Camden Taken Game
From Mullins Hif/h
Ilartsvilie, Nov. 23.?-Camden experienced
little difficulty in defeat'
Ing MulliriK, v33 to <i, this afternoon
on the local field, thereby earning
the right to play Batesburg-Leesviiie
for the championship of the lower
state in Class H.
, The ( atuden Bulldogs displayed u
wonderful running and passing *ittack,
running up four touchdowns in
the first half while holding Mulling
scoreless. Mullins at the beginning
of the third period inarched down the
field for the only touchdown that has
been scored on the Bulldogs this season.
But In the last period Camden
came back and scored another touchdown
on a 10-yard pas* from Campbell
to Kusscll.
Camden has a backfieid that any
high school team would be proud of.
Campbell, big fullback, throws terror
into his opponents with his passing,
punting and running ability. He can
be classed us a wonderful triple
thieat because he does everything
well.
Haynes, fast and elusive halfback,
who gained lots of ground, made
three touchdowns und intercepted
many Mullins pusses, and can be
classed as one of the stars of the
hectic buttle.
K. VVooten at quarter ran his team
well and gained lots of ground. In
the line for the Bulldogs, Captain
Nettles ut right tackle stood out foremost,
breaking through the visitors'
line at will and tackling fiercely. Jenkins,
at the Bulldogs' center, is the
best high school center that has been
seen on this field this season. He intercepted
a pass and made a beautiful
65-yard run, but- was -caught from
behind by P. Smith. Russell at end
was u shining light, playing a lineup
game in all departments.
hor Mullins, Capt. Oscar Smith and
O'Neal r.were two powerful running
backs and flashed down the field to
produce the only score that has been
scored on the Bulldogs this season.
1 hey played a good defensive game
also, breaking up many Bulldog
plays. Danna and McKenzie played
well in the line.

When Vestris Sinks
The sinking of the Vestris off the
coast of Virginia, in which more than
a hundred lives were sacrificed, has
brought sorrow to many thousands in
America. It hus also brought unusual
sorrow to many in South Carolina,
for two of our missionaries,
with a son, went down on that ship.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Jackson and their
son Carey, took passage upon this
trip on their prospective return to
their work in Brazil.
h roin day to day, after the disaster,
when the lists those saved or
found was published, we looked earnestly
for the names of the Jacksons.
But these names occurred in none o(
the lists published, and it is now
certain that they were among those
who did not survive. During their
furlough in this country they made
their home here in Greenville and became
warm friends to many of our
people.?-Baptist Courisr.
