THE CHRONIC EE OF THE If Eh A Contribution* to this "Column are Will never be printed-unleee d?">? with yuur own name and addroaa. Baruch Starts Racing (By Caldwell Wither* in The Columbia Record.) In recent weeks, the hostile press has dubbed Bernard Baruch, native of Camden, about every official and unofficial office-holder in these United States from that of president to th# -wolf of Wall Street." AH of whuW is in the way of introduction to the fact that the powerful Mr. Baruch is now branching out into another field and one which admirably suits a son of Camden. He i? now racing steeplechase horses and is using the name "Kershaw.. Stables" for sentimental reasons. For Baruch is a very sentimental person. Years ago, when he was very much in the limelight about financial matters, it so happened that an interview with him 1 was one of my assignments. 1 he | outstanding recollection of that interview?aside from a running broad, jump from the moving ferry boat on which he was a passenger to the receding wharf?was his proud boast that he was a native of South Caro-| lina and that his father was a surgeon in the Confederate army. So n?>\v it comes to light from a Camden friend that Baruch may entor some of his horses, in the races at the Kershaw resort next season. ^ Harry l>. Kirkover, the generalissimo of the races and the god-father of the race course there, is still at Camden. He hopes to be able to get Baruch" to enter some of his thoroughbreds. From this same correspondent, 1 learn that Mr. Kirkover has had a large force of men working on the track. A portion of the track has been tiled-drained, which will eliminate any wet spots, even during a damp spring, for the soil there?as many people of the state who have seen the races know?is sandy und porous. Heretofore there had not been enough slope fur a natural drainage. Mr. Kirkover has also enlarged the stables to accommodate 14 more racer!*. Other notes from the steeplechase center of Dixie .-. .

"The weather was perfect for the show, and there was plenty of parking space, with bands, plenty of eats and a good natured crowd that made the Fourth of July horse sh6w at the "Tazewell fair grounds a perfect day." * * * * Charleston on Memorial Day.... an intemperate sun beating down on holiday pavements .... a few men of middle age sitting on the benches in Iluttery l'ark u group of very j black negro women in light bandana, headdress nearly, making a splendid foil for the clusters "f pink azaleas, sprays of .Mexican rose and Klondike cosmos and delicate little spiral# of eitin kitty-tails' that they are vending.

REX JONES, Judge of Probate for Kershaw1 County Published on the 7th day of July, 1933, in the Camden Chronicle and posted at the Court House door for the "time prescribed by law. r i , uemi to those in this sectioh of the country who have boon unable to pay for hospital care, " Up North young Baruch went to the College of the City of New York, graduated, and started into business. Ilia mother is credited with (the epigram, "Berqie must go wliere the money is," and she insisted that he get out of business and go into banking. He was a quick success. While his father was making a real record as a surgeon, Bernie was piling up money. And the son was only a little over 80 when ho insisted that his father be released from the cares of private medical practices ami be free to devote his long life tf> public health for the majees. 1 . I Thut is the reason Dr. Simon Baruch is still spoken of today in New York as father of the public bathing place idea. Baruch's Southern background made him a natural Democrat. He was always interested in the party ami when he found himself on the Board of Trustees of the College of the City of New York, he met William P. MoOoombs, who was one of the original Wilson boosters. McCoombs interested Baruch in Wilson and when the two were finally brought together they formed an instant attachment. ^ > Wilson saw in him a man who was bringing to public life his big business experience without the pieoccupation of big business. Other Presidents have found that because Baruch has diffused his interests so, it doesn't make him a pleader for any special interests. ( Moreover, his abundance of good , nature and good humor make him a , very easy person to get along with. He was always thoroughly flustered' by Mrs. Wijson and was one of the . few admitted to the sick President's bed chamber. From the beginning Baruch's choice < of roles has always been that of i unofficial consultant. i When the war crisis came, how- 1 ever, the emergency was too definite . and too immediate for any halfway steps, and President Wilson insisted 1 that his friend take perhaps the biggest job of all?to organize American industry as chairman of the War ' Industries Board. i One characteristic/of Mr. Baruch which has baffled observers is his amazing frankness. To those accustomed to the cozy attitude of other men with important information under their ha*ts, it is startling to find Mr. Baruch seemingly ready to discuss the most vital and private Government matters with every Tom, Dick and Harry who carpe his.way. But Mr Baruch has been doing this ; for a great many years and he has apparently found that he doesn't need to change this habit. J Also, Mrv Baruch always deprecates his part in affairs. When somebody stopped him the other day and asked him about this report that he was unofficial head of the whole Administration during President Roosevelt's absence, he replied, "I hung around Washington for 10 days like a back alley cat and no one noticed me until a few days ago-when they heard my yowl and called me in." .
