night of injuries sustained Wed-!
nesday afternoon when he was 1
knocked down by an automobile on
the streets of Camden in front of
the City Laundry.
Henry George Dabney, son of Doby :
Dabney, of Camden, was driving the
automobile that struck the child. Sev- J
oral witnesses testiAed that the lad ,
darted into the path of the oncoming)
car from between t\vo other automobiles
and that the accident was
unavoidable.
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon at the Antioch Raptist
church cemetery at B o'clock.
The little boy's mother died two

survived by his grandmother, Mrs.
Hattie Hinson Wilson; one sister,

Frank Rhodes of Raleigh, N. C.

and Mr. Dabney was held blameless.
Entries Close With j.
Eight For Governor;
w ^ j
When the time expired last night!
at midnight for candidates to pay the (
entrance fe<\s to various state races
eight had qualified to make the race
for governor of South Carolina; four
for lieutenant governor; three for
state superintendent of education and
varying numbers fot* other offices.
Lane L. Bonner, secretary to the
Democratic party, remained at his
office at the state house until midnight
in order to care for last min- i
ute entrances though he said that '
pledges and fees sent through the!
mails and bearing post marks prior ]
to midnight last night would be acceptable.
Ihiring the last few days there had
been some talk that a "dark hprse"
would enter at the last minute for
governor. Yesterday Dr. L. B. Owens,
recently re-elected mayor of Columbia,
qualified for the governor's
race, his filing bringing a surprise in
political circles approaching consternation.
His entrance was decidedly
the "surprise" of the gubernatorial
contest.
H. Kemper Cooke, of Gallivants
Ferry, Horry county, a storm center
in the recent session of the general
assembly of the state, was another j
candidate for governor, who paid his
entrance fee?twenty $20 bills in!
crisp cash?the last day for enter- |
I ing. Senator Cooke before he was!
elected to the upper house saw ser- i
vice in the lower.
Senator Fred D. West of Abbeville .
also qualified yesterday to make the
race for lieutenant governor; some [
months ago he had announced his in- j
i tention to enter that contest so his I
entrance occasioned no surprise.
J. W. Shealey, Ballentine, Richland
county, former commissioner of agriculture,
commerce and industries was
another "Late entrant, he having filed
his pledge late yesterday afternoon.
He seeks the post he formerly held. (
Three state officers: W. P. Black-,
| well, secretary of state; A. J. Beat-i
I tie, comptroller general, and E. P.
J Miller, state treasurer, have no op- !
i position and so were all smiles last
! night. |
John J. McMahan, of Columbia, filed
for state superintendent of edu- j
cation, a post he held many years
ago. " |
.James H. Hope, the incumbent, I
also qualified yesterday for superin-i
i tendent of education,
j In one of the last minute surprises,
Secretary Bonner announced Leon
. W. Harris, of Anderson, had advised
(that he was mailing his qualifications
to oppose Congressman John C. Tayj
lor of Anderson for renomination in
the Third district. Harris is a for-.
j mer circuit solicitor and ran for the
j United States senate two years ago'
j when Senator E. D. Smith was re-1
nominated and also when Senator1
1 Byrnes was elected.
I In the Fifth district, A. L Wood,
Gaffney real estate dealer, made his
j first venture into politics by filing
as a candidate for congress.
| James H. Sullivan of Laurens last
night filed for the congressional race
in the Fourth distri<n.
The primary campaign opens Tuesday,
June 19, at I.?exington, and dur

