Boy kin, of Camden, who are. spending the summer in the Abbott ; cottage, took the. Sagamore Hotel, manager and his assistant, Denny Hunt, completely by surprise on last Thursday morning. By u clever bit of maneuvering, aa&iateU by a well trained advance, guard, Newton Boykin, Jr., M?Kee Boykin and Cullen Capar^, usht?f ed themselves into the dmi.ng room, trailed by such well- I kn<<wn and puular Camdehites as Mrs Gaylord Tucker, Mrs. Woods Robin-j i-<?n, Mrs. Dalton Kennedy.

Lucas varied his program to suit the occasion by rendering such popular old southern tunes a.- "My Die Kentucky Home," "f arry Me Back to Die Virginny," "Carolina" and "Die Black Joe." Everybody watched to see if any of Mrs. Boy kin's visitors shed any tears of homesickness, but it was discovered that nobody wanted to leave, all being perfectly satisfied, so the old favorite, "O Dry Them Tears" was omitted. Mrs. Tucker, as all Camdenites know, is especially interested in the ponies. In order to he near the'thoroughbreds as possible during the month of August her place of abode is none other than Saratoga, where the ponies run close and the bookmakers closer. Of course Mr. Abbott expects to have some of the f'amden visitors back and both Misse* Kennedy and Robinson are invited to witness t lie Sagamore Tennis Tournament starting Augu-t !?' . They have* been invis-d to attend the tenthdance on the show boat and a special invitation to be at the tennis hall he i.- giving for the players in hi- newly. (!' < orated Fn n-. h Grill. Historic Lake George I.ake George, a- the student of Anon, an history is aware, ha- a nio-t unique historical ba-he round. I/or.g befoi e the Revolution and even iH'fore Geo! ge Wa.-hmgton started to earvt his early career by ha king down cherry trees and ruling spirited colts, the hearty colonists in northeastern New York were in a bitter struggle aiding the British soldiers battle the French amL-dmlian.s then attempting to get control of all NewYork along with the New Fngland colonies. Canada was the stronghold of the French. Such cities as Quebec and Montreal were the central points of concentration for the French armies under General Montcalm, who sent expedition* to attack and capture the straetie points along Lake Champlain ' and Igike George. Lake Champlain ] wa> discovered in 160P by the French] explorer Samuel Champhtin, who also exph-red the upper regions of the St. Lawn-nee river and several of the <?r?-at Igikes.

Perhaps Qie most bloody year of the long drawn out battle between the French and Indiana on one side and the British and colonists on the other was in 1758. No quarter was spared to gain possession of the territory involved by cither side. Major Robert Rodgers played a most important |>art in that struggle. Many battles were fought along the banks of Lake George on snow shoes, the only mode of travel during the frigid winter months. loiter over the same roads and trails colonial soldiers marched on to, Quebec to aid General W??lffe in the j .rapture of the French stronghold and tiiu^ give the British undisputed 1 reign of all ea-tern Canada. Both j Lieneial.-. WollTo and Monteplm were j killed during the bloody engagement. J The Briti-h surprised the French by -raln.g the Heights of Abraham, a steep [>ioinont"jy, and attacking Que- i be ' :n the lea) . The l.akes During the Revolution With the capture of Quebec and the fa!! - f the French in Canada, both | Fake Champlain and Lake George rourvtty enjoyed peace and prosperity, until the Revolutionary War, 1775.'] Soon after the Battle of Bunker Hill, Boston, F.athen Allen and his famous Green Mountain Boys swept down fr<?m ('a! Coolidge's Vermont hill anil captured Fort Ticonderoga in the name of the Continental Army. This was a real military blow to the British operating*??tit of Canada. In 1777 General Burgoyne attempted to join the British forces in New York and in marching down the roads and trails of I>age George turned eastward towards Albany. At Saratoga General Burgoyne met a strong force of Continental.s'Aindor Gates and was not only defeated but forced to surrender. That battle was really looked upon by historians as the turning point of the Revolution. Later on George Washington visited Glen Fails, only ? dozen miles from Lake George village. A* this article is being written, no less a personage than Chief Justice Charles Kvans Hughes, of the United States Supreme Court, is residing at the Sagamore Hotel. The Chief Justice is a native of Glen Falls and has -pent many summers here'during the ;me h? was Governor "f the State < f New York. Only a few miles from The Sagamore "Teddy" Roosevelt was -worn in as President. The ceremony took place at Nowcomb Fake. l:??F Fake Champlain again figured in the anna!- of American history in the War of 1?1 'J when MoDonough defeated a British fleet in IHM. That naval battle blocked the British from gaining possession of the lake and ended all attempts of invasion from Canada. There were several other engagements such as the Battle of Lake Krie, Lundy's Lane, Sackett's Harbor and minor battles. Southerners will be interested to know that John Brown lies buried only a short distance from Lake George. His body reposes near Iaike Placid and on the tombstone is marked: "John Brown, 1859." Beautiful Fake George Has ing travelled pretty much of the world and wandered into places far off the beaten track, it has been my opportunity t<? visit many of the Ink'--, -eldom traversed by the tourists. For a long time I never dreamed a lake more beautiful than Fake 1 : t ic:i; a ur.-eh lies bet ween Peru and p..I.via. Th.s lake is the highest r.avigabii b<dv of water in the world. .f.-itet h:r.g ike 1*2.000 feet above sea '. ,.!

