Patriots who prone made Chestnut

the face, which is dirty. Also there is a
white line extending from his chin to his
waistcoat, as though he had been eating

South Carolina Loses the En-
campment.

Washington, April 20.-"The
cncampment of the Ninth division

not be he'd there"
This was the brief but positive
statement made to the States cor
respondent by Secretary Garrison
l,tc this afterr Don when asked
about the matter.
Asked further whether this meant
,',qt South Carolina had hnen en-
t:rclv eliminated from consideration
j. connection with the holding Of
f'ur rnrampmenr. the secretary said
lat h. had nothing TO say on that
feature ut IN" present time. but
rhqt. as ABOVE stated. it would not
no held at the Isle Of Palms.
Those who are familiar with the
situation and who have kept track
of this matter for the past two
weeks are positive that no point in
South Carolina will he chosen for
the cncampment. That the Isle Of
Palms has lost the cncampment be-
cause of the attitude of the COVER
nor OF South Carolina is also we'll
known TO those who have kept up
with the efforts of Congressman
Whaley, Senator Tillman and 9TH
ers to have the encampment he'd
near Charleston.
1t was March 30 when Secretary
Garrison, after considerable work
on the part Of Mr.. Whaley and
represent ltive business men OF
Charleston and Senator Tillman
and other members OF the South
Carolina delegation in congress, in
formed Senator Tillnan that the
Isle of Palms had been chosen for
the point of manoeuvres. Then
trouble began to appear, the exact
nature of which is clear to read
ers of the daily papers, in South
Carolina.
In a word, the war department
would not stand the attitude of tht
governor of South Carolina. To
dav was the final time when th'
governor could square himself will
the war department. He failed t'
do so with the result that the Isle %
Palms loses its proposed encamp
ment and in all probability no 9th

office of auditor of Edgefeld coun-

Rebuilding The Baptist Church
Practically Without Beg
ging.

When our church was burned
last June the entire community e1-
pressed profound sympathy, and the
universal conviction was that it
must be and would be rebuilt. A
number of people, not members of
our church, volunteered contribu-
tions or pledges. As rapidly as pos
sibleiplan for a new building were
adopted and methods for raising
the necessary money were settled
upon, upon the recommendation of
a strong advisory committee. The
plan; adopted was to secure SUBJ
scriptions payable in four Install.
luents, closed by note. Committees
were appointed to see the church
members, in the carrying out of the
above plan. 1t was thought best
that the pastor, too, should join in
this task of securing subscriptions.
The remarkable thing i'll this con-
nectIou, is that three fourths of the
required amount has been secured
practically without any begging.
Friends have been seen but have not
i,een run down. Perhaps, friends
not LENDERS of our church, who
ae5ts help, ,.aShave wondered
that they have not been solicited.
We wish such friends to know that
we need and will appreciate their
aid, but do not wish to make our.
selves disagreeable by disagreeable
begging. We know, too, that many
friends out in the county and else.
where wish to contribute to the re-
building of the old Edge6eld Bap-
tiSt church.
We must yet raise about $4,000.
If friends will cooperate as hereto
fore we shall soon get this amount
in good subscriptions. We invite
friends in and out of our church
here, who have not done so, 10
make subscriptions. 1t would he
