MONTGOMERY (Staff Correspondent) Camden, Oct. 12?Cotulng on the ht'fl.H of announcement that South Carolina's lint yield was expected to establish a record of 350 pounds an acre this year, this famous resort city and the rest of Kershaw county Joined hands today with the rest of the stale In paying homage to King Cotton. With Miss Emily Xeuip reigning as queen, the second annual Camden aud Kershaw county cotton festival attracted thousands who participated in the festivities of the occasion, which lucluded a Rotary guest luncheou with the principal address by Gen. j James C. Coaler, adjutant geueral of South Carolina, on the position of America In world affairs and a gorgeous parade. Droning airplanes scattering flowers of colored confetti, exquisite flouts, beautiful girls, martial music from three uniformed bauds, polo pluyers astride their mounts, carriages of ante-bellum days, the queen and her lovely court and other''units combined In the picturesque procession. Events of the day started at 10 o'clock this morning when FarmerMayor, Nicholas P. Gettys of Lugoff and his couucll of farmers took over the city. Then followed a hog calliug contest, a husband calling contest, races for fat men and stout women, a water flght between policemen and firemen and a ball that brought the program to a happy conclusion. The parade, two and a half iniloa long, was one of the most elaborate ever witnessed In Camden. The l*aucaster high school band led one division, the Charleston police band one and the University of South Carolina baud one. Winners in the float divisions were: Agricultural, South Carolina Statp farm; rural community division, Red Cross, first, and Kershaw Council of Farm Women, second; organization, Camden Garden club, first, and Junior Welfare league, second, with the Boy Scouts getting honorable mention; miscellaneous, Kershaw County Tuberculosis association, first, and United Daughters of the Confederacy, second. Winners In the window decorations co n Les ta_ we re: The Fashion shop, first; Belks, second, and The Outlook shop, third. At the guest luncheon, sponsored by, the Camden Rotary club, General Dozier, who was awarded the congressional medal for valor ami bravery In the World war, declared, "In the United States we can keep on raising cotton. We can meet together In fellowship like this, we can preserve our traditions, serve our country and look to our president and our government to lead us in the right direction. Let's not Jump at conclusions; we are 3,000 miles away from the European war and we can stay neutral." General Dozier pointed out that the United States, In agreement with other nations, had sunk Its own battleships with Its own guns after the World war, which it fought for the purpose of preserving democracy. Other nations, instead of disarming as agreed, laughed at the "foolishness" of Uncle Sam and continued their programs of armament and training. In the light of this experience, General Dozier said he was a strong advocate of a strong national defense. He said that he did not favor a big standing army, but that he did favor the training of young men so that they would be able to protect themselves and not be caught unprepared as they were in the last war. Ho condemned Fritz Kuhn, the bund leader, and others who were taking refuge behind antl-Amerlcan activities In the United States, saying he believes in the expulsion of all persons of similar character and Intentions. These un-American aliens give a foreign salute and use OjA Glory for an office floor mat,' the speaker said. General Dozier pointed out that the star of power had visited many peoples during history: The Babylonians, Syrians, Mongolians, Huns, Romans, and finally, In the 17th century, Great Britain: but during the World war, which Uncle Sam entered as a giant wrapped in swaddling clothes, the star of power moved over the United States. "Let us keep it there," he said, "and by the example of peace show] the rest of the world the strength of democracy." General Dozier indicated that he considered reepeal of the arms embargo as the best road to maintenance of neutrality. He pointed out 1 that Germany and other countries ' were now fighting with weapons of '! United States manufacture and de' sign, that three-fourths of Japan's > munitions used against "the poor Chinese" came from this country. I Spain, he said, was used as a proving ground for new implements of war.ru General Dozler was Introduced by Senator M. M. Johnson of Kershow county. Henry G. Carrlsou presided over the program part of the meeting. Jack Whltakor, Rotary president, was proaldlng officer for the luncheon. Mayor F. N. McCorklo of Camdou welcomed the visitors. He said thaf Camden and Kershaw hoped to make the Annual Cottop festival a statewide affair. N. P. Gettys, farmer-mayor, advocated the county's raising all the foodstuffs it could to supply Its home needs. He Introduced tho members of his council: R. C. Jones of Liberty Hill, J. 13. McCoy of Camden, R. F. D., W. A. Boykln of Boykin, M. G. King of Bethune and L. P. Rose of Blaney, and Farmer-Police Chief D. G. McLeod of Blaney. Councilman J. W. Sowell of Kershaw was the only absentee. Congressman James P. Richards spoke briefly, congratulating those In charge of the festival and contrasting the strife of Europe and the peace of this country. Senator Jeff Bates of Columbia brought a word of greeting from Richland county. Mayor L. B. Owens of Columbia said he believed that Camden and Kershaw, by promoting the festival had done much to increase the yield of cotton In this state. He advocated the donation of prizes to counties and Individuals for high lint yields. Mayor Robert Frazer of Chester, said he hoped to see the cotton festival grow into proportions of "another Mardl Gras." Kershaw county representatives Estridge and Clyburn spoke briefly and called attention to the many improvements made In Camden in the last quarter of a century. Dr. J. Rlon McKlssick, president of the University of South Carolina; Dr. E. M. Gwathney, president of Converse college and a number of other guests were Introduced. Largely through the efforts of Frank H. Heath, secretary of the Camden chamber of commerce, the annual cotton festival was inaugurated last year.
