- ill with pneumonia.
Dick Kirkland and Frank Mackey,
of The (Jrill, have quite a nice and
attractive sandwich sjiop. They are
distributing their sandwiches in' Camden,
Kershaw and Sumter.
Storeroom formerly occupied by .1.
I,. Mrmnaugh is being remodeled and
in iwfew weeks will be occupied by
D. Kirschner who is operating several
other dry goods stores in the
state.
Did you know more than sixty-five
business houses have been built on
vacant property in Camden in the
last, twenty-five years. This does
not include those rebuilt after numerous
fires.
The fire department was called to
the residence of W. P. Thomas, corner
of Fair and Laurens streets,
on Thursday rmorning, where only a
slight damage was done by sparks
setting fire to the roof.
We hear of numbers of people looking
for houses to rent with scarcely
any available. While material and
labor are so cheap why not start a
building campaign and help <>u? the
unemployment situation. \\'v need
more houses.
Friends of Sheriff MeI.eod regret
to learn of the serious illness of his
father, Mr. T. II. McLeod. in the
Doby's mill section of West Wateree.
Mr. McLeod is quite aged and his
relatives and friends are anxious a
Ixiut his condition.
Friends throughout the city and
county of Mr. K. T. Mickle, prom
inent farmer and road builder of the
Longtown section, will regret to know
that he was carried to the Camden

Chief VV. F. Nettles, of the fire
department, requests us to state that
a nickel plated cap with two handles
belonging to 'the lire department was
lost at the polo stables Monday
night, and he requests the finder to
return' to the department or leave
at The Chronicle office.
City politics are certainly warming
up. Two new candidates threw their
hats iflto the ring today, both frY>m
Ward Three. Boys tell lis they are
being shown lots of attention, getting
rides down U+wp (they have been
walking), l?4.X or\Q-ee drinks (soft).
Keep up the good work. Somebody
must win.
More than one hundred and fifty
ladies register at the Rest Room upstairs
in the City Hall each week.
It is quite a convenience for the local
salesladies as well as our visitors
from the country. At this time the
! Rest Room needs such articles as
I towels, sheets, cover for lounge, mag{
azines and other articles.

Traffic on Federal route number
one is being detoured at DeKalb and
Mill streets on through the Wateree
mill village. The state highway
forces are at work surface-treating
a strip of road leading from a point
near the Hermitage cotton mill to
Shirley's store, covering the stretch
where the fatal accident occurred
Sunday afternoon.
The fire department was called to
the mill village Thursday night to
the five room residence of Mr. Alton
Hasty. The residence was too far
away from water connections and
wa> completely destroyed. It was
partially covered by .insurance. Mr.
and Mrs. Hasty were away from
home at the time and it is not known
how the fire originated.
Sneak thieves entered the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Dan M. Jones on
north Mill street extension one night
this week and stole from the
trousers of Mr. J ones, and at the
same time leaving with his overcoat.
Thieves also entered the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Withers Trotter in the early
morning hours and contented themselves
with stealing only edibles.
The fire department in its call to
the polo stables on Kirk-wood Heights
Tuesday night had the call confused
with the Kirkwood Stables, and had
some delay in hooking up with the
last hydrant <>n North Broad street.
However, their work was efficient after
they got into action, for they saved
ten of the twenty three stalls. The
pity is that one unfortunate pony met
death in the (lames. Large crowds
of Camden people as well as the
tourist colcny went up to witness the
rescue of th? ponies.

Annual Horse Show
To Be Held at Tryon
Tryon, N. C., Feb. 28.?The Seventh
Annual Horse Show of Tryon, North
Carolina, will be held this year on
April Oth. This is one of the outstanding
ahowa of the south and each
year gains greater popularity. In
Tryon's first horse show, held in
there were 41 horses entered in
12 clasae*. In ll>27, the number of
classes grew to 16. Each year following
brought an increased interest
in the show, attracting sportsmen
from far and near. 1031 marked the
most successful horse show ever held
here. There were 02 entries in 21
classes. Among the 3,000 spectators
were prominent people from all parts
of the country. To many of these,
coming from the shows of big cities,
it was incredible that a town of only
1,300 inhabitants could put on as fine
a show. The committee has received
the highest praise from the many
eminent judges who have visited the
Tryon shows, in regard to the management
and conduct of these shows.
Every event takes place with the precision
of clockwork, making of the
whole an exhibit of the greatest
smoothness and regularity.
An interesting feature of this show
is that, among the many horse shows j
throughout the country, no other,
with as many classes, holds its show
on but ono day. Added to this is
the fact that a hound show is held
in the morning and an hour's time
given up to the luncheon.
Among the# many prominent men
who have judged this sho^y in the
pa*t are: The late J. Gamer West,
of Garnersville, N. Y., Dean of Horse
Shows; Charles M. Hancher, of
Wheeling, W. Ya.; the late William
J. Sampson, of Youngstown, Ohio;
Omalley Knott, New York, who judged
the South Shore Show in Chicago; i
and Harry B. Thornton, Bradfords- j
mill, Ky., who judged the Brooklyn.
show last year. Judges for thifc ye&r i
will be announced later.
Advance reservations for boxes and
packing space may be made to
George A. Cathey, Blue Ridge Weavers.
Tryon, N. C.
Application for entry blanks and
other information regrading the show
may be obtained from C. J. Lynch,
secretary, Tryon Riding and Hunt
Club.
Death of Mr. Thompson
W. D. Thompson, aged 48, died at
his home in the Beaver Dam section
Tuesday evening, from a second
stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Thompson
is survived by his widow and several
children. He was for a long time an
employee of the Wateree cotton mill.
The funeral service was conducted at
Wateree Baptist church Wednesday
afternoon, and the burial was in the
Camden cemetery with Masonic honors.
The funeral services were in
charge of Rev. T. P. Christmas.

letter froih Congressman W. F. Stevenson,
in which the following announcement
is made:
"The George Washington Bicentennial
Commission informs me that they
