Coming to Camdeh only a few years ago an a New Knglander, he has endeared himself to all of our people who heartily congratulate him. The tragic death of James Carlos on the highway Sunday night again show;* the danger of vehicles being driven at night without lights. There is a state law to thiH' effeFt but for .-mme reason it /k not enforced in any p?f the counties. I>rivers of vehicles owe-, it to their own safety to provide these lights. County agent Henry I). Creen has a most interesting review of the work done by his department this year. Quite a lot of interest has been taken by the farmers in his projects and under his direction a few years will see a different and more remunerative method of farming in this county. He is a tireless worker and has his heart in his work and needs all the cooperation he can get from all sources.

Too hot to read, too hot to think; too hot to oat, too hot to drink; too hot to ride, too hot to walk; too hot to study, too hot to talk; too hot for any blooming thing, except the news that radios bring, in vibrant words and broadcast tones every blooming thing done by Bobby Jones.

The Daily Record Suspends The Rock Hill Daily Record in a first pago editorial Thursday announced that with that issue the paper would be suspended. In part it says; "That Rock Hill -is not large enough to support two newspapers mutually satisfactory to the publishers and the general public is an Apparent fact." The Yorkville Enquirer is sorry that the Daily Record could not make a go of it; hut never from its first, issue did this paper think it possible for Rook Hill to support two daily papers. The cost of issuing a newspaper today, either daily, semiweekly or weekly, i- so great that unles- there is a field that will amply support them they ju^t ennnot make i go ,.f it.

A dispatch from Tokyo says that n recent typhoon swept the islands of Loochoos and Kiusniu and swept on into southern Korea. It was said to be the worst typhoon in forty years and coat hundreds of lives ami the destruction of many houses. The race for the Democratic nomination for governor of Tennessee has been narrowed to L. K. Gwynn, of Memphis and Governor Henry Horton, by the withdrawal of Georgo M. Dunn, Johnston City lawyer. L-iija. .ii^ii ML 11,1 ?mm Reconstruction Work On River Bridge Probably many of the citizens of the community when crossing the Wateree river bridge recently have noticed the work going oil ti)ere, and have wondered what was being done. The great freshet of last summer cut into the bank on the east side of the river, undermining one bench of the pile supports and leaving it swinging in the air. These benches are fifteen feet apart but the bridge was temporarily repairer! at that time by putting two steel beams 30 feet long across the swinging span from the next pile bench on the east to the first concrete pillar of the steel bridge. This work was done so <iui<kl> that traffic on the bridge was not interrupted. The County Board of Directors however, have bee/i afraid that the next high water might cause further encroachment into the hank, and af- i ter consultation with the bridge engineers of the state highway department and under the very efficient supervision and direction of the County Bridge Foreman, Mr. M. H. Deal, are putting in a permanent new span. They are erecting a new con- j crete pillar sixty feet from the Camden end of the steel bridge structure and are putting two sixty-foot steel I-beams from this new pillar to the first pillar of the steel bridge. These beams are the largest size that is rolled by the steel mills and weigh alrout five tons each. It is a very interesting sight when these large pieces of metal are put into pn> itmn. T'ni* work testifies to the care and fore-ightedrie-- of tiie County Board of Di'ecloi- in making the bridge afer ftom the encroachment of hiirh W;,tei than it was ever before the fte-het of last year. It in mill be web to -tate here al.su that when the bridge was rei uutly completely ; ?floored the stringers under the surface were , placed twenty-five per cent closer together than they were originally,! thus making the bridge stronger and firmer than it had ever been before, even when first built. Applauding a Judge's View The public, like Judge T. J. Mauldin, is "getting tired of this arguing for new trials and appealing to the Supreme court for the purpose only of gaining time." The distinguished jurist made the remarks in General Sessions Court here the other day. Seldom, he said, is the guilt or innocence of defendants in Question iti most cases of the kind. They are used to stall for time, to postpone the day of punishment, and in the thin hope of avoiding the sentence? and sometimes, as Judge Mauldin said, the defendants while out on bond awaiting final disposition of their cases they get into trouble with the law again. "That helps make confirmed and habitual criminals," the judge said. "Probably if the law had worked speedily in the first instance the man's life would have been changed and he wouh? have become a good citizen." The public is encouraged when it hears opinions like that from the bench because the public, however npathetic it might seem and might sometimes be, at 'bottom earnestly desires prompt and certain legal justice. It has faith that is the chiefest hope for turning back the wave of1 crime.?-Greenville Piedmont. Harry S. Black, wealthy New York hotel man committed suicide in his hotel suite in New York Saturday.

