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

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.

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.
