stole a Packard club sedan from
Thomas J. Sullivan of 4U5 Orange
street, New JIaven, a 1925 model, and

they could not find. On the way back
they picked up three companions and
brought them to a point of about two
miles on the western side of the
Wateree river. There the car broke
down and it was left in chargfc- of i
Robert Evans and John Moore While i
the others made their way towards
Camden. Mr. John T. Mackey of the

Local Trade Body Get* I nder V\a>
I or Another Successful Year
Iho Camden and Kershaw County
( ha tuber of Commerce met ul the new
and very attractive Crescent Lake
ilub house on last Friday evening
and this event marked the first of
tiie monthly dinner-conference* to lie
held throughout the coming year b\
1 resident H, (i. Carrison, Jr., and the;
newly elected directorate which is
highly representative of the most
progressive thought of the community.
Mr. * ^ Mirchmore invoked the
blessing of Deity and, following an
elaborate.menu and characteristic unpointmen:s
of service, the business of
the assembly was called to order by I
the new president, Mr. Carrison.'
whose first official act was a besuti-j
ful and fitting tribute to the ones;
who had previously served in the '
capacity to which he was acceding.
Mr. Currison review*! at length the
successes and many accomplishments
which the commercial body has gained '
under the leadership of Mr. M. II. j
lleyman and Mr. K. M. Kennedy, Jr., j
and upon the presiding officer's
motion these gentlemen were extend-1
ed a using vote of thanks.
Mr. I< 1. Hinman of Oneida,"N. Y., j
was introduced as the speaker of the.
evening and his address on "Advertis-j
ing? liased on Personal Kxperienees," I
will long be recognized as a distinct'
contribution toward the further d6velopment
of this locality through his
suggested measures which were so
clearly illustrptetl. Mr. Hinman
stated that he was in Camden as a'
result of the recent advertising cam-1
paign sponsored by the local chamber
of commerce and voiced his thorough
appreciation of the truth of its ad-'
vertising. "One of the greutest factors
that enters any successful ad-i
vertlsement is ability to ' render the'
service expected and here in Camdon,"
said the notably successful mun-'
ufacturer of the famous llinmnn
Automatic Milker, "you can render!
no greater service than to maintain
thf? courtesy, the \y?rm and genuine
Southern hospitality, that is so easily
distinguished as traditional of Camden
and which even now is so worthy
of admnation."
Mr. L. I. Guion, vice-president of
the Federal Land Iiank and a director'
of the chamber of commerce, was next,
to address the body and his express-.
ions were keenly optimistic as related
to agricultural conditions. The speak-i
er declared that South Carolina was!
at TTfCkent more diversified in its
method of farming than any sta'e '
with the exception of California, and j
t>at Kershaw was in better financial I
shape than any other county to which
he was conversant. This was attrib-i
u table in substantial part, Mr. Guion
said, to the fact that locnl bankjng'
systems had never permitted land >
values to extend beyond conservative
bounds. u
Mr. Henry Savage, Jr., presented
the names of sixty young men of
Camden who are anxious to form a
Young Men's Business League und to
co-operate with the chamber of com-!
merce along every line of community j
improvement. x President Carrison ap-1
pointed a committee to act with Mr. |
Snvage in organizing the junior civic I
body, and it is oxpected that a complete
organization will be functioning,
within a short time.
The newspapers of Camden were
mentioned for their courteous service
toward the commercial builders 'and,
in replying to. Mr. Carrison, Mr.
Birchmore of The Messenger and
Ferris McDowell of The Chronicle
both, voiced the pleasure and pride of
their institutions at being permitted
,to serve an agency so vitally connected
with the welfare and development
of Camden and Kershaw County.
Mr. H. G. Carrison, Sr., Governor
John G. Richards, and Mr. John T.
Stevens of Kershaw were re-elected
honorary members of the board and
will serve again in this capacity rfs
they did last year.
Mr. John M. Villepigue took opportunity
during the evening to express
his appreciation for a watch and
chain recently presented by the citizens
of Caftden as a token of their
appreciation for his splendid and very
successful efforts as assistant athletic
director of the Camden High school.
Mayor C. P. DuBose, Mrs. J. B.
Zemp, Mr. C. H. Yates, Mr. J. G,
Richards, Jr., Mr. J. H. Osborne and
Mr. C. C. Whitaker were others whe
spoke of their confidence in the continued
advancement of the community
< and of their belief that the coming
year will witness many outstanding
successes for the chamber of com
merce.'
