Camden,, 8. C? Friday, Dee. 23, 1927. The Chronicle extends its merry greetings to ail of >t? large famJJy of readers, friends and patrons, aria especially do we hope that old Saint Nick will come to see all of the little girls and boys to whom the season means so much joy and happiness. That is a mighty fine record The Chronicle is reproducing this week from Solicitor A. F. Spigner, of this circuit. It is also a good record for Kershaw County in that not a murder has occurred in the county during the year. It again shows that ^he law enforcement officers of Kershaw County have been active in the number of prohibition violations before the court. Press disputches carrying Sunday morning an account of the horrible murder - committed in Los Angeles stunned the whole nation, and since then it has been the topic of conversation and condemnation wherever the Fhiglish language is spoken. It is without doubt .the most heinous crime ever committed in America. With women and children pawning their trinkets in order to help swell the reward-1?rewards nOw totalling more than one hundred thousand dollars have been placed on the head of the slayer, and with a definite description of the slayer, it is not believed..,that the demon can long remain uncaught. Says the Florence. News-Review; "Although this atrocious crime was committed on the other side of the United States, it is' brought , mighty close home to us fathers with dear little girls to love and protect.* With thousands searching for the depraved brute, and with the lure of a fortune in reward for his capture, surely he will pay, yet there are those who don't believe in capital punishment. The only trouble in this case is that there has never been devised punishment enough for that brand of criminal." Henry Ward Beecher once told of buying a $9 pig, feeding it $40 worth of corn, and selling it for $10; he said that he lost money on the corn, but he cleared a whole djpilar on the p i g.?M o n ro e Fr.quirer. At Christmas ami holiday times candlewax sometimes drops on clothing and makes u stain. Such stains usually consist of paraffin colored with pigment or dye. Remove the paraffin as completely as possible by scraping it away with a dull knife, or using a piece of blotting paper and a warm iron. If a grease stain remains, use a solvent, such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ether, gasoline, naphtha or benzol, which may at the same time help dissolve any dye on the fiber. Sponging with wood alcohol may be tried if any dye remains. No street here was ever paved with money sent away by our citizens for puichase from other cities, no school . teacher was ever paid with money -p on mail order goods, no paywas ever met hcio with these ah-u i.tee dollars. The home town merchant is able to meet your every need, his function to he your puivhasing agent, to stock the goods you require against the day you call for them. He is the man whose enterprise gives values ftp a tax and rent producer to the business district of our city; he is behind every movement for the good of the community. He is entitled to your patronage and it is unfair to yourself and your city 1 to wit hold it. The best and surest means of upbuilding the home community, of increasing the value of its citizens' property, of enlarging its opportunities, is to keep your money at home and make it work for everybody here.?says the' Rockingham Post Dispatch, ^ - -- ' \ To remove a gvease stain from a rug after dust has settled into the grease spot and the rug has become unsightly: If possible scrape off part of the grease and dirt with a dull knife, and then scrub the stain with a soft brush and warm soapsuds. Or maybe the spot can be absorbed, by * pne or more applications of fuller|s earch. French chalk, or talcum ponder, or by blotting paper, and a .warm iron. A solvent, such as carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or benzine, v may be used. Gasoline and benzine , are very inflamable, and must never be used in the same room with an open fire or flame of any kind. A fleshly spilled liquid should not be rubbed from a enrpet or rug, because ? this tends to drive it Into the fabric, if possible, the liauid should be covered at once with corn meal, 1 ?talcum powder, blotting paper torn wJnto bits, or Any absorbent ma' Serial which will *1 ?P and keep ?gt froa ' M^nV^n of. high ' itended the . ft&wal of Itk- B.

