The Camden Hoed Although financial arrangements wrre made many month* ago for the paring of the Sumter -Camden highway from the Surnter county lino^ to the town of Cumden, there still re-1 mains ? stretch of several miles of dirt road. These few miles remain unpavi-d because of a quarrel between certain Kershaw county citizens over; the route this section of the highway i should follow. The matter is tied up in the courts at the present time and will probably continue in this same, condition fbr some months, unless, so me drastic action is taken. This highway is not a purely local affair, being a very important lour-j ist route, and also the connecting link between Charlotte and other. North Carolina cities and the eastern and lower sections of South Carolina. This road is made even more important due to the fact that the regular Sumter-Columbia highway u liable to be closed to traffic by high water in the Wateree river awamp at any time. The raising of the causeway through the swamp will no doubt not be completed for a year or mor'i,1 a* it is a tremendous undertaking,' involving a large sum of money. The unpaved stretcn on the Camden-Kurn ter highway could be hard-surfaced within a period of a few months, thus^ affording a good alternative route to the up country during the periods of high water. u q Contending citizens of Kershaw, county, in the interest of the public' welfare, should get together, settle; their differences and allow the paving on the Sumter-Camden highway to bo finished.?Sumter Item. We fully agree with our Sumter neighbors. This unfortunate tie-up: of progress is as much regretted by! Camden and Kershaw county citizens' as well as those in other parts of the' state who have to travel this important highway. It is a matter, so' ' W* are told, to be settled between thaj state highway department and certain private interests. The members of the Kershaw County Board of i Directors and the legislative delegation of this county are fully agreed upon the route, but it remains for thej highway department and the property owners who carried the matter to the courts to get in accord' before the' traveling public can be accomodatedto the best advantage over this much tr^eled highway. ?WE SALUTE YOU! Symbolizing a new high standard of efficiency in the Camden police department is the monthly report for March now on file over the signature of Chief H. D. Hilton in the office of Mayor C. P. DuBose. j Fifty-four defendants paid fines agg-agafing $453.00, according to | the r?-po-t of Chief Hilton, with the average !ir. - barely exceeding eight dollars ar.d .r. r.o single case exceeding fifteen do!.a--. Fighty-eight days were imposed against thirteen defendants to run . the *. ,tal to sixtyseven violations. Charges of speeding predominate among reported violators with seventeen listed under this count. Drunkenness, with fourteen, takes second position and other charges include: (j&mbling, 10; disorderly conduct, 8; violation of traffic ordinance, 8; fighting, 3; and driving car with cutout, violation of prohibition law, driving taxi without license, larceny, and intent to defraud, one each. The record offers an 'interesting] study to every interested citizen. It is highly reflective of the law's most serene dignity and shows that order and impartiality have been given preference over what many municipalise experience in spasmodic raiding seasons with subsequent excessive fir.es and heavy sentences. Three uf the nine justices of the (iklanoma supreme court, including the chief ju-1ice, are now facing im-1 pea; hme I pi -ding-.

Those arc questions that practical politicians are asking each other, not that thoy lose sighb of the dignity of the office which Senator B lease holds, but because they think in terms of Blease, the politician. Gossip in capitol circles is that the highest crime of the last session of the legislature was when it failed to give Senator Blease the privilege of the floor. That privilege was given many lesser lights than Senator Blease. former members of either house, distinguished visitors from other states, and many persons ol even remote importance. Blease will not forget the discourtesy and he wil not fo?g?v*- ?hose responsible for it' that is?if Blease will continue tc exert any appreciable influence ir naming future office holders.

