FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1047
WILLIAM TOWNLEY REDFEARN
The career of a fine character, an outstanding
citizen, a Christian gentleman closed with the death
last Friday of Senator William T. Redfeam.
Camden and Kershaw county did well by this
Chesterfield bom citizen. For many years he did
well by Kershaw county. It is doubtful whether any
name was more familiar to the people of Kershaw
county than “Tiny” Redfeam of Carmden. During his
ten years as chairman of the county board of direc
tors and four years as a sUte senator he became a p^
found student of economy and community service. He
ranked high in influence. He fought the battles that
■ are the-part of political existence and he asked no
quarter. He was outstanding among the state’s civic
and political leaders. Every civic movement, city,
county or state, found generous and expert guidance
from him. ' . ^ ^
He was intensely devoted to his friends and to
the interests of his constituents. Despite his interest
and activities in business and political life, his great
est love was for his home and family.
Truly no man is more deserving o| the high re
gard with which his name will always be associated.
m ^ ■ I ■ —
WAS A QUIET PERIOD
The holiday season, which came to a close last
week, was the quietest in point of r^ord ever ex
perienced in Camden, at least, as far back as the recol
lections of old residents extends.
While other parts of the country reported trag
edy after tragedy due to uncurbed celebrations and
reckless driving on the highways. While there were
several arrests made in and around Camden for drunk-
eness, traffic accidents were a minus equation.
Usually, according to Chief of Police Alva Rush
s and Deputy Sheriff J. H. McLeod, Jr., the holiday sea
son is usually looked forward to with dread..This
year, however, the anticipated accident toll did not
materialize.
Even the firecrackers were few and far between,
a source of much satisfaction to Mayor McCorkle And
others who are working for their dehnite extinction in
the Palmetto state. ,
Camden is to be congratalated upon its safe and
sane holiday observance.
