Played Here To-day | The Camden high ^fiftool football team will play the Bishopville high school here on Zenvp Field! this afternoon. This game is the final of the District Championship, and both teams enter the game untied or defeated this season. Bishopville has a fast set of players and is out to win its first district championship. The Camden team, under Coach John Villepigue, has been one of the outstanding teams in South Carolina for the. past five or six years and is determined to fight from the kickoff to the flpal gun. After winning the state championship lait season, Camden lpst nearly every regular but Thompson, who is captain of the team this season. Several substitutes and some scrubs make up this year's team, and it looks as if they are going places this year, in spite of their greenness and lack of weight and experience. ~ ^ j The Camden hospital is in need of funds and Coach Villepigue has a-! greed to let a good slice of the gate j proceeds go to the hospital, and this, ' Combined with the championship battie, will attract a very large crowd, j Bishopville will, -as usual, send over j a large delegation ,of supporters and plans are being made to take care of the crowd, which should be almost as large as the county fair week, crowd that witnessed the hectic bat- | tie between->Sumt?*r 'Camden last Friday. The Bishopville players will find' one of the best high school athletic 1 fields in South Carolina when they trot out on Zemp Field. A siplendid turf will permit speed, spinner plays, and anything else they have to offer. The game will start at three ,p. m. The Camden high 'school football team is very anxious to play some South Carolina high school team on Armistice Day, and would like to get in touch with any team that has an open dgte then, the game to be played in Camden. The American Legion and the j Sbrine Club are planning certain fes- j tivities that day during the morning1 hours and the football game will be j the attraction for the afternoon j hours. John M. Villepigue,- coach of^lhfi' " Camden team, Is g'oing to giveHhe, Caihdfen share of the gate receipts; to the Camden hospital, which is in , need of funds to complete the year. The citizens of Camden are one hundred pec cent behind this hospital drive ami a large crowd will attend the game so as to help with a yery -worthy cause.

This County Leads in Austrian Peas Of Kershaw county farmers have planted between 40,000 and 50,000 ' pounds of Austrian peas and vetch 1 this season. As far as can be learnvvl this is a larger quantity than has eve^been planted in any Sotyth Carolina county. This amount of eeod KvtiH plant between 2,000 and 2,500 1 act#, Most of this acreage will be planted in corn next spring. < Judging the future by results obtained in the past from the .use of jthese valuable winter legume crops ' the corn orop of Kersthaw county will /' be materially increased next year. Those legume craps ad*l large amouftts of humus and nitrogen to the soil and also, keep down winter leach- o ing and washing, and will enable tho farmer who plants them to produce next year's corn or cotton crop at a minimum fertilizer cost since it will be practically unnecessary to apply any commercial nitrogen which is the highest part of our bought fertilizers. Many farmers will find that' their corn yield next year has been doubled by tho use of Austrian peas 1 and vetch. A number of farmers planting Ubesa legumes this season plan to harvest the seed next spring in oilier j that they may sow a larger acreage ( the following fall without having to buy seed. Farmers;, who sowed these seeds on light soils were urged to use at least a small amount of Dotfomitic lime-j stone in order .to insure th$> success of the crop this fall. ' Kershaw county farmers are to be highly commended for their progresr | sive step in planting these seeds, for by'doing so they have advanced fur-, thor along the road of independent, farming and living, and have become: less dependent upon commercial fer- j tilizers which must be bought with1 cash which is so hard to get in the, spring. Also it must not be forgotten that the good derived from Austrian peas and vetch will last for three or four years, while the results j obtained from commercial nitrates last on<ly a fefw 'months. ' I wish to congratulate the farmers-^ of Kershaw county in this connection,1 says Henry D. Green, agent.
