Accused Kidnaper
Is Under Arrest
Hock HW1, Nov. 1U.~After eluding
police of two or threa states for
more thun a month, Willie Wilson,
35-year-old* married man of CJrover,
N. C., was arrested -here late today
on a charge of kidnaping Esther
Furcron, 17-year-old student of An
demon college.
A party fo Rock Hill officers found
WiUon sound asleep in the home of
his brother, M. Wilson, about 5 p. m.
Wilson submHted to arrest peaceably.
In addition to the kidnaping
charge, Wilson faces charges of larceny
of an automobile and three bales
of cotton in .Shelby, N. C., and one
of stealing un automobile in Greenville.
v .
The man denied kidnaping Miss
Furcron, .who was from his home
town. "She went .with me v<*untarily,"
he is said to have told officers.
They quoted hfcm as admitting
that be stole an automobile in Greenville.
He said he had ftpent most of
the past few iweeks in Greenville
a:ul Charlotte, N. ., after thy girl
rejoined her parents.
Miss Furcron disappeared from her
school at Anderson October 10 after
securing ipcrmission to take a short
ride with a "Mr. Wilson." Several
days latciv at tho instigation of Governor
Richards, a Warrant charging
Wiflson with kidnaping was issued.
The governor had been appealed to
by the girl's futher, the Rev. W. E.
Furcron, Ra.ptist minister of Grover.
October 17 Esther reported to police
at Athens, Ga. She said she
had escaped from Wilson's automobile
as it slowed down when passing
through Athens. She said that she.
was lured away by Wilson by means
of a story that iher sweetheart, who
was Wilsno's brother-in-law, had sent
him to bring her to him and they
were to 'be married.
The Rev. Mr. Furcron said that the
girl was not harmed by Wilson. She
said that after leaving Anderson they
went as far as Illinois! but turned
back when she pleaded with him
to return South.
Wilson was in jail here tonight.
lOfficers said they would await Wor 1
from Anderson, where the kidnaping
warrant was issued,
Congressional advocates of government
operation of the Muscles
Shoals plant, will again bring the
matter before the next session of
congress. The fight will Ik* led by
Chairman MeNarv of the senate agricultural
committee.
"Red Cross" Seals
The phrase "Red Cross Seals" is
a misnomer, according to a joint
statement issued by the National 1 uberculosis
Association and the American
Red Cross, a copy of which has
just been received bv Mrs. A. W.
Humphries, Christmas Seal chairman
for Kershaw county.
The proper term is " Christinas
Seals" or "Health Christmas Seals."
The seal is no 'longer sold by the
Red Cross and has not had any connection
with the Red Cross since
I'd IP. It is manufacturer! by the
National Tuberculosis Association,
distributed by tho stnte tuberculosis
associations and sold by county and
city Christmas seal committees and
health organizations.
Tho seal since 1919 has borne the
design of the double-barred cross
(the I/orraine cross) which is tho official
emblem of the international
crusade against tuberculosis.
Tho proceeds are used locally for
several forms of health work.
The Red Cross raises its money
through the annual roll call and
through special contributions in time
of disaster. By agreement between
its national headquarters and the
National Tuberculosis association
the Roll CaJl is limited to the time
between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving,
and the public sale- of seals
begins the day after Thanksgiving.
While publicity and organization
work on the two campaigns necessarily
overlap, strict instructions are
issued by ibotih national headquarters
that roll call solicitations must cease
on Thanksgiving Day, while on the
other hand the general public sale
o<f seals through the mail, by neighborhood
canvass or through public
booths shall not begin earlier than
"the following d*y> November 28th.

Camden Took Game
From Union Eleven
Th^ Camden eleven, playing uk one
man, l^t Friday afternoon defeated
the powerful team from Union, 13,
to 6, in a k>i me which was a real
gridiron classic. The Bulldogs showed
their great fighting spirit, winning
?he game from the heavier Union
team by sheer grit and cunning. The
Union team played an exceptionally
istrong game, giving Camden a hard
battle all through the game.
The greatest thrill, in a game full
of thrills, came when Russell, Camden's
fullback, caught the ball after
the kickoff which opened the second
half, on Camden's 15-yard liite, and
ran the remaining 85 yards through a
broken field for a touchdown. Russell
played a great game of football
today, and could be depended upon
to make the last few feet for a first I
down almost every time he triedThe
passing and running of Brown,
halfback for Camden, were largely
responsible for the local team's first
score. This boy, who did not attract
much notice the first of the season,
came brilliantly forth last week in
the game with -Chester, and today
played the best game of his career.
MeUeod, Camden's hefty center, played
the best defensive game in the
line, while Russell, Chewning and
McCaskill did excellent work in the
back field. "Bohelor, tackle, was also
a strong point in the line.
The local boys displayed much
better team work than they showed
last week against Chester.
Perrin, Union's halfback, showed
some pretty playing, as did Reeder,
center. Powell, fullback, was outstanding
in the lineup of the visitors.
His left-handed passes were an important
feature in their offense. The
Union team got off to a good start,
making their only touchdown in the
first five minnutes of tplay. Powell
caught the ball after Camden fumbled,
in one of the first plays after
the kickoff, and ran halfway up the
field. The visitors made the rest of
their gains by line plunges, each one
netting from 12 to 15 yards, marching
straight down the field for a
touchdown.
After their score they played a
strictly defensive game, against the
iiuick headwork and fast stepping of
the Bulldogs. Union kicked back
whenever they received the ball in
dangerous territory, in a powerless
attempt to prevent Camden's scoring.
The Camden boys, however,
gained in spite of the exchange of
many punts, and at the end of the
first quarter lost the ball when a
Union player intercepted a pass on
their 25-yard line. This point was
too close for the visitors, however,
and they kicked out, Chewning receiving
on Union's 43-yard line. This
was the beginning of Camden's race
down the field for their first score,
Brown making several long gains in
th?!-. powerful?ath aiicy. Near their"
goal line the Union line stiffened, an 1
held like a wall of icon, the visitors
recovering the ball on downs. They
kicked out again, and on the first
play after this Russell, catching a
20"-yard pass from Brown, ran 40
yards for a touchdown. Camden also
failed for the extra point ,and at the
end of the half the score was a t3
to 6 tie. i
\\ hen Russell scored for the second
time immediately after the kickoff in
the second half, Camden this time
gained the point after touchdown,
gaining the lead which they retained
! throughout the game.
Union again threatened to score
towards the last of the fourth quarter,
when Camden lost the ball on
downs on their own 25-yard line, and
a Union boy on the first play after
this ran 60 yards down the field,
when he was forced outside. The
Union boys advanced to within two
yards of Camden's goal, were heQd
for four downs and had to give up
possession on the ball. The Bulldogs'
line could not be broken
through.
The lineup was as follows:
Union Camden
Harris UK .... Thompson
Kirby UT !. Boheler
Smith 1X4 Creed
Reeder C . McLeod
(I rooter R(i Pitts
Cheek RT Jones
Kden RK .... (c) Wooten
