Clean-up Wook in Camden ifi roeeiv iuir flu enthusiastic aupport of the Camden and Korahaw County thara-v bor of Commerce, and the waek from \ ),< ii 30th to May 8th, Inclusive, ih coiner to show a differ*, ape in Cam In President V, H. Harding and hU hoard of hustling director* and our commercial secretary a?* puttm* their forces and influence back o* the Camden Civic Leagiio in this impor tant nation-wide movement becayad Clean up Week is *oi by any means, m purely local affair or innovation in Camden. but is recogniaed throughout the country aa tho right ' thing for every progressive^ intelligent and h?4ilthful community to do. A , . ? Mayor Garrison, his associates on the Camden City Councils t)ie local department of health, city health of-, fleer. and every department of our efficient city government will cooper ate with the Camden Civic Leagud ladies in Clean-up Week. Eyery city Pernod upon modern sanitary prin yiples has its spring cleaning ih the ? ffort to prepare for the more or less sickly summer months. A practically incmquitoicBs and flyless ,city which can be surely made of Camden by . muerted effort? a clean city, a city devoid of foul smells and polluted at mosphere ? removal of all perishable and decaying rubbish-^-a clean, neat looking city, and a "City Beautiful" are the very l>est legitimate and far reaching1 methods of publicity any ? itv, town or community can possibly have. Kvery intelligent and progressive* citizen of Camden, rich , or poor : in worldly goods, old or young, white or colored* male and female/ tfco boys >uul girls as much as any one. else, can help to make Camden a more desira ble place in which to live as desirable us it is now, and as beautiful as- Cam den is recognized to be.- Suppose wo all make up our minds to make Cam-, den " a good place to visit ? a better place to live, the very best place for you", and every one else. Will those kind of words truthfully written andi spoken about Camden mean anything to our city? If we could lions of citizens in thousands of othor . ities. towns and villages thrpughout the United States, that are to take part in National Clean-up Week ? cities large and small, what they think about it they would answer yes. The enterprising ladies of the Cam d*n Civic League are" not asking Cam den citizens to do anything in co-op < -rating in Clean-up Week that is peeuliar to Camden or peculiarly nec e^pavy in Camden, South Carolina. They are simply requesting Camden it?'.s to do what thousands of other places will he doing by concerted na ' ion -wide action, at the same time ? make this great nation physically and hygienically a cleaner nation in so far as sanitation goes. It is rio more re dection on the culture or cleanliness of a city to have a clean up' week than it is for an individual to take a hath, get a shampoo, , hair . cut, ' or "have or to have his clothing laun dered. In fact most people would be glad to let it. be known that they are cleanly in personal hygiene. Why shouldn't they? Would any one like it thought of them that they are not cleanly in their persons or habits? (."lean-up Week is an indication of progressivenes in u nation, State, < ounty or community. Burn up every hit of burnable rubbish, bury what you can, and pile, up for city scaven ger carts what you can't burn or bury, give the homes a thorough cleaning' and airing? and then turn over to the boys all the tin cans and <?ther water-holding, mosquito-breed in? receptacles, fill in water holes, i lean out and remove fly-breeding manures and other fly-breeding mat ter. The ladies of tho Camden Civic League are putting themselves to much trouble and are giving much of their valuable time for the greatest tfood to the greatest number nil of the time. In their nutvonal ( 'lean-up week they are striving to a very great good for ? very man, woman and boy and girl in Camden. They deserve the unanimous co operation of every man, woman, boy and girl and of every enterprise, or ganization business establishment, and all of Camden in Clean-up Week. The Chamber of Commerce needs Camden's Clean-Up Week as a publicity feature to show that camden is in line with the rest of the United States in such matters of sanitation, and the "City Beautiful" plans of progres.sivenes.

