Stores Will Close
Early Saturdays
Beginning' Saturday, April 15. th? ,
stores of Camden will close to t>usi- <
hmi at 10 o'clock on Saturday evenings.
Tfci# announcement cornea aa a
result of a petition circulated by the
local ministers and signed by the
merchants of Camden. The petition
requested that the storee close to
business at ten o'clock and that all
lights be out at eleven o'clock. Practically
every merchant in the city
readily agreed that this would not
decrease the volume of their business
and that it la a sensible thing to d6.
The petition with a list of the business
men signing it "wilt be printed
in the columns o4 this P?pw next
week. It is not published this week
as there are some merchants who
have not yet had the opportunity of
signing it. The hope held in this
petition is that all clerks, employees '
and help may have sufficient rest on
Saturday nights so tha} they may be
hindered in no way from attendance
and participation in divine services on
the Sabbath day. It is earnestly
hoped that all the merchants will
cooperate fully in this effort.

Beer Flows Freely in Charleston.
Charleston, April 8.?The News
and' Courier says that beer went on
sale openly in King street this afternoon
and tonight, and that Charleston's
citizenry struggled "like flies to
a sugar bowl," to buy at 26 cents a
bottle if consumed on the premises or
30 cents if carried away.
The story said the new 3.2 per
cent, beer came rolling into the city
in trucks before sunrise, and was
sokl at several places in the city and
county, with a news stand in the
heart of the retail area doing the biggest
business.
The paper says at one time an alderman,
city magistrate and former
alderman were in the shop at the
same time.
"It's fine," the alderman was quoted
as saying. "I've tasted the best
beer, and some is better than this,
but it suits me for the time being."
"You said It," wa9 the magistrate's
purported reply.
Customers were walking advertisements
as the news spread. Passers-by
stopped to see what the crowd was
about, ami many elbowed their way
into the store when apprised of the
situation.
At this place, the News and Courier
continues, four clerks were kept
"breathless."
The supply was frequently exhausted,
but as often replenished.
Many were buying bottles and even
cases to take home.
Sheriff Joseph M. Poulnot early today
received a telephone call bidding
him:
"I?ok on your back porch."
He did so, to find a case, of the new
beer.
Another official was reported to
have received a similar gift of two
cases.
Sheriff Poulnot said tonight he had
received the brew, but that he had no
information regarding its sale.
