What Folks Think of
Junior League Revue
A1J you need to do to nee -what
Columbia thinks of the Co-Ed-Follies
is to pick up any copy of the "Colum-j
bia State for the last week. These
attractive young ladies smile at you'
from every page. They are inj
prominence just now sb an important
part of the much talked of Juniorl
League Revue which takes place in
the Columbia Theatre this week.1
Camden indeed has a treat in store
for April the 17th judging by the
write ups which have appeared in
papers following a performance of
these amazing amateurs. I say]
amazing for while the girls arej
amateurs one could most certainly,
not call their performance amateurish.'
In fact, Ben Ressler, theatrical critic'
for one of the Spartanburg papers,'
| said, of them after their performance
in that city?-The University of S.:
C. Co-Ed Follies has it all over many,
of the professional turns of its typo,
which play through dut the country.'
Whoever trained that chorus suro
knew their business. "And from the
Columbia State?"The program is so
complete and so excellently presented
that it is hard to pick out any one of-'
| fering and declare it to be the best'
of all but each of the various chorus
dances, with their intricate move-!
| ments, is presented in such a man-!
ner that it would be hard to improve
upon them. The brilliant costumes,
(a now one tn each dance, surpass* in
beauty uny costumes ever seen here
[ in an amateur production. They were
| designed from the latest theatrical
models and are all that could be desired^1?
? - 1
Then hear this from Winston-Salem
?"Often an act that has its origin
on a college campus is amateurish
and most of the time extremely rotten.
But such is not true of The
Co-Ed Follies, a troupe composed of
girl.s from the University of South
Carolina who are playing at the
Auditorium Theater thid week. These
little lassies certainly know their way
about, especially when it comes to
hoofing. The whole act is good. In
fact a good deal above the average
Keith act.",

Rural Officers Busy;
Get Lots of Booze
A spectacular pouring of seven
hundred and fourty-four gallons of
white' liquor was witnessed by hundreds
of persons here Saturday night
when the streets were crowded with
Week-end shoppers at the corner of
Broad and Kutledge. The liquor was
taken in a raid by officers in the
northern part of Kershaw county latei
Saturday night near the Lockhart'
road. It was captured by Rural Of-'
fleers J. L. Hough and S. P. Watkins,
working under the direction \jSti
Sheriff J. H. McLeod, about
miles southeast of Kershaw.
As a result of the raid, Jake H*Ue,
on whose rented premises the whiskey
was found in a barn wus placed under
arrest. llaile is quoted by officers
as having said: "Some white folks
were interested in this deal" but refused
to give., names. Iluilc wus released
from jail on bond Monday
morning. .
It is supposed that this liquor was
stored where it was found, for distribution,
as the result of an overflow
of the product from stills
operated elsewhere. It is beJjeved
that the liquor was not manufactured
in Kershaw county. Highway
trucks were commandered to bring
the booze to Camden. , ?
This was the third big liquor haul
made by officers in Kershaw county
during the last three days.
Six men, three automobjJ^?T
L50 gallons of white whiskey cftmo
into the law's possession here Thursday
night when city and county of-,
fleers cooperated to claim the A tin*
usually liberal reward. . V ./A/1
Two men, a Buick touring caf, tthd
two and one-half gallons were'
captured near the Antioch high school*
early in the evening, and a Hudson!
sedan, loaded to capacity with ninetyeight
and one-half gallons, was taken
shortly after midnight on the Go-'
lumbia highway. , ; I
The secOnd car was equipped witV
a smoke, screen apparatus, which'
when tested by officers Friday morn-i
ing, laid an impenetrable blanket of
smoke in its wake.
.-l&King the early mo'rniflg hours1
the third car, a Chevrolet sedan, and
two men wore claimed by the officers.'
Aboard this car was found contra-'
band measuring forty-eight gallons.'

Motorists Must Stop
At Stop Lights in City

intersections where stop-signals have
been placed will be-strietly enforced.

Acts of Vandalism
nu ' f1, G' Sr. telis a
Chronicle man that the warning he
issued in last week's paper in regard
to trespassing on his farm lands just
below \Camden has done no good.
w! J! I ^8t week trespassers
have broken three more locks on his
Kates protecting his property, and
committed other depredations. No one
rarely ever ?ares about real sportsmen
trespassing on property but to
cause injury to the property makes it
Hard on those who would act the part
of a sportsmen. i
Reports also come from the homeowners
and the lover* of flowered
evergreens that many depredation*'
have heen committed at night by
thieves robbing premises. Newspaper
accounts from nearby towns carry accounts
of the same kind of vandalism
and thefts.