Here we ere again" ex^ claims an editorial writer in ? tiarle publication call**! The liougUWu Lim^ . who sums up his convictions regarding Christmas as it in observed In the United State# as "The Unchrtstianlike Christmas." "If you should ask me what one single event more than any other is tire beginning of divorce, family unh?Dpinea., financial embarrassment and human discouragement, I would unhesitatingly say, "This unehriatianllke thing we call Christmas," says this apostle of efficiency. Among his lamentations are the stupendous waste of the Christmas shoppers; the discord and envy cauaed by the distribution and reception of gifts; the hypocrisy of much of the giving; the long hours of work by women making gifts; the embarrassment of people receiving gifts tbey don't need or want; "the awful stun some folks buy," the promiscuity of the Christmas card habit; overeating on Christinas day; and the general ill health caused by-the worry and ax- ' citement of folks a^ Christmas time. 1 The gentleman purports to know a ! millionaire who last Christmas re- ' ceived four bath robes, three cigar ' cutters, one cigar lighter, eight boxes of cigars and two pipes?and does not smoke. He knows a young married couple who traded in a fine rug they 1 had received as a gift tot a radio. ' Such indictments against the no- ( torious Saint Nick are not new, being repeuted with more or less emphasis ' before, und after every Christmas i season. The appulling thing is that ' the culj^it invariably escapes prosecution. Here he is ready to make his ' ruid upon humanity again and put his Bcoffers to rout. Efficiency experts have no respect for Saint Nich?but neither has saint Nich for the efficiency experts.?Greenville Nfews. ( What, becomes of your dismantled i Christmas tree after the holidays? . Don't try to burn it in the fireplace, . even If partially cut up. The dry, , brittle evergreen will start a roaring , fire and possibly set fire to the chimney, endangering the house. Have the tree dragged ?*ay to a safe place for a bonfire, and use it as a nucleus to get rid of any other rubbish that can be burned up. The same precautions apply to any sort of Christmas greens. GENERAL NEWS NOTES Forest fires which have swept over several large areas of southern California during the past few days, have entailed property losses running into many millions of dollars. A. H. Frierson, of Hopkins, is selling thirty dozen eggs a week, at forty to sixty cents a dozen, as a side lino to farming. A license inspector has been bust around Great Palls and fined motorists $75 the first day ar.d $10 the next day he operated there. Bennettsvllle has a community Christnuis tree at. one side of the court house square and it will be kept lighted until December 27. | Dr. John H. Miller, 61), a prominent physician of Cross Hill and former I member of the legislature from Laurens county, dropped dead on a street corner in his home town Friday running. He had retired from practice a few years ago. Erskint college and the VVomans College of Due West have consolidated by action of the two boards of trustees. The consolidation is effective at once, and hereafter Erskine College will be the institution possessing the erttire plant of the farmer Womans College of Due West. I he federal court in session at Spartanburg broke the district record* for handling criminal cases last week by disposing of ninety-five cases in four days, with acquittal of only four persons in two cases. Union county furnished 05 of the cases from bootlegger raids. . Mrs. Margaret Lilliandahl and \S illis Beach were sentenced at Mays Landing, N-. J? Saturday to serve ten years each in prison after conviction of manslaughter, in the 'case of the woman's husband, who ic is alleged was murdered by the wife and Beach. 1 he house of ? representatives on Saturday unanimously voted to present a congressional medal of honor to Col. Charles Lindbergh, in recognition of his flight to Paris. Lindbergh's appearance on the floor of the house thr#w that body into confusion as the representatives broke into enthusiastic applause. The United States senate has ordered and begun an investigation of allegations made by the Hearst newspapers that four senators had received' $1,240,000 from President Calles of Mexico, fop the purpose of gaining certain objectives in thC United States Ivan M. Hart, confessed slayer of his bride of three weeks, was. fouryi guilty of second degree "murder in the' court at Eureka, Kan.,( Saturday. More than thirty lives were reported lost as a result of the. e^tveme cold weather in the middle west last week." By a vote of 215 to 75 the house of representatives at Washington, voted its approval of the proposed raising of the elevation of naval guns on ships in order to increase the range of such guns, provided the raising is permissible under the Washington arms limitation treaty. Buck Mix'on, a white man 50 years old, was put in jail at Sumter charged with assault with intent to kill after he had hit Newu^n with an ax and - almost cmt off his arm at the wrist, Newman wi}l probably lose his hand. Last summer, Mr. Newman collected some money and bought Mixon a suit of-cjothes ,so .the latter could go tpWhiircfc Last .qreek Mixdn stopped Mr..

