The Columbia State and all newspaper men and citizens of South Carolina are mourning the death of Murray du.Q. Boinnoitt, city editor of The State. Camden mourns the un timely end of this fine newspaper chap for he was one Of the staunchest friehds oTthe Camden News Service and was al ways ready, to give prominence to Camden news releases. Murray was kill^ in an auto accident Sunday morning on the Camden-Columbia highway near Dent. He was with The State for 14 years, first as a state news editor, later as tele graph editor and since 1942 as city ^itor. ‘‘Murray was a man of charming manners, unfailing m *i vv courtesy and was liked by all who knew him,". .said Frank 10 F dimlV Il6r6 H. Heath of the Camden News Service. “I knew him inti mately for eight years and his death is a personal sorrow to me." Red Cross In Cheery Message UKE FATHER, UKE SON To us, the picture printed in this newspaper yesterday of Capt. EllioU Springs seeing his son, Lieut. Leroy Springs, re ceive his wings was one not to be forgotten. Captain Springs (he more recently has been a major, but somehow captain seems to fit him better) was one of the real air heroes of the First World war. No sooner than this war was declared, he volunteered for service again, despite his heavy responsibilities as one of the leading manufacturers of the country, whose mills were doing their full share of war work. Through no fault of his own he is in civvies at the ppMent moment. We hear too little about Elliott Springs. We see too little of him. He is the kind of citizen South Carolina ca^ and should, use, and we should like to see him, despite his modesty, more in the public eye. The son bears the name of his grandfather, the great industrialist, Col. Leroy Springs, who died a few years ago. With such a paternal background, and such a charming and cultured mother, Young Springs, we venture with con fidence, will be an ornament to the air wing of our service, as was his father a quarter of a century ago.—^The State, Mar. 17.

He has been-named Edwin Roger Dade. Mrs. Dade, the former Kitty McMeekln, lived in Camden where she was employed In the-U. S. Farm Security Admn. Mrs. D. A. Boykin Auxiliary Leader Quite a number of Camden people will remember Rucker Crowder, the Greensboro, N. C.. young man, who prior to going into the service, was employed at the Stogner Motor com pany garage on East DeKalb street. Rucker is a brother of Mrs. Charles H. Stogner and made many friends during his reeidence in Camden. The parents of Rucker Crowder have received a letter from the head quarters of American Red Cross In England In which the director, Claude R, Myers, tells of meeting Rucker and the enjoyment that he derived from his talk with the young man. Mr. Myers states that he asked for the address of the soldiers parents as he felt that his parents might be Interest ed in hearing about him through a third party. “Rucker in in excellent health and seems to be enjoying himself very much although, of course, be is ex ceedingly anxious for the war to end so that he can get back home.
