Wltthnwftfry, P H Volga and Henry Savage, Sr. .. Henry George Cajrrlson, Sr., has through his life been prominently identified with the ^commercial and professional life of Camden. :: He was born In 1861 of Scotch-Irfnh parents. His father, George Carrison, a bridge contractor, settled 'in Columbia In 1848. A few years later he eattie to his death by drowning when engaged in constructing a bridge for the Columbia and Greenville railroad over the Broad river near Alston. The'mother of Mr. Carrison had pass's* away several months prior to the death of his father and thus it was at the tender age of nine years Henry George Carrlsbn became an orphan. ah early age Mr! Carrison Indicated a fixedness of purpose and character that marked' his fine personality throughout his life. Possessed of an unusually strong, determination, a dear perception between right and wrong, Henry George Carrison fought his way up in the world and surmounted obstacles that would have proven barriers to the career of men of less will power and fortitude. Without means or external help Mr. GArrison carved his career in life and has left a heritage of memory that hfs descendants wffl always revere. No commentary other than his life record ip- -necessary to point how\jninently well Mr. Carrison succeeded lp his undertakings. In 1888 he organised the oldest bank in Camden? it being known as the Bank of Camden. Since that time he has served iaiiaiuiiy as its president, retiring in March, 1933. He is also the titular head of the Commercial Bank of Camdefc Mr. Carrison has always contributed In a substantial manner to the well-being and financial development of Camden and community. He had extensive -agricultural interest# and owned a number of plantations, on which is raised chiefly cotton. Early in his career Carrison acquired a deep interest in civic and social affairs and was honored by the .electorate of Camden by being namgd three times as mayor of the, city. His first incumbency was brought about by the electorate after a special act of the South Carolina state legislature ha* made Camden a city/. , Some of the achievements - notable during hie administration www the Incorporation of the village of TBUk* waodr' accomplished by extending the Seaboard road; th4 starting of- theytoflp Praise Hospitality Shown Our Team y, ' .it * John VlUeptgue, Camden's yuict football coach, who lots tho other# do. the talking ubout hi# team, "opeuod up" on Sumter and the Sumter high school team, upon hi# return from Friday night's victory. svHe did uot talk about the victory or hljs team'# performance at Sumter, but of the hospitality of the cityof 8umter, and the clean sportsmanship of tho high school team that, represents that^ity. He said that the Sumter team was a hard-flghtlng, clean team and were a bunch of Qne sports, deserving the name "Gamecock." He said that the citizens of Sumter were courteous In ttery way, and made their visit moat pleasant. He said that a sample of the hospitality was an Invitation from one of the leading restaurant# of Sumter, which was received between halve#, for aif the team and the coach and managers to come there after the tf*me as*' guest# of the restaurant. Other nice things were done for them. Mr. Vlllepigue said he would always look forward to a visit to Sumter with pleasure. /The older citizens of Camden could not help reminisce over his enthusiasm compared with the visits of the Camden basebull team to Sumter in 1906 when Camden and Sumter wore in the State League and Camden won. the pennant. The Sumter team and supporters can well remember their visltiKo Camden then too. Neither team or the supporters in those days thought anything of ^ospltality. It is Such big changes that - ha# made football in high schools so popular. Between three and four thousand persons saw the game in Sumter Friday night. When the present team were little tots, between three and four hundred came out to cheer their team. ? 4 First Baptist Church Service# U !

Maine to Florida main highway. _ Chief among the resolutions adopted was one that will be of great interest to all motorists using the No. t highway south of Camden, where the present old wooden bridge over the Wateree river la inadequate and unsafe for trafrlc. The attention of the No. 1 Highway Association to the bridge problems waa called by an appeal from the Camden chamber of commerce, after a request to the state highway commission proved unavailing. The resolution aa adopted ^bv the No. 1 Highway Association Is as follows: "Whereas, the Chamber of Commerce of Camden, South Carolina has called our attention to the need for a modern bridge over tho tyetereo river,, to replace the old, antiquated and narrow wooden bridge now thero, > and "Whereas, the United States No. 1 Highway Association, Incorporated, In Its four point .program, Is working for better roads a;ul all safety measures to conserve life, and "Whereas, this old woodqu bridge over the Wateree River in South Carolina is forced to carry more and heavier traffic on United States No. 1 highway than it can safely handle. "Be it resolved, that the-* United States No. 1 Highway Association, Incorporated, at its regular meeting of Its Board of Directors, held at the Lafayette Hotel,. Washington, D. C., on Wednesday, ^July 7t 19>7. unanimously expresses its disapproval of the cocttnueuo.ee of this unsafe old, parrow, wooden bridge carrying U. S. No. 1 highwdy over the Wateree river, and recommends that immediate action be secured toward having built a new modern bridge, adequate Tor the evqr-lncreaslng traffic, and that copies of this resolution be sent to the Chief of the Bureau of PubUc Roads of the Department of Agrlcul* ture and all state officials In South Carolina, and further, that every effort be made to expedlate. the building of a new modern and adequate bridge at the earliest possible time." ^ _ ? ? _r - Edward I* Guy .

The pons, admittedly the finest and most up to date in the state, are about completed aud will be utilised for the first time in October if plans of county agent W. C. McCariey carry through. If the farmers , in Kershaw county engaged in the bag raising business will ship through the medium of the oounty group here, it "will mean s cash return tt> the county farmers of xrrxit eiSv.Stnr between now and the last of December. ThlB estimate Is based on an actual survey. The last shipment of hogs from Camden took place September IB, with top hogs bringing 18.10 and netting the farmers hero 12.10. One of j the shippers. It. B. Elliott, of Cassatt, | brought 13 boars and four sows and realized >411.03 at the pen here. J It 1? pointed out that what tho hog raisers of the county have to be guarded against Is the practice of tho Bo-called truck buyers who visit the farmers and offer to buy hogs by weight. In nearly every Instance the weight 1b by guess of the purchaser, and the weight Is always below the uctual weight of the hog. The new loading and shipping unit in Camden offers an ideal-sequence In the negotiations * incident to the sale of the hogs. The hogs are unloaded from the truck through a gate and go into a grading pott Where they tire graded. Then they go Into a weighing pen and are carefully weigh- t ed after which they are protected froVh sun or rain by a root covering the entire unit. These peps are large enough to; handle enough hogs tor three carload shipments dally. Farmers may bring their hogs .to the pens at lliy time and can be atcured they will be cared for and given protection fyom the weather. Mr. MaCarley id urging all o{ the farmers who have hogs to -put them on full feed at once in order that they may get them to the market while the present strong prices prevail. He also suggests that Camden in jbljMW j - shipping project urge their friends and acquaintances who are engaged in the hog raising type of , farming net to sell to the truckers but to fatten their ho|& and bring them to the- Camden peas.' * -"Theiw wtn he Another# hlpment of*' hogs on Ootober 8, providing Mr. McCariey can, get enough to; a carload.
