Price per annum $2.00, payable in advance. m ^ it gr 0- gr ^ Camden, S. C., Friday, May 3. 1?2?. AN APPEAL The road from Camden to the scene of Sunday uftornoon's disaster by tornado in West Wateree haa been uliv? with care going there to view the;^MVvkajfe. Aside from that The Chronicle is this week reproducing scenes of the wreck made by its own photographer, which bears" mute, but unmistakable testimony as to the havoc wrought by the terrifk* wind. .There are nine families left in almost destitute circumstances and these people are in dire need of food, clothing and shelter. The Chronicle is this week starting a fund for the relief of these people and already quite a sum of money has been handed in to Mrs. Margaret Majrfteld and others have signified their intention of giving to the fund. Mr. ('has. W. Carr, of Washington, J). ('., nationul disaster relief representative for South -Carolina for the American Red Cross, arrived in Camden Tuesday afternoon and will personal!) supervise the distribution of the fund, in connection with Mrs. Margaret Mayficld and J. Team (Tett\s of the local Red Cross Chapter. Any contributions can be mailed or handed in at The Chronicle office or either to Mrs. Mayfield or Mr. Getty s and proper recognition will be made. Mr. Carr, of the Red Cross, was sent here from Anderson, where he has been directing relief work in that area. He is well posted on this line of work, having recently had charge of the relief work in the flood stricken areas in Georgia and southern Alabama where whole towns were wiped out. Previous to that he had seen many months in Porto Rico where the West Indian hurricane wrought such havoc. Wherevar disasters occur the Red Cross is first on the scene and it would surpriae the average reader to know that they are now directing relief forces in more than thirty disasters in different sections of the United States. Those who have contributed so far, and they were voluntary-.contributions, being moved to give by a personal visit to the scene of the wreckage, are: Mr.and Mrs. F. M. Rhodes Mr. and Mrs. Sam Russell, Jr. Mr. and Mrs. McKie Graham Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Graham Mr. and Mrs. Chas. M. Taintor with a total of . .$110.00 Mrs. Carroll P. Bassett .... $25.00 Kmily Shannon and Alice Robinson collected between them . . $10.00 Mrs. George R. Cook $75.00 The Camden Chronicle . . $5.00 They Are Passing With the now faint echo of the sounding of taps for Marshal Foch, supreme head of the great Allies' military machine, it is rather startling to look around us and note the thinning of the upper ranks since that famous armistice of only a little more than 10 years ago. Close on the heels of Foch went Gen. Sarrail and Ambassador Herrick, so that Paris wept for three prominent war figures in rapid succession. Already Wilson in the United States had faded from the scene; also Haig and French in Britain, Jacques in Belgium and Diaz in Italy. Heavy casualties! The makers of history remain on the stage a very little period after their act. On the other hand "Father Victory," Clemenceau, the oldest if not the most active of them all, still defies death as he used to defy the enemy. On the other side of the trenches Hindenburg, the grand old figure <>f Germany, not only continues to hve but continues invaluabl? services to his country, though past the fourscore mark. Vet a little while and all the great leaders of the greatest war in history will have joined the silent thousands whom they led to (bath. Ma> it tmevvr be referred to as "the greatest war in history!"?-The Pathfinder. Indian Gets "Carved l p" Karley Brown, a Catawba Indian, who conducts a ferry on the river near Fort Mill, was badly oarved up Sunday about midnight by a white man named James Stames who with a step-son went to Brown's home called him out and attacked him with a knife, inflicting wounds from head to foot. The Kllis ambulance was called early Monday morning and the wounded man,, rushed to the Ward Hospital in Rock Hill where surgeons stated that it required 72 stitches to cloRe up the wounds. Stames disappeared after the attack and it is not .known in I>ancaster on . Monday whether he has been taken into custody or not.