APPRECIATION Camden residents who have phone service have not encountered any difficulty in having local service maintained..They did feel the effects of the telephone strike in the failure to get through long distance calls. The maintenance of service in Camden was and is due to a group of operators who have not as yet ex perienced the taint of unionism. They did not have -to take orders from union leaders, usually men of for eign birth. A northern resident of charm and influence, call ed this office to suggest that the telephone public ex press their appreciation for the service, rendered by the operators of the local exchange in a substantial way. It’s a good idea and we hope that the plan is car ried out. “ Orchids to the Camden telephone exchange staff. MILUONS SQUANDERED By hills is meant the liquor business. The Journal, of the House and the Journal of the Senate shows that licensed liquor dealers In Kerahaw county sold 12,569 cases of alcoholic liqhor in 1946. Assuming there are 24 quarts to the case, this would be a total of nearly 802,000 quarts. At $4 a quart—or fifth—^the cost to the consumer aggregates $1,205,664. ^ No matter from which way you look at it^that is ~ one big pile of money to be spent in Kershaw county for something that is ABSOLUTELY UNESSENTIAL. And going farther — remember that this more than a million dollars was spent for “legal' liquor. The amount spent for beer, wine and bootleg liquor will run into a fancy figure. We venture tp say the total would reach nearly two million dollars. Have you ever stopped to think what this amount of money would do in providing for worthwhile things —something that would be educational and inspira tional. More paved streets, a large addition to the (hos pital, a community building, new city hall, police sta tion, neiw high school and many other things. IS MOST COMMENDABLE The recent fat stock show, cojiducted by the members of the FFA and 4-H clubs under the spon sorship of the Camden and Kershaw county Chamber of Commerce was a most commendable effort. Some twenty-six fine calves, representing as many FFA and 4-H groups paraded through the business district of Camden and thence to the fair grounds where they were subjected to the scrutiny of the judges. The show attracted the attention of many hundreds of farmers and citizens and in our opinion presages an annual event of ever increasing importance and interest. The Chamber of Commerce should have the strong support and cooperation of every thinking resident of the coqnty. Just Arrived ... Shipments of — %216 lb. Asphalt Strip Shingles ■ • 90 lb.

The UDC, formed September 10, 1894, in Nashville, Tenn., is na tional in scope and also has chap ters in foreign lands. The alms are the preservation of records, the truths of Confede rate history and education. At first i ts objective' was also benevolent, very necessary when so many were eft In destitution and ' homeless during the war. Then erecting of monuibents, markers and tablets became Important. The Jefferson Davis monument in Richmond cost 170,000, others erected were In Arlington National cemetery and The Shilcdi monument, a memorial ■window to the Women of the South n the Red Cross buHding in Wash- ng.ton. The South Carolina .CPC erected the Wade Hampton statue n Washington. The marking of the Jefferson Dsvis highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific was a Na tional undertaking and the Boulder it) Hampton Park, Camden, Is one of the land marks.: The lovely crepe myrtle trees are also me mentoes. Hundreds of unfrahlished manuscripts of the War Between the States havg been placed in the Confederate museum in Rich mond, Va., and thousands of books, diaries and papers have been col- ected. Loan scholarships assisted thou sands of boys and girls through ,colleges and are still available. In both World Wars the work of the Daughters has been outstanding, and blood plasma funds collected were noteworthy. Today the South Carolina Daugh ters are deeply interested 'in the continued restoration of Port Miil, the home 'Of John C. Calhoun at Clemson and the restoration of Oakley Park in Edgefield, the lome of Major General Martin W. Gary, erected in 1836. Governor John Gary Evans, nephew of the general, inherited the property and deeded It to Eklgetleld to be en trusted to the care of the UDC chapter, as the small chapter could not do much alone. The Daughters of the state were requestde to as: slst and have undertaken this work as a part of their state work. The John D. Kennedy chapter has taken part In all of this fine program t>e8ides accomplishing much in local fields. South Carolina was the first state in the union to erect a monu ment to Its women. In 1912 the men of the state erected the beau tiful statuary monument to the Worn^en of the Confederacy in the State House grounds.
