CAMDEN A GOOD MARKET
Camden cotton buyers tell uh that
many bales of cotton coming from
nearby counties were sold on this
market the past week. Planters who
have not been coming this market
for several years have been selling
their cotton here, and they ure from
near Bishopville, in Lee county, many
from near Bidgeway ih Fairfield,
from as far as Chesterfield and from
near th? Lancaster county line,. This
HjH'ttks well for the Camden buyers
and it is a big boost for Camden. It
is estimated that around ftftWh hundred
bales were sold on the Camden
market last week.
KEEP YOUK MONEY AT HOME
Money is the equivalent of power.
When you send money awuy from
your home town for things you could
as well buy at home, you drain part
of the community's po'wer away from
it. Parasite plants often destroy
trees, by sapping out the life from
their trunks. Parasite people also
ruin communities by receiving its
benefits and giving nothing in return.?Rock
Hill Record.
COURTESY AMONG POLICEMEN
Chief Horace Moore has gotten the
word over to the police force of the
city over whose destinies he has lately
been elected to preside, that the first
of the demands which he will make of
every one of them is that they shall
he courteous in the performance of
their duty to the public.
That, originally would not have
boon weighed heavily as a factor in
the success of a man on the police
force of a town, but today it is vital,
for the simple realign tlust officers
of the law who are on traffic duty,
which the majority of them ure, come
into contact not with criminals so
much as with the best people they
serve in their communities. It is highly
important, therefore, that in order
to maintain satisfactory relations
with the citizenship,-these?officers
shall deal with the public in a cordial
and courteous manner.
Rut the most important consideration
is that courtesy is essential in
a police officer because of the contacts
with strangers that are enforced
upon him. When a visitor comes to
town, igorant of traffic rules and
regulations, and is approached by an
officer in a rude and uncivil manner,
that visitor takes away with him
unpleasant and distaseful memories
of the community. On the other hand
an officer of the law can make his
relations with the>o strangers to
turn into a veritable community asset
if lie eonduets himself pleasantly and
cordially toward them.
Chief Moore i- right. Coiirtesty is,
indeed, the big word today in the
lexicon of sucess in a police department.

Boy Kills His Uncle
By Stabs From Knife
Hazell JBowerf, aged about 21 years,
is bi'iiiK h?ld in the county jail by a
coroner's jury, charged with the death
of B. B. Bowers, aged about 35, who
was an uncle of the boy.
It is stated that a party had been
out hunting squirrels Saturday utter
noon about seven miles east of
Kershaw near Buffalo church. Late!
in the afternoon after the hunt was
over several shots were fired at ail
empty gun shell as a target, and
dispute arose between the two men.
The elder Bowers was cut in several
places with a knife, the wound provmg
fatal was the one under his left
arm which severed the main artery.
After the fight the wounded ma:i
was placed in a truck to be carried
to Kershaw for treatment. On the
way the truck turned over and it was
first reported that the man had died
from the truck injuries. Dr. L. T.
Gregory, who made the examination,
gave it as his opinion that the man
died from loss of blood from the
wound in the left arm.
B. B. Bowers is a son of John I.
Bowers, a well known citizen of the
Buffalo section, and Hazell Bowers is
a grandson of J. I. Bowers.
Coroner W. F. Russell held an inquest
over the body at Kershaw and
the following men composed the jury:
A. C. Gregory, foreman; Joe Hough,
L. W. Fletcher, T. B. Fletcher, J. E.
Hendrix, I). F. Phillips. Their verdict
was that the deceased came to his
death by knife wound inflicted by
Hazell Bowers.
The following account appeared in
the Lancaster News of Tuesday morn-^
:ng:
H. B. Bowers, of the Buffalo section
near Kershaw met death Saturday
night from what is now believe!
have been knife wounds inflicted
"nv his nephew, Hazel Bowers. It
\ui> believed at first that he died
from injuries received wher\ a truck
turned over as the wounded man was
being taken to Kershaw for treatment.
According to reports the deceased
is alleged to have made an attempt
to strike his nephew, Hazel Bowers,
with a gun and the latter drew his
knife to defend himself. The deceased
received two severe cuts, one about
the face and the other on the arm.
Death is believed to "have been due
to the severing of an artery in the
arm.
When the wounded man was being
taken to Kershaw it is said that little
attention was taken to the knife
wound in the arm as it was believed
that the large amount of blood that
was shed was due to the cut on the
face.
As Bowers was being taken to
Kershaw by his companions who had
been with him on a hunting party
the tnn k met with an accident and
turned over. No one was seriously
hurt but as Bowers was dead who.i
the truck .reached Kershaw it was
erroneously reported that he died as
the results of the motor accident.
Deceased was very well known in
the Buffalo section of the county. He
was formerly a traveling salesman
but had been living on the farm recently.
Deceased has several relatives in
Lancaster county who attended the
funeral services at Kershaw on Sunday.
The place where the affair took
place is but a few miles from the
Lancaster county line in Kershaw
county.
