TWO NKW PLANTS FOB CAMDEN
Hough Dry Cleaning Company and
Camden Dry Cleanery Open Shortly
V < 4S
One oI Camden's greatest commercial
deficiencies, extending throughout
a number of years, is promised
generous relief in the immediute future
according to plans announced
during the past week for the establishment
of two modern dry cleaning
plants.
The Camden Tailoring Company
which, under the management of Leroy
Hough, has operated a pressing
club and tailor shop on DeKalb street
will on Monday afternoon be ready
to handle all orders in their complete
and modernly equipped plant
for dry cleaning. Mr. Hough has acquired
for his company added quarters
to the rear and adjoining their
present location and from the size
and construction of the fixtures can
be gained an explanation of the apparent
inability of Camden shops to
previously compete with the high
quality service obtainable in bigger
places.
Likewise there comes announcement
of a similar plant shortly to be
operated in' conjunction with the
Camden Steam Laundry, established
here several months ago and now
operating with such notable success.
Workmen are now engaged in rush
T I
ing to completion the new building
to be occupied by the Camden Dry
deanery. The home for this concern
adjoint* .the boiler room of the laundry
and is built of brick with sunlight
factory design. No opening
c^ute is given for publication but it is
stated that the laundry will within n
limited space of time be serving their
^regular patronage through the plant
now being made a part of their
system, :
Both new enterprises are expected
to have experts in the operation of
their plants and the statement is ventured
that, with a continuance of the
co-operative spirit already in evidence,
Camden people can supply and
will not fail in further promoting
home enterprise and industry in
preference to foreign concerns now
making such a heavy bid for this
class of work.

Kendall Mills Unit Celebrates With
Spring Festivities
Each year finds Wateree doing
greater things in all its activities and
this year's May Day celebration at
Wateree Mills surpassed anything of
its kind that had hitherto been attempted.
A great throng had gathered and
weather conditions were ideal. The
mill band under the able direction of
Professor L. S. Hilton opened the
program with a number of snappy
selections. Then followed the grand
march from the trees in frout ,a? th?
mill to the grand stahd wherS tW

Vfirone "wilff3
ants, Miss Viola Norris" and Miss
Althea Sanders. In the absence of
Mr. Llewellyn, Mr. Cobb placed the
crown upon the queen's head with
appropriate remarks.
The baby parade passed in front
of the grand stand and Mr. Cobb presented
the winners with prizes. The
babies had been weighed and measured
the preceding day by Dr. S. C.
Zemp and Mrs. Louise Brown, county
health nurse. Sixteen babies entered
the contest and the following awards
were made: 1 '
Two-year-class?First prize, Edith
Lloyd, scoring 100 points; second
prize, Sarah Francis Mitchell, who
scored 99 points.
One-year-class?-First, Milton Horton,
100 points; Second, Earl Priester,
98 points. Silver cups with gold linings
and pins were awarded the winners.
Next on the program of events was
a drill and May-pole dance by twenty

done and received with the plaudits
of the crowd.
The rest of the afternoon was
given over to the baseball game between
Pacific Mills of Columbia and
Wateree which Wateree won by the
score of 18 to 8. Fine pitching by
Baker, heavy hitting by the entire
team and splendid work in the ^itfield
tells the story in a .''nutshell.
