M CAMDEN CHRONICLEi II. I). NILKS. . Editor and Publisher' Published ?very Friday at No. 1109 i Broad Street and entered at the Cam* ! *, den, South Carolina postotfice aa | ~tecond class mail matter. Price per annum $2.00, payable in advance. j *- ^ . _V _ ^ _ j Friday, October 7, 1932 SHOULD UK STOPPED Wo arc writing* fchi> purely for ' home consumption. j There i* a beautiful home at the, corner of Fair and Lauren* at root owned by a northern lady Whp,oc-j opfiiea ii only during the winter I ^Uumiths, and for the greater p?Vt of the yeai* i-k is untenanted and unpro- ! toe ted. ^Ti wright not he a ease for j extrauatHnaiV comment if thieves or Other 'denizens of the underworld should commit depredations in and about the property, but it is a matter of great concern to this community when young- people of some of the best families of the town should tramplo over the grounds, tear up the shrubbery, break out windows and demolish the fence about the placo. The owner' has been put t<> considerable trouble and expenso and she is, of course, annoyed over the situation. The acts committed were far boyond the realm of practical joking, and amounted to nothing less than vandalism?this too, by people old enough and of culture enough to know better. Situations like this are bound to give Camden a black eye. We hope that these young jH'ople have seen the error of their way and that the lady may not again be made sorry that she invested her money in Camden. TilK KERSHAW COUNTY FAIR In another column of this paper Is an account of a meeting held here this week in interest of the Kershaw County Fair to be held during the last ofvjhis month. It would seem that a lot of interest <has been aroused and that the event will go over with a bang. The management has secured a number of? first class attractions and if tl\e people over the coipHy will cooperate with their exhibits in all the different departments the fair will surely be a success. This paper is glad to take the occasion to say that the fair associa tion is purely a non-profit organization of public-spirited citizens working for the good of Kershaw county and we express the hope that the people throughout the county will for the time being forget tho depression, take a part in the fair, come to town, bring their families along, meet their friends, see what t'hey have done, and have a good timo generally. Bethunc is to have a community fair in that town immediately heforo the county fair. The good people up thefe never do things by halves. We are sure that their fair will Ik* h success and that the exhibitors there will bring their products to Camden for exhibition in the county fair. When the Southern Public Utilities company prepared to paint a big stsndpipe :it Anderson with aluminum paint, the citizens objected that it made the pipe too conspicuous for their aesthetic sensibilities, and black paint was substituted. Greenville Men On Good Will Tour Thirty-four business and professional men from Greenville, S. (*., arrived in Camden yesterday morning from Sumter on a good-will tour of the State. Prominent among the visitors were L. M. (iienn, secretary of the chamber of commerce; Col, Keith; R. W. Hudgins and l>r. W. NV. Daniel, of Clemson college. The visitors met and the court house and were welcomed by Mayor i Robert M. Kennedy, dr. The ladles of the American Legion Auxiliary served refreshments. The city was decorated with Rags in honor of the visitors. After friendly greetings^ they left for I^ancastor and on to Rock Mill for lunch and were scheduled tn urrive in Greenville Thursday night. OFFICIAL. CROOKEDNESS Thero are entirely too many abort! ages among the officials in South Carolina. The sheriff of Union and treasurer of Berkeley are the latest to defalcate for considerable sumg of money. It is said to be natural for an old man to exaggerate the virtues of the past and the faults of the present. Making due allowance for that, and there .is still abundant evidence that honesty is on the wane. The causes arc? numerous. A few of these are strictly modern. First and foremost is the automobile. That machine has slung more wrecks upon the beach of latter day business than even the World War. Another reason is that there is far rAore tampering with the cotton market than in | the old days. Trying to get something for nothing. There is a far lower grade of 1 honesty, economy, j and industry. Style without sub-j stance. Rotten law enforcement, and the election of known weaklings, easy virtue, to office. The country . is flv-blown with sordid principles. ( 1 Calhoun 'limes. ( . Editor Predicts Boom ' Cincinnati, O. Merle Thorpe, edi-.t tof of Nation's Business, expects the ! country to experience "the greatest j activity it has ever seen" when "the i two great wheels of American life, production and consumption, again ' s-lip jnto mesh." I "What an upturn that will be," he | told the convention of the manufacI turers' section, American Gas association, here. And, "if sentiment continues to improve, get ready for an upturn," he advised. The wants and | desires of 100,000,000 people have j been suppressed for three years." The last sixty days have shown a better feeling, Thorpe said and predicted this "will encourage people I again to take normal chances." A statewide organization has been ) formed in a strenuous effort to raise i 'the $15,000 quota of South Carolina : ! for the Democratic national committee and presidential campaign. State Senator R. M. Cooper, -Jr., is the state J director with three associates to help j him and- two directors for each con- i jrossional district and county. 