'.'I VOMJMIO XXV. < AMU10N. HO l 'Til CAROLINA. FAU>AY, I>K(KMIli;?l 10, I NIIMIIKOli :in. VMA, T<> TIJJS I'VVKMIOHH To Meet ttl Court Hou?a In Inh'mitil of Tolmcco Growing. A mo^wnont is on foot among aoveral of the planters of this boc^ lion to tfet the farmers of this coun ty interested in the gorwing of to bacco. Kecent reports, from the to bacco growing section of thin state shows thai a total of 33,299,501 pounds or the weed was rained In Urn Fee l>e?? eounties^ of this state, (iUUBlnK a total of $4,584,339.51 turned loose in the various markets of that section during what is con sidered the dull BoaBon In this sec tion. Several of the planters of this ? motion believe Btrongly that the landB of this /county will produce to bacco the same as those ofthe Pee Dee section. Mr. John T. Mackey of the First National Bank, of this city, has boen making some investigation of the methods of growing for his own farm and while talking aboqt It to uome friends, finds that quke a largo number of others are interest ed, and has issued a call to those farmers -of Kershaw county whom be thinks will take to the. idea to meet at the court house here tomor row and take some steps to go Into the raising on a small scale. Mr. Mackey has had quite an ex tensive correspondence with plant ers In the tobacco bolt, who have !urn^?#i him some interesting and valuable information along this line. One planter at Jesup, Ga., who tried the growing of tobacco on a small scale the past season sold his en tiro crop shipped to the Banner Warehouse, at Timmonsvllle, for $532.87. This was his first crop, weighing all told 3,356 pounds, mak ing an average price paid of 15.58 ? cents per pound. Another planter living on a Flor ence, s. C., rural route, sold his second curings all in one day at an average price of 26 l-2c per pound. The days sale was for a total of 7,162 pounds, bringing $1)899.98. He received about $250 per acre. Still another, a Darlington county planter, sold 25,902 pounds raised on 20 acres, the net sales amount ing to $6,192.12. He cleared over $5,000 on his twenty acres. Of course this man Is an exception, but he has made a small fortune raffing tobacco for the past eighteen years. * The state of South Carolina aver aged this year, 13.87 for everything raised in the state, and one of the f>eo Dee markets averaged 13.87 fior everything. This is from the sworn statements and reports corn filed by commissioner of agriculture E. J. WatBon. And a prominent to bacco man in writing says: '"The j ?utlook for prices for another yeah j and in fact for some time to come, is for a continuation of high prices. The demand seems to have steadily outgrown the supply for the past several yearfi." if you are interested in the move ment read the following letter from Mr. Mackey which is self explana tory, and attend the meeting at the court house tomorrow: Mr. Mackey's Tetter. Finding that quite a number of our farmers are thinking of plant ing tobacco next year, some of us bave thought It advisable to have a meeting of ajl interested, and If possible, get together on an agree ment whereby we can employ an ex porionced to,bacco man to come here and direct and advise us.. . You are requested to meet with us at the court house, Saturday, De oomber the 20th, at 12 o'clock. If a sufficient number will join so as to maka the cost per acre ?reasonable we think it would be well for us to get a good man and kave him "advise and direct each farmer as to planting seed bed, and ?n thru to the marketing of the ?rop. Each farmer would be ex pected to pay on the man's salary ?n a basis of the number of acres l?e plants. You will readily see that the ob ject of the meeting is to see if suf ficient acreage will be planted to justify employing an experienced *>an. Com? to the meeting if you want to plant some tobacco and wake it One 6f our staple money ?rops. If unable to he present ad vise us by Saturday morning how wiany acres of tobacco you will Plant, and that you will Join in with us. Speak to your neighbors and get *hem come to the meeting Saturday. It may mean much for th^mrmers ?f KSrshaw- County. . _ Yours truly, John T. Mackey. Total for 19l8.

