No sooner did Troublemaker hit the earth than Laing sped him on from the landing place Into a dead heat for the finish line. J.t was all there was left to do, as Primero was still gaining every second. Troublemaker finished no more than a length a heart, but it won for him the greatest race ever run for The Carolina Cup. Governor Presents Cup to Mrs. Somerville No sooner had the horses finished and were on the way to the paddock than a great crowd began surging about the horses and riders. There were Aplenty of cheers-for all three horses and the riders. A few minutes later the Fox Movietone machine a was set up v near the winnings^post and was sU) 0^ presented t o Mrs. SomerV V Governor wood. He was ^W (tanked o n i / both sides by ^ oSu^AC?V ^own gentlemen, including Ernest L. ^Voodward, Harry I). Kirkover. S. Skiddy von Stade and that . grand old man of the steeplechase, j Thomas Hitchcock, Sr. In presentj ing the cup to owner of the winner, j Governor Blackwood said, "No greater honor could have come to a South Carolinian than to stand on this historic race course and present this cup to the owner of the winning horse, Troublemaker. This day he has entered the Hall of Fame." Last year the Carolina Cup was won by that great son of Man 'O War, Sea Soldier, the only American bred horse to finish in the Grand National in England,'the week before. By those who buijt the Springdale track and those who have endeavored to make. The Carolina Cup Meet one of the classics of the American steeplechase meets is the hope that ; at some future date to produce a j horse that will take the-English race. Tereus 1'akes The Springdale The first-race of the meet \vas the -Springdale Steeplechase, tv^o miles over brush. By the time the horses were called to the post the crowd had reached many thousands. There were long lines of autos?in many places three deep all along the west side of the course. All roads leading to the track, far as the eye could see. the string was. increasing all the time, and by the time Sam Russell j dropped the flag for the first race, the line had completely embarked the south end of the field. Never in the history of Camden had such a string of autos pa'ssed through the streets, which gives evidence that the horSo still'reigns king in the world events of sport. Tereus, also owned by Mrs. Somerville, ruled the favorite. The great race put up by the French horse a few weeks before, and his first race over brush, had caused him to rule. In this race Tereus was in his best form. He was ready to put up the race of his life. Laing knew that Tereus was ready?the distance suiting him to perfection. With clear, embracing sunshine the horses started out at a fast pace from the start. Tereus and Peacock, Carroll Bassett's entry, started out together to set the pace. War Mist followed by Kakimona, kept up well with the leaders. All entries kept well in touch with each other, and while in the lead Peacock failed to clear one of the fences. He tossed his rider over his head. That put him out of the race. It was hard luck for the popular Summit lad, who took it all with good sportsmanship, saying: "It's all in the game." - With Peacock out, Tereus sned alone at wirminw kw f*.;?-*one hundred yards. Kakimona was second, and Peacock came in a bad third. Tereus looks like a coming brush horse. He has been trained to the minute. He may be a little slow in picking up after making the jumps, but once in his stride he is likely to overtake any horse in the country on the flat. Today, in spite of the fact that Troublemaker is a fine timber 1 horse, Tereus i* the prize of the staj ble. Netta Run Takes Added Event I Netta Run took the special event? 1 The Kershaw?two miles over brush. This race was full of 4hrills. With King Oxford and Mobl^w out in front, for a time it looked as if thei;e would be a collection of wr^B^inehed horses. Then came a thufj^^>ne of the first fences. It was King Oxford down?heavily throwing his rider, Stuart Rose. When Rose had arisen it was seen that his face had been badly bruised. The ambulance was ailed, but the plucky rider had gotten up and walked to the paddock unissisted. Other horses dropped out -llong the way side, leaving Netta Run and Kvber Pass to fight it out. "n the end Netta Run had just a little too much speed at the finish to be overtaken. Kyber Pass was second md