PLAN YOUR EXHIBITS NOW FOR KERSHAW COUNTY'S GREATEST FAIR IN OCTOBER The Camden Chronicle VOLUME 44. CAMDEN. SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1932 NUMBER 27 Camden Winner in a Close Game (Tommy Hedgpath in Chester Heporter) by the triple-threat star, Thompson, the much vaunted Cam^en eleven presented smooth workjag machine, a team well-drilled on iifi*ls, beating Cheater 6 to 0 before i big cro.wd at the fair grounds last jyjday. The punting as a who'Je was not up to par, but the kicks from Thompson's, too in the early stages kept the ball deep in the loeal'p> territory, and it was on one of these occasions that the consistent Bulldog forwards \v<*re on their toes and Sanders, an end, pounced, upon a fumble on Chester's 16-yard line. Thompson bored the center of the line for 5 yar<te, then Grant and Corn-well mieared Thompson behind the line for i 4-yard loss. But with a burst of speed Thompson shot around his left end for 14 yards and a touchdown. Thompson's kick was blocked. Kennedy proved his worth in the line for Camden and Haynes was good in the backfield. The Cyclones forced the agate into the Bulldogs' territory most of the time and on three occasions were inside their 20-yard line, but failed to mete "out these advantages from strategic points. The end of the first half halted a 50-yard march on Camden's 22-yard line. It's no easy job to sort out the stars from the Cyclone ranks, since eftry player showed spurts of creditable performance. But many times fa noticeable lapse seemed to catcb I the locals when in possession of the (ball. The visitors excelled in having j their signals down pat, and a "hipper! dipper" shift with triple passes was ! baffling. ^ ^ Lee and Hopper lugged the ball on -leveral good runs. -Lee was on the flipping end of an air voyage, Hopper snagging several pretty ones, while Fennel 1 pulled down one with a jce catch. Morrison turned in a japping display of blocking. In the line Hanna was a whale on the defense and an offensive mastodon akng with the slashing, playing of Gregory, Cornwell and Grant. Gladden covered the pivot position in A-l fashion.

DeLoache, employed by the Camden Furniture Company, suffered a broken left arm Wednesday afternoon on the road from Bethune to Kershaw, when the truck ho j was driving turned over. Mr. DeLoache, accompanied by a [ Mr. Munn, was hauling a truck load of furniture. The truck was ascend-, ing a hill when the rain falling caus-) ed the road to be slippery and the j truck going pt a slow speed went into i a ditch. Mr. DeLoache's left arm was pinned under the truck and he ' had to lay in that position for several minutes while his companion went for help to release him. Hd j was carried to Betbune where the in- j jured member was set by Dr. E. Z. j Truesdale and he is now at his home in Camden. Neither of the two. men suffered any other injuries in the ac- ' cident.

H. ^ Johnson and Willis Ryan for a deer ; drive. Rain began falling in the afternoon and the party got thoroughly drench- ' ed, but they stuck to their stands and were rewarded by two kills. Mr. T. K. Trotter got the first, a buck weighing about 160 pounds, as he attempted to bound across a railroad track. Mr. Willis Ryan brought ] down the. second bock, a much small- ^ er one, a short while later. ( It being Mr. Trotter's first kill, the party let him off without the custom- ^ ary rites, generally bestowed on the ^ TucJcy one. r- j j James Bailey, a convict serving a ] life term for murder in Lancaster 1 county, escaped from the penitentiary at Columbia and was captured within three hours. He slipped out of line ? going to dinner, and another convict * "who saw 1dm"gave the alarm. Prison j officers overtook hrm at Dixiana, ai few miles out of the capital city.

"S ; Fast Polo Game Played Sunday In the fustest and most exciting game yet played by the Old Oamden Polo club the Blue team evened its series standing with the Whites by taking Sunday afternoon's game by a score of 8 to 7.' There wafc no letdown in the whirlwind play from start to finish and so closely matched were the two teams that at no time did either have.more than a 2 point margin over the other. Ancrum Boykin, Jr., played an unusually good game for the Blues accounting for three of their goals. Charlie Little was, as usual, the mainstay of the Whites. The members of the Old Camden Polo club have just reason to be proud of the prpgress being made by them in the pursuit of this entrancing game. The fact that in Sunday's game fifteen goals were scored in six periods is good evidence of the class of play now being demonstrated, and the participation of eleven players is good evidence of the interest many young horsemen of this section Are taking in the game.

