Sena tor E. D. Smith: "Whteree Messenger, Camden, South Carolina. I have accepted invitation to ex plain my s*aw?dment to Reconstruct ion Act providittg two hundred mil lion dollars for farm loan purpose in a radio addrem over Dixit Network of Columbia Broadcasting System in cluding WBT Charlotte on Thursday J night eight forty-five to nine oclock." ?? '\ ;.^V v . Associated Charities Accomplish Much Good This issue of The Messenger brings us one week nearer to the "Drive" that is being put on by The Associat ed Charities. We make one appeal yearly and it is most important to the people of this county that enough funds are provided that_the Association may operate at least on the same scale as last year. There was collected last year at the Annual Drive over $4500 and we must have at least this much to take care of the large number of applications for help this year. You will realize that The Associat ed Charities is the ohly organized in stitution in the County that takes care of all kinds of charity and pov erty, whether it is a man or woman stranded here while passing thru, ill ness, lack of work or any of the va rious causes of trouble and misery. Also the only Children's Home in Kershaw County. The county has neither an orphange nor a Poor Farm. It can be seen that The Associated Charities must operate under the most economical conditions as none of the management of this institution accept any salary or other compensa tion, so that all money entrusted to us must necessarily go directly to charity and not for any excessive so called "overhead" expenses. Our cannery this last year put up over 13,000 cans of fruit and vege tables, all of which was donated to us by our kind friends. The woodyard at the Home has giv en employment last winter and this, to many unemployed and in fact no food or other supplies are given out without payment by la'bor if the ap plicant is able to work. We therefore solicit your support and we hope that for the sake, of eur - many dependents you'Vill be M' liber al as possible. ? r. ' ?+'? ?

Mr. Barnes, years ago, was a resident of Kershaw County. He is now a successful and prominent druggist of Roanoke, Va. "The Wateree Messenger, Camden, S. C. Dear Good FViendS: Here is the money to renew my sub scription to the Messenger for an other year. My present subscription will expire on the second of February* a date that is easy to remember due to the fact that it is "C round Hog Day." Most Roanokers know that day, and many Roanoke people, as well as some from distant cities, members and invited guests mther, make speeches and "wise crack" in the presence of one or more captive groundhogs. The local newspapers generally lead up to it a few days before the event, and if you believe what you read in the papers, you will learn that the celebration originated in Roanoke. Ground Hog Club of America No. I is the name under which it is know. I am delighted with your promise to feature "40 years ago" and feel suro that all "old timers" will enjoy tihis weekly treat, and eagerly look for ward to the arrival of the Messen ger. The initial appearance last week car ried the names of a younger sister ami brother in the school grade re ports. A still younger sister who is rw>w a grandmother, seems to have escaped the report. She was a begin ner at that time. I am glad yen have added this feature, and wish you success. This feature will be of double value and Interest to me, as it will bring to mind and refresh my memory of the patience and diliegnce, the early straggles and successes* and the numerous activities sf my erteemed good friend, the late lamented C. W. Blrchmore. Bincerely, H. C. BARNES." ,
