The season at Camden is now under
way and in g"ood style, too.
The hunting sot/v and the winter
colony are almost all here and there
are more owners of horses und gentle'
men riders in town than ever before
at this time of year.
? . ' \ '
Camden an<i Aiken have within the
last day or two definitely arranged a
joint program of sports which should
make this one of the most ibrilllant
seasons here in some time.
The first c'vnt of interest to ho^enun
throughout the country will be
the annual Hunter Trials under the
auspices of the Camden Hunt, which
will be held as usual on February 21
on the hunter trial course at Spring- i (
dale, just* outside, of Camden. The '
following day? Washington's birthday, I (
the Hunt race season of the country ,
will open here at Camden, on tjie ^
historic Springdalo course, with a
program of brush, timber and fiat
races. This, race course is now quite (
generally regarded as one of the best 1
Hunt race courses in the United
States. . v ,
On Saturday, March 17, ?he jnterest
of the followers of the horse will,
be centered, nearby Aiken, where ,
on a race course recently recondis
tioned a full program of steeplechase
and flat races will be run. As usual,
the Aiken colony will compete quite
generally in the Camden races and of
course many Camden owners of thor- *
oughbreds will enter in the Ail^en "
events. * . . .. " 11
The first of the big Hunt steeple- 0
chases of the 1934 season will be. held, K
as customary, on the Springdalo ^
course at Camden on Saturday, ^
March 24, when a full program of
timber and brush races will be run,
the big event being the fifth running
of the Carolina Cup, a three-mile
steeplechase over timber, in honor of
Thomas Hitchcock, of Aiken. This
race annually attracts the best
steeplechase horses of the country,
and the prospects this year are for
the biggest field 4n. thp history of the
Cup. ?
Another event which always attracts
much interest is the annual
Capiden Ilorse Show which will be
held probably March 21 and 22, the
week of the Carolina Cup.
* ?
A recent letter to the "New York
Times" raises the interesting question
of when the celebrated remark
uf the Governor of North Carolina
to the Governor of South Carolina,
which is now of more significance
han ever, was fitfst made.
Our historical department is coniucting
extensive researches into this
nooted question, and we hope soon
,o be able to present the result of
heir interesting labors to our readers
... In the meantime, any infornation
on this momentous subject
vhich South Carolinians, or North
Carolinians, may be good enough to
end us, will be much appreciated and
riven a place t>fxhonor in this Column.
Newspaper men?and all those inerestcd
in newspapers, which means

aspiration from reading the address
n the "Philosophy of Journalism"
iven Monday evening at Yale by
'arl W. Ackerman, dean of Columia's
School of Journalism.
In speaking of the work of the
press during the last few years, I
Dean Ackerman said; . ' ,
"This journalistic alertness^ which
springs from a philosophy of journalism,
has made the hewspaper what it .
has been throughout the depression^- j
the focal point of national interest, 1
the proving ground of public opfhion, i
the central" agency of public under- i
standing, the chief unofficial activity .
which held the njktion together in a 1
crisis." The. Chronicler. ^ ' j
