CAMDEN VENEER PLANT
COMPLETELY DESTROYED
The plant of the Camden Veneer
Company, located near the Southern
railway depot wa???ompleteJy destroy
ed by Are about three o'clock Sunday
morning. It is not known how the lire
originated and being bo far / away
from Are hydrants and having gained
such headway nothing could be saved.
Three box cars on. a siding of the
Southern railway, together 'with con
siderable veneer timber, were also de
stroyed.
'rtie Cartidei\ plant is one of several
operated by the 0. L. Williams Veneer
Company, having plants at Mocksville
and High Point, N. C., and Conway
and Sumter, S. C. Frank Williams,
manager of the plant, would hot give
*>ut any information as to the loss in
curred nor the amount insurance
carried, neither would he ptate wheth
er or not the company would rebuild.
Wo are able to learn,, however, from
? out side sources that in recent monLhs
quite a lot of new machinery had bpen
placed in the plant and a three story
warehouse had just been completed to
house the finished products.
The loss on the plant is variously
estimated by outsiders at from $-10,
900 to $60,000. It is also said that
the company at one tirfte carried insu
fljp with local ftgpnriim, and it is
mIu that pGll?i?a iiOW tai i icu aiiiuuuL
to something like $20,000 with a mu
tual insurance company with head
quarters in Atlanta. A good many
laborers were- thrown out of employ
ment by the loss of this plaAt.
The members of the city council
met in special sossion Monday after
noon and directed a letter to the
management of the plant expressing
their regret at the loss of the industry
and also agreed that in the event the
plant was rebuilt the city would, ex
empt them from all taxation and li
censes for a period of ftvo years. ?

WHITMAN CLAIMS DOG;
PLACED UNDER ARREST
* < i
An interesting aftermath of the de
struction of a large capacity still in
the Bethune section Saturday after
noon was the fact that one of the men
seen running ? away from the still
by Sheriff Welsh called on the
sheriff at the jail Monday and claimed
a dog seized by the sheriff at the time
the still was destroyed.
At th* approach of the officers two
men were seen running awa$, and two
dogs were following. The sheriff fired
his revolve* and one of the dogs ran
to him. He chained the animal and
brought it to the county jail, with the
hope that it wodld be claimed. Mon
day, one A. R. Shirley, a white man
seen fleeing from the still, called to
claim the dog. Sheriff Welsh asked
him to make affidavit as to the de
scription and ownership of the can
ine. The paper was duly signed in the
presence of Magistrate S. N. Nichol
son, and the sheriff then requested
that the magistrate Issue a warrant
"\ for Shirley for manufacturing whis
key and placed him under arrest.
Shirley gave bond in the sum of $300,
furnished by P. L. McNaughton of the
section where the still was found.
Shirley was released for his appear
at the next term of court *l?d the
ca*s will be. watched .with interest as
to whether or not the "dqi evidence"
will hold good. ? - - ~ ~ - '

LARGE CAPACITY STILL
DESTROYED IN COUNTY
Sheriff G. C. Welsh, Deputy Henry
Mcleod and Jailor Boono went into
the Bethune section Saturday after
noon and destroyed a Urge capacity
distillery and poured out a quantity of
mash, yeady to be pu?^e into fwhiskey.
The still was located In a ravine
on lands said to belong to the Ks
tridgo estate, in the section known to
the inhabitants as "Mississippi." The
boilers to the booze mill wero flred up
and operations were going on, but the
lay of the land made it almost impos
sible for the officers to approach un
observed. Two men and two dogs
were seen fleeing across a hillside, but
no one was captured, although the
officers think they know the operators
and owners. The outfit was destroyed,
about one thousand gallons of mash
poured out and one five gallon can of
whiskey seized. A large supply of
copper pipe used in the "doubling"
process was brought to Camden. One
of the dogs seen with the men was
brought here by the sheriff with the
hope that some one would claim it.
This is the fourth raid made by the
sheriff's forces within the past month
and the second in that vicinity. The
other raid in this section netted more
mash than 'the one Saturday after
noon. - ? . ... . : ? ?
WKjU nr? wrrosts w??r#? mndn the
officers think they have evidence
enough to warrant the arrest of some
prominent and influential men in that
section.
.Both raids occurred in and near the
same section where two or more homi
cides have occurred in recent months.

