This waa 8 splendid address and was

It this meeting, having departmental
rork, etc., that Kershaw county stood
fourth from the top on the score,
jiis is a fine record and all Kerbw

Camden Party on Hunt in Croat
San toe Swamp
J. E. Taylor of New Brook land,
employed by the Hardaway Construction
company, bagged a 500pound
bear on the Brookland-Lexington
hunting preserve in the Saq,tee
swamp, 40 miles below Sumter,
yesterday morning.
Exhibition of the skin of the animal
In front of The State office late
last night attracted considerable attention
and for quite a while crowds
gathered around the skin spread on
the sidewalk.
In describing the battle with the
bear Mr. Taylor said last night that
he had been on the deer stand, on
Black Oak island, for only about 20
minutes when he turned and saw the
animal approaching from behind. At
a distance of about seven paces, he
said, he fired his first shot, which
did no more than infuriate the animal,
which kept coming on him.
The second load^Owever, had more
deadly effect and at this shot the bear
began retreating. Beftae the animal
escaped from him Mr. Taylor
had fired six shots, using loads of
double-0 buckshot.
Forty-seven hunters were on the
party and in attempting to escape
the bear ran across several of them
who fired on him. From the spot
where he was first shot the bear was
trailed for about half a mile before
he was finally found dead. He was
shot about 17 times.
The bear, apparently an old animal,
measured seven feet and six inches
from head to tail. His head was
about the Bize of that of a bull and
his teeth were badly worn.
Mr. Taylor resides in New Brookland
and last night he said that he
planned to have a rug made from the
bear skin.
- The party was chiefly hunting
deer, when the bear was bagged. A
fine buck, weighing between 85 and
100 .pounds, was shot by a Sumter
member of the party.?Saturday's
Columbia State.,

Making Good On Team
In the football game played on
Memorial Field at Anderson, on
Armistice Day, between the Clemsonfreshmen
and the Presbyterian College
freshmen, Clemson was -victorious
by a score of 32 to 0. Of interest
to Camden followers of the
game is the fact that Frank Sowell,
son of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Sowell, of
Camden and captain of last year's
Camden High sje^iool football squad,
played his tfrst game with the
freshmen class and was one of the
outstanding stars as full back. A
sports writer in telling of the game
refers to Sowell as "one of the greatest''
plunging and running full backs
ever seen in action on Memorial
Field."
Revival Continues.
"The Rev. A, S. Lockee, Indian
Evangelist is doing some 'straight
shooting' and the Gospel "Arrows'
are falling in torrents at the Wateree
Baptist church, says Rev. T. L. Willingham.
The. meeting will continue
through Sunday night.

who are talented musicians will

TO HELP MOTOR APPLICANTS
State Highway Department To Send
Inspector** Into Every Town
This season the Motor Vehicle Division
of the State Highway Department
is sending representatives into
every section of South Carolina so
that owners of automobiles may make
direct application to the representatives
for their linJB automobile
license plates.
The State has been divided into
fourteen districts with a representative
making headquarters in the most
central city of each district. He
will maintain an office at a specified
location in the central portion of
that city. On certain days and at
specified hours he will go to neaifoy
towns where offices will also be
maintained. In this manner practically
every town and hamlet in
South Carolina will be regularly
visited by a Highway representative.
Owners of automobiles who reside in
these districts may apply for licenses
to the representative and receive an
official receipt. Daily reports will be'
made to the Department, licenses being
issued the following day.
The fourteen Inspectors of the
Highway Department are being sent
to the several districts in order to
give a personal service and informs-.
tion to those needing it. According
to Mr. Turner, Director of the Motor
Vehicle Division, it is not intended
that applications should be nvade to
these representatives that might
otherwise be mailed direct to the Department.
In fact," car owners are
urged to mail their applications at
the earliest possible moment.
A sub post office is being established
at the Highway Department to
facilitate the mailing of licenses. Tbb
Department is making every effort
to give car owners the quickest service
in its history.
Those who make applications for
licenses in December work a hardship
not only on the Department, but
on the post offices, for it is at the
season of the year when mails are
burdened with the annual Christmas
rush.
Through the cooperation of business
firms listed below, desk space
is being allotted representatives without
cost to the Department. Following
is sn itcncrsry which 8?i\r(?a ^
the town, location, date and hours^
that the representatives will be at'
their desks.
License Inspector W. M. Clark, of
the State Highway Department, will
be in the following places and the
dates named below.
