Price per annum $2.00. Camden, 8. C., Friday. May 7, 1926. Col. John K. Aull, secretary of the state railroad commission and prominent newspaper correspondent of Columbia, suffered an attack of acute appendicitis in Newberry Saturday, llis condition is reported as favorable to an early recovery. South Carolina needs a governor and a legislature that will put the kibosh on the 'hoards and commissions that now dominate the- affairs of the ? state. The machines of the boards, bureaus, and commissions will he hard to heat.?Yorkville Enquirer. Charles Ponzi, former Huston "financial wizard," was on Wednesday . - ^e'ntenced .to serve one year at hard labor in the Florida penitentiary, following a conviction at Jacksonville on April 2 on.a charge of violating the Florida law relating to the conduct of business under a declaration of trust. Morrie SchJaifor, a pugilist of Omaha, Neb,, has signed up to meet another pugilist for a fight, in the hopes that he will win and thus get the money necessary for him to oppose a suit by his wife for divorce. 8um Holt, a paymaster for Armour & Co., was shot to death by five bandits in (lermnntown, Philadelphia suburb, Friday, when the paymaster was on his way from a bank to the plnnt of his company with $20,000. The bandits got the money, except $1,200.Contrary to expectation and precedent a jury in a Philadelphia court on Tuesday returned a verdict of vol uatary manshtughCer in a murder case in which the defense was the unwritten law. The defendant is liable to imprisonment of six to twelve years,. A Warning to Dancers . A warning sign is hung out for the benefit of those who think they can dance properly hut really can not. It is of particular application to those who may he tempted to engage in the gyration of the "Charleston." The warning is in the form of ? i;uit fur $50,000 damages 'brought by a woman against a man friend whom she charges caused her leg to be broken, because he? "attempted to exei ute said dance," but because of his' physical condition and inability to maintain his own equilibrium he caused tin* lady to lose her's and so she fell to the floor. There we have it. Don't dance with any one unless you have reasonable skill?especially if you are rich. If your legs are tottery instead of being fctout pillars, keep off the ball room floor. If you are unable to maintain your .equilibrium go.sit in' a chair and ntay the, e watching the { others dance. Keep off that floor? it may he enticing but is a dance) worth $500? Of course if you want to pay heavy premium.^ you may be able to secure indemnity insurance but that would make dancing seem mo: e like business than pleasure. These be suable days, remember.?

Last Saturday they defeated a team from Florence by a large score. Wateree will play practically the same line-up that defeated Pacific last Saturday 13 to 3.

Brown was wanted on a warrant sworn out in connection .with the slaying of a negro. Brown fired on the officers, wounding one. A dispatch of Tuesday from Albuquerque, N. M., says that on Monday the body of Santiago Platero, Navajo Indian, was found hanging from a limb north of Crown Point Indian agency. Platero was taken from a sheriff after he had been arrested, charged with killing a government cattle inspector. Jack Dempsey has placed his name on the dotted line for a championship fight to take place about September I 10, according to announcement of Tex Rickard, promoter, at Fort Worth, Texas, Wednesday. Orangeburg as an Example Orangeburg is up and coming. Within the short space of one calendar week that progressive city put, across a big thing. ^Sixteen canvass-I ing teams consisting of 128 wide) awake business men raised during, that time the sum of $233,200 to' build an 80-ruom modern hotel. The slock was subscribed by at least 500 1 local people who have faith in the! future of Orangeburg. The hotel is l" be leady for use in 1027. The putting over of a thing like' .hat in a city the size of Orangeburg] shows what co-operation will do. Business men left their own places ot*; business and gave themselves unselfishly and wholeheartedly to the: big task, never stopping till the task was completed. That is what makes jj town or city j grow and expand. Without it there | can be no growth. St. George can well learn a lesson from Orangeburg. Unselfishness is the keynote for| progress in this modern day, and if i we can forget self and put town and community first there is bound to be: progress and development.?Dorchester Eagle CITATION State ?>t South Carolina County of Kershaw >; "A i McDowell. Esquire, Probate Judge W herea.-., A. I,. McLeod made su;t, ' o me to grant him Letters of Admin.stration of the Estate of and Htier's f Mrs. Sallie Nunnery.

