I Wilson, all of Camden, recently visI
(ted tbe governor in regard to "Jack
I pot" or "bank nights." j
I -Bank" nights have almost disap-1
peared in South Carolina. Until a
I [ew months ago, they were a princiI
pal attraction each week in Columbia
I and probably in other cities and were
I instrumental ip Jamming cinema theI
iters to the doors; but they were rulI
ed illegal and so faded from the picI
ture.
j There are different plans of operaI
tlon, but ordinarily they worked someI
what like this. Patrons of a theatre,
I in buying their ticket of admission,
I were given a number on a card or a
I stub, and these cards were placed In
I a barrel or other receptacle. On
I bank" night, one number was^ drawn
I from the barrel. The holder of that
I number received $25 or $50 or $100?
I sometimes considerably more.
I If the number drawn was not claimI
ed, the money was carried over from
I one drawing night to another, so that
I at times, the "bank' had as much as
I $250 to $300 in it. These prizes nat
nrally stimulated attendance.?Tues

Little To Abide
Edict Of The Law
Acting under Instruction irom the
office of the governor, Sheriff MeLeod
has notified the management of the
Camden and Haiglar Theatres that
bank night will have to be discontinued.
The governor Indicated in his coinmuntcatlon
to the sheriff that the
state's attorney has ruled that bank
nights are lotteries and as such, are
illegal and must be halted.
The sheriff acknowledged receipt of
the order from tho governor and Immediately
communicated with T. Lee
Little, manager of the Camden picture
j theatres, who declared that he would
comply with the edict and that the
bank night this week would be the
last. '
It is understood that a group of
men from Lancaster first asked the
governor tip bear down on the bunk
night situation in KerBhaw county
and that later a group of men from
Camden went to Columbia and were
closeted with the governor to request
that he take steps to abate the bank
night events In Camden. This however
could not be verified.
Just what the outcome of the bank
night controversy will he can not he
foreseen. In many communities the
higher courts have ruled them Illegal
and in other places the promoters
have won out in legal testB and are
still operating the prize drawings.

First Cotton Bloom
Dr. R. E. Stevenson was the first
to bring in a cotton bloom for the
1937 crop. It was picked from his
farm In the Boykln section, about
eight miles south of Camden and was
handed in Wednesday morning.
W. P. McGuirt, also brought in a
bloom Tuesday afternoon and when
told that he was several hours late,
explained that his bloom was pink,
and that the blooms would turn pink
after ^,wo days, which would show
that his was at least two days eralier
than the Stevenson boll. As we do
not know our cotton we will have to
let McGuirt and Stevenson argue this
matter.
George W. BlruBon, of "Millway"
plantation reported a bloom on Wednesday.
G. B. Bell, of West Wateree, Was
the first to report a bloom for the
crop last year. It came In on June
16, 1936.

to bat on the project and with city
and county officials' cooperating, the
movement to have a new and wider
bridge constructed over the Wateree
river just south of Camden, has (aken
on marked Impetus the past
W 66K,
Those who are back of the movemeut
to secure a new and safe structure
are greatly elated over word re
celved -this week from the headquarters
of the United States No. l Highway
association, Inc., in Washington
to the effect that the association recognizes
the present Wateree river
bridge as being one of. the weak spots
on the highway and one that should
be improved as early as possible.
he Chamber of Commerce Is at
;?e?ent easaged In gathering data on
the bridge, particularly as to Its age
narrow width, condition of timbering'
and the like, and will submit this data
together with suggestions from city
and county officials to the next meetIng
of the directors of the U S No
1 Association.
The highway association, in a let8e^retary
Hea*b of the Camden
?hHt^er8Ma<W,C?Unty Chamb^ Btatea
that if all information above mentioned
can be submitted to the directors
thft|acjt,on wl'l be taken towards the
rebuilding of the present bridge or
construction of a new one. The association
plans to get every state
along the u. S. No. 1 route, from
Maine to Florida, Interested in the
r ge project and, if necessary secure
federal aid for the bridge construction
work.
The Camden Chamber officials, as
well as city and county oflfcials, are
not in favor of rebuilding and widening
the present bridge as this would
not eliminate the 8 curve, which highway
engineers regard as being a menace
to traffic.

