Corps, I^>?l>aii, Saxony, Oct. 2.?Flvoj1 columns of green-grey German troops today marched acroi*s a 43-mlle strip of Czechoslovakia's northern front- j ler, their hob-nailed boots trampliiK on, a carpet of flowers tossed by smiling Sudeten girls }' Church bells chimed Joyously and the streets of villages were ablaze wlt^ Nazi swastikas as the Fourth Army corps under Col.-Gen Fedor Von 1 Bock marched "In to occupy one No. 2 1 of the Hudetenlands surrendered by Czecho-Blovakla to Fuehrer Adolf lilt ler. With military precision and wild acclaim along the routes of the "bloodless Invasion," the whittling away of Czecho-Blovakla's borders was under wluy simultaneously at three oorners of the post-war republic and on a fourth side another German armyi I waited for a command to move for j ward Monday. As Von Bock's trim forces moved into Zone No. 2. another force of near &0.000 men completed Its occupation of the No 1 zone, 1 f?0 miles to the south oil the southern boundary of Czechoslovakia. Occupation of the No. 1 zone started shortly after noon Saturday. Beyond the eastern tip of Germany a Polish army began its occupation of Teschen Silesia, surrendered to Poland by the Czechs under threat of Invasion. At precisely 1: .'10 p.m. (7:30 a.m., KDTl Von Bock gave the order to advance to tits five columns which had waited throughout the night and morning within a stone's throw of what was to become German soil i under the four-power Munich ac' cord. The five columns were spread along the 43-mile strip of mountain studded frontier and as the striped customs gates were thrown open the steel i hclmctcd German troops. In parade) ' dress, pushed through cheering crowds j i of Sudeten Germans and on through, flag-draped streets. Church bells pealed and organized > groups of girls showered pie soldiers i with flowers i The troops entered through the towns of Relhenau In the Friedlnnd i district on the east ami the Warns-, ' dorf sector on the west, taking over the Bodenbach and Jofsftal salients 1 that had stuck like bent thumbs into the German relch. The cheering of the Sudeten crowds i on holiday was repeated In Welgs' dorf. Bohland, Kbersbach and Seif hennors. In the southern districts, which are being absorbed by the German provI inro of Ostmark-Austria until late March?a German corps under Col.! Gen. Eric Von Leebs crossed the . Moldan river and swung northward deeper Into Sudeten territory. '1 he right wing advanced from Oberhaid ' to Kosenburg to lead the advance. Behind the marching soldiers who were greeted with roaring "hells!" and shouts of "our liberators!" came low-flying planes of the German airj force to take over control of civilian [ and military airports In the occupi?Hlj zones. j The army of occupation in the No j 1 zone on the south moved forward! at 1 p m. to take possession of the remainder of about 020 square miles j of Southern Bohemia. The five columns under Von l/oebs expected to complete the occupation before dawn Nowhere was there any sign of Czech resistance; not oven a sniping rifb' shot The surrendered territory appeared to have been lelt intact b> the re-, treat inn Cze, h forces, including own) t < fic-i'ions a?v1 communications, I ! ! lines. i MEETS WITH ACCIDENT La.-: K.nlay night J;:n Outlaw.) j w L11, on his wa> hone , no t wi'h at ! sere us .to, b|.'tit If- w.i s ,lri\ inu al ,.nr ) :' rnub - hitched t > a w.o-'->n H? . h:?,| lights and w .i - rati into ft o:ii .

