South Carolina's Murder Record Columbia, May 27.?South Carolina has more murderers according to population than either Chicago or New York. Statistics compiled by Dr. G. (Toft Williams, professor of sociology in the University of South Carolina, show that this State's rate is 14 murderers to every 100,000 people, while Chicago has 12 and New York only S. This rate is almost twice that of the nation as a whole, which is seven and one-half. There are more negro murderers in the State than white, about is. t-9. tyv. n 1-3 to every 100;000 people. After a long deadlock, the Illinois legislature has passed bills increasing the sales tax In that state from two to three per cent, the money raised to be used to match federal funds for relief. The state has 1,200,000 on its relief rolls. A burglar has been operating in Lexington, Ky., homes and leaving a trail of drippings from a candle used to light him in his job. . . . ,.L.1" . J "LETS GO PLACES" 'Eagle* Ne?t," Buck Hill" "Gold M in?" ' .111 w t about eight miles north of Camden overlooking the Wateree Power torn pan.v dam and plant is tin* 1 location known loeully as "Kuglos Neat " It is reached by taking the Liberty Hill road, State Highway No. l>7 for about eight miles and then turning to the loft uud proceeding by a good dirt road for about a mile and a half This is u high steep blulT overlooking the lake, An area is nicely cleared off at the termination of this route which affords a nice picnic ground. Perhaps the moat intfrestlng view to be found in this section is at a point about halfway from the highway to the "Kagles Nest," Just as the crest of the first hill is reached? ?where there is unfolded a panorama of the lake to the westward and a splendid view to the eastward over the hills and valley in that direction. Perhaps every one in Camden has visited this location. If so the old Gold Mine, and hills consisting of appeurently solid quartz on the west side of iho river would prove of interest. 1 Also "Hue.k Hill" just beyond affords a splendid view of the Wateree Power company lake from the west side of the rfvtrtv There are still a number of excavations and slumps. Some about fifty feet in depth at the old gold mine. This ' mine is reached by taking the road! up the west side of the river past j the power company for perhaps a half mile and turning left shortly ufter passing an unpulnted church , building on the left side of the roadway, turning left at first negro house j after passing the church. Although there was standing until a 1 few years ago the old stone locks : which were built to bring barges up past the shoals on the Wateree river, j Perhaps they are still there. If so these are a point of interest whleh give us a look backward to the crude transportation facilities of the early settlers of our section and so worth a visit. This canal was constructed of blocks of stone, was only about , ten feet wide, so could hardly have ; accommodated a craft of much size, i It lias been some years since 4.ho writer saw them, so do not know rt* they were removed or covered up by the Power company in their construction of the dam. Let's hear about different places of Interest chip in and write of some place you know that is worth a visit for the flowers or shrubbery or view or for some historic value. Cast Attracted Attention A case that attracted' much attention ut Kershaw on Tuesday was that of Hill Hinson who wa? arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. As many as could ho accomodated hoard the case before Magistrate Threatt and the result wuh u mistrial as the Jury could not agree. Illnson was arrested by ltural Policeman Hough of Kershaw county and Illnson clalniB ho watt-J?r.r?sted without cause. Ho hud been threatening to bring a suit against tho officer. The matter will be heard ag{LI!i? next Wednesday. Allen Supp represents Mr. llinson while < Murdoch Johnson represents tho stute. ?Lancaster News. There's a mouthful, and, perhaps, considerably more in the following from Tho Charlotte Observer:" If all of those on the relief rolls of this state and of the country generally who, like the Wilmington unemployed who refused to earn $2 a day picking strawberries, prefer to "stay on relief rather than work," wore stricken from these rolls, the President could get along on far leas than the $4.kK0,000,000 he has been allowed."
