(Continued from page one)
•‘Whereas, Kershaw county hav
ing always fulflllsd its community
responsibilities, it is assumed that
the county will not ignore its ob
ligation to provide adequate hos
pital facilities (or its people, which
will inevitably mean that from the
people of this county will have to
come, through taxation or other
wise. the necessary funds to meet
the future hospital requirements of
the county; and.
‘‘Whereas, the needed expansion
as reported in the survey of the
South Carolina Research and De
velopment board probably errs on
the conservative side, in view of
the prospective industrial develop
ment of the county, which means
that the need of the ‘county (or
additional hospital facilities will
probably be greater than is at pres
ent anticipated; and,
"Whereas,. the legislative delega
tion of Kershaw coiibty has indi
cated Its preierence to the Camden
hospital as a memorial for the
men and women of Kershaw coun
ty for their services in the two re
cent World War# by including in
the act creating a Memorial com
mission (or Kershaw county special
provisions to enable the selection
of the Camden hospital as a subject

appropriated for the memorial, and,
finally,
“Whereas, the memorial dedi
cated to the relief of suffering and
restoration of health to our fellow
citizens would conetitnte a most
appropriate memorial, especially to
those whb suffered and died for
the relief of humanity, and would
constitute a vital and ever-giving
contribution to our people;
"Now, therefore, the board of di
rectors of the Camden hospital does
respectfully petition the memorial
commission for Kershaw county to
tentatively name improvements
and additions to the Camden hos
pital as the subject of their pro
posed memorial to the men and
women of Kershaw county who
served In the first and second
World Wars, and that they hold a

Authorities now recognize (hat
the Confederate stamps are a great
er field (or study than the stamps
of almost anv other nation noyj
existing, according to Dave Kohn,
of Washington, who spent the week
end in Camden with hi# sister,
Mrs. Gus Hirsch on Broad street.
Mr. Kohn, who has a most in
teresting collection of these
stamps, is always on the look out
for more of them and says that
the most valuable collections he
has seen are owned in Washington,
New York, Richmond. Marshall and
many other pigces and that many
of these stamps have come from
South Carolina families. Hnndreds
of them, he says, have libme from
Camden.
The Confederate stamps are
roost interesting to collectors be
cause they are so crude, so crjudely
cancelled, they were put to so ra.iny
uses and many ade so rare, Mr.
Kohn said. He has soine covers
where no stamps were used but the
postmaster just stamped on the let
ters "postage paid" and in some
instances just stamped the num
ber of cents paid.
Some of the most desired stamps
sre U. 8. government stamps used
in the South right after the seees'
ston wi^ their cancellation marks
on them. (Confederate or state use
of U. S. postage).
Mr. Kohn said that he wished
to urge all Kershaw county people
who have Confederate stamps not^
to lose them or allow them to be*
mntilated or destroyed, as they are
becoming more and more valuable. ( Stanley Llewellyn, of Camden,

A coroner’s jury, following an
inquest Sunday morhing at the
Kershaw county court house, found
that Doris Blaine Hayes, four-yesr-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Le
muel Hayes of Route 1. Cssatt,
came to her death when struck by
a car driven by Harold W. McBetb {
of Salina, Kansas, as she was run
ning at^ss Highway No. 1 several
miles mrth of Camden Saturday
evening. The jury held that the
accident was unavoidable.
Investigation of the affair re
vealed that the child,* who was with
her mother and listen on one side
of the highway ran across to join
her father, who was on the oUter
side. As she darted back to rejoin
her mother, she ran Into the path
of the McBeth car, going south to
ward this city.
McBeth, said to be traveling with
in the legal speed limit, stopped the
car.and picked up the unconscious
child, drove to the hospital here.
She, however, was declared dead
upon being taken into the hospital.
It was found she had a compound
fracture to the skull and multiple
abrasions of her (ace, head and
extremities.
The Hayes child is reported to
have been one of seven children In
