THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE II. 1). NILRS. . Editor and Publisher Published every FHtbrnat No. 1109 Broad Street and entered at the Cam* den, South (Carolina postoffiee aa second class mail matter. Price per annum 12.00, payable in advance, Friday, October 21, 1932 OUlTVI) VERT! HERS The Chronicle is this week carrying ten pages. It ia worthy of comment. It has been a long time since The Chronicle has appeared in more than an eight-page form. Many of our worthy contemporaries have cu? tailed to four'pages. The'Chronicle has, at a -financial loss, kept its usual eightpage form, and tried to keepdts news service up to its usual standard." It has worked under a serious handicap ?not alone from acN^rtiling patronage, both local and foreign but front a serious loss from non-payment of subscription accounts. * Hut its circulation bus not suffered. We have tarried many of our delinquent subscribers, and still have hopes th,at they will help u? carry on. The merchants of Camden who have survived the depression?and there are many? are still doing business at the same old stand. Thoy invito you to trude with them. They offer the same line of goods as their big yity competitors. Aside from this, when you think of trading out of the county,, you should consider that the money spent at home goes to help puy your school teachers, your county officials, ?your taxes and the upkeep of your charity organizations at home. The home-town merchants are called upon to help out in everything pertaining to city and county welfare. At present, like all communities, we have a heavy demand upon us for those not so fortunate in this world's goods and the more spent in Camden, the more \"Ou help those in distress. Aifctfid tlu* county fair next week, meet ybur neighbors, and if you have any money to spend trade with Chronicle advertisers. THE HOME COt'NTY I'AI'ER Only a few years ago we were told ' that, the local newspaper was passing ?that it could not compete with those of the big cities?and that it must yield to the inevitable. But the prophets were wrong. It is true that the smaller paper ctittnot supply in detail all of the news of the world. It cam not compete with its city contemporary in illustrations and features. And yet the local paper is still with us, and it is growing in strength and usefulness as the years go by. Some of the reasons for its existence are summed up in this paragraph from an exchange. The local paper should bo found in every home. No children should grow up ignorant who can be taught to appreciate the home paper. It is said to be the stepping stone of intelligence in all those matters not to be found in books. (live your children a foreign paper which contains not a word about any person, place or thing, which they never saw or perhaps never heard of, and how could you expect them to be interested? Hut let them have tlie home paper and read of people whom they meet and of places of which v they are familiar 'and soon an interest is awakened* which increases with every arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed and thus children will read tho papers all through their lives and become intelligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors, strong in tho knowledge of the world as it is today.?Anderson IXaily M^iil.

The agricultural department is making a strenuous fight in Georgia and Florida to prevent the spread of the pink boll weevil. Me xico City experienced the heaviest rainfall in many years over Friday and Saturday. Many buildings were flooded.

Capital Observations (Special to The Chronicle) Washington, D. Oct. 18.?As is universally known Washington is lofutwi in the Pistrivt of Columbia, which is Federal territory. Wnen origiigilly laid out it consisted! of 100 square miles, partly on the Virginia side and partly on the Maryland side of the Potomac river. After about fifty years the Virginia (portion was ceded back tosthe state, leaving nearly seventy square miles, which now constitutes the District. The city has been gradually extending, until now there is some settlement in nearly every part of the District. A provision of a law passed by Congress during the past summer, known as the lOconomy Act, is to the j effect that when a reduction is to be made in the force of Federal cm- j ployes, (he first to go shall be wives whose husbands are in the Government service, and vice versa. There are no statistics at hand, but in a large nunilber of families there are two or more members employed. This came about principally because of the busy times during and subsequent to the world war, hut its continuance has caused mucn criticism and dissatisfaction, when on account of t'he depression, good positions and jobs of any kinds are more than scarce. The feature of the law mentioned has given rise to subterfuges, some of which are amusing. Threats of separation of husband and wife became so numerous that the civil service commission promulgated a* ruling that tiie mainUnanee of separate homes by married couples would bo i I no bar to the loss of position, so ac|tunl divorces are said to be contemI plated now. It is also alleged that i many young women employed by the I Government' have married, and are j continuing to work under their maij den names, to got around the danger( 'of dismissal. It might seem strange 'how that could bo done, but in a City | of a half million population, with approximately seventy thousand Government employes, such a step might | not become public, especially if the i marriage took place in another com| munity. It would seem that the reorganizes of the Republican .party in .South Carolina and contenders for political pie, selected a bad year. Four years ago, when a considerable number of good and reliablo citizens were disgruntled over the nomination of A1 Smith, would have been a muoh more auspicious time. Old Joe Tolbert, who for years bore the brunt and odiom of Republicanism in the state, was thrown overboard at the national convention this year, in favor of the Hambright collection of patronage hunters. It will remain to be seen whether the last named faction will -survive, the loss of Federal offices after the incoming of the Democratic administration. The Literary Digest is what its name implies, and is of its kind one of the lending weekly publications, ' with an exceedingly large and influential numbtV* of subscribers. The straw vote that it has been conducting as* to the probable result of the ' presidential election includes in its latest tabulation nearly two million voters. Straw votes do pot elect candidates, but they show the way the wind is blowing, and that of the Literary Digest is regarded as particularly significant and dependable. Of the votes recorded Hoover received 781.481; Roosevelt 1,002,087; Thomas (socialist) 106.352, and scattering 38,704. Of the states included in the poll Roosevelt led in more than sixseventh. From a conservative source however, an admonition was issued to the effect that the time, for celebration on the part of the Democrats had not yet arrived. At the close of the Civil War Columbia. S. O, was burned, and Sherman. commanding the Federal troops, charged that (he incendiarism was due to orders issued by Gen. j Wade Hampton. The allegation was . -rp? twj-dy denied by the I? oitfcdoi' ate v.-ij mander and by all others ! ;.i "icii t.? g.\ e !'

