Camden caught Sumter napping on the first few plays of the game to score her lono touchdown. Receiving the kickofT, the visitors cut loose with two forward passes good for a total of 40 yards to place the ball on Sumter's 15-yard strip; from there the ball was carried over on a series of thrusts at the line. The extra point was added by a run around end. A few minutes later Camden started another drive that carried to Sumter's 12-yard line* before it was halted. In the second quarter Camden again got the ball within scoring distance, when a Sumter fumble was recovered on the local's 25-yard line. Sensational tackling by Wells and Keardon, however, was responsible for Camden losing 30 yards on the next two plays. Camden never threate-ned after this and as the half ended -Sumter drove the ball to the visitors 25-yard line before losing it on downs. Two runs by Chewning for 15 and 12 yards featured in this drive. First downs were equal in the first half, oath team accounting for six. The second half was all Sumter, with Camden constantly on the defensive. Practically all of Camden's running plays were smeared before they got underway and the forward passing attack was stopped cold. . Taking the kickofT Sumter drove straight for a touchdown with an impressive display of power.. Chewning went 15 yards .around end on the first play and was followed by Gibson with a nine-yard jaunt. Steady pounding of the line brought the ball to the Camden eight-yard marker from where Mellette finally took it over. Chewning's placement for the extra point was low and the score was 7 to 6 in Camden's iavor. A few minutes after this Sumter again came into possession of the ball and put on another scoring drive. Chewning ripped off 20 on a well executed lateral and two plays* later added 20 more on the same play. The third quarter ended with ball on Camden's 2B-yard line. Player drove 12 yards off tackle to open the fourth quarter and Chewning added nine more. Throe yards were lost when Chewning fumbled and recovered. But Sumter made it first and ten on Camden's six-yard line. The Camden line strengthened at this point and held .Sumter without gain for three downs. On fourth down, however, Gibson, aided by prettv interference, charged around efid and wriggled away-^from two tacklers to score the toiicbdown. Sumter again failed to add the extra point. Sumter'? final touchdown was made on the most spectacular play of the game. Camden was forced to kick from near midfield, and Wells, Sumter's star tackle, broke through and blocked the punt. Harris, followed cl^w?e on the heels of Wells, picked the ball out of the air in full stride and outran two Camden players to cross the goal line standing up. The Gamecocks again failed to add the extia point and the game ended soon after with the ball on the Camden 2o-yard line. In the second half Sumter made nine first downs to Camden's two. In Sumter backfield. Chewning, Gibson and Player were outstanding, while on the line Wells, Iteardon and Harris played star ball. For Camden Boheler and Wooten played bang-up games offensively, while in the line with two ends, Sanlers and Watts were outstanding.

SOME PENSION FAcfc We still think that tho election of President Roosevelt a great blessing. As an 'old-timer, however, we seriously doubt the wisdom of some "experiments" to date. We .have always believed that the people should support the government, not the government Ihe people. We are not able to see how a vast army of new office-holders and enormously increased taxes can help pull any taxpayer out of the hole. Hut we admire hie efforts to help the underdog. The criticisms leveled at him on the pension racket, seem unjust. That business has been terribly abused. As a sample, we some time since received a list of physicians and dentists* from the Veterans Association, who are on the government salaried payrolls. These stipends range from 3600 to 6500 dollars, who are also drawing from 150 tQ 200 dollars per month for disability allowance. Unable to work, mind you. No reasonable man believes that such abuses should continue. Tho report goes on to say that lawyers are equally guilty, but, for some reason, didn't give the list. Probubly afraid of the lawyers who run the government and probably the pension end of it, too. After the Revolutionary War, which ended in 1788, no pensions were paid until 1818-? 35 years. Still more surprising is the fact that persions for all wars up to 1861?the Revolutionary, the War of 1812.. tye Mexican, and Indian wars?all told, aggregated less than DO million dollars. It is already about a billion dollars annually for the World War veterans, <li- | rectly or indirectly, and we are only 15 years away from the mad-cap and wild-goose chase. " The Mexican war pensions didn't even start until 41 years after it ended. There was no Civil War pensions act for 2^ years after is closed, and the pension was a mere bagatelle, compared to what the high and holy "disabled" rollers are drawing now, besides their fat salaries. When you reach these "upper ?its" it gets worse. '"Over 7,000 Ehnergency Officers have been retired on pay from $106.25 to 262 dollars per month, and most of them in fine positions, or corraling big fees in independent practice of various kintls. Qf the ailments of the 7,000 Emer-. gency Officers, 4,000 give diseases which are 'merely presumptive.' One r of the common complaints is pronounced as 'social inaptitude.*" ^ Isn't it plain that, Roosevelt had to do something to save the country from bankruptcy? Grover Cleveland did it in the case of Union pensions?and ploughed deep, in spite of a whirlwind of abu&ft. The rottenest aftermath of all wars is the swivel chair pension abuse. The privates against their will, do the fighting and the blood-spilling, and get the "hot end of the poker." Even these, many evils creep in. President Roosevelt deserves great praise, for trying to remedy conditions and stop dangerous waste.?Calhoun Times, German and Austrian war. veterans living in Newark, N.