Given under mv hand, this 6th dn> of May. A. D. 1926. w. l. Mcdowell Judge of Probate for Kershaw Count> Published on the 7th and 14th day? of May 1926 in the Camden Chronicle and posted at the Court House dooi for the time prescribed by law. Five thousand canaries, fqrty pet monkeys, lf>0 parrots, two boa constrictors wele burned alive in an animal store last week. The animals all died in their cages, lamenting with strange voices. All of them, 1 from boa constrictors to baboons, had this great advantage over man, they did not know that they were going to die. '*3' * La Rochefoucauld says, "Neither the sun nor/death can be looked at with a steady eye." That applies to men, not animals. The eagle and others look at the sun steadily, and 1 all look calmly at Death, not knowing he is there. Men find comfort in the belief that there is something for them beyond leath. Animals do not need that comfort. Here is old-fashioned news. A brilliant Spanish airman flew from Spain to Buenos Aires. National excitement was intense in Spain, and the King has decreed an amnesty, freeing more than one thousand male and female convicts. It would have seemed strange in I this country, if, after the American flight around the world, the Uniteo States President had ordered Federal prisoners set free. Once that was the custom everywhere. Good news? Open the prisons. F. F, Lucas, of the Bell Telephone laboratory, exhibits an ultra-violet light microscope magnifying 9,000 times. It makes the end of a needle look like a log of wood and the edge of a razor blade like a huge crosscut saw. The microscope is used to study the physical structure of iron, steel and othev. metals. Anything that men can imagine they can do. Some day we may look I into the atom and see the electrons moving around the nucleus: It must be a very "slow movie," for the electron planets revolve around their I nuclear sun several billion times in a second. I The use of the .whipping post in I Delaware works well for the insurance companies. They have reduced by one-third their charges for insurance against burglary and other criminal acts. Burglars do not like I a state where being arrested means I being lashed. If some of the older institutions of torture??the hoot, rack and thumbscrew?were added to the whipping post, insurance might fall even lower. The professional criminal is usually timid and dreads pain. It is fear of a beating, often, that leads him to I kill. Knsore's comet was expected within easy range of the Yerkes Observa-J Lory at the University of Chicago on Monday, but astronomers that sat up all night waited for it in vain, j Astronomers are puzzled by its disappearance. Discovered in South I Africa last December, it was thirty 1 million miles from the sun, sixty mil- I lion miles from the earth, when last I seen in January. . ' The comet wandering too near the sun may have been absorbed by that light of our system. Our sun, travel-1 :ng through space, may take in fresh 1 sources of light, heat and radiation, ] gobbling up comets, meteorites, etc., I as a whale rushing through the ocean ! swallows smaller fish. Astronomers will know more about it in 2(26, when that comet is due on a return trip. What people want they can ge*, if they will pay. The national gov1 eminent suspects an international I ring organized to give Americans ^jujek divorces. In Mexico a divorce while you wait costs $S00, and there is a cheap divorce factory in Yucatan. It would nay some promoter to rent some little island in a nice climate beyond the prohibition bound, i ary? set up a government, and confine the island business to a first class bar and a divorce court. Wandering deer in great herds t actually stops a railroad train in 1 Colorado, as bison did in early days. J That excites men fond of killing things. Will Be Widely Read The Duke UntveraHy Pre?s of Dur luj in, N. <}., has just published "The! Tillman Movement in South Caro- j Una" by Francis Butler Simkins of | Edgefield who la now aaaiatant pro- I feasor of hiatory in Emory Univer- j aity. This book ia a critical interpre tation of eventa which engrossed the; attention of South Carolinians of a j generation ago. It begins with an analysis of tho&c forces which seem to have made inevitable the over- j throw of the Hampton regime, followed by the picturesque story of the early career of Ben Tillman. The main portion of the work is concerned with Tillman's stormy career as a political agitator and as governor of South Carolina. Special consideration is given to such constructive achievements of Till maoism as the establishment of white democracy in the state, the disfranchisement of the negro and the establishment of the dispensary and of institutions for the education of the white youth of the state. Special features are seven full-page portraits of Tillman and other South Carolinians who played a prominent part in South Carolina \ politics of the nineties. While no attempt is made to gloss disagreeable details, Mr. Simkins' work is characterized by fairness and tact. The book sells for $2.50 per copy and The Chronicle is indebted to the publisher for a copy. It is an intensely interesting human document of 274 pages and should be widely read in South Carolina. . : i ?. - Six men were buried by a cave-in in Grizzly Creek tunnel on Buck's mountain, California, Saturday night. Three were taken out dead, one. unconscious and up to yesterday morning the remaining two had not been found.