It i? a spring-fed lake and in many places exceedingly deep, often reaching a depth of 40 fathoms. In and about the lake are many small bays and fiords. Many of the mountain passes run straight down to the water s edge. The lake is wel^kprotected and forested. Giant pines, lofty birches and towering elms adorn the watershed. Game is still plentiful. ,Jt is not an unusual sight when motorboating along the shores to see half a dozen or mqre deer drinking or feeding. .Some of the deer become so tame they" will stand in the water within stone throw arid gaze at a boat tilled with passengers and never so much as bat an eye-lash. Like the natives they seem to welcome the strangers to their abode. There is also plenty of good fishing in Lake George. l-ake trout weighing as much as 15 to JO pounds are often taken. Pike and pickerel are f.iur.d in sbme parts ?>f the lake, while bass, perch and rock bass are still I fairly plentiful. A few weeks ago ; Newton Boykin hooked a 7-pound pickerel, one of the largest caught this season. "Motor boating is a great sport. Many of the fastest boats in the I country can be seen speeding about I tuning* up for some coming event, j The fastest.boat on the lake is El Le| gar to, owned by George Reis, who i has won many of the most important | races in America including the pre?I ident's gold cup. j Lake George boasts of nearly 200 1 islands, the largest and prettiest be! ing Green Island, a few hundred feet Off the shore from Bolton landing, j Up until half a century ago few of i the islands were inhabited other than i for some fishermen and a few'travelers who pitched their tents there, j Here and there was a shack. Before j Lake George became famous as a ! summer resort Indians still roamed j ab<>ut. ' Many of the older inhabli tants remember canoe loads of In{dians coming down from the Canadian woods disembarking at Isake George village where they made their I home. i Fully a century ago summer visitors from many parts of the country began to come to I^ike George. Sevi oral hotels and boarding houses were | erected. Fifty years ago several gentlemen from Philadelphia and a I resident of Bolton Landing met in a I boat house and planned to build a ; hotel on Green Island. The hotel was icallod the Sagamore. It was opened in .July lSS.'l. The hote.l proved a big : v'uecess, and brought many well known people there. Ten years later ithe hotel was destroyed by fire and j immediately anothetvand more up-toi.date one was "built. For thirty-one jyears it was perhaps the most fashI tollable summer hotel in the country. I Among the well known guests were j Charles Evans Hughes, then goveri nor of the state of New York. Mr. , Hughes, who is now chief justice of the U. S. Supreme Court is today a guest. Others were Admiral Schley, hero of the battle of Santiago, of the Spanish-American war; Richmond P. Hobson, of the Merrimac fame; .Judge Simon Rosendale, of Albany; Spencer Trask, then head of the famous stock brokerage house that still bears his name and many others. Among those acquainted with the celebrities and well known to Camden, I were Mr. Stark, the photographer and others now at Igike George.

Rowell's Shoe Shop f I I Negro Commits Hukkte Sumter, Aug. 14.?Litty Garfield, 10-year-old negro, of Finewood, shot himself in the head Sunday afternoon at his home, rkther than let the Ku Klux, whom he believed vfere after him, catch him. Several day# before Garfield h^d appealed to Magistrate George Aycock to protect him from the Ku Klux, ,and the magistrate, seeing he was not mentally normal, took him hjomo and "told his family to look after him, at the same time assuring the boy he would not let the Klan get him. Sunday afternoon he got off the porch where several were sr. ' ting and, going into a room, killed hijpis^U by the shot. The pilot and two passenger# were killed in an airplane crash at Providence. Ky., on Sunday. The plane nose dived from an altitude of <'!00 feet. Soviet-made automobiles in considerable numbers are now beginning t? appear1 on the streets of Moscow.
