Kendall Sets Pace* In Re-Seeding Lands For. soma weeks there has been considerable talk in Camden concerning a reforestation project, but until this week nothing definite was known when Mr. Henry P, Kendall of the Kendall Mills of this eity put a large forofec on-b right ac b put a lai-ge force of hands to work preparing several hundred acres to be planted in long leaf pines, slash pines, walnuts and pecans. In taking the lead in this work Mr, Kendall is doing a great thing for Kershaw County and South Carolina. Mr. Kendall recojjplzes that the real relief for agriculture and the future prosperity of South Carolina lies in the utilization of every, acre of land to grow some crops that are suited to the soils they are planted on. In riding ovefr South Carolina he has seen millions of acres of land lying idle or growing worthless black jacks and proceeded to cunsult experts, such; as our state forester, L. E Staley, county agents and others, to find out the trouble. Mr. Kendall is, end has been, u student of South Carolina history. !He knew no state nor any people could 1 ever have attained the greatness that has been South Carolinas on vacant, idle land and black jacks. His study of history revealed to him that in the past these black jack, bushy fields wore once covered .vyith long leaf pine forests that yielded the fin* est timber known to man, and for more than a century turpentine and resin were staple crops that never failed dry or wet years. In the past when crop failures came every farmer had timber to fall back on to give his labor work and feed his own family. Today the forests are gone. The good days of high prices for labor in turpentine woods are no more. - Authorities have told Mr. Kendall that this idle land will again grow forests and that if rightly done will grow forests with profits. Mr. Kendall's undertaking to establish reforestation as a practical thing for every farmer came at a very opportune time when many people arendle and seeking work. The only thing Mr. Kendall 'is worried about is what cooperation he will have from the citizens of Camden and surrounding country in the control of firest * The great problem of reforestation is the control of forest fires. Of all the people in the world "who should welcome re-forestation and lend every effort to cooperate in fire control, our laboring people should be first, because they will be first to- reap the benefit. _Slash pine will yield turpentine in from 9 to 14 years, if protected from fires. Long leaf pine should yield turpentine in from 14 to 20 years, it protected from fire and if the French methods of working are followed a ?oreBt will yield turpentine for* a hundred years and then make lunjj>er and cross ties. In conjunction with the stat$ fornesty department a fire tower will be; erected that will overlook around 20,000 acres of land, parts of which will be reforested. It has always been known that "those who live in the midst of opportunities seldom see them until too late. Sartt has been with us and our lands. It took an observing, publicapirited man such as Henry P. Kendall is to show us the way. May his tribe increase and prosper. ? . ~ I Camden Included in | New Airplane Ronte w Baltimore, Dec, 4.?Announcing plans for an airplane passenger service from New York to Miami, through Baltimore, Edward Handler, president of -the Baltimore Airways, Inc., left tonight for Miami to complete arrangements for the service, which he said would be inaugurated December 10 The Baltimore Airways operates an airport here and a daily .passenger line from Baltimore to New York."A weekly schedule calling for three flights each way, would be put in 'operation, Mr. Handler said, starting from New York and Miami, and making landings at Jacksonville, Savannah. Camden, 8. C., Raleigh. N. C., Richmond and Baltimore. Flanes to be placed in operation will be similar to those in the New York^Baltimore sendee, monoplanes with glass^ in Camden Team Wins Hard Fought Game The Camden Bulldogs this afternoon administered a neat 19 to 0 shellacking to Hartsville *hd thereby won the lower state Ciass B footbull championship. S?m Chewning, a football jack rabbit, was the sparkplug of a fast and shifty backfield combination that unloaded and ignited a ton of dynamite in the camp of the enemy. A gfceat and enthusiastic gallery 'witnessed the victory which was far mon decisive and overwhelming than the score indicated. Stores were closed during the afternoon and the g) cuter portion of the citizenry was on hand to cheer the home lads in their impressive triumph. Hartsvillc was hopeless from the opening1' whistle. In the. fundamental. tackling and blockifig the visitors showed flashes of real form but their offense rarely got beyond the line of scrimmage. Their defense lacked the concentrated strength needed to stop the shifty, scampering Bullodgs. Nevertheless it was left for a Harts villc player, Woodrow Teddar, to make the longest ryn of the day and figure in the most sensational play of the game. Late in the fourth quarter Teddar galloped behind' perfect interference some 60 yards up the field after gathering in a long kick off. That was the lone dismay of offense that the visitors showed and it was spoiled on the next play when this same Teddar butter-fingered a snapback from center and lost the j ball to the more alert Bulldogs. Hartsville failed to make a single first down. Although Hartsville's offense paled #into utter Insignificance its defense prevented Cartiden from rolling up th.