The gravel company, a joint enter- J prise of L. O. Funderburk, W. C. > Seagle and J. A. Ixmghlin, all local 1 men, wlLl have its plant located on \ Wateree river just below Camden on i what is known as the "old Guiguard j place." Its operations will consist i of pumping gravel and sand from \ the bars in the river where freshets have left large deposits of tjiese materials, putting them through grading process and marketing them for , use in paving and other construction. v The pumping work is to be done M under the management of Hugh 1'enuel and J. P. Wilson of Orlundo. r They will pump the gravel and sand a 10 the Camden Gravel company's screening plant where it will be ' screened unp loaded for market, it i is said that the deposits of gravel j are sufficient for several years' con- f tinual operation without any appreciable movement of the plant. t Evidence of the value of the enter- , prise* is shown by the fact that the u Northwestern Railway of ISouth Caro- ( lina is now gracing more than three miles of roadbed from its yards at , Camden to the site of the gravel ,, plant. * a According to the Loughlin Engineering company, engineers for the railroad, the whole of the NorthWestern's terminal yards at Camden will shortly be laid with heavier rails and a considerable addition to the present yards, which are located north c of DeKalb street, is being con- f strutted in the open land in the in- * terior bf the block immediately south 1 of that street. This latter increase * in the railroad's facilities . has been ? rendered necessary through the great 1 increase in its Camden business dur- * ing the last year or more. 1 The operation of the gravel works * will commence as soon as the rush work that is now being conducted by ? the Northwestern railway on its ex- J tensions is completed, which, it is ' said, should be within three weeks. s . c To Issue New Booklet. a The Chamber of Commerce h^s in prospect a new booklet of Camden views. It ought to be of interest to every .Camden citizen to lend what help each one can to insure the booklet doing fullv justice to our city. There are a great many people in Camden, both resident and visiting who have made, or can make, or may make pictures of the many charming buildings and beauty spotsj The Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce asks that all those who have pictures that could be of use send these pictures in to him at his office. A committee will go over these pictures and select those thought to be best for use. Very probably it will be possible to insert under the pictures used the usual little text giving credit to the person whose picture is used. Because the production of the booklet is under way right now, the Chamber of Commerce will appreciate promptness in sending in what pictures you may have. To be of use the pictures ought to be fairly sharp, in detail, and of such scenes as would be probably of drawing interest to prospective tourist visitors. For instance, beauty is a qualification of course, and some quality specially Southern or related to local history. ' Had Distinguished Guests. , #* Saint Mary's rectory had as dinner guests on Monday the Bishop of Charleston^ Rt. Rev. Emmet M. Walsh, D. D., Very Rev.

Miller, twenty-five, prlnci i-ai of the Langley-Bath High School, and William R. McElveen, Jr., his student, wore recovered from the Langloy pond at 6:30 o'clock this afternoon, with their arms encircling each other. The body of young McElveen slipped back into the water when the boatmen, who had located it with a drag hook, were endeavoring to get it into a boat and it took more than an hour to locute it again. Four thousand people watched the March today that was begun yesterday morning, when the boat that the men went duck hunting in came float ing to the bank and no trace was seen of professor or student. The gates of the pond were drawn Sulur day afternoon and charges of dynamite were exploded with the hope ut' forcing the bodies to view, but no sign of them was seen until the drag hook caught them late today. I'rof. Miller, of York, who was graduated from .Clemson College in 1926, taught science and coached football and baseball at Berkley High School, Moncks Corner, in 192(1; served at the Langley-Hath High School as principal and headed ull athletics, and McElveen,/son of William McElveen, superintendent of the Langley Mills in Horse Creek valley, went duck hunting on the pond at 6 o'clock Saturday morning. At 7 o'clock their boat drifted to the shore with the hunters missing, but currying both guns and completely dry. This, with the fact that a dead duck was found floating on the surface of the wuter, gives rise to the theory that one of the men, in reaching out too far for the dead game, tumbled | into the lake, the companion dived to his aid, and both were drowned in the attempted rescue. Mr. Miller is known to have been a gQod swimmer. People who live near the water reserve say they heard several shots, fired, and one man states he saw Mi'. Miller standing in the boat, and later saw the men-struggling in the water. ? ,A. ' v I Miss Ruth Rogers, a saleslady of.
