{ five-room residence of W. A. Ander(
son, near the Hermitage school build(
iug. Nearly all of the contents were
also consumed. Mr. Anderson is the
t well-known meat peddler, who has
been a familiar figure on our streets
for many years, driving, his horse,
drawn wagon.
| Friends of Mrs. C. J. Shannon, Sr.,
will be pleased to know that she is
j recovering from a severe illness. It
will be interesting to know that this
venerable couple have the unique distinction
of having enjoyed 64 years
of wedded life and are the parents of
nine children, twenty-nine grandchildren
and fourteen- great-grand1
children. They are two of Camden's
beloved citizens. ?

Ga., is the new keeper in charge of

Prowlers who havo molested property
there in times gone by are no longer
seen around there at night since he
has been in charge.
Karly passers-by Sunday on the
road to the Wateree river bridge witnessed
the V-shaped flight of one , of
the largest flocks of wild geese seen
here in many years. The birds were
flying northward to the big Wateree
pond. They had been feeding on
growing grain on river farms below
Camden during the moonlight and
were enroute to rtpend the day on
the waters of the big pond,
j The city is having some of the
streets of Camden replanted with
trees. Four hundred Carolina laurels,
commonly known as mock oranges,

Some 050 live oaks aro being placed
on the four principal streets running
north and south?'Mill, Fair,
Lyttleton and Broad?and the parks.
The work is being done by city street
forces and the total cost of trees
will not exceed $200. Due to the ex
tri-nie drouth the past year many of
the trees died ar>d these will fill up
} missing places, in years to come.

The supreme court in enjoining a
dozen slot machine owners and operators
from setting uj\ their machines
in this state said it seldom issues
an injunction against law violators,
leaving that to the trial courts
to decide guilt, but the slot machine
men have been so busily engaged in
enjoining sheriffs $nd. police chiefs
from seizing their machines operated
in violation of law, that it will make
an exception of them. Now, if they
operate the machines they will be
subject to fine for contempt, instead
of a jury trial in the criminal court.

JOSEPH M. SMITH, Manager jj
Mt. Moriah Holds
Unique Record
The fcixty-sixth anniversary 1 services
*>i the founding of Mt. Moriah
Baptist church were held Sunday
, with a large congregation attending.
| The services were interspersed by old
(time jubilee songs, and the chief fea(ture
of the services was the nnnual
address delivered by. Judge Mendel
|L. Smith, of this city. In his address
Judge 'Smith gave some interesting
! historical facts in connection with
this church. He said:
"On January 22, 1866, one hundred
and four letters of-dismission -were
granted to members of the First
I Baptist church, white, for the purI
pose of organizing the colored Baptist
church, fifty^four of these were
male.and fifty females. Rev. <C, O,
Cory, a white missionary of the American
Baptist Home Mission Society
l and James Hamilton, colored, of the
American Baptist Missionary iSociety
instituted the church.
I "In 1868 the lot upon which the
present church is located was con"
veyed to the organization. There
were two old buildings on the site-at
that time which were remodelled and
which were used as the church. The
present building was constructed in
1891. *
"The Rev. Monroe Boykin was
elected pastor at the organization of
I the church and served actively until
J - ** "7 " f-a
May, 1901, and as emeritus until
December 1, 1904, the time of his
death. His son, tfo'J. W. Boykin,
was elected active pastor in May,
1901, and has served the church conTlhuoualy
up to this time.
"The", history, of this church is unique
in-aB-much-as it has had qnjjiy
two pastors, father and eon, during
its entire history, a period of sixtysix
years. The church membership
comprises some of the best colored /J
citizens of the community." '
The rule of the state highway department
that it will accept nothing
but money orders in payment of license
plate fees is being tested by D.
Gordon Baiter, former state senator
from Florence, who got a restraining
order from a county judge front i interfering
with his car bearing 1981 '
plates. He remitted cashiers checks
for two new plates on time, and the - visjj
department sent them back to him ^
and demanded money orders about
the time the bank closed permanently.
Unemployed women of Brisbane, (Jr,
Australia, threaten to march,through
the streets of the city nude, unless
the estate minister of labor agree? to
discuss their problems with them.
Joscphus Daniels, of Raleigh, N. C.,former
secretary of the. navy, was injured,
but not seriously, in an automobile
accident in Georgia Wednesday
