Price per annum 12.00, payable In advance. Friday, December 2, 1932 A CHALLKNCK If thero afe those among us whose hearts have not been touched by the appeal for funds by the Camden hospital, we hope that they will stop for a few moments and ponder and give thought to that great institution and the good it has done, is doing and will do in the relief of suffering humanity in our midst. Since its es, tablishment through the'generosity of iBernard M. Baruch, .aided by benefactions from others, no sufferer has been turned away from its doors. The good that it has done is incalculable. Hundreds upon hundreds of people in needy circumstances have been ministered to there, wholly at the expense of the hospital. The institution has cost the county and the people of the county little in comparison to tho service it has rendered. The management and nursing staff have been veritable "Angels of Morcy" to many sufferers in despair. They have ministered for the love of relieving the suffering, and it would bo unthinkable for our peoplo to so far forget the sacrifices made not to': deny themselves enough to promptly till the present imperative needs of the institution. Camden and Kershaw county are most fortunate in tho doc-! tors who arc practicing their profes- J sion therein. ^Theee men unselfishly demoting their lives for others, receiving compensation in no wise compas able to tho time, thought and energy s)-s.-nt and the soTvice rendered, are giving their very lives to help those who cannot help themselves. V Uy donating to the present cause we lend a helping lyind to rtiem. Wc cannot, must not fail. TRl'K SBORTSM ANSI! IP Coach Dana ('. Me London, of the Beaufort high school football team, whose team put up such u game fight against Camden and lost, has sent the following much-appreciated letter to Coach John M. Villepigue of the Camden team: "I have received your letter and wish to express my appreciation for its contents. I am glad that our teanr^made such a favorable impression on you and your supporters. "I also wish to commend your team on its fine play and high type of sportsmanship. Football is fulfilling its mission as a sport when two trtims can oppose each other, play hard and clean, and leave the field with a feeling of mutual respect. We feel that your team deserved to win and the Beaufort team, individually and ps a group, wish you the greatest J success in your game for the state' chain pionsh'ip. "We enjoyed playing in Camden and especially before an audience which was >o free of partisanship." Says Chester Ready The winning of the Up-State Clnss B football championship has grown to be such a habit with Coach Iaiwronce A. Spearman and his proteges, that it has lost some of its thrill. However. the memories of that one-sided defeat at the hands of Camden in the Christmas Day bout at Columbia for the state championship are still rankling in the minds of the Red Cyclone, and the gods of battle have decreed that Camden is to be Chester's opponent again. I^ast year Chester was worn to a frazzle as the result of n long and wearisome schedule that Involved no fewer that three tie games in the up-state finals; but this fall's schedule has been run off without any such tough luck, and barring injuries between now and the big game, Chester is ready, and has no alibis.? Chester Reporter. A prisoner in the Raymond street jail. Brooklyn, N. Y., on Saturday shot a deputy warden to death and then killed himself. . The prisoner's wife was visiting him at the time. Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, V. C., Nov. ?L~-Of the many historic buildings in this city perhaps the most not&l and interesting is the home of the president#, the White House,' a portion of | which is open to the public, and visited by countless thousands of tourists. The site was selected by George Washington, who laid the corner stone in 17t>2 and John Adams was the first occupant. A view is afforded to visitors of the Kast Koom whero presidential receptions are held, and where wore married the daughters of Presidents Grant, Theodore Roosevelt and Wilson. During the summer a suggestion was mude, to. President Hoover by Franklin f>. Roosevelt, as governor of the State of New York, that they confer regarding Jhe Great LakesSt. Lawrence waterway with a view of ironing out a hitch wl^ch appeared to have developed concerning New York's participation in the project, but the proffer -was not acceptedHowever, since the election the president called upon Roosevelt to meet him in conference regarding the delicate situation of payments upon debts owed by European countries, and the request was graciously complied with. It is understood that the president-elect sagaciously did not commit himself in the premises, nor did ho offer any advice or make any | suggestions as to how the matter should bo handled, as it must be, by those now in authority. The administration has announced that no fur! thor postponement of payments will bo approved, and that is a source of i groat disappointment to the debtor I nations, practically" all of which have I nearly empty treasuries. It is believed that most of them will-.make ' strenuous efforts Jo meet payments > duo December fifteenth, i Rarely, if ever, has there been such la rapid and complete change in publie sentiment regarding a question of I policy and law as there has been I throughout the entire country conj corning prohibition. Even just bo| fore the election it did not seem that the early repeal of the 18th amendment was actually in sight, whereas since then jiumerous Senators and Representatives heretofore dry have accepted the result of the balloting, and will now support repeal. Also, in the past it has required a considerable length of time for an amendnnmt to the constitution to go the rounds, whereas now predictions are made that repeal of the 18th will be accomplished in short order. The main obstacle in the way of rapidity would seem to be the difficulty in Congress as to how the end shall be accomplished as far as national action is concerned, that is whether outright repeal shall be simply provided for, whether there shall he embraced a provision outlawing the saloon, or whether there shall be embraced any other provision, such as the method of sale or handling; Numerous features have been under consideration. A difficult problem to confront the incoming administration and the next Congress is that of so-called farm relief, assuming that nothing will be done at the short session about to meet. During the past few years I several measures have been passed or considered only to meet with executive disapproval, and the only plan that became a law is the one creating the Federal Farm Board, which is generally considered a failure So far as affording any relief is concerned. In addition to the South the West went solidly Democratic1 this election largely upon the prospect of a better deal for the agricultural interests. It is to be hoped that some satisfactory measure may be agreed upon. Since the Civil War South Caro-1 lina has not been represented in the cabinet of any president, although nearly every other Southern state has been so recognized. There is in the state an ample supply of able material upon which the president-elect might draw if ho finds it so that South Carolina may be honored. 