How did h? pay hi* entry fee of $400? Theae and other similar question* have been asked repeatedly by those who have noted his constant attack* on Governor John G. Richard#, the highway department and the entire slate administration. < He re is the answer. His entry fee was paid, according to Gen. Wylie Jones, treasurer of the State Democratic executive committee?, by two notes, and some cash. It will be recalled that his last minute entry was a surprise and he was designated at the time as the "eleventh hour candidate." According to Gen. Jones, Mr. McMahan came into his office a few minutes before the time set for closing the entries in the Democratic primary Monday, June 10, at noon. Mr. McMahan told the com- j . mittee treasurer that he wanted to enter the race for governor and offered him a note for $150, endorsed by I). W. Robinson, of Columbia, attorney for the opponents of the $65,000,000 highway bond issue; a note for $100 endorsed by A. B. Langley, of Columbia, personal friend of Mr. McMahan. and former member of the highway commission, and $-40 in cash, making a total of $200, which is $110 lefts than the required sum of $400. Gen. Jones stood.for the $110 and Mr. McMahan entered the race and started his campaign at Ix-xington the next day.?-Carolina Free Press. Courts and Papers Blamed. If Otto Wood had been tried and convicted in Kngland or Canada, he i would have been electrocuted and by [ this time forgotten, and besides he would have Ik-en out of the way, and could not have annoyed society as he is now doing and been an expense to the taxpayers. . Otto has become a he^o ii. the eyeS ' of many because he is an expert jail breaker and < arM. it be kept in prison. All this glamour and glitter, the act of the hero, and the expert, is certain ly attractive to some who like adven- , ture of any sort. | That is why there are riots and mutinies in jails and penitentiaries. It ; is the heroic, the desire to do great things to get into the public eye and the public prints. Otto's example and the way the state is dealing with him will do more harm to those who are 1 inclined to be vicious and follow the lead of such a man, and the young boy who thinks its truly great to have your picture in the paper, and to be applauded for doing things whether good or bad, for Otto is not like the flower that was born to blush unseen and shed his fragrance on the desert air, hut is like the miasma of death which spreads all around to encourage others to do likewise, because he receives much more publicity and applause than the one who follows the j quiet but virtuous life. Unless the people of America de- j mand of the courts more electrocutions, and quick and sure punishment and death for criminals, this country will be in the hands of the criminals and cut throats. Several cities of the J country are already in their hands, and more ?re coming to that condition.?'Wilson (N. CO Times. Farm Bulletin The following U. S.

Gladden, Manager [ Read What an Owner Says I I of the I American Austin Car I If you doubt same, call on us to prove to you right I I here in Camden it can be done. - I I Ask C. C. Vaughn at Camden what it will do. j I I j Of great interest to all of us is the report of Mr. Harry Cantey, Jr., on the per* j ; forma nee of the American Austin which he purchased on July 5th and which was I I delivered to him at 10 o'clock that night. I j Mr. Cantey was in our place eight days after he purchased the car with the I I speedometer reading 1,785 miles. Not only was he highly delighted with the eco- ft I nonmical performance of the Austin, a performance that even he did not expect, hut j he tells us that he negotiated roads between Conway and Green Sea, which were I I | ankle deep in sand. That the Austin showed remarkable reserve power, and that j I he was able to make as good time over these roads as any of the cars traveling in I I ! his direction. He had the car up as high as 59 miles an hour over good roads, and [I advises us that 50 miles is just a fair "cruising speed." | With reference to the economy of operation, Mr. Cantey has averaged 44 j | | miles to the gallon, which in a new car is very remarakable. That you might have j a better idea of just what this means, if you will take any car averaging 17 miles I ij per gallon of gasoline (which is quite a high average) it would have required over jj | 100 gallons of gas to cover the same mileage. Based on this the Austin effected a j| I i saving of 60 gallons of gas, which if taken at a retail price of 23 cents would mean I $13.80. If Mr. Cantey continues to make this same mileage, he will effect a sav- I ,| ing of at least $55.20 per month, or enough to pay for his Austin in less than ten j I months on gasoline alone. This, of course, does not consider the low cost of tires |j I I and oil or the many other economies of the Austin, but is enough to prove to our I ^ I prospects that the Austin in the held of economy is outstanding and alone.
