Friday, July 7, 1933 ~~(losk fok church hour We have never felt called upon to take the role of a Mono* and lead thoj people out of wildernesses. During: the long years that this paper has tried to serve the community we have | seen muny things that wo- did not. wholly aj'provo of, but whenever it: has appealed doubtful that any good! woulti rt.-.ult from our dipping in ed-1 ;turiall> we have looked on in silence,, profiling not to joopardize our inlluence foolishly when we probably: could not better the situation by anything wo might say. But there are times when it becomes the duty of a newspaper to speak out, even at the risk of alienating some of those friends. Wo are not preaching, for Camden ?. has good preachers and good churches. Kvory resident of Camden and every stranger within our gates may with profit listen to an excellent sermon and good music each Sunday morning. The business people should not put- anything in the way of church attendance. Wo would not ask the drug atorop and other places that remain open on Sunday to close their doors for the full day, but they ought to be willing to shut up during Sunday school and church hours. It wouldn't hurt them and it wouldn't hurt their customers. \Vo t^iow that j Sijjjid' will sneer and Aay, '^TTiis is] small town stud"', bpt 'Camden will, never be big enough, it) our judgment, for soda fountains, etc. to remain open and beer to be dispensed, during tlie hours of church worship.We do not believe that there is a single argument in favor of these places remaining open during church hours, and there are untold arguments against it. We believe that the gentlemen who own and operate these establishments will be glad to cooperate when the matter is called to their attention. In behalf of those of this community who believe that business places ought to be closed during the hours of worship and that we can get along just as well by not trying to compete with t^ie church on Sunday mornings, we call on these! establishments to join hands and I keep their doors closed on Sundays' until after church hours. We bo-! Jieve, gentlemen, that you Will do it, I and if you do not, we believe that the city council will require you to do it. Certainly it is placing no hardship on you, and public opinion demunds it. The editor of The Chronicle, inj company with a friend, stopped over in dii.-.i opvjlle on the Fourth to see a baseball game between Bishopville and Be'liune. We gut in on about j the third inning, hut we got our; money's worth, as it took fifteen in-' fling- ' o decide tile eonie>t. Those' hi'V- played high-class baseball with; only a few errors. IU-thune finally w>n hv a score of right to seven.! (i >nd crowds were in attendance. Itj makes one wonder why Camden, a1 former good baseball town,, has lost interest in this great National game. If Bethune and Bishopville can support a good team surely a town the size of Camden could make it a go. Raymond Moley, assistant secretary of state, sailed for Igmdon Wednesday to join the United States delegation at the economic conference, af-ter first having visited President Roosevelt on Tuesday off the Massachusetts const for final instructions as to America's attitude on conference matters.

' - Agent Green Makes Appeal To Leaders Tho cotton acreage reduction campaign in Kershaw county is progressing splendidly with ono exception. We do not have enough men actively engaged in explaining1 the matter to farmers and in taking contracts. This is Van urgent appeal to the leading farmers and leading business men of all over Kershaw county to 'give their acitve support to this work for at least one or two days. In consideration of the tremendous importance of this work ami realizing that it is a tight to save all of the people ami all ot' the -businesses throughout i the south, I do not feel that 1 am asking too much of our leading jnen, even though they aj'o very busy with thefivown affairs, to give some time to getting contracts signed |>y farmers in order that this campaign may succeed as quickly as possible. Our forefathers made big sacrifices on the original independence day and I think it will not be asking too much for us to sacrifice a day or two on an occasion which is intended not to liberate us from military bondage but from economic bondtige. This is a call for a little patriotic service. Unless this campaign succeeds I fear wo shall again face the hardships brought about by low priced cotton which will bo a calamity on not only the cotton south but tho entire United States. It will mean many more business concerns having to close their doors; thousands of our men having to drop their insurance; and hardship and hunger to many more thousands of our people before this next winter is over. Our government is doing everything it possibly can to help the cotton south and the -ueness or failure of this moment us plan rots in our hands. If you are willing to give a little active service you are requested by County Agent Henry l>. Green to come to his office at once and get instructions and supplies. UPON ADVERTISING There are more advertising schemes and more advertising solicitors to pester jind harass merchants and buiness men than ever before. Some time ago a couple of pretty girls solicited The Enquirer for an advertisement to be placed on a curtain of an auditorium in a high school. The cost would be only $7.50 for a small space and $10 t-o $15 for a larger place. Because I did not see fit to throw away several perfectly good dollars, the girls threatened to boycott, or girlcott, the old Enquirer. The merchants of Monroe have thrown away thousands of dollars in pla, ir.g lettering which no < ne reads on high school curtains. There is another species of advertising wherein the merchant is victimized. Snine young woman comes to town and organizes a group to produce a play. School auditiorium ; i- used fur which no rent is paid. The: boys and girls d>> all the work and J ti.e young woman gets practically all I pay. But programs must be printed I and the merchants of the town solicited to carry "advertisements" on the sheet?sometimes as much as $50 "worth." Then tho audience is furnished programs, in the darkened hohse where no one can read the programs much less the advertisements. Merchants all too often are threatened with boycott if they do not "come across." On a recent day a fellow came to The Enquirer office, saying he would walk blindfolded the cornice of the highest building in town. He said tho merchants would 'be glad to carry large, advert sements in the paper because of tho big crowds that would come to town to see the stunt. But a crowd that has only morbid curiosity never puts any money in the merchant's till. In this I am reMi nded of the late Charlie Newman, who ,.]>* : ,i* M nroo'-. first bakery. | I' . ... iH.

