Big U. S. Army Training Camp
May Come to Chesterfield County

Perhaps Chesterfield County was
never so stirred in it's history as at
present, and good reason. The Uni
ted States government, in looking
for suitable site for big perma-
nent military training camp, has fix
ed its eye upon Chesterfield county
as very desirable spot. If this site
should be selected, 10000 acres
right in the middle of the county will
be required, territory about IL by
15 miles.
There are several reasons why this
spot is attractive for this purpose.
1t is healthful, well-drained, we'll
supplied with good water and sparely
settled. Heretofore people have won
dered what the King Sand Hills were
good for, and the government may
answer the question by saying it is
good for our soldiers to train on and
prepare to defend our homes.
One of the deciding factors with
the government officials will be the
number of families that will be COM
PEELED to move should the camp come
here. 1t is estimated that there are
in this tract of 10000 acres, be-
tween TOO and 800 families. It will
not be known how this compares with
other territory under investigation
until Sept 3Oth.
Options have been submitted to
every landowner in this territory by
committee of citizens who thus gave
their time with becoming patriotism
to the government. The option asks
for lease price and sale price for
the land in question.
1t taken, the government purposes

Mr.. J. F. PORTER PASSES AWAY

The entire community was sadden-
ed Monday evening when it was learn
ed that ]. Frank Porter, one of Ches-
terfeld's most popular business men
had succumbed to typhoid fever. Mr..
Porter had been sick only short
time but his condition had seemed
serious from the beginning.
He is survived by a wife, who was
Miss Edgeworth, of Ruby, and three
small children; by his brother, Messrs.
j.. w. and E. E. Porter, of Chester
field, Mr.. Charlie Porter, of Pageland,
and Mrs. Mangum, of Pageland, and
one single sister.
The interrment was at Rose Hill
Cemetery near Pagcland Tuesday at
noon with Masonic honors.

A PLUCkY LITTLE WOMAN

1t was a blushing bride of three
short weeks who proved conclusively
Tuesday afternoon at Cheraw that
the Spartan spirit was not dead in
the womanhood of Chesterfield Coun-
ty. Marching in line with her hus-
band, Mrs. Jackson C. Smith, showed
a spirit of patriotism that is latent
in great many in these days Of our
Nations peril.
When the long line Of the carefully
selected men was formed--men who
had responded to their Country's call
it was noticed that a pretty young
woman took her place along with the
men and proudly she marched along
side her husband.
In recognition of her patriotic
stand, Chairman E. w. Duvall called
her name along with those selected
for military service. We venture
that Mrs. Smith is the first woman in
these United States who took her
place in line with the men for the
New National Army and had the
honor and distinction of having her
name included in the roll call by n
U. S. government official.
Let every mother and wife, though
unable to take her place in line,
stand squarely behind son, husband
or brother and like Mrs. Smith, send
the one she loves forth to battle with
the Spartan mothers injunction,
Bring your shield back or be brought
upon it."

MORE AMERICAN INGENUITY

-hdSoH NEWS.
The country which gave to warfare
the acroplane, the machine gun and
submarine may be depended upon to
contribute its part toward the fur.
ther development of the science Of
war.
The world has been on the quivivc
for some time to know just what Edi-
son is doing in the scclusion Of his
Mcnlo Park retreat, and while We
wait for further information, news
comes that Americans have invented
at least two appliances which should
prove fatal factors in the war game.
One of them is new bomb which
eXplodcs just six feet from the
ground, no matter from what height
it is dropped. The trouble with the
bombs now used is that they explode
on contact with the ground, and in
that way 90 per cent. Of their force
and efficiency are lost on the dead
earth.
But this new contrivance, the
more important secrets of which
have not, Of course, been disclosed
carries rod about six feet long
which sets off the bomb when the rod
touches the ground, and thus the pro-
icctiles with which the shell is filled
scatters in thousands of framents
over large area. In short it should
be at least 90 per cent. more effec-
tive than anything of the kind now
in use in Europe.
Still an other American has invent
ed contrivancc for shooting barDed
wire across the path of the enemy
1t is very simple thing-when you
understand it--and it promises to
work quite a transformation in war
methods.
1t is known fact, of course, that
when the defensive barbed wire has
been cut by the big guns of the enc
my there is nothing to keep him back
but the barrage fre-which is fire.
qaently penetrated in a desperate on
set-and then the machine guns and
the hand to hand fighting.
The new gun will throw coils of
barbcd wire along the pathway of
the oncoming enemy, and so cntan-
gle his units that they may be over
come the more readily while they are
trying to disentangle themselves.
The war department is keeping the
real mechanism Of this a secret also,
and they are but two of many ar
rangements which American ingenu-
ity has devised to meet the Hun
who sometimes improves but rarely
invents anything.
1t ought to go far toward reduc
ing the mortality among our own
men and in bringing the war to a
successful conclusion.
