A WARNING For the past week the Camden: Chamber of Commerce has been call-' c<l upon to investigate a number of rackets, which have descended upon ihe community j The Chamber points out that every, legitimate house to house worker,' peddler or tambourine solicitor can show credentials or a license. Do' not contribute to any others. Thursday morning a group arrived and started soliciting in the name of a certain church. When the Chamber' of Commerce caught up with them,! the practice was halted and the group left town hurriedly. Camden has need of every ulcklej and dime for Its own destitute and' suffering. If in doubt any solicitor calling on i you. be It for alleged church funds,) group charity or magazine subscript tlons, call the Chamber of Commerce at telephone 67. A Herman professor is said to have demonstrated the possibility of ex-i tra? ting Ob per cent pure helium from ilie atmosphere. j A Hilf-Wty Defense of Olin J. Old' "Cottou-EU" Smith, with goveminent mall proof, finally gave Governor Olin Johuaton the knockout blow on that diapultxl claim of luvitlug to tho famous presidential breakfast of ham and eggs. It was truly a tempest in a teapot We have, and do now. place no blame on Ollu J. for wanting' the aristocratic legs under the mahogany of no man who had beat his socks off In a primary. Our only crltlciani of Ollu la that he didn't blurt out the truth about the matter. instead of quibbling, dodging and trying to carry water on both shoulders There is some solace about the silly performance Our readers remember that we have never set Governor Ollu J. on much of a pinnacle of true greatness, piety and statesmanship.---Calhoun Times. Not For 8ale The editor and owner of this newspaper Invested originally some twenty odd thousand (tollers In the business and pays annually sotpe fifteen thousand dollars for the privilege of directing the policy of this nowspapor. Still we occasionally run upon an Individual who buys three or four dollars worth of advertising apace and decides that thla Investment should give him the privilege of directing the policy of tho Star. A newspaper with a four dollar policy would not bo worth anything olther to Its owner) or to the community which It serves. A newspaper must adhere to u policy I broad enough to render service that| Is fair. Just and Impartial to all, and J that has due respect to the legal and' ethical limitations which are Imposed' upon an editor and publisher. We sell advertising space in order to enable our patrons to reach their customers through tho county's best advertising medium. Hut at no time nor under any circumstances does the purchaso of advertising space give the purchaser any right to direct the policy of this newspaper.

CHRISTMAS IN OLD'ENGLAND REVIVED IN WOMEN'S COLLEGE riirijhnm ?t> r> i a Fiig'.aud will be again revived at the Women's College of Furtnan University Friday evening when the students have their annual "Hanging of the Greens." The celebration is spontaneous and Joyous, it scarcely seems like a pageant. In Its present form, It had its origin at the Women's College and is based on a script written by Mrs.) Preston Epps. an alumna of the col-| lege. Colleges In many states have written for copies of the script, and to meet the demand Mrs. Epps* manuscript was published this fall by a well known publishing house. Banners and shields, costumes of the thirteenth century, and an authentic menu all combine to make tho evening exactly like one of long ago. The fools keep the guests amused, the masquers present an ancient play, then the wassuilers come an dthe! carolers sing. All students participate in the cele-j bration, some serving on committees, J others ailing as pages, taking part in the dances, and singing. Among those who have parts in the "Hanging of the Greens" this season are: Misses Jane Caston and Elsie Redfearn of Camden, Caroline Croxton. Carolyn Perry and Vera Leo Black in on of Kershaw.
