WOMEN URGED NOT TO STOCK UP HEAVILY ON SILK HOSIERY Washington, Aug. 1?In an appeal to women not to stock up heavily on hosiery, Harriet Elliott, head of the1 consumers division of the Office of Price Administrator and Civilian Supply, said tonight that women who woro buying silk stockings in quantity were conducting a "selfish raid" on the nation's supply. Miss Flliott said reports had reached her from retail ceutors that some customers were stocking up on hosiery. "In the interest of fair play I am asking all consumers voluntarily to ration their hosiery purchases?that fs, to buy today only for current use? In order to give those consumers with limited incomes an opportunity to share in the available supply." She asked hosiery purchasers not to buy from retailers who sell at higher prices than usual, because retailers have been asked not to raise prices on silk stockings. Any store keeper who boosts prices, she added " Is taking advantage of tho national crisis to fill his own pockotbook at tho expense of yours." She suggested four rules for care of hosiery to guide consumers In conserving their own supply. The rules: 1. Wash stockings and socks im- j mediately after taking them off. -. 1'se a luke warm, neutral soap Mids, and don't rub. Press gently to } force soap through the fabric. 8. Dry in the shade. Sunlight and li'-at deteriorate silk. I Take care of runs Immediately. J Carry a small bottle of run preventive or colorless nail polish In your bag. j Put a drop at the top and bottom of il>- run immediately. Renew the | treatment afler each washing or sew' up the run.

Lenoir. N. C.. July 31.?When it comes to tracking down a criminal? the FBI has nothing on a Blue Ridge mountain King snake. Last Saturday morning Mabel Coffey. 10-year-old Edgemont girl, was bitten by a rattlesnake, and the following Monday morning the child died. Saddened by the death of his daughter and seeking revenge upon heT assallnnt, the father of the girl.1 Cuba Coffey, and several of his neighbors in the Edgemont section, kept a watch on a hole near the home which, It was believed the snake inhabited. On ono of these visits to the hole the men found the "rattler and a King snake engaged in a violent battle. A King snake, it is said, wfll not i harm a human being, but is a vicious enemy among the reptile creatures of the earth. The battle that followed between the two snakes lasted for seven hours, a struggle in which only the victor could survive. Large numbers of people were attracted to the scene when the word was passed out. and watched the battle. The two snakes matched their strength in a dramatic conflict lashing the ground, hissing, each struggling In the colls of the other. 1 Finally the King snake was victor. I When hours after the battle began, Mr. Coffey looked In upon the affray ^ again, only the 12 rattlers and the last foot of the snake's long four-footed body could ho seen. The king snake had swallowed all but the tail of his opponent. Thus, a King snake tracked <!<>wn a criminal and made him pay w ith Ids life for that of a child, avenging j one death and preventing" a repot it ion | of the horrible fate met by the little girl.

' MAYOR'8 PROCLAMATION Tonight the football teams of Camden and Kershaw will play at the Zemp stadium. This game, arranged as a charity affair to raise a fund to send a group of our boys to the North Carolina mountains for several weeks, Is a worthy afTalr and deserving of the support of every citizen of Camden. I strongly urge all who can to attend this game. The small admission price you pay. added to the fees paid by others, will enable many youths, who would otherwise be unable to go to the camp, to be in the group and enjoy the healthful recreation and training to be accorded the camp group. I urge the cooperation of the good people of Camden in this worthy cause. Signed: P. N. McCORKLE, Mayor of Camden. GARDEN NOTE8 Mr. E. P. Rogers of the Charlotte Observer tells us that the helianthemum or sunrose deserves to be better known and more widely used in our gardens for it is a delightful little plant that fits into various places such as sunny rock garden, low rock wall at the edge of a bed, or a border. "The sunrose is a very dwarf, spreading perennial with delicate evergreen foliage. The flowers resemble the rose somewhat and come in white and many colors?yellow, all shades of pink, red and purple. Some are single, some double. They are small and delicate. It will grow and bloom in almost any soil, poor sandy or rocky, but is much more luxuriant in good soils. It will do with very little water, even in very dry soil, but profits by a liberal supply. It likes to spread over rocks i and find root-holds over ledges and between rocks. It must have a well drained location and must be in a sunny place. Culture of this desirable little plant is easy if these two requirements are kept in mind. lielianthemum can be raised from seed, from divisions and from cut-J tings. It is beet to plant the seed in I the coldframe as soon as ripe in early summer if you are planting your own seed.