Karly arrivals interested themselves by viewing the big project where a great deal of the electric power of this section is made. The river being high at the time, the great spillway presented a pretty sight with the water tumbling over it to a depth of two or more feet. 'Mr, ami Mrs. A. K. Miller had prepared a most delightful feast of fried fish, coffee and other accessories, and it was served in abundance. The long table was set on a rarpet of green grass in a pine clad slope and after the meal the spoukers all payed a glowing t i ibute to Mr. and Mrs. Miller's hospitality. Noble John 11. Goodalc took charge of the introduction features and turned the remainder of the program over to Noble Stan Llewellyn, who is always full of fun und wit. He called on T. V. Walsh, Jr., to tell of the woman's building proposed for the state tubercular "sanitarium at Columbia. Mr. Walsh guve way to Mr. 11. Yates, who gave some interesting details of the plan. Dr. John W. Corbott told in a most interesting manner of the light on the great white plague, which he stated, with proper treatment, could be cured. He cited the nationally known Trudeau sanitarium at Suranac Luke, in the Adirondacks of New York state. This great doctor, said the speaker, had broken down in health, and in his quest for a eyre, had gone into the wilds of the Adirondacks, where he shot his own gume, slept in the open, suffered hardships and wus finally cured. Going back to practice he again broke down, and returned to establish Trudeau sanitarium, which to this time, has become famous the world over, for the cure of the grant white plague. The Masons of South Carolina have Bet their goal at $50,000 to erect thiB woipan'B building in Columbia, but they eventually want to raise the sum of $100,000. Dr. Corbett stressed the fact that this movement was not entirely" for MasonB alone, but a state wide drive would be made to in, terest everyone in this movement. Rev. A. D. McArn was ah invited guest and was called on for a talk and in a very happy manner stated that "this is the best dam party I have ever attended." Another speaker who 'delighted the gathering was Mr. L. T. Mills, who spoke on the pleasure it afforded all of the Shriners to see so many ladies present for the occasion. City Gets Ref und On Paving Projects The state highway department has mailed a reimbursement agreement to chairman H. G. Oarrisoij, Jr., of the Kershaw County Board of Directors, who in turn will transfer same to the City of Camden whereby the city will receive $14,^45,54. This sum is returned to the city by an act of. congress which provides that where the houses on any given mile are two hundred feet or more apart, in cities and towns over twenty-five hundred inhabitants. It represents money spent by the city on paving a section of Route 26 on Broad street from the southern city limits to King street, a distance of 1,931 feet paved to a width of 18 feet. Also a section of Route I . .on DetKalb street, from the eastern city limits to Rlpponden avenue, a distance of 1,450 feet, paved to width of 18 feet. , The money is to be in ten equal annual installments?the first payment to be made December 81/ 1929 and the last one on December ?1, 1938?each payment amounting to $1,454.55. -rj Fata To Play Leans An interesting game of base ball is promised the fans of Camden on Thursday, June 13, when the fats meet the leans on the diamond here.

C. Gillie, local Woco-Pep distributor, uttractml thousands of interested spectators to Woodward Field and furnished sightseeing trips through the uir to many hundreds more who assembled here from every nearby town. Stunt flying within sight of Camden was a feature of Saturday afternoon and preceded the parachute jump made, at the fleld by Bonnie Howe from the Kaglerock plane piloted by Eddie Martin of Anderson. Other acrobatic fliers were Bill Dorsett and Slim Culpepper, both piloting Travelairs from the Augusta airport. ) .. .. Bonnie Howe again Sunday afternoon made a spectacular jump and gave the crowd extra thrills when he continued to collapse his parachute in a successful attempt to land clear of the timber ufter buttling adverse wind currents. Miss Cody's personal appearance in u wing-walking and sign-painting act on the wing of Eddie Martin's ship while in full (light was" a, decided feature of Sunday afternoon and presented the trade-marked name of Woco-Pep in its most unique form. The six-place Ryan Monoplane, companion ship to Lindbergh's famous Spirit of St. Louis, was piloted by George W- Keightley of Greenville and carried Sunday afternoon more than thirty passengerloads over Camden and the adjoining Jfi countryside. Keightley's beautiful take-pits and perfect landings, which appeared with clockwork precision, materially advanced Camden's airmindedness and converted numbers whose previous declarations wero that they would never turn to flying. To many among the enthusiastic throngs it meunt added interest with their first visit to Camden's now air- -fj; port which, according to Miss Cody and every one of her pilots questioned, is favorable above comparison with any similar development in America today. - .''ffig Mountain Man Passes At Age of One Hundred - .... .
