Transport Officials
Pay Camden a Visit
The people of Camden are delighted
to know that the Eastern AirwaySj
Corporation is to give Camden daily
aeroplane mail, passenger and freight
eervice, commencing December 1st.
The oiliicials of the Eastern Airway
Corporation were here on Saturday
In two planes, one s an enormoue
Condor plane and the other a six
passenger plane.
They arrived here at 9:30 A. M,
from Columbia and were met by a
delegation of citizens representing
the City, County, Chamber of Commerce,
Kotary Club, Shrine Club and
tourist colony. They were taken
over the City in automobiles ahd at
12.45 a luncheon was served to them
at the Camden Hotel.
Hughey Tindal, President of the
chamber of Commerce, presided and
he introduced Henry G. Garrison, Jr.,
Chairman of the Woodward Airport
Commission, who made the address
of welcome. Mayor R. M. 'Kennedy
also made a talk, and welcomed the
officials and the new air line to Camden
and told of the cooperation they
would receive from our citizens. Talks
were also made by R. W. Pomeroy,
Samuel Russell and David R. Williams.
Mr. Tindal then called .on. Mr
Elliott, Vice President of the Eastern
Airways, who made a splendid talk,
telling tHem how much they appreciated
the enthusiasm shown by the
people here, and what his * air line
proposed to do. He then introduced
the other officials of his company,
about eighteen of them, and most of
them made short talks. One of the
officials said that Camden was nerhaps
Ihe prettiest town they had ever
flown over, and said it was a
treat to see such a'pretty town from
the air, as well as riding around it
in automobiles. They altfo praised
the Woodward Aviation fiefd, and
said it was an unusually fine one
and that'the hangar was very modern
and complete.
Elliott then invited all of the
luncheon party to come out as guests
of his cmpany and to see the town
from the air. All of them accepted
his invitation, and all were delighted
-with the air trip. """ :
The pant Condor plane attracted
a lot of attention. It has a capacity
of twenty passengers, two pilots and
a hostess. The plane is so arranged
that conversation is easy and every
comfort is offered in it that one
finds in a Pullman car. Luncheons
are served to the passengers on long
trips by attractive hostesses, who are
all college graduates and trained for
their work. The meals are prepared
at their headquarters in Newark, N.
_J., which is within sight of New York
City. The plane has magazines and
papers for passengers, and there is
a cooler of ice water. In the way of
"comforts besides these is a rest room
equipped with hand basins, mirrors,
toilet, etc. just as one finds in a
Pullman car. '
Camden is to be on the Charlotte,
Camden, Columbia* Augusta branch
of the Airways, and later the line will
likely be extended to Charleston or
Savannah. " . - -
One can leave Camden at 10:40 in
the morning and go via Charlotte to
New York, arriving in New York at
*10 that afternoon. At Charlotte,
the Camden plane will connect with
the New York-New Orleans air line,
wd Camden will then be within a
<kys travel of New York or 1 New
Orleans. Later on night flying is to
be inaugurated.
The tourists will be able to stay fn
with their Northern, homes In
a manner that they did hot dream of
1 few years ago. - They can join
ttair families here for week-ends,
and got their New York papers each
instead of waiting two days, as
b necessary now.
The business men of Camden can
? letters delivered at long disM
day by planes or^receive
jUil the same way.

Fine Imposed On
Insurance Agent
Virgil C. Carter, an agent of the
National Aid Society of Indianapolis,
Ind., was fined $100 in magistrate's
court at' Camden Saturday after being
arrested for soliciting business in
South Carolina for a Arm not licensed
with the state insurance commissioner,
?Sam B. King, commissioner, said.
Carter plead guilty of the offenseand
Magistrate B. M. Smith imposed
the fine on him,
Upon being informed that the agent
was in Kershaw county representing
the unlicensed company, R. He?
Kelly, of the state insurance coqa,-.
mission, began an ^investigation and
soon after swore outfit warrant for
his arrest. The arrest was made by
the county deputy sheriff.
Mr. King said the arrest was in
line with many different warnings
that had been issued by the commission
and that it was his intention to
"vigorously prosecute any man guilty
of violation of the insurance laws of
the state, such as soliciting insurance
for an unlicensed company."
"The public is again reminded to
do business with only those agents
who can produce an insurance license
from South Carolina for the reason
that the commission has no jurisdiction
over unlicensed companies," he
I said. Whether or not a company is
'licensed can be ascertained by communicating.
with the insurance commission
offices, he said.

