AUGUST 5 Keeping only the favoritea* and principle players, Billroy*s Comedians "The Greatest Show on Earth for the Money," which plays here Saturday, August 6, bring to Camden the great* est array of musical comedy talent that this wonderful show has ever carried. Instead of playing a week's engagement they will play for one night only and have combined a full week's entertainment into one night of grand, glorious fun and beautiful girls, girls, girls! The play itself Is a brand new one, never ofered here before and all the vaudeville acts are new. Bob Fisher and his Palais Roy ale Band, "The Hottest Music since Nero Fiddled," has been enlarged ana will play a thirty minute concert ber fore the regular show. The Billroy management states they are carrying so many girls you "can't count 'em all" and fifteen vaudeville acts, in cluding "Rusty" Scott, one of Ameri ca's greatest blackface comedians and late A1 G. Field minstrel star. An other big feature is Norman Hinkle, "The Whispering . Troubadour/* known to practically all radio fans. Johnny Finch, buck and wing dancer, a girl harmony singing act, musical acts, novelty acts, dancing acts and the famous Billroy Beauty Chorus are with the show this year, also the two leading favorites, Miss Marion Roberts and handsome Wayne Bart lett. A valuable new addition to the show this season is Jimmy Stone, Broadway musical comedy star. Miss Patsy Ly9n8, "The Queen of Blues Singers," is also with the show, as is Kitty Watkins, last year's favorite toe dancer. All in all, there are sixty five people with the show and where as space does not permit us to list all the attractions with the show, we are sincere in our belief that those who attend Billroy's Comedians in their big tent theatre here next Saturday, August B will be delightfully sur prised and royally entertained Furthermore, all ladies accompanied by one paid adult ticket will be ad mited absolutely free. The big tent will be pitched at Broad street, rear of Post Office.

REMOVAL OF COTTON IS NOW UNDER WAY IN CAROLINA FIELDS Clemson College, July 24. ? Actual destruction of cotton as a result of the successful cotton acreage reduc tion campaign is now being authoriz ed in South Carolina under temporary permits being issued through county farm agents pending the arrival from Washington of the regular official permits, says D. W. Watkins, assis tant director of the Extension Ser vice. Those farmers who because of their plans for other use of the land cannot wait for the arrival of their regular permits from Washington may secure the special authority from the county agents, Mr. Watkins announces. Before certification can he made for payment of benefits, every ^row er cooperating in the campaign will have to show the local commiteemen and agents that he has taken gut the acreage offered when he signed, Mr. Watkins cautions. Figures tabulated through July 19, the las tday cotton offrrs were mailed to Washington, show for South Car olina that 433,311 acres of cotton have been offered the Secretary of Agriculture for destruction in the campaign now being waged for that purpose, says D. W. Watkins, assis tant director of extension in charge of the tabulations. The total number of separate offers received amounted to 69, 709 and the average estimated yield on all offers G. L.
