THEJCAMDEN CHRONICLE H. D. NILKS. .Editor and Pa blither Published every Friday at No. 1100 Broad Street and entered at the Camden, South Carolina poatoflfice ** second class mail matter. Price per annum 12.00, payable in adv*r.90. Friday, AuruhI 12, 1032 In another column we carry the announcement by Judge Mendel L. Smith of his withdrawal from the legislative race. Those closest to % Judge Smith have known that his continuance in the race was predicated on a continued improvement in I his physical condition. It appeared a few weeks ago that he'>was well on the way to a full recover^Vbut a set-back occurred late last week and ? his physicians promptly put their seal of disapproval on his going into the campaign; in fact, they declared that it would be almost suicidal for him to do so at this time. Following closely the reglmbn they have set for him and abstaining from any labors, of a strenuous nature for some time, tho doctors feel that ho will continue his recovery and before very long be his old self again; but it wus necessary that ho relax for tho time being, h e n c e the announcement. Knowledge that Judge Smith will not represent Korshaw county in the next session of the General Assembly will be met with genuine regret by the patriotic citizens all over Kershaw county and South "Carolina. Men lijciv hi;n are needed at this time as never before. Hon. T. Yuncoy Williams, of Lancaster, a former representative from that county in years gone by, has been prevailed upon to enter- the race from Lancaster county again and has made his announcement in which he uses these- words, "To tax the people beyond their capacity to pay is to destroy them." We are betting on | Williams being a winner. Recalls Famous Murder. # The death of Caleb Power" in a Hal [ timore hospital recalls an ugly inci-i dent 32 years ago in the history of Kentucky, his native state. The assassination of Governor William C?oebol, Democrat, as he approached the ( state cap.itol, shocked the- nation and Powers was charged with having been a ring leader in the conspiracy. He was tried four times on an indictment for murder and at last sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary, where he served eight years until pardoned by a Republican governor. Upon his release Powers ran for Congress and was elected in a Republican district and held the office four years. Kentucky has had many notorious feuds and some serious labor troubles, but the assassination . nf Gaelic!, the march of h thousand Re" puhlicu&t mountaineers on 1'ianktort and the tin moil that followed each trial of the conspirators made pages of the state's most exciting history. -Spartanburg I let aid. The Newspaper's Harden. Campaign years are hard on newspaper men. Not only must they give the public the news, but they must keep the scales evenly balanced. Men know the power of publicity and devious methods are used to secure it. An innocent looking communication may be loaded with dynamite, or a Nvord or phrase delicately woven in? "to the woof and warp of an article may start the tide of public sentiment flowing one way or the other Even in normal times the wellregulated newspaper must have a hundred oye'S* but in campaign years the number must be multiplied by a hundredfold.?-Dillon Herald.
