COMMON SENSE SERMON
Camden ban nearly always been
fortuhate in the ministers who have
been called to the different churches
in tho community, but it has never
been happier in this reapoct than now.
Tho consecrated) ablo and intelligent
pastors who Oil the different pulpits
In tho city at this time probably constitute
the greatest influence for good
that has ever been at work here.
On last Sunday those who wore
fortunate enough to attend the Presbyterian
church wer? charmed and
edified by one of tho most comprchen?,
?ivo common sense sermons that it
' has been our privilege to listen to in
many a day. Reverend Mr. McAm
had the .Sunday before discussed the
causes of the present unrest a'nd depression
throughout tho world. Someone
who had enjoyed that sermon,
during th<rweek, must have suggested
to himiMp.^ he give his ideas as to
the needed remedies. This he did
Inst Sunday. Without professing to |
offer a panacea, Mr. McAm did, wo j
think, unerringly point to somo of i
. tho things that might be done to relieve
the present situation. His suggestions
with regard to the payment
of debts promptly wherever possible
and in part where they cannot be
fully paid, the giving of gainful employment
to others, and the sharing
of u >rk among those who labor so;
that the greatest number may he fed,
were to our minds fraught with such
good common sense as to be remarkable.
I
When ministers, such as Mr. Mc-1
Am, willrmit forgetting their duty to
keep the light ever before their people.
intelligently discuss practical issues
of tho time, their sermons are
bound to be helpful to their people.
HICK TOWN STUFF
Quite a number of business men,
operating large interests, were awnkVvw
ened one night this week by anoriymous
calls telling them that their
business houses were on fire. All
made hurried runs down town to find
that they were victims of practical
jokestcrs. In talking to one of the
victims, he stated that he passeB it
by this time in a aenso of humor, but
he would not appreciate it for a regular
nightly occurrence. Such jokes
are serious and may result in a bad
wreck or collision when there could
be no -excuse offered. No names are
being called but the party or parties
should try some other means of having
fun. It is hick town stuff.
They'll Fill The White House
When Governor Roosevelt and his j
family stopped in Omaha last September
they were taken out to the (
farm of (lus Sumnick, who has 11
children, all at home, for farm-cooked
chicken dinner. The Sumnieks had
the threshing on that very day which
added to the enjoyment ol* the Roosevelt
party. The governor himself got
his campaign hat covered with dust
from the machine and Mrs. Roosevelt
climbed over a barbed wire feptfo to
see all there was to be seen on the
Sumnick farm. On bidding their
hosts goodbye, -Governor Roosevelt
gave Mr. and Mrs. Sumnick a cordial
invitation to visit them at tho White
House in Washington next summer.
And that is exactly what the Sumnick
family is going to do, children and
all. They aro planning for that trip
righl now in spite of hard times. But
- then Gus has four farms and enough
cars to carry the entire family for
what will, no doubt prove to be the
most thrilling outing they over had.
Think These Over and Buy at Home.
Here are a few short paragraphs,
author unknown, that are worthy of
pasting in your scrap book and putting
:r.te daily practice:
I buy at home because my interests
here.
%dk*4u-e the community which ig""'i
enough for me to live in is good
iv-r mc to buy in.
Because 1 want to see the goods.
Because I want to get what I buy
when I pay for it.
lb-cause, my home dealer carries me
when I run short.
Because the men I buy from stand
back of the goods.
Because I sell what I produco here
at home and here I buy.
Because the man I buy from pays
his part of the town, county and state
tax.
Because tho man I buy from helps
support my schools, my church, my
lodge and my home.
Because when ill Juck, misfortune
or bereavement comes, the man I buy
from is here with his kindly greeting,
his word of cheer and his pocketbook
if need be.
I buy at home.
Here I live and here I buy.

Capital Observations
(Spocial Correspondent) .
Washington, 1). ., Doc. 6.?Befpre
the city of Washington was laid out
there was in the territory which was
embraced in the District of Columbia
a settlement of considerable sise
called Georgetown, and for a long
time it maintained a separate municipal
organization. Many years ago
it was merged with Washington and
the entire district was placed under
ono and the same government. Only
a^mull stream, Hock Creek, separates
the two soctions now, as the two cities
gradually 1>uilt -up towards each
other. Many of the most elegant and
stately residences are located in old
Georgetown.
