The cordial wel come that has been given me on every hand convinces me that these friends knew w'hat they were talking about. T have come here to be a part of the town and county.

I have a feeling'that great things are in store for it and that a great era is about to dawn for ih If I can be of any service in helping to bring this about I shall be very happy. HAROLD C. BOOKER. A VERY COMMENDABLE PROJECT Announcement that the new steel fence sur- ' rounding the north end west sides of the Kershaw county fair grounds will be beautified will be re ceived with very genuine pleasure on all sides and it is to be hoped that there will be a generous response on the part of the public to the request for the dona tion of cuttings. The area around the fair grounds can be made most attractive if the committee which is appointed to carry out the proj^t is given wholehearted sup port Tliere are many visitors to' Camden who come here for football games and the fair and other events held at the fair grounds who do not see much else of Camden. The beautification of this area will make ^em form a most favorable impression of the city and fill them with a desire to see more of it. . BUILDING MEN In a sermon to the football squad of the Camden High School last Sunday night Rev. O. F. Mont gomery, pastor of the First Baptist church, stressed the fact that while all Camden is proud of the fact that the high school has a winning team, it is even prouder of the fact that it has a clean team, one that does not play dirty football. In this respect as well as in its winning qualities the present team is living up to Camden tradition. Camden teams have always been noted for their splendid sportsmanship. They have demonstrated that a team does not have to play dirty football in order to Vrin games. It is good to know that a Camden High product, one of which the town is justly proud has been carry ing on in the true Camden tradition. Hugh Cox, who played brilliantly for Camden High and later for the University of North Carolina, is now coach of the Tarlboro High School football squad and the Daily Southerner of Tarboro took occasion the other day to pay him a very high and deserved compliment. In an editoftal the Tarboro paper said : ‘Today the Daily Southerner will caat aside its custom of not meptioninK persons by name in its editorial columns and pause to pay tribute to Coach Hugh Cox of the Tarboro High School eleren, one football mentor who places the building of men above winning football games. “Ehirly in last night’s encounter, a Tarboro player was ejecied for what was termed unsportsmanll&e conduct, or In other words }ust plain cussing. At half time the Tarboro coach delivered the usual football oration, pausing to reflect on individual players. But be also took considerable time to demonstrate with his team cn their attitude on the field, warning them ‘the next man who swears on the field will be.,tossed off the team'. “And the local mentar wasn’t Just bluffing. Earlier this season ho dropped a man who broke training rules, a man who meant, a great deal to the chances of the team. Yes Coach Cox realises the real importance behind high school athletic teams lies in the build ing of character, the building of wholesome citizens, the building of Christian men, able to meet the challenge of the world without flinching, without wavering. “He is to be commended for his actions. In these days when football ranks first on most college agendas and schola.stic ability, all too often, ranks second, the coach who brandishes a high code of ethics is indeed hard to find. To that man should go the plaudits of the mob, the praise of the sporting public. In that man is found that rare gift, true sportsman blood. “There is an old saying, whose author we’ve forgotten, which includes these words, ‘When the Great Scorer comes. He’ll count not the games we’ve won or lost, but how we played the gAiiie’. All too often most of us are so intent upon winning that we forget all about a cod^ of ethics. When we lose we are hard losers. We give no quarter during the game and we concede none after the final whistle has blown. “Athletics, particularly those played In high school, are meant to build that competitive spirit, but at the same time also f*ve root to the backbone that builds real men. A business man who reaches success through hard work is one of whom we can all be proud. But a man who reaches success at the expense of his neighbor, his friend is one to be scorned. To clinb fh the heights of success by stepping on others is to compare a thief with a practicing Christian. “FYonr little episodes like warning against cussing on a foot ball field are built great men. Those who abide by the rules are the best players. Those who insist upon that code are the best leaders. Yes, Tarboro can indeed be proud of iu Coach Hugh Cox. a builder of men.” And Camden, likewise, can be proud of Hugh Cox and proud of the fact that Camden football play ers are generally noted for their fine sportsmanship, something that is instilled into ^em in their high sehool. JAYCES HAVE GONE A LONG WAY The Jayces have added much to the City of Camden. One of the latest additions is the huge welcome sign to the City of Camden. This billboard is con- s^cted just this side of the overhead bridge. It is quite an attractive piece of work and adds much to entrance of the city. The organization was again successful in the Santa Claus parade which they brought to town last year. This was such a successfur project that it is being sponsored again this season by the Junior Chamber of Commeree. ^ .AUibe present time the jmmben this^oung erganlzation are being instrumental in promoting a dty management plan. The Junior Chamber of Com merce has done well—Wt with them success in all Pfe. Daniel West Attends Football Game In Tokyo Pfc. David L.
