Colorful Posters Feature Seal Sale Colorful posters, featuring the 1939 l Christmas Seal In different sizes, are being placed In every show window In the down-town section by Mrs. C. G. Kornegay and her committee. "Protect your home from tuberculosis" is the reminder on each poster,' calling attention of Kershaw county citizens the presence of far too much tuberculosis In our midst. This disease has taken the lives of at least nine persons here since the first of January and all were under forty-five years of age. , "There are in the Chirstmas Seal i Sale office enough posters for every t teacher in the county to have one for ( her class room to stimulate Interest in the sale of double-barred cross bangle pins in the schools These ate i being distributed by workers with other supplies from the Seal Sale headquarters. A liberal investment in Christmas j i Seals will represent our share in the, effort to bring about the time when) there will gradually be less and lessj first infection tuberculosis among the school children. Natives of Bermuda use shark oil in a bottle as a barometer. Chief of Police Warns Citizens Chief of Police, Alva Rush, calls attention to the citizens of Camden that this Is the season when a number of petty thefts occur, especially during the time between pow and Christmas. The time when packages are taken from parked automobiles, when shop lifters are busy lu the stores, when I strangers appear at the homes posingI as telephone, gas, or electric malnteml ance men. In view of this Chief Rush! urges the people to lock their c^ra when they are left parked on tbhj street and to be sure that the maln-|j tenanoe men are from the Arms they I claim to represent. L Merchants and business mon areI also warned about cashing checks for . strungers. "Recently, we have had complaints along this line and we I would appreciate It very much If y?ur would call us about suspicious char-1 j acters and we will gladly Investigate I promptly", says Chief Rush. Chief Rush also calls attention to I the "FUm-Flammers" which have I been making the rounds for years. I Yet, they have been successful sev'L eral times among the colored folks of I Camden Just recently. The Flim-I ( Flammers are very shrewd. They report to their victims that they have! found a pocketbook containing a large sum of money and if they wish I to share any of It all they have to do I Is to put up a small amount In good faith and share In the reward. Sometimes they pull their victims for as much as hundreds of dollars. Young Child Dies From Burns Ray Britton ~ Blytber, 13-year-old ' daughter and only child of Mr. and Mrs. R. B.

The child ran and!' before aid could reach her the flames! had enveloped her entire body. Shej was rushed to the Tourney hispital in I1 Sumter where she died Friday after! suffering great agony. The parents of the young girl re-11 sided In Camden for a number of 1 i years where Mr Blyther was con- ' nected with the old Southeastern express company.

Mayor Wants City To Be Beautiful Work on the decorating of the streets for the holiday period is beihg carried on rapidly by the water and light department under the direction of Superintendent Leon Tobin. The overhead lights, thousands of them, featuring the towering pillar of colored lights cascading from the top of the city hall building, have been completed over the entire downtown area. The placing of the pine trees about the city light standards will be start-] ed next Monday. At the same time a crew of men will trim the community tree in the library yard. Five hundred lights will be used on the tree decorations. According to Mayor McCorkle. tbe program of holiday decorations in Camden will be equal, if not superior to any in the state. The mayor regards the holiday program as being a community affair and especially interesting to the younger generation who still delight in the mystery and afTectlon of believing in Santa Claus. "We want our kiddles to get as much Joy and happiness out of the Christmas period as possible, said the mayor. "And If we can give them that happiness that comes with the period of the great Nativity, the Joy of seeing Santa Claus, of hearing the singing of carols, of seeing a fairyland of colored lights, I say, let us .jsmkx. leave anything undone that will insure childhood memories of a Camden Christmas to b? lasting and beautiful. The council of our city really believes in Santa ClauB. For the first six months of 1939, passenger miles flown are up appro* imately 34 per cent oyer the same period in 1938.

