Naturally the first bit of, gossip of
your swivel chair key poundor this
Veek concerns the all-star football
game.
Right off the keyboard we want to
tay that K. Clarkson Rharne, who
handled the program of the sport
classic did a fine job. But<" did he
get cooperation? Emphatically NO.

Out of twenty-four grldders who had
promised their presence In uniform to
uphold the prestige of Bulldog foottell,
hut fifteen showed up but and
telleve it or not, not a blocking back

The crippled team deserves a pat
! on the back for doing as well as they
did and we believe the boys who
ahowed their civic patriotism In getting
out cn a hot night in order to
entertain a crowd who in turn had
planked down four bits or less to
help the football camp fund, deserves
a lot of credit and commendation.
*r|
As for the slackers, well, let us
;fcop9 that in future games they will
he ignored. What burns us- up Is
that in the list of the slackers are
beys who went to the football camp
in previous years because some other
were interested enough to get
out and play in the camp fund game.
Now isn't that
?
Well, the game was good to watch.
There were mlsplays of course?but1
vhat would you expect of a gang of
boys who had not donned the grid
togs in a year, and In some instances,
more than a year. We were amaxed|
at the few fumbleB made. We We^e
amazed at the way that Newton lad
carried the mail, v And we chuckled
w\th gtee when we saw those soaring'
kicks from the toe of Bill Mullen.
John Villepigue was there and what
a hand he got. Lindsay Pearce the
new athletic director was also present
and came in for applause.
' ' -
Yates VUleplgue and hla side kick
McDowell were there as bucket boys
and first aid mehiors,

Kershaw fans predict a winning
football team fpr Kershaw High this
fall. The back field usedoln the allstar
game was a high school group,
Knoxy Jones, Oglethorpe coach who
polished up the visiting all-star group
says Kershaw should go places in
high school fobiball this season.
.
Beck Russell, Lieutenant Glyburn
and your skipper were much interested
in the. V or victory sign in the
east bleachers. >

The football field was in fine shape
and gives promise of being better
than ever for the footba^ season this
fall. ,

Wet want to doss this football dessertatlcn
by again telling Boss
Rhame that he did a swell Job. Yoii
see, - RhMme is not connected with '
the high school faculty or coachjng
staff;' WTtave his trai^To' aid the
camp fund program. And again we
say* It's a shame that he lacked of
the p&pef chotferhttoh. "

Speaking of football-r-don't forget
next Thursday night to tune in on
the Mutual Broadcasting system story
of the all-star Chicago Bears game
at Soldier field In Chicago. The AllStars,
coached by Carl Snavely of
Cornell faces the. toughest assignment
of his football career. .All he
has to do is to whip together a team I
which will match the Bears, the men!
who massacred the Washington Red*
skins 73 to 0 for the world., title
last year.
But listen, you grid sharks, Snavely
really believes the famous Halas "T" j
formation can be stopped and be says
he will do it, But Carl doesn't only
want.to stop the Bears?he wants to
beat them. He says the pros will
find the Cornell running and passing
attack loaded with TNT next Thursday
night.
*
This is to be the eighth game of
the series. Of the previous seven,
the pros have won three, tied two and
lost two. .The first winning all-star
group Was coached by Qus Dorais of
Detroit in 1937, when with Sammy
Baugh passing, they defeated Green
Bay 7 to 0. Bo McMillan followed
Boraia into the victory column the
next year when his all-star team won
from Washington 28 to 16.
' 9 ?
With all due respect to Snavely and
his famous Cornell brand of football,
well fctrMf -with the B?ws"?nd
believe the score will be of a generous
margin.

If you have a vacant rbom in your
home which you would like to rent
during October and November, list it
with the Chamber of Commerce at
once. The war maneuvers will bring
many sightseers to Camden during
those months and many rooms are
going to be required to accommodate
them. . V J 4 . . :*

Called on Hoot Mon Donald the
other night and it sure did my heart
good to see this line friend get up
and walk about the room.
Many Camden and Kershaw county
folks will mourn the death of Jim
taw. Jim, who Whs the county coroner,
was a likeable fellow and we always
found, him with a hearty handclasp
and cheery smile.

Noticed that over in Columbia, in
Charlotte and some other places in
the midsouth the municipal authorities
are going after the motorist who
resort to horn blowing when theire
is no occasion for it. The restrictions
also cover exhAusts on motors being
open. Man! Oh Man! why not some
kthd of regulation like that in Camden.
We've lived in the midwest, the
north and the south, but we never
heard such a hideous racket as is in (
evidence in Camden?due,; to some
lame brains who sit on the horn button.
And speaking of open exhaust?
well, the police motorcycle doesn't offer
any funeral quiet. i
Sitting in the office last Tuesday, ,
praying for a wee bit of cool wind to
waft through our open window we
got to thinking about various things.
When an automobile whizzed past
with the horn playing that cute llttW
ditty "Toodee-doe- dee", we had a ;
brilliant inspiration.
Why not a music playing horn, for H
motor vehicles. For instance John
Villeplgue could equip his coal trucks
with a horn that would play "Keep
The Home Fires Burning". Or Reed
Sarratt of the city laundry could have
his trucks equipped with a horn that
would play "This Is The Way We
Wash Our Clothes".
Well anyhow,: 1 dropped in on pea
Morrison and told him about my idea
and Don volunteered the suggestion
that it really was something wonderful.
< "Why Skipper" ses he, take a
baby food manufacturer. He could
have tracks with horns playing RbokA-Bye-Baby;
airlines could use horns
playing "Sofe O'er The Mountains",
a dog biscuit outfit could use "Old
Dog Tray"; Lee Maysjjver at the
Western Union could hSWTh horn on
his car playing "Old FoU^e At Home"
and that Plymouth of Henry Camson
would have a horn' playing "Pennies
From Htnrran".

