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.

Heath Speaker At
Exchange Club
A (-lever word picture iu which he
likened Chamber of Commerce organ!
station to u Bulling vcbbo! during the
days of trans Atlantic travel, in which
the chartered course wan not a
at might line from port to port, but a
zig-zag record of u hundred tacks, wuh
given by Frank 11, Heath, executive
secretary of the Camden Chamber of
Commerce in an addreBB before the
exchange club Tuesday afternoon
Mr. Heath said in part:
"Hack in the days when trans At
lantic travel was largely by sail a
philosopher set down a metaphor to
the effect that the chartered course
of any vessel was not a straight line
from port to port, but a zig-zag record
of a hundred tacks. 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. AH W|
auk of you lu uoUcltlug your aid in
fighting tliowe pur.fi* ilea lb to demand
I'voiii each and every one of them au
approval card from the Chamber of
Commerce. Aa you know any legitimate
pur pone will have no difficulty
in atanding an ijiveatlgatton. By all
mean* beware of Holicltora who try,to
take your money or your check on
the llrrtt call.
My tank in not an easy one., It
will require patience. Do not expect
too much too aoon. Wo are living In
un age of apeed. It finda ita expreahlon
in Jazz, the conatant demand for
change, itecently a faat train waa
put on in the eaat, and it la aaid a
New Yorker leaving for Chicago leaned
out to klaa hla wife aa the train
atarted and kiaaed the negro porter In
Jeraey City. 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.
" '' *' bus be to speak his creed,
ins n essages to humans come
!' > taithtul conduct and by deed.
He shows, as seldom mortnis do
A high ideal of being true.
