ONE MEMBER OF
PARTY is LEFT

Those irrepressible fishermen of
Columbia, Joe Hagey, Trude Shelton
and Jake Harlan, left this afternoon
for a weeks camp and fish on In6ian
creek in Wayne county. Great sport
is expected by the party, as they say
that they have left the Jonah of the
party behind. They think that the
hard luck that has pursued them all
year will be dissipated in as much as
they managed to escape the luckless
company of the other member of the
immortal quartet.

SAN DIEGO FAIR IS

FRISCO SHOW.
NOT NEARLY so PRtTENTIOUS
The Whole Is an Architectural Gem,
Which Is Well Worth Couple OF
Days of Travellers Time to Visit to
Western Coast Of United States.
(By Reese T. Amis.)

Apart from the scenic beauties OF
the Golden West, its matchless noun
tains, its vistas of magnificent sights,
It is well worth the time and trouble
Of anyone to travel from one side OF
the American continent to the other
to see the two wonderful expositions
at San Francisco and San Diego,
which commemorate the completion
Of the great Panama canal.
Both should be seen. There Is di-
versity enough about them to enjoy
and appreciate both. One is tiny, the
other is on mammoth scale. The
San Diego fair can be seen in two
days with ease, comfort and without
worry. One can spend a month at
San Francisco in drinking in and
studying the wonderful collection OF
the Inventions and manufactures OF
the twentieth century and not grow
weary. 1t will be only superficial
and cursory view of all the exhibits
that can be gotten in week. Really,
the buildings are so large, the diver
Slty Of character of the exhibits so
great, and the points Of interest so
many that one wearies in attempting
to do them.
The San Diego fair is a gem. 1t is
Testtul place. 1t is of size that
one can grasp the whole scheme Of II,
study it, and then see it leisurcly and
with a real degree of appreciation.
The weather is so delightful that il is
worth an afternoon sitting in the
shade Of one of the quiet patios Amid
The beautiful flowers and palms and
'az-!y studying the landscape CAMDEN
Itg. It is a never ending delight and
pleasure TO the eye. It would be
worth trip to see it alone, regard

wonderful southern part of California.
for that is what the San Diego fair is

numbers on the program were:
An Grafton by Leslie Holm an
and a paper by Willard Wilson
on The Religion of Abraham Lin
coin" Miss Alicia Smith read an
excellent paper on the subject OF
Separate and Mixed Schools"
the paper was we'll prepared and
Miss Smith deserves special COM
mendation for her deliverance of
said paper. The program was a
very lengthy one and we feel
proud of our young boys and
girls in school who have the inter
est and determination to take part
in the things which stand for the
uplift and betterment of our race.
No less credit is to be given the
other participants on the program
who rccited and likewise those
who rendered excellent musical
numbers.
Among the visitors at the cult
ure Club were: Hon. S. B. Turner,
one of our Negro Representatives

Mr.. Underwood, for 4 years,

the best and fairest chief to all

before had, is a candidate for
Commissioner. Mr.. Underwood
is spoken of in the highest terms
for the manner in which he con-
Quoted the office of Superinten-
dent of Police and on that rec
ord, the people seem to think
he can and will, if nominated
and elected, make a most ex
emplary official. The office of
Chief of Police sought him and
not he the office. The Commits
sioners believed him to be
man upon whom they could
rely to discharge the duties inn
partially and treat all interests
alike, having special favorites
among none and he did SO. So
far as the discharge of his du-
ties, there has been no material
complaints for the past 4 years
therefore he can be, and is,
highly endorsed for said posi-
ton.
