cars will be in waiting, ard which
will whisk the half a thousand or
more in hurry to the camp grounds.
This is one of the features of the Pal
metto Beach encampment which is
commented on with much favor by
head officers of the order. The visi-
tors are enabled to march from their
special train on paved streets to the
waiting cars, and the large number
