THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE 8, D, NILK8, ,IMINr a?4 J Published overy Friday at No. 1109 Broad Street and entered at the Camden, South Carolini postoffice aa second class mail matter. Price per anuom $2.00, payable in adv.tnce.^ Camden, S. C., Friday, June 14, 1929, Many eitixens of Gas ton Va and elee-' where see the hand of red Russia in the terrible affair that happened in that town Friduy night ( when the chief of police was killed and several other officers badly wounded when they were taken unawares and fired upon from ambush. There has been a wholesale round-up of alleged auapycte and the ring-leaders have been ' shuffled from dnj^jail to another in North "Carolina in an effort to avoid mob violence. Fred Ervin Seal, the man sent down there from New Jersey, is now in jail in Monroe. He left immediately after the shooting and was arrested in Spurtanburg where he claims-he had gone "to spend the week-end." Others of the alleged leaders have been placed in the Asheville jail. The Greenville News says: "The incident should be a lesson ? to the Textile South where industrial troubles have been rather frequent of late. When outsiders come in the door, peace is pretty apt to fly out the window. Southern mill workers are possessed of plenty of commonsense. They have demonstrated in their strikes in South Carolina that they are capable of settling their own differences with employers without the intervention of professional trouble-makers. They should contiue their policy of keeping their own affairs in their own hands. When they pause to listen to so-called reformers and upiifters they arc j>erilously subject to being duped into tragediee of the kind enacted in Gastonia." . Sunday, June 1<3, will be observed throughout the land as Father's Day. it will be one day in the year that he will lx* made to feel by word 1 and deed that he is something more than a meal ticket or shock absorber. He labors year in and year out lor the wife and kids and most daddy's i are entitled to whatever little appre-1 eiation can be shown him on that, day. We hope all Dads will enjoy the day. Cook's Mountain A lady, came to Columbia within the last few weeks, recently boasted that she had been to the top of Cook's Mountain as frequently us an old citizen who had lived here all his life. They went together a few days ago. How many Columbians have evar been to that high point, 500 feet above the Wateree River whose four or five bends may be seen from this vantage point.? Yet Cook's Mountain is within forty minutes ride from Columbia. Down the Garner's Ferry Road, through Goodwill and then up a well graded but not yet well finished road to the top. From here four counties may be seen, Richland, Sumter, Kershaw and Calhoun. How many deer, how many ; wild turkeys, how many foxes and lesser game climbed up and down these heights? It is an ideal spot for a club house j as it is in the midst of about 10,000 i acres of land, which is now well j stoc&d with the game mentioned and with quail. It is not at all unlikely that it will proyr attractive to wealthy sportsmen who are seeking such retreats.? Columbia Record. Southern Lumberman?It is suggested that science may give us a new religion. Rut most of the religions we already possess have been used so little they are as good as new. Kagle Scout Duncan McRae Lang Camden's newest eagle scout is Duncan McRae Lang, a member of Troop 30, formerly old Troop 2. "Dune" is the kind of a boy the Roy Scouts of. America like to see become an Eagle Scout. A splendid young man of 17 years, graduating this year from high school, valedictorian of his class, and good scout, are some of the qualities of this new Eagle. Duncan is junior assistant scout master of his troop, the same one he joined when it was organized in 1024. Troop 30 ha* had a splendid recoro and "Dune" has helped make it. The court of honor at its regular meeting last week, reviewed his record and awarded him the highest rank that a scout may achieve. "Dune" left Wednesday with other troop members to attend the annual encampment at Murrells Inlet. \V. F. N. Card of Thanks 1'he family of Mr. T. R.

