Price per annum 12.00, payable in advance. Friday, September 1. 1933 What does the Blue Kagle stand for to lis? An emblem showing our willingness to do our part in hasteni[>g tin., recovery of our norma! national life. That is what it is t?? the countless citizens of this vast country. Sco'iVs of messages are received daily at headquarters in Washington saying "we ure ready to go, tell us wlhut to do,;' ?-nd this little community of Camden has shown its willingness by an almost unanimous signing of the pledge to cooperate and work together in sympathy and good will for the welfare of our beloved nation, iiy 1 ,abor Day we expect to be ready to march with the mighty army of American citizens* who will sustain our President in his effort to break down this business depression and make our people once more able to enjoy their right to "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness." A recent editorial in The Charlotte Observer \warns us: "It is necessary if the virtues of this enterprise are fully to be realized and understood, that the emergency and urgency of this movement be; grasped. It is no plaything, no sentimental claptrap, that has been originated for emotional purposes alone. In a very vital sense, the economic destiny of America is involved and to the extent to which the people of this lU'public respond to tile recovery program is proportioned the ultimate end of this dramatic movement, whether it shall terminate a- all patriots are hopeful or whether it -ha!!*!'.n! to reach its major objtctivi, certj^n it is that witn<>ut the fullest unity of .-.pint and effort and energy it cannot triumph to a desirable degree."

Cnless 1is diffeii nt from all. iceent yeai-s baited In Id- in tins and all tlie countie-. of the state have been prepared for the slaughter, duns have been denned and oiled and .shells have been purchased. W hen the sun rises Friday the fu.-ilade of death to the doves will Is-gin. The baiting of fields is against the laws of South Carolina. It has been so for many years but hunters disregard the law and game warden* often appear to be lamentably deaf. No doubt it will be so this year. We shall see. Hunt. r- ulo> shoot in baited fields i annul be called sport-nu n in the ti'tn- sense of the word. Sportsmen believe in the square deal, in giving the qumiy an even break. Not so with the : mtel'v who Will Violate the lav, hy_>if*" t ing i" baited fields n* \t Friday. They have placed food lor the dove- aid invited them to tile fea-t ~'T death. Ill -oiiu of those fields perhaps as many as a dozen gun- will be i oaring a- long a- the dove, aio bo hi enough t-> come in seaf-ch of the food | laced to decoy them. The hunter cares little for the young birds whom he robs of parent*. What if they are left in the nest to starve? He has the pleasure of counting his dead and the satisfaction of knowing that his aim is as steady as it was lust year or the year before, lie does not consider the birds that are wounded and manage to escape from the field to die in some secluded.spot. The wounded birds which he captures got "thumbs down" from him. The appeal in their innocent eyes does not impress him.

Capital Observations (Special Correapoivtlence) Washington, Aug. v/iWh?The National Capital I'ark anil Planning Commission is charged with the duty of preserving forests and natural .scenery in ant) about Washington-preventing the pollution <>f the streams, developing the parks, and preparing and maintaining a comprehensive, \ consistent and co-ordinated plan for \ the national capital and its environs. [The chairman of the commission is i Hon. Frederic A. Delano, an uncle of j President Roosevelt. Mr. Delano wa> I connected with the commission long j before his distinguished nephew bej came prominent in national politics. In In.st vycck's Chronule there appeared an article headed "Stevenson Target for t'apital Scribe," in which while there is no charge affecting intugiity ol admuujiU'utiou, a belabored attempt is made to ridicule and besmirch the chairman of the Home Loan Hank Roard, and also the secretary. The article originally appeared in the Washington Herald, a paper owned by the notorious William Randolph Hearst, whose publications are generally covered by the designation "yellow." tln fact, the term "yellow journal" was first applied to Hearst's New York Journal. In a previous item which was printed in The Chronicle it was explained that the chairman of the Hank Board had incurred#tho ill will if not animosity of certain newspaper writers, , land an explanation was made' conjee rni rig the'same. It is an unfortu- ; ! nate fact regarding the freedom of , . the pics.-, that correspondents have a | ' wide field in which to ventilate ven- | oiii when >o disposed, and get away j 1 with it. The history of. men in pubj 1,. life in full <'1' such incidents and' j unfortunately such attacks are as a rule confined to the yellow press. In the article referred to reference imade t" the secretary of the Hank . ! Ib.ard a- "two-job Hutch," and wh\ , lie was brought into the matter is j I not apparent.'' Jn the strained effort , j at >ai ca -m the raWst sensible state- , merit i- contained ir> the following t i.em: "No one calls him that hc-re j in Washington, id* course. He is tne . Hon. A. K. Hutchinson, and he is , J Seaboard Hill's r ight hand man down , ,in the Commerce building. There is ] ? something about 'Two-job Jlutch.' his | j size, may fie. or his air of importance. | j that, would restrain you from using j I iiis nickname even it you know. it. ' It is eminently true that an attempt ted reflection upon Mr. Hutchinson j would be made ->nly itt long distance. , Last Saturday Texas voted heavily < j in favor of the repeal <>f the prohibi-L [ten amendment, and the unkindest L cut of al! is that Texas is the home}, of Senator Morris Sheppard. co-au- , thor of the amendment.