1 he i i ones for this fifth district are Senator ; I W. M. Dun lap, of Rock Hill, anxl j j Congressman-elect J. P. Richards, of Lancaster. May Develop Market In Opera House Store city council mictintr he'd Tuesday afternoon were Miair Jane Ketchen and Mr. George A. Prince, extension murketing specialists of Winthrop and CHemson respectively, together with Miss Sadie Craig, home demonstration agent; H. D. Green, county agent and J. M. Martin, of Blaney. Discussion was made as to using the first Moor of the opera house for a community market, throwing it open to the women and men of the county for tike display of their produce. Members of the Club Market will also be invited to bring their goods there for sale. Council was very enthusiastic over the idea and a committee will immediately undertake to further develop plans. They are doing this& 'n an effort to co-operate with the farmers ofr the county and to help them And a market for their products. It seems that a wide open market three days each week for the wholesale and retail trade will probably suit Camden best. At this same meeting city council ordered the removal of all signs over , the city not fixed within the property limit, which should contribute greatly to the appearance of the streets of Camden. It was considered that this action would work no hardship on any individual because it will apply to all persons having them on the streets equally. The Next Governor. They've started the pot boiling for the governor's race two years from now, as if the people did not have enough state and county politico for a long time. Already the names of Olin IV Johnson, Cole L. Blease and Mountain Lion Sloan are being whispered through the papers and around the corners. What a time that will be with these three in the race, and with a few other popular prospects! ?Greer Citizen. General News Notes The entire Democratic state executi\'$?committee will meet at 11 o clock the morning of October 10 to hear tho protest of Andy R. Ross against the Te-clcction of Sheriff John R. Craig of Pickens county, it having been discovered that the law prevents delegating the decision of a subcommittee as planned. Ross asked a third primary because he says, a 17-year-old girYknd some visitors from two adjoining counties and the state of North Carolina cast ballots for Craig, who won by 40 votes on the recount, by the county committee. In one box were 11 more ballots than names on the poll book and in another box 2X more ballots than names of those who voted, the petition alleges. The courthouse at Charleston was closed Monday afternoon during the funeral of Horatio Mitchell, for 30 years master in equity of thaL county, who died suddenly at Folly Beach. He was 71 years old and one of the oldest alumni of the College of Charleston whore he graduated .in 1X7 1 at the head of his class. He was renominated in August for the office he had held so long. ~ Tho Secret Six is trying to organize "The Men of the Hour" in Columbia to cope with certain conditions there that need the work of citizens outside the office holders. Just what it is all about is unknown. Invitations to join were sent many prominent citizens and merchants by A. D. T. messenger boys, all at once, but nothing definite was disclosed, and reporters were unable to discover who sent the letters and placards out.

Franklin IV Roosevelt a.klresses a crowd of 10,000 in a hall at Milwaukee on Friday, and there were estimated to be 20,000 outside the hall listening in on the amplifiers. Benjamin C.

He is still able to read the newspapers without glasses. 80MK MATHEMATICIAN I It is quite possible that South Carolina has had governors who were equal to the statesmanship of I. G. Blackwood, but we dare say that none ever approached within miles of our present executive's ability as a mathematician. For instance: Governor Blackwood is applying to tlie Reconstruction Finance Corporation for a loan of live million dollars, but he assures the people that this will not increase the debt of the state. Evidently Mr. Blackwood still be- ' lieves that Santa-dauB, and not Un- j elo Sam, resides in Washington. If this stato is to secure a loan of five thousand or live million dollars, it ( will be just exactly that much further ( in debt. ( Tho governor probably means to 1 say that he has some sort of plan figured out to handle tho repayment of tho loan. It is possible that he plans to sell (if buyers can be found) some additional highway bonds, but this will simply mean increasing the ( bonded indebtedness of the state in order to pay up the loan be hopes , to secure. Regardless of the method proposed to repay the five million dollar/a, South Carolina will be just that amourrt deeper in debt the minute tho ] loan is successfully negotiated. Mr. Blackwood's mathematics in this instance reflects the same statesmanship he exhibited when he tried to raise the price of cotton by calling an extra session of the legislature!? Anderson Independent. Autie WillougWby, a middle aged woman is in jail at Conway, after telling the sheriff how sho killed Tillman Martin, a middle aged man, with a shotgun. She says Martin came to < the Willoughby home, where she lived with her aged father, on a drunken rampage, shot at her, threatened to cut her father's throat, and to kill the whole family, and she got a gun ami shot him. Sho went from Hinson Bay to the county scat barefoot. This is the last of a long list of homicides this year in Horry county, and the second within a week in the same township. The father corroborated the story of his daughter about the circumstances of the killing of Martin. -i NOTICE OF SALE ~ Sheriff's Sale of Contraband Goods Forfeited Under Section 885 of Volume 2, Code of Ij?wh 1922.
