I)r. Simon Baruch Is
Honored at Saratoga
^ The following clipping taken from
Saturday's New York Ti^es will bo
read with intereat by Camden citizens:
Saratoga tSpringa, N, Y? Sept. 14.
-?With Governor Herbert H. Lehman
presiding and distinguished business
and professional men in attendance,
there was laid today the cornerstone
of the $750,000 Baruch Research Laboratory,
second of the buildings Hearing
completion in .the development
being directed by the Saratoga Commission.
Announcement of the name for the
building was made by Governor Lehman,
who said it had "been selected
in memory of Dr. Simon Baruch,
credited with responsibility for Saratoga
cardiac therapy after wide studjr
at mineral water spas in this country
and abroad.
Dr. Baruch was the father of Bernard
M. Baruch, who has carried on
the interest of his 'father in 'promoting
Saratoga mineral waters. Dr.
Baruch believed the medicinal value
of these waters was unexcelled.
The cornerstone was laid by Dr.
Herman B. Baruch, another distinguished
son of Simon Baruch. Dr.
:Herman B. Baruoh took the place of
his brother, who is abroad.
Earlier this year Dr. Baruch established
the Simon Baruch Medical
Research Foundation in memory of
his father.
u The speaker was Dr. John Wyckoff,
dean of the New York UniversityBellevue
Medical School, who urged
the founding of a medical school in
conjunction with the Spas development
to give specialized study to the
treatment of chronic diseases by mineral
water.
Dr. Wyckoff criticized the medical
profession for lack of interest in patients
with chronic ailments.
"There are several explanations for
the lack of interest in chronic diseases
and their cure," he said. "The
first is a rather general lack of interest
in the patient with a chronic
disease; then the fact that we, as a
profession, tend to pay more attention
to techniques associated with
rapid cures than to those in which
prolonged attention enables the . patient
to develop such resources as are
left to him.
"The profession and the State
should encourage here a school for
the study of the use of the spa in
the treatment of sych chronic diseases
as may be prevented and helped
by its use."
He urged the cooperation of the
entire medical profession in the project.
Pointing out the responsibility of
the city in the success or failure of
the Spa, Dr. Wyckoff urged moderate
prices for housing, entertainment and
for food for patients.
?"It is quite understandable that
with a short season, such as the
racing season, prices have to be
hig$f," he said. "While the cure will
unquestionably be seasonal, the season
will be long, I should think seven
or eight months, and when there are
proper facilities for patients of various
incomes many will come here
throughout the year."
In a short address Governor Lehman
congratulated the commission on
the work completed thus far, praised
the work of Dr. Simon Baruch and
predicted that the spa would become
one of the most famous watering
places in the world.
He pointed out that it was Dr.
Baruch who had made the Saratoga
spa possible "by working out a system
of Saratoga cardiac therapy that
vies with any throughout the world."
Joseph H. Freelander, architect or
the building, handed the trowel to
Governor Lehman, who turned it over
to Dr. Herman Baruch.

Legion To Form A
Post At Kershaw
The World war veterans of Kershaw
and environs will hold a meeting
at the Masonic lodge Tuesday evening,
September 25, for the purpose
of organizing an American Legion
post.
v Several years ago there was a post
at Kershaw but it became dormant.
Now the veterans of Kershaw realizing
the benefit to a community a
Legion post is have determined that
they will reorganize their post. While
the old charter has been canceled it
only takes 16 members to ask for another
charter. Feiix Goudelock, department
adjutant of the American
legion, said yesterday that every man
he talked to recently at Kershaw was
enthusiastically in favor of a post at
Kershaw. "You can count on a live
wire post in that town," he said, "and
I predict a membership of at least
75 soon."?Tuesday's State.

