I ,M1U I sheriff K. B. Williams died his home in Camden on Sunday nt "/dock' in the afternoon. He was '.ixiy- -seven years of age on -Wednes day,' the 24th day of September, 1924. He was born shortly before the War of Secession in the Harmony section Ket&haw County, and in his boyhood days, he, in eommon with the youth of the vSouth, Mill f red the deprivations in vi(U-nt to Southern families whose fining men were engaged in -that awful struggle. His education was to ? large extent neglected when his keen and alert mind would have been mo A benefitted had he been given a chance U> acquire that knowledge which is now so easily obtainable. In spite of his handicaps, he as a young man went to Arkansas and made good in that then wild and un ? tHTls 'd" country _u'ntil. he wa? strickc.i w.jth ma larial fever, and had to come home a seemingly physical wreck. However, he regained his' health and in Ridgeway, South Carolina, ob tained a position of trust in the mer cantile world. Here he labored for sometime and then engaged in farm ing and school teaching. In 1892 he took unquestionably the most fortu nate step in his eventful career. He married Miss Etta Isbell, a charming and accomplished young lady of West Wateree. He was elected sheriff of Kershaw county in 1892 and Worthily served his people for a period of eight years. As an officer he- was fearless and Just. -When he saw his duty he had the moral courage to do it irrespect ive of what the consequences might he. He was a worthy brother in the " Masonic Fraternity and was a Knight of Pythias. He leaves surviving him his wife and ihree children: Mrs. James Gan dv, of Charlotte, N. C.; Marion B. Williams,' of Camden; and Claude ? Williams, of Raleigh, N. C., ? all of whom reflect high credit on their pa rents. His funeral services were held in the Methodist church in Camden, on Tuesday morning at eleven o'clock, Kev. W. H. Hodges officiating, being assisted by Rev. J. P. Graham, of the Baptist church. A large and repre sentative assemblage of the people | uf Camden and the surrounding coun try were there to mourn the loss of it friend and honor the memory of a prominent citizen. The honorary pall hearers were: G. T. Little, G. S. Higgins, Dr. W. J. Dunn, J. S. Lin - say. Dr. Frank M. Zemp, B. B. : Harke, C. W. Birchmore, and A. B. Uabon. The active pall bearers were : .1. H.

ThYoughout the United Slabs lovers of baseball have watched w't^ keen interest tin- rxriting linish in both the National, and American leagues, and nowhere has the jntereit been keener than in Camden. Most of the local people are happy that Washington won and Washington, will be the favorite during the coming world.. series. Quite a number of Camden fans will motor to Washing ton and some will go by rail for the opening game in Washington Satur day. The Associated Press has the' following under date of September 30th, relative to Washington's prep arations for the crowds: New York, September 30.? -Wash lg ton's sensational victory in the. American League has stirred base ball fandom to unprecedented en thusiasm in the fight which the Sena tors will start for the v^orld's cham^ pionship with the New York Giants next. Saturday in the national capital. Officials of each club after a long conference today with Commissioner KenneSaw Mountain Landis, disclosed that they are being flooded with re quests for reservations from all parts of the country. The commissioner, who conferred with President Charles A. Stoneham, of the Giants, and Sec retary K. 14. Kvnon, Jr., of the Sena tors, to perfect arrangements for the series, also voiced his opinion that "unparalleled interest is being shown." Only the fact that Washington's American League park is unable to match the capacity of the Yankee stadium will prevent the shattering of the records for attendance and re ceipts established in the million dol lar series of 1923, officials declared. "All of Washington, most of Mary land, Virginia and other parts of the South want to see the Senators battle the Giants," declared Mr. Eynon, ??and oar club faces a formidable task in trying to squeeze the multi tude of ticket sefckers into space which probably will be limited to 37,000, even with additions we will provide." Commissioner Lahdis displaye. characteristic enthusiasm ovei the prospect for the series which, for the first time since he became diamond dictator, will involve a club outside of New Yoik. The gray-haired commissioner fan sticks to neutrality, but, warming up to the outlook, today, he predicted it would be a "ripping series.". He left for Washington this afternoon to take part in the home-coming cele bration planned in the capital for the Senators tomorrow. Wall Street's interest in the forth coming baseball classic was shown today in reports of wageiing on e outcome, with even money generally prevailing. Several wagers were re ported-, 'however, with the Senators as slight favorites, in one instance, .$1,800 to $1,500 being offered and quickly covered on the basis they would win. With Walter Johnson slated to twirl the first game for Washington, several bets were made at 3 to 2 that he would lead the Am eriean Leaguers to victory. Meanwhile, the board of strategy of both teams are mapping out their campaign. While the Senators gen erally are credited with possessing the more formidable hujling corps, but! t around the veteran Johnson. Giant supporters believe McGraw will have unexpected strength in the box. They point out that the Senators' mound staff showed unmistakable sign* of strain in (he closing weeks of the American In-ague /act*, when the club's batting strength pulled it throUgh, whereas tho Giants' hurlers ? chiefly Xehf, Bentley, McQuillan and Barnes ? finished with impressive exhibitions when everything was at stake. BertfJtrnin Connors Dead. Bennie Connors, a well known co! ; orod cappenter of. .this city, died sud denly last Thursday night at his home near the Seaboard passenger station, after a very short illness. | Connors had worked at the carpen ter trade here for many years and i was considered one of the most indus trious meu of his race.

