From Oie Duke IteiTerslty News
Service came the toBewlng release
pertaining ta Ted Marshall, Camden
boy:
“Once in a wrhlle a freshman Im

eoaehing staff as being better than
nvbtege. 'ne Blue Devil mentors felt
that way about IMc Tipton, Elmore
Hackney, Oeorge McAfee and Buddy
Luper. Therefore all four ot those
names were to Dnke’s starting line-
ops. or at least seeoad string, In their
sophomore year.
“But never since the coming of Wal
lace Wade and Eddie Cameron to
Duke had a freshssan ever crashed
the starting Blue Devil teaim|that is—
until this season. One oPthe two
yearlings who started against the
b^avy tn Duke stadium last Saturday
is Ted Marshall of Camden, S. C.
“No Duke lineman in recent yeara
ever developed quite so fast as Marsh
all. That doesn't mean that Marshall
was not a fine tackle when he enroll
ed in Duke last July. He made All-
State South Carolina hiidi school
teams last year, bat even such an
honor as that Is a long way from first
string on a major college eleven.
“Marshall started around the fourth
team for Line Coach Dumpy Hagler,
but bis talent soon came to light, and
the 180 pounder soon iforked his way
into the starting assignment for Duke
in the opening game against the T7ni
verslty of South Carolina three we^
ago.
“Marshall faced men much larger
than hlmeelf and ones with more ex-
perimiee.' But he helped open the
holes that made possible the vicious
off-tackle smashes ot the Bine Devil
tailbacks, and he aided greatly in the
two opening victories over the Game
cocks and Bogue Field’s marines.

Plans Drawn Ad Site To
Be Selected
Kterslutw CootelF Farm Womai
To RoaliM Lang Draam .
or Fbe Markat
Over a quarter of a century ago^
farm women of Kershaw conaty, un
der the gnidance of Blanche Tarrant,
who was the home demonstration
agent at the time, established what
was called a Farmer Women’s market.
Today a site is being selected, plans
have been drawh and arrangements
made to construct a modem market
building, to be known as the Kershaw
County Farm Market, just as soon as
the “all clear” haa been received from
Washington.
The first farm market, which came
World War, waa the first ot Uw kind
to be established in the United
States, if not In the world. X^e proj
ect attracted nation-wide attention
and interested parties came from all
parts of the country to observe and
then return home with enthnsiasm at
a high pitch. Today, over SS years
after the tnaugeral of the idea here,
farm markets are an Integral part af
the dally program In thousands of
communities.
The new market bulldhfg, plans for
whkdi were prepared years ago and
work upon which was halted by the
war, wiH be colonial in design and of
frame, plaster and brick conatroetion.
It will be of 88 by 48 in size and will
have a front veranda with big pilaat-
eva. two donble doors leading into
the building and will be equipped
ediately
with stalls or counters.
ftonning for the market, the

ergtkte the naad of adqQuate parking

datefliteadon to have ample facilltlea

coiauawra. .
Thn praamt farm market, located
on .^Mtchard Square and juat north of
this ^ailran Lagfon building, haa

as there have been no new develop-
menta In the strained aituation on
North Broad street for sevm'al days.
Mayor McCorkle, who did a General
Eisenhower last week by stepping
into the picture and taking over the
muddle, stated that the situation is
now “status quo.” Asked to amplify
tha t statement, he went on to ex
plain that Bornie and Andie Hinson,
who had leased the lot between the
IKMt office property snd the Chevrolet
garage would operate a, taxi head-
quartera and parking ar«a, while
other taxi affiliationa would have six
angle parking spaces on the street
in front of the Hinson area.
The mayor stated that the matter
has not been settled permanently,
which leavea plenty of opportunity for
ooDjectnre. The Conyers Uxl line
has headquarters in the vacant lot
east of the Ckmdea hotel, while the
Hinson outfit is now off the highway.

“Here Lies Burled Andrew Jackson,

Died February, 1767” was authorized.
Tbe location of the last resting
place of "Old Hickory” was not defi
nitely established until 1931. Old resi
dents at Waxhaw cemetery near the
old I'resbrterian church, pointed out
an old weather-beaten stone abont a
foot high aa marking the reatlng
place of the father of a prmident.
In 1931 a stranger arrived at the
Waxhaw cemetery In a motor car. He
carried with him a Jagged piece ot
stone which he said he had brought
from Tenneesee. He suspected that a
mate to this stone would be < found
n tbe grave of Andrew Jackson’s
father. Digging Into the grave a
section of stone was brought to light,
and (acta now record that the broken
edges ot tbe two. stones fitted to
gether exactly. It is bMieved that
Andrew Jackson, Jr., had taken a
portion of his father’a .grave stone
with him. Publicity given to the story
of the effort to locate the senior
Jackson’s grave with the idea of
erecting thereon a suitable marker,
attracted the attentimi of the Ten
nessee party, who knew of the other
section of stone.

accidents In South Carolina during
August, according to Chief of Police
Alva Rush, who bases hto statement
upon figures compiled by the state
highway department accident records

