I n<o IW, lUinuni $2.00, pay?b^ ? jr J day", September 2.1, 1033 PLANNING A HKifFAlK When the local Po?t oT the Am.er- , ican Legion and the Camden Shnn? Ojub took over the management of j the Kershaw County Fair there may ; have hem some who doubted the abiliiy of these two organisations to make it a success; but they have already demonstrated that they can give the people of Kershaw county a groat fair, and there is no doubt but that, with the enthusiasm they have been able to engender this year they are going to make the former fairs look puny in comparison. Never, we believe, have we seen business peo' o pl0 0f Camden more wholeheartedly behind an enterprise. Not a dissents I ing voice has been raised but every- j one, with an eye single to making; the fair this year the greatest ever, has cooperated to the full extent of h?n ability* and the fine response fromft all over the county is most heartonin? Too much praise cannot be given to tfee young fellows who are behind th? fair. They have all been work- ] ing untiringly and the people, of the county will sec the result of theii Unselfish efforts. T. V, Walsh, the j general chairman, has marshaled his forces in a most efficient manner.' Not only has he worked day and * night himself, but ho has been able to get the full cooperation of every single individual here, as well as the j citizens all over Kershaw county. It is apparent that Camden Wants the1 people of the county to have a good time during the week beginning October 9, and we hope that they will j all remember that week and spend as many days as possible in Camden and j at the fair. SEES VIOLATION HERE Editor The Chronicle: Until the beginning of the NRA agitation in j our community, the barbers were j charging 15 cent's for shaves and 25 . cents for hair cuts, etc. The price of 15 cents for shaves was a "war- j time" price established by them and never reduced. Now, their Union or "organization" of some kind is seeking to saddle another boost of prices on the public under cover of the "NRA." I call attention to an answer of Mr. Frederick .1. Haskin in The State of the 20th, made to one j of his enquirers, which seems per-j tinent, as follows:"It should bo clearly understood that the NRA does not authorize a local organization to establish prices. If a business finds that it must raise j prices in order to shorten hours and increase wages, iyTnay do -.?? but or- , gani/.utions rwb>/h fix an increased price regardless ; of necessity arc liable to prosecution." This interpretation is undoubtedly j authoritative, therefore where is. the justification for the apparent profit-j ecring on the part of the barbers i organization? 1 trust the powers j will deal with the situation as seems tit. "B. Fair." CITIES RENAMED Those of us who got our smattering of political geography back in the j nineteenth century have seen much of it repealed by the changes w.hich ; have followed the World War. The map of Europe as we imperfectly, knew it is now something vastly different. The names of several of the world's most famous capitals have ; been changed, some of them twice. St. Petersburg was < hanged to Petrograd early in the World W ar, and after the n>e <>t Lenin l<> power it was culled Leningrad, and so remains. Norway's capital. Christiana, reverted to am .l ilt name of Oslo. Pekin .?r Peking was changed to Peiptng. Tr.e eai favorite spelling test. < i?n-tan.t ir.oplc, has been abolished, and thai Turkish city, no longer the capital. is known as lstambtil, after dis. arding at various times its .oi.i.m n.tincs of Stamboul, Byzaiue, Byzantium, etc. But we needn't worry. There is no likelihood that our own Washington will be changed for a long time to >0me.?Monroe Enquirer.

IP.---This city, the seat of the national government, is a paradise for taxpayers, although some here do not realize it, and others ignore or minimize the tremendous benefits received. There are in force here such Federal taxes as apply to the entire country, but in addition there are practically no other or extra taxes, such as are levied to a great extent it), various ways in the different states. There is no local income tax, no inheritance tax antl.no tax upon any form of tobacco or upon rjiny luxury. The license tax is exceedingly low upon all forms of business and upon oeeupatiops. The tax upon real estate and personal property for a number of years has been seventeen mills oij the dollar, and during this fiscal year it has been reduced to fifteen mills, due to the reduction in expenditures under the economy program. There is here of I course no state, county or township I tax, such iis must be borne by poopte in the states, and upon the whole the local tax burden is, it may be said, ridiculously low. The inhabitants counter by saying that they have no stAte government, but they do not | qeed any, and thyy get advantage of the. very lo.w tdx rate. There tire other advanthggS enjoyed, among, wkb-h may be mentioned ,the fact that tirff books are furnished free to pupils in the primary and high schools, and the transit companies are required to transport school children at a greatly reduced rate, about onethird of the regular charge. For u long period Congress appropriated out of the Federal funds an amount to'equal one-half of the taxes necessary, and that practice continued until II >22 when the Bbderal portion was cut to two-fifths. That continued for a few years, since which there has been appropriated a lump sum, tnis year amounting to $7,775,000. That amount is very ? liberal, considering the fact that the city is spreading in extent, the population increasing and property values also increasing at a steady and rupid ratf. Senator William K. Borah, of Idaho, is one of the ablest men in public life. He has trained with the progressives and has never opposed the national nominees of the Republican party; at least he has* not done so openly. In 1D2K he campaigned actively for Hoover, and rendered great service, but it was not many moons before he regretted having done so. Recently he was asked whether he believed the Republican party was down and out for good, or. whether it could come back. He replied that the party ttfbUld come back into po.wer, but that it would have to be purged of the old control, which the people regard with suspicion as the tools of < the "interests." He may be right in both particulars. The party may eventually secure control of the government again, but from the present viewpoint, that contingency would seem to be a long way off. If dissension arises or an open break occurs in the ranks of national Democracy it will in the first instance be due to the question of patronage and failure to recognize duly authorized party leaders. Chairman Farley has publicly said that in making appointments preference will be given to those who supported Roosevelt before the Chicago nominating convention. Take Massachusetts for example, long a rock-ribbed Republican state, but which now has a Democratic governor, and the. two United States senators are of" the same political faith. After Roosevelt was nominated, Senator David Walsh, a power in the state, labored strenuously for the national ticket, although before the convention he had suppo:te?i AI Smith. It now seems that the -emitor and other high officials are practically ignored by the adniini-t latum, and it is said that actually .lame- lb? -e\c!t, a -on ot the pre.-i ier.t and a re.-ident of Massachusetts, i vo-.r.g mar. with pi act icaliy no poiiai -'ar.img, excu se- more intlooncc and weight in the state than ii.% one cl-e. Such a condition is nilfoltur.ale. and indicates a rather small and -pitefu! course of action. Scheduled to take place in New York this week is the trial of James I Davis upon the charge of vio.ation of the Federal law concerning the interstate transportation of lotte:y tickets in connection with a i fraternal organization of which *he ' was the head. Davis is now a United I State- Senator from Pennsylvania, to which position he was elected three year- ago. Prior to that he had been in tne President's cabinet, as isecre'arv i'i Ioibor. having commenced his career in national politics in that poit i ia the Harding cabinet in Pd'Jl lasting through the-Coolidge administration a!?o, and into that ol ......... i .1 auditcin to Davis ther< C . , , , r .... c j.. cve-u-iy been t..ed up n .rim ..... . m. : .? o: ?

