Camden people are justly proud of
the honors bestowed upon Stan

elected to the highest post in the
American Legion. 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.

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 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

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.

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.

Secret of McMahao* Kotry Fee.
Who i* backing John J. "McMahan,
of Columbia, in hia rac? for governor
? 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

I If you doubt same, call on us to prove to you right 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. I
