The Wateree Messenger j < : Published Every Wednesday by CHAS. W. B1KCHMORE, Prop. ? ' i Entered as Second Class- Matter at the Postoffice at Camden, S. C. Subscription $1.50 A Year in Advance Wednesday, October 6, 1032 SPORTSMANSHIP The thing that distinguishes a genuine spof-taman from a 'bum sport' is that those who have the spirit of sportsmanship not only know how to win gracefully, but how to lose uncomplaingly. The diffe re nee between a genuine sportsmar, and the other kind is that your real sportsman never tries to shift the responsibility for his failure up J; somebody else. We have long1 believed that the j sporting attitude toward life is the , soundest of all philosophies of living. | Try your boat to win, but if you lose j don't be too quick to blame somebody J else for your failure. Nine time? j out of ten, people get whatever re wards their individual ability, char acter and industry entitle them to. But it is our observation, also, thai about nine times out of tc.. the man who fails is ready to lay the blamt upon the Government, or the capita lists, or the boss, or anybody eise but himself. True sportsmanship does not i!K ply taking defeat lying down. The true sportsman never knows when he is licked. He never accepts de feat as final, but continues to strive to the end of the game. He observes the rules of the game rigidly. If he doesn't like them, he may try to have them changed, but so long as the rules are as they are, he follows them. We hear a great deal ?f whin in;, in these days of depression, but ev ery little while we run across a r 5'porttsman, who hasn't let circum stances lick him, but is starting ouV afresh to try to win the game life. To every such man we take off our hat. Fir?t Street Lighting In the year 1414, the city of London Introduced street lighting by ordering every house and shop owner on cer tain streets to hang out a lantern at Bunset. WELL-TO-DO CANDIDATES George Washington was tht wealthiest man in the United States , when he was elected President in j 1788. A good many othe<r Presidents i have been men of considerable means, and a good many of them have been poor men. Theodore Roosevelt probably had the largest personal fortune of any President since Washington, when he entered the White House. President Hoover at the beginning of the war was worth several million dollars, but had spent a great deal of his capital in Belgian relief work and other .philanthropies, and lost more of it through unfortunate investiments, before he became President according to the interesting an<l expensive magazine called 'Fortune', which sells for $1 a co<py. Mr. Hoover started in life wi. nothing and was making, $100,001 a year as a mining engineer when he was thirty, according to Fortune, which estimates that ho was worth something over $4, 000, 000 in 1914 and now has left about $700,000, mostly invested in bonds, which brinn i him an income of about $35,000 a year apart from his salary. Franklin I). Roosevelt, the Demo cratic candidate for President, has an income of about $17,500 a year apart from his salary as Governor of New York, says Fortune. About $12,f)(K of this is from investments made by himself and his wife of money which they inherited. Governor Roose velt's magnificent homo at Hydv Park, New York, is owned by his mother, who is estimated to be worth about half a million dollars. Both of the candidates- for Vice President are also well-to-do. Both Mr. Curtis and Mr. Gamer have been the architeittcs of their own fortunes. We do not see that it makes much difference whether a Presidential candidate is rich or poor. Even Norman Thomas, the Socialist candi date, who presumably represents the poor, married a considerable fortune. Perhaps, on the whole, the country in better served by putting in office won who do not need the jobs, but Who are economically independent And able to devote their livers to public service. f Net LAmm? ?# Harvard , "tattle of John Harvard, on the Harvard campus, l? not a likeness of the original John Harvard, the found ?t ?f Harvard coltegft It wan posed for bt a Harvard ondergrndliate. ? * ?

A STRONG RIGHT ARM Stung by his taunt, Jesus' accusers hesitated when he told them by what authority he had driven the money changers from the Temple, and in their moment of hesitation were lost. The soldiers turned their backs; it was nothing thstt they oared about. But the crowc^ burat forth in a mighty cheer and rushing forward bore him out of the Templie, tih<.l priests and the money -changers scurrying before him. That night his action wa?3 the talk <xf the town. It is a very familiar story, much preached upon and pictured. But j almost invariably the pictures show j Jesus with a halo around hi3 head, I as though that was the explanation j of his triumph. The truth is 30 j much simpler and more impressive. | There was, in his eyes, a flaming I moral purpose; and greed and op | pression have always shriveled be fore such fire. But with the majesty of Jesus' 1 glance there was something else j which counted powerfully in his ? favor. As his right arm rose and 1 fell, striking its blows with that little I whip, the sleeve dropped back to re ; veal muscles as hard an iron. No ' one who watched hin. in action had any doubt th?t he was fully capable 1 of taking care of himself. No flabby priest or money-changer 1 cared to try conclusions with that 1 1 arm. .... I Thiers are those to whom it will seem almost irreverent to suggest that Jesus was physically strong. They think of him as a voice, a pres ence, a spirit; they ruevei' feel the i-ich contagion of his laughter, nor The most famous bar in the world and what is often described as the longest bar anywhere is in the Amer | ican Club in Shanghai.

