S. Army Ti P May Come to ( I Perhaps Chesterfield County was I ' never go stirred in its history as at (' present, and good reason. The Uni- (' ted States government, in looking ; J for a suitable site for u big permanent militury training camp, has fix- . ed its eye upon Chesterfield county 11 as n very desirable spot. If this site 1 should be selected, 150,000 acres J right in the middle of the county will be required, a territory about 12 by ) 15 miles. There are several reasons why this ^ spot is attractive for this purpose. It is healthful, well-drained, wellsupplied with good water and sparely ( settled. Heretofore people have won- s dered what the King Sand Hills were | good for, and the government mny ' answer the question by saying it is Rood for our soldiers to train on and ( prepare to defend our homes. c One of the deciding factors with * the government officials will be the ' number of families that will be com- N pelled to move should the camp come ? . here. It is estimated that there are 1 ' in this tract of 150,000 acres, be- * tween 70D and 800 families. It will * not be known how this compares with ' other territory under investigation .c until Sept 30th. j Options have been submitted to x every landowner in this territory by ^ a committee of citizens who thus gave c their time with becoming patriotism * t to the government. The option asks for a lease price and a sale price for t a the land in question. s It taken, the government purposes \ f . SNOW HILL . 1 I We are sorry to report Mrs. W. J. Streeter quite sick.

The prospects are good for a successful year, by reason of the increased faculty, additional class rooms and the greatest interest on the part of the patrons that has ever been shown in this town. Short talks were made on the school work by Rev. John Knox Hair, Supcrintende'nt Coker, Rev. J. L. Tyler, W. P. Odom and Superintendent of Edu- : cation, J. Arthur Knight. All the speakers stressed the need of co-operation between patrons, teachers and , pupils. C. L. Ilunley, esq., of the County Council of Defense, took this opportunity. unon invitation it. I.rln? , ? ~? " 1 the pupils, teachers and patrons a stirring appeal for co-operation with the National Council of Defense in j the great work which they are en- ( gaged in. , The most striking address on school j work was that of Hon. W. P. Odom, , chairman of the board of trustees, , which address showed a startling in- ( cite into the needs of the school and remedies to be applied. The teachers , were assurd that they had the united support of the trustees in their work. The indications now po!nt to the largest enrollment in the history of the school. A large number of outof-town pupils were enrolled. The scale of charges for out-of-town pupils will probably be as follows first j four grades in grammar school, $2.00, all other grades in grammar school, i $2.50. These rates are fixed by the Board of Trustees. The high school, of course, is free to every boy and girl in the county. School opended with an attendance of 215, distributed as follows: 1st grade, 30; 2d grade, 13; 4th grade, 30; 5th grade, 32; 6th grade, 14; 7th grade, 11; 8th grade, 18; 9th grade, 15; 10th grade, 13; 11th grade, 1 1 x x* MR.

RUBY, S. C. oooo >oooxxx>ooooooooocx Still Plenty of Room In Chesterfield County Word has como to this office that the sand hill section of this county 1 is filled with wild and incoherent ru- 1 mors regarding the coming of the cantonment. It is said that petitions a are being circulated protesting i? against it, etc. N In the first place the excitement is immature. It is by no means sure that this place will be accepted by the government. Other places are also being investigated. But there is no occasion for ex- \v citemcnt even if the government ? should decide linnn -J VV.U..- SI ty. There is lots and lots of room loft. st in this county to comfortably support h Lho families that will have to move, f, The county is too sparely settled; tl families are too far apart and schools tl .00 scattered. It will be a benefit to all j? concerned if the more fertile por- ^ tions of the county could be more h thickly populated. There i3 plenty n of room not only for the sand hill u residents but for all the outsiders who care to come in. u And right here we wish to make a st suggestion?not one of these farm- o ers should leave the county. Those tl who have land outside this zone ly- tl ing idle or improperly cared for ?? should let it he known, and in case u the camp comes here, should, out of good citizenship, offer it to these people at a price no greater than they i, have asked before. 8, It is the suggestion of Dr. I). T. t( Teal that those who have land to of- j, fer should get together and see that those good citizens who may be compelled to move, do not move out of ?he county. He is the first one to offer one thousand acres of good land 1 at as low a figure as he would have accepted some time ago. j, Let the land owners come together on this question and let the sand hill s residents know that the rest of the county is interested in them and real- t. ly want them to stay with us and i will make sacrifices if necessary to keep them here. p It is out that some of these poo- <; pie have the idea that if they are compelled to move they will have to j tfo on a lonjr journey hunting a new ^ home. v There is plenty of land rijrht at their door, but it should be offered at as low a price as possible.

The country which gave to warfare to aeroplane, the machine gun and linn trine may he depended upon to intrihute its part toward the fur lor development of the science of ^ ar. The world has l.ecn on the quivive >r some time to know just what Edi>n is doing in the seclusion of his M enlo Park retreat, and while \Ce Ki ait for further information, news ri ones that Americans have invented ? , least two appliances which should ove fatal factors in the war game. One of them is a new bomh which cnlodcs inst siv foot fMni ?n.. 'oumi, no matter from what height sfl is dropped. The trouble with the >iubs now used is that they explode ' 1 contact with the ground, and in ait way 90 per cent, of their force to id efficiency are lost on the dead ,-n irth. y Hut this new contrivance, the ore important secrets of which ive not, of course, been disclosed, irries a rod about six feet long so hich sets off the bomb when the rod y lUclies the ground, and thus the pro- (j( etiles with which the shell is filled utters in thousands of framents :or a large area. In short it should 'e ? at least 90 per cent, more efTec- af ve than anything of the kind now u, use in Europe. y Still an other American has invent I a contrivance tor shooting barbed " ire across the path of the enemy. m is a very simple thing?when you e< nderstand it? and it promises to jn ork quite a transformation in war si ethods.

It ought to go far toward reduc- el ig the mortality among our own en and in bringing the war to a P iccessful conclusion.
