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.

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-;

"Dick" Richards j
Gets 'Tripped Up"
(Special tX>rreiMK>mience.)
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. The