' Two Killed, Others Injured In Wreck Hart#ville, July 1.?Two youths were fatally injured and two other person* are in a critical condition at a Florence hospital tonight as the result of a sideswipe of the truck in which they were riding and another truck going in the opposite direction 'this morning. Seven others on the I same truck were injured less serious|ly. Ii.cnry Gainey, 14, died almost immediately of a broken neck and other injuries. Joseph Gaiuey, 10, b. th legs badly mangled, died at the ?.!cLeod infirmary in Florence several hours later, f Isaac Gainey, JO, brother of Hcnrywi? not expected to live and Henry's father, John Gainey, is also in a critical condition. Lawrence Gainey, brother of Jo-| soph, was removed to his home. '1 he two Gainey families are not related but are share croppers for the Coker Pedigreed Seed company in the Dovesville section. Riding towards Ilarstvillo on United States highway 101, several were sitting on the side of tho Coker seed truck with their legs hanging ovtr7 A lumber truck from Bethune, coming towards them on a straight stretch scraped the edge of their truck. The trucks touches! so lightly that the Bethune driver continued on i down the road a hundred yards orj more before he realized that a serious accident had occurred. Tho Coker truck was driven by Bill Berry and the lumber truck by Floyd Freshley. The .lumber truck is the property of W. W. Mungo, of Bethune. Luring the first six months <>f I DTI there were 11 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynohings, according to records gathered by Kobeidr R. Morton, principal of Tuskegee institute. Of these, three were in Northern states and 11 in | Southern states. In nine of the instances the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented; in the five other instances force was used to repel the would be lynchers; thus a total of 17 persons, six whito9 and! eleven negroes, were saved from1 death at the hands of mobs. Of the persons lynched two were white and 4 were negroes. The offenses charged I wore rape, one; murder, four; charge' not reported, one. The states in which lynching* occurred and the number i in each state are as follows> Georgia.' one; Louisiana, two; Tennessee, two; j Texas, one. The third annual institute of the, county superintendents of education ( of the state has been tentatively set for July 10 to 14 at theTJniversity of j South Carolina. Speakers will in-j elude several university professors j and county superintendents of education. James 11. Hope, state superin-! tendent of education will hold a m;m-. bcr of conferences with the county! superintendents during the five-day, institute. G. Miller Eleazer, Richland! county, is president of the organiza-! tion and George Dominick, New-: berry, secretary. v Chancellor Hitler has sternly warned German parents that their children will be taken away and put under the government's wing if they are not brought up as good Nazis. Addressing a crowd of 120,000, half of them Nazis at Berlin, he said: "Youth is our future. If the older generation cannot get accustomed to us we will take away the children and rear them in our spirit." The Catholic See at Rome is much displeased with the Hitler government of Germany, because of the disbanding of Catholic clubs in that country.

Thank nil (juu'Neglected Assets Beginning today, The Chronicle will run a series of -brief articles written by Harry Hampton, secretary-treasurer of the South Carolina Game and Fiah .Awodation, and author of the Woods and Waters column in The State, Columbia. These articles contain information : which their author feels should be interesting to the people of the state on whom lie believes the subject has a direct bearing. The sole purpose of the articles is to give the people an idea of the value of the entire populace of garno land iish as a natural resource proper| ly usoil, some history of wild life in this state, its former abundance, what j depleted it,* how it has been restored elsewhere and how it can be restored in hvouth Carolina, together with irK formation on the present game syst^fa in South Carolina and how it ditfeYV> frOm plans that have been successful in conservation, both elscwhore and in this state. The author asks that all readers, of The Chronicle interested in the progress of the state carefully read this scries of articles, believing they will get therefrom considerable information of interest and importance to the welfare of the commonwealth. 1. Game?Former Abundance When South Carolina was .first settled by the white man, it swarmed with game, fish and wild life of every sort from the mountains to the sea? an apparently inexhaustible .supply. There are no records, of course, of the actual numbers of these species, but there are many old records that give us an idea by which we can compare them to the present supply. Thus it is recorded that the bison, ! or buffalo, was once a plentiful game I animal in South Carolina. Simms Geography, published in 1S43, tells us that in the early days it was easy for a group of hunters to kill in a few minutes enough buffaloes to supply their families with ipeat for the winter. We all know that the buffalo is now extinct except for a few domesti| cated herds. | Another' record, found in an old j diary, written by a traveler through upper South Carolina, relates that he ' was awakened before daylight every, morning and kept awake "by the incessant crowing of the turkey cocks. Simms' Geography relates that the panther or Mountain Lion, the wolf, deer, fox and wild turkey were all plentiful in the upper districts of South Carolina i>0 years ago. Now these game species except the fox are unheard of in this section, and the fox may be becoming too abundant some sections, not having been killed out like the other game. ' The same source gives us the information that ducks and geese frequented all the rivers amL ponds of the state and swarmed our coastal rice fields in winter, while the woodcock and the snipe swarmed the bottom lands at every cold snap. Nearly 100 of the last have been killed in a day by a single hunter. In the mountainous regions of northwestern South Carolina ruffed grouse, locally called "pheasant in N<orth and South Carolina, were then plentiful. Wild, or passenger, pigeons. now extinct, and plover, practically. so, arrived in clouds, "darkening the sky." We've more recent information from Mr. C. L. Newman, associate editor of the Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. C., who has kept records of his kills and catches of 25 or 30 years ago. Among them are the following from South Carolina: "Twenty-seven brook (mountain) trout in three hours in Oconee county." "Eighteen Bob Whites in two hours in Pickens county." Today the big game has been wiped out from all of upper South Carolina. and the fish practically so. while the small game is negligible in the whole northwestern section of the state.
