New tad Prelected Iron Winston, N.
C., to Georgetown.
The Pee Dee corps of the Pee Dee
Valley railroad is still surveying in
this eouoty. The chief engineer is C
O Currier and the assistant engineers
are F B Hendrix and S B Scott The
rodmen are N B Temple and A J
Dates,-and several negroes are with
the party.
The survey crossed the creek just
north of Oak Ridge cemetery, and
came down the eastern line of the
McCail cemetery had along the line
of the Weather ly lands, crossing
Fayotteville avenue between J W
Tyson's and R L Kirk wood's, and
the Coast Line tracks back ofDr
Jordan's. From there the survey
goes southeastward, in the direction
of Medlin Springs and Latta. If continued
in the same direction it will
go between MeDaniel'a mill and the
Five-Forks, and cross the Latta
branch of the Coast Line between
Dunbar and Biugnam.
North of here the line crosse3
Naked creek just below Bullard's
mill and comes down through the
Moore section.
Another line ha3 been surveyed by
Lester and Tatum and will go near
B E Moore's store. The road will
probably be built where it is easiest
to get the right of way, as there
would be very little difference in the
distance of these two routes from
Bockingham to Marion.
John Ickles, the president of the
company, has been here for several
days inspecting the various possible
routes and consulting with the property
owners and business men. He
has also gone to Marion to look over
the prospects. He says the road is
going to be built from Winston to
some point on the coast, probably
Georgetown. It may not come by
Bennettaville, but this is the logical
route if it is given sufficient encouragement
here.
It is said that nearly everybody in
the country, over whose lands the
q survey passes, has offered to give free
fright of way. It passes for three or
>?our utiles through the rich lands of
the Moor# section, and they have all
- offered free right of way.
. Before tbe survey was made into
: Bennettsville, the following citizens <
j, gotntogether and showed Mr Ickles i
- over the prospective routes in East j
Beooettsville, and helped to select i
wh?t seemed to be the beat route. 11

Mr Ickles says it is probable that
fthe first section of the road to be
built will be from Rockingham
southward, and that if the road
comes to Bennettsville, trains will
picfcaby be running over it from here
to Rockingham within less than a
year. The people of Rockingham
are very anxious to get connection
with some other road than the Seabeard,
and are very enthusiastic
: about the prospects for the Pee Dee
Valley.

DEATH OF HON. V. S- CAMLIN
i ??
| A Confederate Veteran, a Mason Two |
Score Years, and an Ex-Legislator.
Harpers, May 31:?We are called
! upon to enter on our Masouic records 1
! the death of one of our oldest mem 1
bers, both in years and in member- *
[ bership, viz, that of brother, W S 1
[Camlin, Sr, who departed this life c
Tuesday, May 25, 1909, at 3 o'clock (
p m. Harpers lodge, No 225. bow our 1
heads in sorrow bat with submis- '
sion to the will of the Supreme Ar- (
chitect of the universe, this ae- 1
ceased brother was born on Black
river, near what is now called Central
church, January 26, 1824, aud
died at the advanced age of 85 years
and 4 months. He was educated in
the couuty schools and studied law
in his young days, but never practiced
that profession,
As a Confederate soldier he fought
for four years tor Southern inde- a
pendence in General M C Butler's j
brigade, who has preceded him to ^
the soldier's place of rest but a few c
days. This honored Confederate sol- r
dier had spoken several times of c
Gen M C Butler in the presence of
the wiiter, mentioning their hardships,
and shed tears freely. This
deceased Confederate soldier saw
some of the hottest battles of the
Confederate wai. Oar people know 1
the record that Gen Butler's army 1
made. r
After the late war the deceased I
served as trial justice for 1G years, a
first being appointed under the Re- *
publican administration, while he 1
was a true and'tried Democrat. Also 1
in the trying days of '76 the subject c
of this sketch was credited with other J
good Democrats with winning the \
State of South Carolina from car- J
petbag misrule.
After the redemption of our State
the deceased was twice elected to the ^
State Legislature and for years after ^
took an active part in county poli- .
tics. During the past ten years of
his life he retired from both business c
and politics.
He was a consistent member of thd
Methodist church and was the found* *
er of Harmony Methodist church.
For the last three years of his life he
was au invalid from a stroke of paralysis,which
he he suffered pa April
1.1906, and from which he never
recovered. For several months before
his death he confessed his full faith
in the living God and said' he was
piepared to meet death in peace. b
Mr Camlin leaves four sons and Jj
)ne daughter, viz: W R Camlin, W
8 Camlin, Jr, G W Camlin, W 0 f
Camlin and Mrs S S Haselden, also ei
his fourth wife survives him. All h
his children are by the first three J
marriages.
The funeral services were conduct- y
ed by Rev W 0 Wilson at Harmony C
church. After the services the body b
was taken charge of by the Masons |
and buried according to its impressive
ceremony. The deceased had been
a member of the order for over forty D
years. While we feel that a link of
this fraternal chain has been broken, f
we can enly say, "Brother, we bid (
thee a last, a long farewell. Thou art .
at rest from labor. May yoa rest in j
peace." I

URTEK APPEALED IR IBTRE. I
And the Judge Cane Back at Him?A
Georgia Episode.
In the furrow of a Georgia cottonield
not long ago a mule lay down
ind died.It was a climax of reproach
igainst and urging to further work
with the plough. Circumstances iniuced
a jury to find the negro driver
)f the mule guilty of cruelty. Wherelpon
the prisoner's counsel was so
vrouerht ud as to his feelings that he
soughed his appeal from judgment
n the following lines:
No matter how liot is the bottom
And the mule is beset with flies,
Let the negro at work in the cotton
Never slap with the lines if he's
wise.
Though the lines may be tight on the
nigger
And the contract enslaves, he's a
fool
If he slaps and then thinks he's bigger
In the eyes of the law than the mule.
It was a notable and may become
, classical effort. But the bench/'
ligher up was not to be outdone byhe
practitioner below. From the
:ourt of appeals came the following
esponse, along with an affirmation I
iiidormpnt
" j"-r>
The law holds the driver far bigger
Than a conscienceless mule to be.
Yet the law should avenge with all
vigor
All drivers' acts of wanton cruelty.
The verse of the judge's limps in
ts last line, possibly with emotion,
But justice and a humane sentiment
ise superior to the the technique of
x>esy. The law reports of Georgia
ire enriched as to their literary color
>y the details of this epis^e of the
nule, the plough and driver,
knd a fresh distinction ^s relorded
for a common wea . /ready

The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They;
also overcome that nervous irritation
which prevents sleep because
they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invaluable.
When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which so frequently prostrates.
Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
Mh'sfaction. why

not you? They do not derange

Why not try them? Get a package
from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.
