CAMPAIGN FOR TIIK BLIND Citixeno Attked to Help Kaiite Funds For Unfortunatett Home. Mr. E. R. Murray, president of the Association for the Blind of South Carolina, is in Camden this week for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of a new building to be used as a workshop for these unfortunate ones who are trying to make a liveli hood for themselves. A committee of ladies will help Mr. Murray in making the canvass. The work has the hearty support of the governor of the stat? as the following letter signed by Gov ernor McLeod will show: "I take this opportunity to heartily endorse the campaign now under way in 'behalf of the blind of the State. 1 know of no more worthy under taking or cause than this. "I am sure if those of us who are blessed with our normal powers could appreciate the real significance of blindness, if we could understand just what it means to be shut off from the world, to be deprived of the visual enjoyment of God's wonders, and then to sympathetically contemplate the' suffering and sorrow that loss of sight often brings, we would rospohd with willing hearts to this eminently worthy call for funds. MI am sure that the appeal for the blind will not fall on deaf ears. My experience with the people of South Carolina has been that they are whole-hearted, ^sympathetic and re sponsive. I hope that the building campaign of the Association of the Blind will be generously responded to throughout the length and breadth of our State, and that its success will be marked." The building campaign also has the hearty support of Senator Alan John stone of Newberry, who writes as follows: "Can you imagine anything much worse than the loss of your eyesight? "The Association of the Blind is an organization established several years ago to aid In* 'meeting the needs of the adult blind of our State; not only to cive them n hnrr>at enable them to take vocational train ing which will make them at least partially self-supporting, and what is possibly of more value, to give them something to do which will bring happiness into their lives. "The present building occupied is totally inadequate, an old dilapidated frame structure, a veritable fire-trftp, wholly unfit for human habitation, especially blind people. With a -view of taking better care of the present inmates and enlarging the possibil ities of the Association, it "is proposed to build a home and workshop in keeping with what the right thinking citizens of our State want them to have, so certain interested men and women throughout the State have agreed to undertake to raise the $100,000 necessary." Hot Supper. The ladies of Springvale Baptist church will serve a hot supper for benefit of their church at the resi dence of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

Cotton Picture to be Shown Here. - What promises to be n real treat for the farmers of Kershaw county as well as an educational opportu nity will be the showing of a very interesting film at the Majestic Theater here Saturday, March 15, at 11 a.m. Since nitrate of soda has taken such a prominent place in the fertilizer used for cotton under pres ent conditions, it is important that every farmer learn all that he can about it. For this reason, motion pictures of the results, yields, cul tural methods, etc., used in the boll weevil territory are being shown over the state. The picture, com posed of six reels, was filmed in dif ferent parts of the South, some I scenes having been made in this state. Its value from the educational stand point rests in the fact that it actually shows what is being done and how to do it including the latest develop ments in growing cotton economically under present conditions. Part of the picture has a little story ruivning through it which adds interest for those who like something of a senti mental nature. The remainder is given actual cultural methods show ing the different stages in cultivation from the time the seed are selected until the fleecy staple is picked * Wa* a Costly Talk.
