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.

afternoon on the road from Bethune
to Kershaw, when the truck ho j

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

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.

Tornado Damages
Cheraw Section
Cheraw, S. 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. _? ?

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.
