' ] - _ j - r _ i j r i f Friday, November 4, 1932 OBSERVES MUCH PKAISE / ? g-~ t , t It is not the policy of this 'paper to single out individual citizens for the purpose of heaping eneojniums on their heads unless there bus been such outstanding unselfish service that it appears nothing less than our plain duty so to do. With the prevailing depression and the distressed condition of the farmers of the county, caused thereby, as well as from the shortness of the crops this year, low prices, etc., many the more conservative thought it Wise that no county fair be attornpt, od this year; hut the local Post of the American Legion and the Camden Shrine Club undertook the venture, placing" at the head of the enterprises Viirdell Walsh, and he, with that unselfish, whole-hearted devotion to the public service that has all along characterized his acts, plunged into the work with such vim, ardor and zeal/ that success was assured from the; start. His enthusiasm whs contagious and the others fell in line, . aiding greatly to put over one of the best fairs we have ever had; hut to Mr. j Walsh, much more largely than to any of the others, is due the good fair we had. . The two organizations sponsoring; the fair knew whom to choose. During the ten years he has beep among us, Vardcll Walsh, perhaps more than any other person here, has by ids unselfishness, his straightforwardness, his fine personality and his ever present desire to be of service to others, endeared himself to everybody in the city and surrounding communities. We cannot let the occasion pass without complimenting Mayor Robert M. Kenned# for his most efficient .handling of Camden's democratic rally on last Friday. It was a great occasion. I0verybody enjoyed himself immensely. The day contributed largely to the success of the fair, and the thanks of the entire community are due to Bob Kennedy. Republican party officials in every eoointy in Soirtb Carolina have received instructions from their state headquarters to have watchers at every polling plaJCe on election day and take notes of the actions of election managers. Each watcher will have a blank on which to report the methods of conducting the election, especially as regard's Republican ballots, and after the election, the Republicans will have complete data for their own use in contests, or otherwise. They insist that the state and federal election laws must be strictly observed this' time. The South Carolina supreme court thi> week denied the -Republican candidates a mandamus requiring all party tickets to be on the same-sheet of paper, the court holding that there i> no law here requiring the state to furnish any ballots whatever through any state officer, and pointed out that there is hot even any certification of anybody as candidates at the general election, and nobody may bo voted for. The opinion, written by Chief Justice ' Blease and concurred in by the whole court, affirmed the principle of the secrecy of the ballot, but assumed the law about what will be enfo-ced by election managers, and denied an order that the different party ballots bo placed beyond the scrutiny of spectators. Since a Federal election is involved, the Republican party heads were expected to appeal the matter to the United States supreme court, but will not. they say. The State supreme court opinion makes it clear that this state has no legal provision for the ballots be voted at the elections.

The New York Southern society held its 17th banquet and hall in New York on Friday night. The forma! address of the occasion was delivered by Governor John Garland Pollard of Virginia. The Engineering News-Record, New York, sa3*s that for the week ending October 17 contracts for heavy cnginpcrmfr construction reached a total of $34,445,000, one of the high points of the year. Capital Observations (Spooial Correspondence) 1. J" * Washington, 1). C.I Nov. l,-~?No city in the United States, or perhaps in the world, Hurpaaaes the national capital in public- parks ami playground facilities. Other cities generally: have only a few parks, some of which may be very large. Here., however, in addition to several large parks there are numerous smaller ones, over six hundred in all. Some are hardly entitled to bo called parks, being only limited open spaces, where streets and avenues may cross, but they break the monotony ami afford a pleasing sight ^ to the eye. The largest ami most famous of the more extended, is Hock Creek Park, where there are numerous natural picnic grounds, tennis courts, a golf course, bridle paths that wind over and around the hills, while there are miles of beautiful autofnobile drives within its confines. The celebration of Hallowe'en here has become very general ami extensive. Last night there was a great parade, with all kinds of fantastic costumes and floats. Dances and other forms, of merriment and enjoyment were indulged in throughout the city. A -recently published novel, "Peter Ashley," by DuBose HeyiWard, is receiving high praise from reviewers. | The book 'deals with the old South, l^he principal, character being a pi$duet of Charleston's aristocracy. The main trend of the national poj litical campaign has been toward the ; discussion of economic conditions, rand away from prohibition and the ! liquor question. 