gggg^ggaBaaaasBssBssmBBssssssssssssss^ News of The Camp In West Wateree i j11 i i { Hlaney, July 17. After the stqrmy weather of last week Olil S?ul is tujain bearing down an us steadily. Quite Cy a bit of washing Was done to. the road last week in process of being built as the rains, descended upon us. The men work i tig on the road have been having* a somewhat difficult grade and curve to make good. Ditches, tills ami all were dtumtged; very often the men returned the next morning U* see most of their wutk gone for nothing. Hut with these dry, hot days we will soon tie driving out on our new road. There are rumors that this same section of men will build unother strip of road somewhere in the county, Last. Wednesday afternoon will linger in our minds quite a while, for on that afternoon we had the worst rain and wind storm we have experi* . en cod during out* encampment. The wind tore through the trees and the rain fell for about an hour. W hat men were in the immcdicate vicinity J of the camp rushed to give their at- i tcntion to their tents. The tent tlaptj began to fly in the air and the tents; rocked, as the men in a good many J , H-.es were not prepared lor such a; storm. Il-.ldirur the tents and putting j the in up age in. were trying occasions,: hut we have one man who was ill-, spired by the occasion to write ai poem, "Falling Tents." Monroe, Tucker, of Freston, S. ('.. who is also! a guitar player, ha,- composed these I lines: "Tents are falling, men are calling For some help to hold them down; Captains sending, men are lending A very helpful hand, Stormy weather, hands together We may save a few things yet; o o Please don't hinder, lest 1 linger. And my all and all get wet. My tent is falling, hear them calling. Won't somebody help me now? The wind is blowing, my bunk is floating. And my clothes are wet (and how?) Now the evening brings the ceasing Of this rapid falling rain. Stormy weather all together We may have won a little fame." Sunday morning about 21 of us i fellows went into Camden on ourj truck to Sunday school and church services there. We enjoyed doing this very mu^h and when we got back we found a fine dinner awaiting us. About thirty stayed at camp' during the week end. Fire hazards are Wing made not, far from the camp. All trees and j underbrush are being cut out en a stretch fifty feet wide and should a fire break out, this open space would put a stop to the fire in a large number of cases. Since Monday we have been eating in our new mess hall. The K. P.'s are kept quite busy. Some of the boys are still having trouble with'poison oak. but this is responding to treatment. We don't have a name for our camp yet. but understand that one will be i selected soon with some historical, significance attached to the name. j Fdwin C. Kennedy, camp reporter.

Swapping Of Cotton Patches Not Allowed Before certificate# of performance can be executed through the county agent** office it will be ubnolutely neeeasary that the cotton to be deatroycd as represented in the producer'# contract must be destroyed in entirety, beyond any possibility of yielding cotton in any amount. The acreage offered in the contract to be destroyed has been accepted and purchased by the government and it now belongs to the government and it will be a federal offense for anyone to gather or remove any lint seed cotton or seed in any Hhape or form fcrom the acreage designated to he destroyed. Anyone gathering immature cotton bolls will be prqjecuted to the fullest extent of the. fedorpj law. "?V The swapping of patches or fields of cotton to be destroyed is absolutely prohibited and forbidden. h^rmeis destroying cotton other than that definitely designated in their contracts with the United States Secretary of Agriculture do so at their own risk as cotton so destroyed flf||l?not be paid for. Moreover, the farmer will bo required to destroy that acreage designated in his contract. It should be remembered, however, that the farmers are permitted to use the cotton plant as hay for feed for home consumption, but even this is n??t to be put on a public market. Many farmers are plowing up their cotton at this, lime in such a manner that it is not completely destroyed and if left alone as it now is would make some yield of lint cotton, which, if* gathered and put'on the market, would tend to'defeat the purpose of the campaign, and of course would react against our cotton farmers as a whole. This article is intended only for the best interest of the honest farmers, and 1 believe that our farmers will accept it as such and appreciate this effort to safeguard their interest. It is my desire to cooperate"" in every way possible and as fair as possible with every farmer in the county, and in this connection I am leaving the method of destroying the contracted cotton entirely to the farmer with only one provision and that is that cotton must be entirely destroyed beyond any possibility of making lint. In some cases where farmers aic late in destroying their cotton some of this may be open. This should be guarded very closely to see that absolutely none of such cotton be gath-. ered, even by marauders. A farmer having such cotton and allowing it to open, which cotton belongs to the United States Secretary of Agriculture, will be held liable for the gathering of any such cotton, even by parties unknown to him, ' advises llenry I>.

