Simultaneously, a petition railing upon the pre.vi<trni to remove trie processing tax was signed by fortysix house members in the first, two hours <?f its circulation. Kendall turned to the textile situation unexpectedly whm questioned by committee members. lie read a memorandum he fad Mjbnnt.ted to President Roosevelt. in which he t<dd the pre-nlent the piece sing lax was inu-ii.g -o much buycr resistance that the indii-try Mud reached the realm <*f dimini hug iv t III IIS. lie urged that the pi o< esMiig lax of $ I lib,noo,(Mid a >eai be rai-ed from some <>!|,?. s??ui.e and m nui\iti I roin 1 i j e t i t!?< n mill.-.

KcndaM.-testifyir.fr in a caim voice, told the committee, "tin* whole textile indu-.tiy is facing bankruptcy." There was some disagreement among the New England delegation as to t la- proper procedure to be pursued with regard to the wage differentials. Some believed it might be better to postpone that, phase of the controversy and present a united North-South front for removal of the tax and protection against Japanese imports. Others contended that now was the time to attack along every possible front. One holding the latter view was] Mrs. Rogers, who declared that "it will do us no good to obtain tax and tariff relief if our mills still move away to take advantage of the lower wage rates in the South." Meanwhile, northern mill owners, having organized civic groups in the 79 textile communities of New England, with the result that their senators and house -members have been literally deluged by letters ami telegrams, planned to enlist, if possible, the mass power of the 100,000 mill operativ es. In a letter sent to all northern mills, the National Association of . Cotton Manufacturers said that "this condition is one of vital importance to every employe in every plant ami wo suggest, that through payroll in,-eits the invjxu'tanee of the processing tax as a factor in this curtailment be brought to the attention of all employes. "If, through a better undei-landing of the situation, your employes should lx-rotno sufficiently interested to take this matter up with their senators and representatives in congress, either individually or through their local eluk-. much real assistance would be giver.

Camden is, a most charming little city and has many attractions, and just now is perhaps at its loveliest, with its fresh, green leaves on trees and shrubbery and flowers of many hues to he seen on every side. And the spring affords a most delightful climate?perhaps the most genial of the year, though! it- perhaps never gets so very void I there ut any time. Have made several visits to Camden the last twelve months and all of them have been most pleasant. Have met quite a large number of Camden's natives, all of them hospitable, congenial folks thai speak the language of good will ami cheerfulness and happiness and contentment. Havel taken .several i ides over the town and j had the pleasure of seeing many of) the beautiful winter estates of v i si - I tors from Northern climes who find Camden a pleasant place to stay, and ! have also met quite a few of the North landers, and as expected found them to be fully as fine as wore the I ( anal en natives to the manner born. | My last \ isit was on Saturday of I last week in company with Ixnvls M.

Went down to see j 1 he ( atolina ( up Races, Sprintgdalo j Course, Camden, South Carolina, Match l!t?f)." j had received a cordial invitation from Mr. Harry l>. Kirkover, clerk of the Course,'ami incidentally about the busiest gentleman connected with the annual Carolina Races, and with the invitation came tickets of admission, a sticker for the car, a program of the day's events and a brief history of "The Carolina Cup." And had* 1 been a governor or a United States senator, 1 could not have asked for nor receiv.-. ed more courteous attentions and ptivileges. It was a pleasant experivnev that I had and one much enjoyed, though what 1 don't know about he tine points of steeplechase racing would fill a book as big as an unabridged dictionary. I didn't get my biggest kick of the affcyrnoon out of the races, though I love to see good horses and I like to see them gallop as well as does anybody, and I suspect that had 1 plenty . } (he eel skins that it requires, I would like playing the races us well as the most confirmed addict of Ciic -purl of kings?dn^rse 1 racing.