This wTll be something new in Camden and is certain to be a popular addition to the"1 entertainment features at ,the Fair. Eve^y merchant in Camden handling anything in the clothing line will be given an opportunity to par ticipate in this show, and no limit will bp made as to the number of models shown. The old Court House will be the scene of- this beautiful event, and the night of November 20th will be the date. The plans icall for the exhi bition of beautiful hats and garments, with local girls as models. A strong committee has been ap pointed to work up this show and is as follows: Sam Karesh, chairman; M rs. G. L. Blackwell, Mrs. A. M? McLeod, Mrs. Cora Ancrum, Miss Leila Shannon, Leonard Schenk,- Her man Baruch. This committee will need the cooperation of every mer chant in Camden, and it will be nec essary that the young ladies of Cam den cheerfully take part when called on. Other features of the Fair are be ing worked out, and the entire county is being solicited for exhibits, in cluding home, farm, school and club work. We believe that the 1024 Fair will be the best in our history. Hotel Management Changes. Following the sudden departure of the former managers of the Commer cial Hotel in this city the hotel has remained closed for several days, but is to be reopened under new man agement immediately. Mrs. John H.' Clarke, who has been conducting a private boarding house at her resi dence on LaFayette avenue, now has the management of the Commercial, and will operate it along lines far different from the former manage ment. Mrs'. Clafke is a most estima ble lady, having the confidence of the people of Camden, where she has made her home for many years, and no doubt will receive a liberal share of the transient people. The former managers of this hotel left town suddenly early Sunday morning, at the same time leaving many unsettled accounts made during their stay in Camden. Services at Presbyterian Church Rev. Edwin Muller has returned from his vacation and services will be held in the Camden Presbyterian Church Sunday morning at eleven o'clock. The public is extended a cor dial invitation to attend.

Only six hits were registered off Fuller. Ulrich and Hcit man. but the visiting outfield ~ was kept busy with eight putouts. Dod smr's single, Graham's error and Klein's double accounted for the only tally of the game.

She has that love for books so necessary to success in a business of this kind, and discusses books and authors with customers in an intelli gent and interesting way. While Camden welcomes all new business, ! this sljop should receive her especial support, as, incidentally, Miss Boy kin has set out to prove that the yowig people trf-Camden may achieve success at home.

As the principal speaker of the evening, Dr. D. W. Daniel, of Clemson College, has been selected, and has accepted the invita tion. This is the third year that the Chamber of Commerce has tried to get Dn Daniel, but in past years other engagements have conflicted, and we are especially fortunate to have him this year.

Itighnm, on a charge of murder in connection witn the killing of. Mrs. Bigham, her son, Smiley, her daughter, Mrs. Margie Hlack,; and Leo#and John McC'racken, adopted children of Mrs. Black. The defendant displayed interest, but no emotion as the bullet pierced skull of his mother was shown to the jury |>y Dr. X. B. Finklea, of Hymen, Florence county, Vbo with other phy sicians exhumed the body last week, three and a half years, after the trag edy that fcoSt five lives ;s I the Hic ham home near l'ampfico, January Dr. Fiiiklca ]?'>t itusl that the bu-ll.et" entered one inch to the rear attd one inch above the rar, rauged' downward and came ou*. !>??;. r '.he juncture of the left jaw bono uiid the skull. Its course, he said, curried it thro.ugh.the medulla < ' longala. Answering "a question by A.tovney F'nillip Arrow smith, assisting Solicitor 'Casque, Dr. , Finklea deelareM, in his opinion, Mrs. Bigham could neither have walked .'?nor talked after having been wound ed as indicated by the. skull. Mei&fel L. Smith of defense uounsel cross-examined the* witness. Dr. Fink lea said that the body was in a good state of preservation when dug from the ground. The head was cut off. the hair and all external matter1 scraped^ off and the skull boiled for cleansing, he stated. Dr. J. S. Dusenbury of Conway cor roborated Dr. Finklea's testimony as to the course of the bullet and also expressed the opinion that the wound indicated ~ wouhP produce instant death. Jim Burch, negro, testified that Smiley and Edmund had words over the division of their work in connec tion with handling wood about two /weeks before- the tragedy. Smiley { warned Edmund, according to the witness, that he was not performing 'his duties satisfactorily ^nd that he thought of taking them over himself. "If you do that you won't do it long," Edmund retorted, Burch said. The witness said he spent the night of the tragedy at the Bigham home by request of Edmund. Speaking of the crime, the defendant said: "I wouldn't hate it so much if it had not been done with my jYistol," Burch said. Sherman Miles, negro wood cutter, testified he left Smiley and Edmund alone together in the woods about noon of the day of the killing. Andrew Singletary, negro, said ho went into the woods with Smiley on the day of the tragedy and left him there with Edmund. Later in the day he saw Edmund come out of the woods alone in front of the Bigham ?home. His wife, Hattie, corroborated Singletary's testimony about seeing the defendant coming out of the woods. Robert Foxworth, 50 year old negro told of a visit to his home by Ed mund Bigham, his wife and two chil dren on the afternoon of the killing*. It was during this absence from the Bigham home, the defense contended at the former trial, that the murders were committed. Foxworth said Bigham drove up to his home, about one half mile from the Bigham place, at a high speed and left again in a few moments. All he said, the witness testified, was "Uncle Robert, arc you going to haul that wood for me." After Foxworth I replied in the affirmative Bigham and his wife drove off, the witness said.