There was no soft bed for hi; mother on the night he entered the world. He was brought forth in a stable, amid animals and the ani mal like men who tended them. When Jesus was still an infant the family hurried away into Egypt '.On the long trip back, some year; later, he was judged old enough t< walk, for there were younger child ren; and so, day after day, h< trudged beside the little donkey, a hard life. Early in his boyhood Jesus, as th" eldest son, went into the family cur penter shop. The practise of car pentry was no easy business ir. those simpler days. Ek>i?btles3 th< man who took a contract for a house assumed responsibilities for digginp into the rou^h hillside for it? foundations; for felling trees in the forest, and shapSng them with an adze. In after years those who listened to the talk of Jesus by the Sea .">f Galilee, and heard him speak of the 'man who built his house upon a rock' had no doubt that he knew what he was talking about. Somt of thean had seen him bending his strong clean shoulHor*. *o deliver nearvy blows. So he 'waxed strong' as the narra tive tells, us ? a phrase which ha? rather been buried under Jhe too frequent repetition of the 'meek anc lowly' and 'the lamb'. Next Wcekf Ai iCareer Opens Up.

But there's another site to Camden town. It is an old town, arid the scene of many stirring ovents. Irish Quakers were the first settlers in 1733 when it was known as Pine Tree Hill. In 1708, its name was changed to Carrfcfen in honor of Lord Camden, a friend of the colonies. Here was fought the Battle of Camden in 1780. In the lower part of the town, remains of an old British fort and earth-works may still be seen. In the quaint old Presbyter ian churchyard, Baron DeKalb, kilter] in this battle, lies buried. General Lafayette laid tho cornerstone of th<' monument when he visited the city in lH2f>, ami planted the cedar in front of the ancient court-house. Another interesting grave is in tho old Quaker burying ground. A romance is quickly brought to miml as you read the inscription: 'Agne< Scotland'. I/oeal tradition stays that Agnes was Ix>rd Cornrwallls' sweet heart, who followed him here at the time of the Battle of Camden. It seems that she died soon after her arrival, and her identity was never established. ' Have you Renewed your Subscrip tion to Tho Mettnenicer?

But remember that the high medical endorsement given Bayer Aspirin does not apply to all tablets for relief of pain. TM1 DOCTOR is careful to q>ecify Bayer Aspirin for these important reasons: It has no injurious ingredients. Mo coarse particles to irritate throat or stomach. Nothing to upeet the system. Not even any disagreeable taste. The Bayer process insures a pure, uniform product. INSIST on the tablet you know to bf safe. And the one that has spetA.

Moore ha* been Secretary of the South Carolina State Fair, which will be held this year October 17-22, he has emphasized school day with result that Friday has grown to be the second biggest event of the Fair. All school children are ad mitted to the grounds free and from all parts of the State they come to get a bird's eye view of the Great I State in which they live. Some schools come as a whole, many send .'rus loads, and thousands come with their parents. No identification card's are necessiaVy, simply the child must be of school age. 'Already we know, Mr. Moore said that many schools that have come !n years past are coming a/?ain, and we are delighted to have them. The more, the merrier. But I want to issue an especial invitation to thoso schools that have not gotten in on this good tjiing and urge the Trus tees and Teachers now to make ar rangement" to bring the children here for that day. The children are given right-a-way on the grounds. There wiill be a fine high scihool foot ball game. The Midway will be in full blast. Bands will Play, and I everything will be done to makp it & day never to be forgotten. The State Fair believes that unless it educates ? has its part in the up building of the State ? it has failed in an important function, a,nd it be lieves that any school child will ben efit more from a visit to our Fair j Capital Oity, Friday October 21 an l a visit to our State Fair than if he were in school that day. It is a great chance for the child to go back to his or her books realizing what a I wonderful place South Carolina is; a chance to get a broader oufclook. i So we hope that our invitation will | lx? accepted. Lt is given in in good I faith, and we will be looking for the Kiddies. Ask those who onmn last i year." ADMINISTRATION State of South Carolina, County o<f Kershaw. Hy L. R .
