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. (

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!

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

nothing definite was disclosed, and reporters
were unable to discover who
sent the letters and placards out.

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!?

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.
