CAMHKN SCOUTS WIN GUI'
Tfa* City To I*ky Boat At Next
Annual Rally of/Boy Scouts
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday of
last week the local troop Boy Scouts
of America weht to Sumter fur a
week.^1 rally. Besides two troops
from Sumter, there were troops from
lim/nonavilLe and Sumrnerton Asaiatant
Scoutmaster Moultrie Bums
was in charge of the Camden Troop,
which consisted of about twenty members.
I he troop left < atiuien at almut
o'clock Friday afternoon and the remainder
of that day was used to pitch
tenta and get acquainted. On Saturday
the contests were held. There
were fourteen events including swimming
which was divided into different
events.
1 he Camden troop made a splendid
start winning the first two events.
1 he first event was the pony express.
Those representing the Camden troop
in this event were Scouts A. Bateman,
Walter Khame, Thomas Wooten,
Bob Kennedy and Charlie DeLo&che
as rider. The second event was signalling
from a tower built by the
Scouts. Those representing Camden
were Scouts Ansel Bateman, Thomas
Wooten, Walter Wooten; on the
shoulders of these were Scouts JotLang,
Jack Boyd, and Shell Sheorn,
and Charlie Dolxiache was hoisted to
the top of the tower by Scout John
Richardson where he signalled "Be
prepared," the Scout motto.
1 he other events in succession
were Broad jump relay which was
won by the Sumter troop; the knottying
contest which was won byHomer
Baldwin representing the
Ckmden troop and for which he received
a medal; first aid contest, won
by Ansel Bateman, John Richardson
and Walter Rhame as doctors and
Charlie DeLoache as patient representing
the Camden troop and for
which the troop was awarded a medal.
Tho tent pitching contest went to
Sumter and was lost only after a hard
fight by Scouts Julian Burns and Jpe
Jenkins. Signalling went to Sumter
as did also the swimming contest although
Scout Richardson won the
swimming race, an event of the swimming
contest.
In, the field events, the hundred
yard dash was won by Scout Lyons
of the Sumter troop, but Camden won
second and third places when Scouts
Thomas Wooten and Rob Kennedy
crossed the line. The 220 yard dash
was won by Scout Lyons also, but
Scout Rob Kennedy came in second
for Camden. The three legged race
went to Sumter as did also the broad
jump but Scout .Thomas Wooten won
the high jump for the Camden troop.
As the cup was donated by the
Sumter council it was awarded to the
Camden troop although the Sumter
troop won first honors at the rally.
This was done because of a verysportsmanlike
"rule made by the
donors that the visiting troop making
highest scores must be awarded the
cup. This conduct on the part of the
Sumter council is most indicative of
the true scout spirit. Although all
the glory of the victory is Sumter's
and the Camden scouts congratulate
them heartily, it is hoped that next
year when the rally will v|^e held in
Camden under the auspices of the
Young Men's Business League and
the Chamber of Commerce, the Camden
scouts will be able to retain the
cup and reciprocate the sportsmanship
of the Sumter troop and council.
Fishermen, Look This Over!
Newberry, May 19.?Sims Brown of
Newberry, a successful farmer, good
hunter and an excellent fisherman,
knows what a feeling it is to be pulled
from off a large limb extending out
over Saluda river by a twelve and
one-half pound fish.
Mr. Brown, in company with another
person, had gone to Saluda
river near Silverstreet Monday to
spend the day fishing. Walking out
on a large limb and overlooking the
river he dropped his hook in the
water and before very long a twelve
and one-half pound fish had grabbed
the hook and with a quick jerk pulled
Mr. Brown off of the limb and before
he hardly knew anything he was
in water over his head.
When he came to the top of the
water he managed to grab a limb and
held on to it until the fish had finally
given up, after which he climbed back
up the tree and landed his fish.
Undaunted by the ducking he remained
and caught a large number of
the fish before leaving.
A firebug of Tarrytown, N. Y., has
set more than twelve fires within
tho past few- weeks. The fire losses
exceed $50,000.

How Mr Began llis Career As An,
Author Told By Ihogtaphy
"My brother had, in 17.M) or 17'J l.j
j begun to print a newspaper It was
the second that appeared in America,
and with called the New England
('out ant. The only one before it
whs the Boston News leader. I remember
his being dissuaded by some
of his friends from the undertaking,
as not likely to succeed, one npwspuper
being, in their judgthet.t, !
enougb fot America." At this lim^, i
1771, there are not less thin five-]
arid-twenty He went on, however.l
with the undertaking, ami after having
worker! in composing the types
and printing off the sheets, I was
employed to carry the papers through
the streets to the customers. He had
some ingenious men among his .
friends, who amused themselves by I
writing little pieces for this paper, i
which gained it credit and made it
more in demand, and these gentlemen
often visited us. Hearing their conversations,
and their accounts of the
approbation their papers were received
with, 1 was excited to try my hand
among them; but being still a boy,
and suspecting that my brother would
object to printing anything of mine
in his paper if he knew it to be mine,
I contrived to disguise my hand, and
writing an anonymous paper. I put it
in at night under the door of the :
I printing-house. It was found in the j
morning, and communicated to his
writing friends when they called in
as usual. They read it, commented on
it in my hearing, and I had the exquisite
pleasure of finding it met with
j their approbation, and that in their
different guesses at the author, none
were named but men of some charac- (
ter among us for learing and ingenuity.
I suppose now that 1 was rather
lucky in my judges, and that perhaps
they were not really so very good ones
its I then esteemed them.?From
