LEST YOU FORGET
If you have ever witnessed the sufferings of a
cancer victim you undoubtedly have done you bit to
ward the Cancer campaign, a campaign calculated to
provide means to combat the inroads of this terrible
scourge. To those of you who have been spared t||he
horror of seeing the slow agonizing death of a person
afnieted with cancer, let us appeal for your coopera
tion in the drive that is now on. ■
If you havent made your contribution to this most
worthy and humane project, do so now.
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.

U.D. C. Notes .
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.
