"Wildcat" Reddish
Meets Defeat
Jack Cunningham, 185-pound colored
boxer of Thomasville, N. C., won
a decisive victory over "Wildcat"
faddish here Monday night in two
rounds. The bout was a short one,
hut the fighters put up as ferocious
a battle as was ever witnessed in
Camden.
Whether or not Reddish was trying
to establish an alibi, the report gained
momentum that he was sick before
the battle. But the general opinion
was that he was entirely outclassed.
He was twice floored by Cunningham
and near the end of the second round
took the count of eight before he
. could get in his corner.
During the rest period Reddish's
manager put some white ointment on
the fighter's left eye, which looked
like a flag of truce. Anyway, when
the gong sounded Reddish signaled
"enough", and failed to rise for the
third round. Cunningham was awarded
the decision, which met unanimous
approval. In the first round Reddish,
however, accomplished a feat never
r
seen here befor^r He knocked his
weighty rival clear over his shoulders,
Cunninghurn falling to the floor
heavily, hut immediately regaining
his feet, the battle continued.
The bout was arranged as a part
of an entertain merit program for the
| one hundred and twenty-live Stand[
ard Oil men in a three-day session
here this week, and the \i>itors, as
well as the large number of towns
people enjoyed every minute of the
main bout and the several preliminaries.
The first preliminary was a bout
between Dynamite Foster, of I^ancaster,
and Tuffy Lawson, of Camden.
This also was a hard-fought battle
until the third round when Foster
! was knocked out by Lawson.
The second ' preliminary was between
Jack Johnson, of Lancaster,
j and Augustus Mutt, of Camden. Mutt
also went down in the third .round by
a knockout blow from Johnson.
Fights by smaller lads were enjoyed
before the preliminaries, their compensation
being coins thrown in the
ring by spectators.
Joe Harrison, the promoter, tried
to put over an innovation, which went
well for two "pounds". A quartette
of good singers rendered two songs
in a most pleasing manner. They
responded to an enchore and were beginning
the third number when a
ringside spectator, whether from a
sense of humor, or whether he had
enough singing, or maybe he wanted
to see how the dressed-up song-birds
would net. Anyway it brought down
the house .when ^the unknown spectator
tossed a half dollar into the
ring. It was more than the songsters
could stand and they, like the
smaller urchins, made a spontaneous
dive for the coin. It brought the |
singing to a close amid a roar of
laughter from the whole audience.

TOWN TOPICS
"How to br? guest of your own
party" might bo a .*log*n for all t*e
busy people who lot tbo brtvn Gable
t Coffee House give their parties for
! them. Many of Camden's social
I fairs art1 held there, bee a u so of the
attractive atmosphere and the deli-1
cious food found there.
Whether it's a two-some for two
pld cronies who like to have an evening
together, or a banquet, or a card
party,, or a family gathering, you wiU
find the same excellent service and
good things to eat.
Milk-fed broilers, all kinds of salads,
orange-bread sandwiches, are
among their specialities.
.
If you're having company to tea,
however, you will have to hustle
around and fix things up kind o nice.
People like candles on the table,
and ftpwers of course.
And if you want your meal to be
remembered forever ami ever, pick
oub two of your biggest, prettiest
bowls and put at the hostess end of
thdx table. .
. Fill one with weak tea, sweetened
and full of lemon or orange .juice and
sliced fruit; fill the other with great
heaping piles of cracked ice.
Take a iHdle and fill tall glasses
full of the icet then ladle out the
fruit-tea mixture over the ice.
The rest of the meal can be sawdust
an lad and blotting paper sandwiches
for all the difference jit makes.
And if you wunt a plentiful supply
of good, clear, pure ice, let The Camden
Ice Company have their wagon
stop by regularly?or call them for
an emergency Order.

