Fate: For nine vears, William
rtmun, u music publisher, sought
hit song. He brought out various
umbers that were singable and
ar appealing, but the publto didn't
uv copies by the thousands. Then
King came "The Shrijne of St.
ecelis " It sounded good and Mr.
rtman published it. Searching for
iuterial for a recording session,
aughn Monroe chose the ballad,
raxed it and liking it, used it on
is various broadcasts, One night
, the midtown hotel in which Mr.
Irtman lived, there was a gun battlo
etween police and three desperate
riminals. ' Mr. Ortman happened
0 step out of his room into a coridor
right in the line of fire. A bulet
struck hinV and he was rushed to
hospital, l^ow "The Shrine of St.
ecelia" is sweeping the nation and
t last the house of Ortman has a
it. But the publisher is dead.

Silly: Some years ago, it was
'Knock, 'knock, who's there?"
yith all sorts of crazy answers. But
hat form of insanity was laid away
long with prohibition. Then came
nother era, that of "You tell 'em."
hat, too, seemingly ran its course
nd was forgotten. "You tell 'em"
iras not dead, however?it was
ierely asleep since once more
Iroadway and the rest of the town
s going batty in exactly the same
tray. Some of the "prize" ones I've
leard lately are, "You tell 'em,
utcher, you've got lots of tongue."
You tell 'em, June and don't July."
You tell 'em, roll, you've got pjeny
of crust." "You tell 'em, cigxette,
you're all lit up." "You tell
tm, baker, you're well bred." And
he very worst of all, "You tell
em, submarine, I don't seaplane."

Return: When the Nazi blitzkrieg
truck Poland, Joana and Louise
,eschin, concert duo pianists, got
iut of the country just ahead of the
nvaders. So great was their haste
a boarding the last train that their
runk, in which were Just about all
heir belongings, was left standing
in the station platform. In the
ourse of time, they reached New
fork and as days lengthened into
kreeks, weeks into months, and
nonths into years, naturally they
Dst all hope that their baggage
yould show up. Consequently their
urprise was great when last week,
he very same trunk was delivered
d them. The only clue as to where
t had been was a large label, "From
'oledo, Ohio." Only their orchesrations
were missing.
Hollywood: Muriel Angelus, Britth
belle, made a great singing hit
sveral seasons back in "The Boys
rom Syracuse." As a result, she
nfs summoned to the West coast
Dr work in motion pictures. Out
lere, she wasn't allowed to sing a
lote, but for some unaccountable
eason was given only straight dranatic
parts. Then she came back
d Broadway to star in "Sunny
liver," the Hammerstein-Romberg
nusical. And now Hollywood is
nee inore bidding f6r her services
-in straight dramatic parts.

Memento: Several weeks ago,
ack Dompsey's two little daughters
lipped up to the microphone in
is Broadway restaurant and sang
1 chorus of "I Don't Want to Set
he World on Fire." Recently, Irvng
Carroll and his orchestra celetrated
the completion of a solid
ear at Dempsey's, and Mrs. Hanah
Williams Dempsey presented
larroll with a costly platinum watch
s a memento. On the back is enraved,
"To our first accompanist;
mth love, Joan and Barbara Dempey."

End Piece: At Forty-fourth and
iroadway, a wild-looking young
nan rushed up and panted that if
le didn't get a nickel right away,
?is whole life* would be ruined. He
xplained that he'd been trying to
>atch up a quarrel with his sweetleart
from a pay station and had

were up. ' If there was any
oubt about his story, he added, I

Large amounts of sugar already have
been packaged in one-pound lots and
the waste of labor and material in
breaking the packages and rationing
half-pound lots has prompted a 2-week

Appeal Being Made
for Children's Home
(Continued from first page)
in debt. Nor has It been necessary
to borrow money for Its support. It^
is a project of community wide inter*
est and it is hoped that despite the
high taxes, the buying of defense
bonds, the need of support of the Red
Cross and other whorthwhile movements,
that there will be a small
amount left in the family treasury
to give to the continued suocesB of
the Home.
The Home is in charge of Miss
Lois Scott as matron with Mrs. Ida
Scott as assistant. A cook is employed
in the kitchen and she aids in the
nursery. The children of the Home
attend the public schools and are also
required to attend Sunday school.
Doctors of this city and Columbia
give their services without charge,
while little tots receive care at the
Camden hospital at no cost. Trained
nurses also cooperate with the Home
management in giving their services
at greatly reduced rates.
It is Interesting to learn that out
of the two hundred little tots placed
for adoption, every Instance has been
featured by success. The Home keeps
in touch with the families into which
the children are taken and reports
so far have been remarkably satisfactory.
At the present time there sre
more applications on file for children
than Mrs. Mayfleld can ever fill. The
Home today has 16 little folks, the
youngest being six weeks old.
1 The Home maintains a large garden
in which many vegetables for
home "consumption are grown. There
are two cows at the home and they
provide all the milk required for the
babies.
I The expense of operating the Home
aggregates about $4,000 a year. That
sum means a great deal to the little
lives which Mrs. Mayfleld and her
fline corps of workers are seeking
to start on the right path of life.
Are you going to help folks? Sure,
I knew you would.
Claimed To Be 113
Conway, March 7.?Stephen Joe
Floyd, who claimed to be 113 years
I old, died last week in the Green Sea
section of Horry county.
Floyd, by 'his own accounting, was
born in 1829, the year that Andrew
Jackson, the seventh president of the
United States was inaugurated. He
thus lived into the third term of
Franklin D. Roosevelt's tenure, the
nation's 32nd president.

