Let's Grasp Our Opportunity,
Perhaps the most important question
that has presented itself to tlie
people of Kingstree and the southeaster*
section of Williamsburg countjr
in manj years is that involving
the route of the proposed new public
highway between Charleston and
Columbia. The proposition has enthused
the business men of Charlestorn,
haa created a lively interest
among the citizens of Berkeley county
and should arouse th* people of
* ^ ,
Williamsburg, Clarendon, Florence
and Georgetown, inasmuch as we
are assured of the substantial cooperation
of Charleston and Berkeley
counties in the ultimate developmeni
of the project.
That part of the proposed plan
which should concern us most is
the extension of this road across
the San tee river at or near Murray's
ferry by means of an iron draw
bridge. Several routes are open to
t '*
the project, but this is the most
feasible one, and the only one that
would really be of great benefit to
us. It is also the one which would
meet the most favorable co-operation
of a majority of our neighl>ors on
the south side of the Santee because
it would put tliehi in closer and
more direct touch with one of the
richest sections of the State, and it
would give us an almost direct highway
route to the coastal metropolis.
T^he main thing now to be con idered
towards getting a bridge
across the Santee river is the raising
of sufficient money to meet the cost
of its construction. It is estimated
roughly that a good modern iron
bridge across the river, with permanent
approaches through the swamp,
can be built for less than $40,000.
.Counties on the south side of the
river that wlil be affected by the
route have expressed theii willingness
to contribute their share. What
about the counties on the north side
of the river? Williamsburg, we are
satisfied, will do her part. An automobile
road via Kingstree to
Charleston and the sea coast would
be of equally as much value to
Clarendon, Florence and Darlington
? i . i . ii il 1. _
as it wouiu to us, but wouia tney ue
willing to render finanical assistance
in bringing this proposed plan to an
actual reality?
Theee counties already have fairly
good roads. Williamsburg has
the best system of roads it has had
in years, and one of these, passing
Hninpmflnn
UUUUgll liiv v
leads up to Murray s ferry, the most
practicable point for bridging the
Santee. Let's gaasp the opportunity.
Our National Honor.
This is a time when every citizen j
i of the United Suites, either native!
or foreign born, should rally to the:
fine nf hi? eonnt.rv Wh#?fVw?r it }? ?'
j
by the bearing of iirms or by the i
;expression of loyalty in sentiment!
land action, our country should have!
! the undivided support of every per-,
' son. It is not the time for haggling
or criticism or for the indulgence in <
1 ? . '
j political juggling of the interests of:
i j
I the people.
We want unity of purpose and of;
action by a united people and for a i
united people and nothing else. ,
The Mexican leaders appear determined
to force us to a conflict of j
arms, and if it niu?t come it is the J
duty of every citizen to l>e a citizen1
in fact as well as in name. Half- j
hearted loyalty is not to be consid- 1
ered.
\\ nen trie national nonor ana
protection of the lives and property
right J of our people are in jeopardy
political considerations and party
strife should be relegated to the rear j
leaving in its wake a nation welded
together by the chains of an unquenchable
fire of patriotism.
Our national honor is in the balance
today. It must be upheld at
any cost and under all circumstanc'
es and conditions.
When a Lad Meets a Maid.
Old heads who forget that they
were once young find much amusement
in watching a young lad when
he meets a maid on the street. We
stood on a corner the other day and
watched an eminent citizen of mature
years as he in turn gazed upon
bashful and blushing youth.
No, we won't tell you of the amusing
dignity and decorum of the
lad and the maid, for we have been
guilty of the same antics away back
in days that will never come again.
But it was amusing to our eminent
citizen and we think he was quite
as amusing to us.
But the next time you are on the
street and a lad and a maid meet
face to face, and you suspect that
there is a tender feeling l>etween
them, just remember the golden
days of your own youth, and see
not those things that you are supposed
not to see.
A Fellow and His Lodge.
Some people are lodge crazy and
join everything in sight. Thej are
called "joiners". Others are pessimistic
and can see no good in any
lodge.
But there is much good to he derived
from membership in any of
the legitimate lodges that flourish
everywhere, provided the lodge habit
is not carried to excess.
It creates a spirit of comradeship
among the members that is seldom
found elsewhere. If a member is
in distress or difficulty, bis lodge
promptly comes to his relief and
tides him over the rough places and
into smoother waters. If he is sick
they cheer him with their presence
and watch at his bedside and see
that his family does not suffer dur--??
Lin IrvAAnnAUir An/1 In m o nu
lllg 1119 illl/OfcSUVltJ III AAJltWJ
other way3 they are a distinct benefit
one to another.
The lodge is the symbol of the
brotherhood of man, and its tenets
are founded upon the Bible and advocate
the elevation of the human
race.
The fellow who identifies himself
with some good lodge and lives up
' *11 1? _ l.
lo its teacnings win ue a oen-er man
and citizen for the few hours he devotes
to its meetings. We hate to
see a good lodge go to pieces

Eighty-three and one-half per
cent of the transportation of our
country it still done by our horses.
The statement is true that but for
our horse a we should soon starve to
death. Vet in road building
throughout the country it is the automobile
and not the horse that ia
receiving the greatest consideration.
Head the account of a meeting of
the directors of the Chaml>er of Commerce
held at Charleston Monday
for the consideration of the new
route from that city to Columbia. It 1
is of vital interest to Williamsburg
citizens,and we hope each and every .
one of them will start out on a cam- ^
paign that will know no letting up j
until those inestimably rich sections 1
of Berkeley and Williamsburg are
linked together by a public bridge 1
across the Santeeat Murray'* ferry.
LAKE CITY CHRONICLES.

