FOCH UK A I) TJu? whole world sorrow# at the deuui of Marshal Ferdinand Focn which occurred in Paris Wednesday after a lingering illness. The old warrior had reached hi# 77th year, TOT death comek eleven"year? fitter he headed the greatest army the world has ever known, Eleven years ago German troops were moving up in dense masses to strike the most terrific blow of the war just at dawn March 21 on a ftOmjle front against British troops. The roar of the preparatory bombardment rattled doors and windows in Dover, far- across the east coast of England. < The final struggle; for mastery was at hand; the hour for the coming cf the greutest soldier of the war, Ferdinand Foeh, marshal of France, had struck. Nine days later Foch was generalissimo of all the Allied and American forces on the Western front. First word of this final act to weld into a single force the armies battling back the German onsurge came in a cryptic message of congratulation to Foch, sent by President Wilson March 2i), 11)18. ' PROTECT THE Biitl>$ A good Camden lady this week requested that we call the attention of parents in regard to the small boys with their sling-shots and rifles JuJling the birds in this city. Not cfWly the birds but the nimble little squirrels that inhabit our parks and yards have been known to fall victims to the aim of these mischievous boys. The report also comes that these boys and sometimes girls are making raids on flower gardens and shrubbery._ While many people are providing bird baths and drinking troughs for their feathered friends the slaughter goes on. In many Instances the kitling of these birds is done in a spirit of mischief, and it is believed if parents would warn their children that there is a city ordinance against sling shots this would put a stop to it. Bird baths or troughs kept filled with fresh water through all the warm summer weeks will attract an amazing variety of lovely feathered visitors. Sometimes they drink and flit away. Others they linger to splash and preen in the tiny pool, and always they present a changing and fascinating picture to the interested humans who provided the pool. Warden John W. Snook, of the Atlanta Federal penitentiary, announced Monday that he had tendered hi> resignation to Attorney General Mitchell, effective April 1. Washing'V. dispatches Saturday night said that the Department of Justice, had disclosed \esterday that the Warden had been giwn days in which to resign and that t he period expired April I. Governor Richards said Friday in a , message to the General Assembly: "I have received a letter from Mr. Ruckstuhl, the sculptor, who was employed by the Hampton statue committee to build a statue of Gen. Wade Hampton and as he expects to be in a position to unveil this statue in the Hall of Fame at Washington, 1). about, the 20th day of April of tlys year, I am submitting this information so that if, in your judgment, you think it wise to do so, that you may appoint committees from the Senate and House to attend the unveiling ceremonies to be held on the occasion of the unveiling of this .statue."

Carolina in the la#t few month# that > there ha# been a tendency to ignore ' development# in her more aristocrats | sister. In the political world South > Carolina has advanced not at all; there seems no shaking of her from the clutches of the Democratic party. True enough in the last election Mr, Hoover more than doubled Mr. Coolidge's vote of 1^4, but even that astonishing increase yielded a total of only 3114 votes. In the economic held South Carolina has quite another story?one that is now being written in a $75,000,000 bond issue for good roads. The bill is merely before the Palmetto state Legislature but the newspapers there ure of the opinion that the ortly tight is over the amount to be Issued. Likewise, South Carolina has gone ahead in industrializing her entire western section. While the broad plains of eastern South Carolina are only relics of the once rich and famous plantations and Charleston is only a sleepy seaport known for its beautiful magnolia gardens and its social and genealogical trees, Piedmont, S, C., is zooming with waterpower apd ^textile developments Lacking the mammoth tobacco and furniture plants of her sister state, she is working out her salvation in the manufacture of cottou goods. Today she stands second in the nation in the number of mills, active spindles, active spindle hours, active looms and number of cotton bales consumed. The total value of her textile products in 1927 was more than $230,000,000, which was exceeded only by that of North Carolina. North Carolina's lead in all these phases is attributable in part to a greater area and a population exceeding that of South Carolina by more than a million. Some of the North Carolina newspapers have suggested that While their state Is now going into a period of consolidation after her gr?ftt expansion, South Carolina is merely starting toward her natural development. Cerbainly she is moving rnpidly.?Boston Herald. George Hungerpiller, a farmer near Elloree, has furnished, and is sttti furnishing, a bountiful quantity of iodine to the people of Sumter, Orangeburg and Eloree, in the form of turnips. He planted two acres of turnips during the latter part of September, and from this field he has marketed over 20,000 bunches, or more than 140,000 turnips, for which he has received in cash more than $1,000.

A Variation in Lynching The lynching of Buster Allen, IS- ; year old negro, in Hernando county,] Florida, was marked by one characteristic seldom found in mob murder. Alien, who was charged with an attack on a white girl, was sent to Tampa for safekeeping because Sheriff Cobb of Hernando county : heard that a mob was after him. Tampa is all the way across two counties hut at that it not so far as North Carolina sheriffs frequently send their prisoners for safety. It seemed , to be a measure which assured protection. But when a man went to the jail in Tampa, presented an order for Allen, signed in Sheriff Cobb's name and on Sheriff Cobb' official stationery, the jailer assumed that the order was correct and turned the prisoner o\ei. Shortly thereafter] his body, fired into many times, was 1 found hanging ' > a tree.

Lady Sears won a close decision in the heavyweight class. The performance of all ribbon winners was clean and perfect, final decision going on conformation. Wayside stable's . Phillipy received the second place, and H. D. JCirkover s Castle liar, third, Hunter pairs over the same course made a spectacular showing. Two other features were the riding of Mr. and Mrs. ?amuel Russell, in the saddle pair class on Mr. Russell's Koskito and Starlight, and emphasizing Camden's interest in polo was a well filled polo class. R. S. Allison's Kildair won the blue, with it. Little's Nugget second, and Wayside stable's Snapper third. Claiming principal interest on the show's 'first day was the hunter and jumper classes, especially a class for lightweight hunters over a stiff course outside the ring, which was won by Carroll Bassett on Mrs. Dwight'* Partridge's Barney Ogden. Ebenezer, ridden by Watson Pomeroy, took the red ribbon for the Wayside stables and Lady Donovan, with Miss Clark up, entered by L. H. Bramlett, received third place.
