THINK IT OVER!
* .
Two weeks ago we editorially huh* j
geatcd the closing of soft1 drink stands
and beer Hardens during the vhoy.r&
of worship ouch Sunday, 1 hot editorial
was written in response to
what we believed to be a growings
sentiment, especially among churq^f-j
going people of this community, (hat
these places should remain closed on j
Sundays while Sunday 'school and!
church services are in progress. So j
far, we have not noticed that our suggestion
has been considered by the
operators of the places in question,
Quite a number of people have expressed
their approval of what we
had to say, but it does not appear
that the soda fountain!* and beer bars
feel inclined to heed.
We hope that the folks who are
running these place* will seriously
consider this matter. A few hours
closing on Sunday morning will not
hurt them appreciably surely, and it
will, we believe, have a good effect.
Think it over!
THE FAIR
?l
The people over the county will be
glad to know that the Kershaw
County Fair, .which has grown to be
an institution, will be continued and
that those in charge are laying plans,
to make this year's fair the largest
wc have ever had. Thousands would
have been keenly disappointed if it i
had not been undertaken again this
year. We predict for It a great sue-}
ce--. The . management deserves and j
will have the en italic support of i
the people all over the county.

HE AROSE TO THE OCCASION
Cashier of a small t,uwn bank out j
in Kansas, in an emergency, thatj
would have taxed the resourcefulness i
ami versatility of any man, handled i
the bank bandit and kidnaping question
in a manner entirely satisfactory
to the ends of society and justice.
He and his wife, both comparatively
young people, worki*d in a county
unit of a state bank at Altamont,
Kansas. Ooing to work a few mornings
ago they detected a couple of
suspicious looking men on the streets.
As they entered the bank the cashier
went first and secreted himself in the
rear with a rifle. His wife, shortly
after reaching her cage, was ordered
to "stick 'em up," which she did.
The bandits then decided to kidnap j
her. The husband from his concealed i
'position, began using the rifle effect-,
ivclv. He brought down one of the
bandits while the .ether used the
cashier's wife as a screen from the j
r j He fire. Hut the cashier demon-'
strated his marksmanship as well as
h;s levelheadedness by managing to
-hoot the kidnaping bandit in the
heart, kiliing him instantly. The
w?iu!d-be looters were esot^petf ^con-j
\icts. A few more such handlings of
1 wind its and kidnapers on the part of
prospective victims would check their
operations.?Spartanburg Journal.
A COMMENDABLE STAND
In The Era today we print an editorial
from The Camden Chronicle
under the heading. "Close For
<*hurch Hour," in which the plea is
made for the suspension of business
on the Sabbath day during the two
hours given to Sunday school and
church services.
The editorial is not reproduced in
The. Era because of any application
it may have to Kershaw. Be it said .
to the credit of this town that none,
< f its business'houses open for traf-j
at any hour on Sundays, the <\-i

