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

importance of the junior aerator'
front South Carolina fallen to so l..w
a love, that the senator would not be
heard by the members of the General
Assembly? 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

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.

jury today :n all prohibition cases
presented by state constables. Among
them were the case against Deputy
Sheriff Clarence Woodward of Berkeley.
Tv. grand jury's action in the
Wo., .-.ward case fails to back up Govern
r Richards, who had sought to

t.f.ion of whiskey.
