Mr. Sanders Dies In Adopted City ? ? Though not unexpected the death early Tuesday morning of Burrell Grover Sanders brought sorrow to all of our citizens. Mr.. Sanders entered the Camden hospital some three weeks ago where he steadily grew worse and his death had beeri hourly expected for several days. *. < Mr. Sanders was in {lis _74th year and was born at Buck Hill plantation in Colleton county July 7, 18G0, being the . son of John B. Sanders and Adelaide Kidby Sanders. His father met : death on the^battlefleld in the War Between the States. Before coming to Camden in 1922 Mr. Sanders was engaged in the cotton business with Inman, Sanders & Company, of Atlanta and Augusta, Ga. Later he moved to Roanoke, Va., where ho was engaged as an independent buyer. He came to Camden as secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and served in that capacity for several years. He later entered the real estate field and was connected with other business enterprises. Being of a gent^J and friendly disposi- _ tion he readily aligned himself with] the people of his adopted city and j was one of its greatest boosters. He j made friends readily and his death is, deeply regretted by all of our people. 'He was married to Miss Harriett Hurt, of Marion, Ala., and she with numerous relatives in Colleton and Spartanburg counties, survive him. Funeral services were held Wed-, nesday morning at 10 o'clock from his late residence, 11507 Fair street, with Rev. C. F. W^mberly, of Lyttleton Street M. E. church, officiating.

Cavalcade Wins 1 Kentucky Derby Louisville, Ky., May 6.?The fortunate combination of a naturally ( speedy colt, a perfect training regime and a nearly flawless ride has sent r Kentucky Derby glory back to the east. ?? t It was the favorite, Cavalcade, \] dwned by Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloan, \ of; New York, which led the fleld of a 13 fleet thoroughbreds across the fin- j ish line at yesterday's 60th running at the nation's most famous horse j race. r Happiest man in Louisville today ( was 34-year-old Mack Garner, of j Contersville, Iowa, who guided Caval- t cade around tho Churchill Downs racing atrip. Winner of almost every j Vace of consequence in America, the ] derby prize, until yesterday had. clud- c ed him. c "I had never before felt so sure I was going to win," he said, "and by the time wo got through tho Arst c quarter, I was surer than ever." \ Mrs. Sloan's heart must have q skipped a beat as the horses left tho ^ post, for Cavalcade was then no \ better than eleventh in a Aold of 13. ] But garner, pouring a coaxing "git i along, doggio" into the colt's ear, moved up quickly to bo seventh pass- t ing its owner's clubhouse box. There were a thousand thrills in ' tho 60th Kentucky Derby. One was tho magnificent early running of the filly Mata Hari, which finally went to the post a third choice. M*^ Hari broke on top and held the lead past j the quarter and half mile marks only j to weaken approaching the mile. But the thrill o^ thrills was the f closing fight between Cavalcade and . Discovery, the Alfred Gwynne Van- ( derbilt oolt which had rushed into the j lead at the three-quarters. Yt was the first time in years that the derby was not won by a horse that . was a native of Kentucky. Cavalcade, by Lancegaye->Hastily, was bred in ^ England and foaled at F. W. Armstrong's Meadowviews 'farms near Mooreitown, New Jersey. Discovery, Agrarian and Mata Hari were bred ( and foaled in the Blue Grass state. i Kentucky has no claim whatever on . Cavalcade, aside from the fact he is j now a . derby winner. Cavalcade never saw the Blue Grass State 5 until shipped here a week before the } derby. He was trained at Columbia, j S. iC., and escaped thp rigors of the ^ northern winter, Which may be a tip for other horsemen to train their < hopefuls in the sunny south.

National Music Week During this National Music Week thoughts of music in a general sense brings thoughts of a band for our Camden high school in particular. If our people would think a bit and really sense the value of a successful band, I believe we would have no trouble in getting together in work that would make possible at least a start toward that end. O* A school ban<^ is unquestionably one of the greatest assets any school ,can have. It is not only of great educational benefit to the children, but can serve the community in so many ways that it becomes a town asset and public support as needed should be readily forthcoming.