Noel Laing's Fairy Lore, third. Boetick Wins Pur Mr a. Redmond Theymeet closed with the running if the Camden Plate, a flat race, aix wrlongs. a home unheard of, owned by Mr*. Garaldyn Redmond, and ridden by O. H. Boatwick, James B. Munn Kills 0. L. Holley An unfortunate tragedy involving two widely connected families of the northwestern section of the county occurred late Saturday afternoon when 0. L. Holley*was shot and instantly killed by James B. Munn. The shooting occurred in the public road not far from Mt, Pisgah church and is sjaid to have been caused by a dispute over a sum of money owed .to a son of Mr. Munn, who conducts a grocery and filling station in that section. ' , Both men were in cars when the shooting occurred. It is said Holley stopped his car beside that of Munn and after a few words the shooting commenced?Munn firing four shots, three taking effect?one in the left jaw, the second near the left armpit and one near the heart, going through the body and?coming out under the right arm. Dr. L. T. Gregory of Kershaw said the shot i near his heart was tho one which j proved fatal.* j Seated in the car with Holley at 'the time of the shooting was Roscoe Boone. Found near the scene of the : shooting was a single-barrelled shot gun said to have been the property ! of Holley. j A coroner's inquest was held about 11 o'clock Saturday night conducted by Coroner G. R. Clements and the verdict of the jury was that "O. L. Holley came to his death by a gunshot wound in the hands of Jim ; afqpri." Very few were questioned at the .iUtjhcst and litUe information was obtained. Those who know anything about it are not talking. Mr. Munn came to Camden late Saturday evening and surrendered to couhty authorities and is being held in the county jail pending applica! tion for bail, which Was made before | Judge Sease in Columbia Thursday. | He has employed M. M. Johnson, of ! Camden, and Claude N.^ Sapp, of Columbia, to represent him. Former | Judge Mendel L. Smith, of Camden^ has been employed by relatives vi the dead man to assist Solicitor Spigner in the prosecution. Owing to the wide family connection of both imrtieo involved, it will bring spectatorsand witnesses from all sections i of the county when the case comes to trial. . 1. Mr. Munn is a farmer, 66 years old, land thl? father of several children. T Mr. Holley was 22 years old and married hut leaves no children. Mr Munn was commissioned as a .^la' constable under former Governor Thos. G. McLeod and also served Cue four-year term under Governor John G. Richards. He also served one term as a member of the house of representatives of Kershaw counGranted Bail Just as The Chronicle was going to press we learned that Mr. Munn was granted baij by -.Judge Sease in the sum of &,0??. L^s, of Camden; E. B. Kirtg and D. T.Yarborough, of Bethune, and H. L. Munn, I brother of \J. B. Munn. of Camden, 'signed the bond and Mr. Munn was released from custody yesterday af; ternoon. ;*hot home the winner in remarkable fast time of 1.15. Pete had his mount well out in front from the start and on the turn had the grey gelding headed home in easy fashion. J. Bowes Bond's Gunther came in secjond, and War Mist, of the Dorwood Stables, coming in for third place. Crowd Proves Racing Not Dead Issue I The great crowd that gathered at ! Camden last Saturday proved that 1 racing in The Carolines is by no ' means a dead issue. As one old timer put it: "Not since the days of ' the cavalry clash between Lord Corn! wallis and General Green, at the bat| tie of Camden, was there ever such a great parade of horses." No doubt ' he was right. Certainly the vast i crowd turned out to pay its respect I to man's best friend?the horse. For ! tv.? rr.cr., ana otner people of the city of Camden, the : meet was hailed with delight. The i Kkkwood. The Hobkirk Inn, The Court Inn and the down-town commercial hotels were crowded. From a publicity standpoint it was also j worth while. Surely, everybody knew j that Camden, South Carolina, opened the steeplechase season in a manner to be proud of.

News was received in Camden l?Ht week of the death t>f Mrs. I. deL. Brayshaw, which occurred in New Bern, N. C., and the announcement brought sorrow to many.

The husband got the car and $10 from.his wife, presumably to get gas and continue the journey, but instead he headed hack towards Florida.
