"Go-To-Church"
Begins In June
Beginning next Sunday, It I* the
wish of uil the church loaders. and all
the pastors, that our people will enter
upon a new rule for the month or
June. May we all get in behind this
worthy movement. The challenge is
for all the church members of Camden.
Hut this special appeal is being
made for our own people?the
members of the Lyttleton Street
Methodist church. We give several
reasons why all the Methodist should
cooperate: Because It Is right, und
God so commands, because it is u
call coming from all the religious
forces of our church, because the
church and the pastor needs the inspiration
and encourugement this
movement will bring, because it will
give Camden a higher rutlng than it
now possesses, because it will mean
t a blessing to each individual who gets
in line, God will honor or bless the
town and church that honors Him,
because, there is no honest reason
[ any one can give, barring sickness,
that would keep them from all going
to church once and twice if possible
during the month of June.
We mean all this for our Men's
I Bible class. I^et the men begin the
. good work by coming to the class on
the first Sunday in June, this means
. next Sunday.?C. F. Wimberly, Pastor.

M. Biuesteln Dead
Writing very recently to Mrs. D. R.
Fletcher, hor former friend and neighbor
during.her residence in Kershaw,
Mrs. M. Biuesteln, now residing in
Charleston, communicated to Mrs.
Fletcher the sad intelligence of the
death of her husband, Moses BlueBtein,
a former merchant In Kershaw
for a number of years.
In her letter Mrs. Biuesteln stated
that when they left Kershaw for Charleston
several years ago that It was
on account-of the condition of Mr
Bluestein's health and for medical
treatment in that city. He went to
St. Louis, Mo., afterward to undergo
an operation, which gave him relief
for a time and he returned to Char
leston, where he again grew worse
and died in a hospital in that city
March 193.>, of a heart affection
at the age of 58 years.
Mr. Blue8tein was born in Russia
and came to America as a young
child, living in Charleston until he
came to Kershaw to engage in busi
ti'ss. The death of a brother, Joseph
Biuesteln, a few weeks before his own
demise is thought to have contributed
toward hastening his own death.
He and Mrs. Biuesteln made numerous
friends during their residence
in Kershaw, who are grieved to learn
of the death of Mr. Biuesteln and
sympathize deeply with Mrs. Bluestein
in her bereavement.

two organizations, composed as they
arc of Camden's highest, best and
most unselfish and progressive citizenship.
- will be able to accomplish
much for the continued growth and
upbuilding of the city and county.

|l5ig Lake Shown
On New Koad Map
Tile citlr.enq of the Wntrree and
Cut&wba Rivet lection ure very much
pleased to see that a recent Hlgbwuy
map issued l>y the Texaco Company
tihowa the lake# cr?'uted by dams
along the river, Just uh all i^aps ?how
the Luke Murray lake, uIho created by
a dam across the river, neur Columbia.
There ban been considerable unfavorable
criticism of the Highway Department
of South Carolina for showing
Lake Murray with ho much prominence
on maps Issued by their department
and absolutely ignoring the
large lakes neur Camden, (Ireut Falls,
Itock Hill and Fort Mill. The Wateree
dam, eight miles above. Camden creates
a lake over twehty flve miles
long, and very wide at many points.
This dam backs water right up to the
Rocky Creek Dam, South of Ureal
Falls. , The ltock Creek Dam backs i
water to the Great Falls dam and
that dam backs water to Nltrolee. The
Nit roleo dam backs water above Lancaster.
The dam between Itock Hill i
and Fort Mill, on the same river,
bucks water above the Charlotte-Gustonia
highway. In other words, these
dams form utmost one continuous
lake from near Camden to Gastonia,
N. C.
The Wateree Lake, eight miles
above Camden is perhaps one-third
or one-half as large as Lake Murray,
and the citizens of this section feel
that it should be shown on South
Carolina Highway und other maps.
TluyCjti'/.ens of this section feel that
I.akV* Murray should show on all
lnups^ but at the same time, do not
feel that there Is any Justice In leaving
off the large Wateree LukA; from
any map, The same applies to the
large lakes near Greut Falls.
Camden was recently canvassed by
a man selling a modern map of South j
Carolina. Lake Murray registered on
the map like an inland ocean, but the |
large lake above Camden did not show I
at all. The salesman had never heard |
or the big Wateree Lake. It Is needless
to say that he did no business
in this section. I
The large Wateree Lake is quite a
fishing ground for citizens of Camden,
Kidgeway, Winnsboro, Chester, Great
Falls, Lancaster and Kershaw. Quite
a number, of motor boats are used on
this lake, and eventually summer
homes or shacks are to be erected
on the high hills overlooking the lake,
for it is much cooler there thun In
the towns nearby.
Route No. 97 from Camden to Great
Falls parallels thi.s lake, making It
possible to spend the afternoon there
without much traveling, and on a paved
road. A good dirt road parallels
the lake on the Western side.
It is likely that the citizens of this
section will request that these large
lakes be shown on futuro maps issued
by the South Carolina Highway
Department.
Mrs. Moseley Dies j
After Long Illness
Mrs. Lillian Roberts Moseley, wife
of C. M. Moseley, died at the Camden
hospital on Monday, after a long illness.

