The two hardware stores each had attractive booths, Mackey Hardware Company using an airport scene; Burns and Barrett's attracted much attention, it being a battleship made of cross-cut saws, clothespins, chains and in fact almost everything sold in a hardware store.. ' The two mills, Wateree and Hermitage, had samples of their products^ attractively displayed, and no doubt enlightened many .of the county's citizens as to just what is made at the local cotton mills. Some of the clothing stores of the city showing were: Boston, Eichels, Sheorn's and rfjrsch Brothers. They had fall apd winter garments on display. ' , Home Furnishing Company and the Camden Furniture Company each had electrical goods and model house furnishings for milady's approval.

In this tent on Friday evening Fashion Revue was held, the models being young ladies ""' gentlemen of the city. This was attended by a large crowd and proved one of the best things on the program. Betty Thomas and Phyllis KarJsh gave specialty dances accompanied on the piano by Miss Anne Rowland Mr. and Mrs Samuel Russell and Miss Grace Kellar were judges and their choices met with the audience s approval in almost every selection. First and second prise winners were named in evening dresses, sport clothes, afternoon gowns, rainy weaker costumes and others. Friday was given oyer mainly to the white school children of the county. The parade formed at.the new court house and the children were then marched down Main street where they lined both sides of he streets to witness the fleets go by. They we? admltMtf free to the fair grounds. The Camden va Brookland-Cayce football game furnished entertainment in the afternoon. There was an immense crowd Of Children here for the dayy-every school being SgygjHg** Saturday was ghm over to m (Please ten to U?t P # ) i '* - ' ^ ' " ' ' it Fair Visitor A Victim Of Theft The behuvior at the Kershaw County Fair ijhlji year was out of the ordinary. No rowdyism occurred and the police had nothing much to do. On account of his unwatchfulness, it is said, one visitor from the northern part of the county was fleeced of $140 by two so-called gypsie fdVtune tellers, who got too close to and extracted the wallet, containing ten dollar bills, from his vest pocket before he knew what it was all about. The gypsie women, who are said to have been plying their trade as fortune tellers, as soon as they had fleeced their victim began immediately to get on the move. They were part of a tribe which had encamped north of Dusty Bend, just outside the city limits. The victim was reluctant to tell of his loss and before officers had been notified the nomads had folded their tents, exchanged license plates and silently stolen away. The camp north of Dusty Bend is said to have been ready to move when the "knockdown" occurred and Went on to greener pastures. By the time the officers were advised they had many miles behind them and it is doubtless if they will ever be caught. The theft of an automobile and the auto-fountain crash reported elsewhere were the only other cases reported to the police. Farm Tour Conducted Saturday, October 28th ?>. , A short farm tour is to bo conducted Soturdoy morning, October 28. Only two demonstrations will be visited. Both of these will deal with soil-building. Only about two and one-half or three hours will be required fqr inspecting and studying those two demonstrations. The first will be a study of results obtained from the use of winter legumes such as 'Aystrian peas .and vetch. This will be on the farm of Mr. B. D. Boykfh, who lives just off of the Sumter highway between Cainden ami Boykin. Mr. Boykin was one of the first farmers in the county to begin using those valuable winter legumes and he has received very outstanding results. The demonstration this year is in cotton which followed Austrian peas and vetch which grow | on the land last winter and were turned under this spring. The second phase of the trip will bo an inspection of crotalaria which; ! is now growing on 'Clifford Plantation, which plantation lies between i the Liberty Hill road and the Lan' caster highway Opposite DcKalb station. About 200 acres of crotalaria are now growing on this farm and since previous demonstrations with this summer legume cover crop have proven so valuable and beneficial, it is thought well that our farmers become acquainted with this neW legume without further delay. Much of the 200 acres of crotalaria will average almost shoulder high to a -man. It is growing eft very thin up-land sandy soil. v>There was no soil preparation, no fertilizer and no cultivation. The seed were broadcast. The cotton .Jo be studied at Mr. Boykin's plantation is large, green and well fruited. In fact, much of it is taller than a man while cotton on the same type of soil just across the road which received no Austrian peas or vetch or other legume cover crops is only the ordinary type of cotton which is so common in our county. Every farmer who is interested in improving his condition, building up his soil, making bigger crop y^plds with less commercial fertilizer anjl less cost should by all means4 take time to inspect these two demonstrations. , Every one who goes on this short tour is requested to meet at the court house in Camden- in time to leave the court house not later than 9:30 a. m., advises Henry D. Green county agent. Barbecue Supper Tonight There will be a barbecue supper served tonight, October 20th, at the home of Mrs. Charles B. Pate, for thq, benefit of Marshall's Methodist church. . A charge of 25 cents per platp will be made. The public is cordially invited. Preacher Found Dead in Car Shreveport, La., Oct. 16.-?Dr. lEustis L.

"(He's the fastest runner in the county,"., the supervisor said. ^ "They would never have caught him if a ( bullet hadn't slowed him down."

The kickoff was well re- J ceived by Camden and in a steady J irive down theXfteld Camden pushed for their goal. Wooten completed a pass to San- , iers which aided the Bulldogs in ( scoring in the first quarter of play, , the only one for them in the game, j Camden had the edge on the visit- , are in making first downs, making . 15 to their opponents' four. By several passes in the second , luartor of tho game, ono 15-yard l?ass JelTYout to Jennings, followed by , food interference on tho part ol' the , Brooklaml-Cayco team led to their ] scoring but they failofyy \o add the j ?xtra point. . In tho last half of the game} while both teams played line offensive football, being so evenly matched, neither was able to add to their score, although Camden got within a yard of their goal line in the last quarter, but the Brookland-Cayee boys were too gOod for that extrfy yard. ,,, Some of the finest passes ever seen on Zemp field were those in Friday's game. Wooten's passes to Sanders, one for 40 yards, featured. In de- i fensive work Flowers for the local boy b> played exceptionally w e II. "Jigga" Team gained many yards for the local team through the^ine and had to be reckoned with in almost every play. For the visitors, Jeffcoat and Jennings were the outstanding players.

This fountain was used for many years by tired and thirsty farm animals to slake -their thirst when brought by their owners here, where they traded, before the automobile became the chief mo^e of transportation. ,y It stood for many years at the intersection of BroaH and DeKalb streets, but after traffic got so heary at this point it was moved to lower Broad street. It is unlikely that the fountain will be replaced^?If so, it will be put on a side street or back lot where animals can drink undisturbed by auto traffic. ^ New Legion Officers Installed on Monday -Jl At its regular monthly meeting held Monday night the Leroy Belk Post No. 17, American Legion, installed its new officers for the ensuing year.