Great Falls Here For
Ball Game Today
(By Frank 11. Huuth)
( uuiden busebttll faun will have an
opportunity to watch the local Juuior I
Legionnaire# in action Friday when I
they tackle the Great Fall# teuui in |
what promise# to be a real diamond
scrap ut the uew pastime pasture on
the Mum tor road.
This Great Falls team, it will be
remembered, was the aggregation
that almost put Camden out of the
running last season and it is reported
that the team is better this year,
which means that the tribe of Small
have a real fracas ahead of them If
they are to win this game.
The Camden gang Jaunted over to
WilliBton Tuesday and spunked the
home boys there 9 to 3 in a battle
thut huw Couch Small using the entire
personnel of his squad. The boys
looked mighty good in action and we
are more convinced that Camden will
be a top-notcher in the state race this
year.
1 hursday afternoon the boys opened
the local season against ^he Williston
outfit, the game being staged on
the new baseball dlumond at the fair
grounds.
The fans who did not jaunt out
Thursday afternoon to attend this
opening game should make it a point
to be Johnny on the spot for the Friday
tilt. It will be well worth witnessing
and give the fans an idea how
the boys really stack up against a
fast team.
The locating of the baseball activities
in the new pastime area at the
fail grounds will enable the team to
reully secure some revenue, as the
area Is fenced and those who want to
see the game must put down their
coin. At the high school grounds It
was necessary to pass the hat to get
money and this has never proven aM
profitable affair.
Rieger Addresses Exchange Club
Lxchangite W. C. McCarley, county
farm agent, brought to the club at
tills week's meeting a? guest speaker,
K. W. Rieger, district forester, with
offices at Camden, who delivered a
thoioughjy entertaining and informative
address on the work that is being
done in fire prevention in Kershaw
and other counties. He was
rip Pra*8e ?f County Fire Warden
W, C. Perry and mentioned that Kershaw
county had the smallest acreage
burned over by fire last year of
?ly^C?Unty. that haB adopted a Are
control system. He spoke too of the
loyal support given Mr. Perry by his
subordinates over the county.
Mr. Rieger also gave some very
Interesting facts and figures with reation
to conservation of the forests
in this state. He spoke of the rav#??ne
to."oup timber by sawmills
and fires and pointed to the danger
of further denuding our forests by
? j.aI?e PU,P mills recently eatable
?!? wuth CarolIna- He stated
for nnIn ^ wa8 plenty of timber
for pui& wood In this state, that un^
tPtelllgent, earnest
InA *k ,the part of the mill people
and the land owners, It would not
be many years before there would be
no timber In 8outh Carolina.
?,eger'B address was closely
followed by the Exchangltes and It
was considered one of the best the
club has enjoyed In recent months.

(Ily Frank 11. Heath)
Hilly Owuuh and Dewey Creed nettled
their argument an to which of
the species 1h the moat deadly-? the
mule or the female -and Hilly won
For the liedfearn Motors, offering all
manner of conceaHlona to the <JorI
geoua Gazelles, proceeded to win before
u record turnout of enthualuatlc
funa by a score of 10 to 8
The game went the full seven Inninga
with Thelmu Pearee traveling
the entire route for the girls team
and "Heck' Russell, the Adonis of the
Motors squad working the distance
for the Owens group.
: Much to the gleo und elation of the
hundreds and hundreds of cheering
fans and fanettes lining the side lines,
the maidens started scoring In the
first frame. The team had been carefully
selected by Manager Creed from
the personnel of the girls twilight
league and was virtually an all-star
outfit.
With Thelfha Pearce on the hill
and "Tiny" Hooth doing the catching,
the lineup found Laura Moseley doing
a swelligant Job at first station,
Davis a tower of strength at second
und Deul holding down third. Meyers
worked the shortstop Job and Lois
Hlackwell cavorted in the short center
position. Willie llaile Clarkson
waH In loft gurden, Mattle West In
center and Irby in right.
Davis waH first at bat for the lady
all-stars and was un easy out at first.
Hlackwell rolled one to Russell who
tossed her out at first. Then Clarkson
singled through short. Meyers
was safe on an error, Deal filed out
but Irby singled scoring Clarkson.
There was nothing registered by the
maids In the second but they came to
life with a bang In the third when
they pushed three counters home.
Hlackwell was safe on an error, Willle','
Clarkson was out but Mdyers singled.
Deal reached first on an error and
when West slashed out a long double,
two runs counted. Deal romped in a
few seconds later on an infield out.
The girls went on another three
run spree In the fourth when singles
by JDeal and Irby mixed with two errors
and a walk put Clarkson, Meyers
and Irby oyer the counting block.
Ah eighth run was scored in the
toeventh and it was only by a tightening
of the defense did the MotorB
stop the girls cold and prevent them
tying up the score.
j The Motors owed their victory to
in five run scoring feast in the second
Inning, after they had put one counter
across in the first. In the third
'another runner cantered in and two
markers were registered in the fourth.
One more in the fifth and one in the
