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.

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.?

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

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

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

of veterans' affairs, Washington,
and Gov. Ibra C. Blackwood.
