Friday, April 9, 1937 A REJUVENATED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Camden and Knrahuw County Chamber <>f Commerce waa organized for ihe promotion and development of Camden and Kerahaw County aa a whole For several years, because of a lack of funds, thin organisation has been more or less limping along, and has not been able to accomplish to u large degree the objects for which it was intended. A few weeks ago ihe Camden and Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce was able to secure the services of Frank H. Heath, un experienced and accomplished chamber of commerce man, to ad as Its secretary, and immediately upon his taking charge as secrejary, things began to bum Ho has brought about un efficient, working, merchants organization In the city Ho was Instrumental largely In bringing the tremendous crowds to the Curolinu Cup races just held. He bus secured the promise of the Seaboard Air Une Hallway that its station building and grounds will be materially Improved and beautified during the summer, and he has done many other things already, shoeing that he is Interested, efficient and ulert. Perhaps the biggest thing that he is trying to do Is to knit the, people of the county and the city more closely together even than they are now. and to make the institution a real Chamber of Commerce for the] whole county, and for the benefit of all tlx.* people of the county. Under his guidance the Chamber of Commerce la promoting at this time a large Trade exposition to be shortly held here, cooperated In by the people nil over tlx* county. Mr. MeaUi says that Camden is the capital city of tlx* county, the trade center of the county, that many of the people of Camden came from the rural sections outside of Camden, that there are already strong ties of blood and friendship which should be more closely cemented, and this he propos- j ed to do by bringing the people of tlx* county and tlx* people of the city together in every possible way and at every possible time. Mr., Heath wants io meet and the people generally ull over the county, and he requests that when the citizens of the county come to Camden they take a moment's time to drop by the office of the Chamber of Commerce In the Crocker lhilldlng across from the post office, so that he may meet them and know them. The Chronicle deslreb to say that you will find in Mr Heath a fine, approachable gentleman, vitally interested In everything that goes to the upbuilding of Canulen and Kershaw county. He will be much interested in any suggestions that any of our good citizens have to offer him. and he will he delighted to have their acquaintance and friendship. Already Mr. Heath has done wonders With the aid and cooperation of our'citizens lx* will do much more.

III .. Old Building Being Renovated I (My Frank if. Iloath) There are flbuu epam-les In the vari Iouh stories uh to the age of the Ivy Lodge Hotel In thin city, but It is generally admitted .that any guess between 102 and 174 year* would be fairly accurate. Hut the fact remalna that away hack In the days when exquisite colon* lal damoH with hoop skirts were paid court by gullanta in waist coata and knee britches with lacy cuffs and collara, the spacious rooms in this old Htructuro resounded to their merry laughter and to the lilting strains of stringed instruments as they danced the stately minuet. And so for that reason, travelers wlfo delight In visiting and living within the cloistered walls of these old and stutely buildings will delight in the announcement that the ivy Lodge, located on Hroad street in this city, Is being ronovuted und modernised to a certain extent and will be one of the attractive stopping places for the tourist und motorist. The modernisation is not going to alter the colonial aspect and atmosphere of this stately place. Bedrooms with lire places will slinply become modern to the extent of having baths udded to the rooms while the old walls and wood work is being covered with colonial design wall paper and two tone ivory trim. . The partition that separated the entrance hall from the room which our grandmothers called the "parlor" has been removed and a large and commodious hotel lobby created. But the winding old spindle stairway will remain and the eyes may scan the classic aruhways. The big verandas with pillars, both on the first and second floors will offer the guest the opportunity to relax in easy chairs and at certain hours of the day Indulge in a sun hath. In the lobby where once the tinkle of the old spinet was heard now sounds the music from the radio. On the asphalt street outside of the hotel, the "clump-clump" of the horse has given way to the ruinous siren and horn of the aiHomoblle. But It does not require much , stretch of the imagination to sit in an easy chair in the lobby and permit the mind to wander hack one hundred ! and fifty years and see again the gay i young people making merry within! the walls of this ancient edifice. A. It. Moseley, a Camden hoy, is; responsible for the hand of magic now being waved over the Ivy Lodge. Moseley has been In the hotel business In eastern North Carolina and In Florida for over twelve years and Is j well known to the traveling public. He is making this old dwelling Into a fascinating stopping place for the weary traveler. Another interesting feature of this building is that it Is the birthplace of the famous Bernard Baruch, well known and nationally famous financier. I)r. Baruch, one of Camden's old time physicians lived in this building and his office is now the office of Dr. Andrew Will taker. The writer sat on the spacious veranda the other night and In his fancy could visualize under a soft southern tnoon some of the scenes that must i have taken place in the quaint garden , that lies in front of the place. No one , knows what tragedies were written i into the lives of many who trod these i winding paths or stood under the mammoth trees. If the old monarchs ' of the forest could but speak, what stories might they tell of the days of | the wars. , I inly, the Ivy Ixnlge is well worth visiting. One Killed and Two Injured in Wreck1 i In an automobile wreck near Cassatt Saturday morning. Roy Bogle, 3f?. of Philadelphia, and F. W. Foreman. 40, of Baltimore, were so badly hurt, that Foreman died in the Camden hospital from a fractured skull | Monday. Bogle Is said to bo suffering from Internal injuries.

Goodale, I odd. the driver of the Rockingham * ar was ordered held, j '1 he Rockingham car is said to have struck the rear wheel of the Baltimore car. causing it to turn over The Rockingham car did not turn I over but came to a stop in a field I some distance from the highway.

' The big race ycaterday waa for the Carolina cup, the throfc nillea affair over eighteen jumpa, *theae being of fence and brush, aoine of each kind, and it was won by "Fugitive" with ! "Indigo" aecond. "Indigo" won thia race laat year and It waa hoped by bis j backers that he would be the first horse to win thia race twice. It never has been done. "Indigo" is ten years old anyway and could not got ahead of the younger horse ulthough he did manage to make second place. I The second race In interest was the Springdale cup, named for the Camden race course. Only four horses finally made up the field in this race, j "Birmingham," the favorite won by a nose over "Golden Heel."
