~~(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

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

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.

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.
