Friday, October 28, 1932 Would Rebuild Our Rural Civilization "... . . . r #< ' 'H ,V "* Atlanta, Oct. 24.?-Franklin p. Roosevelt tonight said that the object of the Democratic party must be "the rebuilding* of the rural civilization ofy America." Speaking tp a crowd of southerners that jammed the big Atlanta uuditorium. to the rafters, the Demoy"' cratTc presidential candidate nd<led. "1 am morovor, enough of an American to believe that such a restoration of prosperity in this country will d<? more to effectuate worhi recovery than all of the promotional schemes of lending money to backward and crippled countries could do in generations. "In this respect, I am for America first." . Mr. Roosevelt reviewed three of the points in the agricultural program he laid down in his Topeka and later * speeches and added to them the item of reforestation."Ft is time for every one of the older states to survey their entire .acreage for the purpose of determining the best future use of the land." he said. "In most of the states east of the Mississippi it will undoubtedly be determined that somewhere between 10 and 20 per rent of existing farm acreage, now used for agricultural crops, should be abandoned as such and converted into u^ for tree crops*" Mr. Roosevelt, said there were thousands of acres in the national forest of the Appalachian mountains in which trees were growing indiscriminately. "Is there any good reason, financial or common sonee or otherwise, why the federal government should not undertake the proper care of its own property," he asked. "Here again, is another field for the employment of great numbers of our citizens." Mr. Roosevelt said the president in his acceptance speech had preached a "doctrine of despair to the suffering farmers of the country." "He said in substance that the farmer must wait the long weary process of industrial reconstruction before aid can come tx> him," the governor added. The candidate said Mr. Hoover, "after concealing from the people of the country the constantly sinking condition of industry and growing unemployment" had op|H?se<l Democratic measures to meet destitution and promote employment. The three point program which he repeated called for easing the tax load of the farmer, wrestling with 'the farm mortgage problem, and restoring t lie power of the farmer with the tariff as an aid. A1 Smith Opens Campaign Drive Newark, Oct. 24 ?Al Smith, while a police-estimated crowd of 20,000 men and women roared their approval. concluded his first national campaign speech tonight by de>clai ing that nothing but the election of the Roosevelt-Garner ticket would solve the economic problems of America. Smith devoted a large portion of his address to a review of the 1928 campaign, including the activities of Mrs Mabel Walker Willebrandt, whose activities he described "as an example of bigotry." and to a comparison of the prohibition planks in the two parties. A broad grin played aeross the "happy warrior'*." ??oiinU*rv?4?wo hc faced a battery of floodlights and an i r.thu- a-f ic throng of .le-ey Demo, -at- leaders had supported m !" !' * he nomination n t lie t eago t ..m ention. Speaking Of his a inn a ram e hi re fuul' \ iiik'J A itgv. We::, we are four year* o.dt-r. ar.t. forty vert! < wiser. We were wag r g ,-n impossible fight then. Speaking ?>f Herbert Hoover's 19-8 (amnaign. he said: "lie even promised to banish poverty from our land although our Divine Lord said 'the poor you have always with you. . "What we have gone through, ne said, "has taugbt us one thing?-i nothing else? that no candidate will dare stArwl on a platform anywhere in the United States in the future and claim credit for business cycles and business prosperity." Rev H F. Davidson, rector of St iffkev, has been formally -emoved from the priesthood of the Church of KngL.nd! following his ronvrrtion taat July before a church court on of immoral conduct with severa young women. A ilUJEJ- ? ' Capital Observations ' (Special Correspondence) | Washington, D. C.t Oet. 25.?Washi ington is the eastern gateway between the north ami the south, practically all travel betwoc# those section passing through the city. An average of a hundred ami forty i?as8en:. ger trains come in daily, ovor eiK^ groat railroads, centering in the union station. The Seaboard Air Line ami tho Atlantic t'oast Line go over the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potbmac as far as Richmond, Virginia, where they enter upon their own. tracks. The Southern Railway leaves the city on its own roadbed. In last week's Chronicle under the head of "Looking Backward" there appeared this item, quoted from an issue of the paper thirty years ago.' " County Treasurer W. R. Hough publishes annual notice of tqxes due. The levy for state, county and school purposes is 14 1-2 mills." It may be that 14 1-2 mills did not include tiny special levy for school purposes, but whether such is tho case or not, thero is an appalling difference between 14 1-2 'mills and the levy for this year which is a total of 48 1-2 mills for all purposes in schphl district No. 1, which includes the city of Camden. In addition, in the city thero is the municipal tax, which this <year is 28 mills. This showing presents a most unfavorable aspect for a prospective investor. It is difficult to understand especially during times of stress like the present, how the people, willingly or unwillingly manage to struggle under such an enormous load of tax^ ation. j Political prognosticators are ali ready speculating upon the make-up | of the cabinet in the event of the 1 election <>f Roosevelt. Prominently 1 mentioned for secretary of the treasI ury is Bernard M. Baruch, well known in Camden, where his boyhood days were spent. -Mr. Baruch has long been considered an eminent financier | of high standing, and during the administration of Wood row Wilson, was j one of the president's chief advisors 'on fiscal affairs. It has long been the custom for a | president of the United States running for re-election to maintain a I dignified reserve, to leave the record of his administration to speak for him, and not go upon the hustings. ' but to delegate the active political campaigning to his supporters. This year, however, the Republicans are so hard pressed that in a desperate effort they are hustling Hoover around and about the country on regular stumping tours. All indications continue to point to the success of the National Democratic ticket on November 8th. A I leading Washington newspaper with j the largest circulation, professing^to_ be independent but friendly disposed towards the Republican administration, makes a forecast based on reliable reports from staff correspond' t-nts, throughout the country, in j which Roosevelt is given 1 ! > certain I electoral votes with 211 inclining to ward the Democratic ticket. Hoover ! is given only IS certain votes with j 7*? inclining towards the Democrats. I Fifty votes are listed as doubtful, j but if all of these were placed in tho [ Hoover column he would still be far j from having the necessary majority, j which is 2G6 electoral votes. i Notwithstanding the adverse action taken by both the Republican and Democratic national conventions this year concerning prohibition, the actual repeal of the 18th amendment is still a long ways off. Before it can he accomplished it would be necessary for the Senate and the House of Representatives each to pass by a two-thirds majority a repeal resolution. which would then go to the states for ratification or rejection. Three-fourths of the states would have to ratify, and as is evident thirteen states by refusing could keep [the present amendment in the constitution. It is improbable after the coming elect i??n and wllhin (be next two year- that both houses of con. gross would vote for repeal by the. nece->ary two-thirds majority, and it - , \. red :ngl v doubtful whether as, man> a- th':r!y--ix states would rat-| . the way the matter looks now. j ,in arr.,'r.dmcr.t f~r repeal be ; -ubmi'ted to the states, it would pro- j ; bably take well upwards of two years j 'before a sufficient number would net.J J and before a determination could be I reached. However, it is generally bej lieved that it is within the province of congress to authorize the nianuj facture and sale of beverages of an alcoholic content greater than one, half of one per cent, which is the ro^ striction laid down in the existing law. Despite boisterous gales and a downpour of rain hundreds of hunger marchers pressed on over Knglish roads towards I>ondon on .Sunday. When Amos Bruner, 35. tenant farmer, refused to give crop share to 7,. I William* from 30 acres of land two miles from Seminole, Okla., \\ illiam* killed Bruner and his wife in a cornfield. \ Community Fair Was Success at Bethune Bethune, Oct. 21.?The Community Fair ws* he id in Bethune Friday, October 21, with an attending crowd of more than a thouaaijd enthusiastic community builders. l'he exhibits were exceptionally good for the unfavorable year; -yet against the odds at the unfavorable year this fair is now to become an established event ho that the farmers and the professional leaders can display to the public the actual things that are existing in the immediate community. * The elementary high school exhibits were displayed in tho respective buildings with a show of enormous thought and skill, the work displayed was only that of the pupils under the guidance of the teacher. 1 he rooms represented the subjects taught in them and were judged accordingly, First place in the high school went to J. H. MoDaniel, teacher of science;. second place went to J. C. Foster, teacher of history, and third j place to E. B. Keisler, teacher of vocational agriculture.

