Curmlon >s getting quite a l<?t <?f
publicity those lust few weeks
throughout th*' north and o#?t as well
J*s neighboring states due to the various
sporting events. 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.
It is put on by well-known
h|?oi ! men who love tno racing game
and it is not put on for piofit.
Movement of cotton through Camden
'has been noticeably heavy of
late. 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

Fruit and Truck Badly Damaged.
Columbia. March 10?Making a
belated thrust, King Winter still j
held his icv hand over South Carolina
today, dragging the thermometer
down below the 20-degree mark in
several sections and causing heavy
damage to fruit and truck crops.
Practically all the early truck
crops in the Charleston area were
reported destroyed last night when
the first freezing weather of the
season in that section was experienced.
-ii
Fear was expressed at Greenville
that the large peach crops in that
district had been seriously damaged^
if not totally destroyed. The temperature
at Greenville early today dropped
to 17 degrees.
Although the weather continued
cold, it was not expected to be as
severe tonight as last night. A read-,
ing of 82 degrees was predicted for j
Columbia where the mercury last j
night dropped to 19.1 degrees.
The U. S. weather bureau forecast,
for tomorrow was slightly warmer |
\>n the coast. Saturday cloudy, profcu,
ably followed by rains Sunday afternoon.
In commenting on the frost damage
at Charleston, C. W. Carraway,
the county farm agent, said the loss
included considerable quantities . of
Knglish peas, which were to he shipped
this week. Other truck crops suffered
varying degrees of damage
from the 28-degree temperature prevailing
early today.
Approximately a third of the
peach trees in the Greenville vicinity
had been in full bloom for several
days. It was believed all these were
killed.

Reddish To Fight
Jack Cunningham
' Camden, 8. Cu March 25th. 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.