I here wore six races on Saturday the Palmetto Steeplechase, two and a half miles over timber (harriers [Of about four feet high); the Kershaw Steeplechase, two miles over ^ brush; the Carol ma Cup race, about three miles over a timber course, and Wateree, one mile and a half on the flat, no barriers; the Springdale Steeplechase, two males over brush, an<l the sixth raw, Camden Plate. The winning horses in these several events meant nothing to me. I didn't have any horse in the runnings, and I had no money bet on the races,. and more I enjoyed the seeing of the folks who were deeply interested in the results at the finish line. As quick as a flash at end of a race and the winner had been declared, or his position showed him to be a winner, it didn't take such close watching here and there to know whether this woman or that man or I the other, or a group had placed their money, much or little, on the winning horse. The faces of the winners flamed up in happy smiles like a Camulen sunrise, and the faces of those having their money on a placer in the ract.s lighted up like a morning star j "hey had gotten in the money. The j faces of the others, as they dropped j the:?' bct'ir.g slips, took on a look ! fully reib-oto'i it; the just t rie word." | damn. i <>:' io ir-.-. if there were no Ivetting ' <>". si' racing there woii.i Ik not o much home racing, generally j - peak.r.g. but 1 am quite sure that, i the Camden, winter homesteaders, are [ t ot hacking these races on this wonderful track, for the money they j might get front their winning horses. 'It is real sport with them, ami to | win. to be first at the post, with a 1 runner from his or her stable is of ; decidedly more importance and more thrilling than the mere fact that the j horse t hey entered had won a purse. Now let's take a stroll around ami ' see some of the things to he seen and 'heard, .lust after a race, whether it! , was the second or third doesn't matter, a well dressed young chap pa us -1 cd by my side. He was excited. "See that man there, (indicating) he's just pulled down $'2.(>(K> on that race." 1 was only slightly interested. By that time we had gotten almost up to the winner." The young man continued, "If 1 could just make a real win in the next race. Lot's ask him to give us a tip on the next race." Still I wasn't interested so much. "Say. let | me congratulate you on your lucky' ; pick," said the young fellow. The older man looked pleased and : with an expression as much as to say, j "I always pick winners." The youngster made a bold bid for information i on the next race. "Well, I knew that j horse was going to win. Ill give you fa tip on the next one; but you must I promise not to tell anybody. I would be put right oft the course." "Sure, I'll not tell," the young man said. The tipster turned to me as the young fellow slipped 'ham a $20 bill, "Have you any money to bet on the next race," he asked. "No," I replied, and neither of the pair had further interest in me, nor I in them. The bookmakers were plying their I game open and above board. It was no business of mine. It \yas as open as if it, had all the sanction of the laws of the commonwealth. No parimutuel law is needed in Camden. Judged by the betting going on for each race, there are no hard times, no depression, no FERA in that crowd of 15,000 or more. A*nd strange, or possibly it I is not strange, I should say that two| thirds of the bets placed were by women'?young ones and older ones; i but with most of their placing on the I por.ies in small amounts. There must have been 3,000 automobiles parked within the race course grounds. They were there from all over the country ea.-.t of the Mississippi. They were there from Maine and intermediate suites, from Florida as well. It was a properous looking crowd of folks, happy too. all out to have a good time. A 20 second chat with Governor Olin D. Johnston. Asked him was he going to win his race with the general assembly on the highway steeplechase. "Absolutely," replied the | Governor, with an air of full faith in his declaration. He said he had | no conns <m the bottom of his feet | because of standing pat, and wouldn't have. | There was very little drunkenness in that big crowd. By that, I mean, boisterous drunkenness or the helpless kind; but there was plenty, more than aplenty of liquor drinking. It wasn't confined to young- men and ' older men. but much of it was by women and girls, ami they took it man fashion, standing up on their hind legs, in the open, out of cups if convenient; but out of flasks if the liquor was in flasks, and if not then they'd take it straight?cawn out of half gallon fruit jars, and without a chafer. j The big refreshment stand on the race course grounds was. operated by a church society?I didn't ask the name?sales included hot dogs, sandwiches, soft drinks', beer. I took It as a matter of course, the spirit of the day; but it wae not that way with some other folks. The (thought nit them was that it was all right ui proper for the church society to h running a refreshment booth to ill money for church purposes, charij most likely; but the idea of such I church organization selling W Well, that was just too much.
