Depression llel|>ed Business Ethics Has the depression improved business ethics in the United States? John T. Klynn, author and lecturer on business and -economic subjects, believes that it has. He notes a decided change for the better during the !u.-L four years in an article appearing in the current Rotarian Mag-| a/.inc. tlie first place," says Mr. Klynn. "the universal disaster which has shaken the world has brought us face to face with our imperfections. Business men have seen with appalling disillusionment the relation between our economic collapse and Jour bad ethics. Certain unethical banking and investment practices of pre-crash days, he continues, have been discarded and banned in financial circles, and in their place have arisen new theories and standards, brought about by the pressure of public opinion, and adopted willingly by bankers. "In the meantime, .-omo prograss has been made in consolidating into | United States inw th?* gains in public i opinion upon these important ethical relationships. To name but a few of these: !

Orint, editor of The j Vorkville Enquirer, with his coworker, I/ewiu M. Grist, were interested visitors ht The Chronicle on! Washington's Birthday. They camel down for the races and Mr. Grist in1 hi# "Just-A-Rolling Along Column,"I tells of his trip down here in issue! of the '40th, of that interesting paper j in the following manner: "At the suggestion of my friend, j Mr. Henry Miles, editor of The Camden Chronicle, I last week received! a couple of "Press Tickets" through I the courtesy of Mr. Harry D. Kirkover, for- the Camden Hunt Races at Camden on Washington's birthday, under the ausipces of The Camden' Hunt. Mr. Kirkover, as I under- j stand, is the man behind the Hunt! Club thut is the motive power that i is making the Washington birthday! and other races at Camden the really ; big events that they are. "Never having seen real horse racing, but a lover of good horses, I decided to go down for the event. I^jwis M. Grist agreed to go and of course that made it easier. We left Yorkville1 at 12:-10 p. m., and at 2:20 we were in ( amden, u little late, for the races, which began at 2 o'clock, but in plenty of time to see several of the events. e went out to the v race course and parked our car after first hav-! ing secured a couple of programs. I 1 hen walked over to the club house, or office where things seemed to be centered for a bit immediately after! the race that had just been conclud-! ed. This was "The Steeplechase,"! about iwo miles, in which there were1 five entries, which had been won by "Rocky Shore." "There were upwards of 1,000 peo-1 pie out for the races. It was a colorful crowd of men and women, young | folks and elderly folks, and all of; them out to enjoy the races. It was1 a fine looking, prosperous, well setup looking lot of folks. There were many South Carolinians in the big crowd, but perhaps the visitors to t amden, folks who spend their wintei s there, and others who came, from other resorts especially for the races, predominated in numbers. "The women were there in fully a- many numbers as were the men, and they were just a*-' keenly enjoying the race events as wcrt> their brothers, if not more so. And too, the women, if one just listened in on the casual conversations, know their horses and their running records. There was plenty of betting on the1 various races. Mo, I don't think there' were any very heavy wagers made?j just a dollar, or two or three or four or five, perhaps. Ji|st enough to I make it interesting. Bookmakers1 were there in numbers, either stand-J ing at their beards on which was , chalked up the names of the race' entries, together with the odd.- a! which thov were accepting wager.-' on the results of the races, or solicit- | ing wagers about the crowd. Business uns brisk enough to make it more or less interesting to the bookmakers, and equally so to the bet-' jters when, and if. they happened to j pick a winner. Of course the touts' were there?fellows who here and i there were giving "inside tips" or. the' I w iliners to be.?some of which 'inswere good and some not so good. I "Ihi.s belling lui-ine-- ? Folks will I bet on tiie ponies, and while here in (South ( aroiitia we are not supp<?.-e?i I t" bet motley on horse racing, i: ii ".I't.c ,u-i tr.c -ante.