C., 1928, a yield of 26 boa he la per acre of corn was secured with an application of 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate of sod* when the corn waa from aix to seven weeka old or aboutknee high, On the check plot where no nitrate of aoda waa uaed the average yield waa 7 buahela per acre or an increase of 10 buahela per acre in favor of nitrate of aoda side-dressing, la noted by W. H. Preaaiy, the county agent. Fifty-flve-acre corn demonatrationa >vere conducted by the Extension Service of Clemaon College throughout the atate in 1928. The average yield for the fifty demonatrationa waa 27 buahela of corn per acre where 200 pounda of nitrate of aoda was I uaed, and only 13 buahela per acre on I the plot where no nitrate of aoda waa uaed, or an average increaae of 14 buahela per aore. Soil of average I fertility waa aelected for theae ' demonatrationa would indicate that the low average yield of 14 buahela of corn per acre for the atate might be eaaily doubled by. aide-dreaaing with quick acting nitrogen. GASTON IA SITUATION 0 Ah Seen Hy the Gaatonia Gazette Kd'tor Monday Afternoon Gaatonia reata today on the edge of a possible volcano. Her people have kept 4heir heads. 1 here has been no lawlessness on the part of Gaston ians; only on the part of Communist strikers, their sympathizers and a bunch of hired thugs. Hut the town is on a nervous edge. [Many threats have been made. There are still radical Communists loose in the community and there is ample evidence to support the belief that others are on their way here. That the Communist International has picked on Gaatonia as its buttlegiound in the United States is strongly believed by many close observers who have for nearly three months studied the situation and have kept ip direct touch witji it, Saturday mornipg the home of Mrs. R. L. Welch on East Third Avenue was burned. Mrs. Welch furnished sandwiches to the Loray mill work- j ers. She had been repeatedly I thieatened, as had young Eidsou, who ' delivered for her. There is strong evidence to indicate that this fire was the incendiary work of the Communists. Saturday night the home of George Sanderling, a house belonging to the Loray mill, was burned. There is reason to believe it was set afire by Communist thugs. Sanderling came here from Greensboro recently to work in the Loray mill. Many believe the fight has just be- ' gun and that Gastonia must either have martial law and protection by the State or her loyal citizens must be armed by the hundreds and deputized in order to protect our homes, our lives and our property from death and destruction at the hands of the murderous agenjs of the Communist International. American citizens are not going to sit down supinely and see their homes and property and lives destroyed. It looks like the hour has struck when something drastic must be done. Plainclothes men should meet every train, bus and jitney entering the city and see that every person entering can show satisfactory reason for being here. This is a necessity because there is reason to believe that the Communists are sending their agents and gunmen here. A fund should be raised for the family of the dead chief, O. F. Aderholt, who protected the lives of this community for twenty years on a small salary. The Gazette will undertake to raise this fund and is glad to announce that J. Lee Robinson, president of the First National Bank, starts the fund with a contribution of $100. Contributions should be sent in immediately to this paper and will be acknowledged from day to day. There is no secret about the fact | that Beal brought back with him from Elizabethton, Tenn., last Thursday 12 or 15 of the worst characters he could assemble in that town. These men are scattered in all parts of Gastonia. They are dangerous 'characters. Any person having any knowledge regarding th%ir location should notify the police department at once. 1 here is an end to all patience. Gastonia has suffered in silence and has been repeatedly slandered by | some of the state papers that havt I a Communistic leaning. But our ; people know their own situation and ! we do not believe they are going to sit idly hy and see Gastonia made a blood-red battlefield just because the Moscow crowd has said it must be. Louisville Times ? The United States Bureau of Standards attempts to standardize things; but it's too big a coward to tackle the cantaloupe.

Montgomery, Spartanburg capitalist, was killed and James Parker, Columbia high school student, was fatally injured. Defendants named in the action are Harold Vam, driver of the automobile In which Miss Jones rode, and K. H Varn, his father, of Columbia; Andrews Loom* Reed ami Harness com- 1 pany, a Spartanburg concern; Isaac Andrews, of Spartanburg, ami Elwood F. Bell, driver of the other automobile. The two automobiles also are named in the action. . . The complaint Hied by Mis# Jones shows that Varn was driving an automobile owned by his father and thai t>r. Bell was driving a sedan owned by the Andrews Loom, Reed and Harness company, of which Mr. Andrews is president. The basis of the action, Miss Jone* claims, lies in the fact that she was permanently injured by the accident caused by the defendants. The complaint claims that the automohile in which she was riding was traveling at a high rate of speed and that the other car was driven in a "highhanded and reckless manner." 1 ' Philadelphia Inquirer?
