Warren (irinrni, t'entralia lawyer, and H en Cashugrunda, C'cutralia real estate man, died lute "today from wounds miti.ied from Industrial Worker* of the NVofW tired on an Aiiniatlco Day parade here today. The death list early tonight stood at three, Arthur MoBlfrofch hav mr. bee iv 'killed instantly. All wen- over wean meir, Nale Hubbard, one of the six mvn wounded, wan reported dying. The other wounded will 'rerover, it wan said, All the killed ami wounded wore overseas veteran*. Sixteen alleged Industrial Workers of 'the World were arrested early tonight, and more were being pi need in jail as fast as they could be fouiul. Former soldiers . wer?i guarding the jail to keep the prisoners from a mob which crowded arouml tho, building. Iiuimcdiately after The shooting, a crowd of spectators aud marchers seiz ed a man they believed to be the ring leader of the I. W. W. They put a rope around bin neck, threw the rope over the cross- a mi of a telephone pole and started to haul him up. He was ~itr the air only, {L brief period before the chief of police prevailed upon the "crowd to let him down. Tonight the man wan i? jail here nearly dead. The whole city had turned out to cele brate the anniversary of the suspension of hostilities and a large parade was formed headed by the rity's boys who had heated bring about the glad day a year ago. Wearing the uniforms that shel tered thean in the trenches of France and on the picket lines of the German border, the service men were the syno sure of the hundreds of women and child ren who -lined the streets. As th? column swung around the cor ner of Tower avenue aud Second avenue the band^truck up u patriotic march. Then bulrwty came into the ranks from aji unseen enemy. Men fell to the pavement and tiny rivulets of blood ahowed the spectators what had taken place, the cra<4c of the rifles of the assasius having been drowned by the blare of the band. . ? -Tiny- ^nSs-rof- wmofcr-^from the roof of u nearby building indicated whence the bullets had come and the nearness of the I. W. W. hall ied to the quick decision that the heroes who had weath ered the sanguinary battlefields of Ku rope had been slain from ambush by radicals who opposed the American sys tem of (government. The marching soldier* did not linger to await the order to fall out but with seeming intuition rushed into the nearby structure and sought their way to the roofs. The wipers bad disappeared, but the service men sought highways and byways for all suspicious persons and then sent out pioneers into the timber* ed couHtry around the city. Wives, daughters and sweethearts of the paraders after a momentary pause from the sudden terror ' of the situa tion rushed to the aid of the fallen. That the firing was intended fpr sol diers was shown by the fact that all the killed and injured were in. the mili tary section of the parade which was made up partly of residents of Chehalis. Arthur McBLfresh was found to have been killed instantly but Warren Grimm did 11 6 1 die "until later. Grimni's death added to the fury of the crowd of civil-, ians that swarmed later about the jail to demand vengean<^. He had been an idol of the town even before the war, as he was a star football player at the University of Washington. He had added to the es teem of his townsmen by n profession al career until the war for democracy called him. He had (been welcomed home with all the plaudits, due a warrior and his death at the hiddeoi hands of those who opposed that for which he had faced the enemy in the open, drove men and women to frenzy. .Mob Hangs Prisoner. Seattle, Wash.. Oct. 11. ? About 8 o'clock the mob surrounding the Oen tr&lia jail succeeded in getting one of the I. W. W's arrested out of the jail and into an automobile, rushing him away before the guards oouhl prevent it, telephone reports here said. At 7 :.T0 tonight the city's lights were suddenly cut off and a volley of shots rained down Pearl street. It was dur ing this period that the prisoner was taken from jail and spirited away. He was rushed toward a nearby wood and at last accounts the crowd had disap peared with him. According to a report telephoned to the Associated Pr?? here tonight from the Centralis Chronicle, the mob took the alleged I. W. W. from jail, escort ed him to a fV>lnt just outside the city limits and" hanged him on a bridge on what is known as the old Obehalis mili tary road.

' sf ***!*? ,,,s' ? * In placing the Musical Comedy .ienpa tion "Wbat's the Idea?" with 32 people, mostly girls, before the theatre-going, music loving people of the United States, Manager Peterson selected a title, that soon will become the most popular phrase ever used by an English speaking people. Should you walk along the ?street, tired and worn out, after a hard day's mental struggle and your mind is wandering to ward some big business deal you contem plate closing the next day, and should some other hard thinking passeby hit you slightly on the shoulder* you will in variably turn unthinkingly, without meaning to be discourteous, and ask ".What's the Idea?" " Should you order coffee with your din ner, and the waiter says "No sugar sir", you will turn and ask "What's the Idea?" So you see you are sure to connect this phrase with pretty nearly every incident that may happen to you every day. But from a theatrical standpoint "What's the Idea?_" is the big idea of musical comedy, and the biggest idea with "What's the Idea?", is Rice and Cady, the funniest men on the American stage. They are in a class all by them selves, but manager Peterson was wise enough to realize that they could not give a first-class top notch show alone, so at an enormous expense, he bag sur rounded tbetoi with an ultra excellent ca<?t of metropolitan players, and a moat wonderful singing and dancing girl cho I rus of beauty, yoiith and grace. In conjunction with all this, the man agement bas secured from Mr. Geo. Nanlon of Fantasma and Superba fame, the greatest illusion ever presented, call ed the "Girl in the Bubble". A pretty girl is shown in a beautifully colored re volving soap bubble, and you sit and wonder and say to yourself 'ihow on earth did sho get inside of that." This alone in worth the price of admission for it is really another one of the big ideas with "What's the Idea?" ' "What_'s the Idea?" will be at Op<jra \ House Friday night Nov. 14. Owing to 1 the Harris Theatre, Spartanburg, being , condemned we have been able to secure j tlw? wonderful attract>on, the biggest and | best musical show ever seen in Cam- 1 den.

