Government Seeking 100000
Acres of Land In Chester
field County fof Military
Purposes
Final Decision by
September 3Oth


been found for the bald sand
hills of portion of Chesterfield
county, The Government has
has taken notice OF the ideal
military camp site in this coun.
ty, and it is believed that the
biggest army training camp in
the United States is soon to be
established in the central, thinly-
settled section of the county.
An army official recently came
to ,Cheraw and let it be known,
that there is a chance for the es-
tablishment of whopping big
training camp. and Immediately
the wheels began to turn. The
matter was taken up through
Mr.. @. w. Duvall of Cheraw,
and he soon enlisted the help of
many others. The work of Sc
curing options on all the land
in this great body of 10000
acres began at once, and at this
time it is practically complete.
This afternoon Mr.. Duvall
goes to Charleston and tomor-
row morning he lays the entire
matter before the authorities.
There are several more possible
sites, and the two most feasible
ones will be selected. Then en-
gineers will look over both sites,
and the final decision will be
made and reported to the War
Department not later than Sep
tember 3Oth.
1t is understood that this is to
be the finishing up training
camp for the troops from all the
camps in the United States, and
is intended to take the place of
the training behind the lines IN
France, The troops would be
brought here and given sixty
davs of training just as much
like real warfare as it is possible
to make it. Light artillery, ma
chine guns, rifles and very prob
ably airplanes would be brought
into use. The soldiers would be
given actual trench experience,
and sham battles would very
probably be almost a daily oc.
currence.
No better place could be found
in the United States. This site
is high, dry, healthy and billy.
The King sand hills could stop
all the bullets that can ever be
shot into them, and be none the
worse.
Right through the proposed
site goes Black creek with its
numerous branches so that there
would be no scarcity of water.
Thousands of acres of this land
have never been cultivated, and
the principal growth is stubby
black jack and wire grass. One
may travel miles without sign of
civilization. Of course, some
sections are settled, some of
them quite thickly, but these are
the exception and not the rule.
Someone has said that there are
approximately 1,700 homes in
this eD:iie body of one hundred
and fifty thousand acres. Much
of the land is owned by non
residents, who live IN Monroe.
Charlotte and other places. Mr..
Bonsal, the railroad promoter,
owns eleven thousand acres.
Mr.. Duvall states that the
large land owners are giving
options at reasonable price,
while the small holders are as
a rule, much higher. The Gov
ernment asks for leases or out
right sales.
There are many good people
who live within the proposed
boundaries, and many of them

Endurance All Important

Vibration is the foe to long motor life. 1t ac-
counts for breakdowns and for high maintenance
cost.
Vibration is usually responsible for the cars fire.
quent trips to the repair shop.
1t is vibration more than anything else which
forces cars out of speedway contests. Vibration
accounts for diminishing power OF motors.
If vibration and friction could be entirely
eliminated there would be no such thing as
motor car ever wearing out. By reducing vibra-
ton the life of the car is prolonged.
Vibration also reduces the usabe power OF the
motor Much of the power generated is consumed
within the motor by its own vibration.

The principal changes are such as could be made
at nominal cost to any Hudson Super-Sx.

This Calls for Endurance

The principles by which it has minmized vibration
and thus increased power and heightened motor
durance makes it easily suitable for racing Experts
who know the true quality of all cars select Hudson
SuperSix because they can rely upon them to win
their races.
The very qualities Of endurance that are necessary
in racing the qualities you should demand in the
car you buy. II guarantees safety, low maintenance
cost and long service.
You can get Hudson SuperSix in any body type
you may desire. There eight designs to choose
from. The carriage detail matches the high quality
of the chassis construction Because there are now
$4,000 Hudson Super-Six owners, a Hudson Super.
Six costs considerable less than any car with which
il is comparable

The Hudson Super-Six motor more than any
other type has minimized vibration. That is why
the Hudson Super-Six IS more powerful and capable
Of greater endurance than other cars.

These Tests Prove It

Hudson SuperSi1 speed tests are in reality en-
durance tests.
1t is possible to build faster than the Hudson
Super-Six Special, but the speedway record Of lO4
miles an hour for 200 miles held by Hudson
Super-Six Special proves that endurance is more I'M
portant
Faster cars have never been able to meet the
strain of such long distances
Endurance is Just vital to you as it is to the
driver on the speedway. Even though you may not
care for great speed. you do want endurance. Your
car must be able to meet every service strain.
Our interest in racing is not much to see how
fast we can make the Hudson Super-Sx. 1t is TO
demonstrate motor endurance. 1t would take too
long at ordinary driving speed TO demonstrate the
endurance life of Super Six. The speedway in a
few hours calls for the stamina required in years Of
ordinary use These racing tests Of interest be-
cause they show the endurance of HundSon Super
Six.
Race drivers are the most exacting critics of car
performance. More Hudson Super-Six cars used
in racing than Of any other make. Most Of them
