The letter published below from John W. Wilson, city health officer of Camden, will set at rest the rumors afloat. ( Mr. Wilson's letter follows: " 1 he writer carried the suspected leper of Columbia Sunduy, August 1th, to the Stute Health Department, who had arranged with Dr. Frederick i A. Johanson, leprosy specialist of the United States Marine Hospital Service to be present and make the dia- i gnosis. "After a thorough examination of the suspect; and a complete laboratory test of his blood by Dr. Johanson he stated that it was not leprosy and not infectious. On account of the publicity given the case, and the excitement tt seemed to create, am ' using this means of informing the public of the findings of Dr. Johanson, so as to relieve their minds of any danger t>f leprosy from this particular CHBe." Several New Names Presented To Voters Chief interest in politics in Kershaw County seems to center around the selection of two representatives in the lower house of the general assembly in the coming primary. The Chronicle last week carried the announcement of Mr. D. M. McCaskill, for the house. This week we have the names of Mr. J. R. Belk, of Camden, and Mr. J. N. McLaurin, of Bethune.

Mr. J. M. Clyfourn, of Bethune, is also announced this week as a candidate for township director from Buffalo township. ? r*cel 'or representation in the house promises to be a Hrelv one^ Many thought that Former Judge M. L. Smith would be a candidate, and pressure had /been brought to bear on him from all sections of the county. Judge Smith, however, has told this paper that owing to pressing business it will be impossible for him to make the race. IN THE CAROLINAS D. H. Mahaley, who died at Salisbury, N.

Sensational charges within the unkn of Camden's police department were aired and acted upon by city ouncil irregular session Monday evening when Frank C. Jones, for many years connected with tiie depaitiuent, was discharged for alleged .'oiunvmg in tiu* liquor traffic. Another member of the force was named to lake Jones' place and u new man was elected to serve as motorcycle officer. k Jones is succeeded by Motorcycle Officer A. R, Mayer who in turn la being relieved by J, W. Cole, formerly connected with the department, who was elected at the same meeting to tuke up the duties of Mr. Mayer as motorcycle patrolman. The charges upon which Jones was discharged resulted from several months investigation ?' the department by the police commission, headed by C. C. Whitakor, councilman and mayoF^pro tempore. 'Charges against Jones as embraced in a motion of the official minutes of the couneil meeting read "that Jones be discharged from the police force of the city of Camden for conniving in the liquor traffic, that he be relieved of duty at once and that the chief of police be instructed to get the city's property from the said officer." Members of council, police department officials and the chairman of the city police commission were hesitant to discuss the matter early Tuesday morning but as inquiry piled on top of inquiry and various rumors were apparently stampeding the facts of the case they began talking and this is what investigators said: "We had reason to believe that a liquor deal was scheduled for Friday, August 27, in the grounds of the county fair association," Mr. Whitaker stated Tuesday afternoon, "so in company with Chief of Police H. D. Hilton I went to a place of outlook near the scene. "To be exact we were on the inside of the steel exhibit building at the fair grounds when we observed a man, whose name we are not at liberty to use, walk past the building ana leave nearby a sack of fruit jars filled with liquor. This happened around 12:30 o'clock in the afternoon. "Within a short time Officer Jones drove up in a light touring car and received from this man two quarts of whiskey and . placed it in his car. "The liquor dealer was plainly heard to' Hay* tq the officer that 't'ibhave fifty gallons of liquor coming through here tonight/ and to our astonishment we heard Officer Jones declare: 'that's all right; go ahead, and I'll take care of you.' " No arrepta were made at. the time,, the authorities explained, because it was their intention to neither persecute nor prosecute any man inside of the department or otherwise ahd they had in mind only requesting of council the dismissal of any and every officer whose services and integrity might be found questionable in the light of their, investigations. When questioned Tuesday afternoon by a representative of The Chronicle the former officer declared . that he had no statement to make at that time. Jonas will be given an opportunity to appear before council, it is said, at the next meeting which Will be held Monday evening. White Man Jailed Here For Bigamy * Henry C.