E. B. Phillips, a white man, has
been confined in the county jail since

Sheorn on Main street. Phillips was
first noted trying to. got into a oar
belonging to W. T. Redfeam at the

plausible excuse that Mr. Redfearn
let him oft. Officer DeBruhl noticed
him examining various cars on Main:
street and when he saw him get into
' the Sheorn car took him in charge.
,County and police authorities have |
checked up on him and find that he i

Methodist Pastor is
Welcomed to Camden
'* One of the most delightful events
of the recent weeks, was the reception
tendered Dr. and Mrs. C. F. Wimberly,
the new pastor of the Methodist
church, by the members of his congregation,
last Friday evening. The
affair was planned by the chairman
of the Official Board, and was met
with unanimous approval by. all. ^ It
was held at the American Legion
Hall, and no less than one hundred
attended, notwithstanding the downpour
of rain, and other events in
town that had been prearranged.
The choir from the church, directed
by Mr. T. V. Walsh and Mrs. Lois
Gandy entertained the crowd wit^
some rousing inspirational songs.
Miss Dotty Zemp rendered a piano
90I0 with the touch of an artist, and
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Zemp sang some
beautiful duets. Mr. W. R. Zemp
made,an appropriate address of welcome
to the new pastor and his wife,
and was responded to by Dr. Wimberly.
Delightful refreshments were
served, and it was voted a most happy
occasion.
The following pastors of the city
called and extended a welcome to the
new minister: Rev. J. B. Caston, of
the Baptist church; Rev. A. D. McArn,
of the Presbyterian church, and
Rev. ar\d Mrs. Craighill, rector of the
Episcopal church, and Rev, Mr. Llttlejohn,
of the Wateree Baptist
church. ^
On Sunday evening a union service
was held in the Methodist church,
participated in by all the local 'paptors
and their 'peopje^-IM. -DialE.
auditorium was packed, and the Sunday
School annex was also comfort-ably
-filled. Rev. Mi. Cuatwr. "presided,
and gave warm words of welcome
for the Baptist people; Uov. A.
D.'? McArn, of the Presbyterian
church, represented his people in the
same wholesome, fraterna spirit. It
was a two-fold welcome, as Rev.
Frances Craighill, the new rector of
the Episcopal church, had assumed
charge very recently. All the ministers
took part in the preliminaries,
and Dr. Wimberly delivered the message.

' " ' ? ? a
Change in Station Agents
i. . - ? *'
U. G. Burns, who for some time
had been agent of the Southern Railway,
moved to Lancaster with his
family last week to take charge of
the station at that place, displacing
Mr. P. A. Moore, who took charge of
the Lancaster station after being
displaced here by Mr. Burns several
months ago. Mr. Burns is superseded
at Kershaw by C. T. Green,
formerly station agent of the Southern
at Camden, and the position vacated
at Camden, by Mr. Green is now
filled by Bradford, who came
to Camden from Forest City, N. G.
These changes are wrought through
the seniority system, whereby the
older men in the service have the
privilege of superseding agents at
other points who have been for a
shorter time in the service, whenever
they desire to do so. For the
present Mr- Moore has not selected
a location, so we are informed.?

won an undisputed claim to the lower
state crown when they defeated the
powerful Beaufort team in a iMM
exciting Turkey Day battle?score 84
to 12. *
Beaufort presented the strongest
team Camden, has met this season
and the game' was not decided until
the last whistle -blew despite the fact
I of the one-aided score.
Every man on both teams fought
hard , and Beaufort's hard fight
against odds made them appear the
scrappiiqrest team ever seen on the
local gridiron.
Brown, Beaufort's quarterback and .
captain shared honors with Captain
Thompson and Team of Camden."
Brown was an excellent punter, passer
and broken field- runner. At the
beginning of tho second half Brown
ran 61 yards through Camden's entire
team for BeauforCs first score. The
passing combination of Brown to '
Thomas paved the way for the second
touchdown and also netted many flrfct
downs. Beaufort made 16 first downs
to Camden's 7.
Thompson and ,(Team were Camden's
most consisterit ground-gainers,
Thompson making three touchdowns
and Team two. Thompson made four
straight extra points by the drop-kick
route, but hia last try wfcft a littlet?off.
On the scecond play of the game
a pass from Thompson to Team netted
61 yards liking 12 yards for a
score. Team brade the remaining'distance
around end for Cfamden's first
touchdown. Camden's line stars were
