Speneer Passes Suddenly GOOD CAMDEN NEWS The story on the front page of The State last week chronicling that the Kirkwood property had been bought and that a new, modem tourist hotel was to be erected is good news not only to Camden but to all South Carolina. Whatever helps one locality helps the entire state. Camden has spent too many years building up its repu tation as a resort to allow its winter business to decline be cause of inadequate facilities. But with the closing first of the Hobkirk and later of the Kirkwood, the tourist future seemed gloomy until the present announcement. The hos pitable center^s winter residents who own their own homes or rent for the season have continued to come to Camden, but without sufficient hotel accommodations, many visitors wishing to pass only a few days or weeks or perhaps the entire winter have no option but to go elsewhere. Camden, of course, doesn’t wish to develop as a tourist center only. Quite rightly it has its eyes on commercial progress, too. But there is no reason why the Kershaw county seat shouldn’t grow in both directions.—^The State. The funerel of Mrt. CUreadon R. Speocer, w^o died tnddealy at iMr home in Ridseway Sunday moraine was held from tha Ahnwell Preaby- terian church at Ridgeway Monday afternoon at 4 p'l^oclt,: wtth intenuent following in the Quaker cematery here. | Mrs. Spencer was Miss Jessie An. crum of Camden, 'before her marriage to Mr. Spencer, then connected with the city schools of Camden. Their marriage took place at the' Presby terian church of Camden. She was the last of her generation and had a large connection with many families of South Carolina, .including the Boy kins. Canteys, Johnstons sad DeSaus- sures. She was bom the last year of the War Between the States on No- rember 14, 1846 in Camden, the daugh ter of Col. Thomas J. Ancrum and Margaret Dongles Ancrum, descend ants of the early settlers of vCamden. She is snryiTed by four sons. C. Rivers Spencer and Charles Holmes Spencer of Ridgeway; Thomas An crum Spencer of Chattem, N. J., and Captain Douglas Ancrum Spencer, U. S. Navy, npw it^ the South Pacific.

Branham, 76, Dies In Hospital WOULD BE A BOON Among the innovations promised for the post-wdr is a glass that lets in light but not heat. It is believed that ^he new product may be used for “sun windows” in homes for summertime use when the storm windows are taken down. Such glass would tend to keep house^i much cooler than is possible with present day glass. Another possible use for the glass Is in automobile'win- dows ahd windshields. This would be a boon to autoists who hiust park their cars in the summer sun and lock them up, returning later to find them feeling as if a leg of lamb could be roast^ on the dashboard. To complete the job of keeping closed cars cooled non-conducting metal for the hood and top* would be next on the list. We believe such improvements are being studied.—The State. T. P.
