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.

26 Bushels An Acre
By Cassatt Farmer
? t
On a fivfe-acre corn d?monatration
conducted with J. K. Branuon, Ca?aatt,
S. 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

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.

Columbia Girl Sue*
For Wreck Injuries
Columbia, June 8. for f 100,-1
000 was filed with the clerk of court
here today by Miss Ruth Joips, Columbia
girl, for injur!#* received in
automobile accident in which Walter
?. 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
