Mayor WiU Get
Tough With Those
Firing Explosives
Instructs Police To Arrest All
Offenders nd See That
They Get Limit
It’s going to be tough for the boy
or boys who are caught shooting fire
crackers in Camden.
Mayor McCorkle stated Wednesday
that the police had been notified to
make every effort to arrest the party
or partiee responsible for the shooting
of the exploelres.
"We lnten<t to make an example of
the party or parties responsible,’’ said
the mayor. "We have had many com
plaints regarding the nuisance and in
some cases the firecrackers have been
thrown on porches and up against
bouses, a serious haxariL-
"Tbwe is a city ordinance against
the sale or shooting of fire crackers
or fire works within the city limits
and I intend that this law’ be Com
plied with. Any person or persons
who have an idea that they will be
able to make Christmas an occasion
for the shooting of explosives is going
to be badly mistaken. 'There definitely
will not be any shooting of fire crack
ers or any other explosives. Violators
will receive the full penalty required
by the law.

Gil Rowland is a swell chap, but

water kettle when he started his foot-

seven sport scribes who cast the bal-

tams and upset the dope bucket by
holding them to a scoreless tie. And
those seven men placed Cheater

21 to 20 victory by Camden over
Chester?
And where did the seven wise lads
place Florence that bumped off
Georgetown which In turn had defeat

Georgetown and Olympia are both

The more one Studies the poll list,
the more need Is there for a good

And here’s another amusjing bit of

Police Blotter
Real “Who’s Who”'
In Camden Life
Blueooats Are Bearmf Down
Ob AU Traffic Violators
Ib CaBidoB
’The police "blotter” presents an In
teresting appearance these days.
"The Police Blotter” is the name
given to the record of arrests that are
made by the police department. Vic-
timli of the law enforcement officers
have their names, address, reason for
arrest and the names of arresting
officer or officers on the "blotter.”
For the past week the blotter has
shown much activity In the record of
arrests made for traffic violations.
Daily there are many names of those
who have been careless In their park
ing. In fact, the blotter has become
a sort of Who’s Who in Camden for
it carries the names of quite a num
ber of prominent motorists, who have
straddled angle lines, remained In
prohibited zones or exceeded the time
limit In restricted time sones.
The police, acordlng to Chief Alva
Rush, are.really bearing down on
traffic violators. An arrest for wrong
parking usually means |2 for the po
lice officers. In several Instances
motorists who found blue traffic tags
on their cars and disdainfully tore
them up, have found that the gentle
gesture cost them 86 instead of 82,
for the police have a stub record of
every tag and have been going after
these tearer-uppers with a little sheet
of paper known In legal circles as a
summons.

Back some four years ago when
softball was softball around these
diggins In the summer time, the Ken
dalls had on their team a slender
chap named "Monkey” Riggins. Mon
key was a pitcher and an infielder
and he also played a neat outfield.
(?ame the war and Monkey went
into the service. He was 17 years of
age. In FebnutTy, 1941, Riggins land
ed In the Pbilippnes and was station
ed at Corregldor. On May 6, 1942, he
became a prisoner df the Japs. He
was in a Jap prison camp at Oyama
for 3 1-2 years. Three weeks after
the surrender of the Japs he was
liberated.
At the time of his liberation Mem-
key weighed 98 pounds. He had been
through hell in that Jap prison camp.
He was in the. fatal Bataan march
of death. The spectre of the grim
reaper had been before him many
tlmea. For months, for over a year,
he Was believed dead by his parents
i^d friends here.
^Tuesday morning a .well built,
soldierly looking young man came
Into the sanctum of this writer. We
did not know him. Art Robinson tried
to give us a clue. Then he said "It’s
Monkey Riggins."
And It was Monkey Riggins, known
on the birth records as C. L. Riggins.
Son of Mr. and Mrs; J. J." Riggins of
Wateree vlllage. And whereas two
and a> ^f months ago he weighed