Lake City .July 4:?Judge and Mra
S W G Shipp and children came down
from Florence Saturday and remain- ,
ed until Sunday. The Judge has a
new automobile. While waiting for
Mrs Shipp and the children to come
out just before leaving home, he got
into the car, pushed a button or so
and pressed a lever, and went spinning
up the street with the license
number in front. He felt around for
something to change the direction of
progress and hit upon the gasoline
throttle,whereuponhesimplywhizzed ,
back. Finally after kicking among .
the hardware in the foot some time,
he got straightened out and came on
?4wa?iI\Ia
WlinuUL luiiuei uuuuic uum, ana |
crossing Coward's bridge, he took
the wrong road and found himself
at that fresh Hope above Coward.
Mrs Shipp and the children got out,
so the Judge would have nobody in
the way and nothing to distract his
attention in turning around, as he
needed clear vision front and rear,
plenty of space and all the room to
pinch and kick those things in front
of him and under his feet. The turn
was easy and fine, and the broncho
had found his master.
"Judge" H P Baldwin went up to
Whiteville, N C, the home of his
boyhood and young manhood days,
the early part of the week and spent
a few days with relatives and old
friends.
Messrs J A Green, L A Winston ^

Messrs Green and Winston are, it is r
rumored, thinking of buying proper- ^
ty at the beach for permanent sum- v
mer homes. If this rurnor be true, '
then uon't faint if you next hear that c
"Judge" Green is wildly "dissipat- t
ing in a Ford. j

The tobacco market will not open 1
fully this year until the first of Au- C
gust, which is about a week later ?
than usual. This is because the crop c
is much later than it has been for

Sditor County Record:?
Please allow me a few lines of
four valuable space to make an ap)eal
to the young men of Williams)urg
county.
As we all know, the trouble be;ween
our government and Mexico
uill anoripr nr Infrpr pnmp tn ft hpfld.
t may be postponed for a time, but
ve must be prepared. The United
states has between two hundred and
;hree hundred thousand troop3 either
on or on their way to the border.
)f that number about half are Natonal
Guardsmen. This State has
'urnished her quota, but how many
ias Williamsburg furnished? This
rood old county is not represented
sy a single company.
If serious consequences arise the
^resident will undoubtedly call for
volunteers. There are a number of
Tien ivi this county who will voluneer
at that time. Every man has a
iuty he owes to his country and that
luty must be met.
Now, I have been authorized by
;he government to raise a company
)f volunteers for service when the
President shall call for them. I delire
especially Citadel and Clemson
nen, but anyone wishing to join.be;ween
the ages of 18 and 35 and unnarried,
will be cheerfully received.
This movement is State-wide and
' well know Williamsburg is not gong
to be behind the rest. I desire
;wo experienced men for Lieutenints,
Citadel of Clemson men preferred.
All applications for membership
n this company must be addressed
;o Henry, S C, Williamsburg county.
Let'3 everybody get together and
ihow them what Williamsburg can

A
Sketch ol Valued Manager of the
Slegllng Music House.
In this paper appears an attractive
quarter-page advertisement of
;he Siegling Music House of Charles,on
and Florence. This is the oldest
nusic house in the South and we beieve
one of the most reliable. Its
epresentatives, like its owners, are
ill men of ability and reliability. If
;hey were otherwise the Sieving
Music House would not retain them
n its employ.
SAMUEL D CARR.
The representative of this well
innum nnH nnnnlar firrr. in this Colin
y is Mr Samuel D Carr.who has the
Management of the Florence branch,
le is a brother of Mr W H Carr,
nanager of the Kingstree Hardware
lo, and came to Kingstree in the
vinter of 1913 from Minneapolis,
dinn, where he was connected with
>ne of the leading music houses of
hat city, hut the death of his wife
)rought him South and to Kingstree
>n a visit to his brother, who was
inxious for him to remain in the
South. While thus here,the Siegling
flusic House, old patrons of The
bounty Record, advertised in its
'want" column for an experienced
epresentative in this territory. Mr
Parr's attention was called to the ad
ind he went to Charleston to see Mr
siegliog. He secured the position
ind has made good. No more sub
itantial evidence of this could be offered
than the mere fact that about
,wo years ago the Siegling Music
Souse opened a branch establishnent
in Florence and placed MrCarr
n charge of it. His 35 years expedience
in the piano business makes
lis knowledge of this particular initrument
worth the consideration of
respective purchasers.