"Ihi.- lace track at Camden i- a good one. At least 1 should say it is. It covers ar. immense field and the outside course is perhaps two miles round, and every f,?ot of it can be seen from any point, so that one has a view of the running ponies all the way around the course. "lr. all that big crowd of folks, a' very striking thing was that there; wa- no drinking going or.. If there! whs a person on the race track! grounds who had had more liquor | than he ought to have had, then I; didn't see him or her. No. I didn't' *?.v there was no drinking. There | might have been; but certainly there were none who were intoxicated. Everything was on his or her good behavior, in a good humor, congenial, talkative and interested in the races! It was a crowd of folks of evident good breeding, intelligence, education ?just high type Americans who I i I know their jvay about and how to | get the most <w life in the every clay j | going around. "The fir at race I haw waa the i I "Washington's Birthday Plate." two and a quarter miles over timber?j barriers. There were four entries for j this race and all of the horses looked fit and good. The event was won 1 by "Hotspur 2nd," owned by Mrs. W. A. Wadsworth and trained by Harry I), Kirkovetr and ridden by ?Stuart Janney. Of course 1 didn't know anything about the fine points of steeplechase racing, but it was a thrilling sight to see those four horses going around the course, and jumping the hurdles as they came to them, going over with real grace as if it was all in the day's work, uqd 1 just wondered at the patience of the trainers thut made such racing; possible. The training of horses for i races of that kind would require an abundance of patience, knowledge of , horses, the technique of a jumping horse and a dozen other things before the horse would be made fit to i enter such a race, and certainly those < animals had been trained to the . steenth degree. < "The fourth race was "The M u 1 beriy," with eight entries. This was over "brush," thereby meaning, if you do not know, that the barriers were made of green brush, ubout four feet high, I should judge. It was a nice looking hunch of horses as } they were lined up at the starting c point. All the horses, tho lean," look- j ed fit for the two miles of going. j "All went well until almost the fin- t ish, the third to the last brush. I ] believe it was. It was then that ill j fortune stepped out and spoiled what t otherwise would have been a splendid ] afternoon of racing. "Wrack Bri- f gade," a young horse, with E. Jennings up, and owned by Mrs. T. H. c Somerville, lacked just a few inches t of clearing the tree tops, tripped rind \ fell with a terrific thud, his left hind 1 leg doubling under him and snapping ?. j .st above the hock. A second later, "Play Boy" also tripped and fell and j \u- so badly injured that he with j t "Wrack Brigade" hail to be shot.! I Then a third horse in this rare at' t *.' > -ame harrier, suffered an injury.) :: - ;> -cat ir.g his right shoulder. This j may recover from the injury,' .' I op.ne that he will never be an ^ Mi v i?: any more steeplechase, ' a..:-. I1 "The.-e accidents and the necessity , 1 f shooting two of the splendid ani-. nulls valued at several thousand dol-1 1 iars. brought forth many exclama- ^ tons of sympathy for the dumb * brutes and cast more or less of a * shadow over the entire event. "The race in this case was won by ' "The Stag," owned by Richard Mel- * Ion. of Pittsburgh, Pa. ( "The fifth race was perhapn the * most exciting?that is it was excit-1( ing at the finish. This was over tim- 1 ber? wooden barriers. It was two j' miles and -was for horses that had'1 not been winners in other races. To- 1 wards the end of the race with the J leaders well in front, several lengths, 1 the next horse's rider suddenly drove his mount to his limit of speed and 1 in a few feet more would possibly j 1 have won the race; and almost it ap- i [ pearcd that the winner had to stick " out hi.- tongue to be declared the 1 winner. "The -ixth race had five entries', and a- a "Mat race." no barriers, six and a half furlongs. This was won by Mr.-. I.. A. Park-' "R<*yal Thorn as." with "Bally Stratford," a close second. That ended the racing after two and a half hours, and everybody ( concerned appeared lo have enjoyed the a!ternoi n of -port of that kind. "1 he next hig racing event is to be staged at Camden on March doth ?SatUMiay. 1 heard Friday that there, are already so many entries for this, la-' ra, ir.g event ot the -eason that it is possible there may be two days of racing ?fth and dOth. Perhaps' 1 may go for ore day. as 1 like to see the ponies get along. "Not the least interesting thing tome about the event was the fact that there were visitors in Camden for the races from almost every state east of the Mississippi. I noticed ears with tags from Ontario. Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York. Hauptmann's state, Pen-, nsylvunia. Indiana, Maryland. Delaware, Ohio. Illinois, Kentucky, Vir- i ginia, Tennessee, CJeorgia, North Car-j olina. They were there from all over. South Carolina. Harry Henry. Frank McElwee. Oates Stroup and Edmund Ford, were there from Clover; Dr.' Roy Sumner, Mr. and Mrs* A. Wes-; tergaard from Rock Hill. "After the races we went down anil spent an hour with Mr. Niles, who is just up after a spell of five months on his back. He is just now getting' hn his feet again, and had been out, to the races and enjoyed them. We had quite a pleasant chat, talking j of the races, shop and politics and, one thing and another, interesting to all of us. "Mr. Niles reminded me that polo games are played in Camden every Sunday afternoon and invited me to come and see one of those games and Blaney Man Dies On Visit To Mother Funeral services for Edward T. Sanders, 40, of Jacksonville, Fla., who died Tuesday ai the Columbia hospital, were held at 11 o'clock today from the Union Baptist church at Blaney, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. W. S. Cromer.

Starved Animals Did The Work St. Paul, Feb. 28.?Three scrawny lead of stock tethered on the state louse lawn just outside Governor loyd B.

They accomplished in two hours what appeals of 50, 00 farmers whose cattle were dying rom lack of feed had not been able o do in six weeks. Legislators took me look at the lean underweight Hereford cow, the black, rib-pitted lorse and the grunting, shivering hester white pig, one-third normal >ize, then went into session and vot?d a half million dollars immediate ippropriation. The senate passed the "eed bill unanimously immediately after convening. The house, when ,t met this afternoon, delayed action for the moment, but the popular measure was certain of passage. Six former fire horses of the Kansas City fire department, after spending the past 15 years pulling plo.ws and mowers in a city park, have been pensioned and sent to the zoo to spend the last of their years on exhibition along with camels and zebras.
