Camden's Splendid Bportamanship
Camden's refusal to accept the ruling
of the state high school league
in a waving it the class B football
title of the state over Chester is a
nnlendld example of sportsmanship.
The iower-stato title winners Jtave
challenged Chester to play it at Columbia
on Christmas day. This is a
rather peculiar day to select for the
game but V il W(,U (f
well and eortalnly there would bo no
arguments as to the final result.
ttseems as if Camden is saving
the League from making another
mistake,onc .hat will hardly cauro
schools that have drawn way from
the organization to regard it m
favorably. On the other hand Big
Ten members doubtless congratulating
themselves on not ^avu]K..{.

An Editorial Thirty Years Ago.
(From the Files of The Chronicle)
From all parts of the country we
hear that tenants are in the worst
condition they have been for years.
The cotton crop has been sold at a
low price and their part of it has not
been sufficient to pay, for the year s
supplies, while the corn crop has been
so short as to leave . thorn without
bread for another year. In many
cases they have been stripped of their
cotton, corn and stock, and are still
in arrears. Such a condition is deplorable,
but it cannot be helped.
As long as the present system o
farming is pursued such conditions
will occur on any but the very best
crop years. The situation, however,
mav contain a blessing in disguise.
Nothing but absolute inability
make cotton will ever cure the cotton
craze, and it begins to look like such
a remedy is near at hand.
The Taxpayers' League
"The Taxpayers' League has potentialities
of great good. and. likewise,
of incalculable harm. It it l.
wisely directed by those who are sincerely
desirous of economy and betterment
in the administration of
public affairs it can be made an n
strument of good; if it is controlled
and manipulated by .off,l*-h?*.inS ,
and publicity-hungry demagogues ^
will prove destructive and disastrous.
"Unless the property owners and
the substantial business men^ of' the
State who have a direct, personal
interest in efficient and .vftvTthc
like government, co-operate with tne
movement it will be taken oer
irresponsible, self-seeking agitators
whose only purpose i. pcr.on.l pro;
fit rather than public welfare?">?
t!into office arm irom one good
job to a better paying one.
"The announced program of
Taxpayers' League is, on the whole,
ve. timely and. in existing
conditions, necessary. The succe.
of \ the movement depends upon tne
sincerity and wisdom of those who
fifhienro and direct its operation.
Therefore, it behooves those who d
sire good government and
(he growth of extravagance in al do
part mi nt" of government to
