New Chain Store Open
In Camden Tomorrow
'Central Wholesale Grocery. Company,
incorporated, is the name of a
new grocery that will be opened immediately
by Columbians, and to
whom a charter was granted by Secretary
of State W. P.' Blackwell. A
branch of this corporation will open
in Camden Saturday in the storeroom
next door to Hirsch Brothers
A Company under the name of the
"Iodine Products Stores." The Cam-,
den store will be under the management
of W. L. Gettys, who ha* had
several years experience in serving
the retail trade of Camden. ~
The new corporation is capitalized
at $60,000.00 divided into 500 shares
of $100 par value each, R. W. Rogers,
formerly owner and operator of
the Rogers Ice Cream Company,
which recently became a unit in the
Foremost Dairies Chain, is president
of the new concern and oth?'r officers
are Roscoe R. Rogers, a son of Mr.
Rogers, vice-president; W. M. Rogers,
also a son of Mr. Rogers, secretary,
and W. E. Jarvis, treasurer. The
officers also compose the board of
directors.
Under its state charter of incorporation
the Central Wholesale Grocery
Company is granted the right to
operate wholesale and retail stores,
the retail stores to be operated under
the name of Iodine Products Stores.
The firm also plans the growing and
marketing of truck and fruits of all
kinds, canning, preserving and pickleing
of all kinds of vegetables and
fruits, the operating and conducting
of wholesale and retail bakeries.
It is "learned the new firm already
have locations for several retail
stores, some of which are now being
remodelled. The retail stores are to
be conducted on the cash and carry
plan. The wholesale end will be operated
primarily for the purpose of
feeding the retail outlets. No estimate
would be made of the maximum
number of retail units that would be
installed, but Mr, Jarvis stated that
their intention was to establish retail
units in every town and hamlet within
a radius of fifty miles of Columbia
as well as many in the city of
Columbia. It has become nationally
lcnown that South Carolina vegetables
and fruits contain a large element of
iodine which is a great preventive.of
goitre. This has caused a great demand
for canned fruits and vegetables
raised in South Carolina
throughout the north and west. It
was with the idea of advertising
South Carolina vegetables and fruits
that the name of Iodine Products
Stores was given the retail outlets
as it is intended to feature in these
stores-South Carolina products. _\
Mr. R. W. Rogers,*the president,
with his two soils;" Roscoe iLTirafl
Jfc. M. Rogers, opened up the Rog***
Ice Cream Company here several

W. E. Jarvis, who is treasurer of
the new concern, has had a wide experience
in the grocery field as well
as in the flour milling field. He was
for several years sales manager of
the Lexington RolleT Mills, Le^ttgr

15,543,000 Bales of
Cotton For 1929
The government crop report of
August 8th shovgs a condition of the
cotton crop as 69.6, with a crop indication"
of 15,543,000. The cotton
trade was expecting about 15,800,000
therefore .the report is considered
slightly bearish. The government,
however, . states they expect heavy
weevil damage, even heavier than last
year. The market reaction from the
report was not especially, wild, .closing
about 60 points, off yesterday's
high.
Some comparative figures for this
and adjacent states this year and last
hi* thousands are: South Carolina,
W0 against 726 last year; . North
Carolina, 767, against 8M hit year;
Georgia, 1182 against 1080 last year; i

Local Lad Begins
Career as Marine
.Philadelphia, Pu., Aug. 10.?An
ambition to follow the, fortunes of 4
the soldiers of the sea has been real- *
izc<l by Sherman G. Newman, of *
Westville, S. C., who recently "signed 1
UP" with the U. S. Marines at Char- I
lotte, N. C., and was sent to Parris *
Island, S. C., for a few weeks of in- 3
tensive training. 1
Following this period of instruction *
he will bo available for duty on a
battleship or cruiser, will be assigned J
lb foreign service, or will be stationed ^
at one of the many posts along the j
Atlantic or Pacific seaboard. The 1
duties of the marines are so varied *
that Newman will probably travel *.
thousands of miles, and have many j
odd and thrilling experiences before \
his four-year period of service is <
completed. *
Kipling named the marines soldiers j
and sailors too because the nature of t
their duties caj^d for their employ- 1
rfient on both land and -sea. In recent <
years aviation Has also been an im- j
portant branch of this service, and j
many marines qualify as airplane
pilots or mechanics. , <
Newman is 18 years old and made 1
his home with Mr. Jim E. Dixon, in j
Westville,- prior to beginning his
career- with the soldiers of the sea. i
He will n >t know definitely for some li
weeks whether he will serve oh land
or sea, be attached to the aviation
branch or be assigned one of the
many special' tasks that fall to tho
lote of tho marines.

IN MEMORIAM.
The following tribute to the memory
of Mrs. R. T. Goodale is from the
pen of Mrs. M. M. Benson, who is the
wife of a former pastor of the Camden
Baptist church, but> who is now
residing at Conway:
Our beloved sister in Christ, Mrs.
Carrie Goodale, a devoted member of
the Camden First Baptist church, a
loyal member of the W. M. S. and
for a number of years superintendent
of the Kershaw Association, departed
this life and entered the life beyond,
August 10, 1,929.
We feel that her life motto was,
"Service," putting God first, others1
next, and self last, for she was ever
active in the Master's work and ever
faithful in her efforts to promote the
Christian welfare of all who came
under her influence. She was one of
the most devoted women I have ever
known. I shall always cherish her
memory, feeling that L was blessed in
knowing her, and shall strive to emulate
her loyalty and faithfulness to
the Master. I thank God for her life
of constant and inspiring helpfulness.
What a patient sufferer she was for
the past few years, not a murmur nor
complaint! But now she is rejoicing
in Hie presence and all griefs and
pains are banished; for she is face to
face with her Redeemer, whom she
loved and served. . _

Death of W. M. McCoy
Wag a Loeg to State f
Writing in the Hartsville Mesaen
K*r last week, Mr. David R. Coker,
well known citizen of Hartsville, pay*
the following deserved tribute to the
memory of Mr. W. L. McCoy, who
et at his home at McRee recently: *
"I doubt if the people of Cheaterfield
and Darlington countiea fully
realize the great loss they have sustained
in the death of Mr. W. L. McCoy
of Mcliec, A great deal of the
agricultural progr^s of thiB section
>f the state during the past decade
has been due to his energy, foresight
and sound judgment. We have better
roads and a more diversified agriculture
due to the life and work of
Mr. McCoy and political and social
conditions in his own -county have
been noticeably influenced for good by
his patriotic add disinterested work.
A man of outstanding honesty ami
energy, ho never spared himself when ''ju
working for the good of his community
and state, and his life was almost
certainly shortened by his constant
over-expenditure of energy in public
and private affairs from which this
section was benefited greatly.
"Will McCoy was not a politic man.
He had no use for dishonesty or laziness
and did not conceal this attitude.
Some who received the greatest benefit
from, his life and labors did not
appi eoiate him and were even unfriendly.
The seeds of a better and more . . ^
profitable civilization which he has
planted in this section will continue
to grow for many years and will contribute
more and more_lo the welfare
of the people whom he delighted to
serve.
"Personally I shall greatly miss
him, for he was my good frjend. Unless
others of equal energy and devotion
come forward promptly and
take up his great work this county
is going to greatly feel his loss financially
and socially.
"I hope the lessons of this outstanding
life will net be lost to the
younger generation."
