THE ENCAMPMENT ENDS.

Charleston. June 27.-with the
breaking Of camp Of the Second and
Third regiments Of the South Caro-
lima National Guard on Sullivan's ISL
and today, the departure of the SOL
diers was rapidly, smoothly and safely
conducted by special trains this after
noon.
With the same precision and order

and went down to Sullivan's Island.
the troops returned here on the early
afternoon trips Of the ferry, the local
commands repairing first to their ar
mories and putting up their equip
ment, while the out Of Charleston
commands loaded their baggage ON
the cars, conveniently placed at the
ferry wharf and then boarded the
coaches and, took their departure.
The ease, dispatch and general eff
cient handling Of the men and bag

The Atlantic Coast Line ran two
specials out Of Charleston for the de-
parting soldiers; the Walterboro COM

specials leaving shortly afterwards
carried the soldiers for Columbia,

for Florence. Georgetown, Benntees-

The soldiers were all in a good hu-

ious to get home after their arduous
but pleasant work Of the past ten
days in camp. while others would like
to have tarried and spent some time
here. The men had all spent the time
profitably on the island and learned

A Local Enterprise.

Begun as strictly local enterprise
and conducted by men who for gen.
erations have been in the water trans
portation business, it is the aim of
this company to always maintain the
important trade link as a Baltimore
concern. They find expansion Of ia
cilities needful and are seeking to in
terest local merchants and trade
bodies in plans for the means for the
expansion.

20S E. Goth Street,
Baltimore, June 21, 1908.

Baltimore's splendid position for
trade with the South and as a dis
tributing point was never more strik-
ingly illustrated than by the expert
ence and the present condition Of the
Baltimore and Carolina Steamship
Company. Deprived by a fire at sea
Of the services Of one of it's steam
ships, the George Weems, officers of
the company have been at work to
secure another ship to maintain the
splendidly growing coastwise business
between this city and North and
South Carolina and interior points
reached via those States. The propo-
sition with the company is to find a
ship Of Is feet Ooaded) draft, of
large freight-carrying capacity and
in good condition. For such a ship
they are ready to pay a proper fig
ure.
While Baltimore sends great guam
titles Of boots, shoes. dry goods, bak-
cry products. spirits, groceries. hard
ware. -four. grain and miscellaneous
articles by this coastwise line, the
canned goods movement is immense
This movement will begin in volume
within a month, so that the company
has but little time to secure a ship

which Is kept plying constantly up
and down. the coast loaded to ca
pacity, and with inability to carry all
the freight offered.
Helps City's Trade.
Not for many years has there been
started from Baltimore a transporta-
ton enterprise that has done so
much to develop the city's business
and that is so large with promise. A
striking development Of the present
year Is the great flow Of cotton from
Charleston abroad to every country
Of Europe via Baltimore, a business
formerly done via New York. On
the pier Of the Carolina company, at
the foot Of Long Dock, there are now
stored hundreds Of bales of cotton
consigned to Russia. Austria, Ger
many, France and England; there has
just gone from the pier LOO bales
for England. and there is on the ship
bound north over 1000 bales for for
eign markets. So great is the de-
mand of cotton to reach Europe by
way Of Baltimore that the amount
moving is regulated simply by the
ability Of the Carolina company to
carry it and Of the foreign bottoms
to take it.
This movement is a great trade tri-
umph for Baltimore and it demon
strates how rare are the advantages
Of this city IL the people, like the
Williams Brothers, will only realize
them and work to develop them.
A sign Of the improvement in bus
iness is that the northbound lumber
and the southbound products from
Baltimore are increasing. The prin-
ciple involved in the business of the
coastwise steamship line Is that by
1t goods can reach the South cheaper
from here than from New York and
other Northern cities. and the same
goods can be distributed through here
and abroad and to a vast section of
Western country cheaper These geo.
graphic conditions form a tremendous
trade influence and the business of
the steamship company is destined to
become one of the most satisfactory

tribute to this great progress OF the

the soil we call ours. The Jews were
the pioneer monOtheistic people; and
they again illustrate the fact that this
great principle of freedom, toward the
realization of which we strive. began
in religion. The government of the
Judges, ages ago in Palestine, afforded
to the Puritans of New England the
