the police are doing a lot of wonder

Chief Rush is accepting the affair
with nonchalance. In fact, he laughs
heartily when the subject is men
tioned. He says in ail truth that Cam-
dwi just^ doesn’t have any escape-
proof Jail. He says it does not take
the skill of a Houdini to get out of it.
As a matter of <fact the chief was
not at all reluctant to explain to a
reporter that three weeks before the
present Jail delivery two soldiers
were put In the clink on a charge of
being drunk. They broke the lock
and disappeared. A few nights after
that a chap arrested on a charge of
being drunk and disorderly had almost
taken a door apart, but when he
stuck his head through the opteolng
he had made, he was seen and the
police notified and the man was
whisked away to the county Jail,
which really ^Is eecape-proof. Later
two more soldiers, arrested for being
overly Jubilant, completed the wreck-

with the wind.
Mayor McCorkle has been taking
considerable ribbing over the Jail
situation In Camden. He says that
Just as soon as circumstances permit,
an application for public funds will
be made, to be used for ^e construc
tion of a new -Jail.
It may be recalled that back in
the days the W. P. A. Camden had
a chanqig»to secure public money to
build a Jail. But It seems that some
folks think that what was good
enough for their forebearers Is good
enough for the present crop of cele
brants and offenders. So no Jail was
built
- The police chief says that the young
man and wqman who escaped will be
taken into custody—at least—if the
city wants them to be picked up. But
they have been such a source of
annoyance and trouble to the police
that from the chief down, every mem
ber of the force would be glad if
they never came back.
Few persons have more than 8,000
words in their voeabnlary.

According to Chief Alva Rush, the
filling station owner is a discharged
war veteran, having served for some
years overseas. He has been taken
into custody by the FBI for reteivlng
stolen goods.
James Fred Spears. Jr, 26, operator
of a service station about one mile
from Bennettsville, was taken to Flor

FBI agrats, and charged with receiv

that these hogs had been stolen."
Chester Lee Murphy, 34-year-old
