"Dear Sir: I received an invitation pamphlet for the festivities in com| me mo ration of the Bi-Centennial of your historic city. | "As a descendant of the gallant Revolutionary War officer, Barcm de Kalb, who met his death in the fatal struggle at Camden on the 16th of August, 1780, I feel obliged to send to you. as the official representative of that city, my heartiest congratulations on account of its Bi-CentenniaL "Words of thanks transmitted my dying ancestor by his aide-de-champ f)u Buysson to his officers and soldiers, words of thanks, I ask you, deer, flir, to transmit in these days of commemoration, to the citizens of Camden who honored the memory of General Kalb by the erection of a monument over his grave in 1826, from his descendant coming from the same birthplace as the General.

' V. - 1 "Editor Camden Chronicle: I would very much like to have the privilege through yourr columns to thank the person, who, after eo many years? twenty-one years to be exact?was so thoughtful as to send me one of the 'Bi-Centennial Programs.' "I can assure you R made me very happy and today I've lived over all the happy days spent there in childhood. "Thanking you for this courtesy, j I Miles Whips ' . Fat Flaherty ltufus Miles, of Charlotte, a cockey miikileweight, easily woo a ?ix round : bout at tho Camden Opera Houae by i giving Pat Flirty, of Savannah, i a boxing lessen. Milea came in i the ring weighing 150V? pounds, spotting his opponent 2 pounds. With the ] Reception of the third round, which i was about even, the Charlotte boxer i slapped his opponent about at will. Mile* is by no means a world beater, ' or a boxer of championship caliber, t but he has plenty of confidence in the *< ring. Such confidence did more to i win than his ability to hit. Flaherty ? is a Strang lad who can stand plenty of bekting. The bout "between Joe Lipps, of Charlotte, and Karl Knowles, of Miami. Fla., proved a more interesting ' fight. Knowlos is a boxer of quite some ability, and is a hard hitter, lie has a beautiful left hook.^, For five rounds he smacked the Charlotte: boy about the rir.g, so much so ho, became tired through his own efforts. J L;pps was able to discover this when ' he went to his corner ending the fifth' round. In the final round Lipps sail-i cJ into his rival and gave him a past- ' mg that had the crowd shouting for | a knock out.- Knowles won the bouti on his big advantage gained in the! early rounds. j In a four-round bout, "Red" Jen-' nings, announced as a member of j Ram's Head Stables, took on "Boo" Johnson, of Savannah. "Red" found out that he was built better for box stalling than box fighting. One round was enough to convince "Red" of that. Swapping .punches proved not to be swapping'horses. The bouts Were attended by a fairly large crowd. Several visitors here for the race meet were present to enjoy the sport. 1 am, "Very respectfully, "Anna Belle Hinson Watkins. "New York City, March 17, 1933." "Hon. R. M. Kennedy, Jr., Mayor, City of Camden, S. C. My dear Sir: I have been very much complimented and gratified by receipt of a very handsome invitation to attend the home-coming celebration of Camden's 200th birthday. Lt has been so long since I left that I did not think that anyone now there knew of me or of my whereabouts. "But in any of these long years, and ip any of the various parts of these United States where the course of 56 years of Railway service has led me, no mention and no recollection of Camden but has struck a responsive chord in my heart and memory. For it was there that 1 grew to young manhood; "where I had the example of I men and women of high ideals and high living; where I found and loved and Wed the finest example of womanhood who ever lived, who blessed my existence for 62 years; where all of my children were born, i "My compliments to you, tp the dear old town and best wishes for its future.

In spits yt the i relit; blasts thai swept the show ring uxl ouUitle couise, there a fairly ergo gallery to greet the hunters, iumpera and ponies, pot forgetting ,he thoroughbred *uulee of doubtful image., The most ribbons were dia- . :ributed to Mr.1 ami Mrs. George P. Greenhalgh, of Toledo, Ohio. The 'Buckeye State" exhibitors took two )luea, one in the model hunters, shown n hand. Tjdfis class was divided into ight ?md &>avy weights. The heavyweight division was won by C. K. Kasett's chestnut gelding, "Peacock;" Matching Seng," owned by Mr. CirectthiUgh, second; and "l>on H." third. Mr. Greenhalgh'* "Better Off" took the blue in the lightweight division, and followed it up in the next class by capturing the middle and heavyweight hunter class over tl)e outside course. Mis?

Samuel Russell was second wheat his chestnut marc was awarded the red, while Ward Belcher's "Kate Carew" was third.

This stubborn classic ? was won by a sleek and speedy mule answering to the name of "Ella Bell," ' one of the prides of David R. Wil1 isms' stable. "Ella Bell" galloped off with the $7.00 stake, after a gruelling heat m which she nosed out Ward C Belcher's doubtful "George." "Dad," owned byv?

When a prominent banker was asked where this money came from, I his reply was, "From the pockets and the hoardings of the people." No I one would imagine that this amount of cash was in hoarding in a town the size of Camden and serving a county the sire of Kershaw. II This brings us to a point vital to the interests of not only The Chronicle, but to every line of business. Since this edict of the Presidenl has "restored confidence and caused many to bring their money I out of hiding, why not let's go and pay up some of what is ow*ed, as far as possible and put business hack to norma ley. The banks can't ~ I Tunction if money is kept in hiding, nor can any other business carry fl on for long. The Chronicle for the past few years has been lenient with its I subscribers who were in arrears. It has hardly collected enough on subscriptions to pay for the blank paper used in producing the issue I each week. We have about reached our limit and we firmlgStiflieve II that, according to the banker's statement, many have been holding out w'on us who cohId have paid. If yon fail to raceive your Chronicle next week you will know by I looking at thp label on this week's paper that your subscription account J is in arrears. - The increase n postage is such that we cannot affort I to tend out statements to each subscriber. Watch your label and if you owe aa remit promptly. It's a new deal! Let's go sad start all bnsiness oa the up-grade! * r ? t i BACK UP ROOSEVELT! West Orange, N. J., Mar. 22.? | ?
