In smite of the incident weather the rally for education in Camden last Saturday was very gratifying to tho comifctee in tjbarge. With Mr. Bratton de Loach '.as chairman the county was thoroughly organized and the message carried to forty-six school districts, We believe that a brighter day is dawning for South Carolina along educational linos. Hope, promise and wonderful" possi bilities loom up on the near horizon. Each speaker felt this as thoy look ed into the bright faces of the boys and girls that {greeted them on the campaign throughout the eoUnty. They seemed not only interested but enthused and wo hope that the seed fell1 into good soil and will bring forth an abundant harvest The final exercises of the week were held at the Grammar school auditorium at 10:30. Saturday morn ing and were opened with prayer by Rev. W. H. Hodges, pastor of the Lyttleton Street Methodist ehurch. Mr. L. A., Wittkowsky, city attor ney, welcomed the visitors in behalf of the city council and[ Mr. Bratton deLoach introduced the speaker, Dr. W. D. Melton, president of the Uni versity of South Carolina. Dr. Mel ton gave a most excellent and timely address. We hope to hear Dr. Melton again and to give him a representa tive Camden audience. Mr. Bratton delx?ach then gave a fine talk on ed ucation and was followed by Cam den's beloved physician. Dr. John W. Gorbett, who gave an interesting and instructive . talk Oft Hygiene^" A brass band added much to the .excess, of the day?. This music was the generous contribution of the business men of the city. Mr. Sam Karesh, as chairman of the commit tee to get the band, "delivered tho goods." . The long parade of school children was indeed an inspiring sight and our only regret is that every girl and boy in Kershaw county could not take part in it and rally around the standard of education? "Were I so tall to reach tho pole Or grasp the ocean with my span, I must bo measured by my soul The minds the standard of the man." For Miss Paine. Miss Catherine Wallace was the charming hostess at ? an enjoyable bridge party Friday afternoon com plimenting Miss Beatrice Paine, whose marriage this week to Dr, Shepherd, of Spartanburg, has been of- cordial interest to...

Chester's high school fa- I cilities have been immensely over- J taxed and the erection of this addi tional structure will be a wonderful step forward for the schools, which under the able leadership of Prof. M\ R. Prockman, superintendent, are ac complishing excellent work. The quality of Our Fruit Cake can not be excelled, as we use only the best, freshest and most expensive fruis and nnts. ?

The vessel which was reported at that time 60 miles off the Virginia capes has not been heard from since by coast guard officials here, and they had no information as to the nature of the illness. Wood Simpson, alleged veteran moonshiner, staged a spectacular es cape from "Little Cuba," an island in Savannah river, near Smith's ferry, 20 miles from Anderson, when he fled from a party of county and pro hibition officers operating jointly and made his escape by rolling over several hundred feet of rugged shoals that held the officers' boat so that they could not follow. Simpson arose at the foot of the falls, his clothing badly tattered and disapper ed in a clump of brushes on the river] bank. A 70-gallon distillery in full blast, 12 gallons of liquor, 300 gal lons of beer and Eugene Hardy, Simpson's companion, were takers in the raid. Simpson has been in a number of whiskey escapades, accord ing to officers, having recently com pleted a year and a day for manu facturing. Bishop R. G.

Means, well known negro barber of Columbia, took his oSvn life Wednesday morning shortly after 10 o'clock by shooting himself in the head with a pistol. The fatal shot was fired in nis roo mon the second floor of his home, 705 Blanding street, while no one was in the house oxcept himself. Ill health is supposed to have been the cause of the deed, witnesses tes~ tlfying at the coroner's inquest that Means had been somewhat despondent for nearly a month on this account. No financial trouble was mentioned and, to the contrary, the witnesses said they did not think Means was in trouble of this nature. Dr. W. I). Wright, Langley, S. physician, is dead and T. B. Fletcher, of Augusta, is at a hospital suffering from painful bruises as the result of an automobile accident at Johnston's crossing, on the Southern railway to Aiken county, , Monday. The train demolished the automobile. Secured an Acquittal, Attorney M. L. Smith was in Beau fort last week where he represented Ralph Brown, a young furniture dealer, charged with the murder of T. P. Li Bettison, an aged furniture dealer. The verdict of the jury was an acquittal for the young man. The plea was self defense, Bettison being struck in the head with a revolver while engaged in a difficulty with the yoUng man." Tho murder at the time attracted a great deal of atten tion because of a mass meeting of citizens being held on account of the fact that Sheriff J. H. Bailey did not incarcerate the young man in jail. The matter was taken before the grand jury and the grand jury reported a truer bill against the sher iff at the naitoe term of court at which Brown secured his acquittal. Sheriff Bailey wan charge^ with general inefficiency.