People get along on much lighter
food, now that spring is here.
And where they used to submit to
I a dose of sulphur and molasses, now
they turn to vegetables and fruits
for their spring tonic.
' Only you can't feed the dog on
salads?and making up cooked food ,
for that most faithful of companions
is a nuisance in hot weather.
That is the time to get the readycooked
food put up by the Gaines
Food Company?that requires only
the addition of water to make it
edible.
This food contains beef, beets,
meal, wheat, rice, soy beans, milk and
malt syrup. It is taking the country
by storm?although it has been on
the market only a year. Dogs thrive
and grow on it, and are aC their best
wbon fed on it. ?.'\A . 1

People's eyes are turned toward <
outdoors from now on.
All the public parks and empty lots
are full of shouting youngsters, and
balls, bats and other, base-ball paraphernalia
are in demand. '
Nothing is prettier than tennis, as
a game, and now that they make the i
scarlet balls it is more attractive than (
ever. Everybody likes to see the
courts filled with white figures. (
Spring brings people out like it i

All that is necessary for ball 1
games, tennis tournaments, camping 1
and picnicking parties, will be found ;
at the Mackey Hardware Company. ,
And since Mother has to wait till ^

Government Seed
Money Sent Here
Covj-rmg ? period from March 17
t-? April 5 a total of 6l>0 government
(hocks has been received at the of|
fice of Clor.k of Court James It. Clyburn.
The total amount in dollars
distributed to farmers of this county
has been $7J,262.50.
The handling of this large volume
of checks has necessitated a great
I deal of extra work by the. clerk and
his assistants. The checks and mortgages
come in packages ranging from
one to sometimes as" high as forty?
but the clerk manages to speed up
his work so that checks are mailed
out same day received.
There will be more to come and
all will be handled in the same fast
manner. Th? mortgages have to be
checked and recorded and the one to
whom the" checks are addressed receives
them in the same franked government
envelopes.
The amount of the loans range
from $50 to $400. So far no complaint
has been heard of borrowers
using this money for other purposes
than seed and fertilizer, and Kershaw
county last season had a high percentage
of those counties repaying
the loan.
R. (J. Carson, field agent for the
government, is in Kershaw county to
see that all money borrowed from
the government is used properly.
Died in St. Louis
The body of James L. Dibble, a
former colored citizen of Camden,
who died suddenly in St. Louis, Mo.,
on March 26, was brought here for
burial on Thursday last. funeral
services were held at Collins' mortuary
and the burial was in the colored
cemetery here. He was 73 years
of age.
Dibble left here thirty-six years
ago to make his home in the west.
He was engaged for many years as
a janitor jp a girls' college in St.
Louis. Of late years he had held a
position in a municipal building in
that city, and by thrift and close attention
to his work had accumulated
tjuite a lot of wealth in property and
:ash. He was found dead in bed.
He is survived by four brothers:
E. H. Dibble, R. D. Dibble, of CamJen;
Wyatt Dibble, of Wilson, N. C.;
and Andrew Dibble, of Chester, S. C.
Dibble was well liked by both races.
He had made frequent visits to CamJen
and is well remembered by our
alder people. We are told that found
among his belongings were recommendations
given him as to his character
and trustworthiness by prominent
Camden men and he always
lived up to these recommendations.
Short tributes were paid his memory
at the funeral by Rev. B. F. Bradford,
Rev. R. F. Harrington and Rev.
J. W. Boykin.

It's interesting to note how eager
m'bie of our citizens seem to be in
jdtting to a fire ahead of the truck
and firemen. There is a City Ordinance
covering this nuisance which
;hould be enforced. The firemen are
landicapped in reaching the scene and
after they arrive it's often difficult
ror theni to even reach the Hydrant.
There are a great many cities in
:he South that would give loads of
money for the things Camden just
rets handed to her. We had thousands
of visitors these last few weeks.
This week more than one hundred and
wenty-five officials of the Standard
Dil company from North and South
Carolina.
These warm spring days make us
feel like summer is very near and
lur thoughts turn to base ball, fishng,
etc. Speaking of fishing, some
.ime ago in a certain city near Lake
Murray a tourist passing through noticed
fishing poles hung on almost
very car he passed and he wanted
0 know if that community had a
aw requiring motorists to carry fish.
