l?KEL OR REPEAL
It looks like th* public is tired
'f our so-called prohibition. The majority
<>f the P*?Ple who havo VQted
Jr will vote for repeal are not in fa
L ot whiskey. 'They are simply
tired of what wo have, be it prohibition
or imitation. ;
Tin- bootleggejra we naturally in
f8VOI. ?f the government keeping its
,0?e off the whiskey business. They
"cmitui ?iW of the Pullman train with
2 pass floors on the inside, .paying
their fares, while a gang of 100 or
,m0re is riding on top for nothing.
I ain't in favor of whiskey. We
' possibly get along without a
whiskev tax, if we can't make the
kpotU'gKcr Pay any taxea? wo ahal1
r have to fix it so's he won't get all
the trade, .like h?'? doing now. The
iniv way to get anything out of the
u. .put \ tfix on fruit
jars, lyc, potash, shoe polish and sulphur
matches, the main ingredients
in liquid corn.
If whiskey does come back,-wo
hope it will come in. a decent form,
: if decency may .be mentioned in con^
nection with it. If booze is plentiful,
easily . obtained at a low price,
we'are going to trade our automohiie
for an armored truck with bumpt
ers running all around It, solid tires,
W ind bullet proof windshield.
". .Think of a man coming towards
sVu 5 sheets in the wind at 75 m. p.
h ... that's low-speed for sonic :>f
\ our newest installment plans, .and
vou ain't got nowhere to dodge but
' under the seat; you might be able to
get out ..f the wrfy of a cyclone, but
j a drunk driver has a hurricane skint
7 a block when it comes to hitting in
f wn-n-' places and climbing over oVj
crawling under autos.
Lv a drunk man thinks he knows
more than all the rest of the folks
T put together. A fellow with 4 drinks
of white lightning will actually try
to tell the best preacher in town why
[ Jonah swallowed the whale, and* nine
times out of ten, he has never looked
in a Bible except to see how old he
[ was.
.,..But is is possible that Mr. Vol
stead's act has run its course. Whiskey
under control would possibly be
I. all right, but that's one thing nobody
| has ever kept under control very
long. If Uncle Sam will undertake
to handle the booze business and take
; some of the tax money for himself
and give us the balance for jails,
poor-houses and funeral expenses, we
will possibly get along OK.
TRAFFIC CONORS TORS
... 1 have made up my mind not to
t try to _*o anywhere in a hurry on
Sunday afternoon. If the road is
r wide enough for you to pass snails,
oxcarts, couples in love and other
slow-moving objects, why, it's O. K.
. to venture out on the public highway.
? l.a-t Sunday found me on my
way home from the mountains. I
wanted to get home in time to go
to preaching (?), but lost my religion
be fore I had travelled 10 miles.
u When I finally arrived. .. .everybody
had gone to bed except the Greeks.
L They r.cver sleep.
\ ?As far as I could see, both in
front and behind, were automobiles.
[ If times were much harder, travel
would be so congested it wouldn't
' he worthwhile to try to go any place.
And marly every car you see is a
new oar.
T o first couple that slowed me
dowr, from 55 m. p. h. were hugging
w'*th l hands and driving the car
*i'.h a loft foot. They were burning
UP cement at about 5 m. p. h.
-r.ply wouldn't turn that boy
a-ioc.-. and I had' to poke along be"r'-r.:
' m for 25 minutes. ... as a
'u- a meeting me as fast as I could
; ha' ye.
were several model "tease"
oeossion; some were loaded
atormelons and younguns
hers were loaded with youngnia
and pa. They were
' itt.r..- '? m along pretty well consid<r'"g
toy weren't going anywheres
t " P;>": uiar. Most of the folks were
p.ca-.-r.riding; their pleasure conS!>tcc;
;ri pbt letting anybody break
a 1 ''-miie-per-hour speed limit....
^ they run across one.
^ "at this country needs is a
Ui? !"'n:rn'Jm speed limit instead of a
|* Max.mum speed limit. At man or
P *?man who hogs up the highway by
i easirv along at almost a parking
speed irait ought to be arrested as
luick'.y as the chub who skeets by
tv- frb m. p. h. If a couple wants to
and affectionate, why don't they
Unt a road where nobody travels?
