THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE B. a KILE8. .Editor and Publisher Published every Friday at No. 1109 Hroad Street and entered at the Carudon, South Carolina poatolfice aa econd alaaa mail matter. Price per annum $2.00, payable in adv.tn?*. Friday, September ."10, 1932 NEED NO MORE LOANS. I^.Ht spring the State of South Carolina was. able to borrow three and one-half million dollars with which to partly pay the teachers and to take care of the Confederate pen-rf? aions, It really waa necessary to do this and the State was fortunate in being able to borrow the money. To get the money the State had to pledge j its taxes to ho collected or hoped to bo collected, In view of present coteditions, how the State is going to re- ; pay that loan and continue to operate the schools is a problem that chal- ; lenges the most serious consideration ofjbpfrc powers that be, as0 well as that of every thoughtful person in South Carolina. The schools must be maintained, though it must be patent j to everyone>that a curtailment of the school term, an increase of the teacher load, and not a lightening, and other rigid economies must be practiced, in the operation of our schools as well as in every other department of our government. We had thought that the heyday of spending had passed and it had never ocourred to us that the way to cure evils arising from governmental extravagance was to start into another orgy of spending, hut the Governor of South Carolina seems to think differently. They were able to get the. three and one-half million dollars for the school j teachers (and they, of course, should: have been paidp, but not satisfied with that, Governor Blackwood now 1 wants to get from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation a loan of $">,-) 000,000.00 more, for road building j purposes, pledging the already over- ; burdened credit of the state for that purpose and, of course, heaping that additional burden on the shoulders of , the taxpayers. It is said that when an Indian got | tired he rested himself by picking up j tho largest weight he could carry and running with it until he fell from exhaust ion. Maybe Governor Black-1 xvoori thinks tho people of .^outh Carolina are Indians, but he forgets i that they have already been ridden to exhaustion. HUMBLE BEGINNING It is a strange human trait that in later life a man often boasts of the very things of which he was somewhat ashamed in his youth. Successful men point with pride to f their humble origins, to their early j struggles and the menial nature of their first employment. And i; is a just cause for pride to have overcome such obstacles through one's energy and dotcrminn-* tion. 1 here is no doubt that the man who has had to tight his way from the bottom i.s generally better off, hard as it may have seemed to himj while undergoing tho experience. It i> equally true than many men i fail because of a false pride which j causes them to shrink from humble tasks which might lead to ultimate success. Henry Ford was a machin-1 ist s helper. Thomas A. Edison was! a newsboy. John I). Rockefeller was a clerk, ynd neither had any early i education to apeak of. They and thousands of others succeeded because they were not ashamed to toil with their hands until something better presented itself .?Dillon Herald. Stevens to Campaign For Gov. Roosevelt Warsaw, N. Sept. 26.?Henry L. Stevens, Jr., bark home today 1 ter completing a year as national commander of the American 1/egion, announced he would campaign for the national Democratic executive committee after a short rest. Aside from a fishing trip and making a speaking tour for Governor; Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democrat- j ic presidential nominee, Steven? said his plans were indefinite. "1 am going to spend about three , weeks at my camp in Onslow county," he 'Said, "just resting up. Then! I am going to New York to report to j the Democratic national committee, j I don't know where they will send j me." Stevens said "this will probabl> take my time until after the November election. Beyond that, I havn't completed my plans." Two couples before the divorce court at Little Rock, Ark., blamed that "devil corn whiskey*' for their marriage. They testified that they were drunk when they took the vows. The annulments were granted. One chap turned to his divorced bride at the courthouse door, lit a cigarette and remarked, "Well, honey, glad to have met you." Fifty thousand people are said to have heard Franklin D. Roosevelt make a political address Saturday night at Hollywood, Gal. He closed his address with a dramatic appeal: "Give me your help," he said, with outstretched arms. "Give me your help, in the interest not only of better days, hut also of a stronger morality and a greater faith in God." An Atlanta sales manager distributing copies of a federal court injunction against violent interference with the transportation of milk, was stopped by .'JO or 10 men who had barricaded the highway and threatened to -mash his engine, if he continued. De-| spite the injunction, several trucks of milk were dumped near Gonyers by the farm holiday forces along the roads. Charlie Rutledge, street overseer of West Point, Ga., has reluctantly given up that job to take the office of mayor of the town. Ho has been mayor before and resigned to take the! street job, as it pays twice as much as does the mayor's office. Now the citizens have overwhelmingly elected him mayor again and he gives up the street job to accept the chief magistracy of West Point. At the request of Senator Broussard, recently defeated for renomination in Louisiana, the senate elections committee is to make a thorough investigation of the methods of conducting elections in that state as sponsored bv Senator fluey Long. As a result of the investigation, to be headed by Senator Tom Gonnally of Texas, Long is understood to have given up his plan for campaigning inj the west for Franklin I). Roosevelt. j Bainbridge, Ga., in 1929, ran its af-j fairs on borrowed money to the total of $29,000. An economy program was put in use and the next year it borrowed $10,000; the next year only $4,000 was borrowed. This year it has no money borrowed and is now on a cash basis, partly due to collecting its taxes on the installment plan. The dead body of James G. Haney, prohibition agent, was found in the woods near Tamarack, Minn., Snturday after he had been missing 20 hours. He had been a member of a party of prohibition officers working in that territory recently. He was shot in the head and the body was partly hidden under moss when found. Former Governor Alfred I',. Smith . gave out a statement on Friday to the | effect that he had no plan this week | fr?r the making of any speeches, by j radio or otherwise, thus putting a wet j blanket on many who were hoping thii' the "Happy Warrior" would e..me to the aid of the Democratic' party. ; Community Fair To He Held at Bethune Bothun*. S. C.. Sept. 28,-Tl.e community f?ir *t Bethune thie ytet will be somewhat varied from one of last year. With the fidverae crop season it may seem that the fa?r would be generally poorer than the one of the past season, but Bethune is looking for the best fair they have had in years. The one given last year has taught those in charge a great deal in regard to the thing* that go to make a fair a succe**. The fair will miss the president of.I last year, Mr. A. B.