Second place went to the second grade taught by Miss Brown. Third place went to the seventh grade, taught by Mr. Burns. Miss Norris and Miss Tiller. Tim rod and Shamrock grammar schools both displayed booths in the elementary building in town and were in keeping with tho best, hirst place going to Tim rod and second to Shamrock. Prize was offered for the best South Carolina map to be drawn from j the fifth, sixth and seventh grades. Alene Hilton won first place. Margie Jones second and Olin Watkins third.! Third and fourth grades were offered, a prize for the best map of Kershaw | county. First place being won by, Gertrude Dean, Oscar Jordan second, and third place Harry Linton.

This annual occasion is hoped to be even better as the years (pass and with the support of the people of the community it is expected to be better. ' Blaney Fair Proves Success Blaney, S. C., Oct. 24.?The Blaney Community?Fiair which was held at the school house last Friday night, October 21. was probably one of the best that has ever been held there. The exhibits were both good and numerous. The cut flowers and pot plants added much to the attraction of the room, as did the canned goods, fancy work. -etc.. that were displayed. The exhibit of chickens was much better than 4t has ever been hefore. Tho outstanding exhibit in *he field crops was the one of fresh vegetables. consitmg of twenty-five varieties, exhibited by J. M. Mai tin. The exhibit of ribbon cane, sorghum, and a largo pumpkin put in by H. A. Hawkins, caused quite a few comments. A large crowd was in attendance.

Camden Bull Dogs Win Fifth Game amden'? fighting bull dogs won their fifth straight game on last Friday when they smeared the scrappy Darlington team 31 to 6 in a very exoiting game. Camden, as usual, was strong on offense, rolling up fourteen first downs to their oinponentV nix. Darlington made their first down in the last quarter after Camden had substituted almost a new team. Darlington didn't register a first down until about ten minutes before the game ended. The visitors had an unusually strong line and the center of it was almost impregnable, due to the fact that there was a top-notch defensive center there by the namo< of Mills and he smeared Camden's-; play over the line right and left. He was undoubtedly the best defensive player that the bull dogs have come across this season ami also he was the most outstanding player of the game. The first quarter of the game was scoreless but Camden let loose her big guns in the second period and ran up five touchdowns. Camden scored their last touchdown in the third quarter and from then on they let Darlington^ave their own way. The visitors drove down the field for their tally with some nice^ runs by James, Page and Truett and with the aid of a nice thirty-five-yard pass Page drove over for the score. #. Those scoring for Camden were: : Thompson, Team, Sanders and Woot; | en. Woo ten scored two touchdowns. I Three of the scores eam.e from wide ! sweeping end runs and two were driven oyer the line.
