TaE PEE dee VALLEY RAILROAD.
New Road Projected from Winston, n.
C., 10 GeOrQeiOWD.


The Pee Dee corps of the Pee Dee
Valley railroad is still surveying in
this county. The chief engineer is Z
Courier and the assistant engineers
are F B Hendrix and S B Scott. The
rodmen are N 3 Temple and A j
Gates, 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
Mccall cemetery had along the line
of the Weatherly lands, crossing
Fayetteville avenue between ) "
Tyson's and r L Kirkwood's, aud
the Coast Line tracks back OF Dr
Jordan's. From there the survey
goes southeastward, in the direction
Of Medlin Springs and Latta. If con-
tinued in the same direction it will

Five Forks, and cross the Latta
branch of the Coast Line between
Dunbar and Bingham.
North of here the line crosses

mill and comes down through the
Moore section,
Another line has been surveyed by
Lester and Tatum and will 60 Gear
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
Rockingham to Marion.
John Ickles, the president of the
company, has been here for several
days inspecting the various possible
routes and consulting with the prop
erty 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. 1t may not come by
Bennettsville, but this is the logical
route if it is given sufficient encour-
agement here.
1t is said that nearly everybody in
the country, over whose lands the
survey passes, has offered to give free
right of way. 1t passes for three or
four h-iles through the rich lands of
the Moore section, and they have all
offered free right of way.
,Befsce the survey was made into
BsnnettsTille, the following citizens
gottogether and showed Mr. Ickles
over the prospective routes in East
Bennettsville, and helped to select
what seemed to be the best route.

A Confederate Veteran, a Mason Two
Score Years, and an EX-Legislator.

Camlln, Sr, who departed this life

heads IN sorrow but with submis-
sion to the will of the Supreme Ar
chitect of the universe. This de.
ceased brother was born on Black
river, near what is now called Cen
trail church, January &c, 1924, and
died at the advanced age of IS years
and 1 months. He was educated in
the county schools and studied law
in his young days, but never prac'
t,ced that profession.
AS a Confederate soldier he fought
for four years tor Southern indie
pendence in General NJ G Butler
brigade, who has preceded him to
the soldiers place of rest but few
days. This honored Confederate SOL
dier had spoken several times of
Gen N G Butler in the presence of
the wliter, mentioning their hard
ships, and shed tears freely. This
deceased Confederate soldier saw
some of the hottest battles of the
Confederate wal. Our people know
the record that Gen Buffers army
made.
After the late war the deceased
served as trial justice for 16 years,
first being appointed under the Re-
publican administration, while he
was true and'tried Democrat. Also
in the trying days of '76 the subject
Of this sketch was credited with other
good Democrats with winning the
State of South Carolina from car
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 poll
tics. During the past ten years of
his life he retired from both business
and politics.
He was consistent member Of the
Methodist church and was the found.
er of Harmony Methodist church.
For the last three years of his life he
was an invalid from a stroke of pa
ralysis, which he he suffered On April
(. 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
prepared to meet death in peace.

this fraternal chain has been broken,
we can only say, "Brother, We bid
thee a last, long farewell. Thou art

Pains i ;

my mother is a great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DIR.
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royce6eld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence OF
pain, which so frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and If
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

Don't Forget How to Walk.

The trolley car, the automobile and
TIE train have made transportation
so easy that people seldom walk arv
more. They ride to business, to the
theatre, the store, the resort. from the
country into town, from one street to
another. until walking has become al
most q lost art. In a generation or
two more we will forget how to use
orr legs. Man is by nature a walk
ing animal. He was never made to
sit still and be swiftly moved from
place to place. And he is beginning g
to show the results Of failure to use
the motor muscles. He is becoming
too fat and pudgy, and no small por-
tion of his i'll health might be traced
to this failure to develop his muscles
and use his physical faculties.
Edward Payson Weston at 70 years
OF age is as hale and hearty as the
average well-preserved man Of so.
He has just succeeded in walking
clear across the continent, from New
York to San Francisco. Mr.. Weston
made this trip of 1886 miles in just
1O5 days and hours. A consider
able portion of the journey was made
in weather that was trying to the
strongest men, and once he himself
was overcome by the intense heat.
Mr. Weston has the satisfaction of
having achieved a feat that seems
almost impossible in a man of his ad-
vanced years, and he has had the sat
isfaction Of seeing the country more
thoroughly than is possible to the
traveller who rushes through on
train or scurries from town to town
in motor car. Doubtless he owes
his vigorous health largely to his ha-
oit al walking. 1t is one Of the best
forms of exercise, exhilarating but
not violent. 1t is one form of amuse-
ment that is open to everybody, rich
and poor alike. City people seldom
get enough exercise out of doors, and
the revival of the art of walking
would do them a world of good