KELLEY, LIKE MANY, WILL VOTE FOR REPEAL Editor The Chronicfe:?Plea?e tfive Apace for a few comments on an article which appeared in the Columbia Record of August 24 written by Mr. Henry Mayor Havird of Newberry, on the repeal of the eighteenth amcndment. I don't know the gentleman but I would like to shako his nand. He has written the most sen- J sible article on the issue that 1 ever; have seen. He gives the facts j straight from the shoulder and I want to commend him for it. Every, one won't vdo it, did you know it. Now, 1 am on record in KershawJ county as a dry, but 1 am tired of the j forty-eight states of the American, union whipping the devil around the stump. John Calhoun was as g?od a man us South ,Carolina ever produced and what was his hobby it it was not "states rights and local selfgovernment?" Thomas Jefferson was asked the question once and his reply was in regard to Democracy that it "was nothing more than the will of the people expressed or implied." I.'expect to vote to repeal the eighteenth amendment and think I am doing right. Let the other fellow do what ho .thinks best. What happened in Washington a, few years ago: Fifty-two thousand gallons of fine liquor went out of the warehouse between taking of stock, and Mr. Mellon, with the key in his pocket, anil he said he knew nothing about. And he was as good a prohibitionist ns some* we have 1 expect. Now tome say why not repeal the Iftw igain.-t killing. H're is the difference: The officers of the law en-j force the law against killing, but the moT of them let the man who sell- j ,(1 That is the difference. Newton Kelley Logoff.

Others, think . t is none of' the ptfper s business. i The first view has hud its weight. The second none at all. because it :*\ the paper's province, and furthermore the records are open to a.!. Where a man was once, for a small) ommunity. well-to-do and independent. and was hard hit by evil winds. is natural that his heirs prefer as mkh secrecy as possible.

A o 1 i- ; ..Mock this afternoon at Arra i-ia leg on Ha.l Mob Tries To Lynch Lee C6unty Negro At an early hfAir Monday morning, groups of men might have been seen oh Main street. Something had evidently happened out of the ordinary. So the reporter of this paper investigated and found out that in the early hours of Monday morning, before the cocks crowed for day the county jail had been visited by strangers who had important business in hand. It seems that about a week ago a white man ami his wife, who live in the Schrock's Mill section of Lee county, anil whose name is Davis, were brutally attacked and beaten with some kind of iron instrument. The man was called out of bed and left the house. Not returning, his wife, Mrs. Davis, got up and went out to investigate. She was hit and knocked down in the dark. She did not knuvv who hit her, whether white or black, but later it was found out that a negro man named Willie Rich, did the4attacking. Just what was the cause of the attack is npt known to this writer. The matter seems to have been kept rather qyiet. The sheriff's office made the 'turest aruI the man was put in the county jail. Monday morning about D.45 the jail was visited by masked men numbering variously from 40 to 75. The purpose of the visit was to take the prisoner from jail and no doubt lynch him. On demanding of the jailor s wife, he not being at home, they were told the prisoner was not in jail but had been carried away. It happened that Sheriff Scarborough got wind that a visit would be made Saturday night and he moved his prisoner to some place we know not of. After investigation the masked men found that the bird had flown the cage and they quietly got in their ..ears and as quietly left town for jheir homes. Just where these masked men came from and where they went no one can tell, but suffice it to say, that only a slip in plans which put the sheriff wise to the intended, visit prevented a lynching in or near feishopville. The victims of the attack. Mr. and Mr*. Davis. are reported to be in bad shape.?Bishopvillc Messenger. The negro was brought to the C'ainden jail Sunday night by Sheriff Scarborough and was kept here unti Tuesdav when Sheriff McLeod. accompanied by Sheriff Scarborough, carried the prisoner to Columbia.
