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

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

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. !

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.
