Price pet annum $2.00, payable in advvncr. Camden, 8. C., Friday, March 8, 1928 How South Carolina Saves it la estimated that the total as* sets o( Building end I/oan Associations in South Carolina now excead thirty million dollars. Within recent years they have been responsible for the saving of more than a hundred million, dollars. Of this amount, of course the greater portion was saved for the purpose of erecting or purchasing a home. In its erection the funds saved were spent for South Carina materials and labor, and the homes thus built added much to the taxable value of the property of the state. In addition to the acquiring of a home, however, the savings of Building and Loan Associations were amassed for various other purposes. Millions of funds thus saved were invested in doctor's bills, hospital expenses, education, trousseaux, hope * chests, wedding rings, hdneymoons, automobiles, retirement. of accumulated debts, and for various and sundry major necessities of life. The basic principle <>f Building and l*oan is thrift. These Associations teach our boys and girls to become bette-* citizens and to learn early, and persistently continue to practice thrift in every walk of life. Building and Loan Associations iri South Carolina fortunately are home raised, home financed, home managed, and are great mutual community builders; profiting only the share holders, the communities and the state at large;-with no remuneration for professional developers. ?? Haley Fiske Dead New York, March 3.?Haley Fiske, president of. the Metropolitan Life Insurance company and a* director in many financial and industrial enterprises, died suddenly today, the victim of a heart attack. He was 77 years old. Mr. Fiske, world famous apostle of longevity, collapsed as he was about to alignt from his automobile in front of his home here. His chauffeur noticed Mr. Fiske's face appeared blackened and a moment later, the insurance man fell back to the cushions and was dead before medical aid could be summoned.

J. H. CSLYBURN, Clerk of Court of Common Pleas- <k I Kershaw County. Dated; March o. 1929., ~. . .. -''Tlir \. Prisoner54 Years Pleads Por Pardon Boston, Feb. 36. Je^| Ptoiueroy. for 64 years a prisoner behind the walls of CharUatown state prison, thinks he has found a loophole In the verdict and sentence which kept him in solitary confinement 40 year*. Since the days in the now misty past when Governor ttice commuted the death sentence which had been imposed upon him at the aye pf 1$ for the slaying of Horace Millan, Ppmeroy has appealed to every governor of the commonwealth for a pardon, but now he will take his pica to the courts. Through J. L. Farquhar, his attorney, he plans to ask the supreme court of the state to conaider his contention that although the jury found as a fact that there had been no premeditated malace in the killing, it nevertheless found him guilty in the first degree when, according to Pomeroy, he was-only guilty/if at all, in the second degree. Furthermore the aged lifer will assert that the verdict was never recorded. As a third ground, he plana to contend that when Governor Rice commuted the sentence of hanging that he did so to "solitary imprisonment at hard^ labor for life." Pomeroy says that the statutes provided for no such punishment. Pomeroy probably has served one of the longest sentences in history and it is believed here that hip 10 years in solitary confinement are without parallel in the records of criminal jurisprudence.

Acalft cot tod, first discovered in southern Mexico in 1906 by this government, is a superior upland type, /mys the U. 8. Department of Agriculture.
