PA3SING OF A RAILWAY LINE
News of the fact that the Northwestern
Railroad, serving Kershaw,
Sumter and Clarendon counties will
discontinue operations at midnight
Saturday has been very upsetting to
the business men of Camden. The
road has been in receivership since
last fall and was put up lor sale
sometime ago. but there were no bidders.
A Federal court order was
grunted recently for the road to cease
operations as of midnight. August 4th.
_ The Northwestern Railroad operating
several branches, serving Summerton,
Sumter, Camden and other
points, was constructed about 1900.
The road enjoyed considerable prosperity
until the depression, truck and
bus competition forced it into taking
big losses, thereby causing the road
to ask for a Receiver.
It had been hoped that the Atlantic
Coast Line would take over the Camtien
Sumter branch, but so far thorn
has been nothing to encourage this
hope. The Canulen Chamber of Commerce
is cooperating with the Sumter
Hoard of Trade, hoping that something
can b?> worked out to prevent tho removing
of the tracks and terminals.
A remote possibility of this road being
used to move a large portion of
the tine timber of the Santee-Coopor
development is entertained as a possibility
of staving off tho abandonment
of tlie road The lower end or
the railroad parallells the S&ntee
river from Summ^rton to Wilson Mill.
The business men in Camden and
Sumter feel that enough business can
be gotten for the Camdeii-Sumter
branch to keop it operating, especially
If the Atlantic Coast Dine Railway
will take over this branch and lot
Camden be the terminus of some of
the trains that now stop off at Sumter
each night. Reside trucking and
bus competition, another thing that
hurt the railroad is that timber has
been cut from the large forest along
the railroad, and large saw mills are
no longer In business.

ITINERANT BEGGARS
One of the abuses thut has developed
under the present set up for social
reform Is the abuse of tho government
camps set up throughout the
country. The itinerant pauper travels
from one purt to another, -gets his
lodging and meals free, rides on to
the next sheltering fold and meets the
same kindly reception. He is given
a new pair of overalls, a new shirt
and shoes "nint socks when his own
become end bare. In the end lie
becomes a confirmed beggar, shameless
and indolent. He learns no
moans of honost support. He drifts
Into the Idea that n benevolent government
really owes him his living
with no corresponding effort on his
part to help himself The great army
of Itinerant beggars continue to grow.
The restless traveler makes the
rounds, then starts all over again repeating
his Journey. Just what may
he expected in the matter of real rehabilitation
does not appear. In fact,

the process.?Union Times.

Camp For Children
Oi Poorer Means
Hon WyiHlham Maiming was the
guest orator at tho Rotary luncheon
on Thursday. Ralph Shannon had
charge of the program
Mr. Manning's subject was "The
Constitution and States Rights." He
said that South Carolina should Hn no
way surrender Its states rights to the
national government, and only favored
an amendment of the Federal Constitution
In an extreme emergency.
Mr. Mannlug said that with mixed
races in this state and other conditions
that states rights must be upheld
to the last degree.. He referred
to Federal legislation, particularly the
Costlgou- Wagner bill, which would
muke South Carolina very subservient
to federal rulings, which would surrender
certain law enforcements and
privlledges to the Federal government,
which under certain leaderships
might not be so friendly.
The program next week will be In
charge of R. M. Kennedy, Jr., and
the following two weeks In charge
of W. L. DePass and George Creed.
Sam Karesh made a report on the
camp for the underprivlled&ed children

work of the Exchange Club In raising
funds and also for the nice contribution
from the club itself. He
said that the sponsors for the camp
were most fortunate In having Warren
Harris in charge of the finances
of the camp, and knew that everything
would be run In a most efficient
manner. One hundred children
will be invited to the camp, sixty
from the county and forty from Camden,
and anyone knowing of a child
eligible for the camp to report same
to members of the Exchange or Rotary
Club.

Robinson military elephants whose
drills had delighted thousands.

died soon after at the age of 110
years, and hundreds flocked to the
public funeral here. Her three companions
were kept at times at the
Cincinnati zoo ami at the Robinson
farm in the suburbs.

FORECLOSURES HOLC LOANS
D. S. Mathesou, state manager of
the Home Owners Loun Corporation,
announced Saturduy that foreclosures
of mortgages in South Carolina would
begiu immediately. While it is the
purpose of the corporation to save
homes for the borrowers, the loans
are in no sense a gift but absolutely
on a definite business basis; that the
money advanced was advanced as a
loan that must be repaid, and not as
a gift. The corporation has started
foreclosures in six counties in this
state already. The servicing department
is keeping close check upon
those who have obtained, loans and
it is the hope that all borrowers will
comply and save their homes. Foreclosure
of mortgages will be recommended
and commenced in all cases
where tho borrowers are not making
reasonable effort to keep up their payments
and wherever it is necessary
to protect and preserve the security
of the corporation.
