"WAY OUT WEST" tf I * , - * HA8 THE "NUMBER8" RACKET HIT CHE8TER? It was in the city of Rock Hill Just luHt week that a colored servant said >to her mistress, "Have you been buying any of the racket numbers? i have made $42 on the numbers in the last few months." Tills colored woman who had invested about $21.00 and taken out $42.00 was one of the best walking advertisements for the gambling proposition thai anyone could wish for. Hut of course all the facts are not disclosed. It does not take an overly intelligent person to know that it is tmposible to beat these rackets year in and year out. The gamblers can win and lose, but of course those who operate the gambling devices are always the winners. The unfortunate thing about these gambling propositions is that the people who can 111 afford to lose money are the ones that usually take a chance trying to get something for nothing. And by engaging in the operations these poople take away the necessities and comforts of the home with a vain hope of securing riches in an easy aud illegal manner. Public officials cannot do a better service to citizens at large than to immediately place a heavy foot on any gambling proposition that comes to their attention. When hard earned money is thrown away to the promoters of gambling propositions it means that social service organizations must go down into their pockets and pay out good money to provide for the necessities that the gambler has failed to provide his family due to his losses.

Operation costs of the average car (gas, oil, tire and wear depreciation) total jC to 5c a mile. Greyhound fares average but a fraction over lc a mile. Saving your car for about-town service, saving yourself the strain and expense of long drives, is obviously wise and thrifty.

Hteam navigation has robbed the observation of its timeliness, perhaps, but not of its significance. "The Chamber of Commerce has. or should have, a port of destination ? a definite service to its community through the accomplishment of a specific program. Hut the going is often rough; and in spite of modern methods of organization and management, the Chamber of Commerce still operates, (for the purpose und meaning of thlH comparison at leust) under sail rather than under steam. *Th? business world generally is equipped for steam propulsion?add high-pressure propulsion, at that. Ho is the Chamber of Commerce?In theory; but In practice It Is buffeted by the winds of public neglect. It must trim sail' more often, perhaps, than private business enterprise, for the reason That there are more factors to make direct progress difficult. Kven steam vessels are often driven off their course.* Private enterprises of major importance frequently veer und tack. The Chamber of Commerce, perforce, must do likewise. "The important thing is to keep moving in the general direction of the port of destination. Only those who have never held the wheel will criticize a zig-zag course. A wise navigator will avoid storms as long as possible, and will take advantage of every favorable current and tide. The Chamber of Commerce proceeds continuously among conflicting currents. It's members, even Its directors, often do not agree on the best methods of reaching its objectives. SometimeB, indeed, they do not agree on the objectives themselves. Practices and even policies are frequently the results of necessary compromise. Without forsaking any real matter of principal, the Chamber of Commerce Is obliged to reconcile conflicting points of view; consolidate divergent opinions?steer a course, in short, that will avoid shipwreck, utilize favorable currents of public psychology, and reach port! "That does not mean (to continue the mnrine metaphor), that the ship must always run to cover. It must be so timbered and manned that It ?an go fearlessly into a storm whon such a course is wise and necessary. 'I he object of the mariner is to reach his port quickly?but in safety, with all hands and a full cargo aboard. Sometimes this means that he will tack and veer; sometimes that ho will run before the wind; sometimes that he will go ahead into the hurricane. At sea, it's a matter of navigation.- In the Chnmber of Commerce it's a matter of horse sense. "I have been asked to speak on matters that carry a certain degree of relation between the Chamber of Commerce and the city affairs. I feel perhaps that I would cover whatever objective your club leaders are seeking from my office if I were to discuss briefly the major program of our 19S7' activities. "In the first place, let me take up the Industrial angle. It Is the purpose of the Chamber of Commerce'to footer the home industries rather than to spend time and money In battering against the stone wall of location changes for other Industries. I might say that we have not been at all backward however in getting after new industries and have been fortunate to make contact with some really worth while concerns who contemplated a change of location. "Now from the commercial angle. It is our purpose to promote activities among our retail concerns with a view of widening and expanding our retail territory. It is our purpose to drive home the truth that Camden is the trading center of Kershaw county. "Wo are hopeful that the summer will see the realization of our dreams for an improvement iti merchandising conditions. (if course wo want to foster every project that will add to the benufifleation of our city. Camden is beautiful in many ways but there Is still plenty of opportunity for some honest conscientious clean-up work I most sincerely hope that wo will witness a generous application of paint on some of our buildings nnd dwellings this summer. "We will of course foster activities that will develop our tourist and resort possibilities, in this commotion let me state that we hope to isJie a booklet that will be dignified and att ractive. "It is also our purpose to continue any and all activities which tend to maintain an understanding between all groups and elements of tie ' city and to secure the widest possible cooperation in furthering the int. rests of Camden in general. We stiess most emphatically a spirit of local patriotism, civic pride and loyalty. "Last but not least, along (In lines is the development of the cit\ ,,s a j < onventjon oily May I trespass upon your * m.- to j ask for the tn-lp of your organization ! members in our campaign to < heck 'In* evils of promlsclous solicit in-: of , peddlers and hawkers in Camden A recent survey of the National Hotter Business Bureau shows that in 1936 over 52 per cent of the money paid out in the form of donations, memberships and unprofitable advertising went into doubtful, questionable or purely fraudulent schemes "From time to time we have called the attention of the Chamber mnm. but a UlHl IRe Camden public to various promotional schemes, having to do with memberships in new organ! zutioiut, or with contributions to your books, ^programs, ca?h and merchaudlae dona^na uud the like.

