Legion Boys Hold
Interesting Meeting
(By Frank H. Heath)
That "preparedness would have
" reduced the loan of American Uvea in
the world war," vm the declaration
ur Adjutant General James 0. Poster
In ah address at Legion ball here on
Monday night.
The bead of tbe South Carolina
National Guard declared himself ae
being in aooord with tbe movement
to place tbe nation on a greater defensive
footing and was enthusiastic
when be referred to the program to
increase the National Guard Quota.
a .
The visit of the adjutant general
to Camden added Impetus to the
movement to provide a new armory
for Camden. General Dealer referri
ed to an armory as a "home" and
Stressed the advantage that would ao<
, i uh to Camden If a new stroetufe is
erected here. He stated that it Would
not only provide a better drill ball,
but tbis same ball could be utilised
for community affairs such as dances,
pageants and. the like. It would be
100 by 75 feet in size. Such a building
would be thoroughly modern and
*' built to endure for many years.
The meeting at LegiOQ hall, conducted
by the Leroy Belk Post was
outstanding as being of genuine import
in many ways. Not only did It
provide a greater interest In the
movement for the new armory, but it
also served to acquaint a large number
of Camden citizens, not affiliated
with the Legion but who were invited
guests at the rally, with what is being
done in the county by the National
Guard.
Captain Brevard Boykin with Sergeant
Purvis Sanders and Edward
lx>rick and a picked squad of khaki
dad guardsmen-gave demonstrations
in elementary machine gun drills and
in the functions of the machine gun.
Sergeant Sanders group showed the
result of careful and thorough training
in the assembling and firing of
the gun while Sergeant Lorick drew
rounds of applause In his demonstra
'inn as to the fnnrtlnnH nt th*> ^"
He literally toOk the gun apart.and
then reassembled it without any hesitation
or error. ?
Another highlight of the garnering
was the appearance of Darrell Sam
tiers, formerly chief bugler for the
South Carolina National Guard, who
gave a number of calls on his instrument.
Despite the fact that Sanders
has not been bugling for a year or
more, his command of the Instrument
and the tone produced indicated a
thoroughness that drew great applaus^from
those present.
Efemont C. VonTresckow, an
American Legionnaire.who' has retired
and had been living in Canada
and abroad for a long number of
years, gave a most interesting description
of Legion affairs in Canada
and in particular of the emphasis
that is placed on the observance of
Armistice day.
During General Dozier's talk he
frequently referred to Major's Von
Tresckow and A. M. Brallsford and
also to Major William M. Cork, - the
latter now connected with the adjutant's
office of the state militia.
City officials, headed by Mayor Os
borne, representatives of the Chamber
of Commerce, county officials and
state officers were to be seen In the
big crowd gathered in Legion hall to
welcome the state militia group to
Camden.
Short addressee were made by
Mayor Osborne, County Chairman |
Redfearn, Senator Braslngton and
others. El dredge Eobinson of the
First Battalion, 17th Infantry of Fort
Bragg, was present at. the^mneting.v
The meeting was In charge & Soet
Commander Fred Ogburn, ahd an effb
Llewellyn and Dees Goodale. Mr.
Llewellyn acted aa master *of cere*
monies and exercised wit and comedy
ln W* introduction of the speakers. ~
Much emphasis was given by each
speaker ln the fact that the Kershaw
Guards constitute a real asset ttf Cam<len.
The speakers urged the ctU*
aenry t0 attend the Weekly drills of
'he guard unit to familiarise themselves
of the fine .results being obtained
In the building up of a fine
defense unit as wen as In tbe mould'ng

Would Ban Displays
in Private Rooms
The Camden Chamber of Commerce
has addressed letters to the membera
of the Kerahaw county delegation requesting
these legialatora to uae their
efforts toward the enactment of a law
that will protect the business of the
tax-paying, Job-creating merchants
from the Inroads of out-of-atate firms
who garner a considerable volume of
orders from displays #of their wares
In hotels or rooms in private homes.
The move of the Camden Chamber
is in line with the recpnt action of
the Columbia Merchants association
and has been taken up and acted favorably
upon by nearly all of the
Chambers of Commerce of the state.
The request of the Camden Chamber
In regard to the enactment of a
suitable law avoids oonflict with any
regulations of 'the Interstate, commerce
aot In that the Uoense would
cover display of goods, war^s or merchandise
and not taking of orders.
North Carolina now has such a law
which has been In operation since
June 30, 1937, and has been productive
of splendid results. The law In
question and which is suggested as
a model for South Carolina legislation
is as follows:
"Every person, firm or corporation,
not being a regular retail merchant in
the state of North Carolina, who shall
display samples, goods, wares or merchandise
in any hotel room or In any
house rented or occupied temporarily
for the pucpose of securing orders for
the retail sale of such goods, wares
or merchandise so displayed, shall apply
for In advAnce and procure a
State license from the commissioner
of revenue for the privilege of displaying
such samples, goods, wares
or merchandise, and shall pay an annual
privilege tax of two hundred fifty
dollars ($350), which license shall entitle
such person, firm or corporation
to display such samples, wares or
merchandise in any county in this
state."
