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.

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.

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. ?

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.
