theatre were Jammed with hundreds
of people.
,* Whereas" In other localities where
the first showing of "Gone With the
Wind" has been featured by the playing

Take First Steps
!. To Secure Armory
J Initial steps toward securing a $50,000.00
armory building for Camden
were taken at a joint conference between
members of the Camden city
council and the Kershaw county delegation
at the city hall here Thursday
afternoon.
, Fearful that the present small and
inadequate quarters of the Camden
military unit would be made the basis
for action similar to that taken at
Charleston when there waa a threat
of taking the unit from the city,
.prompted the conference today.
In order to take advantage of federal
fid In the securing of a large
new armory building, the city and
county will have to provide a site 300
by 800 feet in else and contribute approximately
$11,000.00 In cash. The
I oity already has a splendid-site whlehit
proposed to donate and will also
I agree to assume a proper percentage
of the financial obligation. The counfty
delegation representation at the
| meeting wae in favor of the project
and stated that the matter would be
discussed by all of the members of
the delegation at an early date.
Until such time as the necessary
steps toward financing the project
and providing the site can be taken,
the location suggested af Thursday's
meeting will not be made public.
It is stated that the location Is
jsuob-that aTlne new building will be
exposod to the gate of the motoring
public and be'a big advertising asset
to Camden progress* It would alsol
permit of a large parade ground being I
I arranged nearby. The whole project1
would be landscaped and present an I
attractive appearance. I
It was pointed out that The drill
auditorium of the building would be'
100 feet long and 77 feet In width and
would be so arranged as to permit
of concerts, conventions and other
rorms of public gathering being held
therein it was said that not only
would the proposed new building take
care of the needs of the military unit
for a quarter of a century or longer,
but itr would also supply a long-needed-want
as a community canter for
Camdon and Kershaw county.
Caretaker's Life Is
Saved by Pet Tabby
Fred^Pratt, caretaker at the Quaker
cemetery here, owes his life to a pet
cat, whose frantic efforts to claw her'
way through a window of the caretaker's
cottage awakened Pratt, who
had only time to leap through the
Window when flames engulfed the
bedroom of the dwelling early this
mofining.
. -PraL suffered laceration* on his
feet when he kicked the glass from
the window- before leaping through.
He then hurried to a nearby phone
and gave the alarm. As the cemetery
Is located' too far from a city hydrant
to provide water for the Are department,
It was Impossible to control the
Are, the entire building and contents
being consumed. Pratt's wife and
children were spending the .night with
relatives in the city, else there might
have been a tragic ending to the fire.
Many chickens In a nearby poultry
house were destroyed.
The city announced that the caretaker's
cottage would be rebuilt at
once. While the cottage was operated
for the Quaker cemetery association,
It was on an extension of Campbell
street and for that reason it will
be possible to build the new structure
as a WPA project.
Another Blaze Put Out
The fire department was called to
the rear of the Baruch home on Lyttleton
street Monday morning at 11
o'clock to extinguish a grass Are that
had started in the vicinity of some
frame buildings.

When she called her husbafld and

If he ventured out, so be awaited the i
departure of the couple In a car and
then hurried out to locate a bluecoat.
But net friend wife, Mrs. Monarch
scribbled down the license number on
the car and then jratched It as it
moved down the street, turned about
and came back to the middle of the

estate course before a crowd of
6,000 spectators.

event of the day, was won

winner until he fell at the 2 1-2. mile
jump, Oil Bias, another Camden

of New York, was the* tftiTy^ttther
horse to finish In this feature race.

Hero Enshrined
With His General
A photograph of Lieutenant Richard
Rowland Kirkland, heroic figure
of the Civil Way period, and one of
the Confederacy's most gallant soldiers,
has been placed on the wall of
the American Legion Hall.
This heroic lad, whose brave deed
at Fredericksburg when he went forth
from the lines of the gray to bring
succor to the dying on the battle field,
enshrined him for eternity, greets one
now from this life-size bust picture
which has been placed next to that
of General Joseph Brevard Kershaw,
who was his commander on that memorable
day in 1862, while neartjy
are picturos of other Illustrious soldiers
from Camden, namely, Generals
.Tnhn T>ohy Knnnndv .Tnhn PnrdAhAVo
Vlllepigue, James Chesnut, Zach Cantey
Deas and James Cantey.
The deed which has made the name
of Richard Rowland Kirkland immor- "
tal In the history of the lost cause is
written In an outstanding manner ih
American history. It was the twentyyear-old
lad In the gray of the Southland
who, unable to stand the cries
of phtn coming from the dying and
the wounded, begged of his general,
Joseph Brevard Kershaw, for permission
to go and carry water to the unfortunates
out in the "no man's
land."
General Kershaw was reluctant to
accede to the request, but finally unable
to stand the pleas of the young
soldier, said "all right, Kirkland, but
don't you know you will get a bullet
through your head the moment you
Btep over that wall?"
Without even showing a wihtd handkerchief,
Lieutenant Kirkland, then
Sergeant Kirkland, secured a supply
of water and then boldly ventured Into
the line of fire between the battling
armies. And when the Union
soldiers saw this slender youth in
Confederate gray start on/his missien
of Christltke mercy, all-firing
ceased and chetoqi rose from the j
ranks of the blue ahd the gray alike
?Americans all. v