This is vigorously denied by the head of the force, who stated, according to a recent press report, that "Secretary Hurley must have lied when ho said in bis American Legion speech at Portland, Oregon, 'that the bonus force tents at Anacostia were burned by veterans, because the Secretary's immediate subordinate in Washington had acknowledged that the tents were burned under United States Army orders." Judge Kdgar A. Moring. f>8, of the Iowa supreme court, died at Des Moines J-^aturday night. Ubrerree E. Martin, of Martinsville, W. Ya., is the new president of the American Bar association. THE 8JBOKT8MEN*8 VIEW The game department of South Carolina it* supported entirely through the ?ale of hunting licenses, fines for violation of the game, fish add trapping laws, fur tags and fur dealers' license fees. By far the majority of funds arh derived from the sale of hunting licenses. The hunters of the state are theref^P the chief contributors to th? maintenance of this department, or, in effect, they are the majority stockholders. This being true, it is no more than natural and right, in any democratic government or business, that they have a voige in the, management of the department which they, in such large measure, support. To argue otherwise is to argue usury?extortion?taxation wjthout representation. The plan offered by tho organized sportsmen of the state calls for a non-salaried commission of from three to five men, to be appointed by the governor from a list of recommendations made by the governing hoard of the sportsmen's organization. The dulties of these commissioners would be clearly defined in the act of creating the commission, as in the case of tho forestry commission, which last year cost the state 1^&s than $10 per man. The state of South Carolina is not being asked for a single cent. The hunters of the stato have always supported the game department and will continue to do so. But tho sportsmen feel that the present system of game administration. though doubtless established in gOQcl faith by the legislature of 1920, haft failed utterly to give them tho returns they have a right to expect from their investment, and that the system is so closely allied with politics that nothing constructive or progressive could ever be accomplished j through it. The reasons for this are obvious, j The chief game warden is elected i by the general assembly. The coun- I ty game wardens are recommended I by the county legislative delegations | and appointed by the chief game warden. It anjounts to election by /the county delegations. Although/ the chief game warden has technical legal authority to discharge coimty game wardens, he would likely inAir the displeasure of the county de^gation if he exercised; such authority. Therefore, the county game wardens are under little authority or direct con trot * The system, with its methods of naming gtune wardens, and other characteristics, offers the best possible opportunity?whether that op portunity is used or not?for political meddling, with no provisions whatever for insuring its serving its proper purpose. Such a situation would seem to be ineonaistent with the principles of democratic government. In every state where constructive progress has been ma(^> in preserving natural resources, it has first been necessary to set up an organization free from political entanglements. The sportsmen feel that the system now in use in South Carolina-? as antiquated as the muzzle-loading shotgun?lias been tried long enough and found wanting, having borne no fruit in tho last 12 years. The 'state hasV-Mtr* sanctuaries, no state-wide hatcheries and next to no protection and the sportsmen submit that it is time to change to a plan that has proved to bo effective as well as beneficial, and agreeable to all concerned. They maintain these arguments are unanswerable and they mean to persist in their demands until a modern, efficient system is established in South Carolina.?-Harry Hampton in Columbia State.