L_ - One time while enroute, our car
C.
got behind a 1-horse wagon loaded
with some household goods and a
family of 12. It took us 28 minutea
to get around that poor old fellow
and his holdings. And we would
have still been behind them had they
not turned off at a well. That mule
walked so slow you could count 250
between the sounds of her feet on
the pavement. Road patrols will certainly
get my thanks if they'll speed
up traffic about 50 per cent where it
converts itself into slow-motion, and
if they find a party who desires to
ride at 4 miles per hour, force 'em
to ride thru the woods or pastures..
..where they won't run nervous people

Two Negroes Killed;
Another Is Wounded
Tuscaloosa, Ala., Aug. 18.?Three
negroes, being removed from Tuscaloosa
to Birmingham for safe-keeping,
pending trial on charges of slaying
a 21-year-old white girl, early
today were taken from officers and
two of them later were found shot to
death near Blocton, 23 miles west of
Birmingham.
' No trace had been found of the
third negro, despite an intensive
search throughout the day by peace
officers of three counties.
The removal followed increasing
rumors here that un attack wojjjd be
made on the jail lust night to take
the negroes, Dan Pippen, Jr., , 18,
Elmore Clark, 28, and A. T. Harden,
Id, who were under indictment in the
slaying of Miss Vaudine Maddox in
rural Tuscaloosa county several
weeks ago.
Pippen and Harden were the two
found shot to death shortly before
noon today. Officers reported that the
bodies of the two negroes bore approximately
25 pistol wounds.
Sheriff R, ? L. Shamblin, in announcing
that armed men in two cars
had overpowered his deputies and
seized the negroes just inside the
Jefferson County line, said: "Wo
took many precautions to prevent
anything of this nature. I believe
the interference of the International
Labor Defense lawyers in the case is
directly responsible for this violence.
"Inje^ion of the International I^abor
Defense in the Pippen trial and
subsequent declarations of intention
to continue in the case had aroused
public feeling to an intense pitch."
When the Pippen case was called
to trial here August 2, national
guardsmen were assembled, Judge
Henry L. Foster said, "not to protect
the negroes, but to give succor to the
attorneys employed by the International
Labor Defense."
Subsequently after Pippen and
his parents had testified that they did
not wish the International Labor Defense
attorneys, Irving Schwab and
Allan Taub of New York and Frank
Irving of Birmingham, to intercede
in the case, Judge Foster ruled they
were without authority, and continued
the trial.
The three attorneys were given a
National Guard escort out of the
'cTty ~ajnd .roports were made to Birmingham
police that a mob attempted
to molest them at Tuscaloosa station.
These reports subsequently were
denied by Major Torrey Jemison,
commanding the escort.
Hamilton Home Restored
Alexander Hamilton's "country"
(at that" time) home in New York
City has beeq thoroughly renovated
and restored by the American Scenic
and Historical Preservation Society
which acquired the old home ^n 1924.
It is planned to turn it into a museum
of the period in which he lived.
The house was built in 1602 and
Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton lived
there several years after the death of
her "husband in 1804. She disposed of
all the furniture when it was sold but
three items remain to form the nucleus
of the museum collection. They
are a bust of Hamilton by the Italian,
Ceracchi, a set of books and one of
Mrs. Hamilton'9 presses. The collection
is expected to grow and the
date for a formal opening is set for
this fall.?The Pathfinder.
Ladies Receive Injuries
While enroute Sunday morning at
three o'clock to visit relatives in Aiken
the Ford touring car occupied by
Mrs. John Baskin of near Bishopville,
three children, Thomas, Norvelle and
Ann, her nephew, Pete Briggs, and
her mother, Mrs. Briggs, turned over
near Stateburg. The car was almost
completely demolished according to
reports. It was six o'clock before
any one reached them and they were
then carried to the Tourney hospital
in Sumter where they now are. Mrs.
Baskin was severely bruised and cut
j about the face and Mrs. Briggs had
I one of her legs broken in three places
| and her neck severely lacerated. The
boys received cuts and bruises but
the girl escaped injury. Their many
' friends will be glad to hear that they
I are improving. Mrs. Briggrf will probably
be in the hospital for over a
j month.?Bishopville Messenger.