? Kershaw Era.
Capital Observations
(Special Oorreapondeivce)
Washington, July 18.?Within the
Inst few ytvurn the appearance of
Washington has changed greatly in
some sections. Many large hotels and
office buildings have bcFn erected,
and the city has. spread out on all
sides except on the south-west, where ,
it is bounded by the I'otomac river.
There are' no sky-scrapers here, as
I the building of structures more than
twelve or fourteen stories high .is
' prohibited. Along Pennsylvania avoLjWie
the historic national thoroughj
fare, the federal government has secuit<t
possession <f all the property
on the south side between the treasury
building and the capitol, a distance
of more than a mile. On this
stretch there are now some public
buildings, others are being built, and
some of tl\,e space will be utilized as
small parks.
In the make-up of the president's
cabinet the two United States senators
from California scored heavily.
The appointment of P, C. Roper as
secretary of commerce has been credited
to Senator William CI. McAd$>,
and doubtless correctly so attributed.
Senator Hirnm W. Johnson is considered
as responsible for the appointment
of Harold L. Ickes as secretary
I of the interior. Johnson ran as vice
presidential candidate on the bull
moose ticket with Theodore Roosevelt
in 1012, and while elected as a republican
senator, he consistently opposed
the administration of Harding,
Coolidge and JIonveA especially the
latter. Last year he actively supported
Franklin 1>. Roosevelt, and did a
great deal on the Pacific coast t<> advance
the interests of the Democratic
candidate, who doubtless felt under
considerable obligations to him. Secretary
L kus supported ILuosevdt in
the presidential campaign last year, .
but previous to that he had never
beeit m accord with the Democratic
party. In 1021 he managed the preliminaries
in the efforts for the nominWion
of Hiram Johnson as Republican
candidate for president, and was
connected with various other progressive
activities. He is a lawyer by
profession, fifty-nine years of age
and is considered a very able man.
He hails from Illinois, and his wife is
now a member of the legislature of
that state, elected as a Republican.
Legislation vested far greater importance
than was at first considered
in the Federal Home Loan Bank
board, of which Hon. W. F. Stevenson
is chairman. The purpose of the law
creating the board was for the relief
of home owners who might be in danger
of losing their property because
of inability to meet payments, and a
vast sum is provided for that object.
There is authority for the issuance of
bonds up to $2,001)J>00,01)0, to run for
eighteen years, with interest at the
rate of f<>ur per cent. The bond^will
be traded to the holders of mortgages
on homes, not to exceed $20,oou
in value, and the government
guarantees the interest. Home owners
will be alfordeil opportunity to
redeem their homes, and to hold
them with a long period in which to
make payments. There will be
branches in every state to handle^the
business" locally. Mr. Stevenson is
proving loyal to his state and his
party in making appointments, which
need not be restricted to civil service
eiigiblcs. He is making every effort
to employ the most suitable jversonnel,
but has said frankly that "Naturally
we are not choosing Republicans
to carry out the policies of a
Democratic administration." The
secretary of the 'board Mr. A. E.
Hutchison, who was secretary to Mr.
Stevenson during the entire time the
latter was in Congress, and other
South Carolinians have been placed
in important positions. Of course
nearly all of those connected with the
h ;>ir.c-s are in the field service, at
t ho local offices.

e-iure as to appointment to- be
changed it would bo necessary for a
r,ew law to be passed by congress.!
and President Roosevelt has express- J
ed hi- intention l?> -cek legislation to
that effect. -<> that all postmasters,
w.ll have a . \ ;1 -? rvico status, and [
not be subject to change after a fouri
year term. It is problematical how
the matter w.ll be viewed by congross.
This much is practically certain,
that there will rot be ar.y j

of lucrative p<<-t offices are ir. the

1
Republicans are ugair. ir. power, :f
fh?-y ever arc again, the law would
have to bo changed again to relieve
the Democratic post masters of the.r
ciwi service standing, and that might
be difficult to manage. Twelve
years ago with the incoming of a
Republican administration they grabbed
everything possible in the way of
political appointments, and naturally
the iMfnocrats are determined to s?cure^frf
that they can.

Much Work Done At
"Wildwood Manor"
1 *
Blanoy, iJ. C., July 18.?The const*
rvwticm camp at 14Wildwood Man,oi"
after about two weeks of actual construction
work on the mess hall now
has this building about ready for
occupancy. The end of this week will
likely see the first meals served in
the mess hall, a large, spacious, oblong
shaped building. The men are
glad to exchange the outdoor eating
tables for this comfortable dining
hall will be used some as a reading
and writing room for the men. Oh
Kt iday night a house-warming for the
opening will take place in the form
of a dance, with the officers and men
entertaining a fairly large group of
young jH-oplo from the surrounding
towns a country. The date of the
occasion has been changed from
Wednesday night due to Friday night
being more convenient.
In addition to the mesa hall, a
warehouse to store and keep on hand
supplies for daily use has been completed.
A well has been dug during
the last ten 4ay? aiu* tt water tank
has been put up. At present the men
have been bathing in the spill of the
swimming pool and they will welcome
shower baths which will aoon be provided.
A section of foresters has
been setting up telephone poles in
the direction of Camden and this
work and the wiring has provided
this section with telephone facilities.
Electric lighting has not become a
reality yet^but there is a chanco of
the camp being connected with the
lines and of its having these ^conveniences.
A flag-pole stands near the
headquarters house and the United
States flag may be seen floating in
the summer breezes.
Monday mgkff July^lTth, a gathering
of men at the camp listened to]
the addresses by President Roosevi It
and some of his cabinet members to
the conservation corps over the radio.
The president spoke .of the men adjusting
themselves so well to the
work in the camp and woods and
urged this kind of difficult work as.
part of the game making for success.
Ho spoke further of the valuable
lessons learned in the forests already
and of the benefits to result to the
men themselves, to their families and
to their community and nation from'
carrying out the reforestation pro- \
gram.
On Wednesday night, July 12th, the
second mid-weekly service was held. J
In spite of the cloudy weather and j
rather cool atmosphere the meeting
went on with the orchestra assembling
under one of the lights near the headquarters
house and the men gathering
around to sing some familiar selections
and several hymns. A short
talk on ''Building Courageously a Life
With a Foundation and a Goal" was
given by Edwin C. Kennedy.
On Thursday. July 13. the camp
was favored with a visit by Captain
L. ('. LaMotte. chaplain of the various
camps in the Fort Moultrie District
who has headquarters at Fort Moultrie.
That night he conducted a sor.g
service around a camp fire and gave
to the men a most instructive and
helpful sermon. The captain took as
his text Psalm 1, verse 3: "And he
shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water." While here he
spoke to some of the men personally
and helped with the organization of
some of the religious work. The reaction
to his sermon and to his presence
with the men was good.