Fire was discovered in a small room on the first floor of the hotel building last Friday night and had gained quite a bit of headway before the fire men reached the place. A good deal 'of the Turnltunrfrom the - low-, er floor was gotten out and some damage done by water. This being about the fifth time the building had taken, fire in the past few week Mr. Sullivan thought it unwise to remain longer and as notice had been given that the building was soon to be torn down, he thought it a good time to get away. < No one | bus as yet been able to account for I the numerous fires in the building. | THE RECENT GIFT TO THE CITY OF CAMDEN The ? Camden Hospital, recently opened, la quite imposing in appear ance. The main or administration building Is the large Colonial ? resi dence built many years ago by Thos. C. Halle, and used for the past fif ty years as a manse by the Presby terians of Camden. When Dr. Simon Baruch and his son, Mr. Bernard Baruch, of New York; TOndt? th^ir promise. tal for the city and community " It seemed *ery hard for a time to find a suitable location. Quite a number? of tho ,e most interested in the mat ter were struck with almost Ideal lo cation of the old manse for their purpose. The Presbyterian ^congre gation, wishing to help the good cause, agreed to take for the prop erty $1,600 less than -they, had re fused a short time before. It Is not likely that the property couTd Havir been bougbt for any other purpose, and -so the fine old house find large grounds passed Into the hands of the hospital committee. The architect and this committee of patriotic ckhtena with the advlee and approval of Dr. Simon Baruch and Mr* Bernard Baruch have oonv pletely transformed the old building wfeile retaining the beauty of its ar chltecture. The main building contains, on th ground floor, theBfree clinics foi* the white and colored, the waiting room reecption rooms, store rooms and offices The up-stairs contains the nurses' rooms and four private wards. Directly in the rear of the main building: and connected with It by a brick corridor is -the main operating this is, the '"public w?l*d' for white patients and two private wajrds, and on the north side, and identical in every particular of space and equipment are the wards , for colored people. The entire plant is equipped with the best modern appliances and a visiter is at once struck with the electric flashlight system invented and installed by an electric firm of Columbia.. The building contains 34 rooflis and Is steam tto&ted, the b earn being generated in a large bollqr in the basement. A laundry is also equipped in the basement as Is the kitchen.

Probably the most heroic- defense offered hkuIiihI the HrlUsh during the American devolution was hy t he I'arf lean leaders, Those were Houthern men Who felt ft their duty to defend their country even tho they wore not enlisted uu soldiers. Most of them hud no training in fighting, but tlxdr modern of warfare were very original and practical. They would usualjy fight in swamps and when the enemy was approaching they would give signs to each other hy making a noise 1 Ik'* h >tue animal, such as the hoot like an owl, chattor like a squirrel, or ho ream like a panther. Sometimes they would rush out unexpectedly and fight the British and If they ?aw that vlotory wuh Impossible, fighting uguinst such a Huporior number of inon, they would quietly withdraw Into the woodK again. The moat prominent of theuo par tisan leaders were Francis Marlon, Thomas Sumter and Andrew Pick ons. The first of these, Francis Ma rion, was born In 1732, In Berkoloy county. South (!aroliua.' Ho was said to be a man o? anmll stature and ugly, but brave and watchful. He and his few followers offered the only reslBtanco met with ih South Carolina, after the fall of Charleston In 1780. Marlon waB very rightly called the "Swamp Fox" by tho Hrltiuh. He possessed great gentleness and bravery and another adriiirablo quality shown by a little anecdote told about him. A British officer was sent to him to arrange about tho exchange of some prisoners. After finishing the bus nesB, he asked the officer to din ner which consisted only of roasted sweet potatoes. "Sqroly," naid the officer, "this is not. your usual fare." "Yes," re plied Marion with a smile, "and as w<o have company wo ha'vo a larger supply than usual." Tho officer re turned homo and resigned from the army, saying that, men who bo cheerfully suffered sfich .privations could not bo conquered. Thomas Sumter, another of the leaders was born in Virginia, in 17 36. \Vhen ho wuh young, he fought against the French and In dians and in this way was trained for his noblo work during tho Rev olution. ' He was an officer at the battle of Fort Moultrie, but a while after this ho returned' home on ac count of family trbiibles. While he wuh at home, IiIk daring and love of his country wore roused by tho out rages Committed by Tarl^ton thru out tho Sputh. At tlifa *}rtje he was living In South Carolina.*-' Ho left his homo and offered his services to Governor Rutledge, who gladly re ceived him and ordered him to gpt up all the troops he could find to defend his state. This ho did gal lantly, and his bold hobs and un daunted courage won many a battlo from tho merciless British, where a very cautious man would have lost. Our other partisan loader was An drew Pickens. This man was a mong the Scotch-Irish settlers, who came from Pennsylvania to South Carolina after the French and In dian war. He alBo rocelvbd train ing fighting against the Clferokeo Indians. Then after the Revolution began, some of tho Indians wore per suaded by the British to fight the Americans. Pickens at once gath ered a few men with such rude wea pons that they could find and (ha rangued tho savages until they made peace with them lie was always, noted for his courage and coolness and this helped him in fighting the 4>arba reus Indians. Ho lived in a~ section of South Carolina where the* poople wore not united against the British but ho influenced them great ly along this lino. However, he grew discouraged hlmsolf, after Char leston waa taken, and was induced to join the British. He regretted having done this after the success of Marion and Sunitor, but as he had pledged to fight f or thei British, he kept up to it. While he was away from home a troop of Lioyalistt* plun dered his home. He considered 'the ipledge broken by this and. determin ed to fight again for the Patriots, even tho the British told him if he were captured' after this he would bo hanged. It was well that he did come over to this side for it was partly, by his coolneess and bravery that the battle of Cowpens and ma ny small skirmishes were won. Af ter the war, he held many positions in the state and was governor - la 1816. We are reminded of these noble men by the names of . towns and counties in many states called after them.