Conway Camp Bears
Scarborough Name
(By Harold McNinch)
Conway, S, 0., Aug. 18,?The moat
important event in our camp history
was enacted Wednesday afternoon,
August Id, 1933, when our camp dedication
exercises was held. It was a
ceremony never to be forgotten, by,
those who witnessed it.
Our camp was dedicated to one of
Horry's adopted sons?one of her
jnost prominent men, Honorable Hobert
lty'thea Scarborough, and was so
named-w<<iCamp Scarborough." It is
very fitting that this honor should be
paid the memory of Colonel Scarborough,
for his long life of consecration
to the uplifting and betterment
of conditions in Horry County,5
deserves all honor.
At 3 o'clock .the entire camp force
was marched to the camp entrance,
where a large crowd of people was
gathered from Conway. Among the
spectators was the entire family of
Col. Scarborough* bis widow, sons,
daughters-in-law, and grand children
who gathered to witness the unveiling
of the name of the camp.
Captain Johnson, in an introductory
speech, told tho history of our
camp. pointing out things1 of Interest
ancrxdW of tho'development from a
watermelon patch to a regular camp
city that we are all so proud to call
our own. After this speech, Rev,
Beckham, led the gathering in prayer.
Captain Johnson next introduced
Mayor L. I). McGrath,^of Conway,
who delivered the dedicatory address.
Mr. McGrath reminded us that in selecting
a name for our camp that we
had not to ^sort to ancient history,
for in our time within the memory of
most of those present, the committee
found a man whose life was an outstanding
contribution to the community
in which he lived, and whose example
as a leader of men, deserved
this memorial. He then gave a complete
outline of Mr. Scarborough's
life which was full of kind and noble
deeds.
At tho close of Mr. -McGrath's address,
Lt. E. K. Purnell escorted Mrs.
R. B. Scarborough to a position under
the trees, between which a rustic arch
supported the plate, forming an entrance
truly impressive and gave into
her hands a cord. At a given signal,
Mrs. Scarborough pulled the cord, unveiling
the name of our camp.

From there the procession moved
to the flag pole in the middle of our
company street where W. O. Godwin,
vice commander of the American Legion,
escorted by color bearers, Sargeant
McDonald and Corporal Romelsberger,
presented to this camp a
large flag given by the American Legion
Horry Post of Conway. There
was ah inspiring beauty in this scene
as the company of khaki clad boys,
with faces lifted upward stood at attention
and watched "Old Glory" unfurl
in the breeze.
The program was brought to a
close by Colonel Marshall in an inspiring
talk in which he told about
the life in C. C. C. camps throughout
our country and of the good they are
doing.
During the rest of the week work
in our camp has been going along as
usual. Work on the fire lane at SubCamp
No. 1 is going steadily forward.
A new crew takes over the
job each week, thus giving the retiring
ones a relief from the red bugs
and mosquitoes.
We received our fleet of trucks on
Thursday and that means steady
work in the woods now that we have
means of transportation.
The carpenters are erecting a rustic
fence along the bank next to the
road and it adds immensely to the
looks of the camp.
Captain LaMotte, chaplain for this
district, honored us with his regular
monthly .visit to our camp Thursday
Service was hold in the mess hall and
a good number of boys were on hand
After several songs, Captain LaMottc
made a wonderful talk, using for his
text the words of our Lord to Peter
"Follow Thou Me."
Our baseball team is still giving
pleasing results. They split a twogame
series with the powerful tearr
at Kingstree last week end, however
our team is still clinging to the tor
of this league. Our team meets th(
strong (Monck's Corner team thii
week and the results of these tw<
games will just about decide th<
'teague ifhampions, leaving only on<
more team for each camp to play.
Secretary Wallace and his aids ir
the department of agriculture, are already
at jvork on plans for reducing
the cotton production of the Sout)
during the next two years.
The public works administratis
last week allotted nearly $60,000,00)
for the immediate beginning of 2'
public building projects in 22 state?
None of the projects are in Soutl
Carolina.