1o which' earlier so inii?;h attention was given. One theory which has been smashed forever, and which to some extent had permeated into the South, was that national Republican control meant more prosperous times. With that party! in entire control for over-ten years, ( conditions have never been more dej plorable, and about all that the Rei publicans have said in attempted ex- \ tenuntion is that times mi^ht Have . been worse. They might have been - far better, and doubtless will be with, the incoming of the next administrai tion. ) With the election of Roosevelt it r is confidently expected that "both the senate and house of representatives will be in the hands of the Democrats \luring the 73rd congress. The present house was organised by the Democrats with a very close margin Last December, and the prediction is that there will be a majority approaching a hundred in the next congress. Since the last election the senate has been in the bands of the Republicans by a bare majority of one. If the Democrats are suocessj ful in filling adverse vacancies in j New Jersey and Colorado next week, i they may take over the organization I upon the convening of the last ses-iin of the present congress in December. The senate is a continuous j i body, one-third of the membership. | being elected every two years, and it I is altogether^probable that the present Republican majority will be overcome. Retting on Wall Street has been t.we -and three "to one in favor of Roosevelt. That is especially significant, as the financial interests arc generally Republican, and would rather In-t as thty vote. With nearly everything in their favor, if the Democrats do not win this national election it would seem that the j>arty might as well dasband, and perhaps may igo to pieces. HowV ever, there (foes i)ot seem to be any need of fear of that happening. There is every indication that there will be a now d?*al nnd that after the fourth of next March, Mr. Hoover, the great poverty-abolisher, will be at liberty to resume his sojourn in foreign lands, if he so desires. In view of the interest in fox hunting around Camden, the following epping from a Washington paper of this date is reproduced hero: "A y.-ung fox. endowed with all the) .inning of h;- hoed, triumphed over; h ? ;in< A-n'. enemy -the hound pack ? <,;>er.,r,fcr bar.; of the National Foxh'.inters Association yesterday morn-j tg The hunt was staged .,n the Rock Spring Farm in Montgomery! county. Maryland. "Rising of the .sun was signal for the start In the chase were 75 young hounds and 100 riders. After galloping a mile or so, the hounds broke in three diredlions, with a g'otvp of riders following oao.h pack. The principal body of hounds struck a trail, but after a cha-se acro<w two fields the fox escaped. "Later in the day a pack of 20 hounds uncovered another fox, but this c*no, too, got away. ThftiYdfter the hunters did their hunting around the fireside. "The convention of the National Foxhunters Association, which includes dog trials, horse events and entortaimuenta, will last six days. This morning at 6:30 a second section of the huiR will bo run off." Tickets And Boxes Are Now Ready The-tickets and boxe* for the general election to bo hold next Tuesday are now ready and can be obtained Saturday?-those for the state and county at the county auditor's office and those for the federal* el action at the office of The w eree Messenger. Heretofore not, much interest has been displayed in a presidential election, but owing to the organisation of a new Republican party in this state, with candidates in the field, the interest this year has increased. The Ohronicle has Ibeen called upon by the news fathering agencies to give a report of all votes cast in this county at the earliest (possible moment, so wo are requesting" the managers of both state ami federal elections to bring us u count at each box as soon as -possible after the polls close. 