The New Year i? Here
Over the threshold step* a new

Welcoiite fpr 8he came* Iaden witl>
*ifts; promise, hope, opportunities,
ptliibilitietf follow in her wake, and
5ho will be moat gonarous in bestow
ing these gifts to all who will reach
oUt and accept them as she passes
"by 1925 with its mistakes and fail
ores is in the past and all that was
unworthy should be forgotten. But
the successes, achievements and vic
tories tarry, destined to live on and
bear fruit through all the coming
years. To our readers, individually
anil collectively, we wish a happy new
year. May each onward step be one
0{ confidence with hope's brightest
colors cheering us on to success.
Confidence in ourselves and in our
ability to bring things to pass by the
proper uso of our God-given talents
and faculties; confidence in our fel
low man that will aid. him in attain
ing the heights; confidence and faith
in an all wise Prbvidence that is using
human agencies to make the world a
brighter and better place to dwell in.
Many are they who tell us that man's
be^t moments are o'e>,
Saying, "The rose of his pride shall
wither to bloom no more."
Not so; for the day draws nigh by
the Hebrew seer foretold,.
When peace shall interpret the law
and love shall be better than
gold.
Aud though there be sickness and
* famine,
And wars and rumors of wars,
Yet still through the darkness the
future
Shines forth in the steadfast stars.
So hail, thou cycle of hope!
Remember the world is young,
There are victories yet unattained?
Then' are songs that are still un
sung!

Sextette Arrested in Camden Wanted
On (lhar(M of Burglary
The 'tourist party," composed of
five men and one woman, en route
from New Jersey to Florida, who were
detained by a jail sentence in Colum
bia following a disagreement among
themselves while stopping in this
eity for a night, were returned yes
terday to New Jersey. Three detec
tives of Mercer county, New Jersey,
departed with tho prisoners over the
northbound Seaboard train yesterday
afternoon. The detectives from Tren
ton were John Kelly, P, A.Naples
and Edward Loadem. V
Mary Padgett, the wVman in the
party, started the wholeVaffair when
she "squealed" to officers ~tn" Cam
den. From her story it was gathered
that^W. S. Cross professed to bo the
owner of the automobile in which he
was going South with the woman and
Thomas Cox, Thomas Connell, Charles
Flynn and George Nicola. The wo
man told Camden officers that Cox,
Connell, Flynn and Nicola had mado
Cioss drunk in a Columbia rooming
house and had stolen his car, at the
same time forcing her to accompany
them. The car had broken down in
Blaney and the woman had found a
ride into Camden. The woman it
seems was fortunate enough to get
to Camden before the others and had
Camden officers posted and ready
when the quartet of men arrived.
Immediately they were arrested and
were brought to Columbia the follow
ing day. Cross in the meantime had
made complaint to the Columbia po
lice that his car and even his clothing
had been stolen. Also in the car was
found motometers, a tire and rim and
a 22 caliber rifle. Following an ex
amination by 'Columbia detectives,
Chief F. S. Strickland and Chief J. D.
Dunaway, the six were held for a
hearing before/'the recorder. They
were convicted of petit larceny and
given fines of $100 or jail sentences
of 30 days each.0
Communication with officers in
Trenton revealed that at least some
members of the party were wanted in
that state. On the way South and in
New Jersey, according to an affidavit
of one of the prisoners, about $2,800
worth of property was stolen includ
ing a fur coat valued at about $500.
Mary Padgett declared that the men
confined their thieving mostly to
garages;
The car, which was the property of
Cross, was taken in charge yesterday
toy Waiter McDaniel, representing the
National Surety company of Atlanta,
which company is representing the
Auto Brokerage company of New
York. The latter company had
handled the credit papers on the car
which was bought by Cross at a town
in New Jersey. Mr. McDaniel said
that Cross had violated his contract
by removing the car from New Jer
sey and had . aUo. failed to keep up
the payments on the car.?'Thursday's

Library Notes.
The birthday of Woodrow Wilson
was not formally celebrated in Cam
den, but this distinguished Southerner
was not forgotten; hie memory will
be an evergreen in the hearts of many
in this little city, of Dixie. His great
worth to his country can be better
estimated by future generations than
by us, who are still in touch with the
actors in it. He has bequeathed to
us a share in his lifo's work. Truly
in love for his fellow man and in his
devotion to the cause of peace?<we
shall not look upon his like again.
On Monday the 28th of December
Mr. David Wolfe presented to the
Camdeft Library a bronze bust of
Woodrow Wilson.
The library is open every day ex
cept Sundays. Hours are from 10
a.m., to 1 p.m., and 3:30 to 5 p.m.
Visitors are always welcome at the
library.
The library is closed on all national
holidays and as New Year's day is
olie the library will not be opened
today.
Early in January is the time for
annual dues and we bespeak for this
important institution a liberal re
sponse from the citizens. Whether
you read or not by your public spirit
and unselfish thought, make it pos
sible for others to do 'so. Cultivate
the habit of reading and be self
educated. The past with all its
4 BU
visions will come before you in its
prime?read the bards in fascinating
poetry:
Unlike the men who speak alone
For the passing things of time,
The bards speak for all ages
In the lofty words of rhyme.
Not for the coming morrow,
Not for the brief today,
Stir th6 bard's the harp's wild pulses
Sing the bafds their noble lay.
May the library be of personal use
and benefit to Camden and its people
and also to the stranger within our
gateB in 1926.