The patrons and pupils of the .Boy* kin school wish to thank their friend*! who ao generously took P^rt in andi contributed to the Horse Show, which wa? held near Boykin Mill on Satur day, April 21st. Many fine horaea were ahrown, all handled by expert riders. An inter- j CHtipg feature of the show waa the fact that a large majority of . the I horses shown were raised in Kershaw county. An entry for Veteran Horses showed that some of these have reached the ripe old age of twenty five years and are still Riving good service to the same matters who han- ' died them as colts. The snow began promptly at 4:15, the first entry, Gentlemen's Srtddlei Horses, arousing much interest. Six beautiful horses were shown in this 'class, which ended in ah exciting race. There was also a Shetland pony race between Master L, Whit Boykin, 3rd,, on "Cub" and Master Alvin Work man on "Julius." Tho latter won, amid much applause from the grand stand. Messrs .J. Willis Cantey, Edward Workman and E. B. Mathis acted as judges, and were heartily commended on all sides for their good judgment in making the awards. ? There wero no entrance or admis ? sion fees, but the selling of ice cream cones and the generous contributions of friends enabled the promoters to clear $55.2N. This will be used to start a Library Fund for the new con solidated school, which will be opened n<?,vt year at. The Terraces'. The awards were as followb: 1. Gentlemen's Saddle Hordes. ?

Beginning Friday night the city will have an enclosure roped off on North Broad Street and reserved for those who like the pastime of skati/)g. The hardware merchants have had big business in the sale of Hkataa alncj the paving work has been (ftmpleted on some of the streets, but on account of the danger to the skaters they have been barred from the streets ex cept where they follow up the new paving where the roads are blocked to traffic. It is the intention of the city to rope. off the space from the Confederate monument to the resi dence of Mr. D. M. McCaskiU and let the skaters use this reserve every Friday night from eight to eleven o'clock. Autos and vehicles can ei ther go by way of th?' roadway lead ing around the rear of the. high school building or the roadway by the homo of Mr. J. L. Moseley, without causing any inconvenience to travel ers. Those who enjoy skating will no doubt be very appreciative of this thoughtfulness on the part of the city government. Glimpse of Former Emperor. "The Kaiser in Exile" was a part of the program at the Majestic J^'ed nesday night. The camera was smuggled into the exile's castle and enclosure xt Porn, and of course the film was made unknown to the far mer emperor, therefore only long dis tance views were shown, as he paced about through the walks on his 20 arre estate. Instead of the forme** arrogant war lord, in the day of his power, he now appears as a gray haired bioken man. While his sur roundings are beautiful and ho has all the comforts of life, the fact that he is caged in, seems to be telling on the old fellow. The Majestic has been showing some good pictures lately #?r?J th*>y keep abr nst of th."> ttme^ w*?h their programs.

Smith, Jr., struck a Ford j ear standing in the road and the Buiclc somersaulted into a ditch just beyond the Seaboard tracks about one i mile west of Camden. Mr. Smith was quite badly cut and bruised about thej head and body and his left leg: >*Ufl tained a bad gash. Mr. Little was slightly bruised. Mr. Smith was car ried to the Camden hospial where fbout 'lb stitches had to be taken in a wound on the left side of his he-ad, ear and neck. The accident was caus- i ed by a Ford car standing in the roar! without lights and the young men did not see it in time to avoid hitting it. It is not known who owned the Ford a* no one was near at the lime. Caught a Dig Fi?h. Mr. C. M. Coleman, accompanied by Mr. H. K. Beard, lays claim to the largest bass so far captured around here this season. The big fish weigh ed ten and a half pounds. An on looker on the bank says when the big fish came out of the water the stream fell two inches, and Coleman thinks the inme way. Where Books Can Be Obtained.

