The Camden Chronicle .i I v0LUME 48 , CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA,-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1933 NUMBER 37 fjo Teams to Battle for Title Here Today Cmiden and Johnston will batt!? Zemp hire this afternoon at !BjO for the Class B. Championship of South Carolina. Perhaps' the Urgcst crowd ever to see a game in Cmden will he on hand to see the #me and Johnston will have many jopportets to visit Camden that day to cheer their team. Johnson has a powerful team composed of very heavy men, and will outweigh the Camden team twenty pounds to the man. The Johnston team has been scored upon only once this year and then by a Georgia team. Camden started off With a shaky ,jjart, playing three Class A. teams in succession, losing all of the games to Chester, Charleston and 'Sumter. After that the. Bulldogs struck their stride and defeated all Class B teams j j easily with the exception of Brook^DthCayee, ginning that gam? by a score of 7 to 0. Business houses in Camden will dose for the game. The Camden team has been coached by John Villepigue for the past nine years and has made a very fine record. In 1925 the only team to defeat Camden was Columbia, which iron the championship. In 1926 the only game lost was to Mullins, and Mullins played for the championship against Thornwell Orphanage. In 1927, the only game was lost to Batesburg-Leesville, and that team von the championship. In 1928, j Batesburg-Leesville was the only team to defeat Camden and that team again won the championship. I" ; 1929, Camden lost the state championship to Chester in the finals at Columbia, and in 1930 Chester again won the championship from Camden in Columbia. Camden reached the . peak- irr 1931 by defeating Chester for the championship in Columbia. In 1932, Camden and Chester again fought for the championship in Columbia and Chester again defeated the local team. This will be the first year the championship has not been played in Columbia. Whether or not Camden can stop the Johnston giants remains to be seen. That team is not only strong on the offensive b\it very powerful on the defensive.

C., Dec. 5 ^Thanksgiving is over and the lads are back at work again. And what tales are being told of experiences undergone during the holidays. rom ?11 accounts j everyone had a giand and glorious** week-end. This little foretaste made-us nil look forward to the Christmas holidays with just a wee bit more zest, methinks. I he forestry work' is moving right along now. Mr, Cake and his telephone crew are putting up a telephone line to connect the Camden ami Liberty Hill lookout towers. The fire-breaks and roads are progressing inpidiy as usual. So fa r! thist compan> has constructed some nineteen miles of fire-breaks, thirteen miles of loads, five miles of telephone lino, and one lookout tower. All of of which goes to show that the boys of Cam a Hilton hg^ve been right on the jobWvery minute. On Thursday, Noventber 23, the Rotary C lub of Camden came out to Camp Hilton to hold their regular weekly dinner. The members of this organization put on a most interesting program for the Camp personnel. Dr. John W. Corbett, of the CSanulen hospital, talked briefly and entertainingly of the origin of trees and plant life. "Piute" Wimberly, former leader of.the University of South Carolina orchestra, followed with two selections on the violin, which were greatly enjoyed. Rev. J. B. Caston, pastor of the First Baptist Church of ( amden, then topped off the progam with a very witty and whimsical talk. After the Rotarians had completed their program R. A. Conrad, superintendent of the Camp, introduced the forestry foreman to the guests, and one of the members of the company made a very short talk on the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps. R. A. Conrad, Jr. and Freddie Boston provided special dinner music during the meal. ? The past two weeks have been rathqr strenuous for the boys in the camp. The extraordinarly dry weather has increased tenfold the number of forest*fires in this vicinity and in consequence Company 421 has been fighting an average of three or four fires a day since the middle of November. Fortunately the fires ^aye been so promptly reported and so capably handled that no material damage has resulted. And some folks say the CCC does nothing worthwhile! The educational activities ..of the 0#mp are in full swing now, what with night school running three nights a week. Everyone taking any subject seems interested, and more real work is being done than in most high schools, we believe. Camp Hilton is now awakened by the boom of a small cannon, which has been very graciously loaned to the company by W. E. Cfcamitski, Boy Scout executive, of Columbia. The cannon also adds to the impressiveness of the flag-lowering ceremony at retreat every afternoon. Although not at all large the gun makes a tremendous noise.

Volunteer Firemen Hold Conflagration What promised to be a costly fire early Monday morning was held in the place of its origin by the prompt and efficient work of the volunteer tire department. . Tfye large frame building on Hutledge street formerly used by Springs and Shannon as a livestock stable, but later sold to the late J. 11. Hums, was discovered on tire. It was being used by \V, .1. May'fiold, local cotton buyer, as ! a storage warehouse and the building contained, upwards of 100 bales of cotton, nil of which was | badly damaged by tire and water, jThe building was destroyed, but much j of the cotton can be salvaged for it was rolled into Hut ledge street after ] the Hamos had been subdued. The bagging had'been burned off but the j ties were still intact. Hutledgo street j ' presented an ugly scene from the i J water^oaked and scorched cotton! i strewn^U over it. Fortunately there was no wind ' blowing but the sparks and embers 1 were going toward the back of west I j Broad street business houses and if ' some of the adjoining warehouses had caught there is no telling what j amount, of damage would have resulted. Citizens remembyr about thirtyfive years ago when nearly all of the threatened block of stores were wiped out by lire and they were apprehensive. Two truck loads of C. C. C. boys front U1np Hob'Son Hilt< near I Blaney, were summoned and aided 'the local firemen. Mr. Mayfield carried insurance on his cotton.
