K10KM KNT TO DKPOSITOHS The twelve hundred or more depositors of the Hank of Camden arc rcceiwng ? prfl.osed agreement.which ih?y art' I I'M Of St 0(1 to sign, in which th?v agree t >> take m lieu o ll.o.r dopoot stork in the reorganized bank in the proportion of one share (.>t(?l par value) for each $oO of deposit. the amounts under $t?0 and the: odd amounts to be paid in cash, and to take cash dividends on stock periodically as the assets of the bank; are liquidated until MX) per cent div-, idends has Ixn-n paid. This agreement carries with it too an agreement on the part of the stockholders to pay in f>0 per cent of their stockholders' liability. The members of the committee, j who have been earnestly at work in perfecting plana for the reorganisation, believe the plan set forth in these agreements to be the most feasible plan for the reorganization of Camden's oldest banking institution, and it is sincerely hoped that the depositors, as well as the stockholders, will promptly fall in line, executing; and returning the agreement without| delay, in order that the plans for the j reorganization of the bank and it?_ impelling on an unrestriete^busis may thereupon go speedily forward.1 The citizens of the community appear to U united in their desire to see the t,f Camden again operating without strings. The large part it has had in the building of CMmden and tins section has made for it, thousands of friends who are eageily watch.ng for its complete rehabilitation. which will be assured if the depositors and stockholders will cooperate fully. INANSWEKAHLK ComitWnting on teachers getting no ; pay. "Teacher" in Sunday's State remarks: "I may be dumib, but what I can't understand is why other state officers are paid and the teacher is left a beggar." No. friend, and nobody else can understand it. The state owes the teachers just like it owes its other, employees, and it has always appealed to us as .being just that if one employee ^n't be paid, others should not be paid. H is bad for anybody to go without pay, hut it is certainly no worse for one than another.?Bam-; berg Herald. - ' Kasy to understand, brother.

Washington, Juno 13.?In accordance -with a custom existing for Severn I years a pme of base bull wan played on Saturday afternoon between Republican members of the House of Representatives and the Democrats, the proceeds being devoted t.? the needy of the District of Columbia, of which there are tens of thousands. The game lasted three hours and was won IS to It! by the Republican-, who also were victori-i ous last year. While .there was no! high grade playing, the event was interesting and there were many' amusing incidents. Congressman Richards played short stop for the! Democrats, and acquitted himself admirably, reviving feats of his earlier days in the game. He was in a mix-up at second has? while running, several piling up together/but appeared to be none the worse for the encounter. It first appeared that he was safe, but later was declared out. Afterwards he stated that some one had tripped him up, the umpire or some Republican. By the way, ho has acquired up here generally the nickname of "Dick" Richards. South (Carolina was represented on the team also by Congressman Tom McMillan of Charleston. Congress was all sot and anxious to adjourn Saturday night, but the extra session could not be brought to a close because tho Senate had noj^ passed upon some important legislation. Opportunity ^jas desired alko to consider the proposal of the president for the consolidation and abolishment of a number of government agencies, which it is believed will WTThe riTeans of saving millions of dorlars annually. Owing to the great press of urgent business the scheme could not be presented until Saturday, l.'nder a law already enacted the president is au-1 t hoi i/.ed to make the changes, which j doubtless, will duly go into effect unless adverse action is taken by Congress. hut this is not regarded as possible. Charles 10. Jackson, formerly secretary to Senator Smith, was duly appointed and has assumed the duties of assistant commissioner of the Bureau of Fisheries. The position is of considerable \ importance, and is one of the few that have so far been awarded to South Carolina. Mr. Jackson is capable, a worthy representative of the State, and is fully deserving of the recognition that has been accorded to him. The humane and generous treatment of the bonus expeditionary force that assembled here again the latter part of last month, was in most i marked contrast with the brutal j method adopted la-t summer, when hy | order of Hoover, then president, tho| men were driven ?>ut of the city by military force from the United State?5! army, under the command of the highest officer, the chief of staff o.f ' the army. Such an elaborate display i- < nt rely unne. -ai y. and the. bruta.Jty cxhib.ted rightly reverted j to the odium of 'he p'-rpetraters, who | had vi!:itied and slandered the men as | vome me'ext for the infamous procedure. This year the Roosevelt ad- j ministration found legal means toi shelter and provide three square meals a day for the men. encamped a few miles outside of Washington on aj government reservation. Those who were fit and who desired were enroll- ' ed"-ai the civilian conservation corps, I and those who wished to return home were provided with the necessary railroad ticket, and given a Godspeed from the administration. Having concluded to appoint a woman as a member of his cabinet, President Roosevelt was necessarily limited in material from which a sohvtion might be made because of the >rav> thus far at lea>t of women prominent in national affairs.
