Crawford Arnett is now filling his first te?m as Judge of Probate for Kershaw County. He assumed his duties today. Mr. Arnett suc ceeds L. Rex Jones, whom he defeated in a run-off primary run in Septem ber. In some manner Mr. Amett's name along with the names of the four county directors was omitted from the General Election ticket and a special election had to be ordered to confirm tho nomination of these officers, which was held January 22nd. Mr. Arnett is a native of Virginia, born at Louisa, Virginia, March 8, 1884, the son of the late Julius C. Arnett, of Louisa, Virginia and his wife, the former Iihoda Yancey Crawford, now of Onancock, Virginia, both of Southern families, many of whose members have occupied polit ical positions in local, state and na tional capacities, particularly in Vir ginia and Georgia. His early educa tion was obtained first in the locally famous Halley High School and from private instructors, and as a young had reportorial experience on a coun ty newspaper. He came to Camden ' first in October, 1906. His first work here was as freight and passenger agent for the Seaboard Air Line Rail way; later he was assistant cashier of the Loan and Savings Bank and was also Secretary of the Hermitage Cotton Mills. In later years he has been engaged in real estate work, where he and his associates develop ed much valuable property in the community. On July 11, 1907 he was married to Mrs. Rosa Truesdale McCallum, ' member of a prominent and widely connected family, and he and his wife have both been prominently identified with social, religious and business life of this community. Mr. Arnett made the race for the office four years ago and was de feated by the narrow margin of 89 votes and his marginal record in the late primary was 10G votes. Ilia previous office experience in various capacities, his knowledge of law, his business experience, coupled with a most pleasing personality and courteous manner will enable him to conduct the office in a most efficient manner and The Chronicle joins with his many friends in wishing him well. * IANK HOFFER CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY WITH VALENTINE PARTY Mrs. Jerome Hoffer gave a Valen tino buffet supper Saturday evening for her daughter, Jane, in clebration of Iter eleventh birthday anniversary.