Supreme Court
Knocks Out NRA
Washington, May 27.-?By a unanliiiouh
decision, in contrast to some
llvo-to four decisions on other New
Ileal features, the NHA codes were
wiped out today by the supremo court
which ruled unconstitutional the section
of the industrial recovery act under
which conaress delegated to tho
President authority to utake codes.
It held this authority hud not been
sufficiently limited, or dellned and utso
ruled that, where transgressions
have merely uu Indirect effect on interstate
commerce control rests with
the states.
The court also held Invalid provisions
of the codes fixing minimum
wages and maximum hours of labor,
an action it said hud been based on
the theory thut wuges and hours of
lubor affect interstate commerce.
The court declared such power
would givo tho federal government
suhstuntiaf^ontrol over all activities.
This NltA decision was considered a
complete defeat for NRA, debate
about the extension of which has been
occupying congress.
Also unanimously, the supreme
court held the Frar.ler-I^'inke uct
granting a live year moratorium for
paying otT farm mortgages and affecting
billions of dollars indebtedness
unconstitutional.
In a decision read by associate Justice
Hrnndeis it ruled on u case
brought by tho Jxiuisvillo Joint Stock
I Land Hunk against Willinm W. Uudford,
Sr.
Justice Hrandeis is considered about
the most liberal of the supremo court
bench. The law provided for a moratorium
if attempts to scale a farmer's
debt down to a (Igure he could pay
failed. The property could not he
foreclosed during the five years If
the owner paid a reasonable rental.
Tho net also enabled the farmer to
obtain full title to his property by
payment of the appraised value regardless
of tho amount stipulated in
the mortgage at the end of the flvo
year period.
Beautiful Crops In
Lee And Sumter
Taking advantage of the invitation
Issued to tho citizens of South Carolina
by H. C. Bland, of Sumter, to
visit hlB "Swan Gardens," a Chronicle
man with a party of friends made a
trip there Tuesday afternoon.
Not carir.g particularly about rich
lng over the usual route to Sumter,
we took the old Black Rlvor road
toward Bishopvllle and came Into
Blshopvllle-Sumter highway at a point
17 miles from Sumter. Like Mr. Trotter
suggested some weeks ago, this
Is a nice drive for an afternoon, carrying
one through some of the finest
farming sections in this state. It also
carries one by several handsome oldstyle
farm residences.
Near. Rose Hill plantation, or what
Is now tho Ashwood Community Project,
we saw tho largest field of oats
In one body that wo had ovor looked
upon. Just n few miles before reaching
this field we witnessed a lone
workman cutting his grain with an
old-fashioned cradle. . Quite a contrust
when we stopped to witness
a modern combine cutting, thresh- !
lng and sacking this large field of
oats. It took Beyen men to oporuto
tho combine. Tho youngest of the
party had never seen a grain cradle
at work?and none of the party hiul
ever seen a modern combine. Only
the heads of the grain are cut by tho
combine, leaving tho stubble to bo
plowed undor.
All throughout this section of Coo
and Sumter counties farm owners
have gone In strong for grain and
from all indications they will harvest
bountiful crops.
In this connection It is said that
growers of produce such as cnbbago
and tho like had a most profitable
season In the coastal sections, Farmers
seem to havo at last gotten away
from tho all-cotton Idea.
The Ashwood Community Project is
not far enough advanced %as yet for
one to be able to tell much about
it. but. work is going on rapidly.
The visit to tho Swan Lake Gardens
was a most delightful on \ Mr.
Bland has transformed an unsightly
swamp Into a most beautiful flower
garden and we were told that thousands
visited the place on Sundav lnst.
He deserves the thanks of the pooplo
of the state for his openhenrt- dness
in opening to visitors.