New Autry Hit

In New Mix-Up
Republic has utilized the pressing
need for conservation of our soil and
natural resources for the background
of "Sunset in Wyoming", it's current
Gene Autry starring western, which
opens at the Haiglttr Theatre Monday
where it will remain for two days.
Autry, as a conscientious young
cowboy, is distressed by* the depredatlons
committed by the Wentworth
Lumber Company, which is stripping
tho top of Mount Warner without
plantin'g new trees for replacement.
An a result, the rarithers below are
washed out during the rains, and
Gene, as their spokesman and ringleader,
undertakes the task of perevading
the Wevtwotth officials to
change their tactics. Gene
meets with a curious problem
when he at last faces old Asa Wentworth.
Asa is actually on Gene's
side; he realizes that reforestation is
necessary and essential; however, in
any attempt to change the policies of
Larry Drew, his general manager ,he
will clash with his beautiful, imperious
granddaughter, Blllle, who believes
herself in love with Drew. And
by opposing Drew, he will Inevitably
drive Billte into an elopement with
him.
Thus, he appears outwardly to op*
pose Gene's efforts, but he is secretly
in league with the boys, and the
action that ensues therefrom provides
most entertaining screen fare.

History of Quaker Cemetery
o (Continued)
((By Sadie K. vouTrenckow)
From two interesting old papers,
lAxe Camden Confederate of March
13. No. 26, and Friday. April 17, 1863,
Vol. 11?J. T. Herahman. Editor, (lent
author by Mrs. Mary Johnsou Jones)
we lenrn that by order of Council?11.
M. Kennedy, Recorder, the following:
"AJ1 parties interested are hereby requested
not to lay oft any lots tu the
cemetery on the uew ground north of
the gateway without permission of the
Council'until the ground* ?uro properly1
laid off, which will be done as- soon as
possible. " And "That the work is
being vigorously prosecuted under the
intelligent aud active direction of Mr.
Crammond." "It is a labor of loving
hands adorning aud beautifying that
city of the dead in which all are Interested
by the fondest aud strongest
tie. R. M. Kennedy will receive all
contributions for that noble work."
As usual, from the remainder of the
article, it would seem that many subscribers
had failed to redeem their
pledges and were being "politely"
urged to do so.
Crammond was the noted British
landscape gardener and horticulturist
whom Robert M. Kennedy had engaged
to come to Camden to lay off
his garden, extending from the grammar
school grounds to the Methodist
church on Lyttleton street and the
same distance on Fair street. Crammond
also laid out the gardens of
Mr. Anthony Kennedy on North
Broad Street and several others in
Camden. The "avenues" in the cemetery
were named Quaker, Pine,
Magnolia, Holly, Kim, Cfcdar, Cypress,
and Memorial, the latter being the
' avenue on which stood the Memorial
' Oak under which the stand was erect1
ed for Memorial Day services. A portion
of thia lot was given to the U.
D. C. when they erected the monu.
went to Richard Ktrkland and where
later the monument to Hobson Hilton
was placed. Last year the lot was,
with the consent of the U. D. C. and
the Cemetery Association, enclosed by
' a handsome coping; the gift of the
American Legion, Loroy Belk Post.
Quaker Avenue is circular and encloses
the old burying ground. In
former yearfe, these avenues were
plainly marked and it Is hoped the
present Cemetery Association will revive
this practice.
On an old plat dated November
18*75, mado by Fred Hay, surveyor, a
"Strangers' Lot" is laid out near the
gate to the left?and the right to be
buried therein had to be decided by a
majority of the members of the Cemetery
Association,
Formerly there was a deep drainage
ditch In front of the cemetery on
Campbell Street spanned by a bridge.
The wrought iron gates now on right
and left stdes of the wooden gate lu
center of the entrance were the gift
of Thomas Henry Clark (1840-1890),
affectionately known us "Hal Clarke",
and were presented to the Cemetery
Association when he moved from hjs
plantation "Green Hill", over the Wateree
river to practico Jaw in Camden.
They were affixed to two largo
graulte posts and were hauled over
intact and for years formed the entrance
to the Cemotery. Incidentally,
the deed of 1915 of the City of Camden
to the Cemetery Association also
gave the latter the right to occupy,
use and enclose those portions of
Wateree, Church, and Campbell
Streets bounding the premises conveyed.
There are many historic and interesting
graves |n our old Burying
Ground. These deserve a special
article, but we cannot refrain from
mentioning one of the oldest?that of
the first white person born in Camden:
Samuel Mathls, son of Daniel
and Sophia Mathls, born ?2ud March,
1760, died 26th September, 1823, aged
63 years, 6 months, 4 days?according
to the inscription on his tombstone.
And the following epitaph: "Naturally
active and enterprising, and living
in ail age of extraordinary events
and revolution, he passed through
many chequered scones which taught
him this important truth: "That all
is vanity which is not honest and that
there is no solid wisdom but in early
piety 1"