C., July 30.?Spur-1. red by the death of one victim of yesterday's attempted bank holdup here, officers and possemen today re-1 doubled their efforts to capture two1? members of the bandit gang who re- ' /l , mained at large, but without success. T. C. Barnes, 45-year-old cashier of the Merchants and Farmers Bank , here, died in a >Statesvillo hospital i early today from abdomen and lung|< wounds inflicted by members of a ' band of four men who started shooting without explanation even before ; their demands that the bank's money i be handed over could be complied ' with. i Solon Little, assistant cashier, remained in a critical condition from1 a wound in the abdomen, although ' Dr. James W. Davis, hospital physician, said hope for his recovery was raised by the fact he appeared to be holding his o&n. Two men, R. E. Black, of High Point, a former city employe there with no criminal record, apd a man said to be Mike Stevenold, of North Wilkesboro, were captured and taken to Winston-Salem for safekeeping a few hours after the shooting. Officers quoted Black as admitting J he was a member of the bandit band j jtnd saying he had three companions. ; Black, officers said. submitted peace- j fuliy. saying: "I got in a bad mess : and they'd get me sooner or later.". Report- were current here and at' I Winston-Salem that a third mt>n had , been taken to the Forsyth county-jail as a suspect, but Winston-Salem officers denied knowledge of why the. third man was brought to them late last night, and officers here said no additional arrests had been made in connection with the holdup. At the office of Sheriff H. Lynn Mays here it was said late today that I the ,-carch was continuing in the mountains of Caldwell and Wilkes count :e.?. with several hundred posse men still active, but that no clues had been found as to the whereaibouts of the fugitives. Black, officers said, denied he knew the names of his companions, saying he just "ran into them" while looking for work here. Authorities, however, said they believed they know the identities of the fugitives.

Names of contributors | will never bo printed?unless desired. Just sign "pen name," together with your own name and address, the latter for our information only. We are glad that a contribution to last week's "column" brought up the question of "contributions" to the j "Chronicle of the Week." "Contributions to this column are. most welcome." We cannot make | that too emphatic, and none are more J welcome than those from our fellow- j citizens of Camden. In fact, the "Chronicle of the Week" was designed j to be a reflection of some of the as- j pects of the life of Camden, and from the first the het^ty encouragement accorded us by Camden people of suggestions and articles has-been of the greatest help. This column is not "exclusively for; tourist news;" far from it. The award of a year's subscription to The Chronicle for the best contribution of the season went to a resident of Camden, Mrs. N. C. Arnett, and we were recently favored by another delightful article from the pen of this gifted Southern lady. Others who have honored us with their contributions or in various other ways have been Mr. H. D. Niles, Mr. J Thomas Ancrum; Professor Robert M. Kennedy, Mr. Thomas J. Kirkland, Mrs. C. P. DuBose, Mr. Willis Cantey, H Miss E. W. Alexander, Mr. A. Dalton I j Kennedy and Mrs. W. D. Trantham. I Our correspondent aptly says that I the "Chronicle of the Week" is a I ] splendid way for the quests of Cam- H| den and th^ home-town people "to I i have a real old-fashioned get-together Hj and" learn more about each other. That is one of the aims of this I column, and all that is needed is a still wider and fuller use by the peo- Hi pie of Camden of the Forum thus I ; provided. We are thankful to say that this I column is already attracting atten- H tion from beyond the confines of the I i city and state where it is published H (due to its contributors).
