Hroail StioU and onlvrid at the Camden, Mouth Carolina post off leo ?? noeonit class mail matter Price per annum J- Ort, payable in advance. , Friday, Juno h, 1934 IN N OFF NT 11A V K T<> SIT FEB In a lettor to \he editor of the Camden Chronicle relative to *>upprexsing Kiot? machines, former Mayor It. M. Kennedy, .If., among other things says; "The suckers who have no better sense than to gamble on these machines probably deserve, no consideration but in many eases their families were paying the hill," That statement is worthy of study, as it gives one satisfactory argument why the slot machine should be stamped out or banished. In apito of the claptrap and sophistry to the effect that it's, in the blood of the average man or boy to venture and take a chance and that playing the slot machine is no worse than any other form of speculation that might pass muster were its addict.*! alone the ones to suffer from their folly. Hut in so many* instances their families are actually deprived of necessities^ The ix nnios and nickles that could go to that end find their way in the slot machine-with the regularity attending any fixed habit. One who is fool enough to bet on the other man's trick deserves the severest form of punishment, if for no other reason than to bring him to his senses, if ne possesses any reasoning faculties. Hut he has no right when others are dependent upon him to take his earnings, small or great, and pit them against what is characterized by the police officials of New York City "mechanical la rcehcy."?Spartanburg Herald.

Purposes and Aims Of the Communists (By Hugh Cobb) Communism bus grown in America in the last few years until now il is a many headed monster. 1 mean by that that it is organising and funt-j turning under so many names or aliases that it is confusing to the average person. Some of its names arc so misleading and high sounding that they sound patriotic, or if you please, American. The communist party for several years has maintained its Southern offices in Birmingham, Ala., and the recent riots and bloodshed around Birmingham have been traced directly to the door of this many, many named menace. Just recently there waif organized in Atlanta an organization named "Southern League for Peoples Rights." Stands for, to quote their literature, "Free Speech," "Academic Freedom." "Social and Racial Equality." 1 call your special attention to the words, "Academic Freedom." Those are the words stressed in another Communist organization, "American Federation of Teachers," which advocates that all military training in schools be abolished, that the R. O. T. C. be disbanded, that the great Roy Scout movement be done away with, and they stand for "Academic Freedom," and explain the meaning of the words to mean "full academic freedom to teach anything, including Socialism. -Communism and Atheis"m. And this organization is closely allied with A. C. L. U. (American Civil Library I'nion), which would take a whole article to describe. I have not had the opportunity to run down the life history of but two of the four officers of this "Southern League for Peoples Rights," Sherwood Anderson is chairman and Bruce Crawford is \ ice chairman. Our organization, which stands for all the great, principle.-* for which a iivic, patriotic, militant, benevolent, fraternal order -hould stand for. offers to help you rid this Southland of this thing whiclw is worse than a plague if you will cooperate. The people of the southea-I were highly i ..mpllnu nted a few days ago by the ! a 1 of one of the World War \eteran-' organization-, a resident of Min np'ii-. .Winn., when in an addiv-s V. hint a, (la., after he had ti.s. i--e.i the rl-e and effect of Coinmuni-m, turned, and with hi- face to the great audience "aid. "Communism and other anti-AmeVican 'isms' may grow and spread in other -e>tions of ur country, but I have the faith that the puie blooded Anglo-Saxon of the southeast will stop Communism's march." 1 ask again, what are you going to do about it?

The Ukra.no is a Soviet Republic, part of the U. S. S. R. WHAT A CONTRAST One of the best edited publications coming to our desk is the T.eKoy Gazette-N^wa, published in western New York. Kditor Perkins makes a cent rant between Canadian law en* forcemeat and that on this side of the border, which is very interesting: Dillinger continue? to bo an elusive desperado despite tho fact that the forces of federal, state ami civic authorities are all directed to his capture . . . Dillinger is not a creation of the years 1 and 11*34 but rather the result of a condition in our American life , . . social democracy is not all honey and cream, as wo like to think ... there are inherent weaknesses and one of them is distaste and distruct of the law . . . the "all-menare-born-equal" proposition has invited careless thinking as relates to law observance and law enforcement . . . it has bred sympathy for tho "under dog" in the administration of our system of jurisprudence . . . lawyers have played upon this sympathy anjl by the skillful manipulation of words the emotions of juries have been caused to transcend facts of equity 'and the dignity of law and order . . . it is a well recognized fact that a brilliant lawyer often secures the acquittal of his client From charges ranging from a misdemeanor up to murder . . . respect and fear of peace olFicers has been greatly lessened by the knowledge of the offender that even though he be apprehended his chances of going free in the process of trial are about fifty-fifty ... it is this trend of thought in tho minds of law violators, coupled with a certain spirit of discouragement 'borne down upon police officers through lack of convictions, that has paved the way for the Dillingers and others of his type. One has only to cross the border line into Canada to immediately sense a different atmosphere toward law and enforcement officers ... I am not thinking in terms of the Northwest Mounted Police who always "get their man." but rather of the rank and file of the officers who pound their beats in a Canadian city ju.->t as it is done in our cities . this fact was re-emphasized in my mind a lew days ago in Toronto . . . nceumpanU'd by a friend I left our hole! late in the afternoon for a '..'tie exercise before dinner . . . we were proceeding along one of the streets m the busine-.- -ection when a couple of tire trucks went clanging past us. hav ing emerged from a tire h<?u>e haif'.,a block away ... a nunti-n! later a large aerial ladder truck swung out of the building and its side came into collision with a street ear . . . two of the firemen were pinned between the truck and the street car and one of them very severely injured . . . as we approached the injured men were being carried into the fire house, awaiting the arrival of an ambulance ... it was just - the hour when hundreds and thousands of Toronto people were on their way home to dinner and naturally a crowd assembled almost immediately . . . when we arrived there were two policemen present and without touching a person or waving a club they cleared every person away from the front of t.hc fire hou-e with a frontage of perhaps a hundred feet and also from the entire street directly in front of the building and when the street car and the truck we:iv standing ... I stood on the curb ar.d marvelled that two representative of law ami order in Toronto could with -Ulh ea-e control -o many pi ;>le and tr.ed to imagine how many pol . etv.etl would have be ell ! quil'ed to have accompli-lied the -aim- thing Kov he-ti-r.

Captain Richard Pearson Hobson, 63, naval hero of the SpanishsAmerican war, has just been honored with advancement to the rank of rear admiral, and will retire on a pension of $4,500 per year.

Though finally overcome as a leader of the .prohibition forces, he was a mighty warrior on the firing line. He annihilated old Tinkham and his wet cohorts in his trial. He mowed down the opposition to his retention as Bishop at the general conference. | When-'he foolishly asked the conference to pay the expenses of his trial, he met his Waterloo. It is the old story of power risking too much, and going too far. The conference certainly didn't get him into the net of the law, and tho conference was right in not pulling him out.?Calhoun Times.