After tho election in 1020 the Hepublican
majority in tho Seriate refused
to confirm the appointment of
any ono of tho opposite political faith,
and the Democratic high command in
the present Sonate now purposes to
even matters up by holding up any
further nominations of President
Hoover, so that Democrats may be
named after the fourth of March.
The effect of this in South Carolina
will be that the reorganized Republican
patronage aggregation will have
no further business to transact. It
is now the time for old Joe TOlbei't
to laugh. Ho was turned down flat
and allowed no patronage by tho present
administration but it would seem
that he kept his? organization in better
shape than his successors; who
made a ludicrously insigniftcanV?bow!
ing at the polls last month.
I A proposition to amend the constitution
of the United States now be-1
fore the states for approval is face-1
tiously known as tho "Lame Duck ,
amendment. Senators and represen-;
tatives who may have voluntarily declined
to stand for re-election, or who j
may have been defeated, are called,
lame ducks because of being politic I
rally .crippled. The last or short session
of congress is referred to as the
| lame duck session, and this tho
| amendment referred to purposes to do
away with. Representatives elected
I last month become membres on the
! fourth of next March, but unless eo?Igrftss
Uncalled in special session they
do not actually participate in legislation
until the regular session in December
of next year. The amendment
provides that Congress shall
convene on the third of January of
each year, when members elected in
November shall participate, and tho
newly elected president will be sworn ^
in on the 20th of Janua/y. The principal
object to be accomplished is to
prevent control of legislation and government
policies for three mortths by
an executive and a Congress that may
have been rejected at the November
election. The proposal has already
been approved by seventeen states,
I nearly half of the number necess'ary,
land there is every prospect that the
; new amendment, the twentieth, will
! become a part of the constitution
within a few more months. If so a
record will be established by the preliminaries
being completed within one
year. ^
Led in the. House of Representatives
by Speaker Garner on the first
day of the session the anti-prohibitionisLs
failed by a close margin to
obtain the necessary two-thirds majority
on a proposed amendment to
the constitution abolishing the eighteenth.
The proposal was for simple
und outright repeal, and it is believed
that favoral)le action may hnve been
had if thoro had been embodied a
provision for outlawing the saloon.
The reason for precipitate action .on
the first day was that under the rules
tho first and third Mondays in any
ono month are the only days when
there can be a suspension of the rules
to permit consideration out of the
ordinary. The question may come up
in tho Senate during the present session
and possibly passed in a modified
form. If so it may get back to
the House for attention, but if not
itit is certain to come up in Congress
ag:fin during an extra session after
the fourth of March. The effort on
Monday to put the horses before the.
cart, so to speak, would <eem to he
! logical. that is t>> endeavor to repeal
'the prohibition amen.'.men4, before
ak . ng up a bill to legalize h.. :. or
I'iight wines.
| The ptonunv.alion of proper names
v;u ies widely, and i> iftrge.y a matter ;
of choice. The best method, however,
would seem to be to follow that of
the bearers of a particular name. The 1
members of the family of the next;
president pronounce their name in.
two syllables, and as though spelled i
Rose-velt.
Anderson county is appealing to
the supreme court from tho decree of
Judge Featherstor.e allowing four
lawyers $">,000 for collecting $20,000
from the bondsmen of the county
treasurer who defaulted. One of them
was Solicitor Ieon W. Harris, late
candidate for the United Statfcs senate.
and another ^was the county at- j
torney, Hald Major, and the quartet i
of lawyers took, tho case on a .con-1
tingent fee contract which people of
the county are trying to annuT.
H. N. Boykin Shot
By Doctor Kendall
Columbia, ..Dec* 6?H. N, Boykin,
former (Columbia police officer, was
shot and killed today in his room at
a local hotel. Aftei^he shooting, Dr.
II. W. Kendall, Columbia physician,
went to the police station and told
| Sergeant C. K. Weaeott he had killed
Boykin.
N. A. Theodore, attorney for Kendall,
said the physician would plead
self defense. Theodore said Kendall
had been called to Boykin's room for
"professional services," but that when
he arrived Boykin started an argument.
Kendall, through his attorney, said
Boykin had been drinking and appeared
to blame him for his dismissal
from the police force October 11.
When he started to leave, Kendall
said the former officer exclaimed: I
"You can't leave here. You're on
the spot,. I'm going to kill you."
