Camden, 8. C? Friday. July 16, 1626. in i ? 1 That young white men loafing around without visible means of sup* port and suspected of being bootleggers be warned to go to work, failure, to comply with this admonition to be followed by their arrest, was recom-1 mended by the York county grand jury Tuesday. The report of the grand jury adds that many young men of the county, aome of them very young, have been contaminated by whiskey. The Bank of Hampton, the oldest bank in the county and generally denominated 4tthe old reliable," failed to open ita doors for business Monday morning. A notice on its door infrms the public that pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors, the bank will be cloned for thirty days and that, for tuch period, its affairs will <be in the hands of the state bank examiner. Bam King, who waa convicted of I murder with recommendation to mercy and was sentenced to life imprisonment by Judge J. K. Henry in general sessions court at Cheater last week and whose attorneys noted an appeal for a new trial, has decided to accept the verdict of the court and Wednesday was taken to the state penitentiary. Disclosures that the American Bank and Trust Company of Columbia owned stock in several motor companies, to two of which it made heavy loans and also had loaned $105,000 to the Southern Motor Company, of which I.

Under this heading the Atlanta Constitution of recent date takes the promising career of Richard Champion De&aussure as the subject of an jtditorial tribute to one whose passing so early in life brings sorrow to many Jn this city. Champ DeSaussure was the son of a former Camden lady and often visited here where he had numbers of relatives and friends and these will keenly appreciate the fitting words of The Constitution: "The tragic death, in the waters at Lakemont, of young Richard Champion LoKau*?uic, Jr., of Atlanta, shocks a large circle of his personal friends, arid of the friends of a distinguished family that goes back to colpnial days in its outstanding prominence in the* business and cultural life of this section. "Just 22 years of age, he had graduated with high honors in the Boys1 high school of Atlanta and then with even higher honors in the Georgia School of Technology. He had entered actively and earnestly into business, with the road ahead of him full of promise. ... "His character was without a blemish, his dispoaition pregnant with sunshine and hope, his companionship elevating, and his influence- upon his associates uplifting and strengthening. "Even though such a life, in a span of scarcely more than two scores of, yeans, found its end all too soon and; before the fruits of material accom-! plishment could hkve ripened young Champ DeSaussure left an enduring monument in the example set by an irreproachable career that impressed itself upon everyone who knew him. "He lived to love and to serve. He was never happier than when doing something for others^ His ever beaming countenance and his characteristic smite radiated sunshine. He Was the idol of his home and a constant | joy to his friends. I "The inspiration of such a life be-j comes a memorial more lasting thanj that left by many a man past his I three score and ten and whom the world terms 'great,' for the heartening virility and the strengthening character of such a life will continue to serve, and to build and to elevate others who were fortunate enough to be thrown within the sphere of so sweet an influence."

Open DEATH PENALTY REVIVED Cuban la (iarroU4 For Murder ot Hi* Aunt Santiago De Cuba, July 12.?The death penalty in Cuba was revived after a lapee of 20 years when early today Salvador Aguilera wm garroted for the murder of his aunt, Caridad Suarez, in Sagua de Tanamo. Aguilera became hysterical and was given restoratives; he then walked unassisted from the death cell to the garrote, accompanied J&y guards and his spiritual advisor. The condemned man's arms and legs were tied by the official executioner, Paula' Romero, and his assistant, Frank Davis, a Savannah, Ga., negro veteran of the battle of San Juan Hill in 1?98, serving a two year sentence for robbery. Aguilera yesterday expressed disapproval of Davis* action in volunteering as assistant executioner, the two having been confined in* the same jail for over a year. As the garrote was placed about his neck Aguilera saUM "He who goes to death at this moment is not a criminal. He is Citizen Salvador Aguilera, innocent of the crime for which he has been condemned." Paulo Romero signaled to the official witnesses and the condemned man's spiritual adviser, the only persons who actually saw the execution, that all preparations had been made. The executioner then leaned over Aguilera's shoulder and asked: "Dost thou pardon me?" The condemned man, with a slight smile on his'lips, replied in a low clear voice: "I pardon thee, and may God also pardon thee!" The executioner pressed the lever of the garrote and shortly the attending physicians pronounced life extinct.? '"v . " - ?? Paula Romero was on the verge of hysterics immediately after the execution, but Davis was unaffected. The prison sentences of both will be shortened a* a reward. TP , The body of Aguilera was left in.! the garrote for the customary four hours and buried this afternoon by his father and mother. Romero had made the coffin. all day Sunday.