. r v
The Dillon Herald carried the following
account of property purchased
by H. H. Anderson, Tuesday. In
an interview with a Chronicle representative
Mr. Anderson stated he al*o
has deals on to buy two more
theatres.
An increasing demand for Dillon
real estate has been noted for several
weeks, but one of the largest
deals in recent years was closed
.Tuesday when H. H. Anderson purchased
the group of stores on Kailroad
avenue that extends from The
Herald building to the building occuJ?ied
by the Star Candy Company. The
ront&ge on Railroad avenue is 160

is making plans to remodel the
theatre building, which he says, when
completed, will be one of the most
modern moving picture houses in the
state. An architect is now working
on the plana and Mr. Anderson stated

Camden Boys Guarcf
At Joanna Mills
Looiuh of the Joanna Cotton Mills,
Goldville, have continued.Jo run 100
per cent since the textile strike was
ordered ten day ago, there being not
the slightest change or interruption
in the usual daily schedulo at tho big
plant, >
In speaking of the situation yesterday,
NV. A. Moorhead, local manager,
stated that not a man or woman in
the. employment of the company has . .
failed to report for duty since the
walk-out order was 'issued by the
United. Textile Workers of America.
The mill will continue to operate Mr.
Moorhead stated as long us the employees
desire to work, with no trouble
or disorder expected. Miv Moorhead
sent the following letter of Appreciation
to tho employees last week:
"Mr. Mitchell and myself are profoundly
grateful for .your confidence
in our management, and youv sincere
loyalty toward our company. The fact
that you have not allowed outside influences
disturb your own sound reas- *
oning causes us to feel that you rec- 0
ognize our interest in your, behalf;
and the deep responsibility each of
you owe to those dependent upon
you."
Mr. Moorhead received the following
telegram ?of commendation from
W. H. R^gnery, vice president of the
company, from the New York office:
"Your management and the loyalty
of all Joanna Mills employees are
both complimented and appreciated."
Informed last Wednesday night
that a "flying squadrw" of strikers
made up of Union, Whitmire and
Newberry mill employess were on
their way to the Joanna plant, employees
armed themselves with shotguns,
pistols, automatics, picker
sticks, and steel rollers and made
ready to repel the invasion after being
informed by Mr. Moorhead of the
squadron's plans to invade the premises
and close down the mill. In the
meanwhile Mr. Moorhetul sent an ur-M
gent call for troops ^ Governor
Blackwood and Adj. General Dozier.
Company M. 118th Infantry of Camden,
headed by Capt. Brevard Boykin,
arrived at 6:80 a. m., and immediately
set up camp for the protection of tho v
property and people of the community.
The motorcade, consisting of 57
cars and 10 trucks, aggregating 600
people, arrived at the mill Thursday
morning about 11:30. Asking admittance
of a committee of three for a
conference with Mr. Moorhead, the
request was granted by Capt. Boykin.
The committee was frankly advised
by the mill officials that the protection
of the operatives and property had
be^n turned over to the state militia
authority and that any intrusion or
interference by outsiders' would only
intensify the situation. After the qpnference
with Mr. Moorhead vand a
warning from Capt. Boykin that ^iis
. men were armed and instructed to
"shoot to kill," if necessary, the army
of invaders immediately left the
office, returned to their caravan and
quietly departed, retracing the route
they had traveled tb Goldville. It was '
understood that the. squadron disbanded
shortly after leaving the Joanna
premises and there has been
no indication of their return. Everything
is quiet in the village, with tfye
people all apparently* satisfied.
Company M. 118th infantry, South
Carolina National Guard, rated as a
machine gun unit, is still stationed
at the mill to protect the property
and to insure that the people desiring
to work may do so without molestation.
The company is headed by
Capt. Brevard ' Boykin, who handled
the tens#' iKuation last Thursday in .
a cool aii<f"effective manner, averting ^
all possible trouble. The two ranking
officers of the company are 1st Lieut.
C. H. Yates, Jr., and 2nd Lieut.
Charles P. Lorick. The unit is composed
of 61 men who are now on duty.
Four machine guns are placed at advantageous
points on the property and
the entire personnel of the comp
any armed with rifles and pistols as
a precaution against invaders.
Capt. Boykin and his men speak In
the highest terms of the kindnesses
and courtesies shown them since taking
up their camp at Goldville. "The
people have been very thoughtful and
cooperative," the Captain stated yesterday,
"and we are enjoying our stay
in Goldville. They are a fine bunch
of orderly people,", he said.?Clinton