The new secre tary hiuI manager, fc. I, Reardon, has about met all of the different chair men of the bureaus, men and women, and this week many bureau meetings were scheduled on the call of the ?ec retary fo* dlftftvwaion of V, M, C. A? road improvement, relations between city and rural sections, industries, civic improvement, tobacco industry and tobacco, warehouses, entertain ment, trade drawing plans, finance, agricultuits Fourth of July county wide picnic; booster trips, and othev important matters for the good of Camden and Kershaw county. Mr. B. (?. Sanders, who was sue cetdcd by Mr. Reardon is certainly doing everything in his power to help and is giving much of his time help ing the new secretary, an is President F. H. Harding and the directors of the Chamber of Commerce. Many of the farmers of .the county and county of Kershaw IndieH, and bankers, mer chants! manufacturers, dozens of Camden's ladies, church pastors, pro fessional people generally, and a great many of the young men and women of Camden and Kershaw County are [giving Secretary* Reardon their whole hearted support. That in the typical Camden spirit that does things. Co bperation. Secretary Reardon says 'he is certainly under obligations to ?the Cilmden newspapers for the kind boosting and support they have given j ?him. And to the Chamber of Corn- i merce of. Camden and Kershaw Coun ty. And that he will never be able' ta express properly his gratitude for \ the cordial welcome and support giv- j en him in the short time he has been j 'here of less than two weeks. It looks as though the Chamber of [ Commerce is jcoing to spend a very busy summer if Secretary Reardon's 1 ideas are carried out because rumor 1 has it that not one of his many ideas i | and plans- but has been enthusiasti- 1 eally adopted by director**, officers j and Camdcnites ahd farmers of the i County of Kershaw so far. The Y. j M. C. A. movement launched last j week by the Camden and Kershaw 1 County Chamber of Commerce is said to be very popular and is gaining momentum right along. The commit tee in charge.. is not sleepwi^ ovev their task. j Secretary Reardon has already ac cepted several invitations to speak j in the agricultural district s and in l j other events of this city and coun#. ( It looks like he is going to eat plenty of fried chicken, pastries, ice cream, i cake, etc., and have a good time gen- j i orally this spring and summer if be J ! holds his own with the ladies as J)e j seems to be doing now . ' ; .V Tragic Fire in Chester. . Ijistreasing tragedy, including death j and serious injury followed the de- ) struction of the handsome home of J. \ L. Carroll on Lancaster street, Ches- 1 ter, by fire Sunday afternoon. Mrs. , Carroll died from heart disease, Jack-! ton W. Carroll, a son, had his- sculp! j torn open and his skull injured by a i I falling piece of iron, and W. H. Jones;^ ! a fireman, was almost killed by the terrific heat, The fire occurred shortly after noon, presumably from a defective flue. The flameb spread with appalling suddenness. Mrs. Car ! roll's weak heart succumbing to' the j shock. The other incidents occurred | later. The salvage from the burning ! building was small and the insurance j was only partial. Mr. and Mrs. Car j roll were the parents of Miss Nancy ! Carroll, a former teacher in the Cum j den graded schools. School Boy Killed By Train. | Cheraw, April 25. ? Nathaniel Hall, , age 11 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. i E. Hall, was run over by a Seaboard [engine and caboose about 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon near his home at . Marlburg, three miles south of Che I raw. He had walked home from the j Cheraw school feeling sick. He did not' | eat dinner and went to look after the cows. Sitting down on the track, he fell asleep between the crossties, when the eng-ine and caboose ran over him, fracturing his skull in sevcrul places, j He could not be seen by the engineer, it is said. He was immediately taken to Hamlet hospital, where he died at .T'JO this morning. | I/Ots Sold Ht Auction. The auction sale of lots last Satur day near the Hermitage Cotton Mill on the highway towards Bethune drew quite a crowd and the lots were i sold readily, all bringing good prices and the promoters of the sale wore highly pleased. This property was formerly a part of tho K. C. DuBose tract of land and of late years had change! hands at a nominal figure. Messrs. T. I). Ancrum and L. A. Kirk-1 land recently purchased the proper- 1 ty and had it divided into 200 building lots. It is located in a beautiful sec tion and many who purcha.wd Iota state that they intend building resi ! donees there at an early date. Now With Augusta. H. K.

