VICTORY CLUB MKMHKKS Thirty Htatfn Have Joined in For Democratic 8ucce*a Thi# War. '1 wo years a go Judge CflfflftU Hull, Chairman of the Dcmopratic National Committee, had a wonderful vision of .What must lx- done to bring Demo* era tie Wet? ry in 1924. He know wo could carry the nation in November if we made the right kind of fight, but to win on election day an effective organization would be necessary. To wait until after the national ticket had tx?en named would be too late. IJe had learned from bitter experience that il is next to impossible for the Democrat# to elect a president in a two months' campaign. To perfect luch an organization required not only hard work, but money and the wolf wax at the door of the Demo cratic National Committee. All that the chairman had was the "will" which said to him "keep on." One day, when things looked dark est a letter came from an old friend up in the mountains of Tennessee which read as follows: ' "Dear Cordelia ? All of uh down here are mighty proud to know you are chairman of the National Com mittee, and we feel that we will elect a Democrat for President in 1924. I want you to take the enclosed $5 and use overy cent of it if necessary. There are a lot moro down hero who will give $r> too if you need it." Chairman Hull wired his old moun tain friend: "Organise your neigh bors into a Democratic Victory Club." In two weeks' tiino he received $95 from nineteen other Democrats who contributed $6 each. That is how the "National Democratic Victory Club" idea originated. Today there are Victory Clubs in thirty states. Each member pays $5 dues. The money is being used for a comprehensive campaign of educa tion end organization throughout the country. It is the intention of the national headquarters to keep in touch with tho Victory Club members, supplying them individually with up-to-date political facts and literature. Chair man Hull has other plans, not yet thoroughly worked out, by which he expects to co-operate with and use the organization. He believes that a Democrat can do his party no greater service than to join a, Victory Club and make it possible for us to say truthfully that the party of the people is sustained by the people and not by privileged interests. M iss Minnie Clyburn is president of the Victory Club in Camden and she invites all good Democrats who want to have a part in and invest as much as $5 in national Democratic victory to communicate with her. A partial membership list is given . below. Later on tho full roster of the organi zation will bo given: L. O. Funderburk, W. K. DeLoache, John S. Lindsay, T. L. Little, W. B. deLoach, .lames If.

South Caro lina pension* for Confederate veter ans will be ready for distribution May t, according to H. F. Jackson, pension clerk in the office of the comptroller general. The money may possibly be distributed to the counties befor^ May 1, stated Mr. Jackson. Not all the counties have sent in their pension list*, Mr. .Jackson said, an ft 'UfHil they do so the pension lists cannot be completed?" The pensiorl of fice is at work on the lists now. Tho state is paying out this year $7.r)0,000 in pensions as against $<300, 000 last year. The twenty-five per cent increase was authorized by the 1921 legislature, and the rolls are about the same as last year, each pensioner will receive approximately 25 per rent moro money than he re ceived last year. Some names have been added to the lists and at the Hiimc time some are off the lists. An act was passed this year allow ing pensions to negroes who served the Confederacy as body servants or camp cooks. Pensions for those who served as laborers were eliminated. While May 1 has been set as the date for the pension distribution, says Mr. Jackson, delays on the part of county officials in furnishing lists may delay to some extent the dis tribution of the fund. Philip Lieberman, internationally known counterfeiter, has b?-en sen tenced from a Federal court in Brook lyn, N\ V., to serve fourteen years and nine months in the Frder..! prfson in Atlanta.