4-ff Club Work Kershaw county has again shown its oxcollonee in 4-H club -work by having ono of its members, Pollye West, of the Charlotte ThQmpson 4-H club, win a trip to the National 4-H club camp which is to be held in Washington next June. Each year two girls and two boys, who have made an outstanding record in club work from each state are invited lo be the guests of the United States Department of Agriculture for a week. These jjrecortls covW a period of yetfrs and the Washington trip is one of the highest honors given in 4-H club work. I'ollye West has a seven-year record in 1-11 club work. During this time she has missed very few meetings and has held all the offices in the club. When the Junior -l-II club | council was organized she wsjs the first president. She has exhibited her products at the County Fair and j won many prizes. She is a leader j in her community as well as in hei I club. She has won distinction in sevoral County and district contests. She i is one of the two outstanding 4-H club girls in South Carolina and Kershaw county is proud of her record. Louise Gaskins, of the Charlotte Thompson 4-H club, represented the Pee Dee district in the health .contest held during the State Fair last week. Sho won second place. The scores were unusually close and past club records had to be reviewed to decide the winner.?' . The home demonstration club ket is open each Saturday morning from 8:45 to 10:45. The market members invite the home makers of the town to\come in and see their attractive display of fresh vegetables, cooked foods, shrubbery, poultry and meat products. Miss Jane Ketchen, marketing specialist from Winthrop college, will give a demonstration on grading eggs. This is the first visit Miss Ketchen has made to the market this year. The members always look forward to her visits as she brings many timely and helpful suggestions for improving the quality of their products. LugofT Club Meets _ The members of the Lugoff Home Demonstration club met at the club house on Tuesday afternoon, November 1st, for their regular monthly meeting. v The usual routine of business was transacted, Mrs. J. W. A. Slanders, president, having given a summary of the work accomplished during the past year, which was very gratifying. ^ Miss Sadie Craig, home demonstration agent, while carrying out her very interesting part of the program, displayed many hand-made articles that she offered* as Christmas gift hints. She then added more spice to the meeting by presenting a magazine content, the winner of the prize J being Mrs. B. W. Gettys. of Camden. ! Tea and sandwiches were served" by ! the hostesses, Mrs. J. W. A. Sanders an 1 Mrs. .la mes Rosborough. An Akron. Ohio, tire manuf.i tur: g company says that its sale- for .the tir-t r.^ne months of th.- year -vrre greater* for the same riod i of last year. j The. good ship Constitution.

Torsten Kruger. brother of the late Ivnr Kruger, Swedish match king, has been arrested at Stockholm on n charge or swindling. Dominick Bufano, satelite of the late Jack "Legs" Diamond, was found murdered in a car in New York on Friday. He went the way of the gangsters. Eugene Talmadge, democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, proposes a conference of governors of cot ton-growing states to work out plana for relief of agriculture in general. The new It-aJiAn liner Rex reached Genoa, Italy on Wednesday, completing her first round trip to New York making the eastern crossing in six and a half days. * Young Declared J Nominee Over Pate The action of the South Carolina Democratic executive committee, in declaring C. iC? Pate the Democratic nominee toy the office of magistrate in the eastern district Buifalp township, Kershaw county, wan reversed in an opinion handed down yesterday in the state supreme court, and John A. Young was declared the nominee. The case was brought before the court, in original Jurisdiction, by John A. Young, against Claud N. Sapp, chairman of the state Demo- I cratic committee and other members I of that committee. | Young petitioned the court to re- | verse tho action of the state commit- ? tee in declaring Pat? the nominee. The Kershaw county committee had declared Young the nominee, but the state committee 'had reversed that S action and .ruled in favor of Pate. The four precincts of Bethune, Haley's Mill, Sandy Grovo and Shamrock gave .'103 votes to Pate and 329 to Young, t'he/court finds. With the inclusion of the votes at Oassatt and : Lockhart, the vote -would be: Pate,' 356 and Young 351. But, tho court rules, the vote at Gassatt and Lockhart should not ibe included, reference being made to certain statutes apply? L ing to Kershaw county. And so, omitting the precincts of Cassatt and Loekhart, the vote would 'be, Young 32-9, and Pate 303. The opinion was by Eugene S. * Blease, chief justice of the court. Thanks Those Who Helped As general chairman of the Demo-, cratic Rally held i/t Camden last Fri- P day, 1 taKP this opportunity of thari&A ing each member, of the committee; ' the chief marshall, 'both local papors for their excellent publicity, all of ou^> , Canulen citizens and particularly the1 people throughout the county for g helping in such a large way to make this occasion a success.
