lisimu tit Now Apparently Assured.
Washington. July 26.?Tho war de?
partment today accepted tin- proposal
of certain porsons in Columbia to leuss
a largo trm t of land for an artillery
range near Camp Jaokson. This tram
runs along the Perelval [load to the
Leesburg Road covering a distance of
lo or LS milea and containing not
less than 1 2,500 acres.
In the opinion of the ? authorities
this will give one of the largest artil?
lery ranges in the United States. This
land Is said to be ideal for the pur?
pose, is just what the war department
has been looking for and meets all thd
requirements of the situation.
Not long ago an inspection of this
land was) made and all of it was gone
over with a view of determining
whether it was what was needed fori
for the contemplated enlargement of
Camp Jackson. After this inspection
was made it was agreed that this site
would satisfy all requirements, ami
with today's announcement that the
lease has been closed the next step
will be the erection of such additional
buildings as may be necessary.
When asked as to the extent of
these buildings it was stated that the
contract had not yet been closed but
would be either tomorrow or during
the early part of the coming week.
While no specific statement was made
in advance of the signing Of the
building contract it was said that it
will involve much Additional construc?
tion work in order to fit the range for
its purposes.
When the contract is let and the
buildings erected, Camp Jackson Will
then compare favorably with any o.
all of the largest artillery camps in th i
country,
The authorities here today seemed
well satisfied with what has already
been accomplished at Camp Jackson
and were enthusiastic regarding the
new developments taking place there.
It is the beginning of a substantial
and permanent enlargement
Governor Manning last night re?
ceived advices that the government
had decided to greatly enlarge Camp
Jackson. The enlargement practically
doubles the size of the present cam p.
The upper site has been chosen.
This means an extension to the north?
west towards Dentsville and Weddel!
Oil the Seaboard Air Lino Railroad.
Senator Benot was in Washington
yesterday and will be there today and

tion to the project.
it may not now be definitely state d
what appropriation will be allotted
the camp. The statement was made
that originally the amount to be ex?
pended would be about $5,000,000, bill
this was Increased several times and
it will not be beyond expectations U
the final amount agreed upon should
approximate $12,000,000 to $ii,ooo

To The People of America:
"America, England, France,. Now n^

We all must remember war was once
in our land.
Who was it came and gave us a kind
helping hand'.'
it was the French, Yes the French
so kind-hearted and true,
That helped US to establish the Red,
White and lilue.
NOW, France, has been tortured, to:
mented with grief,
And there are many, so many who Ion?
to see peace,
Their sons have fought bravely for at
h ast four long- y< a rS,
And still they are lighting, yes fighting
with cheers.
We that are here, are the only ones
that knows,
What this little country has suffered
from the damnable blows
Of the Germans, the Turks, the Aus
trlans too.
But now we can protect them with
the Red, White and Flue.
No never, no never, shall peace ever
come
Until Germany has been conquered by
tho bravery of our sons.
America, England, France, all now as
one.
Will tight together until we conquer
the Huns.

'?Out of His Own Mouth."
(Editorial Columbia Record, July 19,
On Juno 2j0th, 1918, at York, when
h'e made that famous "reatfirmation"
of his loyalty, Cole L. Bleaee (we
quote the Charleston American) said;
"1 have said thai at the time Un?
vote was taken on the war, with the
lights before me, I would have voted
against it, and there is no use tu be
harping on that, because I admit it."
He said, also, that he had stated his
opposition in several Bpeecbee, and
that "he had no apology to make for
any speech he had ever made."
The lighia before him, before us.
and before the world when the war
vote was taken were the same light!
we have before us now. Nothing has
changed so far as the merits of the
case are concerned. If America w. I
right on April Ith, 1917, it is right to?
day, if it was wrong on April 8th,
lit 17, ii |l wrong today.
Cob- [.. Bleaee made his ipeeehoa at
Pomaria and Filbert four months af?
ter we went Into the war. With the
lights before him then, be affirmed, as
"religiously" as he believed that there
is a '.'od In hegven that every Ameri?
can killed In the war off of American
soil would be "an unwarranted sacrl
?ice of fresh young American man?
hood," and that on the final Judgment
day Cod would charge their live,
against Wood row Wilson and tb?
members of congress who voted for
the war.
At York, on June 20th, 1911, en?
deavoring to tone down a part of his
Filbert speech as originally printed in
the Yorkvdle ESnqulrer, he said:
"I, at Filbert, 'was repeating my
Pomaria speech In which j had said
hat 1 believed that President Wilson
nul the members of congress who vot?
ed for this war would be held re-l
iponsible for every American life loel
in It, and if my soul is to be lost I did
DOl care what sort of an America the..
Iiad after I was dead and gone, and
licit her does your boj ."
It was on this occasion, at York,
an aune 20th, I9t8, bear in mind,
that c0ie l. Blease said that he had
no apologies to malic for any speech
he had ever made. And on this oc?
casion he did not hesitate to reiteral
the sentiments quoted above from the'
Charleston American.
He did not withdraw them: he did
not qualify them: he did not repudiate
them. He repeated them, with a
trivial amendment, and said he had
no apology to make for them.
Such were his BCntllllCUtS at York
a month ago.
Since then this man has been speak
Ing at his own meetings, tearing pas?
sions to tatters, outdoing Termagant,
outherodlng Herod, in the wordiness
oi his patriotism. According to his es?
timation at this time there la no more
ardent patriot on American soil.
As tin y say in the advertisement:
"There Is u reason."
A i Pomaria, in July, 1917, Bleaee
said:
??! um not a candidate for any of
ticc."
At Filbert. In August, 1917, he said.
'*! want to make il clear that I am
not here as a candidate or as a
spokesman for tin* Reform party, but
as Colcman Livingston BleUKC, a Ircc
iMiril \tncrican citi/.cn."
Jle wanted it Understood on ?hos<
occasions, to give emphasis to his de
nunciations ot 'he war and of those
In hieb places, that he had no axe to
grind; that he was sincere; that h<
was nol trying to get votes; thai b<
was. as be said, "speaking the truth a
I see it -speaking for my felloe man
and for what I believe tg be the will
of my Cod."
He is seeking office now, und lw If :<

I idled Stativs senate II ?W, and ho