President Coolidge . talked with William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, about soft coal labor troubles in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio. Labor men charge that railroads are united " to depress prices of coal tor fuel purposes." Government might to certain cases affecting public welfare fix prices of the product and the labor that produces it. ' " There was no hesitation about fixing the wheat prices during the war, a fixing process that cost the farmers about $2 on every bushel that they might have got and didn't get on every bushel. The much discussed "companionate" marriage of a young man of twenty with the eighteen-year-old daughter of Mr. Haldeman-Jalius is not as new as it seemed. After marriage each will live at home to solve problems of housekeeping, while the - bride continues her work in high school and then in college, and the young man continues studying at the University of Kansas. If the marriage doesn't turn-out to be perfect, the plan is to arrangte for a divorce. ^ ' < t That is lopkiitg farther ahead than young people generally care to loo*. Life, marriage and other things may not be perfect, but the young think, hope and believe that they ate.v And thinking, hoping and believing gradually build up what is worth while in life. ? A . Germany signs the League of Nations agreement "affording protection to women workers before and after childbirth." A woman would be allowed to quit work six weeks before the birth of a child and remain a way six weeks afterward, with pay and free medical attention. That sounds almost like civiJiza tion?governments compelling em ployers to do for women what intelligent horse owners did for ip;?re a thousand years ago. ' i i A tax assessor at Washington, p. C., values White House, building and grounds, at $22,000,000; the Capitol, $53,000,000: State, War and Navy buildings, $13,500,000; Treasury Building, $23,000,000. Uncle Sam should get some flyiug machines to protect all that property. A dozen bombing enemy fliers could soon knock those buildings around the ears of men that live or work in the/p. A mother and father hid $60 in a bureau drawer, telling only their thirteen-year-old daughter, Christina, where the money was. It disappeared. Three times the girl -denied that she had stolen the motley, then drank carbolic acid and may die. Not all parents realize a child's Jj. tensity of feeling. ?t *' Judge Inch says "one slip" dr>6s not prove a woman immoral, or justify withholding citizenship fVoht her. It seems to depend on the size arid kind of the slip. Poor Eve bit thfe apple and that slip cost not only her citizenship but her actual residence in the Garden and the great privilege of bearing children without pain. Besides, the law, which allows each dog one bite before condemning him, migh^.'well allow a lady one slip. Buth Elder, charming young lady, attratced attention and . newspapers gave her at least $100,000,000 worth of free apdvertising. Now the intelli-. gent Loew Company gives her $1,000 a day for 100 days to tell about it jn vaudeville. For $100,000 intelligent Mr. Nfec^olas M.

Stuckey, of Sumter. Paul V. Moore, after serving for twenty years as secretary of the Spartanburg County Fair association, has resigned to accept a similar position with the South Carolina State Faifl association. Under his management the county fair has become one of the leading institutions of the kind in the two Carolines. George Carter Riser, Confederate veteran of the 3rd South Carolina regiment, died at Whitmire, Sunday night aged 82 years. He had lived at Whitmire for twenty years and was a prominent citizen and retired, farmer. He had been a Baptist deacon for many years. The State Dental society will hold its annual meeting at Myrtle Beach in May. The South Carolina Bankers association will hold its convention in Myrtle Beach again next summer. John Lindler, 16, working in ft roadside ditch was killed when hit by a wheel rim which came off a passing truck. Robert Emnjet Houston, of Greenville won the Ten ^Oyck oratorical contest at Yale, the highest oratorical honor there. ^ Miss Martha Linda Franks, of Luurens, is preparing to return as a missionary to China whence she was driven by the civil war last spring. A baby thirteen months old fell into a tub of water in the back yard of its home in Greenville, and drowned with its head under water and its feet barely touching the ground. R. J. Parrish, 16, was shot and fatally wounded by Fred Burnett after a fist fight in a dispute about one of the wooden block puzzles, in a filling station at Boiling Springs, Monday evening, and Burnett, who lives near Ciylyle was jailed until the result of Parrish's wounds, caused him to be held for murder^ Alvi Rogers, of Marlboro county, died from gunshot wounds and Pete Roller is held by the coroner for his death. Rogers had frequently gone to Roller's home and whipped him and the last time he went there, Roller asked him to go away and then shot him. Rogers lived a week and then died.
