Wear More Cotton
/ The Sumter Rotary club at > its
meeting held November 1, adopted the
following resolutions and has sent it
all over the South for wide distribution:
Resolved, that we urge our general
assembly ut its next meeting to enact
laws requiring that all cotton be
packed in cotton bagging weighing
two pounds per yard and that six
yards be put on each bale.
That we actively support a campaign
to induce thV manufacturers of I
f cotton picking sheets, the shippers of
grain and feed stuffs, the manufacturers
and shippers of fertilizer, and
all others using bags, to make and use
< onlyVottoft bags for their products.
That we suggest, and actively support,
a movement to encourage the
wearing of cotton garments by the
people of the South, especially during
the warm period, and that any and all
garments that can be worn with com........
fort during the entire ye*tr, be used
in preference to those not made oi
cotton.
That we request the active co-operation
of each of the Rotary clubs
in the cotton belt?as well as that of
othor similar clubs?to procure similar
action in their respective states.
Wherein He Fell Short
A candidate for congress from a
certain western state was never shy
about telling the voters why they
should send him to Washington.
"1 am a practical farmer," he said
boastfully at one meeting. "I can |
4 plow, reap, milk cows, shoe a horse;
in fact, 1 should like you to tell me
one thing about a farm which 1 can
not do."
Then, in the impressive silence, a
voice asked from the back of the hall:
"Pan you lay an egg?"

CAMDEN TIES SCORE HERE
Roth Team* Play Good Fqptbitll With
Score Eliding In 7-7 Tie i
Thanksgiving Duy in Camden fur- ,
pished one of the moat brilliant ex- |
h:hit :o!ih of high school football ever
Ma^t-d anywhere. The BatesbtirgLeeavillo
outfit, coming to Camden as
champion of the eighth and ninth distrlets,
was known to have a powerful
'aggregation and a system of techniquc
that would do credit to profossional
ranks.
Upon the kick-off from Camden the
visitor* soon proved that they had
everything they had been rated to
possess and then some when, during
the first three minutes of play they
rushed the Camden line for gains thai
left tlic hall resting within eight
yards of the goal posts. Then Batesburg-Lcexville
made a fumble thai
possibly cost mother district decision.
A recovery; it was Camden's ball, and
the Bulldogs were headed toward the
touchdown that really meant more
than alj the wild applause it received.
<h?rnphell carried the hall over after
Trapp had made the longest end run
of the day and after Trapp again had
received Campbell's long and perfect
pass. Trapp added the extra point
and there was no further scoring unci!
Batexbui g-Ueesville came ahreyst
of Camden with their seven points ir.
the third quarter.
(ioodale played his best game of the
season and Burn?;, too, played football
that showed the spirit of a clever
coach popping out in almost every
move. Individual stars, bright though
they may shine, grow dim in * the
'light of their team's work so well
done. .Such was the day in Camden.
The score was a tie hut the team of
Bulldogs made it their best game yet.
The attendance was estimuted at
between five hundred and six hundred.
Officials: Holland (Carolina) referee;
McCurry (Furman) umpire; Guion

BUYING CIRCUS FOR CAMDEN
Well Known Aviator To Return Here
With New and Speedier CraTt
Local sports enthusiasts and all
lovers of the thrill that comes but
! once in a long while will be interested
j to learn that a return engagement
has been arranged for the. Williams
Hying Circus which last September
gave such pleasing exhibitions in this
city.
Lieutenant. Williams, who is a
former overseas army flyer, is this
time flying a new ship of Standard
make and design and, carrying only
two passengers, is a much faster and
mine versatile machine than the fivepassengor
plane which he has flown
on former visits here.
Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock the
plane will appear over Camden on
a picture-taking and stunt flight and
will at this time drop copies of The
Chronicle, copies of which, when properly
indicated, will -be good for complimentary
rides over the city,
i A decided bit of local olor will
be added to the Sunday afternoon exhibition
when two young men 6f this
city will climb to an altitude of 3,000
feet, deaden the plane's motor and,
stAnting toward earth, will attempt
landing with a still propellor. Th:s
is said to be one of the most hazardous,
as well as spectacular, feats
known to aviation as the plane is
without power of recovery, should
such be necessary, and the safety of
the party will rest solely inthe abilfty
of Lieutenant Williams to calculate
distances and possible atmospheric
variations. ? _
Other stunts fov the program which
begins promptly at 2 o'clock Sunday
afternoon will include high exhibition
flights, looping the loop for ten successive
times, Immerman turns, the
well known falling leaf and the less
popular barrel roll.
The Springdale field, which is said
he. one of the best in the South,
will he used and in. case of unfavorable
weather the same program will
hold good for the following week-end.
