T. V. WALSH, JR.
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.
Those young men are among Kcr-[
sliiiw county's best families. They I
are line high toned gentlemen, and,
Tiie Chronicle regrets the trouble
they?have been occasioned j

Gamecocks Down
Camden In Contest
< By li. I). 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."^ '

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. Next
I* rtday Rishopville will furnish the
opposition on the Sumter field

thing* accomplished by lite Chamber
of Commerce that 1* not known outaide
of die board of director*. It in
hoped that everyone will have a voice
in the program for the coming year,
ami many things pf importance are
planned, and the whole hearted cooperation
of all citizena will be notesaary
to put over tiie programs.
There will he aeverai lurge convention*
to he held in Camden during
the coming year and there are
poHBibilitiea of bringing new trade into
Camden, aa well aa many other
thinga that will help build up the town
and county, and for this reaaon the
ltotury Club and the Kxchange Club
decided to lend a helping hand, uml
both cluba have appointed eommitteea
to tnuke this booater supper a sueceaa.
Tiie two cluba have nearly
eighty members and each member ia
expected to tiring a gueat to the dinner,
Aa with the Progress dinner, it
will not be a Camden affair, but leadera
in ail part of the county are expected

Marjy citizena of the county will
have important auggeationa to offer
at the dinner.
There will lie no long apeechea that
night, and everyone will be able to return

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.

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.