Gallogly, in entering hu plea flrftj said he did k> W save the life of his classmate although he was convinced no jury would have convicted him.. Harsh then waa allowed to plead guiltf iii another court after the formality of. granting him a new trial had dispensed with. . I The Milwaukee youth acknowf-j edged Gallogly's action with a statement describing it a* "magnanimous, and declaring that Gallogly was not guilty of the crimes. Both judges commended the action of the solicitor general. Harsh and Gallogly had beon tried only for the murder of Willari Smith, a young drug clerk, who was shot down by Harsh when he attempted to resist a robbery of his store. They faced another indictment, however, charging them with the murder of S. H. Meeks, grocery stor*- employe who ww slain in a similar attempt, and both these case-i were disposed of in today's proceedings. ? Harsh, who confessed the crimes after he had been traced through i wound inflicted by Smith and who im-| plicated Gallogly aa the driver of the car in which he went to and from the sc^ne of the holdup, pleaded ( mental irresponsibility at his trial. Alienists were introduced who testified he was a constitutional psychopath and unable to distinguish between right and wrong. Gallogly admitted accompanying Harsh to and from the attempted robbery but denied he participated and said he sought to diseuade hisj companion when he announced his( intention of holding up Smith's drug store. A mistrial was declared for| the second time in his case a little more than a week ago when the jury fulled to agree on a verdict. A statement from the prosecutor |?) Judge E. D. Thomas in Gallogly's! case said' that under the circmm-j stances a life sentence on either in-1 dictment was all that the state could hope to obtain from another trial and that by accepting the consent verdicts "we can avoid another long and tedious trial, aB well as the possibility of another mistrial." Mr. Boykin declared in each state-, ment that the families of both victims had approved such a disposition of the cases. Mrs. Olive Adams is in jail at Hartford, <'onn., charged with the. murder of her husband, which she confesses to have done, by keeping a chloroformed soaked handkerchief wet with the fluid, after he had spread it over his face to induce sleej^ She slew her husband, says the confession after he had brought a, rival into their home.

Troopo Called Out At Gaotonia Mills Charlotte, N. C-, April 3.?Lebor unrest in the textile centers of the Piedmont section of the Carolina* today reached the moat serious stage of the movement that ha* been steadily gaining headway for the last three week*. Troop* were called out when violence was threatened at Gastonia. the Largest textile center in the South, I where several hundred operatives went on strike yesterday, five companies of National Guardsmen had be?*n ordered out to guard the huge Lorsy mill of the Manvilj^-Jem kc* company. V At Greenville employes of the Brandon mill, a unit of the Brandon corporation, rejected concessions made by the company. The Monarch mill and Ottary mills at Union, S. C., were idle, the op-' entires having remained away from work today. The situation at the Union-JSuffalo milts at Union was unchanged follow-! ing a conference between strikers and mill executives. The executives refused to yield the strikers demands that the new efficiency system be abolished. There was no change at the Poinsette, Brandon Duck Mills and the Woodruff mill, the latter at Spartanburg, ail units of the Brandon corporation chain. Jj\ all approximately 5,000 mill w.rkeri were idle today aa a result of strikes. In every instance the in reduction of so-called efficiency systems was blamed to a large extent a'id in only one instance was a tin.on involved. At all of the South Caro: ra plants it was said that there was r . union organization, although it, i- known that organizers of the textile unions have been working in the section. At Gastonia, where several hundred operatives of the Loray mills ( of the Manville-Jenckes chain struck yesterday, a local union of the national textile workers union was organized prior to the strike and Fred Erwin Beal, a union organizer, is diqfcfing the strike. At thU mill like the others, one of the demands of the workers is based on an efficiency system installed in the plant. The troops were called into action at the Loray mill this afternoon after a crowd of several thousand men and women, many of them strikers and wearing the yellow arm bands of pickets, seized ropes police and deputy sheriffs were attempting to stretch across streets around the hugeplant. The plant occupies a space the equivalent of about four city blocks. The officers were shoved about and the ropes taken from them. Fearing that resistance would precipitate a serious riot the officers, less than 50 in number, surrendered the ropes and Sheriff Lineberger appealed to Gov. O. Max Gardner to send troops. The governor first ordered out two companies of Guardsmen and later three more. Thus far there has been no violence reported in the South Carolina strikes. At the Brandon mill at Greenville, however, workers were reported resolved to prevent shipment of four carloads of cloth and had posted guards to prevent the cars being taken from the plant. To Feed Deer Columbia, March 28.?Chief Game Warden A. A. Richardson today authorized the game wardens of Jasper county to purchase hay for feeding the deer of their county. . Chief Richardson stated that the deer were routed from the Savannah river swamps by the recent high waters and are now on the verge of starvation due to being exiled from their regular haunts. Limehouse Gets Commission St. George, March 23?Former Sheriff D. B. Limehouse, of Dorchester county, was here yesterday being congratulated by his friends in and around this place. He has just been commissioned by Governor John G. Richards as constable, with statewide powers. However, it is understood that ho will operate chiefly in i Charleston and Dorchester counties.