- tremendous score that the letter's manifested superiority seemed to nSerit. Always with their bncks to the wall the, visitors demonstrated a commendable determination that reached its zenith in the scoring zones, i Chewning was by no means the only thorn in Hartsville's side Haynes I was almost equally as formidable and was here, there and everywhere over ] the turf in Camden's versatile attack that was marked by timeliness and precision. Wooten proved a fullback I battering ram and Clyburn distinguished himself frequently as a ball toter in the mass plays directed off tackle and ?round end. N<$a yard was gained around Russell at rigty end and that gladiator came into the backfield- when, in the latter part of the game Haynes was disabled, to demonstrate that he was enqatty at home in these environs. ^On the receiving end of passes he was poi&on and passes played a conspicuous part of the debacle. , Camden shot up the field aftei1 the opening kickoff, manufacturing first down after firstdowu until it was less jthan five yards from the'upi rights. A bobble by Wooten, who 1 later atoned in full for the sin, pre*vented a possible score. After the punt out from danger, Camden rushed the ball again*, within the scoring .zone, but this time was repulsed. ? ? chiefly around end, by Chewning and Haynes were largely responsible for these threats. After that, practically throughout the game, Chewning and Haynes aided admirably by their other backfield compatriotsr ke-pt the- ball * within mashie distance of the HartsviHe goal. -The first score came in the second .quarter when a drive ^started from the middle of the field. A pass, Haynes t6 Russell, good for 80 yards, followed by Haynes' 10-yard end run were high lights. Then Wooten made a courageous hurdle over center for the f$w needed feet. A play from scrimmage failed to achievqt^U^extra j>oint. In the third quarter Camden uncorked another scintillating drive. Three first downs through divers tactics wbs followed by another Haynes to Russell pass, this one good for $0^yChewning then darted dowi the, sidelines to catch a pass in . tha flats tossed by Hayftss and fell over the goal line for the second was good: A fumbled punt on the 25-yard line and. final .scons. Chewning galloped to a good measure first down and tWlWw e p,,,, to Chimin# for the wore. Chewnlnc wee wMe open on the play. Russell's kick for goal was low on this occasion. r While Camden's passing attack was outstanding, Hartsville "fatledTto exhibit a single consistent and accurate passer. And while Chewning kicked consistently well for Camden, Hartsvilli's punting was, for the most part ineffective. Lineup and summary: Camden. Hartsville. Wooten le ..s. ..... West Guion ...,. ....

Advises Care in The Handling of Milk , y .At present there is u concerte<i movement being made to encourage every family on a farm in Kershaw County to have at leant one milk producing cow at all times during the year. This is undoubtedly a most worthy undertaking^ since there is no item of food so universally useful and important to the maintenance of health. The contents of normal milk are combined in such manner by nature that it is very nearly a whole food in itself, and this renders it a most valuable adjunct to the diet of everyone, says Dr. A. W. Humphries, of. the Kershaw County Health Department. Too much stress cannot be made upon the importance of having the cow tested at regular intervals against tuberculosis and uudoiant fever, since infected cows do not produce pure milk to begin with. When milk is secreted from the cow that is healthy, it is practically clean and sterile, therefore the factors causing it to be unfit for human use come from outside agencies. Then, great care should be exercised in the selection of a suitable place to do the milking, always avoid ing a room or stall over which is a loft from which dirt and trash can fall into the milking vessel. The cow's udder should be washed thoroughly and dried with a clean cloth and after the hands have been thoroughly cleaned all milking should be done with teats and hands dry and not moistened with water or milk foam. Milk should then be taker from the barn or lot into a house protected from flies and strained through clean cloths into vessel* that have been washed with an alkaline (baking soda or washing pow der) solution and placed in a cold place until ready for use. The