r" - ^ggag Mg. .ant, ..J. . V - , THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB ROLLS CLOSE NEXT TUESDAY. YOU SHOULD ENROLL BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! The Camden Chronicle C\MDEN. SOUTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY, JULY 34, 1836 NUMBER 18 County feeple Hea* Speakers For Senate (uy the Associated Press) Thomas P. Stoney and Col. William r Kin-lire, opposing Senator James y Byrnes' renomination, , attacked centralized government in campaign speeches today and Stoney called on the junior senator to state his position on states' rights. Byrnes continued his defense of the Roosevelt administration, and answered his opponents' criticism of New Deal agricultural policies by asserting cotton and tobacco prices are now better than twice as high as they were in 1934 Stoney, former Charleston mayor, presented what be termed the federal government's encroachment upon state's rights, and warned: "It won't be long before a federal strait Jacket will regulate our school systems, our Industrial enterprises, and our labor If the gradual encroachment of the federal government on the Internal affairs of the Btates Is continued. ? CfV Both Stoney and Harllee labelled ^ ts'ew Deal policies as contrary to the "time-honored principles" of the Democratic party and what it has stood for in the past. Harllee, a retired marine official, termed the New Deal "radicals and socialists." Byrnes asserted that during the Roosevelt administration $260,000,000 in loanH and grants to fanners had given to South Carolina while the state had paid only $10,000,000 iu internal revenue policies. Stoney, with Harllee, a critic of the administration's expenditures, countered with a statement^that "Byrnes has failed to tell us how and when it Is to be paid back." Answering a charge by Stoney that South Carolina had been discriminated against In the relief wages, Byrnes said: "If the federal government offered farm laborers $60 a month, you would not get any labor done on the farm." He added that relief wages were paid according to the prevailing standards in the community, and that a representative of labor was always on the committee which drew up local pay schedules. "Today," Byrnes said, "the citizens of Massachusetts are paying Income taxes in order to pay the farmers in South Carolina under the agricultural program. For years the South and West paid tribute to New England. Now we are getting a new deal." "In most cases When you find a man claiming to be a Democrat and criti> cizing the New Deal," Byrnes said "you 11 find that his income tax has been Increased or he did not get the Job he wanted." Stoney assailed the New Deal's agricultural policies and asserted the Bankhead cotton act had been ruinous to the small Southern cotton farmers. He said that the overhead expense 1 of new bureaus In Washington would result in taxes that eventually would leave the farmer In a worse fix than that in which the New Deal found him. Harllee charged that the New Deal bad not abided by the 1932 Democratic platform and promised, If elected to do his utmost "to restore our government to operation by law Instead . of by control of the caprice of men with bizarre and fantastic schemes repugnant to every principle we have heretofore regarded as fundamental to 1 our liberty." He blamed congress and not the ' president for "failure to modify the Republican tariff," and said, "the ' abundant life will not come to the 1 ^farmer until that infamous measure : ^repealed. ' "7' " * Harllee destcrlbed "the extortion of funds from the public to pk^'tor the i deliberate destruction of crops and 1 livestock" &s "utterly fantastic." 3 Referring to the bill guaranteeing l bank deposits, which he helped draft t as a member of the senate banking ] committee, Byrnes said that if the ad- J ministration had done nothing else Its i continuance should be Justified by **et action.- 4 Byrnes said the Roosevelt adminis- i t rat ion had not only saved the farmer 1 and. the poor man, but the butltftMS < man and the banker alike when the < financial structure of the country was 1 tottering at the close of the Republi- J can regime. i ?