Four Power Accord Ends War Threat Munich, Oeriuauy, Sept. 30.?Heads i?f WoBtHin Europe's four major pow ors early today signed an agreement thoy believed would prevent a Kurppean war by Mealing the fate of ('tech Dblovakla. Th# agreement reached by the statesmen of Britain, France, Germany and Italy, provided for gradual Qccu pation of parte of Czechoslovakia's Sudeten ureas starting Saturday?the deudllne Adolf Hitler set for accept ance In his ultimatum. The No. I statesman of the four powers?Prime Minlater Chamberlain, of Britain, Premier Daladler, of France; Chancellor Hitler, of Germany; and Premier Mussolini?signed the accord after hours of debating the war threat for which most of Europe wuh preparing. Spokesmen said Czechoslovakia had not accepted the plan. Vojlech Mast ny, Czechoslovakia Minister to Berlin, who came here at the suggestion of the British, was closeted with Daladler and Chamberlain earlier In the day. It was stated, however, Mastny hail no power to accept for his govern ment. Daladler. returning to his hotel said he and Chamberlain spent their time explaining- to?Mastny why tluiy felt ll necessary to accept the agreement. An unimpeachable source said, however, that the action of Britain and France in making themselves "responsible for the steps necessary" to fulfill the agreement meant just this: If the Czechoslovakia refuse to accept. France cannot come to their aid in case of an attack and Britain, which Is pledged only to support France, cannot be drawn in. Additional provisions of the agreement Include: Evacuation of the Sudotetiland to( be completed by October 10, without damage to existing property there. An international commission com prising representatives of the four powers, together with Czechoslovakia, to lay down details of the evacuation Plebiscites to be held in other areas of Czechoslovakia having German pop ulation. The right of option granted for residents to move into or out of the ureas to be ceded to Germany. The four powers decided on another conference within three months to settle the question of Hungarian and Polish minorities in Czechoslovakia, If agreement Is not reached between these parties in the meantime jPour zones of preponderantly German population were marked for quick occupation by German troops by October 10 and any remaining territory with preponderantly German population will be determined by the International Commission for Occupation also by that date. The International Commission will determine areas in which plebiscites are to be held, and these areas, in the meantime, are to be occupied by international bodies The plebiscites will be patterned after that in the Saar region, which was shifted from international control back to Germany on January 19, 193.", The commission will fix the date for the plebiscites not later than the end of November. The agreement provides for the release bv the Czechoslovakia government within four weeks of all Sudeten Germans from military and police forces. Sudeten political prisoners also are to be liberated within that period. Britain and France agreed to join in an international guarantee ot iu t'zechosloN akia boundaries as prove! , (| f,)r in th" original AngloTrem h partition plan.

Britain's Navy Head Resigns Cabinet London, Oct. L?Qreat Britain's out-J ttlH>koii first lord of the admiralty resigned suddenly today In "distrust" of Prime Minister Neville ChamberIain's now foreign policy. Ills action was exported to give the, lead to a growing number of rebellious government supporters who share his "distrust." ^ The navy head, Conservative Alfred Duff Cooper, told the prime minister In hie letter pf resignation: "1 profoundly distrust the foreign policy which the present government Is pursuing and seems likely to pursue in the future." The bluntly-worded resignation of the 48-year-old Duff Cooper, an Oxford graduate and decorated World war veteran, came Just one day after t'hamberlaln returned as a popular hero from Munich, bearing an Anglo(lerman anti war pact and a fourpower agreement sacrificing Czechoslovakia end what he called "peace with honor." Mobilization of Britain's mighty fleet at the crucial moment by Duff Cooper was reliably stated to have had more effect on the war-intent niter than Chamberlain's peace flights STORM DAMAQE8 OLD LANDMARKS tN CHARLESTON Charleston, September 29.?A number of old landmarks In this city which advertises itself as America's I most historic were damaged by the tornado which hit here early today. ! Among the places damaged was the Dock Street theatre, one of the first play houses In America. A large chimney was blown over on the roof, and the skylight over the stage was smashed. | The theatre, built in 1736, was j burned and rebuilt and finally went 'out of existence about 1780. On Its site the old Planters Hotel was built j j and the hotel and theatre were restored last year by the WPA. | The rebuilt theatre had its formal j opening about a year ago and is now , used by a little theatre group. The patio of the theatre was littered with debris and two large beams or rafters, apparently from some nearby building, were blown through a window of one of the second floor apartment In the theatre *butldlng. The beams stuck out about fifteen feet and extended far into the interior of the room. Boughs and limbs of trees were! strewn over St. Phillip's church-( yard and a f?