A Utile more than a decade ago there came to Camden from our neighboring eiiy of Humter a young man who was placed in charge of the business of the' Northwestern Railroad at this point. .,Very soon after coming here, by roue on of Ills untiring zeal, j his tU'cut abilities, his friendly interest in oniernund in-nH-mutters loookiug to tile common good, lie established himself as oho of the leaders in tills community, and lie continued to grow, so thut for the past several years there has been ,no more popular or influential Man-"in .Camden. In spite of tin* depression lie built up a fine business for liis road out of Camden; in Isttts, very large part of the freight slit typed iSotn or coining into Camden wuk Tmtted over tin* Northwestern railroad, which he served. He. was vitally interested in till public affairs and he was a leader in practically every movement in the community looking to the common ] welfare of t he people. For several years lie was Ccucral Chairman of the Kershaw County Fair Committee, bavins on his shoulders practically Lhe, entire responsibility of that undertaking; and he succeeded admirably, as every one knows The fine fairs that the county has bad during the past several years are due almost entirely to his untiring work and the fine qaul-' ity?of leadership that he possesses. No man (bat litis been among us during the past ten years has left a larger Impress on the hearts and uRnds of the people among whom in* moved, lie goes away from us with the love, admiration and respect of our cltizenslilp generally. Only a week ago death came into IiIh home and took from him his life'H partner, after a long Illness which had baffled medical science. The heart of this community and county has gone out to Mr. Walsh in his great sorrow. Now that he is leaving us we want to say to him that Camden is a better place in which to live because of his residence here, and that we wish for him in the future Joy and huppiness and a long continued life of usefulness among those whom he moves and lives. Camden's loss Is Cheraw's gain. If that charming city will use Mr. Walsh as Camden has they will find that they may do so to their great advantage. Dr. tturris A. Jenkins, pastor of the Community church, Kansas City, Mo., favors early marriage by removal of economic barriers with government aid, declaring that early marriages would be boon to morality.

Bethune Citizens Have Case Settled! I Some lime ago t It Ik paper carried j an article from a York county paper1 relative to the death of a colored man ' In that county by being struck by an! automobile driven by cither John Kdtvln King or John Neal McDaurin, ; young men of Ilothune. Thin week thul cane was disposed of in the Court of; Cienernl Sessions of York county At tin* time we printed the article} from the other paper we had not in-, terviewed the young men nor any | one in this county who knew anything! of the circumstances. It now appears that these voting men, with Mr, King I driving, and a young lady in the automobile with them, were going from ! Clover to York on Christmas night; i that while going through a dense fog j .in the road, unfortunately, the car lilt i n colored man whom they had not | been able to see. There were a num- i her of other colored people on the j road at that time. The young men did not think that they hud hurt the man and, since it was Christmas night, with the usual Christmas drinking, and too, not wishing to Involve the young lady, they drove on; and it wuh not until some months later they realized that the negro wus killed. Even yet no one is entirely sure that their car was the one that caused the death of the unfortunate man. IngestigatIon by the officers showed plainly that the hitting of the negro was purely an accident occasioned by the dead man's own negligence, and no indictment for involuntary manslaughter was handed out. Mr. King was indicted for failing to stop, as t required by the statutes, to which indictment he plead guilty rather than! no through a court tight, and paid aj line ?if $ir,11.

Osteon In Huluniuy'H Sumter Item) 'J he Sumter high school football team, playing the first game of the HouHon yesterday afternoon, ran Into a hiibky, fighting eleven from Camden high school, but with the aid of a fluke puss huiig up a 0 to 2 victory. The Gamecocks scored their lone touchdown In the third quarter, following a drive that curried to Cam-I den h 20 yard line. The Camden line | stiffened at this point and threw I'lay?r for a three-yard loss. Mcintosh then stepped back to pass and Player i sped down the field to receive the toss. Player was ulmost on the goal line, hut covered by two Camden men, j when Mcintosh turned the pigskin loose. One of the Camden men apparently hud the ball in his grasp, I but Instead of catching it, he topped the oval over his shoulder. It landed squarely Into Player's urms and the Gamecock quarterback stepped over the goal line. The try for the extra point with u placekick was blocked, but the extra point was not needed. The scoring pluy came after the ' amdenltes bud turned back several dangerous drives by the locals. Fumbles at crucial points and fa lip re of the interference to function smoothly ] played a big part in breaking up Gamecock drlvcB. Camden's safety was also scored in the third quarter. A nice punt put Sumter back on her own 17 yurd line. Watt went around end for a gain or IK yards, but tho referee brought the ball back and penalized Sumter 1*. yards because one of the blockers bad used his hands. With the ball almost on the goal line, Player went back to punt. The pass from center was high and went through Player's hands and lolled out of the end zone for an automatic safety. Sumter gained most of her yardage oil long end sweeps, while Camden found the center of the Gamecock line weak and ripped through for sizeable gains time after time. A double pasH back of the line of s? rimmage, followed by a half-spinner was Camden's best play. This play, with Kabon usually lugging the ball, was use<i time after time with telling effect, the Gamecocks apparently having no adequate defense against it. I he game was attended by on- of the largest crowds that has ever turned out for an opening game here. The spectators, as well us the places, suffered from the heat, the weather being more adapted to baseball than the gridiron sport. Pet ween halves the crowd stood in reverent silence while taps v. as Bounded for I>r S. 11. Edmunds, mm of the Gamecocks' most loyal fans I lie tlrst quarter of the game was a ding-dong affair, with neither t- .un being able to register a first down In the second quarter the Gamecocks lost a great chamf- to s, ore a touchdown when Wilson broke through and blocked a punt and picked up the ball with a clear field before him and two of his teammates to run Interference. Apparently thinking the ball was dead, Wilson grounded it after running a few steps. Again In the second quarter the Gamecocks advanced the ball to the Camden six yard line, but after running four plays the ball was still five yards from the goal line. A 20-yard dash around end by Goodson and a line play good for six yards by Player brought the ball into scoring position. The half ended as Rabon slipped* around end for 13 yards" antf Hafsall added five more for^th.e -vipkprs."^ ' ^ -The ball vfas put into position fQr Sumter a scoring play In'-the third quarter b\ an 18 yard end nnv*?by^Goodson, a short gain -tffrfrft^Ji -Gig hue by Player and an oncT sweep W Watt that yielded l." more yards. In the fourth quarter Player got loose for the longest gain of the game, a 22-yard canter around end that brought the ball up to the Camden 2->yard line, a pass from this point, however, was intercepted l.v Camden ending the drive. Camden started a little drive of her own just before the gam. ended -Xla^arr_4LuiiuL- Lkrough I healing :(.r 12 yards and Nolan getting IS on an endaround play. The whistle ending the game put a stop to this drive near mid-field. I he Gamecocks looked good at times throughout the game, while i\t other times they appeared ragged, riie interference was not taking out tacklers as it should and manv plavs were jammed up before they were well under way. The Camden line outplayed the Sumter forward wall most of the time, although the locals had a slight advantage in weight, tirst downs were even, each team getting five. Only one penalty was called throughout the game. Broadway. Kirkley. Alford and Isemnn showed up well in Sumter's line, while Player. Goodson. 'Watt. Teckle and Mcintosh showed flashes of good form in the backtleld. For Camden. Nolan In the line and Kabon in the backfleld were outstanding. The Gamecocks are due for a week of hard work to iron out the kinks apparent in yesterday's game.

