(Dick) Richards was renominated on Tuesday in the fifth congressional district by an overwhelming vote as he has evidently, carried every county in the district, most of them by top heavy majorities. In Lancaster county -Mr. Richards was given a very heavy vote by) the home folks as he qnly loat 337 votes. Mr. Beamguard received 236 votes while Mr. Wood received 101 votes. An error in tabulation gave Wood 181 voted in the first counting of the ballots but it was found that the vote in one of the cotton mill boxes which gave Wood 66 votes on the face of the first report should have been 16 votes so that one-third of his announced vote was wiped out. In the other counties in the district Richards was leading by good majorities. Even in York county Richards was leading Beamguard as the approximate vote was Beamguard, 2,400; Richards, 6,700; Wood, 260. The complete returns from the following counties are as follows; Kershaw?(Beamguard, 636; Richards, 6001; Wood, 444. * -Chester?Beamguard, 880; Rich^ ards, 3,713; Woods, 62. * Cherokee?(Beamguard, 800; Richards, 4,667; Woods, 2,000.

Improvements At Methodist Church During the past year and a half, the property of the Lyttleton Street Methodist Church has Undergone many substantial Improvement*. The walls out-side were in bad shape, and the stucco on the Sunday School walls had fallen off, and. rain soaked through the walls inside of both auditorium and Sunday school, were cracked and discolored. All this has been repaired, and painted;' a new roof has been :put on the entire Sunday School annex, and the rooms painted. The parsonage has been beautified throughout, and the lawn is one of the nicest in town. Undoi'neath the parsonage -has been developed a fine hall, and dining room and kitchen?all equipped, and is now being used for Sunday School classes, missionary meetings and prayer meeting. No part <5f the church equipment I was more out of repair than the heating plant; fc^ two years it has been doubtful as to\whether service could be held any Sunday when it was cold,! and often the congregations were un- j ^comfortable and. many remained away. Now there is being installed an up-to-date $1,200 heating system, which will take care of the entire plant; before oil stoves were used in all the Class rooms, but one. In the new system, a radiator will be in each room, and a large one in the vestibule of the church which will be a big factor in the heating program. A large water-proof basement has been made for the new furnace, which will not only be roomy for the furnace, but also large enough for coal! This basement has been lowered about 40 inches, and will be ample for a good circulation. When the furnace is installed, the Camden Methodist property will be in first class condition throughout. j Can Hunt Doves j" Six Days A Week Doves may be hunted six days a week in South Carolina, A.

'.U "The only change in the game law relative to dove hunting is that they cannot be baited," the chief game i warden sajd. "Otherwise, -the law | stands as last year."

Farmers To Visit Experiment Station Arrangements have just been completed for a Kershaw County Farm Day at the Sandhill Experiment Station at Pontiac (between Camden and Columbia) Thursday, September 13. All farmers of Kershaw County are urged to attend this important occasion and to bring their wives and older children . Those attending are requested to meet at the Court House in Camden not later than 9 A. M. so that they may leave promptly at 9 and arrive at the Experiment Station at 9:30 sharp. J. A. Riley, 'Superintendent of the Station, and his staff of scientific workers have ^made plans tp explain many interesting and berfeficial ahd important matters to the farm people of our county. This is a real opportunity and every one who is interested in bettering his condition, improv-| ing crop yields, increasing his income, and building up his soil sflioold by all , means attend. Some of the important experiments to be studied are deficiencies in magnesium, potash, calcium, phosphorous and nitrogen with particular respect to cotton. The soil of tho experiment station is very similar to most of the soil of Kershaw County and our farmers can , benflt themselves greatly by seeing the results of practical demonstrations and experiments including among other things the value of Austrian Pear Vetch and Crotalaria. The trip will require about one half day says Henry D. Green, County Agent. Beloved Lady Died Wednesday Camden citizens were saddened Wednesday, when it was learned that Mrs. Mai W.

A great deal of interest is being manifested and it is predicted that the vote next Tuesday will bo almost, if not quite, as large as in the first primary. A very hot fight ja being waged betwfpn former governor, former , United States Senator Colo L, Wtoaao and Olin i>. Johnston for the gubernatorial nomination. Each of them has many friendH and supporters, ouch of thfefn, is waging a determined fight/ for the Munning-Pearco votes,'hnd the result is awaited with much interest. It is understood that Johnston will get a very large vote in the upper part of tho state, especially in the cotton mill centers; while Blease, it is predicted, will sweep the lower part of South Carolina and will get a large vote in the central part of the state; Johnston, however, being also strong in the central portion. J. E. Harley, of Barnwell, and J. It. Bryson,? of GteenviNe, are in the second race for lieutenant governor. In the county contest representative J. R. Belk and former representative Newton Kelly are the contestants. Belk led Kelly iby several hundred votes In tho (first primary, but Kelly has many friends and this race is being watched with interest. Wylie Hogue had a slight lead over his two opponents, C. J. Outlaw and II. S. Moore, though all thr/pe candidates were pretty well grouped. The second primary is between Hogue and Outlaw. Both of theso gentlemen are fighting hard; both have many supporters, and the result is problematical. N. C. Arnett led the field for probate judge, being more than four hundred votes ahead of the present incumbent, L. Rex Jones; but this is developing into a warm contest, each Candidate and his supporters fighting hard. When we went to press last week it had not been decided who woulda go into n? second race with C. M. Hough fof' game warden. A hurried tabulation of the vote of W. A. (Billie) Rush and W. P. .Sowell had apparently given Sowel 612 votes and Rush 610 votes, but it appeared that the tabulation had been incorrect and that as the votes were reported Mr. Rush had 610 votes and Mr. Sowell ? 602. A recount of the votes placed Rush still a little further ahead and gave him 621 votes to 610 for Mr. Sowell. Hough lead the ticket by more than 300 votes. In upper (Buffalo Township a second race was ordered between Clarence L. Threatt and R. S. Long. Below we give you the tabulation for county officers by precincts. The returns will be flashed, as before, next Tuesday night by the Chronicle and the public is cordially, invited to attend. > ' * Springs & Shannon Are Again Opened Under the management. o{ JRalph hT. Shannon, the firm of Springs & Shannon, long a business concern of Camden is again opened. This firm will have store room and offices on East Rutledge street and deal in cotton buying and fertilizers. Mr. Shannon, the . son., of, C. J. Shannon, Jr., was connected with the old firm of Springs St Shannon and knows the trade of Camden and Kershaw county, so one is assured of pleasant dealings with this establishment. The members of this firm are composed of Elliott W. Springs, of -31 Lancaster; C. J. Shannon, Jr., and Ralph- iN. Shannon, of this city. . V j| Guards At Greer Mffl i .