Cars Without License.
In passing the1 Cars lined up on tho
curb We note quite a good many in
operation bearing 1923 license tags.
The time limit expired the first . of
February for the old tags, and we
are wondering how they get by with
it. It is not only unlawful to Use
these out-of-date tags, but the owners
lire shirking or evading their rightful
, share of taxation. We note where
i they are being arrested in some towns
I and we would like to ask the question,
"Why not in Camden?"

{ Auxiliary to Meet.
! The regular meeting of the WO
~ man's Auxiliary to the Camden Hos
pital will be htfld Monday afternoon,
February 25th, at 4 o'clock at the
* homo of the retiring president, Mrs.
j Henry Savage. Mrs. N. Roland Good

quested.
(CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES.
Every day or so there appear in Camden/as in all other cities, agents
and solicitors who' call on our business men with various propositions,
advertising, solicitation < of funds, etc. As a result a great deal of the
time oi-busy men is taken, and in some cases, practically worthless
schemes are "put over.'.V On the other hand, some splendid propositions ?
are turned down. Hoping to assist the business man in culling out the
bad, and seeing the good propositions, the Chamber of Commerce has a
i committee that will go Into these matters, if the merchants and others
will refer the solicitor or agent to them, and will approve or disapprove
the proposition in their best judgment. The decision of committee will
in no way bind, or attempt to influence the individual in his decision, but
will save him time and money in dealing with solicitors. To get this ser
vice just tell the agent pr solicitor that it is necessary to have th4 ap
proval of the Chamber of Commerce committee on such matters before
you can talk further with him. # ' " * '
POSTAL RECEIPT8 GOOD BAROMETER.
No truer indication of the prosperity of a. community can bfc had than
the Post Office receipts. In looking into this field we find that Camden
during 1923 showed a considerable gain in local receipts over any other
year. Believing these figures will be of interest, we show them as fbl*
lows:
1919, $18,616.34; 1920, $18,874.67; 1921, $18,010.70; 1922, $19,
077.29; 1928, $21,402.67.
THE BUILDING RECORD FOR 1922-1923.
Camden's record for building and improvement, private and municipal
for the two years, 1922, and 1923, is a splendid one. From building per
mits and conservative information we find that the building for the two
years amounted to $640,000.00, while paving and improvements in
grounds, golf links, etc., amounted to $686,000.00. The total shows
well over $1,000,000 for the two years.
golf links, etc., amounted to $686,000.00, The total shows well over

THEY PAY THEIR OWN WAY.
The Secretary, in talking to many members of the Chamber of Com- :
merce, and others, has found a splendid spirit of cooperation in Camden,
and has found no better Board of Directors anywhere than here. Right
hero wo wish to correct an impression which while not generally preva
lent, is held by a few, ? this being that at the various directors' meetings
and luncheons served the Chamber of Commerce pays the expenses of
! same. This is entirely an erroneous impression, for at everv luncheon,
banquet, or other entertainment under the auspices of the Cnamber of
Commerce, the directors and secretary "pay their own way.*' In addition
to this, the directors on several occasions have covered the cost of enter
' tainment for visitors out of their own pocket, without calling on the gen
eral treasury, and these men and women give their time and energy -
whenever called upon for community srvice. g

made for the card party to be held
this aflernoon under the auspices of
the John P. Kennedy Chapter, ?*U. I).

Last week the first game of polo
was played on the new Kershaw

sirioring the short time it has been
in use. The Club expects to have its
team ready f<#r the Spring matches.
There has been a decided increase in
the number of guests at the hotels
this week, and before another week,
all reservation will be .taken, so that

rush here as in past seasons. It is
then that a very large number stop
over in Camden on their way from
Florida.
