Roosevelt's lead assured such imoressive proportions that soon after midnight Tuesday President ?oover ^needed the Hew York governor's 'election to the presidency. Ftf the first time since Woodrow Wilson laid aside the duties^of the highest office 12 years ago, a (Democrat will become the land's chief magistrate. He will assume office at a time of economic stress -which furnished the principal talking points of an unusually intensive and bitter campaign. ? bulwark him in his efforts to lead the nation to better times a strongly Democratic House and Senate were clearly indicated as the election returns poured in. Wednesday's Associated Press The revolution at the polls whicb elevated Franklin D. Roosevelt to tihe presidency and cut down Republican office holders was emphasized by late election tabulations. The figures told the story of an ) electorate so determined' upon a change that it braved almost every svariety of weather to register the greatest popular vote ever known, millions higher than the outpouring drawn by the intensity of the 1928 campaign. President Hoover saw every state west of the Alleghenies turn ^gainst him. Only Pennsylvania, Ccmnectcut/ [?Delaware, Now Hampshire, Vermont and Maine kept the Republican faith.

The result was substantially the same whether one looked at the senate, the house, gubernatorial races or even returns affecting prohibition. _ Political old timers blinked as they tried to envision a senate without i such captains of the Republican old guard as "Jim" Watson of Indiana, Reed Smoot of Utah, George Moses of New Hampshire and Hiram Bingham of Connecticut. All beaten by Democrats. Add to theto another veteran, Senator Wesley Jones of "Washington. The eloquence of 'Senator Borah in Idaho apparently failed to save his Republican colleague, Senator John Thomas.

Stanley Llewejlyn, general chairman of the Camden Hospital Rally, has all of his committees busy "with plans to raise funds that will bo necessary to keep the hospital open the balance of this year. At a meeting of the (Steering Committee at the Hotel Camden on Thursday afternoon, reports were heard from y^rious sub-committees. Dr. W. L. DePass reported on a conference of the colored ministers of Camden and of the splendid co-operation they are giving-the-rally, -Rev, J. W. Boykin will perfect an organization of the six colored churches, and as the colored people have been greatly benefited by the hospital, they can be counted upon strongly .to do their part in raising the necessary funds. W. T. Redfeam, chairman of the Rural Committee organizations announced that W. T. Holley had nc* cepted the chairmanship of the Mt. Pisgah section, and Pat Thompson the "chairmanship of the Llberty Hill section. It is Mr. Redfeam's plan to i appoint chairmen of various other sections, such as Westville, Cassatt, Bethune, Midway, Antioch, Charlotte Thompson and other places. ^The chairmen of these points will then organize other committees to work with them. Dr. W. L. DePass suggested that Thanksgiving be set aside as a Pounding Day for the hospital, every I family of the county giving a pound of sugar, coffee, tea, ham, bacon, lard or anything else that can be spared tbeir -shelves^ - The hospital-can use all of these, and arrangements will be made to collect the items to be delivered to the hospital. Many farmers and others are goling to give farm produce instead of cash, and Mr. W. T. Holley suggested John (H. Brinkley, independent. In Wisconsin, the combination ol progressives and Democrats not only carried the state for Roosevelt but elected a Democratic senator and governor, beating Walter J. o for the state office. . t' The Democratic platform and the Democratic candidate urged outright repeal of the 18th amendment and Immediate modification of the V atead act hut not all party caadkUt? agreed -with that stand, just as there were differences among Republicans on the issue. . Classifications by anti-prohibitipn ^organizations estimated that at least 47 senators in the Seventy-third congress would support repeal or resubmission of the 18th amendment From the same sources came claims that approximately 203 house members in the same body would favor giving' the people a chance to excess themselves en the iquor tax I The question of repeal or modification in the coming congress moved further up front with the assertion by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader, that he saw no reason why the issues should not fca passed on whan congress meets ?ajnL At that, the economie situation m jr overshadow prohibition as it d' the campaign juat closed Ecm>?",c? encompass any number of ap J*'?0 ** Mies?taxation, the tarift ** fcpi ploy man t 4iulr tbjt.

