With better mechanical facilities we are going to try to l.eep the paper up to its standard. That Camden is a mighty good town to live in ?nd Camden people are fine to live amongst is proven by a most generous act on the part of a number of our citizens. Through the joint efforts of Mr. C. M. Taintor, who makes his winter home here, and Messrs. W. H. Haile and H. G. Garrison, Jr. a nice little sum of money was raised and presented to Chief of Police H. D. Hilton yesterday at noon. Mr." Hilton is a faithful nnd efficient police officer and was hard hit by a fire loss last Friday morning and was left with nothing. He was given u check for 31,7f>.'i and this will go a long ways towards getting him started again. Mr. Hilton came here .several years ago, practically a stranger to all our people, but has made good and is held in high esteem. Mrs. Amanda Brown of New Prospect, died the other flay at the age of J'f without ever being on a railroad train. She was born where she died in a suburb of Spartanburg. Five members of the True Light church convicted on appeal of not sending their children to school were questioned closely by Judge Helms at f harlotte and said they objected to several things being taught in the public schools, including fairy stories and that soil is formed by erosion. All said they had attended school in their own youth and their religion had not been hurt thereby. The judge quoted to them the command of Jesus to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's.

For mors than a hundred jeart. *wfore tha days of railroads ,t was tn* mam thoroughfare for travel between Charleston and Char1oue and a.i of that section of North . Carolina. It ia still one of the moat 'direct ani important travel routes of the state, only needs to be put in good condition to become < r?e of the ma n traveled roads. Owing to the fact that extensive gravel beds are found adjacent to the road all the way from WedgefieWi to Boykin'r Mill the coat of coustructing a first I class gravel-surfaced highway would be ieaa than anywhere else in this section of the state.?Sumter Item. I ^ ^ - | Moat automobilisU don't need to be I told that it's a dangerous thing to pick up atrangers along the highways, for while there's such a thing as entertaining angels unawares there's also such a thing as picking up a crook I who will kill you, rob you, and rido off in your car, as has happened right here in South -Carolina. The Spartanburg Journal contributes thia warn| ing on this very timely topic: "This | thing of picking up strangers whih;i you are out rrotorir.^ is a risky business. Of course the college lad 'and h.gh school boy manage to cover I much mileage by hailing the passing cars, and when the man at the wheel is absolutely certain tnat the pedestrian fits into either class, he can take u chance, but when it comes to adults that is a different matter. A recent issue of the Asheville Times tells of the experience of a Greenville traveling salesman, who handles kodaks, who picked up two strangers a few miles out of Knoxville, whih motoring to Asheville. He was assaulted and robbed of $160 in cash jnnd 18 cameras valued at more than ' $300, and the shoes he was wearing ; were taken off, and the wornout | shoes of one of the strangers left in the car. The salesman was badly injured and left helpless in the car over n.ght. Next morning passerbys discovered him lying in the machine and carried him to an Asheville hospital, where he is being treated."?Chester Reporter. | Sir Leslie Scott, English barrister, will receive a fee of $350,000 for his legal guidance of Indian rulers for a period of two months, says a Delhi dispatch, W. L. Moseley, prominent Orangeburg merchant, died suddenly Tuesday afternoon while playing golf with friends at the country club near the city. A1 1 Orangeburg houses were closed yesterday afternoon during the funeral. Ed Whitmire, former president of the defunct Textile Bank at Greenville, and Rev. John N. Wrenn, a dii rector, were sentenced to two and four months respectively Friday, for violation of the banking laws. Wrenn was accused of borrowing more than 10 per cent of the bank's capital stock while a director and Whitmire was charged with loaning it to him. Whitmire pleaded guilty. Wrenn pleaded not guilty. A? ways Welcome One fellow who is always welcome at the front door in this and every other community is the free delivery mail carrier. Nobody motions from the window for him to stay away. Nobody ever stops him at the front steps and says, "We don't want any mail today." In fact, everybody is happy to see him coming up the walk, or stopping at the mail box. He is a tried and true bearer of tidings and the offering he holds in his hand is always pleasantly received. His job is not the most pleasant one in the world by any means, since it takes him out into all kinds of weather. But like a real soldier, he is always to be found at his post of duty, uncomplaining and unmindful of the drab side of his life. We sometime wonder If he geta all the smiles and hearty well-wishea to which ho is entitled; we wonder if all of his patrons are careful to show their appreciation of his faithful services. Have you ever done any wondering [ along that line, or are you one of those who take him as a matter of course and withold the smiles to which he ia raalljr entitled and which would help him along in his work??

Because of reckless driving and demolishing a hydrant, Will Sanders, Gaston county negro, paid over $159 into the Yorkville treasury Monday. He also put up a $50 cash bond on account of charges preferred against him by rural police for reckless driving on the public highway. Brice Quinn, the 21-year-old son of 'J. N. Quinn, prominent Blacksburg merchant, was unhurt when his automobile plunged down a 76-foot embankment on the road between Cherokee Kails and Blacksburg at a curve where he was trying to pass another car. The man in the other car looked at the rolling automobile of young Quinn and then hurried to a house to telephone for a surgeon and ambulance, but when he returned to the scene of the wreck, the young man was standing in the road only a little dazed.

To the People of Camden: Words fail me to express my heartfelt thanks to the citizens who so kindly came to my assistance in tim? of need. And especially do I want to thank the many Northern citizen3 who 90 generously helped me.

A Beautiful Line of Easter Novelties Easter Cards and Easter Candies Phone 10 ZEMP & DePASS Prescription Druggists ' AUHJCHIX ESS (From The HandersonvilW Time* News) Tramps and loafers and the slovenly slouch along the highways and byways of life because they lack that self-respect which braces a man's shoulders and inspire* others to say of him **he no slouch." It is undoubtedly that the slouch habit is often a mental attitude. It is a habit of mind as well as of body, and reflects slack thinking and alack muscles from self coddling indulgence and a bent and twisted philosophy of jife. f- On the other haud, the swagger of the bully, the strut of the conceited and vain, indicate the need for more backbone and less cheat. There is time enough at the dawn and dusk of life for the slouching end sagging. The new-born babe is unable to hold itaeif erect; its head topples over, its back ia rounded with the weakness natural to infancy. Old age, worn and near the end of the journey, is bent and bowed with the burdens of s long life with the weariness of years. Criminals invariably slouch amidst the shadows and one wonders whether it is the life of crime that the slouch or if the slouch habit makes the criminal. That there is some connection between the two there can be no doubt. Those who resent the Darwinian insinuation that they have a common ancestry with the jipe should divert suspicion by assuming , the erect posture foreign to the ape family. * ? Sam Crafton, 30 years old, was arrested at Mt. Holly for criminal assault on his own daughter, nine years old, when the child told her mother who told officers arriving to arrest the man for bootlegging. He denies the charge, saying he took the child with him on a hunt for hootch, left her on a railroad grade awhile and then brought her home. Public feeling in Mt. Holly became so strong that Crafton was taken to the Gastonia jail for safe keeping. The child is attended by a physician. PoJice say Crafton was once indicted in Florida for a similar attack on the same daughter. final discharge Notice is hereby given that one , month from this date, on Monday, April 30th 1028, I will make to the probate Court of Kershaw County my final return as administrator de bonis non cum testa men to annexo of the estate of E.
