A QUITTER NEVER WINS The race for the Chevrolet and other awards, which the Camden Chronic icle is giving in the Prosperity Cash " and Prize Campaign, Is In full swing. Hut few of the candidates have ac' tnally put out real work thus far and as usual in a campaign of this kind many have dropped out. There has not been sufficient time to hear from some of the late entrants -but It is presumed that the ones who mean business will make an effort to get their names up near the top of the list. All candidates who have made any effort have secured subscriptions and -are not finding it a very hard matter to sell The Camden Chronicle to the people and are going ahead making nice commission for themselves and striving for the major awards. It is our intention to remove the names of the inactive candidates from the list when we find they are not doing any- j thing to protect their interests. It will not be many days before the real workers will forge to the front with a large credit total which their activity has earned. The stamp f of approval has been placed upon the campaign and many favorable comments have been made regarding the fairness and the reliability of this wonderful pay day plah. It is apparent, as the campaign progresses, that many will gladly give their subscription to their favorite candidates. Intense, though sup pressed excitement prevails among the few who have entered to date; JBach realizes that lie or she is within reach of a prize worth hundreds of dollars depending upon the number of subscriptions turned in during the next two weeks while the largest credits are In effect. This" race is still wide open and no one has a lead that could not be overcome by some ambitious man L or woman with a little effort during their spare time. The lowest candii date on the list could, by a spurt 1 Set enough subscriptions by Tuesday night and take the lead in this race, 't can be done. Do not become discouraged if you are not among the leaders at this count?the race is still young; it is anyones race so far. Perhaps the winner of the Chevrolet has not even \ Parted yet?you might be that win[ ner if you entered today. Stop putting off until tomorrow?come on in and win!

Midway 4-H Club Girls at State Fair The Midway Four-H Club girls of Section One reorganized their club last Friday, October 4, with a large number present. The meeting was called to order by the Home Demonstration Agent, Miss Margaret Fewell. She gave a very interesting talk on the Four-H Club girls booth. 4 The club elected, new officers for the coming year. Miss Emily McCoy was re-elected president; Miss Mary Laney, vice president, and Miss Dorothy West, secretary. These three were, unanimously elected. With a majority of votes, 'Miss Margarette Anderson was elected publicity chairman. The club is honored in having four of their girls to represent Kershaw county at the state fair. Miss Dorothy West was one of the state blue ribbon winners at the State Short Course at Winthrop. Miss Mary Laney represents Kershaw county in the state health contest. Miss Emily McCoy is entering the yeast bread contest as a contestant from this county. She is also entering the poultry judging contest. These three girls are competing for trips to the National Girls and Boys Congress in Chicago. Miss Margarette Anderson will enter the poultry judging contest to be held on Tuesday of the state fair. It was also a great honor for the club to have Miss Dorothy West elected president of the first Four-H Junior Council of South Carolina at the State Short course. These are not only honors for the Midway Club but for Kershaw county as a whole. Anti-Tuberculosis Work Still Going On All rural high schools have been visited and the majority of the pupils have been given the tuberculin test. Thirteen those having positive reactions have been examined by X-ray and appointment has been made for fifteen others now on the waiting list. Every one seems to be vitally interested in this program and continues to give loyal support and cooperation to the workers. This is well since it is hoped that the results will prove of lasting benefit not only to individuals but to the county as a whole. There is no just reason why tuberculosis may not be stamped out in the comparatively near future since sufficient knowledge is available for those who so desire it, to accomplish this end. Several families with newly discovered cases have been visited and instructions given pertaining to the prevention of the spread of the disease. This feature of the work requires much time on the part of the workers yet it is the most effective method in the control of tuberculosis. The people of Kershaw county are fortunate in securihg the services of a'trained tuberculosis worker through Ahe efforts of the Kershaw County ^^erculosls Association.

It was his contention that Connecticut Conditions were particularly suited to the requirements of this type of stock. While engaged in expanding Ridgewood farm Mr. Russell was also instrumental in the formation of 4-H clubs In this section, baby beef clubs in particular, and the first 4-H fairs were held on some of his extensive acres. He was greatly interested "in the work of the Middleton County harm bureau and did much to widen its scope and improve its service to the agrarian population. "In 1910 the Republicans of Middletown selected Mr. Russell as one of the representatives to the General Assembly. He was returned to that ofTlce in 1914 and again in 1916, achieving a good record. He was house chairman of the committee on agriculture and a member of the committee oh congressional and senatorial districts. | He was a leader in the movement that jinade the Portland-Mlddletown bridge a free bridge.
