( Big time stuff lads. And while digging in the garden for posies to hand out let us put in a word of praise for the city police department and the state police detail for the efficient manner in which fke traffic was handled last Friday. * And a whole wagon load of orchids to Mrs. Watts, the members of her constitutional day committee, the superintendents and teachers of all the schools of Kershaw county and last but not least the school children, for the record-breaking program featuring Constitutional day. * * * * There wasn't a hitch in the proceedings and everything went off with the precision of a Swiss watch movement. And when you try to tell me that women can not put over a prograin as well as the men, well?forget it. If ever a woman demonstrated 100 per cent efficiency in the promotion and carrying out of a big underUklag' -that woman la Mrs. Watta^? t And we echo with Mrs. Watts that she was given one hundred per cent 1 support by a grand group of workers. w t That parade and everything that went with* the affair was fine and some of the old folks tell us it was i real red-letter event In Camden history. ? - ??

Well folks, there wasn't any wedding at the county fair. The bride and groom evidently thought that with Sumter high school band and Hon.

What a Job they did in halting that fire at the Stogner home last Saturday. I wouldn't have given a stale bun for the place when I arrived, about the time the fire laddies reached the scene. But they went righL to work . and did the Job up so efficiently f ! wanted to give them three cheers, right there. - I Fine work Chief Bill Nettles, Sr., and your fine crew of lire fighters. |.

The full grown standing timber on t approximately four hundred fifty ! teres will be harvested In the near future An order for fifty thousand Pine seedlings has been placed with toe State Forestry Nursery near Camden for planting of portions of the ?r?r?rr?rrr?r. < i , place not already adequately wooded with young pine trees. These seedlings are to be long leaf pine, loblolly pine and slash jplne. Mr. Savage says that this planting together with that projected for next year will be equivalent to replacing each tree removed through iumbering with about ten young trees. The most up-to-date forestry and land use methods will be applied in the operation of the plantation. The most fertile soil will be kept in use for agricultural purposes- and the various species of pine will be planted on the areas most suited to them. The sawmills will be followed by a crew of workers who will clear up the larger branches and tops for sale for pulpwood. Heretofore these portions of the trees have been left on the land and have constituted & serious fire hazard and unsightly areas as well as a considerable economic waste. The recommendations of the State Forest Service as to thinning the thicker growths of young pine* will be followed and by so doing the defective trees and inferior specie* will be removed and marketed - a* pulpwood. . . r 1 ; j. District Forester R. W. Rieger hasj -gone over the property and plans ofj Mr. Savage and stales that if they ar# iput into effect this plantation ahould serve as a most valuable and instructive demonstration of timber land management and land utilization for the land owners of Kershaw county.

A crowd of 1,200 fans braved the wiutry blunts to watch a game that waa replete with thrills. The visitor! outweighed Camden on average qC twelve pounds to a man aud In the early stages of the game, this superiority in weight euabled the cadets to offer u stubborn defense and also earn several llrst downs at the expense of the Bulldogs. Hugh Cox, sophomore end, was the laddie who applied tho tinder to the scoring powder in tho second aud fourth quarters. The tow-headed tiash raced ten yards on a reverse through right tackle to score standing up In the second quarter when the time | clock gave Just about a minute to | play. The extra point was added when West 11 red a long pass to Doug Lynch in the end zouo. The second touchdown came in the middle of tho last quarter and again It was Cox on an end around play who raced twenty-two yards to cross the coveted stripe. On the play for conversion West shot a pass to Cox and tho scoring record was perfect. Porter threatened only lu iho early part of the second quarter when a Camden punt waB blocked and recovered on tho Camden 20 yard line. The visitors utilized their weight to put over several driving plays that pushed the oval to the Camden live yard line. At this Juncture tho visitors were penalized fifteen yards for holding. Camden came to and put up a stubborn defense, taking the ball from Porter after a pass on fourth down was knocked down. Camden began a march down the field that took them to the ten yard stripe* when Cox finished the Job with his gallop through tackle. In the fourth quarter Camden began another march that took them to the Porter two yard line when the cadets braced and took the ball. Mcllveen punted to his own 33 yard stripe. Camden put over two line plays that carried the ball to the Porter 22 when Cox heard the dinner bell and carted home the bacon in a beautiful end around dash. West and Doug Lynch pulled Bome splendid ground gaining drives and Gox-waa-^-shlnlng-Hghtr^wh^^1?ivoir the task of carting the oval. Rowell and Brown also contributed to tho Camden punch. In fact. It would be | difficult to turn the spotlight on nay particular Camden player as the team play was outstanding and Individual efforts were concentrated in making for mass efficiency. William O. Berries, pleaded guilty to second degree murder at Fonda, N. Y? for the axe-slaying of one of his two aged aunts, whose property was bequeathed to him. Life imprisonment, said the Judge. Firemen Saved Stogner Home Prompt and efficient work on the part of the Camden Are department saved the beautiful colonial home of C. O.

Damage amounting thousands of dollars was occasioned -by Are and water. Tons of water th/own into the burning attic cascaded dowi) stairways and through tho plastered callings.

Neighbors and rriends who arrived Are department, removed a greater part of the furniture from the first floor, and later brought out the water soaked furnishings from the second floor. Mrs. Stogner had started a fire in a fireplace of a second floor bedroom Friday morning and it was a defective flue in this fireplace chimney that caused the blaze to start. A passer by saw the smoke homing through the sblnglee on the root and gave the alarm to the family who In turn telephoned fire headquarters. | When the department reached the scene it looked as if the entire dwelling was doomed an dense clouds of smoke, punctured by darting Angers of fire, came from tho roof over the rear of tho home. Chief Fire Marshal W. F, Nettles was on tho scone and took porsonal charge of the battle against tho flames. Mr. Stogner ochoed the opinion of hundreds of spectators when ho stated later that he was grateful for the efficiency and skill displayed by t-he Camden Are fighters.
