York, 38. Bethania, N. C. said by the Federal Narcotics Bureau at Charlotte to have Federal penitentiary records, were taken into custody by Camden police Wednesday afternoon after an alleged attempt to steal narcotic drugs from the Cut Rate Drug Store here. According to the police report Williams and York entered the drug store and while York engaged the druggist In conversation Williams asked permission to wash his hands at a lavatory in the rear. "Doc" Bowell, drug store manager, was suspicdoha of York , and when he chanced to glance toward the back of the store, saw the shadow of a hand reaching toward keys which locked the drawers in which the narcotics are kept, Sowell rushed hack and Williams beat a retreat. Police caught up with Williams and York a few minutes lat-j er and placed them in the guard house. However, as no felony had been committed they, were both released later. Narcotic ageMa' ttt Charlotte are alleged to have Vnformed Chief Rush of the. local police that the two were listed as expert narcotic thieves and had served time In the Atlanta penitentiary.

Draft Board Office In Legion Building The Kershaw county draft b-.ard opened headquarters on the first floor of the American I>egion building on De.Kalb Street Thursday morning with Wylle Hogue in charge as chief clerk. Miss lAMiise McLeod will be stenogra-. pher'At the headquarters. The space occupied toy the draft board offices is on the west side or store front and with the entire Interior of the area remodeled and renovated, provides splendid facilities for the work of the hoard. . weir" According to Chairman John Whitaker, ?Jr. of the draft board the headquarters will be open daily. t ~ . ?\ c " * V , Q The Skipper Raves Over The "Motilities" (My The Skipper) HtKomly I had the rare privilege of sitting In on a preview of the famous Paramount drama "North West Mounted Police" starring Gary Cooper and Madeline Carroll. It was a Cecil l>eMllle production, wihk'h makes it lope. The picture, shown in technicolor, | had lie premier showing In Canuda I this week. Tho preview I was fortunate enough to he Invtted to attend waa for exhibitions of tho southeastern part of the country. The cast included, besides Cooper and Carrol], such outstanding stars as Puulette Goddard, Robert l^reston, Lynne Overmann, Preoton Foster, Akltn Tamlroff, George Bancroft, Ion Ohaney, Jr., and others. The coloring of the picture was exquisite, * quite the finest I have over witnessed on the aoreen. The picture itself Is breath-taking in Its intensity of action, but withal ofTers plenty of comedy. Gary Cooper, as Duster Rivers, a Texas ranger, who seeks a murderer in the Canadian wilds; Preston Foster, as Sergeant Jim Brett; George Bancroft ds Jacques Corbeau, a half-breed trouble maker; Paulette Goddard, excitingly lovely as Louvette Corbeau; Lv rune Overman, as Tod Mclluff; Madeline Carrol, as a beautiful Canadian nurse, and Robert Preston, as Ronnie Ixjgnn, were superb in their respective roles. The scenic background baffles description. Filmed in the Canadian wilderness and under 4he personal supervision of the famous Canadian mounted police, the pictjire carries an accuracy that ip interesting and educat ional. In the ranks of tthose who were witnessing the preview were Mr. and Mrs. T. l^ee I Tittle of Camden and according to Mr. Little, this masterpiece of the screen will be offered In Camden in December. Ln my own feeble way I can say to the theater-goers of Oamden that when the picture Is shown at the Oamden Theater, be sure to see it. In beauty of scenery. In drama, ln educational interest, hi the perfect performance of the characters. It stands al&ne in screendom today.

This is tho last home game for the Bulldogs until November 29, when they battle tihe heavy and powerful Charleston Bantams on Zemp Field here. Rotarians Hear Talk On Germany Calhoun Ancrum. Jr., made a splendid talk on Germany at Thursday's. Rotary meeting. He stressed the economic situation ln that country, telling of the seven year history of the Nazi regime, which led up to the equipping of one of the most powerful armies ever assembled, and the fighting of a most expensive war. He said the Germans 1n that short period concentrated every possible effort towards such an army and war by making every citizen enter hxto the economic system of providing every possible need for the country In the way of money and supplies. He tokl of the enormous taxation and the lost value of- the German Mark, and how every cltlzei* is accountable to the government even to killing a chicken or butchering a pig.

Camden Outstanding As Horse ('enter . ? Probably ibo moat outstanding tri* buto to t)U paid CttUUlWk the ideal training k round for horses 1a tbat which came from Miss Klizaboth Grinnoll. who discutwod the "natural" blotMlng offered horo, in a recent article in a turf magazine. The article appears umier the caption "Scientific Discoveries" and the writer states frankly that it would bo a wonderful thing for every coiwnunity where people have horses, especially race horses, If a few square miles of the soil that Camden has, could be transportod and sot down in each of them. "It la Just sandy enough to drain ; quickly and Is sufficiently fertile to root Bermuda grass" says Misa Orlnnell. "Down there it is laid in a country that provides a great variety of contour, sweeping acres of open space as hat as a billiard table, or gentle slopt-s, sharp hills or wood rides. You can imagine for yourself what sort of footing this makes. The grass root* reaching down into the loose earth and holding It, makes a springy bottom that will glvo without cutting and never gets deep or slippery* "With this sort of going everywhere, race horses can bo trained wtlh a? much Change of daily program. according to their jmlividual needs, as is necessary. "(live Camden cre<lit" continues the writer "for making the best of its natural blessings. Ingenuity has plannod and provided everything that nature left out. By careful and intelligent experimentation they are constantly Improving on what they have dons before. "Nothing, probably, c-ouid be more dangerous than experimenting with steeplechase horses and courses, but nothing is to be gained without it and since it must be done, some place such as Camden is the place to carry on. "The number of trainers and riders that dally make use of the Bchool courses, gallops and rides, are always a source of supply for constructive Ideas. Those who are in a position to carry Litem out are, under the able leadership of Harry D. Klrkover, unusually well equipped through knowledge and experience to weigh these ideas, sort out the good from the bad and put them In use. "There Is nothing narrow-minded or bigoted In the Oamden regime. It is aiming definitely at the goal of perfection?In the things that are moat practical, economical, healthy and convenient in stabling; school courses that will provide every facility for eny sort of horse, whether he is to toe raced on the flat, or over brush timber or hurdles; and three jump courses Ideal In every respect so that events held on them may be well and truly run and with the least possible risk of mishap.