^w tombstones were blown over. The tomb of John C. Calhoun, South Carolina pre-Clvll War statesman, was unscathed, although a large limb was torn from a tree standing over It. The Trumbull portrait of Washington in the City Hall was unharmed although wreckage fell near It. In St. Michael's church, a group1 of communicants finished an early I communion jtist before the storm struck. ^ Heavy waterfront damage was I reported to piers, docks and warehouses and four or five buildings owned by the Port L'tillties Commission also were reported to have suffered severely. j Kvery tree in the City Hall Park was either ripped up or stripped of foliage and limbs by the wind. The old City Market, built before the Civil War, was almost completely wrecked at the rear, which faces on State street Other sections of it had the roof taken away. Several persons were killed at the market. Slates were ripped from the roof of the Miles Brewton. or Pringle House, famed colonial show place on lower King street. The roof, turrets and cornice of tlie First (Scotch) Presbyterian Chun h w?Te badly damaged and the interior suffered from rain. The interior of St. Michael's Church was badly damaged by rain. Part of tli** roof of the old Timrod Inn on Merlins: Street a half bleck north of St Michael's collapsed and fell through the top floor. Parapets of the eight-story Peoples Building on Broad Street were badly ripped and there was a large amount of glass damaged. The building had to be closed. None of the city's colleges and schools. The Citadel, College of Charleston and Ashley Hall were touched. As far as could be learned, no public schools were damaged. The schools opened but the pupils were dismissed early. FINAL DISCHARGE Notice is hereby given that one month from this date, on Thursday, October 27. 1938. William L. Goodale and Jean V. Harris will make to the Probate Court of Kershaw County their final return as Kxecutors of the estate of Jean R. Harris, deceased, and on the same date they will applyto the said Court for a final dk?eharge aa said Ex ecu tors* of said estate. N. C. ARNKTT Judge of Probate for Kershaw County Camden, 8. C., Sept. 27, 1938 50 YARD LINE (By JERRY) k >mk aMKaM&*K ^mc^momc >3 It wasn't a thing like we had expected . . . no, air, everyone was lookin* for the ktmeceol? from SuiuU*r. to give the Hullodga some keet^^orapetition. However, the Gold aiui Black demonstrated to some 2.000 football fans thai they have a team ifcftt can really go places . . . overland ... . the heavy dew made passing dangerous arid Cox, West and the Lynch brothers uncorked an offensive threat that was something good to see. 9 V ? Speaking of the fine way the Villepigue system of the cut-back backflekl shift worked agalust the Gamecocks reminds us that one, Mr. Deling Booth, of the Columbia Record also had cause to raise his eyebrows at the smoothness of the Bulldog machine . . but what did the erstwhile Mr. Booth have to say . . . well, briefly, lie saVs, j "The old outmoded Percy Haughton cut-back shift, which Coach Vlllepigue dug out of the mothballs last year, : etc." Perhaps we don't know as much about football as this scribe, but if that cut-back is anything but the Ville| pigue system, signed, sealed and delivered. then this column had better end in its infancy . . . and perhups several hundred college coaches throughout the country had better go smell a few mothballs . . . sour grapes, Mr. Booth! j * * Another thing, while this fellow used up half of his quarter column story telling about the merits of Sweatte and Bauman . . . who did some really swell work for Sumter, j to be sure . . . how about a couple of! posies for the Camden lads. The Bulldog forward wall did a swell job of breaking up Sumter's conception of the Notre Dame shift . . . several plays were stopped behind the lineof scrimmage, which is a mighty good place to stop a fleet footed lad like Bauman. West put on a splendid exhibition of field generalship, mixing them up beautifully until the Sumter gang was in a tail-spin trying to stem the tide . . . which. I might add. is pretty good for an old out moded system ... or are we doing a bit of sporting, as Tommy Akins might put it? And to Camden's flerv little left end,' Hugh Cox, congratulations on a grand' bit of broken field running when you made that ninety-six yard touchdown gallop . . . among other substantial gains We'll bet that Coach Ville-' pigue and the "brain trusters" were plenty pleased with the way Red Lynch reeled off the yardage last Friday . ... "Five-yard" Lynch should be a mighty valuable man* when" the Bulldogs run into Charleston's Bantams tonight ... And a few words about this Charleston cj-ew . . they look like a plenty tough outfit again this year. In fact Conch Ronbrook is boa-fine bis finestsquad in several years They haven't a particularly heavy team . goingI Bin pounds in the line, with two tackles. Wannamaker and Georgeo, accounting for 10a and ' 197 pounds respectively, and a backfield that averages a little better than 149 . . . that's ?^?m n<x bone-crushing backfleld, to be sure, but they say that this lad Flash Milli gan, who tips the scales at 137 and plays halfback for tho Bantams, 1? u plenty speedy customer. Charleston's starting lineup will probably see Vlck and Heidt at ends; Wannamaker and Georgeo at tackles; Bruggemann and Hutto at guards; and Vann at center. The baokfleld will be composed of Milllgan, Wise, Stevens and Henry. Which is just about enough about Charleston, until we get a peek at them in action out at Zemp field tonight . . . and as long us this picking a winner has become a habit, we're going to string along with the Bulldogs again ... if they put on their usual brand of ball, two touchdowns should be the victory margin. But they'll have to fight and fight hard for nil twelve of those points if advance notices on the Seashore crew are correct. ? Minnesota must have had their feelings hurt, by Nebraska last year when they dropped the opener to the Husker eleven, for Bernie Bierman's Gophers certainly beat a rough tattoo when they trounced thcTWesterners last Saturday . . . Harvard must be green with envy about Brown . . . Fordham anVl Pitt did as expected, along with a couple of powerhouse Southern Conference elevens, Duke and North Carolina . . . John Wickman, a little sixfoot-four fellow from Fludlay, Ohio, had to miss the first couple weeks of freshman practice at Tulsa university . . . seems he had to wait till they built a couple of shoes to go around his size 14 1-2 tootsies. So, enough scribble for this week and lets all get out to Zemp field tonight to see the Bulldogs and Charleston Bantams put op a battle that promises to be one of the best of the season. Win, lose or draw, you're going to see a lot of fancy football out on the local bailiwick tonight!
