HOLDS RESPONSIBLE POSITION i
Former Camden Man Now With
Large Shipbuilding Concern.
The following taken from -"Motor
Boating," a magazine published in
the interest of motor and steam
ships, will be of interest to Camden
people. Mr. Carrison, mentioned in
the article, is a so/i of Mr. and Mrs.
II. G. Carrison, of this city. When
it is know that .this concern produc
ing the gyroscopic boats is capitalized
at more than fifteen million dollars,
it will be seen that this important
position to which Mr. Carrison has
been *y;sjgned, is a distinct compli
ment to his ability and his friends
here arc glad to know of his success:
New Diesel Engine Ready Soon.
"Announcement has been made
that the compound type Diesel engine
invented by Elmer A. Sperry, the in
ventor of the Gyroscopic ships sta
bilizer and the Gyro-compass, as !
well as numerous other wonderful
mechanical devices, is to be manufac
tured and produced in quantities at
the largo plant of the Newport News
Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company,
Newport News, Va. The production
and distribution of these machines
is to be under the direct personal
charge of D. J. Carrison of the Oil
Engine Division of this company.
This engine is to be fabricated in
sizes ranging from 20 to 200 h. p.
The weights of the machines will be
kept at about fifty pounds per
horse-power, while the fuel consump
tion will not exceed one half pound
of furl oil per h. p. h. The operating !
principle of this machine is such that '
there ave two high pressure cylinders
operating on the four stroke cycle,
while the intermediate low pressure
cylinder operates on the two stroke
cycle using the exhaust from the
high pressure cylinders in turn. Re- ,
markable efficiencies have been
found with these machines and ;
their production will shortly be un- !
dcr way."

Minstrels Played To a
Large Local Audience
If a packed hyuscj, good music,
catchy jokcK, fin# acting, epec^l
dancing, hearty laughter, and loud
and continuoun applause count for
success, the minstrel-given under the
auspices of the' local Post American
Legion at the opera house Friday
evening was certainly a success.
? , mum_f m+m. jm
It was perhaps the largest crowd
that has ever assembled there on a
like occasion and Wo believe that
every one felt fully repaid for going.
Mrs. Leon Schlosburg as musical
director was entirely at home, she is
a finished musician' haying gradu
ated from the Boston Conservatory
with honors. The violinist, Mr. D.
Bockener, did not fail to please.
Where all acquitted themselves so
well it is hardly fair to make special
mention of anyt But we cannot re
frain from throwing bouquets- to the
end ladies in black, Misses Olive
Rhame in, "Lonesome Mamma
Blues;" Josephine Aloxander, in
"Hot Lips;" Miss Bateman in "Don't
Send Me Posies;" and Mrs. Rdwin
Buddin in, "Coal Black Mammy,"
and the dance that accompanied it.
And we also throw flowers to the
end men, in black, Messrs. Hollis
Cobb, Smyrl Ilalsall, Ernest Zemp,
and Theodore Jacobson are worthy of
special mention.
Miss Mary Black well pleased the
audience with her. recitation and
Messrs. G. T. Little and Roland
Goodale's dancing brought down the
house, while "Western Union" Dick
son, as a "Female Impersonator" was
"the hit" of the evening. Messrs.
Bissell Kennedy and Clifton McKain
in their two vocal selections added the
touch of dignity and sentiment that
rounded up the splendid programme.
The finale was "The Star Spangled
Banner enthusiastically sung by the
song birds: Misses Aubrey Beattie,

It would not be fair to fail to men
tion Mr. "Deep C." Green who was
the producer and who also took part
in the performance. The whole com
pany showed the effects of his care
ful training, and as will be seen by a
notice published in another place sf
many* were turned away on accouir
of the house not being able to accom
modate them the minstrel will be re
peated next Monday night, when thej'
will no doubt again have a largi
house.

Death of Mis? Edna Kelley.
Friends throughout the county
were grieved to hear of the death
of Miss Edna Kelley, which occurred
at the home of Dr. William R. Cly
burn last Friday night. She had
been in failing health for some time
and had recently been removed from
the hospital to Dr. Clyburn's home,
as she was seemingly better, but
death came suddenly and unexpected
ly Friday night. Miss Kelley was the
sister of the late Mrs. L. L. Cly
burn and lived in Captain Clyburn's
home for many years and was en
deared by the tenderest of ties, the
ties of faithful service and unselfish
devotion. A real sorrow has come
into, their lives with the passing of
this good woman, a wom^n whose
watch word was "duty" and whose
every bought was for those she loved.
A kindly heart and generous hand
made many friends for her alonff
life's rugged road and these friend*
will long cherish and keep her mem
ory green. The funeral services were
conducted at Westville by the pas
tor of the Westville Baptist church
and she was laid to rest in the family
plot at that place.
Preached From l?nusual Text.
Rev. Edwin Muller at the Presby
terian church la^t Sunday preached
from an unusual trxt "And the Eldor
Son Was in the Field." It was the
parable of the Prodigal Son and as
the speaker said he had never heard
but two sermons from this parable
where the elder son was spoken of.
The speaker likened the elder son to
the pharisee and his sermon furnish
ed much food for thought. Dr. Mul
icr Is an earnest preacher and always
delights his hearers.
Former Camden Lady
Dead at Laurens, S> C.
l .... '
l*aurens, Jan. 14.? -Mm. Alice Nel
son Smith i Mai. wife of Dr. W, H.
Dial, mayor of IjAurens, died shortly
after 12 o'clock last flight at the fam
ily residence on West Main street.
Mrs. Dial had been in declining
health for more than a year, during
which time she was under treatment
at different interval* at John tiopkinn
and other hospitals. However, for
he past few months she had regained
her health sufficiently to be out
much of the time. About a week
ago she suffered an attack of influ
enza, which developed into pneumo
nia Wednesday night.
According to plans arranged today,
the body will be taken tomorrow to
Kock Hill, her former home, for bu
rial.
Before her first marriage, which
was to A. K. Smith, of Rock Hill,
she was Miss Alice Nelson, a member
of a prominent South Carolina fam
ily. Subsequent to the death of Mr.
Smith, she was married to Dr. Dial
of Laurens about 11 years ago.
Mrs. Dial was a member of the
First Methodist church of Laurens
and was an active and prominent
worker in the different religious and
civic organizations of the church and
of the city. Her death is a serious
loss to the community. Mrs. Finley
Matthews of Asheville, and L. Nelson
of Kershaw, are among the sisters
and brothers surviving her. The
stepdaughters and stepsons include
the wife of Dr. J. L. Marshall of
Greenwood; Mrs. Chiles Calhoun of
Darlington; Miss Lula Dial, teacher
in the city schools at Statesville, N.
C.; Albert Dial, W. Hastings Dial,
Moore Dial, J. Carlisle Dial and
Frank Dial.
Mrs. Dial was the daughter of the
late Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Nelson. She
was born and reared in Camden and
as Miss Alice Nelson is still re
membered here for her unusual
beauty of person and character, a
beauty that did not diminish with
the passing years. The friends of her
early years often met her at the
State Conventions of the different
civic and patriotic organizations,
where she graced positions of dignity
and importance. Friends in her na
tive town and county will regret to
hear of her death.