Tumble From Thirty to Twenty-Six Cents Per Gallon, For several mouths an agreement has existed between the garages and oil sta tion owners of Camden..- to sell gasoline at thirty cent* per gallon,^ ad this price has been held to for some time despite itbe fact that it wa-s sjld in other towns throughout the state at tweuy-eight cents. Mr. wr?. Scarboro, who has recent )y opened his service station at the corner of DeKaW) and Lyttleton streets announced this week that he would sell at 28 cents. Five of the garage own era immediately signed an agreement to handle it as a matter of accommodation and have reduced the price still lower, charging only 20 cent*. They buy it wholesale at 25 1-2 cents and their margin of profit is very *ma>l. An inquiry at the smaller stations state that they have fallen in line with Mr. Scarbono and are charging 28 cents per gallon. Mr. Burrell Shirley who op erates two filling stations ? one on the road from Bethune and the other near the Hermitage Mill has been Helling at 28 cents for ?>me time, as ?has also Mr. Itoss on the road leading from Ker shaw. .The garage? who have agreed to sell ut 20 ?cents are the Liberty Motor Hales Co., W. O. Hay's Garage, Carolina Mo tor Co.. Beard's Garage and Consolidated Auto Co. In talking with motor car owners we find that nearly all of them are in sym pathy with Mr. Hcarboro and welcome the reduction in the price, feeling that they have for some time been paying too much for eheir gas. It is the pre diction that it will only be a short while before they will all come to the new rate of 28 cents. Mr It. C. Johnson. ??f Charlotte ?pent Sunday in Camden at the home of his parent* Mr. and Mr*. W. E. Johnson. 2ft Cents Gasoline. The Scarbnro Service Station an nounce* the sale of gasoline at 28 cents per gallon. Heretofore the price of gas oline has been 30 cents ? a few cents higher than any other city in the State. We feel we had a perfect right to place the Camden market in line with other cities of South Carolina. Other dealers weem to think otherwise and are trying to force me o^jt by cutting the price still kuwer. Patronize the man who caused the price to rome down. W. C. Scarborough.

Kershaw County ia one o f the few counties that don't have to borrow money for current expenses through the year. We desire to recommend that there be n cement wal'k from the front steps of the court house to the side walk, as wide as the front steps of tho court house.

We trust that it will bo: attradid to at obw> : -- We found* the jail, in splendM Audi tion, and want to add here, that wo still feel that the porch around the juil tfupfriieft a much needed want. We would recommend that all col ection* from the ferry be turned over by the ferryman to t#>e County Treas urer daily, and not bo the Supervisor as now is the cane, aifd that the County Treasurer be required to issue in duoli cate receipts, receipting the ferryman for the said collection*, and that the said ferryman be required to file one receipt with the County Auditor and one with the Supervisor. ' 'We also recommend that the rents from the County Poor Farm be turned over to the County Trea?*urer, and that the County Treasurer file in duplicate receipts for same, with the County An1 ditor and Supervisor. We al*o recom mend that the collections from the said fei;ry ami Poor Farm be disbursed on coucher? of the County Hoard, as other cunty funds are. We further recom mend that our legislative delegation be requested 1 (J) ' hffV'c t.he laws passed to ' put this recommendation into effect. We would like to recommend that there be placed in the center of the n??w bridge acro*H the Wateree Iliver, a rail so as to /Hvide the travel left to right or rigiht to lelft as the case may be. We al*o rweomjnend that all railroad crossings be ibuilt up throughout the county tfn a level with tho rails of the railroad, so as to prevent such severe jolts in crossing over. We deplore the conditions v#f the rdad* throughout the county. It has been reported to us that, the road from Cantey to PeKalb is impassable. Wo understand fche^ is some work being done on each end of this road but none oo other parts of it. ' We do especially recommend that something be done immediately on the Camden and Liberty Hill road. This road had been abwolutely, in some places ?oibmerged by water of the Wateree Power Company, ami nothing done by our County authorities to prevent or correct the evil. "We ask that this evil be attended bo at once by the County. We recommend that a warrant be is sued for Bristow Rawls who found the infant in a bog pasture near Boykins Mill some time ago, and that hf* he arrested on the charge of murder.
