The Chronicle wishes to extend
itb greeting* for a Happy and ProaperouH
New Year to all it#, reader#,
friend# and patrons. While the year
just closing ha# been an unusual one
over the entire nation, the year 1.980
can be made a better and more prosperous
one if men and women in all
walk# of life will,-.include in their
new resolution to do^ tnpre work and
less joy-riding. Here's hoping that
all will lend their best efforts to
mukc this one of the best yeurs in
the history of the nation.
The jrooplo <>f Camden and Kershaw
County know how to sympathize with
those unfortunate families in Paisley,
Scotland, when on Now Year's night,
seventy-two tots in a mirthful theater
lost their lives in a panic. It
has been only a few years and is
still fresh in everyone's mini when
the citizens of this town and county
were called upon to mourn the lox.<
of seven'y-seven of their kindred and
friends in a similar disaster when
the Cleveland school house burned on
an evening in May when mirth was
turned to tragedy.
Here's good luck to our friend
Henry It. Creen, the untiring county
agent. May he he able to put over
his diveisified farm program which
he has undertaken in this county.
He has faith in our people and with
hearty pet al ion from town and
county foiks lie can accomplish what
he h.i i ' ' out to do.

According, to a di-pahh from ( olumbia,
Judge Mendel I,. Smith ol
Camden, is expected to be a candidate
for governor next summer as the
champion and friend of the bond issue
plan for completing the statL'
highway system. In all probability
that issue will have passed before the
next campaign,.through a decision of
the United States Supreme court not
to interfere with South Carolina's
affairs, hut should it be about, no man
in the state will Ik* more able to make
clear to the people of the state tho
advantage of the bond issue plan.
His able and brilliant argument before
the Supreme court of South Carolina
supporting the constitutionality
of the act. was a masterpiece and
.should be heard by the people of the
state. Judge Smith with a statewide
issue of interest to the people
would make u great campaign. Spart

188 i;K FOR 1930
Opposition to the state highway
Vxmd measure provides the big issue
for th? gover norshiji campaign next
year. The /act that such a campaign
will really have a worthwhile issue
within itself is encouraging, and a
departure from the beaten path.
There ia sharp division amongst the
people on this issue, since the supreme
court in en banc session sustained
the constitutionality of the
legislative enactment. At the same
time we recognise there is opposition.
South Carolina is going to have
a complete, modern network of state
highways just so surely as anything
can be reckoned a certainty. It may
take time, and lots of it, but the
system will eventually be constructed.
It would have been the launching
of a big ma jor .project for tin; entire
state had the program been
started with the first of the new
year, as state highway officials and
others planned. If it lags until
spring or summer it will become more
and more enmeshed in politics, which
in the final analysis, will not do the
i i;usc of good roads-any good. -Spartanburg
Journal. ^
lltACKDY IN A CABIN
North Carolina papers have published
a photograph of the Lawson family,
seven of whom were killed when
a demented father went on a rampage
Christinas day. The picture is
pitiful, tin* mother,, holding a baby
in her arms, with a grown daughter
and son standing and four younger
ihildren seated below them. It makes
graphic one of the worst tragedies
tin- Carolinus have witnessed.
The pictorial story of this event
would not be complete without an
illu-traiton of the home where the
I.aw son family lived until the illfated
end. That, too, is furnished.
It i> a barn-like structure that could
not contain more than one or two
rooms. It appears old and dilapidated.
and one guesses it has not
seen paint in many years.
Insanity is apt t<* break forth in
high as well as low places, and yet
the thought of those nine people living
with scant conveniences in a
ramshackle cabin suggests a feasible
explanation of this tragedy. The
state says there shall be no limitation
of offspring. But the state is
impotent to enforce its decree upon
the well-to-do and intelligent. Its
blow fulls almost solely upon parents
like the Lawsons. They have more
children than they can take care of,
and sotnetjmes it drives them to insanity.