President. another account ;of wbkck Lee County Piper S|>e?k? in High; ' Term* of Unfortunate Men. Four Hwhopville bfcya ' cilfte nv?r oiing their live# early on Sunday morning' when the Cadillac sedan in .vhieh they were riding collided with i .Seaboard freight train on the out ikirts of Camden. Hodge* Moore, Jack Heaven, Julian McLendon and Willard Hearoti we re >n their way to Hock Hill to spend Sunday. The car .belonging to his father, was driven by Willard Hearon at the time of the accident. A number of people from here went to Camden early Sunday morning as the news of the accident spread and from information obtainable at the time and later development# it seems that the boys left Bishopville shortly after midnight, enroute to Rock Hill. They say that they were going at a very moderate speed, at ho time [ex ceeding 30 miles an hour, and Mr. Hearon states that he does not be lieve the car was going over 10 miles an hour when It -struck the third box car of the train, which likewise was going slow. This statement is borne out by the fact that the front bumper of the car in still intact, all four wheels were standing, and not even a glass on the left side of the car was broken, although the top was torn off. ? ? Hodges Moore was thrown under the train, and his right arm was so badly mangled by the train, that am putation was necessary as soon as he reached a local hospital. Jack Heaves was badly hurt about the back, shoulders and arm. Both of the other boys were bruised and scratched, Julian McLendon getting] off the lightest of the four, although both Mr. McLendon and Mr. Hearon were able to return to Bishopville after the accident. Where the track crosses the high way at the point of the accident is only a short distance from a very! deep curve, and the young men state j that they did not see any light from I the engine until after the train had 1 made the curve, and even then did not think it was a train on account of the very dim light. They say that the windows of the car were open on one side and are positive that if the whistle had blown or the bell had( been ringing they would have heard it. ? v'~" Mr. Hearon says that just as soon as he was conscious of the fact->that a train was nearing the crossing he applied the brakes with all his power, and attempted to cut the car*\o the left side of the road hoping to run1 into a small post which would help to stop, but everything happened so quickly ho was unable to prevent the accident. The next morning R. C. Hearon went to Camden to sec what could be done with the car, and without dif-J ficulty cranked up the engine and could have driven it to town, but for the fact that the radiator had been torn off and the engine heated up. The latest reports from the hos pital in Camden where Jack Rofcves and Hodges Moore are patients, are to tho effect that both aro doing well under the circumstances, and it is hoped that no complications will set ; in. Julian McLendon and Willard I Hearon arc both in Bishopville and are recovering from their bruises and j the shock. These' young men, all well known in Bishopville, are steady young fel lows who attend to their own affairs, and their friends regret their mis fortune. Young Moore, who lost his right arm about half way between the wrist and the elbow, for sometime has been employed in the store of C. E. McLendon, and tho misfortune which has befallen him has brought expressions of sympathy and regret from the lips of nearly every one in Bishopville. He is an industrious young man, polite, courteous and agreeable at all times. Mr. McLen don, his employer, speaks of him in highest terms, and what is now a life's handicap for him is distressing to his friends.? Bishopville Messenger i Who Blames the Cow? i The Bamberg Herald says: I Coymirts Myers, young white man of Blackville, is at an Augusta hos pital in a serious condition as the result of injuries received late Satur day afternoon when he was hurt in a most peculiar manner. He was rushed to Augusta for medical aid. According to information received here, the man was attempting to drive a cow into a pasture, using a pitchfork to prod the animal. A kick from the cow turned the handle end of the fork on Myers, it striking him in the abdompn and enuring serious injuries. The marriage of Hon. John F. A.

These clubs are met once a month by the Home Demonstration Agent and planned work given. This year Miss Boyd has secured splendid co-operation from all the school authorities and has had regulsr periods in the school programs. All the girls club work has been done during the school hours and of course with this fine spirit of co-operation the clubs ought to be better. The women are just as progressive, they are making year books, giving demon strations, planning programs, and be coming real leaders. Mrs. Hugh McCullum, who hss had special training at Winthrop College in poultry work has kindly consented to take charge of two poultry clubs in the county. She is a fine local leader and gives~good demonstrations in poultry work. A demonstration was given by her at a Home Demon stration Club meeting not very long ago and one of our state workers was present at the meeting and she ?aid it was one of the best she had ever seen -given in the state by a local leader. A large amount of poultry work is being done in Kershsw County this year and of ronr?? thin means better poultry for our county. The culling campaign will be held in September this year as it was last year. Jennie V. Boyd, Home Demonstration Agent. Boy Burned to Death. ? Marion, April 23. ?
