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.

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.

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.

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.