Seduction To Race Silver Dollar Again Sliver Dollar iuay have wou from Seduction here laet Saturday but the Dixie JJoykln brown horse refuses to concede the blaok gee gee anything. And for that reason Seduction will again pit his speed against the Dob lar, this time at the Belvldere track at Kutawvllle Saturday afternoon In the meet being sponsored by the St. John's Jockey club. Seduction and the Dollar will settle their own little private ?ru(^p while racing Fin Dace, a Bob H&rar entry and the rallbirds assert Fin Lace will be the favorite In the strut. Those who saw the Seduotion-Dollar dash last Saturday will recall the way the little brown horse's effort in the stretch when he came from somo four lengths In the ruck to a beautiful nose and nose finish. Dixie Boykin stated after the race that he fully believed Seduction would win a longer race and It looks now as If the hope of Seduction's owder may have a fulfillment, as the Berkeley, the event in which Seduction, Silver Dollar and Fin l^ace will take part tomorrow at Kutawvllle, will be over a longer distance. Quite a number of Camden sport lovers are Jaunting to the Kutawvllle races tomorrow. And speaking of the race program, over forty entries have been made and post positions drawn for the St. John's club classic. The largest field of horses in any event has been made in the Santee, a race for half-breed. In this there will be such favorites as Bo Peep, Tru Blu, and Will Rogers. In addition there will be several horses that have been run on this course before. The mule race, always a popular one, has proved even more so this fall and it Is possible that this will have to be run in two divisions. Keen Interest Is being displayed by the Negro riders, since the purse is being divided among them. The Berkeley, the longest race of the day has the rivals, Frank Hampton's Silver Dollar and Bogan Stables' Seduction, which had a match race in Camden last Saturday. The owners, not being satisfied, are trying for a longer distance and against the old favorite. Fin Lace, owned by Bob Hamer. In addition to these there are others that have never entered here before. The Belvldere, a race only for locally owned horses, will be a hotly contested event between plantation owners In this community. Last year's winner, Chariie, owned by Wain pee Plantation is also running the beautiful two-year-old filly Dipsy Doodle. Another event which will prove exciting to the spectators, will be the I Cheeka, for two-year-olds sired by a stallion standing in Berkeley or adjoining counties. This has the small1 est field of any event, only four be! ing entered at the present time. I The St. John's, the half-mile race, has eight excellent entries. Some of the new horses in this event include Col. Bob Brooks' Symbolic by Sir Gallahad. third. Blackout owned by Alonzo B. Segbrook of North Charleston. and Will Walker's Anne Doone by Muldoone. The race track has been the scene of Lively activity for the past several weeks. Kvery day horses are brought there for training and breezing out. Services Today For C. Rollie Davis C.

Annual Christmas Seal Sale Opens 'Formal opening of the .thirty-third annual Christmas Heal campaign takes place today in Camden, when a large' yompany of wideawake citizens rfroin every section of the county gathers for lunch and Inspiring talks in the dining .^oom of the Camden Ho tel, with Mrs. Thomas Aucrum as hostess," said Hey. A. Douglas McAru, chairman of the local speakers bureau. "Trying to calculate hi advance how many seals various homes and individuals wish to buy Is one of the chief tasks of the ChrlBtmas Seal committee. "Some persons may want more than the number we send out to them, said Mr. MeArn. "Others may want less, and In that case they are requested to return the unwanted number in the envelope addressed to Harold W. Funderburk, who is actiug as treasurer of the Christmas Seal Sale drive." For those who desire to have more than we mail out, I can say the committee cheerfully will send additional sheets of seals on notification. "Datributlon and purchase are made easy by the method of mailing out the seals. The addressed return envelope is a convenience to the purchaser. The public has never failed to cooperate in this annual campaign agplnst tuberculosis and the committee is confident that there will be no let-down this year. "Buy your seals now and use them early. Be among the first to put these decorative stamps on your regular mail, thus expressing a desire to help make every home and school in the county safe for children and the youth of the community."
