Legion and Auxiliary
Enjoyed Banquet
"And It's always fair weather
When good follows get together.
And let it be aid with due emphahIh
that the same is true when good
Tallows and their gals get together.
Which fact waa evldonced to the
'Hteenth degree ut the Court Inn on
Monday evening wlt,h the,Legion lads
and lassies of the Auxiliary gathered
around the festive table ami made
merry.
With Past Commander Stanley
Llewellyn doing the honors an toastmaster,
at which art he Is a past
master, through a program of fine addresses
and some lively muss singing,
It was an evening that will linger with
fondest memory In the hearts of all
present.
The Auxiliary ladles had displayed
artistic ability in the arrangement
and decorating of the tables. And
the management of the hotel under
the direction of the genlul host, Jack
Cantor, had prepared a steak dinner
that was given genuine approval from
sulad course to Ice cream.
That the Legion laddies and their
ladies possess musical ability was
given a most emphatic demonstration
of fact when they raised their voices
to make the welkin resound with the
stirring strains of "Smiles." "It's A
Long Long Trail" and last but not
least, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart."
In the last vocal number, the male
group actually went places?some of
the boys climbing the music staff to
reach high Jinks In tenor barbershopping.
In particular Jack Whltaker.
I)ess Goodale, Sam Karesh and Larry
Wallnau, gavo a vocalizing harmonizing
demonstration that would have I
brought a blush to the face of BIng
Crosby, while Stan Llewellyn, Major
A. M. Brailsford, L. W. Mc.Fadden
and John deLoach made Rudy Vallee
look like a poor relation In the song
world.
Earl Bethea, of Dillon, Department
Commander and Mrs. Hughey Tindalf,
Camden's own daughter of the A. E.
F. boys and president of the State
legion Auxiliary, gave Inspiring talks
to the gathering. Department Adjutant
Falrey also responded with a
brief address In which he urged the
loyal post to raise Its membership to.
the required quotu. It was with re-j
grot that toastmaster Llewellyn an-j
uounced that George D. Levy, of Sum-j
tor National Executive committee
member and District Commander An ]
drea Westergarde, of Rock Hill, were j
unable to be present
Much credit for the success of thv
camp tire gathering was due to the
general committee consisting of Jack
Whltaker, Jr . Sain Karesh, Major A.
M. Brailsford. Marvin Rensonovcr, A.
Stanley Llewellyn. Fred Ogburn and
Herman Baruch Mrs Lois Gand>
presided at the piano in the pep singing.

Young Men Conquer
Wildcat Barehanded
George 0rover and Charles Lacewell
returned to town yesterday af-!
ternoon-frotn a fishing trip In Green
Hwamp and brought with them a
wildcat which they had conquered
with their buro lunula, after It had
attacked Lacewell, whq carried on hla
back muny marks of the creature'a
ferocity.
In the light between the wildcat
and the two young men, Lacewell
wuh the victim and Grove the hero of
the occasion, for ho came off with few j
acratchea and the cat came out aocond
beat. i^acewoll aald they were
Bitting on the bank of the stream
talking, their linen In the water, waiting
on the tlah to bite, when suddenly
without any warning, the cat sprang
on hla buck almost toppling him over,
It let out a squall as It Hprang, he
said. He was unable to reach the animal,
which sank Its fangs In hla
nock, shoulder uud side, and scratched
his back and sides In many places
before Grover grabbed it by tho neck,
fell pront on It, and strangled it to
death with his bare hands. By falling
on It the cat was unable to move
and get Its claws In place where It
could use them, Grover said.
Lacewell, his first thought was to
get to a doctor as soon as possible j
and the two made post haste out of
the swamp to have their wounds
dressed. They brought the cat with
them uud It attracted much attention,
especially as l?acewell was still wearing
the shirt, which was torn to ribbons
In the back. The cat was a female
and was very thin. It's frarnt^
was unusually large. It's weight was
said to be twenty-seven pounds, and
if the frame had been filled out it
would apparently have weighed about
fifty pounds. Indications were that
it had young kittens ?Sumter Herald
MR. BROWN LOSES FINE HORSE
?
---Dan. the fine old horse of Mr. B. T.
Brown, haH gone to Join his comrades
of yesterdays. If his age was correctly
given he was about 31 years
old. Although he looked many years
younger. Only a few times was it ever
known that he even felt bad. On
Sunday he appeared as usual and in a
few hours he was found dead.
Mr Brown brought Dan to his little
farm twenty-three years ago, the
j first and only horse he ever owned.
From the beginning he proved an exIceptlon
and seemingly he fell into a
place all his own He was not made
for a whip, harshness he would not
i lake, his was a gentle mood always
and in his working days it seemed ho
[delighted to pull his burden by the
reins.
Kvtdontly Dan loved his home. He
loved his stable, for him to come out
the door must always be open wide
and after his run and play he would
always show his horse sense by gong
inside so very, very careful His
master's voice he would heed at a
moment, tho he may not see him.
Dan had learned many lessons, perhaps
in appreciation, as age has a
priic for kindness. He would follow
you round for a chew of tobacco and
wash your hand in gratitude. l*'t an
car of corn drop, tell him to get it,
and he would fumble in the twilight j
until he found it and placed it by the
uLhcrs in his trough before he com-j
menced his meal lie liked his apples,
and eggs Give him a bit. ask if it!
was good or did he want more and it j
was three nods, always looking into j
your face He would wait petiently
for his eggs and nestle his nose close
by the Inn with a twinkle In his eyes
meaningly-?one would understand as
"thoy too. are mine." and truly they
were left for him.
Those v. ho tared for him he would
always greet with a gentle whicker,
it made no difference when or from
what side you came
True, Dan was a worthy pet, a loyal
old friend. Who knows but what his
prayer might have been
lxml of humans, earth and heaven
too Make my keepers faithful to their
fellow man as 1 am Grant thnt they
may he devoted to their loved ones as
1 am to mine. May they be open of
(ftco and undoceptlve as I am. May
they be true to trust reposed In them
as I am to theirs."
Although Dan was only a horse, he
was full of loyalty and gratitude And
what girl, what boy. what woman and
what man cannot find a dumb animal's
life a lesson If we but understand?

