lubercuiotii Association Meeting
South Carolina Tubcvoulosi* Asso
ciation neld its anrual mee*i:;g on
CA/ristmas Seal Sale Rally Friday,
.Nov. 1st in Columbia. Thos.^ who at
tended the meeting from Kershaw
County were: Dr. A. W. Humphries,
Rev^ A. Douglas ^McArn, Mrs. D.
M. Mays, Misses Elizabeth Clark, and
Mary Kimbrell. The meetings were
jimit interesting and inspiring. Dr.
Pi Jacob* frota Ijtafi JNatiooal
Tuberculosis Association, says that
for every active case of tuberculo
sis 6 to 8 people are exposed, three
children are exposed and to prevent
the spread, of tuberculosis we must
take care of these dh'ildren.
We were glad to have. Mr. McAim
of Kershaw County Tuberculosis ap
pear on the program telling us how
Kershaw County increased her sale
last year. Due to the efforts of the
voluntary workers with Mr. McArw,
Kershaw County made four times
that of the preceding year on the
sale of seals. After having organized
a Kerslhiaw County Tuberculosis Asso
ciation last February the association
Bet to work to making plans to carry
on an intensive tuberculoBiR campaign
to last hs long as the money held
out. In September, M5ss Mary Kim
brell, who had special training in
T. B. work at the University of Mich
igan, came to Camden to carry on
this campaign.
Miss Kimbrell's program was en
dorsed by the Kershaw County T.
B. Association and the Kerwfraw
County Medical Society. The program
has gone forward witJjhf much success
due to the cooperation, interest and
efforts of the doctors, the patrons,
and teachers in Kershaw County.
The tuberculin testing had been
carried on in the white high schools
of the county and is now being car
ried on in tihfe colored schools with
the pupils of tho teen age throughout
the county. Of those 880 receiving
the test, 100 showed positive react
ions. Thirteen of this number have
had X-ray examinations and ap
pointments for 30 X-ray examinat
ions have been made. The largest
number of Uhb roactors have been
visited in tho homes and instructions!
given the children and parenta to
prevent these children from becoming
susceptible to tuberculosis or devel
oping into active cases. Tho history
of most of these casea give account
of these children being exposed to
some active or open case of T. B.
Excellent cooperation has been
had from the members of tlhfc nine
of tho cases of tuberculosis, which
have been discovered Since Septem

Red Poloists !
Win Again
The winter sport season which
Camden enjoys every year is rapidly
approaching. A representative crowd
of the horsey set was made well a
ware of the fact in witnessing a
snappy polo game Sunday afternoon
on field No. 2. The game was one of
a series of practice games (hfeld un
der the auspices of the Camden Polo
Association. These matches are hot
ly contested and are featured by hard
riding on the part of the players.
The exceeding keenness of the
competition is due to the fact that
the all star four, whidh will represent
Camden in its games with A ugusta,
Winston-Salem and other cities has
not yet been picked. Last years stars
such as Ancrum Boykin, Joe Bates,
and Kirby Tupper are being put on
their mettle to hold their berths from
the galaxy of rising poloists, such
as Clarkson Kln'ame, Charlie Robin- 1
son and others. The individual feat- j
ure of the game was the W.ild West
riding of Ancrum Boykin.
The interest showed by the spect- I
atora and the enthusiasm displays
by the contestants assure polo fans
of Camden and vicinity of a most
successful and interesting srason.
The opposing lineups of the bat
tle were as follows:
Reds Whites |
Kirby Tupper C. P. DuBose
Ancrum Boykin . . . Charlie Robinson
Joe Bates Clarkson Rteme
Henry Savage Buck Smith
Charlie Little cut in for the Whites
The umpire was Frank Wooten
The timekeeper was Louis Cly

The final score was 5-4 favor the
