political speech after the registration

county political campaign prior to tfie
primary, which vwill be staged or?
Tuesday of next week, last night at
the Oak Hill schoolhouse. did "not
speak, agreeing to forego his privi
lege because of the meeting that was
on in that section in the interest of
the War - Savings Stamp Campaign,
but will fill his engagement in that
section Thursday night when he
speaks at the Oak Hill schoolhouse at
8 o'clpck. Many were in attendance
for lis address arid wore somewhat
disappointed because of the postpone
ment, for the Representative is an
eloquent speaker and always holds his
audience.
When it was first announced it
he would speak an invitation was ex
tended his opponent, Captain Edgar
D. Williams, to reply, but this was
declined, the captain, in a communica
tion to the ' editor of The Dispatch
saying that he had no idea of fur
nishing Mr. Grant with an audience
and urging that all stay at home and
prepare for the planting of their
crops.

ASA
PROBABILITY
Expect One Yard to Be Lo
cated There and the Other
Further South
AsoociaUd Press dispatches, appear
ing in today's issue of The Dispatch.
to tne enect xnax a iour way ya.ru iui
the building of ships will probabty
be located at Charleston within a
short while and that another for the
South Atlantic coast will be locatJ
further South, leaves Wilmington
although it was stated by local it
terests working on the shipbuilding
I proposition, Wednesday afternoon,
n.. .... ! . .11..
that things lOKea Deiier ior. uxe city
just now than at any previous time
and that an important announcement
within a few days might not be sur
prising.
The fact that the Shipping Board
is considering Charleston for the next
yard with a strong probability that
it will be located there and the fur
ther fact that the other yard win prob
ably be located further South does
not have the Tight ring to Wilming
tonians. This announcement comes
close on the heels of one to the ef
fect that the War Department has au
thorized the location of an aviation
'raining school at Charleston and
continues the impression that South
Carolina is getting the lion's share
while this city gdes unnoticed.
