj
Lancaster as the Riverside route aas
consolidated with Lancaster Route L
Beginning his service for Uncle
Sam back in ltHU Mr. SisiaretVover.
Cvi his route wxh? a horse and bu^jgy j
in summer and on horseback in the
winter time. He says that muctk of'
fihe time in winter he. had to dismount
and lead his horse as e? -he !
roads were very muddy with ceep I
holes in places. Nevertheless in ail
the thirty years Mr. Sistare went ov- i
er his route missing only one day's j
delivery in that time. On one occasion
in the winter of 1906 there was!
j so much sleet and ice on the ground!
that the mail could not be delivered. 1
In those days there were few roads
in the country and less Ridges. He'
says at times he would have to go j
three or four miles out of his way if
a creek Had"risen.
Starting out in the morning ke
would leave Riverside and make his
rounds in about ten hours. ' Sometimes.
he says, that when he returned
at night the postmaster had gone
to bed and the mail that he picked
up would be taken to his home ar.d
placed in the post office the next
morning.
After using a horse for a number
of years on his route he purchased
a motorcycle and delivered the mail
in that manner for a while. A model
T Ford was next and this was more
convenient but he says that even
then the roads were so bad that he
got stuck on occasions ar.d that
many a time he has gor.e over the
route in his Model T when other cars
r.ad to be puLed out with four mules.
Mr. Sistare used one horse for
eleven years on the Riverside route
ana he says this ar.imai was still in
good condition when he sold it.
Mr. Sistare will continue to live in
Lancaster and wiL oversee the operations
of his farm at Riverside.
Mr. Sistare is tne oldest man in
point of sbrvice of the postal emplovees
in I-ancaster. E. L. Hinsor. is
second in point of service as he has
been carrying the mail for 28 1-2
years. Mr. Will Pardue was the oldest
in point of service at :he time of
his death which occurred las; year.
He would have retired in May of this
year had he lived.?Lancaster News.

METHODISTS LN THE SOUTH
Historian of That Church Tells Some
Interesting Details of It.
In The Southern Christian Advocate,
Rev. Albert D. Betts, of St.
George, South Carolina, narrates the
beginnings of Methodism in America,
150 years ago, tells of the division
w-hich formed the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, in 1845, and in
the end gives facts about the two
main branches of the church in this
country, and adds:
There are several branches of
American Methodism, and we note
the principal ones: A. M. E. Church
(1816), A. M. E. Zion Church (1819),
Methodist Protestant Church (1830)
Wesieyan Church fl843), Free Methodist
(1860), and Colored M. E.
Church (1870).
The division left the M. E. church
with 760,000 members and the M. E.
Church, South, with 495,000 members.
The former now ha? 4,500,000
members and the latter 2,750,000.
The other branches no* total 2,000,000
more. Counting mission fields
American Method Is now total about
10,000,000 members, besides twice as
many adherents.
In 1846 the first General Conference
of the M. E. Church, South, met
in Petersburg, Va. William Capers,
of South Carolina, and Robert Paine
were chosen bishops. The China Mission
was begun in 1848 with Dr.
Charles Taylor and Rev. Benjamin
Jenkins of "South Carolina as the
first missionaries.
Attorney General Cumminga is

C?ut of a clear sky, then, this man
was struck by the most despicable
of all crimes?the one crime that can
be common only when society is helpless
in the face of lawlessness.
The crime was committed and it
went unpunished. The best-loved
man in the nation had found that,
this was cot a safe country iu which
to rea- a child. Our grief and anger
were impotent. The thing could not
have happened in England, or.France,
or Germany; it was typically terribly
j American.
Now. at last, comes retribution; and
j the fact is of tremendous importance,,
aside from the way it satisfies our
desire ts>'a#<e a foul wrong avenged.
It shoV^s that we ha\e, after all, <
the kind of social organizations w hich ,
can do the hardest kind of protective ,
work?getting on a cold trail, fol-1
lowing a hundred worthless leads,
keeping eternally vigilant, never forgetting
or going to sleep, striking
: Snailv ar.d effectively after a lapse
of years.
In other words, we are not quite
as disorganized as we were a fewyears
ago. The Lindbergh case was
our national low-water mark. Since
then we have somehow managed to
lake a brace. We are not, any longer.

Maybe you will get that same
j old dollar back again j
HI
The dollar that you spend for printing in Camden, Mr. r
Business Man. stays right here. It goes to work for
your neighbors and customers, and the chances are it
will soon be back in its old place in your till, ready to
help you buy the next lot of printing you need. (
But the dollar you send out of Camden has, very like- . 0
ly, kissed you goodbye forever. It is not like the prodigal
son . . . for it will never work for you again.
The Camden Chronicle employs quite a number of
people, and they spend most of their money here. The
dollar you spend with us for printing helps us to keep
those people here. If we couldn't pay them they'd soon
move away, and you would have fewer customers. A
It will pay you to remember this the next time you feel
inclined to give an order for printing to an out-of-town
concern because you think you can save a little money.