-^Lancaster News. 0 1/ranting About a Nowapaprr This ia to bo sort of a personal thing, but journalism on a pap?f size of The News-Topic eould hardly be otherwise anyway. We are about to confess that we have learned something. And that something has to do with the job of geUing out a newspaper. Until we bought The News-Topic six weeks ago we baa spent our working days on daily newspapers, in the news and ials it mi better news features^ Bid not they have all week to get up their 1 material? I>idn't they have tiuie for! deliberation? We rather scolded them. They were not bothered with daily deadlines. No foremen of composing rooms were continuously ' yelling at them to get their copy in or the paper would miss the mails. They had time. Ah, how sweet we imagined it must be to have timetime to write things that would stir the hearts of readers! The picture of the weekly and semi-weekly editors basking in unusual meditation fascinated us so tremendously that?well, here we are! And herein began our education. In these six weeks we have discovered the nnswer to our own menial question. No man can struggle with prospective but reluctant advertisers all day arid then sit down and write a decent editorial or an interesting news story. In the first place, no man can struggle with advertising all day and keep up with the news, which is the very foundation of good editorials. Therefore we offer this defense for the editors of county newspapers. If there be uny daily* fellows who have held the mental attitude that made us cold publishers of weeklies and semi-weeklies, let them correct that false Impression. There is no unused meditation going to waste on these papers. But we enjoy it. And we will enjoy it even more when the business and civic leaders of I/enior decide to untie in an unconquerable effort to push the development of this town to the place where we can publish a daily.?Lenoir News Topic. Good Advice If I were a young man on a fairly decent salary 1 would decide how much I ought to save out of it each week. Then I would put that amount in the bank every Saturday as I drew my pay, and I'd either live on the rest or starve. I'd rather take the chance of starving a little as a young man, than of being dependent Upoif somebody else when I'm too old to work. When I had saved up a few hundred dollars in this way, I would get my banker to find me a real estate loan and I'd see how it felt to have a few dollars coming in regularly that I didn't have to work for. This policy is safer and better for the average young man than going into business for himself, and well followed out, will land him in comfortable circumstances by middle life. Whereas, spending every cent he makes as he can easily do no matter I how much it is, means a hard financialstruggle all the way through. ?Walterboro Press and Standard.

Go To Church Sunday The men of the Presbyterian Church at their recent meeting decided to make this coming Sunday, May 5, a red letter day in our church. The pastor has a message he wishes to present to the entire congregation and the men of the church are going to do all they can to initiate a "Go to Church Sunday" for every member of the church on May 5. , It is hoped ; that on this day every member of the ichu- .h, young and < Id, will sweep ! aw a. all excuses and come to Sunday ' ' 1 and church. Now let's give the ; men our support and make this efi f rt a grand success by having the i largest attendance we have ever had.

U' Out of Put Ago U wm ? fairly busy traffic hour, At every change of the light# six, Jght or leu cafe would be standing ready to go. At .certain crossing the rod light flashed and, not a car, hot quite another sort of outfit came to a halt. Csrs stopped behind it until eight or ten were in line. This outfit was a onedioree wagon, apparently a survival of Sherman's visit some decides ago, drawn by a mule- a brown, woolly, aged mule, the driver was an aged negro, who bad long ceased to hurry about anything. He sat on a board laid crosswise for a seat. Everything about him?his once black wool hat, hi* clothes, his shoes i*nd he himself spoke eloquently of long and endur iug service. It was a gray, chill, drizzling day he mule stood motionless and was without interest in anything. For him this world had become altogether stale, flat, weary and unprofitable place. The driver looked equally listless and heedless of the here and now - On his face dwelt the look of dreaming memories. The light changed. With a slight jerky motion of the right hand, which merely twitched the lines gently he muttered "G"wan." The mule leaned forward, then stepped slowly and the outfit got into motion, making per ha;>s two miles an hour. Hut nobody, behind honked. What wa> the use? A young fellow next bef. nd in a shiny new six slipped around, grinning. Other cars fell in line, passing quickly around.' In ten seends all were ahead and the a; <nt outfit went leisurely on its . unconcernedly, unhurriedly. -LL-^s a picture that' might stir shadow laughter in some or cause u curious resurrection of remembered ! th.i.g.- nearly vanished.?- Spartanburg Herald.