NEWS IS ALWAYS PLENTIFUL
"You will neod aomething to fill up
fhe paper," is an expression more or
loss familiar to all newspaper men.
This idea originated ptore than a
hundred years ago when there were
l-no railroads and telegraphs and the
' slow/ lumbering stage coach was the
only means of transmitting news.
Today it is quite different. The
editor's ,hardest job is selecting from
I the yearns of news matter that comes
to tos desk the articles in which his !
'readers nv?U interested.
If the layman could get h glimpse
|?.f the mass of material that piles up
op an editor's desk in the course,pf
la <l,ay or a week he would bo amazed.
If. he had to read it all he would be
bewildered. And not infrequently articles
of an intensely personal nature
come in that would make him gasp
with astonishment.
A newspaper office is a clearing
house for the public's joys and sorrows,
its misfortunes and good fortunes,
its impulses and emotions, and
the pet schemes of groups and individuals.
There is no lack of news to
publish. The big problem is what not
to publish.?.Dillon Herald. ?
ONE WAY TO STOP BANDITS
Kansas Cashier Shoots Two As They
/ Attempt Bank Holdup.
h \
Parsons, Kansas?Cooly and with
deadly marksmanship, Cashier Isaac
McCarty, 35, shot down two bank
robbers in the Labette County State
bank at Altamont Friday and saved
his wife from being kidnaped or
slain.
As one of the holdup men, Kenneth
Conn, escaped convict, crouched
behind a counter using Mrs. McCarty
as a shield, the 35-year-old cashier
leveled a rifle from a concealed
position above the bank vault and
j shot Conn under the heart, killing
! him instantly.
A moment before McCarty had fired
a charge from a shotgun which
brought down Conn's companion, AlI
vin Payton, with wounds in the head
which may prove fatal.
Both of the men were among the
11 who escaped from the Kansas penitentiary
Memorial day 'by kidnaping
the warden, Kirk Prather.
The robbers had planned to kidnap
Mrs. McCarty in making their escape,
and Conn threatened to kill her unless
the firing ceased after Payton
was shot. She was uninjured.
"My husband always said he would
shoot to kill if he got a chance at a
bandit in our bank," said Mrs. McCarty,
attractive 27-year-old brunette.
"But I didn't believe he would
I do it. Now I know he would and I
am proud of him."
The suspicions of the cashier and
I his wife, also an employ of the bank,
were aroused when they arrived to
open the institution this morning and
saw two men driving-down the street.
"There's just a 100 to 1 chance
that those fellows are bandits," McCarty
said. "I'll go back and get
ready for them."

Heavy Rainfall Thursday
Beginning around six o'clock Thursday
morning Camden was visited by
one of the heaviest downpours of i
rain that has been seen here in sev- j

gauge showed that 3.85 inches fell
within a period of two hours. Quite
a bit of electrical disturbance accom-.
panied the heavy rain also but no'
reports of its striking hereabouts has |
been reported.