Their touring cat ?s fitted up Pullman style with berths and other accommodations for six passen gers aiid has an observation plat form at the rear. While out pleasure riding on horse - hack with a party of friends last Thursday afternoon, Miss Dorolny -Moor*, was thrown, sustaining pain ful cuts and bruises on the race, Hhoulder and lower limbs. Tho horse she wafl tiding, being a spirited >'^ung animal, got beyond her control and ran away down the west end of Aicn street and stumbled when near the residence of R. S. Beckham, throwing Miss M#6re violently to the ground. It is said that the horse turned a com plete somersault, but fortunately the rider fell' clear and thus was saved from serioua injury. Neighbors ren dc red fissintance ut onco und u 1 oc ** * physician hurried to the scene. Miss Moore was conveyed to her home ana her injuries attended to. She is suf fering from the hurts and shock, but there are no serious injuries. In spite u f the large number of negroes who are still Emigrating to the' North from this state, a steady back How lias started and many ne groes are returning, disappointed nnd dicijuctpd with unsuccessful efforts- to make a living in the North, accord ing to figures obtained from local railway stations and the stories of ^)ie negroes themselves. Although tho numbers returning can not accurate ly be tabulated, the number is in creasing, railroad offu ials say. The negroes deelare that so many South ern negroes have flocked to Wash ington, Philadelphia and Chicago that work is scarce, house rent is high and living conditions intolerable. ? They claim that they cannot make enough to meet the high living expenses of the North and they have come home to the South, where it is easier to live. Returning negroes warn their bveth 1 ren of the hard times ahead of them I when they reach the North. Ocea Lsionally we hear of negroes leaving Lancaster county for the "land ot milk and honey", but many are re turning, satisfied that there Is no place like home for them. | A party of thirty tourists, travel ing with the Wm. Mauser I Sightsee ing Pus Co., of North Adams, Mass., and Jacksonville, FU., stopped for the night Thursday at the Hotel Royal. The party was traveling in two large motor busses which attracted much attention. This bus line travels be tween the points named, making: making brief stops, en route to places of interest. This party is traveling from Jacksonville to North Adams, 1 via Brunswick and Savannah, Ga., Ai ken. Columbia, Camden, Lancaster, Monroe, Raleigh, Washington, New '.York, Albany and "North Adams. This mode of tourists travel is fast be coming the ideal way ot spending the winters in the South and by putting it within reach of the people of mod ! er'ate means, is a great boon to those ; who wish to escape the rigors of the Northern winter climate. The series of meetings being con ducted by Evangelist W. L. Walker and th<* pastor, Rev. J. S. Corpening, at the First Kaptist church, are at tracting large congregations. Vernon Funderhurk, who with hi ; j brother John from Brownwood, Tex.,' ha;< been in the county for several j days visiting kinfolk, received a letter t from his wife during last week in which it was stated that a severe hail i storm had visited their section, doing I considerable damage to young crops, beat tho roof off buildings on his" farm, and tore things up in general, j It was fjaid that some of the hail- . stones were as largo as hen eggs and I drifted in places to a depth of six inches. These gentlemen left Sunday for their homes in the West, after spending several days among friends and relatives in the county. They are brothers to Senator Luther Funder- I hurk. of Kershaw county. j Acts ol Vandalism. . Mi. F. K. Hull, owner of the pretty I Molly Hedge property, is publishing a notice in this paper forbidding vis [ itors or trespassers upon his prop i erty without special permission from him. This action is taken for the rea son that thoughtless parties have been breaking and carrying away the flowers, and also caU-hing the fish out of his pond and otherwise molest ing his property. Mr. Hull says that he has been feeding and protecting the fish for years, and succeeded in get ting them tame enough to not shy away at visitors.