The physician said tho former of- i
fleer then reached for his pistol and
he shot Boykin once.
Kendall turned over his pistol at
the police station. He was detained,
while Sergeant Wescott went to the
hotel room to investigate the shooting.
. *
Wescott said he and Coroner W. A.
McCain found Boykin's body, fully
clothed except for a coat, lying in a
pool of blood. Ho said Boykin's pistol
was found lying partly under his
body. x |
Boykin, who came here from Bishopvillc
in 1917, was dismissed from
the Columbia police force on charge
' of conduct unbecoming to an officer.
I Kendall, who was his personal
I sician, was said to have testified rolajtive
to his physical condition,
j Mr. Ifhykin, who .was unmarried,
j was horn in Lef' county, his mother
dying when he was about five years
of age. He was adopted by J. E.
Chewning, a first cousin of tho boy's
mother, and raised on a farm near
Bishopville.
In 1911 he came to Columbia while
Colonel Griffith was superintendent
of the state penitentiary and served
as a guard at that institution until
1917, when he became a member of
the Columbia police force.
In January, 1920, Mr. Boykin, then
a member of the city police force,
shot and killed France J. Yonce, a
soldier of Camp Jackson, at the Seahoard
Air Line railway station. Mr.
Boykin was indicted, was tried and
was found not guilty by a jury.
J. C. Chowning, clerk of the board
of county commissioners of Lee county,
was notified of the death of his
kinsman, Mr. Boykin, early yesterday
and came at once to Columbia.
He took charge of the body and this)
morning will take it from Columbia
[ to^phis home near Bishopville and then
to Spring Hill where the funeral sefvices
will be'held. *
Doctor Kendall received his medical
degree at Tulane university in
New Orleans and did post graduate
work in the city of New York.
"He has been practicing his profession
in Columbia about five years and
: is a former city physician. He was
born and reared in Columbia.
Convenient Memory.
All I know is what I see in the papers,
and it does appear, reacting
between the lines, that Col. Raymond
Robins is a first class fakir. His loss
of memory, or amnesia, has all the
ear-marks of a put up job to fool the
folks.
In the good old days when tramp
printers abounded, sympathy and a
handout always could be had for a
deaf man, generally known as a
"dummy." I remember such a fellow
[ coming to The Enquirer office when
typo was set by hand. Dummy worked
all day at the case, and in the late
afternoon asked me about freight
trains going toward Raleigh. I knew
a number of trainmen, so mado arrangement
for Dummy to beat his
way on an outgoing freight at night.
But next day tho train crew in returning
to Monroe had a good laugh'
at my rxnrn-c. Arriving at Hamlet,
Dummy ua- requested to alight, >-ince
rule- wrrv strict about transporting'
tii.mpv. Dummy suddenly regained'
h " \c?al organs and "cussed a blue;
s 1 reak."
There is another type of citizen;
who sometimes suffers from amnesia, l
or loss of memory. He is the fellow
who gets on a spree and cannot remember
a thing except those tilings
he doesn't want to forget. Kick a
drunk man in the seat of his pants
and he'll remember it until his dying
day.?Monro? Enquirer.

Hog Cholera Is , [
Reported In County
Th$ro hove been several recent outbreaks
of hog cholera in the county
and thd# it* to urge all hog owners
who have not had their hog* and pigs
vaccinated to do so as soon as possible.
.
None of these outbreaks have been
allowed to spread very far due to $he
fact that the owners of these hoys
have gotten in touch with your county
agent just as soon as the sickness
was noticed and arrangements were
made, for getting all the hogs in that
community vaccinated immediately.
However, the majority of the herd of
hogs where tho outbreak starts is
usually lost beforo treatment can be
administered. Within the past one
'or two years hog cholera losses have
been cut down a great deal in Kershaw
countj* duo to tho splendid cooperation
the farmers have given in
this matter, but, the ultimate aim is
to efadicato cholera from our county
as, nearly 100 per cent, as possible.
This can be done by each farmer having
his pigs vaccinated when they are
about six or sevcp weeks of age or
just about a week before weening.
This age is best because it gives early
insurance throughout the life of the
hog and costs less because less serum
and virus is required for a small pig
than for a shoat or larger hog.
In event of outbreaks of cholera
our farmers are urged to get in
touch with the county agent immediately.