We uaed to tell time by the moon, pow we have a aplit aecond watch. Formerly a man would wait around two or three duya for a atage coach, but now he geta mad if lie miaaea one of the leavea in a revolving door. A man In San Francisco coined a new word?"Immedlatlam," which he said waa the cardinal aln of the American bualneaa man. They have no patience to wait for results. Did you ever consider that the men who break speed records aren't going any place? "And then there must be perseverance Faith and tenacity will be needed. There will be disillusions, and many will fall by the wayside. I have seen affairs atarted where the llrat meeting waa so big that it bulged out the walla, but the aecond meeting could be held In a telephone booth. Many lose interest after the moment of Inspiration la past. There will be aome failures. What of it? "The truth may lose battles but It never lost a war.". Confucius said, "The dark clouds paaa, but the blue heavens abide." There la no shame In falling down?the shame Is in not getting up again. The only thing that can't fall down la a worm, and It can't get up either. As soon aa It does It is evolved Into something else. The history of the world was made by men who didn't know when they were licked. In a recent interview General F"och said: "No general ever lost a battle until he believed he had lost it." This Is a great thought to keep in our minds, that we are never licked until we admit It to ourselves. One of the most dramatic events Iro all history Is described by Muehlback in his life of Napoleon. At the battle of Marengo, Napoleon who had been misled by false Information, saw his army about to be cut In two, and believing defeat certain, turned to a drummer boy and commanded him to beat the Retreat. The boy replied. "Sir. 1 do not know how. I never was taught to beat the Retreat, but oh! I can beat a charge that will cause the dead men to rise up and fall into line. I beat that charge at Mt. Tabor; 1 beat it at the Bridge of Lodl; 1 beat it at the Pyramid. Oh! Sir, may 1 not beat it here? Napoleon. impressed by the boy's enthusiasm. ordered him to beat the charge and the rout was changed to a victory and. Napoleon made the master of Italy. It is the dauntless spirit of the drummer boy at Marengo that builds nations and cities, and turns seeming defeats into victories at the finish. In a horse race the start Is important, but they pay off the bets at the finish. What is said to be the world's greatest short poem was written by John Trot wood Moore: " 'Tis the coward \\ho quits to misfortune, 'Tis the knave who changes each day,, Tis the fool who wins half the battle And throws all his chances away. "There Is little in life but labor, Tomorrow may be but a dream; Success is the bride of endeavor, And luok but the meteor's gleam. "The time to succeed is when others Discouraged, show traces of tire; The battle is fought in the home stretch. And won 'twixt the flag and the wire." THE DOG I've never known a dog to wag His tail in glee he didn't feel, Nor quit his old time friend to tag At some more influential heel. The yellowest cur I ever knew Mas, to the boy w"ho loved him true. I ve nexer known a dog to show Halfway devotion to his friend, rI o seek a kinder man to know, Or richer, but unto the end The humblest dog I ever knew Mas. to the man that loved him, true. I've never known a dog to fake Affection for a present gain, A false display of love to make, Some little favor to attain. I've never known a Prince or Spot 1 hat seemed to be what he was not. But I have known a dog to flght M'ith all his strength to shield a friend. And whether wrong or whether right, To stick with him until the end. And I have kmnvn a flog to lick The hand of him that men would kick. And I -have known a dog to bear StarvaTHui pangs from dav to day Mith him who had h. en glad to share ills bread and meat along the way. - o <1< g. howevpr mean or rude, Is guilty of ingratitude The dog is listed with the dumb.