171 one sense it may be sa:d that President Hoover is serving two' terms?his tirst and his last. The Planters Tobacco w arehouse at \ Mebane, N". was destroyed by fire Tuesday with a loss of $40,000. Senator George H. Moses. Republican. of New Hampshire, expresses the opinion that the prohibition laws will be liberalized during the short session of congress convening Monday next. It was John Browning Sapp until a court at Denver, Col., issued an order permitting him to change his name to John S. Browning. He complained that he didn't want to go through life always being called a Sapp. In his daily letter on Saturday, Will Rogers announced that he had it direct from William G. McAdoo, senator-elect from California, that he, McAdoo, would not accept any cabinet position under Mr. Roosevelt, if offered. Practically the whole of Scotland was buried deep in snow over the week-end. I Local Floral Plant Featured in Review Hoi Kohn, well known floj-ist and business man of Nflvd>erry, wa8 * guest at a Rotary luncneoa in Camden a few week* ago, where he was a speaker for the occasion, ^fter the luiK'heon he was taken for a ride over the city to places of interest. Being greatly interested in flowers he visited the large plants of the Cat#8 den Floral company, and being president of the South Carolina Florists' association, wrote the following interesting story to the Florists' Review, a national publication, which appeared in its issue of November 24: Camden, situated in central South vCarolina, is one of the 'two popular winter tourists' town for whijh that state Is widely known. With a soil containing ample sand and fine drainage, Camden ranks as one of the winter Mecca* for the horse-loving person, with moans to gratify the desire to live in a climate that is juat right ?not too worm nor too cold, but one from which the tourist may journey back to his colder home and not suffer from too great a change in temperature. Golf, polo, horse^ck riding and flying may be enjoyed Vat Camden the year around, but when the snow flics up north is when sports flourish in that flno southern city, rich in tradition and boasting of more than its share of Revolutionary, Civil and World War heroes. ) Rut this story is not so/much con-' cerned with selling you the idea of wintering in" Camden as it is to tell .of the Camden Floral Company, presided over by William and Roland Good ale. They make an ideal cotnbiI hTI " ; nation, the former having charge of 'the financial details and Roland hand-, j ling the growing. Although of entirely different temperaments, they both attract apd hold friends and are j enlarging their business through their, 'contacts with florists all over the i south, for the brothers do not depend on local business to consume much of their volume, but go after the whole-i sale trade in a big way. They are al- I ready a great factor in the cut flower business in their section. When it comes to growing Easter lilies, they are probably without a peer in the southeast. They have made a great success of growing lilies for the pot plant trade, as well as for cut flowers. They market begonias, cyclamens and poinsettlas In great numbers, besides selling much bedding stock. ( Of course, they enjoy a tine tourists' business, and during the winter season they open a second place, where they have one of the best display arrangements this writer has ever seen. As one enters, one is in a foyer, as it were, with the business office on the left, while the space in j front and to the right is used for dis| plays. In the background and below the elevation of the foyer, the display greenhouses are located., which, with their sunken effect, give an unusually fine appearance from- t^e entrance. One can stand in the shop and have a fine view of the entire establishment, which in winter is filled with stock the tourists' trade prefers. The Goodale brothers employ unusually intelligent young women to serve the tourists. The Camden Floral Company has one of the cleanest ranges to be seen anywhere. Everything is spotless and in good repair, with the aisles dry and clean. In fact, the whole place has the earmarks of care and exudes an air of permanency and success in contrast with many unkempt greenhouses which advertise to the public that they sell beauty, but do not practice it. A spacious Frigidaire - equipped stock-room is ample to store the thousands orf blooms that are stocked the year around, some of which are shipped in, but most of them are of the Goodales' own production. On a recent inspection, the stock-room was 1 filled with roses, gladioli, asters and; lilies. It is a lovely, as well as fra| grant, place in which to browse j around. A well arranged and ample-! sired workroom and parking spaceare also pro\ idod, making a modern arrangement for the whole-ale and -( rail business. To those who may think that South Carolina offers few modern (lower establishments, it would be good if they could make a journey to Camden and meet the Goodale brothers and be shown over their establishment to see what ran be done in a city that, at best, offers only a small veiume of flcwii business. The brothers started from the ground and hav? worked up. They have learned by doing and each season have profited from former mistakes, so that they now have a smoothly running organization, cmploying many workers and growing each year in the amount of business done, in the esteem of their fellow citizens and in the estimation of their customers. Here, then, is an example of the re Veterans' Hospital Dedicated Sunday v.. -- .V. Columbia, Nov. 28.?Dedicated as "a tempi* to the relief of pain and sickness" the new $1,300,000 Federal Veterans' Hospital of South Carolina will be opened to patients Thursday. Patients principally from South Carolina und nearby states will be accommodated at the hospital, whose | plant is composed of 13 buildings. It is situated only a few miles from Columbia. * Speaking at dedicatory exercises yesterday, Gen. Charles P. Summerall, president of The Citadel, described the hospital as a "temple dedicated to the relief of P^in and t sickness." I "It is," he continued, "one of the many similar memorials erected by the government of a grateful people ! to the sufferings and sacrifices of the living and the dead who served the nation in war." Thousands of persons attended the exercises, held under the direction of the American Legion. In addition to Gen. Summerall, sp^ahers included Col. George E. Ijam, assistant administrator of veterans' affairs, Washington, and Gov. Ibra C. Blackwood.
