He saw the seed of grain buried in the earth and Its resurrec tion in the full ear.”—Papinl, author of Life Of Christ No Miracle Motor Drivers Foiiiid[H«ie Camden Winter Cokmiata Came By Way of Choo-Chotte.

Stogner Broad Street By only a stretch of imagination can Camden winter colonists who sre ht their winter homes here for the season, be styled “Miracle Motorists.” Tho name "Miracle Motorists” was applied to tourists in Florida because of the way they could stretch "A” gasoline ration into lengthy sightsee ing tours and daily pilgrimages to race tracks and night clubs. Florida citizens solemnly declared, that these motorists were able to get "1,000 miles to the gsUon." • Th^ northern people in Camden came from their northern homes by the Seaboard Railway, and at the close of the season, will return by the same means. " I The situation in Florida is a serious one for thousands of tourists who "Biotored to the Sunshine State. Rationing officials In Florida gave them a determined "no” when these vacationing motorists applied for ex tra ration allotments so they could drive home. The Florida raUoning officials declared the extra allotments ^must come from home town boards, ithat they, the Florida offices, have :no authority to Issue the extra allot ments. I This determination resulted In the I State Senate of Rhode Island passing a resolution characterizing the Florida ration boards with exercising a 1 "squeeze play,” with a view of forcing nothern motorists to sell their cars at 'a loss. The Florida ration administra tors declared the Rhode Island resolu tion to being a "bunch of foolishness.” They also stated that they would like to bear of an investigation in Rhode Island of the manner in which mo torists got gasoline for vacations In the first place. In the meantime, railroads operating ont of Florida to the north report their freight cars are hauling gasless gas buggies northward. Here In Camden the squeese of gasoline allowance is being felt. Many motorists who have been using "C” coupons found that when they went t for renewal of their coupons that th«j I had been reduced materially.

The third meeting, a state title affair, found the Bantams outplaying Sumtm* In every phase of the game. Camden Highs went into the semi finals Friday night, meeting the Sum ter Highs for-the Uiird time this sea son. Camden won the first game of the series here but lost the second at Sumter. In the game last FYiday night the Bulldogs were outlucked. But they put on a last quarter rally that had the Sumter coach and fans almost on the verge of ap](oplexy. Camden took an early lead In the game but SumtMr spurted and at half time led 21 to 14. The third quarter was even but in the final quarter Cox and Wilson of Camden found the taget and wJth^'thh Bdlldog guards holding the Gamecocks to a lone goal the Camden team were sinking them from all angles and had closed the wide gap to a-two point margin when the gun ended the game. Cooper of Cam den, was high scorer with 14 points. In the opening gkme Thursday night Camden gave Rock Hill a neat going over 83 to 19. The first half was fairly even but in the second half Camden made it a runaway. In other games of the tournament Sumter eliminated Sumerton In the first night’s game.
