Kendall was testifying Iwforc tin*

an.extension of a modified "NKA.
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

put oO.OiMl workers back on the job.
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. It mil-! ic! bo forgotten

will just be a looker-on in Venice and

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

Camden a pleasant place to stay, and !
have also met quite a few of the

them to be fully as fine as wore the I

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.-.

ptivileges. It was a pleasant experivnev
that I had and one much enjoyed,
though what 1 don't know about

would fill a book as big as an unabridged

I didn't get my biggest kick of the

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."

' <>". 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. T?
the principal event of the day; fti
much in a town where the conr?
tions have always been observed. M
then that's no affair of mine.