Twenty-one of the accidents oc-
enred on state highways. This shows
an increase for the same month of
1944 of ten per cent.
Thirteen i^estrians were killed
and 17 were injured, as compared
with 16 killed and 11 injured the same
month of last year. Seven of the
killed, and iivjared in Aiifust. INIi
ware tn tbe 6-14 year age group, tbe
same as for August, 1944. Forty-slx
per cent of the total deaths during
Auguqj, 1946, were pedestrians.
Six of the persons killed •were driv
ers, eight paaaengers, 13 pedeetrians,
and one bicyclist
One hundr^ and sixty persons were

possengws, 17 pedestrians, one blcy-
cUat. and tour oocnpaats of borse
drawn vehicles.
The number of drivers involved in
accidents totaled 403. Two hundred
and fifty drivers committeed one or
more violations. On wrong .side of

violation, appearing in 76 instances,
and 87 drivers in accidents were re
ported aa exceeding the lawful speed.
Fifty-four drivers wtee reported as

Report Skowu That Carolinaa
Have ’’Preferred Loca-
tiooa** For Mills
Potentialities For
Recreation Program
Strong In ^immunity
The recent announcement that
South Carolina is one of the few
preferred locations for an apparently
assured large-scale removal of textile
plants from New Ehigland and mid-
Atlantic states Into the South, should
be of much interest to tbe Camdha
and Kershaw county interests seeking
to bring new indnstrles to this area.
The planning committee of the Na
tional Paper Box Manufacturers asso
ciation is authority for the announce
ment. The survey which Eklwin S.
Dillard of Charlotte, made reports
that the textile industry is planning,
just as soon as circumstances permit,
expansions and improvements that
will require expendituree totaling
$640,000,000. which is a sizeable
amount of cash.
Great technological changes are in
the offing, these changes expected to
result from improved equipisont. a
tendency toward ipetallatlou ot mute-
TisHdu teutpUMfit aad Important other
developments.
Production in the textile Industry,
averaging some 14,000,000,000 annual
ly before the last war, will increase
St least another billion dollars. It
will be one of the mainstays of the
American economy in the post war
period.
Commenting on the tendency of thd
industry to remove pleats to the
southern states, the committee of
which Mr. Dillard is chairman, ex
plained that the reason (or smeh
moves are practical and sensible.
With all cotton products and many of
the synthetic creations, tbe new planta
would be closqr to the sources of sup
ply In tha South.
Increasea of employment in the tex
tile industry also are forecast by the
removal of war time restrictioas and
whan raw materials become more
plentiful.
Listing “signposts for prosperity”
the committee “conservatively esti
mated” needs of the textile industry
during the first five post war years.
Among these estimates are the fol
lowing: Advertising, $800,000 a month
more than normal; recreation faclll-
lies ior. employaao. A8A88A00; auto-
matie and fiOUr 'machtiiiery. ISO.OOO.OOP*
in 1948 and $10,000,000 annuiUly there
after; buildings, new construction
and remodeling, $200,000,000 In 1946
and $30,000,000 annually thereafter;
cash registers. 12.000; typewriters,
16,000 to 18,000; furniture, $9,000,000

That Camden haa every possibility
or a wonderful program tor the un
derprivileged children is tbe state
meat of Miss Righton Richards, rec
reation supbi^isor here for the past
two summer pqrloda in beV report to
tbe recreation cbrnmittee.
‘The only thing lacked now is tbe
nse of some building,” mid Miss
Uebards. “Aa things clear up after
tha war It would be a wonderful
thing to buy and build on one of the
big lots te Beat Camden. We did
evarythteg hnmaaly possible for the
program but it was greatly handl
capped by the lack of a place to
gather for certain quiet terms of
training neoaasary to tedueteg good
citlsenshte Meals.
“It is almost necessary,*’ she ooDr
teues. “te any racraatkm program to
have a ocutral tethering place. This
should be a bovse because of the
summer beat and rates. The recrea
tion committee and director made
every effort to secure such a place
but because of tha houateg shortage
were unaUo te do so. We used the
fair grounds at ffarut hot tha tin roof
made that impoaalblo so wa resorted
to big porches, trees aad yards.
“The work bus been a plaaaura to
me, especially my aaooclatkm with
thd membars of ihe committee, the

down the streets Camden. I hope
that this program will not be permib

The long debated routing of South
Carolina’s highways in the interstate
system may be disposed of when the
state highway commission meets at
Columbia on Thorsday, Oct. 18.
Chief Highway Cammissioner J. S.
Williamson said last week that the
public road admteistrafcton was awaltr
ng oommisaioB approval of the state's
tentative supsr highway plan which
was snbmitt^ to tea PRA last June.
Slnea then many otUes nd counties,
imden and Bmbaw being on the
list, have reglslired yevIslofBs te tea
oririnul plan.
The chief coinmisstonm’ said that
the interstate system would ttndoa^^
edly come np (or diacnsslon at the
meeting next week. „
“I hesitate to say Just what (tispo-
sltfcm will be made bat 1 hope teat
the program will be decided upon and
disposed of,” be said.
It is of some tetersst hare to know
that interstate htgnways will not pass
through Che centra port of any city.
The federal plan hi to by-pass dUss
in the construction of the new high

should Highway 621 be adopted, it Is
not believed ktet Broad sttuet vriU bo