Reaches Greek Home
After Safe Voyage
The Chronicle is in receipt of a
letter from Gus Beleos, who left here
several weeks ago for a visit to his
old home in Greece. His letter was
dated May 24 at Tjiba, Greece, and
stated that he had a most delightful
trip across, going by way of tho
Azores, on to Spain, Gibraltar,
Cannes, Monte Carlo and Naples, and
he <ays in his letter "then on to the
good old homeland of Greece." He
was with a party of four and went
sight-seeing in all the ports visited.
It is his first trip back home in about
twenty-seven years and he goes to
visit his mother, brother (Spero) and
three sisters. He tells us in his
letter that he expects, after resting
a while, to make a-tour of the sections
around Greece. Gus is one of
the most popular of the Greek colony
in Camden and sends greetings
through The Chronicle to his nurtTerous
Camden friends.
Oates Team Winner (
By a Close Score
Camden base Ivull fans witnessed a ;
snappy pmo Tuesday afternoon l?o- i.?
tween C-amtlen and a team ffom , I
Oates, a small rural community in h
Partington county. It was just about j<
as good an exhibition of ball as you .
get from the professionals. barring
a few misplays. The final score
should have read Cannlen 1. Oates 0, | j
but several misplays at first base j
lot t the hall game for Camden and i
tin- result was Oates d, Camden 1? \
and so it has gone for Camden since
their entry into the 1'ee I fee League.
They have lost four games by a margin
of one or more score*;.
Manager Clarkson lihame has gotten
together a snappy lot of pbyvers
who will get their bearings and become
winners. The attendance at the
second home game was far off from
the first, but interest is growing and
the shifting of positions will bring
better results.
Boney was on the mound for Camden
and pitched a good game, allowing
four hits and one walk, and
left on bases 9, while I'age for Oates
allowed five hits and left on bases 2.
Seven errors were chalked up to Camden,
while two misplays were made
by Oates.
Boney for Camden, pitched a good
game, and should have won. He did
his part at bat, getting three hits and
j the longest line drive to deep right,
of the game.
Brown Weldon was the catcher for
Camden, while Oates was the rear
guard for Oates, both making good
plays at second base. Some of the
fielding in deep center bordered onto
l the sensational.
I The boys putting on this great
sport are expecting you to help them
by attending.
It has been many years since Camden
has been a member of a league,
and having made a start in this national
sport it is hoped that the team
iwill have the backing of all Camden.
I Arrange to attend these games and
you, too, will become a fan.
Camden Man's Car
Kills Sumter Negro
Joe S. Thomas, of this city, had
the misfortune to run into the back
of a one-horse wagon loaded with
.negroes near .Sumter on last Saturday
j night, June 9, at which time one of
[the negroes was,killed and two others
seriously injured.
Mr. Thomas was on his way from
Camden to Manning, his old home, to
visit Mrs. Thomas, who was ill at
his mother's home there. The accident
occurred about three miles South
of Sumter. The wagon apparently
did not carry a light?at least if the
negroes had a light it was so concealed
that Mr. Thomas could not see
it, there being seven negroes on the
one-horse wagon.
An inquest over the dead negro was
held in Sumter on Sunday, the corj
oner's jury promptly reaching n verdict
absolving Mr. Thomas from any
blame. Quite a large number of
Camden citizens went over on Saturday
evening and Sunday to Sumter
to render Mr. Thomas any possible
assistance. The officers and citizens
of Sumter and Sumter county were
; most kind and considerate to Mr.
(Thomas and, while the incident is to
i be deeply regretted, it served to ac[centuate
the warm and friendly feelings
existing between the citizens of
the two cities.

Props Badly Hurt
Bv Excessive Bains
*
The long continued rainy spoil
looms to have boon temporarily broken
by the delude that fell Friday
uftornoon. Koportb by pross and otherwise
si'ate that the heaviest rains
for years foil at Newberry, Sumter,
Aiken and other points Friday afternoon.
Camden and Kershaw county
also got more than its share and a
traveller from Book IIill down this
way Mates that all along the route
the rain was exceedingly heavy.,
A ride down Moykin way where at
this season of the year, with the rich
fertile lands, cotton and corn are usually
flourishing, it now presents
anything hut a promising appearance.
Cotton Is stunted and so badly
surrounded by grass that it will be
hard to salvage. Copp is turning yellow
by reason of the excessive moisture
and it too is backward in growth
and will make only a small yield if
any.
Some grain crops had been cut anil
shocked in the field and wo leam
that thiR will bo almost a total loan
except for stable bedding,
The unfavorable weather has reduced
the stand of some corn fields,
delayed the planting of corn, peas,
soy beans, velvet beans, cane and Sudan
grass, but no effort should be
spared now to plant an adequate supply
of these feed crops. It is not too
late to plant any of these crops and
it is very probable that next spring
will see the cost of all feed crops well
advanced und the fellow who must
buy them will be at a disadvantage.
Every year regardless of how favorable
the season, many in the county
spend needed money to buy feed' for
their stock, while others always seem
to have feed no matter how unseasonable
the year. The increase in the
cost of seed for feed crops should not
be used as an excuse for not planting
as this higher price but points to
the fact that they are scarce and
where planted for the production of
feed for sale the. price will be high
next spring, since many will not
plant.
Rural Carriers Held
Meeting in Camden
The Rural Free Delivery carriers
of the Fifth Congressional District,
comprising the counties of Kershaw,
Chcsterfifclri, Lancaster, York, Cherokee,
Cheater ar)(j Fairfield, were the
guests, of the Camden R. F. I), carriers
at their annual District meeting
held last Friday night, June 8. Despite
the inclement weather, the meeting
was very largely attended, carriers
from all sections of the District
being present.
The meeting was held in the spacious
Masonic hall, where a sumptuous
banquet was served by the
ladies of the Eastern Star. Carl
Rosborough, of LugofT, acted as
toastmaster. The carriers were welcomed
to Camden by Mayor Owborne
in behalf of the city, John K. delxiach
in behalf of the Chamber of Commerce,
and Stanley Llewellyn for the
Rotary Club and the local post of
the American Ixigion. Mr. Sutton, of
Fort Mill, responded to the welcome
speeches.
Addresses were made by Allen B.
M urchison, Reverend J. B. Caston and
Murdoch M. Johnson.
At the conclusion of the addresses
the regular business of the Association
was dispatched.
Camden was delighted to have this
fine body of men with it. The R. F.
I). carriers of Kershaw county are
among the very best citizens of the
county, an.l the same standard appears
to be wio.ctained throughout
the district. We hope that the local
carriers will be successful in bringing
another meeting to Camden soon.