Fight Mosquito For
Health And Comfort
Clemson, April 30?"As transmitters
of malaria mosquitoes present
one of the most serious problems confronting
South Carolinians," says W.
C. Nettles, extension entomologist.
"Much of the indolence and poverty
of some rural areas has been attributed
to the malarial condition of the
people." the specialist states.
As mosquitoes are Just now beginning
to breed. Mr. Nettles suggests
that control methods be started immediately.
Screening houses with wire of at
least sixteen meshes to the inch Is a
valuable portection
Elimination of breeding places is
most essential in the eradication of
the mosquito. Drainage of marshy
areas is frequently of immense value,
but small breeding places should not
be. overlooked Tin cans, old automobile
tires, hollow stumps, barrels, and
other receptacles are all suitable mps-.,,
quito breeding places and shduld be
drained.
Drainage of breeding grounds is not
always possible, and the tomporary
measure of treating such places with
medium oil or kerosene may be employed
at intervals of every two
weeks during the summer.
Incidentally- Mr. Nettles calls attention
to a good repellent, oil of citroneila,
used quite often by people ;
in the coastal section. A few drops
applied to the face, hands, and pillow
will repel mosquitoes so that a restful
night's aleep may be had.

GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL PLAGES
IS TAX ON EVERY MOTORIST
The recommendation of Governor
Olln D. Johnston to divert $1,500,000
of the gusollne tax receipts to old age
relief should be opposed by every motorittt
in the state, Wyche Ulckert,
executive secretary of the South Carolina
Automobile Dealers Association,
said today.
"The proposal will vost the state's
motorists an average of more than
$5 each, and once the burden is saddled
on their backs, it will probably
be continued indefinitely," said Mr.
Dickert. "There Is absolutely no
j rhyme or reason why a man owning
an automobile should be forced to pay
I a special assessment of $5 or more
annually for purposes whose cost
should be defrayed by general taxes.
I The tnotorlsts are not the cause of
needy old persons, but they are willing
to pay their share if other taxpayers
will do likewise.
"As a matter of fact, in South Carolina
there are only 60,000 persons that
are 65 years or older. Many of those
persons are supported by sons and
daughters and are not In need. Some
[have Independent means. There are
probably not more than twenty or thirI
ty thousand needy aged persons In
j the state. On the other hand, it Is
estimated that there are In the state
50,000 motorists who have net cash incomes
of less than $40 a month. To
force those motorists to pay $5 annually
in gasoline taxes so that others
in the same circumstances or better
can have an additional $30 a month
is obviously unfair and unjust.
"Recent studies indicate that more
than half the motorists of this state
trare"incomes of less than $25 a week.
They have no great ability to pay
heavy and discriminatory taxes. They
pay a 6 cents state tax on a gallon
of gasoline, plus a 1 cent federal tax,
a total of 7 cents, an amount equivalent
to approximately 50 per cent of
the retail price. That money Is paid
to build roads, to help farmers get
their crops to market and to make
the roads safer to all who use them.
That money is used to promote the
general welfare and add to the sum of
human happiness in a broad way. The)
building of roads is the most 'humanitarian'
purpose to which the gasoline
taxes can bo put."
