nioui distinguished eon," llern4
Mauuea Baruch, financier of Now
York and Georgetown, told 87 gradten
of the state military college
JJj#y that the world does not owe
Htm a living.
' There are no doore closed to the
fit and the able," Mr. Baruch aaid.
Ha gcoffed at doctrlnea which savor
ot defeatism and frustration and asgalled
dependence on government for
mpport. The "lost generation," ho
aaid, i? not that of y?utb- but tbo
generation which has surrendered to
the adversity of hard times and
tbicb has given up the light.
Describing war as "a hideous monsler
the remaining leftover from our
primitive savugery and animalism,"
garuch Bald that when the curse of
?ar falls on a nation, "It is of the
yery essence of free and democratic
government that every man's debt for
the privilege of peace and protection
becomes due and payable. It is the
duty of every citizen to serve" In that
place in which it shall best serve the
common good."
Congratulating the cadets on the
type of education received at The Citadel.
he told them: "Yours is a doubly
glorious accolade. You have been
fitted for both the burdens and the
benefits of our national life.
"I congratulate yoU and salute you."
Barueh was awarded the degree of
doctor of laws and Colonel John P.
Thomas, chairman of the board of
visitors, slipped the hood about his
shoulders.

C Heifers, Addison, 111.; anonymous
engineering prize, William E. Bryan,
Allendale; business administration
award, Maruon E. Speigner, St. Matthews.
"We hear a great deal about the
lost generation," Mr. Baruch said,
the oncoming waves of youth through
the depression and even now, who, so
the saying is, 'never had a chance.'
There is a lost generation but it is
?ot yours. This is a sort of defeatism
hat should never be heard on the
hps of youth. It is a way of saying
'hat because the going is not quite
as easy as once It was, or as It yet

Ancient Bullet
In Heart Of Tree 1
e
While cutting a chunk of pine wood '
lhat had been left at his home with ^
& load taken from what is known as a
Gum Swamp, C, C. Whitaker, member h
of the Camden cUy council, dlscoy- 11
ered a lead bullet imbedded in what
was originally the heart of the tree. 6
Whether the mlssle was from a *
British or American cannon has not "
been determined. But as Gum Swamp
was a part of the area where the bat- ?
tie of Camden was fought, It Is defl-. J
nitely known that it came from a field
piece used by one of the forces en- I
gaged In the conflict. 0
The piece of wood with the lead ]
bullet was from a tree that was fully
two and a half feet In diameter and
judging from the location of the bul- 1
let, was at the time of the battle a [
small tree, three or four Inches in (
diameter. The wood shows where the
bullet entered the tree. ^
The Battle of--Camden "was fought ~t
on August 16, 1780 and resulted In a 8
victory for the British Army.
Lightning Played Pranks 8
T. F. Horton, of the Gates Ford sec- f
tlon, was In Camden yesterday and
was telling of lightning striking the ?
house of his son-in-law, D. A. West,
on Wednesday. There wefe five peopie
In the six-room house at the time,
but no one was seriously hurt. A
baby was knocked unconscious but
soon revived, A long strip of shlng- *
lei was torn from the roof, and weath- 8
erboardlng on two sides of the house 1
was ripped off. The bolt went under ^
the house and bursted the rocks supporting
the house. The residence was
not set afire.
Mr. Horton says the storm occurred
around five o'clock and was accom- r
papted by high winds, and one of the ?
heaviest rains of recent years. Quite
a lot of damage was done to growing i
crops caused by the washing of the f
lands. c
