N6v. 22.?With a comploto ^gplay of mastery, Beaufort's Tidal Wave toppled the powerful Camden Bulldogs from the ranks of tho mighty today, swamping their old rivals un[ ^ a score of 36 to 0, to win the bower State title.s. About 2,500 persons witnessed the claBh mid ut thd flnUli, the most ardent Bulldog admirer was forced to admit that the goaufort wave was superior In every department of the game. Beaufort enI tered the game the underdog, but a I minute or two after the fray began, r wah jn complete command of the sit[. uation On the third play of tho game, Beaufort scored, and from then on F piled up yardage and running plays, and never took to the air, with but two or three exceptions. Camden was outrushed and time after time their ba|i carrier was thrown for big losses. Beaufort's blocking and tackling was almost perfect, and the entire P game was played in the Camden territory. From the lirst whistle the impending avalanche which the home team was to unleash with relentlessness 1 was evident as the Tidal Wave pushed on to its highest score of tin; year, the result of which Coach McLendon's team will light it out with Croat Kalis tor tile state championship. The entire Beaufort line was-alert and completely overmastered their opponents. their tackling and blocking " being vicious at times, and slowed the Camden team up. It would be ;... difflinit to name the star of the Beaufort bai.kfleld. Bazemore, Collier, Owens and Baldwin, the starting ' backs, playing a bang up game, and many tiurt's during the contest Canii don actually lost the ball. For Beaufort. Bishop and Levy starred for Beaufort's defense in the line. Camden resorted to a number of passes, r but was only able to complete two for a total of 15 yards. To the Beauofrt t<*am must go the credit of running their plays with precision and almost perfect timing. The game was handled by officials furnished to Beaufort by the Southern Conference association. ' Pos. Camden (0) Beaufort (36) LB?Nolan H. Baldwin LT?Wooten R.

First, it affords one an opportunity to participate in the greatest organization on earth for the relief of human suffering and want. Second, it gives one the assurance that he is trying to be a good neighbor, actuated by .a desire to be his brother's helper. While memberships in the Ked Cross may be taken out at any time, tlie annual Ked Cross Roll Cull comes to an end on Thanksgiving Day. Poisons who have not been approached for membership may still secure them by sending in their donations or checks to T. Kirk land Trotter, Camden, S. C., treasurer Kershaw County j Chapter. Let's everyone join the Ked j Cross and provide a fund with which to -relieve distress in our neighborhood when it comes.-?Douglas McArn, chairman.

Funds Needed For Lake Property hditor of liie Chronicle: In jour November 1 issue, there appears an article concerning the Hermitage I-ake in which certain statements were made, which should be explained a Jiule more in detail, and the present smuts of the. Hermitage Lake brought to the attention of tile people of Camden and its immediate vicinity. In the last paragraph of Colonel Fulps article, he says "the Hermitage Lake was given to Kershaw connt> by the Hermitage Cotton Mill, and. liieretore. those who participate in \arious tonus of recreation in the lake and on its banks receive privileges without cost " in the Urst place, the Hermitage Lake was not given i to Kershaw county b> the Herniilage t otton Mill, but was leased without monetary consideration, for a period of ten years, commencing January 2a, l":U. with tin* option to purchase the property lying North and Fust of the paved highwa> from Camden to Dishopville and South and Last of V. S. Highway No. 1. containing One Thousand acres, more or less, for $35.OU per aire. This contract was made between the Hermitage Cotton Mill and Kershaw county, and provides that a commission be appointed consisting of a representative appointed by the Hermitage Cotton Mill, a representative appointed by the Chairman of the Doard of Directors for Kershaw county, a representative appointed by the Mayor or City Council of the City of Camden, a representative appointed by the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Gommerce, and a representative appointed by the JCershaw County Fish and Game Association, to manage the property as a recreationaUcenter. . This commission was authorized "to charge for the maintenance and support of the premises as a recreational center a sum which, in their discretion, Is just and proper, for each person utilizing the premises; said commission will further be authorized to deny the right to any person to utilize the premises whp shall not pay the said maintainences charge or who shall by his acts damage the premises or become a nuisance, or who shall breach any of the laws of the State of South Carolina pertaining to the conservation of fish, game and forest and any other laws of the Staff while upon tin* said premises." Cut il recently, the E. It. A. supplied caretakers, and the Hermitage Lake Commission is keeping Henry I toy kin as superintendent of the place, hut in order to have the property properly protected and cared for, it is going to he necessary to make adequate preparation for the continuous supervision of the premises. For the past two weeks, the commission has endeavored to determine how sufficient funds can be -raised to provide this supervision, but have been unable to determine any other possible program than, to try to interest those sportsmen in Camden and Kershaw county who are Interested in making the Hermitage Lake a permanent success. Unless there is some response by the people of Camden and the county In purchasing monthly and annual permits, we will not be able to maintain the property which would mean that we would perhaps lose it. The Hermitage Lake, is too important to the community to allow It to go unused and unprotected. Government funds have practically stopped and about the end of this month the project will have been completed, the duty then becomes ours, as citizens, to provide the malntainence costs. The Hermitage Lake Commission is anxious to do its part in trying to preserve the lake for the people of the county. We have no money, nor have we the desire to foist upon the i people something they are not Interested In. Interest In the Hermitage Lake must be real and the people must be responsive in order for us to carry on. Those interested in obtaining permits are asked to contact C. H. Zemp, secretary of the commission. -T~~ John K. deLo&ch, ?J Chairman, Hermitage Lake Commission. Alex Vaught, colored, said to have been 106 years old, died at Lenoir, If. C., last Tueeday.