Mr. Clements Corrects Us Editor of Chronicle?In my own behalf?and I believe in accord with.the wishes 'of other candidates in the) primaries?I wish to thank the Chron- j icle andjthe other ^WQLilounty papersfor the courtesies shown us during, the campaign, and at the same time , to explain some things which might not be clear to the reading public. J In your columns it was stated that "Mr. Rush early developed a.lead) which was increased by every report. . The 'tabulations show that T lead in . at least six boxes. And in justice to the good people of the Swift Creek section, where I did not get a vote, I wish to say that I did not visit every j section of the county, that 'being one , of the places?and that if any one' from that box promised to vote for j me, I do not recall it. "And on the; other hand," T feel sure th'at had ! "more than one" of the 65 Liberty Hill voters promised to vote lor Mr. j Rush they surely would have done so. I do not write this in a captious or faultfinding spirit but merely to place the matter in a little different light before your readers, which I feel will give them a more definite idea of my view point of the matter. Again thanking you for kindness shown, I am, Very respectfully yours, G. R. Clements. Choir To Sing at Mt.

A large and interested crowd gathered at that time. The officers and different committees made reports of progress and much enthusiasm prevailed.

O., Oct. 5.?Two persona. were killed, several were injured and severe damage was done by a windstorm of tornadic proportions which struck sections of Chesterfield, Darlington and Marlboro counties today. Tho dead: Bobbie Blalock, fiveyear-old son of Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Blalock, of Kimberly, Chesterfield county, three miles from Cheraw. A negro woman at Patrick, Chesterfield county, whose name could not immediately bo learned. Mrs. Blalock and two of her children, Frank, 12, Mollie, eight, were injured. Mrs. Blalock was severely. hurt'TJut tho extent of her injuries had not been determined at a Bonnettsvillo hospital. The children were taken to a neighbor's. Although their hurts were described as serious, they are expected to recover. Several other persons wero reported to hnvo been injured at Patrick, whoro the negro woman was killed, and eleswhere in Chesterfield county. Several homes woro unroofed', trees were uprooted and burns blown over. Several road? were blocked by fallen trees. The storm, which struck this section about dark, went into Marlboro county but damage there had1 not been determined. A farmer named Purnage wus injured near here and two negroes living on the Calhoun highway were hurt. The storm originated in Darlington county but apparently did , most of its damage in Chesterfield county. The Blalock home was destroyed by the storm. Blalock, who was away at the time, is manager of tho farm of Dr. J. E. Funder.1burke, and is a brother <ff U. B. Blalock, of foa leigh, NT C., president of the American Cotton Cooperative association. Little Bobbin's body was found in the dairy of the home, some time ^after tho storm had wreaked its damage. One of his older brothers had left home a short time before to visit relatives at Norwood, N. C. > Communications were crippled temporarily by tho storm and estimates of crop damage were unavailable. Farm IWsplay at the County Fair While we are anxious to have as many farm displays at the. county fair as possible this year at the same time it is important that no booth be left unfilled. Therefore, it is requested that all. who contemplate making a farm display at the fair notify one of the officers of the fair not later than the latter pant of this week as all remaining booths not so taken by the first of next week will be sold for commercial display purposes, advises Henry D. Green, the county agent. _? ? fj 1 " 1 Castaway Here Carried To Gaffney Gaffney, Oct. 4.?Dozens of people called today at the Homer Moore home on railroad aveirue to see the baby girl left on the Moore's front porch in a bread basket last night. The child, apparently about six weeks old and nicely dressed, smiled and cooed while Mts. Moore related how ' she had been found as a oar reported to have contained three women drove rapidly away from the home. Several nertnno have offered U/ nuupl the baby but the Moore's arc keeping the little girl for a time, at least, pending developments. No trace has yet been found of the persons who deserted the baby. The above dispatch appearing in the daily pres of Wednesday has a local end to It. It iff SffTJ three women appeared at the Camden hospital, made themselves known and told hospital authorities that they had found a good home fo rthe child left at the hospital door here a week or more ago. They are said to have been identified and vouched for by a Camden man. Tho next heard of tho child was when it was found on a Gaffney doorstep and was identified by having a Carmden hospital blanket among Its wearing apparel. Parties findiug Ihe chjld 'phoned the hospital here and its description tallied with the tiny baby taJcen only a day or so ago from this institution. The affair seems to have somewhat of a mystery attached to it. Orangeburg has built * long hitch rack and large watering trough in Main street for the use of peopie coming to town in horse drawn vehicles, the number of which there has increased so much as to create the need for the oldttrae facilltiee for country people coming to town. q #
