A Fellow and His Lodge.

Some people are lodge crazy and
join everything in sight. They are
called "joiners". Others are pessi,
mistic and can see no good in any
lodge.
But there is much good to be de.
rived from membership in any OF
the legitimate lodge. that flourish
everywhere, provided the lodge hab-
it is not carried to excess.
1t creates spirit Of comradeship
among the members that is seldom
found elsewhere. If a member is
in distress or difficulty, his lodge
promptly comes to his relief and
tides him over the rough places and
into smoother waters. If he is sick
they cheer him with their presence
and watch at his bedside and see
that his family does not suffer dur
ing his incapacity. And in many
other ways they are a distinct bene-
fit one to another.
The lodge is the symbol of the
brotherhood of man, and its tenets
are founded upon the Bible and ad'
vocate the elevation Of the human
race.
The fellow who identifies himsel.
with some good lodge and lives w
to it's teachings will be a better man
and citizen for the few hours he de.
votes to its meetings. We hate tc
see a good lodge 60 to pieces.

LAKE CITY CHRONICLES.
Local and Personal Mention In
Our Sister Town.

Lake City, July 4:-Judge and Mrs
S w G Shipp and children came down
from Florence Saturday and remain
ed until Sunday. The Judge has a
new automobile. While waiting for
Mrs Shipp and the children to come
out just before leaving home, he got
into the car, pushed a button or so
and pressed a lever, and went spin
ming up the street with the license
number in front. He felt around for
something tn change the direction of
progress and hit upon the gasoline
throttle, ,whereupon he simply whizzed
back. Finally after kicking among
the hardware in the foot some time,
he got Strengthened out and came on
without further trouble until, after
crossing Coward's bridge, he took
the wrong road and found himself
at that fresh Hope above Coward.
Mrs Shipp and the children got out.
so the Judge would have nobody in
the way and nothing to distract his
attention in turning around, as he
needed clear vision front and rear,
plenty of space and all the room to
pinch and kick those things in front
of him and under his feet. The turn
was easy and fine, and the broncho
had found his master.
Judge" H P Baldwin went up to
Whiteville, N G, the home of his
boyhood and young manhood days,
the early part of the week and spent
a few days with relatives and old
friends.

Let's Grasp Our Opportunity

Let's Grasp Our Opportunity
Perhaps the most important ques-
ton that has presented itself to the
people Of Kingstree and the south
eastern section ofWilliamsburg coun-
ty in many years is that involving
the route of the proposed new pub
lie highway between Charleston and
Columbia. The proposition has ell
Unused the business men OF Charles
ton, has created lively. interest
among the citizens of Berkeley coun-
ty and should arouse the people OF
Williamsburg, Clarendon, Florence
and Georgetown, inasmuch as we
are assured of the substantial CO.
operation ofCharleston and Berkeley
counties in the ultimate develop
ment of the project.
That part of the proposed plan
which should concern us most is
the extension of this road across
the Santee river at or near Murray's
ferry by means of an iron draw
bridge. Several routes are open to
the project, but this is the most
feasible one, and the only one that
would really be Of great benefit to
US. is also the one which would
meet the most favorable cooperation
of q majority of our neighbors on
the south side of the Santee because
it would put them in closer and
more direct touch with one of the
richest sections OF the State, and it
would give US an almost direct high
way route to the coastal metropolis.
The main thing now to be con-
sidered towards getting bridge
across the Santee river is the raising
of sufficient money to meet the cost
OF its construction. It is estimated
roughly that a good modern iron
bridge across the river, with perma-
nent approaches through the swamp,
can be built for less than $4,000.
Counties on the south side of the
river that will be affected by the
route have expressed thei1 willing
ness to contribute their share. What
about the counties on the north side
of the river? Williamsburg, we are
satisfied, will do her part. An au-
somobile road via Kingstree to
Charleston and the sea coast would
be of equally as much value to
Clarendon, Florence and Darlington
as it would to us, but would they be
willing to render financial assistance
in bringing this proposed plan to an
actual reality?
Theee counties already have fair
" good roads. Williamsburg has
the best system of roads it has had
in years, and one of these, passing
through the Heinemann section,
leads up to Murray S ferry, the most
practicable point for bridging the
Santee. Let's gasp the opportu-
nifty.

as meaning Carranza, instead of signing

Wood said that at no time has he
stated he could not locate Lawson or get
in touch with him. He says he's taken
it for granted when the proper time
comes. there will be no trouble in reach
ing Lawson and getting full statement
from him on what he knows concerning

Wood stated further the reflection
cast by Lawson's telegram "upon ev-
cry member Of the house and senate,'
was sufficient to warrant the fullest in
yestigation of all the matters Invoiyed
in his resolution and that the senate
and house out of self respect for each
of these bodies should insist on such an
investigation.
Wood said that if the editorials APP
pearing in newspapers of the country
are any reflection on public opinion the
public itself will insist on the fullest in
vestigation, not only for the purpose Of
ferreting out those who are responsible
for the advance information received BY
Wall street, but to prevent recurrence
of such scandal.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Dec 2s-" The fear that
if prefent peace negotiations fail this
nation then must clear its slate on the
submarine situation, with Germany grew
apace today.
But President Wilson intends to push
this peace Of work to the limit to avoid
possible subsequent unpleasantness with
Germany, if possible.
Both President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing have decided to maintain dis
Greet silence on this topic. This is due,
it is believed, to the fact that they do
not wish to appear to be wearing chip
on the shoulder when peace is being
talked with even slight hope Of sue
cess.
There is now no mistaking, officials
believe, that President Wilson'S peace
notes to belligerents and the two sub
se9uent explanations" by Secretary
Lansing, in effect, constituted warn
ing against any unbridled acts of war
that would involve American lives or
rights. Since it has always been this
governments attitude that violations
which affected property are not even to

dangered American lives, but have also
destroyed American property, admitted
Ely in violation of all rules of human
ity and international warfare.
Officials, however, are trying not "a
over.emphasize this as theyyreally want
to aid peace, and have already put ths
government on record as not considering
any change in the neutrality policy al
this time. y
One authority, however, repeated that
there will be no more note writing K
Germany, and he indicated that If Ger
J many cuts loose with her submarines

IF PEACE MOVE FAILS

following probable failure Of the peace
negotiations, then break must newt
ably come, in keeping with the Amer
lean Sussex note threat.
The fact that the allies intend to
state their terms and aims is thought
here likely to put Germany diplomatic
ally Gin a hole" and hence to make
peace even more improbable than it now
seems.
Whether there will be an extra ses-
sion Of congress after March 4, depends
in large measure on the prospects of
peace in Europe.
Best information today was that
Pvesident Wilson will desire to have the
national Legislature in session if there
is indication between now and the close
of the present congress that peace il
possible
Otherwise, it is stated, the administra-
tion feels the course of neutrality
might be embarrassed by the continu.
nncc of the session, with the possibili-
ties Of debates, or measures being in
jeeted into the situation which might
be disturbing Of America s delicate adj
justment in international affairs.
In one group here today, however,
it was suggested that the president
might desire to keep congress continual
ly in session if the possibility Of a
break with Germany continued to loom
as possibility.
If the administration determined up
ON a severance Of relations with Ger
many it is believed the president would
ask the advice of congress '--preanm.
ably through special message and
this despite the fact that he could take
such action without congressional au
thorization.
The president himself intends 70 re
main close to Washington in order L
remain in best possible touch with do
yelopments and he has arranged for al
most daily personal or telephone talk
with Secretary Lansing.