This suggestion was accepted as an ideal one.fpr that programme, and a day will 'be set aside for the concentration of supplies at every schoolhouse, both whit? and colored. On November 18th there will be a square dance at the Community House at Lugoflf. Refreshments will be served and the proceeds will go to the hospital. A similar entertainment will be given at the Trinity Club in West Wateree, on November IHh, for the bencflt of-the" hospital. This club is about a mile beyond the' plantation of Mr. N. P. Gettys. A hospital rally will be held at the Mt. Pisgah school at 7 p. m., November 11th, and plans will be perfected for a programme in that section. Several speakers from Camden will attend this meeting. Mrs. Harry G. Mai-vin, chairman of the Hospital Auxiliary, will have charge of organizing the women of the county, and when they do get organized you can look for splendid results. The Business Women's Club gave a card party at St. Mary's Hall on Friday night, and the hospital realized a nice sum from this entertainment. Another nice sum was realized from the Camden-Bishopville football game to which Coach Villepigu.e and the [ players' so generously contributed ; their time and energy. Another benefit game will be played on Friday afternoon, November 11th, between Camden and 'Barnwell, and the Coach and players will again let their share bf^tfte~gate receipts go to the~hospital. A large crowd will be present, as that is Armistice Day.- The Barnwell team has not lost a game this season. Hdnry Savage reported that the first of the series of three polo games will be played on .Sunday afternoon, and that nurses from the hospital will pass among the crowd to take up a collection and all of the money will go to the hospital. Mr. Savage hopes to raise $100 or more at each game. (Sometime in December, the polo club will again stage an entertainment for 4he- h?sp4te4. This1 time it will be in the form of a gymkana and many novel stunts will attract a crowd. On Thursday night, November 10, there will be a wrestling match and the hospital will again get a nice fund. Bear Cat Jones, a famous wrestler,, will' have another well, known opponent. " The school children and their teachers from'every school in the county will be called upon to aid the rally. Each child is going to be asked to donate 10c, and they are requested to earn this money themselves, and .not call on their parents for same. Each teacher will be asked to contribute 50c. Different classes of each school are to compete with each other to see which will be the first to go over the top one hundred per cent and a trophy will go to the county school that first reports one hundred per cent for the SchobTt One trophy for the colored schools and one for the white schools. A committee win be appointed .to organize the schools in this work, and a nice sum will be realized if *11 of the wltooli enter into the contest, acid the sum asked for from each pupil is ?o snwtH tfcat all y Tourists Arriving For Winter Season ThO* winter season here is under way 'earlier than usual this year, post of the cottage colony having already opened their homes.

J t i i r - v. * it!vi Dr. Wimberly New Methodist Pastor The Methodist conference in 'session in Florence this week assigned Rev. Warren G. Ariail to the Cheraw church and sends Dr. C. F. Wimberly, for four yenrs pastor at St. George, to the pastorate of the Lyttleton Street Methodist church of this city. Rev.,,Ariail has made many warm friends during his stay in Camden and they regret to see him leave here. Dr. Wimberly comes to Camden with the highest recommendations. We reproduce an editorial from tfto! last issue ?of--the Dorchester County j Record, published at St. George: ''It is withv great reluctance thati we approach the time when Dr. C. j F. Wimberly, pastor of the St. Geo.rge Methodist church, shall leave j for Conference, which meets in JFlor. ence on November 7th, as his leaving us this year will no doubt mean that some otl\er charge wilFgajn the services of this great and gifted^ Christian preacher for the-coming year, as he has served this charge the usual four years that is allotted pastors of the Methodist Conference. Ho.wever, a strong petition from the church membership will be presented to the Conference asking that Dr. Wimberly be returned to us for another year at least. Whether or not this request will be granted we cannot say, but sincerely trust that we will have the pleasure and benefit of having this man as a citizen of our town for a,while longer. 'But should the Conference feel that he has served his time here and that he can better serve the cause of his Master and of d.the people at large elsewhere, we can | only say, *God Speed?Our Loss-4s Only Another's Gain.' "Since coming to St. <*eorge, Dr. Wimberly has endeared himself to the people of the town probably as no other pastor has ever been able to do. He is known far and wide as one of the most brilliant preachers in the Methodist Conference, and as a consecrated Christian gentleman has few equals anywhere. ' Besides being a great preacher and pastor, Dr. Wimberly is also nationally known as an author of no mean renown,- having f written quite a number of religious books and short stories which have : been nationally recognised arid'Tild : by a -large following. J "Dr. Wimberly is a tireless work; er, ever being ready to do anything j that will in anywise enhance the | cause of Christ and help a downi trodden and sinful humanity to a higher plane of living. He is one of the most gifted orators that this writer has ever had the pleasure of listening to, in mai>y cases reciting chapter after chapter from the Bible without even opening the cover. Anychurch that can gain Dr. Wimberly for its pastor is indeed most fortunate, and the work of that church is assured of great success. "The besjt wishes of the Dorchester j County Record and the entire population of the Town of St. George i shall follow Dr. Wimberly and his noble family should they be sent to other fields of labor. And should perchance they remain with us for another season, there will be great rejoicing." The first service at which Dr. Wimberly will preach wHl he on Sunday morning, November 20, at 11 flS o'clock, to which the fxtbhc is cordially ?invited. :i, _Et; v ?iui? ifi?i Camden Hi Winner For District Five mm A', V . ' Camden Bull Dogs won the championship of District Five on last Iriilay when they ran rough-shod over the Bishopville team, defeating1 them t>y the largest score made against any team this season, 32 to 0. The Bull Dogs completely out- ; classed the visitors, running up nineteen first downs to Bishopville's six. Camden advanced the hall from the line of scrimmage for 321 yards while Bishopville, gained 118. Brown, full hack for Bishopville, was their best bet. He played a peach of a game on offense as well nig defense making the Visitors', lone score. Brown returned one of Camden's kicks frpm behind his own goal line for well/over ftfty yards getting by the whole Camden team except the safety man, who downed him. McCaskiil, a guard, played a good defensive game in the line. Funderburk and Flowers played a stellar game in the line for Camden, turning back many Bishopvillo backs for losses and no gainss Wooten and Thompson were the backfleld threats of the home team on defense and offense. Scoring for Camden were: Thompson 3, Haynes 1, Wooten 1; Haynes and Thompson were credited with one extr^ p6mt each. /Both teams did a good bit of tumbling and it still looks as if that is Camden's weakest point. Coach Villepigue used his entire squads of twenty-eight men, using many players who had never been in a real game of football before. Lineup of players: Camden ~ Bishopville Sanders I?"