Guns Pop During Revival; Two Dead Leesville, La., Sept. 24.?Two men were known dead, an infant was shot through the head and criticai.ywounded and an undetermined number of persons wounded in a gun hattie that broke up a revival meeting at a country church at Whiskachitta, 12 miles southeast of here, tonight. Lee Johnson, 40, and Jesse Perkins, 3k, farmers, were killed by a fusilade of 40 or 50 shots fired at the church building, officers said. The infant son of Jim Carroll,, a farmer, was shot in the head and physicians did not expect the child to recover. Sheriff I). F. Turner and his deputies were investigating the outbreak, said they learned that while at least a hundred persons were listening to i the exhortation of an unidentified evangelist, shots were fired outside the building. As Johnson's bullet-ridden body slumped to the ground, guns blazed inside the church, which was lighted only by the yellow rays of kerosene lamps. The lamps were extinguished. In the accompanying darkness, several persons started shooting and the church meeting turned into a wild stampede.

Seaboard Loan Denied Washington, Sept. 23.?The Inter-1 state Commerce Commission yester- j day denied an application of receivers for the Seaboard Air Lino Railway company for a reconstruction loan of $3,000,000 to pay approximately 2,000 creditors of the company. In denying the application, the commission said that information supplied with the Applicat.op showed the receivers had sufficient cash v,ilh which to meet the more pressing claims. The receivers also, the commission said, had not yet obtained authority to apply for the loan from the court which appointed them. In addition ?o Us other troubles Soviet Kussia has a shortage of physicians, teachers, scientists and 1 authors. The youth of the country I want to be engineers rather than professional men. Plana for the erection of a combination highway and railroad bridge across the Mississippi river at Baton Rouge, I*., have been perfected, this in addition to the 114,000,000 bridge planned at New Orleans. The official hangman of Poland has hanged only HO persons this year at $15 each, and he-complains that business is so poor that he thinks the government ought to raise the scale of pay so he can live better. Herman Ledbetter ia held in jail at liarrisbuig! Ark., charged with whipping his 2-year-old stepson to death (and. then trying to make, it appear that the child's death had been caused by a fall froim* wagon. Ivoans totaling $0,020,000 were made available Saturday to the states of Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan and Kentucky by the Reconstruction Finance corporation for use in relieving destitution on those states. When a horse was frightened by the blowing of an automobile horn in the Bronx section of New York, the animal ran down the street, upset several baby cariages, injuring six persons and then plunged through a store window. A Quincy, Fla., cigar factory reports a 100 per cent increase in its business for August of this year over August of la3t year. VAND SO SAY WE. Dudley Glass gets this off in the Atlanta Georgian: "Over in South Carolina the editor and sole proprietor of a weekly newspaper had tried unavarlingly to persuade a local merchant to use the paper's advertising columns. He had abandoned the attempt wheffc said merchant sent over a 2.000 word description of hi# wifeTsT bridge party for insertion.in the society columns. The irate publisher returned it with this message: "We suggest that you have this printed on 1,000 handbills and tack them on telephone poles along with your otjior advertising." The farmer who obtained government seed and fertilizer loans is probably no better off this fall than he was in the spring. The loans must be paid first of all, and in many Instances that will take practically everything. We rmist get away from these government loans and learn to rely on our own resources. It was the way of our fathers and forefathers who built a great nation. LIVING AT HOME. ~ Many farmers have learned the lesson of living at home. They would starve on any other plan. Still they realize the necessity of a money crop if they would pay taxes and buy those things that cannot be grown oi) the farms. It is a pleasure to go out among the farmers and see how they have changed over to the plan of growing and saving on the place everything that it is possible for them to grow and have there.?Horry Herald. i . ?