Lee Little told the Rotary Club of the triula and tribulations of the amusement game at Its Thursday's meeting. He made strictly a shop talk covering his classification in the club, which is "amusements." He told of tiie difficulties of getting pictures that suit the audience, and that a picture which would go over good in Camden would be a flop elsewhere. He told of how the picture "Naughty Marietta" went over in Camden and what a flop It was in North Ca rolina. He said that it was necessary to sien a contract for pictures a year before <hey were released, and that all pictures must he shown, whether good or bad. He said that producers would sandwitch in a good picture among poor pic tures, so as to be able to get rid of all of their productions, which were tied up in a yearly contract. He also mentioned that his overhead expense was just as much with a poor picture as a feature picture and that it is necessary to work hard ut all times to keep his customers' interested in attending the picture shows. Sam Karesh will have charge of next week's program, and the following week, the District Governor of the ,">8th District will be the special guest of the club, which will be his annual visit. The visiting Rotarian . was T. C. Scaffe. of Spartanburg, former coach I of the Wofford College football team, and tiie guest visitor was Mr. Rowe Izlar. of Orangeburg. The Rotary Club voted to donate $ >0.00 to a fund to be used in buying poor children school books. TRAGEDY WRITTEN BY RECORD The editor of The Press and Standard has been made sad twice this week. He has not been alone in this feeling, we are sure. There are homes .whgje sadness and woe have been t&reside_comnanion? of mothers* wives ?inr ..mjieL-lmsed ones. :? The first occasion was when four young men. some of them of ttne family connections in this state, stood in the court room, and publicly admitted their guilt in connection with the robbery of the Rank of Smoaks. 'I he other was when three young men, snuu- of them mere boys, stood and publicly confessed that they had broken into a drug store in Walterbo ro and took merchandise'therefrom. .-ill Llle dead ul niaht. Them* hity? are our boys, and we sorrowed over the anguish they were causing their families. This brought home to us the sadness and the tragedy of such acts. Of course this was the manly thing to do, after having engaged in these robberies. They will till receive sentences and will probably serve time in an alleged correctional institution. I he sixty-third annual convention of the International Association of Fire Chiefs is in session at Knoxville, Tonn . this week, with about 2,000 delegates in attendance. Three Year# For Bigamy Court adjourned hero Tuesday, aftor trying hut a few cases as most of | the cases were postponed for one reason or another. The most severe sentence meted out by Judge Johnston | was to Joseph 8. Wilson, of Florida, who pleaded guilty to bigumy. Judge ; 1J Johnston severely rebuked this young j man when he came before the bar j ' to pleud guilty. The Judge said' h? was in no frumc of mind at that time to pronounce sentence and deferred action until later when he sentenced the young man to serve five years in the penitentiary or on the chain gang, but stipulated that two years of sentence be suspended so that Wilson will have to serve but three years. This young man married a Kershaw girl, although he had a wife in Florida.?Lancaster News. Thieves robbed the home of George ! A. Hormel, multimillionaire, at I-os Angeles, Cal., and carried away $500,UUU in non-negotiable bonds and*a fur coat. The only value to the thieves is the fur coat. A man at Newark, N. J., went haywire and killed two of his brothers and a nephew, and then phoned the police that-lie had killed three men and was committing suicide. When ' the police arrived at the house they found the four men dead. Wants-For Sale CALL CREED'S FILLING STATION?j 1 For Free Road Service. Only equipped free air service truck in the ' city.
