IUt CAMDEN CHRONICLE H. D. Nil.US.. Bditor and PuWUher mm Mm $100, payable In advance. Friday, August SI, 1934 ? . L . ' ' ? The prediction is freely made that in the second primary many men and women in Soutb> (Carolina who have never voted for Cole L Mease .for any office will this time vote and work for hia election. Hi# experience in the conduct of the Mate's affair# in year# gone by will be of great value to him if he ia elected governor. Senator E. D, Smith in making hi# announcement that he would support Mease says thfrt in hih long political service he had never attempted to tell his follower)# how to vote, the senator added th*t "in thi# particular case" he did not mind stating his "personal preference." v fv^frORCOTTRN MAN" Marion, Aug. 9.~This strange tale had its beginning In a small South Carolina town, it# continuation in a little burg in North Carolina. Where it will end, no one cun venture a guess at the present. Thirty year# ago a circus came to McColl?whether Robinson's or #Ringling's, if either, no one remembers. While there an Italian workman wa# killed accidently. There being no undertaker at McColl, the one at Laurinburg, N. C. a short distance across the state line, was sent for to take charge of the body. The circus passed on after giving 'what meager information it could about the dead man, and after embalming the body the undertaker took the usual means of inserting notices in the newspapers for relatives of the dead man to come forward, pay the undertaker's fee and take charge of the body. Time passed and no one came to claim the body. The matter was taken up with thCPltalian consulate in Washington, v/bfeh showed some interest but no results. Ten years ago the writer on u visit to Iuiurinburg, was told this story and taken to the undertaker's establishment to see the mummy, which had then been on exhibition for 20 years. A few days ago she was reminded that the body was still there in a perfect state of preservation, though the undertaker who had embalmed it had died some years ago and had been succeeded by his brother. It is said that during the 30 years the silent figure has lain there, thousands of curious per-ons have called to see the body of the mysterious stranger whose identity will probably never bo revealed. If the undertaker had charged only a nickel admission much money would have been collected. Rut no charges has ever been mode to the tourists and motorists who come from far and near after hearing the weird tale of this absolutely "forgotten man." The perfect condition of the corpse after 30 years is a very good advertisement of the undertaker's work. ODD ACCIDENTS Rays of the hot Nebraska sun pass<sl through a bubble or flaw in a window pane in the home of Tom Mindon and shone directly upon, a match lying on the floor.

OLD DOBBIN COMBS BACK Old Dobbin who has boon staging a miraculous comeback on the farm, a comeback aided substantially by the depitasion, also is returning to favor in the large cities, according to Wt L. Elder, operator of one of the largest j horfe markets in the United States. Elder 'said that sales for the first four months of 1934 had gained 160 per cent over the corresponding period of 1933. These sales, he added, were made for the most part to dairy companies in large eastern cities, where the horse has not been supplanted by trucks as motive power for milk-wagons. '\5ince the economic comeback pf the south has flourished," Elder said, "the demand for cotton mules' has become an impprtant part of our market. These 'cotton mules' are mares which weigh from 900 to 1,100 pounds and are especially trained for the work of cultivating cotton. We have buyers coming f*om as far south as Atlanta, Ga., for them." Horses used for the manufacture of dog food are coming more into demand also, Elder said. "This type of horse is known as a 'killer," he said. "A 'killer' is a horse with some defect which renders him unfit for further work. We ship from one to three carloads of them to a dog food firm at Rockford, 111., each week," SOUND PHILOSOPHY ' The film career of the late Marie Dressier was unusual. Late in life, after reaching the age when many people retired, she made a treriiendous "hit" and became one of the best box-office attractions of the industry. This actress was a wise woman. Some of her remarks contained sound judgment. Speaking about training children, she said: "I'd also teach my child that nothing in life is free. You've got to pay for everything you have,' some time, and in some way. It's tragedy to teach youngsters to expect something for nothing." Of friendships, she remarked: "Life is too short to waste it with great numbers of people who mean nothing real to you. If you can find a few real friends in a lifetime, then you are a fortunate person." And, she added, "Youpget from life and people only what you give to them." How many people would lead happier lives if they took this truth to heart. The world-at-large, which only know her through her screen dramatizations, suspected something of this philosophy from Marie Dressier. The parts she played in pictures made many feel an understanding of her philosophy of 1 i f e.?
