Mr. Douglas began life pegging shoes, later he established a shoe factory known as the W. 1,. Douglas shoe company. For a generation hi-s pie iure appeared in his advertisements of his famous shoe and there is hartb ly a man of a few years ago but who had seen his picture. He owed much (>1 his success to printers ink. America has again captured the in ternational polo cup., having taken the first two games of the series from Great Britain. The four players, Webb, Hitchcock, Strawbridge and Milburn have been seen on the Cam den polo fields and the games have been watched with a great deal of local interest. Two noted murder trials to come up in the state soon are those of King an<| Harrell, at Chesterfield, for the murder of Major McLcUry, and Kd - mund Iiigham, slayer of live members of his own family, which comes up at Conway, this month. Just Indignation. Indignant letters of protest are pouring in on the New York Time*, which attempted a defense of .Judge Caver jy's sentences in the Chicago murder case. The American public as- u whole has rejected utteuly the' specious pretexts upon which clem ency was extended in this case to two degenerates who happened to be the M>ns of immensely weajthy parents. The American public is rejecting also the efforts to make this case the basis of a movement to abolish cap tal punishment. It should do so; first, because there are some cases which call for the death penalty and if the law does away with the death penalty mob law will impose it; second, because there is absolutely n > assurance that a sentence of life im prisonment will be carried out. How many people expect that Loeb and Leopold will spend the rest of their clays in the penitentiary? It may be questioned whether human lift* was ever before so cheap in this country as ? now, or whether ,it is anywhere cheaper than here. Nor may any improvement be looked for until the court* are able to de serve and command a larger .degree tif public confidence than they now enjoy. -Ww? >??".! ' v.:: .

By Mis* Louiae Nettl?? Meeting ot Hobkirk Hill Chapter. A large and enthusiagtic meeting of the above chapter was held Thurs day afternoon . with Mrs. K. Ii. Pitts as hostess. The regent, Miss Leila Shannon, presided and minutes of the last meeting were read by the secre tary, Mrs. S. 0, Zcmp. The chapter felt much gratified with the increased membership and increased interest and knowing that next year will be the one hundredth anniversary of La Fayette's visit to Camden, plana were discuSscfif for some eelebration of the eventy ? The committee on the year book consisting of Mrs. ?K. B. Pitts, Mrs., Leonard Sehenk and Miss Ada Phelps reported the work finished and the chapter accepted it with thanks and appreciation. . The study for the coming year will be South Carolina heroines of the Revolution and will no doubt prove ati interesting one as their dignity and stateliness and formality are brought in contrast with the freedom and informality of the women of to day. o It was decided to put water in the chapter hall and thereby add to its Convenience and usefulness. It was also -decided to lend the chanter ? h&lL to the- Civic League for a reception in* October. The chapter accepted with pleasure an invitation from the Kershaw mem bers to meet -with them the first Fri day in October and all are looking forward to this meeting with bright tfnlicipation. After business the hostess served ice cream and cake. Visitor Complimented. A charming social event of th?* week was the bridge party . Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Leonard Sehenk as hostess and Miss Alice Roche as guest of honor.

At a meeting of the Ministerial as sociation of Chester attended by the pastors of the Presbyterian, Associate Reformed Presbyterian, Methodist and Haptint churches, the association refused to give itfX support to a spec ial conference of'4the Y.