Harry M. I*augherty who was appointed Attorney General b> Maiding escaped conviction by the case against him being dropped at't?r a mistrial. Such a record of three men out of ten members of the cabinet mentioned has probably never been equalled in any country, civii./.ed or uncivilized, ancient or modern, fn high official life. Compliance Board, Has Been Organised Tho local N. K. A.' compliance board ha* been organised for ('??>' den and vicinity. This committee consisU of Dr. John W. Corbett, a* chairman; Mrs. JR. B. Pitts, L. A. Wittkowsky, J. B. Cureton, J. K. Robinson, Sam Kuresh and NV. L. Goodale. secretary. % The duties of the N. K. A. compliance board shall be education, conciliation and mediation in handling Complaint* of noncompliance with the president's agreement Petitions for exceptions under par-, agraph 14 of the president's agreement Petitions for permission to operate on the longer hour schedule of existing union contracts, instead of the maximum hours of the Presidents agreement. All complaints concerning noncompliance with the President's agreement or industrial code should bo in writing, signed and duly mailed to the Chamber* of Commerce. These complaints will be given proper attention by the authorities in Washington after a rOport Of the committee, should the committee not be able to conciliate or mediate the matter complained of. It should be Understood that all future complaints of non-compliance should be submitted to the N. A. compliance board. Anyone wbo is now displaying^he Eagle, is presumed to be complying with the President's agreement, until the -Ragle is taken away from him by competent Federal authorities, Humors injurious to the N. It. A. members should be dispensed with and the proper thing to do is to "bring the complaints with the facts which support the same to the local compliance board and not report a suspicion io neighbors. The N. It. compliance hoard is the local representation, of the National Recovery Administration and it is not afTiliated with any other organization. A NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER He manufactures a new product every day. If he prints a poor picture or a bride he has to apologize to nature, the bride, the groom and parents and friends on both sides. If he overlooks printing all tne details of little Jimmie or Mary Doc's party their mothey stops the paper arid accuses him of playing politics. If a new firm moves to town ^he is the first to introduce them to (Sio community and if they go broke, he is first and usually the biggost creditor to lose. If he sides with the Drys, he is dubbed an ally of the spft drink interest by the wets; if he sponsors the cause of the Wets he is accused by the drys of being an ally of the browcr. . , If he is an optimist he is accused of ballyhooing prosperity; if he is a pessimist he is accused of retard.ng progress. After battling for?years for an important project the community finally gets it. he is gracious enough to stop aside and give the glory to some public servant; then he goes gunning tfT something else. If he prints a picture of the Smijfli Brothers exhibiting their neweat cough-drop delivery-truck, he is immediately pegged by othar advertisers as playing favorites; if he doeiaJ^ print the picture he is in bad with the Smiths. * If he prints the truth, he loses friends and advertising; tf he doesn't print the truth he loses prestige and distinction. If he gets rich he's just plain lucky.?Kernel Cobb in The Chattanooga News.

PLAYING i ll ! ; GAME Many rules for the government of Ionian conduct have been laid down, ^ mid nil of them have been brpken. Still, it isn't a bad idea to think about Bomy of them occasionally, and if possible give the ainsible ones a trial. An exchange prints a few, attributed to Walter JohiiHon, famed base- j ball pitcher and manager, and while they particularly apply to the game are equally applicable to the game of life in general. Johnson says: I "Play fair; be on tjie level. "Have respect for 'discipline. "Never alibi fpil^bil'dre; accept the breaks of the game as they come. j "Grit your teeth and bear down when things look toughest. "Don't criticize fellow players. "Live cleanly.
