EARLY OIAQN0818 CAMPAIGN 800N TO BE UNDER WAY HERE The early diagnosis campaign for the discovery of early eases of tuberculosis that will be under way In Camden and I the county at large throughout the ' month -of Aprilis- expeoted to accomplish , something definite toward w??i*?ng the [saying "Bight Out of Ten Are Late" less true. At the pMSOlt time, taking the nation as a whols sight out of every ten people who are admitted to tuberculosis hospitals for treatment have the disease in a well-advanced stage. Gradually people are realising that delay la dangerous because "Tubrculoels knows no unemployment. It finds the best opportunities In the bad seasons, for sowing disease end The. fatalities of next year and those thereafter are being plotted today by illness, poverty and worry." The Illness may corns on so gradually that the patient-Is unaware of any dipcomfort except weariness, slight cough, indigestion, loss of weight. Knowing the importance of being on the alert the Kershaw County Tuberculosis Association has mapped out an extensive program. The annual meeting of the association will be held la the agricultural building or April 0 p. m.

Sarting under the unexepected 9 to I lacing handed them by Catfish Smith's team, the Chiefs will be out to npset the collegians by as wide a count as possible. Big Johnny Qee may again face the South Carolina swatters when the game is called. Gee worked for ? five inn hags in the dipt game- and stood the college clubbers on their ears with his speed and tOttrves. It was after Corbett had Jerked Gee and several others of the first string group that the tide turned. South Carolina ripped into the offerlogs of Angelo and Howell for enough hits to roll up nine markers. Manager Porter has been putting hfe- professional boys through some stiff practice all week and believes they wlfl exhibit more speed and alertness in Friday's fraoas. - The game will no doubt attract a big turnout of fans.

Chamber Finds Unique Law One of the great obstacles the Chamber of Commerce has encountered in the campaign to curb the activities of transient vendors In the city haB beeii the conflict in the matter^of interstate regulations with city ordinances. The Chamber haB been in correspondence with a number of communnitles where ordinances have been established with the claim that they are Iron rlftrt T* romiHn** trxf >?? city of Reno, Nevada, to establish a law that according to reports was sustained In a number of court battles with Interstate merchandising groups Hearing of this measure the Chamber of Commerce communicated with J. B. Reese, city clerk of Reno, and from Mm obtained copies of the bills which have effectually checked the operation of transient vendors to the extent that the city realises a license fee from every' firm 6r Individual, whether it be local or interstate. The Reno ordinance simply designates a solicitor, peddler, hawker, itinerant merchant or transient vendor of merchandise as a nuisance If he falls to procure a city license and goes upon the grounds of any private residence In the <}ity for the purpose of seHeltlng ordorsr The ordinance does not apply to salesmen gelling goods to retail or wholesale stores or places of business. T The ordinance above mentioned operates In connection with another ordinance which Is for. the purpose to prevent solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, and the lll^e from going upon private residences or premises business establishments or off toes for the pupose of soliciting orders for the sale of goods without having been requested tor invited by the owner or occupant. According to the Information received by the Chamber of Commerce the two ordinances have resulted in a complete control of the peddler nuisance in Reno. * The Chamber of Commerce has turned the Reno ord lances over to Mayor McCorkle with a request he investigate same and If satisfied the Reno measures are as reported, to consider adoption of similar ordinances for Camden. . * Grace Cbyrch Lenten Services -Sunday services: Holy .communion at B a. m.; Church school 45 a. m,; morning prayer and sermon at U;16; Y.
