Mrs. B. R. Truesdale, elected a delegate
from the County Council* of
Farm Women, Mrs. J. Team Gettys
of Lugoff, Mrs. Joe Cooper of Cassatt,

superintendent named
Frank W. Chapman of Laurent* To He
in Charge of Light Department
Tho Camden City Council haa selected
Mr. Frank W. Chapman of
Laurens, a native of Newberry, as a
successor to the late Mr. W. B, Allred
as superintendent of the Camden
Water and Light Department. Tho
i-election was made by Mayor C. P.
DuBosc and committee after careful
investigation of a mass of applicants.
Mr. Chapman, however, could not
be termed as un applicant; as Mayor
DuBose and his committee went to
Laurens to see Mr. Chapman and investigate
his services in that city.
They found his record so efficient
that they made him an offer apd he
accepted the position offered in Camden
and will Boon begin upon his new
duties.
If letters of recommendation count
Mr. Chapman must be a very valuable
man, judging from the following letter
from Chairman W. R. McCuen, of
-the commissioners of public works of
Laurens:
"The Commissioners of Public
Works, of which I am a member, was
elected four years ago at which time
we elected Mr. F. W. Chapman as
superintendent. When we took tho
water plant over, we had no filterer
and the electric line was practically
down. The auditor's record showed
that the plant was running a deficit
of $12,400 per annum. Since .Mr.
Chapman has come with us, we have
built a new plant ajid we have a Alteration
plant second to none in the
South. Our line loss at> the time we
took, charge was running about sixtyfive
percent to sixty-seven percent
: loss. We are down now to about
. thirty-one percent. For the first
twelv^ month Mr. Chapman was with
us, we were able to pay running ex|
penses. The second year we showed
' a nice profit. Last year our profit
| showed about $18,000. We are ex|
pecting to increase this from year to
year, as our plant is being put on a
j more efficient basis day by day.
| "When 1 was prevailed upon to
i aqcept the place on the commission,
11 never anticipated, although I am
j ap optimist, ever doing what we hare
, done and the people never expected
I it of us.
! "I hardly know just what to say
; that would be justice to Mr. Chap|
man, but would prefer you coming
here and letting us show you. ,He is
, one of. the few efficient water and
I electric mep in our state, and I as a
! commissiorfe*, regret exceedingly to
even think of his looking elsewhere,
but I must be fair to him and state
that any town would do well to secure,
him and Laurens could not afford to
lose him. As to his character that is j
unquestionable and his habits are
good. A man that can be relied upon
under any and all circumstances. He
has a splendid family and they both
take leading parts in all activities.
He is one of the scout leaders of our
county and his wife is organist at
the Methodist church. Come and look
the matter over. If we can help you
in getting someone else, allow us and
allow himjto 'stay-put.'"

Pathetic Story of Unfortunate Cornea
From Indiana City.
South lU/id, Ind., May 20.?Two
girl-babies, perfect in every respect
save that they are linked together
facing each other, who were born
|jl?re Saturday, are being sustained
by bottle feeding and give every indication
that they ?re growing liko
normal abies. i
" "The babies are here, a doctor's
duty is to do what he can for thorn."
was the comment of I)r. Thomas A.
?Swantz, attending physician for the
twins, Lucy and Bessie Medich. He
Baid an operation to eparate them
would prove fatal.
Mr. and Mrs. Nichola Medich ? are
deeply shaken by the strange birth.
The mother, torn between mother
love and the anguish over the handicap
of her daughters, has expressed
the hope that the babies will pass
from mortal scene to which they are
so ill adapted.
Unlike the famous Siamese twins,
who were joined in such a way as to
permit locomotion, these twins are
joined at the pelvis girdle and never
would be able to walk or move in anything
like a normal manner.
The babies seem to live separate
lives. Sometimes one sleeps while
the other is feeding. Physicians say
that should illness come to one it
would affect the other. Some twins,
however, have been known to survive
for years. ~~1
X-ray studies show that each child
is complete as to heart,;>lungs, stomach,
and other internal organs, except
that they share one colon.

Danville, Va., May 30.-James Albert
Neal the infant-aon of Mr. and
Mrs. C E. Neal, of Stuart, owes his
life to Vincent. Griffith, a negro boy
whose quick wit saved him. The baby
was playing at a second story window
in the Neal home. Griffith and other
negro boys were standing in a group
not far away in the street below.
Suddenly Griffith heard a cry and
looking up saw the baby in the act of
falling frt>m the window sill to the
concrete pavement below. Quick as a
vmj ran 1? intercept the
c^Jld with his arms outstretched as
an outfielder would race for a long fty.
Griffith got there first, the boy feli
on top of him and he seized the boy,
who did not sustain a bruise. Dr,
Akers also saw the baby and was trying
to intercept the child. A hasty
examination revealed that James wa;
i more frightened than hurt.

HAD FIRK AT KKKSHAW.
Valuable Itunint'HM Block Prey of the
FIhiih'h Tuesday at Noon.
I
Fire at Kershaw beginning at noon
Tuesday destroyed tho building of
the Hank of Kershaw, Southern railway
platform and freight depot, and
two cotton warehouses belonging to
the Kershaw Hanking and Mercantile
company, together with cotton on the
platform and in warehouses estimated
in value to total $18,000.
In the bank building were located
the postofflce, the K. and K. Myers
millnery establishment, Hilton's barber
shop, masonic hall, insurance office
of J. Ki Neal, dental office of Dr.
St G. Uutledge, office of Dr. S. J.
Biackmon and offices of J. Copeland
Massey. vMr. Massey's office
was valued at $5,000 with only $800
insurance. The bank building was
valued at around $30,000 and is said
to have been fairly well insured.
The fire started on the cotton platform,
spreading underneath, "" and
fanned by a strong wind it was feared
the whole bt&iness section would
be burned. Fire departments from
Lancaster and Camden reached the"
scene in about half an hour, and together
with the Kershaw firemen, had
the blaze under control about two
o'clock. The firemen were handicapped
by Kershaw's water supply
giving out. Under normal conditions
the wuter supply would have been
adequate, but.we learned, that one-of
tho auxiliary pumps had been taken
apart only the day before for overt
hauling. Water from a Southern
railway engine tender came in good
when it was pressed into service to
I prevent further spread of the flames.
I Plate glass windows in buildings faci
ing the bank building and on the east-,
crn side were badly shattered from
j the heat.
j A great number of Lancaster and
I Camden citizens accompanied the TtXvO'J
fire trucks to Kershaw and rendered j
valuable service in helping their
neighbor in time of stress.

with its various stores and offices,
plans to rebuild almost as soon as

about $150,000, although this figure
does not include damage by smoke
and water to adjacent buildings,

arrested at Charleston and brought
to Camden. He doe not stay in one
place very long and is said to go