Final Game Of Series ?Taken By Sumter 1 Jut Bumter Legion Juniors advanced tb the quarter-finale In the state elimination rac? yesterday by defeat' log Camden, 8 to 4, In the third and deciding game of the lnter-dlatrlct series. The game was played In Lamar and attracted an unusually la^ge crowd. In addition to the big dele-4 gatlons of Sumter and, Camden supporters there were several hundred fans from Lamar and other nearby towns. The Sumter team played brilliant and well-nigh perfect ball to set the Camdenltes back on their heels. Behind the tight, six-hit pitching of DuBose, the team played errorless ball. LI more handled six chances In right field and McLaughlin five in left field. Heckle In center field, was not given a single chance. Several of McLaughlin's catches were of a sensational variety. * Sumter's Infield was equally as good. Bauman was the outstanding star in the all-star Inner-garden. He handled every chance that came his way flawlessly, his throws to first base being particularly good. Moore caught a great game for the locals and kept the Camden runners hugging the bases. DuBose hurled probably the best game of his career. Through the sixth inning he allowed only two hits and had perfect controi. In the seventh inning he was hit full in the back by a pitched ball and badly bruised. He continued in the box, however, and finished out the game. In the last two Innings he became somewhat wild but steadied down in time to prevent serious damage Camden used three pitchers in a futile attempt to halt the barrage of hits cracked out by the Qamecocks. Horton started on the mound but was shelled to cover in the second Inning. H? was relieved by W. Lynch who gave out completely in the seventh inning and the game was finished by Shirley. Camden started the game at a fast clip, putting over one run In the first frame. King walked to start the inning but was forced at second by McCaskill. McLaurin singled by first base, sending McCasklll to third. McCaskill tagged up after Robinson's long fly to left center field and scored. With one down in the second inning Sumter opened up with her big guns. Player rapped a double to center field and Bauman was safe on Robinson's error of his grounder. It was the first of four errors for Robinson, who was the start of the game in Camden Wednesday. Player romped home on an Infield hit by DuBose. Two more came in when Robinson bobbled Brown's grounder, Brown going on to second, A double by Rhodes to center field sent Brown home and Horton called it a day, W. Lynch taking hie place on the mound. He was greeted by a sharp single to center field by Elmore which sent Rhodes home with the fifth run. Sumter started playing real ball in the second inning and retired sixteen Camden batters in a row, the string finally being broken with two out in the sixth inning when McLaurin singled past third but was left on base. Camden put over single runs in each of the last three Innings. Sumter tacked on two runs in the fifth Inning without getting a hit. With one down Heckle reached first when Robinson dropped his easy pop fiy. McLaughlin walked and Player fanned, but Heckle scored on Bauman's grounder, Robinson's throw pulling the first baseman off the bag. McLaughlin went on to third and tallied on a wild pitch. The Gamecocks scored theirc eighth run in the seventh aft#f tvfo men were out. Player was safeoprhen D. Lynch dropped his pop fiy. ' Bauman then scored him with a long double to left center field. This was enough for Lynch and after some discussion the Camden coach sent Shirley to the mound to finish the game. The game was brought to a thrilling-close a few seconds after Camden scored her fourth run In the ninth. SVIth one down Horton walked and was forced at second by King MoCaskill then cracked out a long double to center field. Mclaughlin threw tiome perfectly in an effort to alp the runner and Moore came .within inches of making the patent Meanwhile McCasklll decided-to keep on to third. He started' tfWn second at a fast clip but changed his mind after running n short distance. The thing that ohanged his mind waa Moore running Halo the infield after failing to make the patent at home. With hie right ma ooeked hack for the throw, Moore advanced into the infield while McCaskill hesitated, unable to decide, which way to run. Moore finally threw to Bauman who decided to run McCasklll down and takeno chances on $. muffed ball. McCasklll set out for second with Bauman after him. Several feet from the base the speedy Bauman overtook McCasklll, tagged him none too gently on the back and sent him rolling head over heels into the dust. e Sumter is now scheduled to meet Spartanburg in a three-game series beginning Monday. Coach Phil T. Kelly is expected to send DuBose to the mound in the opening game. It has not been decided whether this game will be played in Sumter or Spartanburg.
