Charlie was taken with flu and romained indoors j until the day of the Virginians' horse' show. Keeping him away from a] horse show Is a big job.

Sabbath day. Having the dad-busted furnace blast ine with a wave of sooty smoke whhh sent me to the showers. Letters from home In the morning' post. A wonderful morning worship at Clratreehureh during which tlie choir went to town on several numbers. Listening to a beautiful sermon and confirmation service by Bishop (Iravatt. A swell dinner and then to the polo Meld where another record crowd of spectators had gathered. Chatting with Abo Ken noil who came over with the frau to see t.ho game. Abe saying ho was . really amazed at the size of the crowd. Saying ho was at Pinehurst i the Sunday before and the crowd numbered onky about 500 people. After : the game a visit to the Kirk wood grill where we watched scores of young people.enjoy themselves. Some swell music by the Wharton Pord orchestra. I The peak event of the day?the 'buffet j supper in the main dining room as prepared and served by Chef Anthony Bareello. It was something to talk j about, something that Camden people i who delight in things artistic and offered with real artistry shoulld partake of. Wish i could find enough ad-i I jectlves to explain just how fine this | buffet supper business really Is. Personally I think Camden is lucky to have that kind of food service. And the atmosphere at the Kirkwood adds a lot of lustre to the affair. * Art Clarke and Wylie Shoorn sure had the smiles Sunday afternoon. While the number of spectators at the polo game might have been several hundred less than the Sunday -before, there were more cars in the polo area. For half an hour before the game Broad street was a parade of autos. 9 * * ?

A lot of Camden bosses to take part. The next week the Aiken races and then the Carolina cup event, ? Speaking of basketball.

CAMDEN BOY IN DEBATE AT CITADEL MILITARY COLLEGE < ? Charleston. March 3. - The Citadel 'was host this week to the women's debate team of William ami Mary College.

The Citadel was represented hv Cadets Charles E. Flowers of Zebulou. N. ("., and Horace L. Tllghman of Maria#. S. C.

HOW THE PEE DEE MISSED WORLD FAME Few people outside the Carolinas now ever mention the Pee Dee River. That it rlsss in North Carolina, is known for a long distance as Yadkin River, then changes its name to Pee Dee and Hows clear across South Carolina?this Is its prosaic and unromantic geographical record. Yet almost?almost?tho name "Pee Dee" became world-famous, beloved in every continent and by all races of men?as the recent , election of Stephen Collins Foster to tho American Hall of Fame serves to remind us. For in the first draft of Foster's immortal "Old Folks at Home" he first used the nam^ "Pee Dee River" (although -misspelling it slightly). Just supposede had not changed his mind?'Well, listen to this statement by Harold V. Mllligan and think how narrowly the Pee Dee missed universal fame and affection: " 'Old Folks at Home' is Foster's chief claim to remembrance. Aside from one or two national airs, born of great historical crises, such as the Marseillaise, this is probably the most widely known and loved song ever written. Translated into every_European language and into many Asian and African tongues, it has been sung by millions the world over and has long since passed out of the realm of written song to be incorporated into the body of folk music passed orally from generation to generation, breathing the very soul of .the people."?1 ho Progressive Farmer.

NANNIE FAULKENBERRY Administratrix Camden, ?5. C., March 11, 1341 Vegetable Laxative Has Important Points Most people want a laxative to do three things: (1) act punctually, (2) act thoroughly, (3) act gently. Here's one that usually fills all three requirements when the easy directions are followed. It's an allvegetable product whose principal ingredient has medical recognition as an "intestinal tonic-laxative." That's the ingredient which enables BLACK-DRAUGHT to help tone lazy bowel muscles. It is the main reason for the satisfying relief from constipation that generally follows next morning when BLACK-DRAUGHT is taken at bedtime. The. millions of packages used are proof of its merit.

Is This Racket j Worked In Camden ?j (Continued From Page Two) lng and insidious propaganda employed 'by the loan companies to defy the legislature and prevent the introduction of regulation such as is in effect in other states. The author shows beyond possibility of refutation that regulation Is both desirablo and feasibly, judging by the experience of states which have honestly grappled with problem during the past quarter century. In fact, he took the trouble to consult lenders, borrowers and public offle'als in Virginia, wh&re regulation has ex listed since 1918, to verify both the merits and the weaknesses of a regulated system as compared with the unregulated system conditions in J the Carolinas. In Virginia, as in more | than 20 other states, the regulatory l act is based on the uniform small loan i jlaw drafted, and often revised, by the ! Russell Sage foundation. The autnor or 'The Small lx>an Pro' blent in the Carolinaa" is a native of Orange county, Virginia. He was I graduated from Tusculum college in Tennessee and received his M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from Duke university. I ' Ho has contributed to tho I>otrolt Law Review, Rocky Mountain Uw Review, Iowa I^aw Review and I^iw and Contomj>orary Problems. The usual charges in Columbia, it is reported, are $16.60 for $60 for 90 day8. Payments aro made olthor once a month or every two woeks of $22.2o or $11.10 until tho loan is retired. So in a year's time tho original $60 has earned $66.40, assuming the borrower pays ofT regularly. No In dorsers are required. NOTICE To Delinquent Taxpayers YOU HAVE NO DOUBT NOTED THAT MESSRS*.
