Camden, 8. Friday, July 9, 192$.'
Voter* Should Enroll.
The Taw requires that all voters
write their names on the club books
before July 27th this year. Unless
this is done there/will be no possibility
of thpir being able to vote. Enrollment
is a necessary qualification.
So far very few voters have taken
the trouble to call at the enrolling
places and place their names on the
books. This is true over the county,
according to reports received.
In Camden the roll book is located
in The Chronicle office where everyone,
no matter what station in life
will 'be shown the same courtesy. If
you cannot write your name, someone
will always be present to assist in
putting the name on.
The Chronicle would urge all voters
to enroll at once. Soon the summer
exodus will begin, and unioss the voters
enroll before they go away, it
will be too late. They can' vote by
mail, but they cannot enroll except In
person. Neighbors might see to it that
those in their vicinity enroll. A simple
thing to do, but essential. By all
n\eans let interest 'be aroused.
Prisoners plead guilty in New
York, hired taxi drivers, and utilized
other means to get to Sing Sing
prison and begin serving inevitable
sentences before July 1, when new
regulations were to go into effect
which would tighten up the matter of
" commutations and pardons. You can
always depend upon criminals taking
every advantage of any enactment in
their favor. Soft hearted governors
extending clemency broadcast do as
much to encourage lawlessness as any
.'"other agencies in this, country.?

Don't Crowd the Editor
A western politician running for
f office was very incensed at certain
remarks which had been made about
&him by the leading paper of the town.
He burst into the editorial room like
a dynamite bomb and exclaimed:
"You are telling lies about me in your
" paper, and you know it!" _
'^You have no caUse for complaint,"
said the editor cooly. "What in the
"WOi'ld would you do if we told the
> truth about you?"
Somewhat Puzzling..^

Fine Herd of Guernsey Cattle.
A Chronicle man, in compay with
friends, visited the Gettys farm one
afternoon last week and was shown
over.this fine dairy farm, stocked with
pure bred Guernsey cattle. The farm
is operated*under the. name of the
Rock Springs Creamery and is under
the supervision of Mr. N. P. Gettys
and his brothers. He is now milking
forty-two head of Guernseys and has
other cattle on tho farm, including a
large number of calves. It is interesting
to hear Mr. Gettys call each
animal by her name, and in turn the
animals know their names. He can
tell you from memory the age and record
of every cow in pounds of milk
produced. He Has taken great pride
in this herd and it represents a number
of years of hard labor in caring
for them. In the herd is one milker
that Mr. Gettys has refused an offer
of one thousand dollars. Several in the
hbrd are valued at $250 to $300. He
finds ready sale for his milk and
cream in Camden, but is constantly
increasing the output and expects to
supply other markets during the fall.
It is only a litte more than ten miles
i from Camden, in West Wateree, and
i visitors find a cordial welcome at this
farm. While there we had the good
fortune to meet Mr. and Mrs. Wilse
W. Martin, of Columbia, who drove
over on a sight seeing trip.

KEKMHAW LADY DEAD
W?? Mother of M<r?. 8. F. IrMllifton
of Camden .
i i i i . /
Mr?. Mary F. Evano, widow of
B. A. Evans, of Chesterfield county)
who predeceased her a number of
yearn ago, died Wednesday night
about nine o'clock at the home of
her son-in-law, J. C. Beckham, on
north Matson street, after being confined
closely to tot bed for about
three weeks, and was buried Thursday
afternoorf at five o'clock in the
Kershaw cemetery, ^ after funeral
services conducted at the home of Mr.
Beckham by Mrs. Evans' pastor, Bev.
George E, Smith.
Mrs. Evans, who wag seventy-five
years of age, has made her hojne in
Kersha\y for a number of years, residing
in her own home until she was
stricken with paralysis about seven
years ago, when she gave up housekeeping
and took up her residence
with her children here, and visiting
from time to time her children who
had their abode in other places. She
subsequently h^d other strok.es of
paralysis, but would improve sufficiently
to be able to got up and be
about home again until her recent
illness, which kept her confined closely
to her bed until the end came.
Mrs. Evans was of that . nature
which prompted her to feel interested
in all mankind and moved her to
manifest it in unmistakable ways.
Her contact with friends and neighbors
was free and always pleasant
and left one feeling better for having
come into her presence. She was sincerely
loved" and most highly esteemed
by all who knew her and *?h? will
be missed becaue of the influence her
presence always radiated. She never
neglected attendance upon church so
long as it was at all possible for her
io attend, and throughout the years
of her affliction she never allowed
herself to be kept away if it was so
she could go at all. And when the
ehd came she passed out peacefully,
-maintaining consciousness almost to
sthe very last.
Mrs. Evans is survived by the following
children: W. Carl Evans, Los
Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. E. ?. Brasington
-and Mrs. J. C. Beckham, Kerohaw;
Mrs. S F Brasington, Camden, and
Mrs B. D. Stalnaker, of Lakeland,
\Fla. All of these, except Mr. Evans,
i were present when she died. ? One
sister, Mrs,. L. E. Gardner, and two
brothers, W. M. Miller and J. W.
*Miller, all of Jefferson, also survive.

The Bishopville fire department
fought the flames with dogged energy

stores occupied by Player-Hancock
Furniture Co., and Schneider Chain
atores respectively. ' Then, fearing
that the fire would get beyond control
a call for assistance was sent the
Sumter fire department. One truck
and eight firemen responding to the
cal! arrived on the scene within a
short time. However, the fire had
not gotten beyond control and the
local fire fighters would have! won
out in time, but with the reinforcements
from Sumter <to.afd in the
battle the flames were soon under
control. f:
The loss is estimated as follows:
W. E. Stafford, stock 326,000, insurance
$16,000.
Misses Parrotts Millinery, *loss
$1,000, partial insurance.
Building owped by .Dr. A. C. Baskin,