Sherman's Forces
Destroyed Camden
**I>id General Sherman ever visit
Camden?" is a frequent Inquiry made
by tourist* at the information bureau"
of the Camden Chamber of Com-'
mereo. i
Tlia answer iau- Sherman vialled
Camden In 1866. It was with tho urrival
of this famous Union general
who was making his greatly public!*-J
ed march from Atlanta 10 the sou
that the popular^ of Camden, anticipating
the arrival of thy invading
forces, converted the Town llall iii(o
a hospital to save it front destruction.
The town records were sent for
safety into the country where, along
with vast quantities of other property
they were later captured by tho
enemy and ail books antedating 1843
were lost; those of subsequent date
recovered.
On February 24, 1865, a detachment
from Sherman s main body of troops
entered the town. Tho federals applied
tho torch to tho city In many
pluces, hut a heavy rain and the exertion
of citizens checked the progress
of destruction. The railway dopot,
the commissary, the east side of
Broa,d street from DeKalb to Rutledge,
the Masonic Lodge, the Jail,
Cornwallis's house, and grist mills
near the city, as well as a number of
other buildings were destroyed by
fire. Despite the war und presence
of federal troops in this community,'
on the first of April, 1866, Camden
held its usual spring election, nam-'
ing Ft. M. Kennedy ak Intendant,
with J. A. Young, K. B. Alexander,'
W. B. Hughson and Robert Man aS
wardens. It is Interesting to note
that the first act of the new council
was to have streets cleared of lubblsh,
brick and burnt cotton. IncendlgrleB
left by the Yankee troops
were the cause of many fires end
alarms were constant. In one of
these fires the Theological Seminary
and Its valuable library went up in
smoke.
On April 18, another invasion occurred
and this time It waB by an
army of negro troops. They broke
into the banks and stores and during
a brief stay made the time hideous
for the Inhabitants of the town. On
April 19 a small Confederate force
attacked the negro troops and forced
them to flee. On June 14 federal j
troops marchd into the city again
and this time the place was garri
Boned by Ohio volunteers under the
command of Captain C. W. Furguson.
The federals encamped at Monument
Square and the commanding
officer used the city council chamber'
as headquarters, relieving the city
council of duty and ordering military
rule.
The federal garrison guarded and
protected the town in a splendid manner,
restraining the license and depredation
of the newly liberated negroes.
On March 24, 1866, the federal
garrison was removed.
Promotions Made

The rapid expansion of I Ho A: my

Camden Youth Hero
of Pearl Harbor
All Camden In Justly proud of Ho- ,
mor Daldwin. Homer, us 27 years of
age. exemplifies all that any normal,
healthy young Amolcan could asplro
to be a w-ar hero'.
lloiuer lived in Camden a greater
part of hl.s life and his father Is now
employed In the navy yard at Charleston.
It was some seven or eight
yours Ago when Homer Huldwin was
playing football for Cumden high
school. He was Just an ordinary
American kid at that time,* but there
was something about hint that earned
him the resifect and admlratlou
of his fellow players, the coaches,
and the student.body In general--iu
fact, all acquaintances In tho community.
From far-off Honolulu comes
tho story of what happened when
llomor went on tho offensive against ....
the Japs on the morning of December
7. Homer was on duty In the
ordnance room aboard one 1 of the
battleships?the name for obvious
reasons Is not given. Suddenly the
Japs appeared and the harbor was
under a 'hell of tire from the bomb
lag planes. Homer dashed from the
ordnance room and with the aid o' a
shipmate, swung a machine gun into
action. A Jap topedo piano unloaded
Its deadly eggs upon one of the American
ships, hwuuk Into a left bank,
and headed out to sea. Homer spottod
the Jap bomber, swung the machine
gun toward It, and tripped the
firing release. A stream of bullets
crashed Into the enemy plane, riddling
the undercarriage and killing
i the pilot. It w|a deadly medicine
that Homer's weapon dished out, end
I the Japanese plane crashed Into the ^
harbor and plunged from sight.
I "Good Hunting!", said his shipmate.
This action of courage and
heroism exemplifies the spirit which
prevailed on all sides by the servioe
men on that historic date. As an act
of commendation for bravery in exposing
hiiAself under fire, Homer received
a promotion to the rank of??
Chief Petty Officer.
At last reports, Homer was still in
t Honolulu. '
