Some of the fans have made inquiry aa to why the poor attendance at the Christmas afternoon game. We have made a number of inquiries and to the best of our knowledge It was due In the main to late dinners, especially for.* fans from out of city point8, - - - ' ( - * Then too, the transfer of tho gume of Sunday from the No. 1 Held to the rough, unattractive surrondings of the No. 2 practice held did not contribute to public enthusiasm. Out of town fans are wanting some intercity competition on the turf. This should be done if possible, if only to maintain interest In the polo program. v * The plan of Jack Mullen to have j some season tickets for the .basketball schedule printed and sold to Camden sport followers Is a good one. We suggest.to the holders of these tiek'ets thaf each and every one attend the games. Last season, with a girl's championship team in tho field, the basket ball program attracted a season gate of Jess than $100. We are ashamed to admit it. We would urge all fans of the city and community to turn out for the basket ball games this season. Coaches Smith and Small have good squads in action and the games are well worth seeing. ? Uur headache this season. Failure to get a ball club for spring training, Syracuse wanted to come, here?so did Birmingham. So did Springfield? but no dice. It seems rather Ironical to me that Camden, the first city In the Palirrfftli^ state ^o have the'distinction of having a big league team select it as a training camp, must take a back seat this season, while Sumter, Aiken, Greenville, Columbia and other cities enjoy spring baseball. m m ?. The eastern wing of the north to south great national cavalcade of the air will stop at Camden Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Councilman Jack Netties and his wife are to have charge of the serving of coffee and sandwiches to the flyers. m Dexter Martin states that the original plan calls for fully 300 planes to drop In each afternoon. The Jact that the north is in the grip of old King Boreas, who has dished up a menu of blizzards, low tempetratures and othwinter merchandise, may result In some of the flyers giving up the trip. ? Well, no matter how many?or how few?Camden will be ready to do Its share in telling the world that we have the south's finest air field aud the most friendly people.

A C^SE OF FLIJU-1918 TYPE (Part Three) , The third day of flu is exactly like the (list day and the second day. only much worse. The doctor came In ami made his soundings. I saw him hesitate a few minutes, then began to talk to some one who could hear htm, but I got an Idoa what the subject was from the frown and puckered condition of his face, viz: I was to take something that was really something, possibly a dose of the last resort. 1 didn't care much what they gave me; I knew I wasn't going to get well nohow. It seems thut this proposed administration was to bo of a rare type. ( gathered that It was the drug that was discovered years and years ago, long before fancy medicines canto Into vogue. It 1h a produfct of l)r. Castor 1 teau. M. D., 1,. L. D., W. G.? l'h. IV. and several other "D's" not now available It Is a white, viscous, slow-moving lluid of about the consistency of thick molasses, and nothing has ever boon, found to smell like it It is also good for airplanes. The" dotte was prepared In the fol-( lowing manner: First, my mouth was populated with cracked Ice and cold water for S minutes. Second I rinsed the said mouth with vinegar [ after gargling Third, one part of orange juice was placed in the botJ torn of a large glass. Fourth, six parts of medleluce was poured on top J of the bottom layer. And. Filth, some lemon juice was squeezed on top of the whole. The doctor held the glass, the nurse held my feet, and 1 hold my breath I soon knew something had happened. That confused taste has no equal: I've even tasted taw guava. They suy I slept some after this experiment. 1 dreamed of eating some of the worst food 1 ever heard of. Ono of my friends phoned and asked how much longer they thought I** would live. The other friend was out of town. I must jKa^e been out of I my head part^bt-tne time: 1 do not , recall having thought of my buslnoss, or my past-due notes, or my poor collections. or anything of that nature: surely I was unconscious. I was promised some food within a few days, that Is?if I wanted any food. I couldn't think of~anyfSlng in the world that was lit to eat. So went the end of the third day of misery and suffering. A CASE OF FLU?1918 TYPE (Part Four) The fourth day found the flu , settling In the weakest part of my anatomy, namely: the head. They say it always "seeked" out the soft spots of the body to hibernate In. My ears and sinus and eustachian tube and Jawbones and tonsils and larnyx and goozler began to pain me. An eyeear-nose-throat specialist came to see me. I don't think I ever saw a fellow carry aTbrig Bd many tools as he bad ^ unless It was possibly a plumber, and even he always forgot the main instrument. I was thoroughly looked into both pro and S?ii. Seven different things were squirted up my nostrils and 6 other things were vaporized down my *? throat. He, -the doctor, stayed with me an hour and then went away. He sent two armsful of drugs, meddiclnes, accessories, absorbent cotton and so forth back with explicit Instructions to use them all unmercifully. I had 8 drops of hot oil poured into each ear and plugged them with cotton. Then I lay flat across the bed and let jny head hang down to tho floor so'b 26 drops of brimstone could bo loosed Into my nose. After these two operations had proved successful, I was permitted to turn over and stay turned for a few minutes: * then another dose of pomething elee was ready. I couldn't hear, . smell, see, think, talk, listen, grumble, growl, or complain. I was hogtied without a rope. I never felt so helpless In my life except once: that was when my sweetheart kicked me for Bub Green at age 17. My temperaturo Was down but my breathing was up. My Hps were as parched as Indian corn. . I felt that an attack of plurlsy was coming on, but found that It was a teaspoon under the cover. The day wore on Into the night and # . 1 wore on into the mattress. I took the cramps in my left knee Just after I had got them rubbed out of my right knee. 1 thought a little later that my appendix had returned from the hospital where I left it 12 years ago, but It was something else. My head ached only on the Inside: the outside only hurt. My eyes were burning so I waa afraid to let the bed-sheet* touch them, they might have been aet on lire. After taking , ft sleeping pill* and a stuah of Bopr* bone (T) and getting a hot poultice on my cheat, 1 went to sleep, and *w ? - r
