Poppy Day To Be Observed Here 1 ??? Poppy Day will bo observed in Camden thin year on Saturday, May 23, when memorial poppies to be worn In honor of the World War dead will be distributed throughout the city by the James Leroy llelk Unit of the American l^eglon Auxiliary. The auxiliary women are making extensive preparations for the observance of the .day under the leadership of Mrs. Carl West, Poppy Day chairman. The poppies, made of crepe paper by disabled veterans, will be offered on the streets by volunteer workers from the Auxiliary Unit and cooperating organisations. "Poppy girlB" will distribute the the flowers in the business district throughout the day, and ' will also work In the outlying shopping centers. Contributions for the I welfare of the disabled veterans and needy families of veterans will be asked in exchange for the flowers. "Wearing the poppy is a personal tribute to the men who gave their lives in the country's service." "By having a poppy on the coat on Poppy Day, all can show that they still remember and honor the sacrifices made for America during the World War. The poppy is the flower which bloomed on the battle fields whore they fell and on Poppy Day it blooms again over the patriotic hearts where they are remembered. "Wearing the poppy also gives the wearer a part in the vast work carried out by The American Legion and Auxiliary for the war's living victims; the disabled, their families and the families of the dead. Every penny contributed for a poppy goes to the support of this work, the bulk of the money being used here in Camden in the welfare activities of local Legion Post and Auxiliary Unit.

Governor and Road Body Divide Support Columbia, May 6.?The state highway conflict flared up at approximately one-fourth of the county Democrat-, ic conventions. Delegates at most of the 46 county seats voted almost unanimous approval of Franklin D. Roosevelt's candidacy for re-election, but split sharply over Governor Olln Johnston's highway policies. The Saluda convention demanded a "return" to state rights. Allendale and Anderson Indorsed United States Senator James F. Byrnes for re-election; Greenville favored it. Leppard of Greenville for re-election as state chairman, and Aiken urged the senate to confirm Prampton W. Toole, Johnston's highway commission appointee. ~ ' - Party officials estimated off-hand that between 12,000 'and 15,000 local delegates attended county conventlonfe over the state. There were nearly 700 at Charleston, 600 at Columbia, 550 at Greenville, and 350 at Florence. The governor's program for a new road administration won endorsement at Aiken, Anderson, Spartanburg and Abbeville, though opponents at Abbeville protested the question was raised there too late to get a representative vote. Florence delegates elected a Johnston slate and applauded commendation of the governor by Major Frank Barnwell, commander of the troops for nearly two months last year at Johnston's orders. ^ Colleton county Democrats indorsed the governor as a delegate to the national convention, it was reported, and the Anderson convention sup?ported him for national executive committeeman. Conventions representing Orangeburg, Laurens and Bamberg counties rejected resolutions approving his highway stand, however. The Allendale convention adopted measures expressing approbation of I highway reorganization and bond acts I which the governor vetoed. The Union delegates divided 41 to 41 on a resolution praising the Johnston administration, but voted against J legislative approval of bond issues I without provision for submitting them I to the people of the county. } Orangeburg Democrats adopted a resolution praising the governor and I chief highway commissioner, Ben I Sawyer, his principal foe, personally, j Bamberg convention members tabled, 88 to 26, a resolution condemning the legislature for failure to coI operate with the governor/ and electI ed a chairman and state committeeI man listed as opposing the governor. I Senator Oarroll Nance of Laurens I attacked Johnston for what he termI ed disregard of the law in his efforts I to upset the highway commission, the I Laurens convention then tabled a reI solution indorsing the state admlnij tratlon.