# which will probably. give hybrids of very interesting colors. If you have never tried growing this lovely little perennial, get plants now from some nurseryman nearby nnd try it out. You can propagate from it by all three methods?cuttings, divisions, and seeds?for a plentiful supply to set out next spring. It is an ornament to any location where low-growing, semitralling shrubs will fit in the picture. The colors blend with almost any plantings. The flowers open only when the sun strikes them and the petals drop usually before the end of the day. As soon as Lho sun is on them next day, the bush is again covered with the delicate bloom."?Elizabeth Raum, Camden Garden Club Publicity. Coming Haiglar: I Mon.?Tues. I AUGUST 25?26 ! j GENEAUTRY I In ; | 'SUNSET IN WYOMING* I ARMY OFFICER SPEAKER AT ROTARY CLUB LUNCHEON Visitors last week were Bud Zetnp and Colouel John A. Brockmau. retired, of Columbia, 8. C. John de Loach suggested that the club take inultable recognition of the able work done In behalf of Boy Bcouta In this community by lieu Team, who has recently left Camden to enter the service of the United States Army. The suggestion, followed by a motion, askled for a gift from the club accompan| led by suitable resolutions. The program next week will be lu the hands of Henry O. Carrlson. This week It was In charge of Beruie Dunlap, with Colonel Brockmau, of Co-i lumbia, his guest speaker and the talk was somewhat vocational. He spoke of the European war aud the ambitions of Mr. Hitler, in order that he may continue to hold his Job as Is the way of all dictators. The colonel told of the tine work the Russians had been doing for the past six weeks, but his guess was the Russian's greatest loss was when they liquidated most of the army brains a few years ago, but "if the Germans could be hold off till wintpr, the Russlans's will win." He also spoke of Japan's attitude of aggression and expansion and the uncertainty of such a step. He then told of the organization of South Carolina defense commission with Dr. Jacobs, of Clinton, as stated chairman, aud John de Loach as chairman for Kershaw County. He then outlined the commission's duties and gave a detailed plan of civilian defense and planning division. Local Man Is Asked To Appear In Fight Louis H. Newklrk, Jr.. executive of the Newkirk Industries here, and fulfilling an extensive government contract in roasting of coffee for Forts Jackson and Bragg and also for the First Army has beeh appointed by the coffee roasters of South Carolina to 1 represent Them kt the maritime commission hearing regarding the ClydeMallory lines curtailment and possible discontinuance of services to Charleston. Mr. Newklrk on Wednesday ' sent telegrams to Senator Roger Peace and Congressman H. P. Fulmer calling attention to the fact that if the application of the Clyde-Mallory line was granted It would allow Georgia and VIrgnia coffees to be sold In South Carolina at prices below the figures quoted by South Carolina concerns. Mr. Newklrk called attention to the fact that South Carolina coffee firms now handle fully 90 per cent of coffee and teas through the port of Charleston, making service through this port of vital concern to them. An Interesting note of the Newklrk protest was to the effect that his company has the contract for roastins six million; ' five hundred thousand pounds of coffee for the government and that the war maneuvers in this area in the fall may tie up car and truck transportation. Discontinuance of the port service at Charleston nilght necessitate coeffeeless days (or the people in this area. Due to additional defense needs over one million pounds per week is anticipated In coffee movements in South Carolina alone. Mr. Newkirk has been asked to appear before the maritime commission ! at a hearing to be held next week at which time he has promised to have all substantiating data with him. He will appear, not only as a representative oi the coffee roasters of the state, but aslo as a representative 'ft Governor Maybank. There are at least 60 stars to every man, woman and child on earth.
