He Helped Bring Them Here
For ^ be past weeks or more
The Chronicle bus carried column after
column under the caption (By
vJohn W. Lyman). This New-Yorker
? canu- to Camden unannounced, but
during his short stay in Camden has
done wide publicity work for this
city that can never be measured in
dollars and cents. Not only did he
do local publicity work for The
Chronicle,, but he also had wide contact
with metropolitan newspapers
and garnered by a press-clipping bureau,
he exhibited to the editor of
this paper and other interested Camden
citizens, stack upon stack of news
stories of sporting events appearing
under a Camden date line. Hi*
stories were written in line style. He
knows newspaper men all over the
world and when it comes to getting
press stuff over he knows how. He
is a good mixer, making friends
readily.
If, as the press unanimously estimates,
the crowd here last Saturday
was a round ten thousand, it will
double next year, as this annual Carolina
Cup Steeplechase is destined to
grow into one of the greatest spoiling
events in America. Mr. Lyman
left Sunday afternoon to cover the
Atlantic City Horse Show, and also
left with the assurance to The Chronicle
that he would 1h> with us again
next year at the fourth annual running
of the Carolina Cup.

hard into central Alabama and then
swept into Georgia with diminished!
force leaving wreckage and scores of J
injured in its wake. High winds,
whipped through sections ofvLouisi-j
ana and Tennessee likewise with dam-,
aging effect.
By coincidence, the second tornado
followed the path of its predecessors,
closely in Alabama and the fatalities
were, near the communities where j
others died l^st week. Austin Lau- ,
rence, Walker Laurence, Perry Hicks
and Jano Green were killed at Lawloy

in automobile tops; smashed windows
and even killed livestock. There was |
a snow storn at Sparta, Tenn.
Nucha nan and Corinth near the
Alabama border were the hardest hit;
of the Georgia towns. Approximate- j
ly two score were injured and houses.
and outbuildings flung to the ground
by the twisting winds.
Wreckage and debris were whirled,
through the air and scattered over
the storm area.
Storm damage and injuries were
reported at Chattanooga, Tenn., and
Zwolle, La.
Last Monday, a series of tornadoes
skipped across five states killing 298
in Alabama, 10 in Georgia, 18 in.;