ob ject in keeping the milk cold is tc prevent the multiplication of bacte ria or germs that soon cause it tc be unfit for use, especially in children who need it mofet. In one hour after milking there art about an average of 60,000 bacteria in every teaspoonful of milk that is not kept cold, and in a few mort hours there are several millions present. These bacteria are not all disease producing but they change the normal alkaline reaction to an acid one which produces an irritation in the intestinal tract resulting in stomach and bowel disorders particularly in small children. Very often milk is several hours old tastes sweet andQs given to the child and it is not until the next day that the symptoms show up when it- is then toe late to correct the error. Hence it is evident how important it is to keep the milk cold clean and sweet. ? Musical Program at Pinf Grove On "Friday evening, December 13. at 8 o'clock, a musical program will be given at Pine Grove school house. The public is cordially invited to enjoy an evening of music together. Those taking part on the program are Miss Celeste Mumford, of Camden, and the well known Bookman family of Blaney. ~ Those who have had the pleasure of hearing these talented musicians befor$ will certainly not let this opportunity go by. A small admission of 10 and 16 cents will be charged. The proceeds to go for the benefit of the school library. New Publication in > J Interest of Resorts < amden will be one of the wintering places of this section to be embraced in the general scope of CArolina iteSorts, n deluxe wt^kly puVUcetiop to be issued throughout thfc winter season, the initial dumber to appear January 2. ^The other resor(s ' to .be included ure Aiken, Augusta, Charleston, Summerville, Myrtle Beach, Beaufort, and possibly Pinehurst. Carolina Resorts will be published from Aiken by Walter E. Duncan, a newspaper man of wide experience in this and other states and a successful publisher. Mr. Duncan* who now publishes u chain of weekly newspapers, was formerly Comptroller General of South Carolina, and also served as executive secretary to Governor Richard I. Manning. His newspaper . i experience has been very extensive. Last year he traveled over 17 countries in Kurope, Asia and Africa, writing a series of travel articles for a syndicate of newspapers, and. some years ago made a similar trip through Central America for the same pur' pose. Although Carolina Resorts will bo published from Aiken, where Mr. Duncan makes his home, the various resorts included will be treated impartially and Carolina Resorts will in ^ no wise be a publication for the promotion of Aiken over any other resort of this section. Rather it will bo a tourist magazine for tourists, win; ter residents and visitors. In its pages i will be reported eaojh, week during the v ? i winter season the social news of the 1 various resorts of this section. The r sports will also be given space, and a feature will be nn advance schedule of sporting uotivities?the polo, hunts, 1 golf tournaments, etc. In addition space will be devoted to articles on > the resorts and playgrounds and some. - of the attractions these hold out to > the winter resident and visitor. Carolina Reports will hfve a general circulation throughout the North ! and East as well as at the resorts of i this section, and will also circulate at t #the Florida resorts to attract those 1 ? who* leaving those resorts early, may ^ be induced to stop over at Camden, VvC Aiken or some other South Carolina s winter place on their way home. Some I of the through line railroads haVO i contracted to - distribute large numbers of copies of Carolina Resorts through* their passenger offices and , representatives in the North and East. At Camden, as at Charleston, Au; gusta, Myrtle Beach and other re sorts, the periodical will maintain i experienced correspondents who will , furnish the resort news weekly. * i The Cover design, a copyvof which The Chrpniple has seen, is handsomely-done in three colors and l|V|Af Attractive. _ .... The advantage which will be enjoyed by Camden by reason of being included in this high-class publication ^ as one of the principal resorts of this section will be incalculable. Onmden ' will get a great deal pf splendid advertising through Carolina -Resorts. The publication will be on sale at the newstunds hero as elsewhere through-; . out the country. Mr. Duncan, accompanied bjrhls atf sistant, Mr. C. W. Moorman, of Co* lumbia, was a visitor to Camden last week in the interest of Carolina Resorts. Lloyd George, former premier of England, told the house of commons last Wednesday that the'Armistice day address of President Hoover in " behalf of world peace,-was "one of the most remarkable utterances over made," and further that tjie British Labor government and the ijnltecT: States had the power to insist on something being done to terminate the present world situation of huge armies. / HEAUH GREETINGS
