Residents of Mont,oat\ Colorado, decided a few years ago they would rather go out and do their shopping and an ordtance banning door to door soliciting was pass(.U The Colorado supreme court uphold the validity of the ordinance on the ground that cltlaens may aot lectlvely to guarantee the privacy of their homes just as they may Individually obtain such privacy. ? Down here in South Carolina the tourt has held that Buch ordinances are invalid. ? And so we have to put up with an Invasion of our homes. Pity the housewives whose daily routines have become punctuated with the frequent knock at the door or the ringing of the boll. Home-building or other construction is substantial evidence of progress and development in any community. It denotes the confidence and enterprise of the citizenship In the locality. That Camden will not be found lacking In this respect is demonstrated by the erection of many new residences, the remodeling of business bouses and homes and other construction work. *? Now for a few sport jottings. Chiefly may we suggest to all sport fans that he or she attend the basketball game between the Camden and Rock Hill high school teams hero tonight. In particular is attention centered on the game between the girls teams. Several weeks back Rock Hill defeated Camden by a lone point to put the onlv black mark on the Camden, record this season. While the Camden maidens did not offer any alibi for the - defeat, it was due entirely to . weird officiating by a couple of college gals. We are predicting a comfortable margin of victory for Camden tonight. The Camden Hunt is due a great deal of praise for the program offered at the hunter trials last week. Despite a cold wind that , kept the temperature down in the low 40's the en-i thusiasm of the spectators was warm and the performance of the hunters brilliant. ?? 'u~r ^?.-...-J * Congratulations to the Virginians', for the really high class horse show offered Saturday at the J. North Fletcher stables. The attendance was below that of last year but this was due to the weather. What the crowd present lacked in numbers It made up in enthusiasm. PetltW DoroUiy"Tlrofton Perry, the charming wife of Haggin Perry, of Cobham, Virginia, with her mount, Demopolls, .whs quite the whole show. Mrs. Perry comes from British South Africa, where her grandpappy Is some big-wlg in the government-fin fact? is boss of the territory. ? ? ... Mrs. Perry confided to this department that she has been riding but three years. We agree with a lot of the rallblrdB who know horses and horse shows that Mrs. Perry has come a long way in three years. * The little lady was on the verge of having the Jitters when the judges were considering the blue ribbon placement in the lightweight hunters i hiss. Demopolis had taken first place in three classes but in order to ; tuiify for the championship hunters lass, wuuiu have to score ine blue in 1 the lightweight group. i History relates how Demopolis was first iu the lightweight clnss and went into the championship lineup to take show honors. V * t Seen through the wlndshled last week. Motorists ignoring the stop signs at Lyttleton and DeKalb streets. Cars parking in the line of traffic in the block between Market and Broad on DeKalb, tying up traffic and causiug hurrying drivers to swing into the left traffic lane and cause a greater snarl. Why not a police officer in that block to put a stop to this whistle-stop practice of double-parking, which is made doubly vexing by reason of being on U. S. highway No. 1. ? Speaking of civic patriotism?well, listen to this. Several weeks ago two Camden golfers were playing at the Kirkwood oourBe. It was rather a cold day and both athletes were bundled in sweaters and leather coats. Along came the Seaboard special and the speed with which the golfers dofifed their leather coats and sweaters and paraded the fairways In shirt sleeves as the passenger coaches slid by, was really astounding. m m 9 Now we know why Colonel Knight, of Cool Springs, bellowed at us last Friday, "take that overcoat and muffler off Skipper!" The Seaboard cannon ball was Just puffing around the bend. ^ ? j. j Coach Cyril Harrison of the polo club is arranging for the appearance of a number of high goal players from Aiken to take part in an exhibition game with Camden pololsts a week from next Sunday.

Fob. 2, 1940?There aro !),129 points on the Btuto highway ay?turn in South Caroling wore sight distances are too aliorl far safe driving in present day traffic, C. S. Patrick, Secretary of the South Carolina Automobile Aaaoclatiou, pointed out In a statement hero today. "The urgent need for safer highways to reduce the toll of accidents and fatulitlea on the roads of our state demands that such haxards bo removed before one dollar ot highway funds is used for purposes other' than roads," Patrick said lu opposition to any proposals to divert highway reI venues to general functions of govern, moat. "The figures were gathered by the State-wide highway planning survey and in addition this survey shows that j there aro huudrods of bridges loo narrow for safety under present conditions," the tfiotor club executive added. A Mr. Patrick stated that recent re' liable surveys based on information gathered from the official records of the state highway department, the report of the comptroller general and the South Carolina tax commission show that automobile owners are the most heavily tuxed of all South CaroI lina citizens and added: "The motorI ists of this state are enntled to the safe highways for which they are paying." | Patrick said that those surveys show that gasoline, which ho termed a neI cessity is bearing a sales tax far more ' than double the sales tax Imposed on 1 many luxuries in this state and that automobiles are paying large sums In property taxes for general government. flfr* ? p S3 I ATTENTION FARMERS j Farm Credit at a Low Cost 1 All Responsible Farmers Eligible.

The following month, he had a pulmonary hemorrhage. About two months later, he was X-rayed and found to have generalized tuberculosis with cavity formation. Soon ho was admitted to a state saniatorium for ti^erculosis cases too late to do any good. At the same, school, a seventeenyear-old girl showed signs of weakness. fatgue and temperature followed by acute illness for. two weeks. Examination revealed pulmonary tuberculosis needing care in a sanatorium. During the time those things were taking place in the lives of students [>laying athletic games, the hlgli, school basketball coach began to lose weight and developed a slight cough. | Little attention was made to these symptoms for about six months. When the coach finally sought medical attention, it was found that he had tuberculosis In both lungs and was expectorating and spitting Up tuberculosis germs. So far nothing quite this serious has happened among the athletes in the Kershaw eounty high schools, but during the past year, several students, whose parents were asked to see their family physician about the advisability of young people in their homes continuing in the games, kept on playing. Already there have been -unfavorable results in the ease of one of the students whose health needed special protection. Because athletic games ar^ strenmous and so many cases of tuberculosis develop among young people between the ages of .fifteen and twentyfive, all superintendents of Kershaw county high schools are being urged toiy the local tuberculosis association to see that students participating in athletics ..and coaches for. athletic games are examined for tuberculosis at the beginning and close of each school year. ' H Tuberculin tests have been given in two high schools during the past week and X-ray clinics will be arranged at an early date for those needing examination. In this and many other ways, the Kershaw county tuberculosis association carries on a yearround program for the protection of the county's youths, thus giving tho dollars invested in Christmas Seals each year a continuous chance to render good service.
