Their record lust year wasn't so Impressive but It wasn t bad for they wound up on thy best side of tho 600 mark with six wins and five defeats. With one game under their belts, the green members of tho team should come through with a much better performance than they gave last week ... so you can look for a good fight out at Zemp field tonight.

Storm Takes Toll Off New England Coast (Thursday's Associated Press) At least 133 persons lay dead today In the twisted ruins of a tropical hurricane that struck thb North Atlantic seaboard with devastating force. The loss from smashed homes, crippled communication wrecked boats and other property damage ran Into the millions. Fears Increased that the death toll would steadily mount as hundreds of persons remained unaccounted for, both at sea and on shore. Fire and llood added to the terror of thousands loft homeless by the storm, the worst to hit the northeast coast In a century. The known death toll by states was: Massachusetts, f?t. Connecticut, 22 Rhode Island. 32. New York, 2o. New Hampshire, 7. New Jersey, 1 1 Total, 133 After hours of silence concerning j tho fato of Capo Cod Inhabitants, the j coast guard reported it had received j word eight persons perished near, Buzzard's Hay and six near Woods j Hole. Authorities feared many more had j been killed lu outlying areas of the) cape. Including the islands Nantueket and Martha's Vineyard. Anxiety grew hourly over the late of f.2 persons who were aboard twoboats which put out from Bridgeport. Conn., in the path of the storm. The missing vessels were the fishing boats ' Ocean View," which sank last night with a crew of 23. two of whom were known to be dead. A ferryboat bound ; for Port Jefferson, l?ng Island, with 20 passengers and nine crew members, was unreported. Swirling up from the south, the j hurricane swept in from the sea late yesterday, smashing shipping and shore resorts with waves lashed to tidal power, -and roared on into Canada. Tho 100-mtle-an-hour guJe dealt Its most tragic blows along Long Island s fashionable shore, where at least lfc persons were dead and a hundred missing, and in flood-hit Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It left Its mark also on New Jersey, Vermont and New Hampshire. The storm flooded hundreds of miles of rich farm lands, ripped out bridges, railroads and highways, demolished buildings, sank boats, destroyed livestock. tore down telephone and light wires and left scores of communities isolated in chaos and fear.

PROGRAM IN CHARGE OF GETTYS WITH CLEMSON MAN SPEAKER The Camden Rotary Club held its weekly meeting at Hotel Camden on Thursday. The program was In charge of Nick Gettys. Ho had as his speaker, C. G. Cushman, extension dairyman of Clemson College. The subject of Mr. Cushman's talk was "Agricultural Problems." He told of South Carolina between 1800 and 1850 when the state was the richest agricultural state in the union. Of course, after the war of 1860 the southerner faced a revolutionary change in his way of living. He was forced to turn to the banks of the east for finances. Then, cotton, the best collateral of agriculture, became king, and other crops suffered. Out of this grew the terrible share-crop system. Pedple let their food crops slide and concentrated ' on cotton ? the cash money crop. Previous to the Civil War, everything used came from the land on which they lived. With the advent of the automobile, radio, and the like, the balance of trade became unfavorable to the south. The imports exceeded the exports. The soil became depleted and the people were forced to import fertilizers. Such a condition could not last, and today, this is the problem that faces the south. The south finds itself with depleted soil and depleted men to work the soil The first step to remedy this situation is to raise what is used and cut down on the imports. The second step is to find another good export. The tariff caused the loss of foreign markets Austin Sheheen was a guest. BUTCH HAS RETURNED Last winter, a nice friendly dog, of uncertain pedigree, came to Kershaw from parts unknown. After looking the town over, bis choice of a home fell on Mrs M J. Hough. At first he was not treated very cordially, but when his determination to remain seemed evident, he was inoculated against rabies, named Butch, and became a bona fide member of the family Within a few days he was deeply imbedded In the affections of all the children In the block. All went well until June, when the weather got hot. Butch quietly left home one afternoon He seemed to have vanished in thin air for all inquiries could not reveal a trace of him. Finally. it was surmised that Butch had a tragic end. After a period of mourning, his memory began to grow dim, but he was never forgot ten. Late last Thursday afternoon shouts of Joy^went up from the group of. children, who were playing in Mrs Hough's back yard In fact, the hubbub became so great that several mothers rushed out to see what was wrong. There they found Butch greeting his old friends and welcomed back Into the old gang Butch has great canine Intellect bnt, being a dog. he can't tell whether he spent the summer at the beach or in the mountains.?Kershaw Times.

Records Point Way To Better Oats Yield} "Oat enterprise records conducted In South Carolina by the Extension ^ Service In 1987 show an average yield per a ore of 41.8 bushels," says County J Agent VV. C. McCarley, pointing out that this yield was almost double the slate average of 22.0 bushels per- acre. "The 79 records covering 536.6 acres ( in 16 counties were analyzed by O. M. ( Clark, Clemson extension economist," , Mr. McCarley continues, "and a study of the results leads to these suggestions: Earlier seeding produces larger 1 yields than later seedlngs. Two bushels per acre seems to be ' the most desirable amount of seed to plant. I Seresan-treated seed give better results than Formaldehyde-treated seed. < Oats planted after cotton or corn give better yields than oats after small grain. Seeding with a drill is preferable" to seeding broadcast. The amount of organic matter in the soli is an important factor In de- ( termlulng the yield. Nitrogen apparently Is the most necessary plant food for oats. I It is more economical to have fields large enough to justify the use of a binder rather than a cradle In harvesting. manager wade host to the gridders at bowling party The members of the Camden high school football squad were entertained at the Camden bowling alleys last Saturday by Manager Wade, who says that the pigskin carriers showed a remarkable aptitude for scattering the maples. Quite a number of the footbaJl players took advantage of Mr. Wade's Invitation and remained all morning to enjoy the sport of bowling. Despite th? gruelling battle of the night before when they defeated Mt. Airy , 13 to 6, the gridders were in fine fettie and if they did have any aches and pains it did not prevent them doing some nice work on the alleys. Bowling has become quite a fad among the young people as well as the older group, the latter using the [drives during the evening hours while I the roaring falling pins echoe from 'juvenile shots during the daytime j hours. j After theatre bowling parties have become quite a fad and tlie sport continues daily to the closing hour at I midnight. Older Youth Club Friday night. September 16, the boys and girls of Malvern Hill community met and organized an "Older Youth Club." They were called to order by Miss Fewell. Kershaw county's home demonstration agent First Miss Fewell discussed the meaning of an Older Youth Club and the work that can be accomplished through cooperation. The following members were elected as officers: Lucille Robinson. president: Robert Hall, vice president; Clarence Watts, secretary; Ruby Brunson. treasurer; Lavada Parker, social chairman, and .)o Lyn Hall, program chairman. After thej election of officers Jo Lyn Hall invit-' ed the club to a social at her home.; When the meeting was over games' were played and songs were sung. The young people went home much ' inspired by this new organization.?

Forty smaller', boys, averaging eighty-five pounds [ were placed under the direction of Carl Ingram and Donald Clyburn, J players of last years regular midgets Of the remaining thirty hoys, averaging one hundred ten pounds, retained by Mr Baldwin for the regular} midgets two fairly balanced teams should be rounded out.
