Our fame as a winter resort and playground is Hp reading far and wide and all indications point to the fact that ( amden will see the largest crowd here tomorrow in the Imlorj of the town. The Carolina Cup steeplechase event is unique in America due to the fact that it is a free entertainment. No entry fee is charged and no admission'fee.

Lancaster cottoh mills withdrew about five hundred bales ibis week from local wnrehouses. Camden police have a record of picking up quite a number of varied criminals. Being a central point for many roads radiating in all directions it is hard for them to get by Camden. Added to the list this week were c$r thieves, rum-runners and the newest --two white women shop lifters." Mayor Thanks Citizens To the Citizens of Camden: 1 take this means of expressing to the voters my keen appreciation for my election as Mayor without opposition.! More especially do I want to thank ' the citizens of Camden for their cooperation and indulgence during my two years as Mayor, and to express to the members of Council and to the city employees my obligation to them fur their hearty loyalty and help in the many trying situations confronting us during these vexatious times. The next two years will he equally as difficult for the administration and I beg your, continued indulgence in our efforts to do the best we can for . our beloved old town. Respectfully, K. M. K ! :NN KI>Y. JR. ?- " Hack in 1KX7 a worker in the IJ. S. mint gave S. C. Carpenter, Bloomington. I ml., a silver dollar. Carpenter put it away as a keepsake and years afterward gave it to his son, who in turn presented it to his niece, who still has it. Had Carpenter put this dollar in a savings bank when he received it, it would now have earned SjbftMP at G per cent compound interest. A good demonstration of the accumulating power of money. 'lime To Wake Up It is time for the people and politicians to wake up to facts. Kairplay is all the railroads ask. Arc they getting it? Any intelligent man knows they are not, They maintain their roads at enormous expense. The buses and public trucks use your and my roads practically free. The railroads arc regulated by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The trucks are not. Why not? Is it equity? The railroads pay heavy local taxes. The trucks none. Not a dollar do the latter drop into your town and county tax coffers. When ttie railroads are gone your lands and homes will be pulled to balance these heavy, railroad taxes. Without a change, the call will come. Can you meet it? If not, you would better let your state and United States lawmakers know how you feel.?Calhoun Times.

Joe Harrison, Camden's colored boxing promoter, will put on a good schedule at the Kershaw Guards Armory, either April 4th or 6th, with "Wi.dcat" Reddish, the' Camden lightheavy weight, and the hard-hitting Jack Cunningham, of Thomasville, N. C. The bout is for tpn rounds and both boys are anxious to emerge with a victory us they will be boxing be* fore 125 to lf>0 employees ot Ine Standard Oil Company, who will be nt The Kirkwood in convention at the time. Several of the heads of the great John !>. Rockefeller corporation from New York will bo on hand to see "The Wild Cat" and Jack do their stuff in leather slinging. ' . e ? Cunningham became a great lavorite in Camden recently by givmtf TTigerM Henderson a trimming, lhe bout was called a draw, but it looked to the boys and givls about the ring side that Jack hat! really the better of the milling, especially jn the last rounds. Reddish turned a line performance a few weeks ago and should be on edge for the settoo with the Tarheel boxer. Both are hard hitters, Cunningham being at his best where he can rip those short hooks into an opponent's mid-section. Reddish is a two-handed fighter, dangerous at any stage of the game. With both in the best condition they should put up a fast, hard battle. In the other bouts Pornell Foster, of Lancaster, will swap right crosses and hook with Tuffy Lawson, Reddish's sparring partner. Tljey will go six rounds?maybe. Wa.dell Hun, lop, also of Lancaster, and Curtis Stover, of Camden, will try to annihilate each other before four rounds are over, while two midget youngsters will exchange slaps and harsh looks during three rounds of two-minute ! milling.
