Friday, May 28, 1937 OSBORNE FOR RE-ELECTION Nearly always Camden bun boan fortunate in its choice of the men it bus picked to head the city governnient, and It wan never happier, in our opinion, than.when it placed the mantle on the shoulders of .1. Hamilton Osborne. MuyOr Osborne Iran, with the assistance of his capable city council, dl reeled the governmental nivalis of our city for the punt throe years, und we believe It to be the concensus of opinion that ('ainden hue never had a more capable ,ad.mlniHtrution. The financial uffulrs of the city have been well handled, and itn credit faithfully protected. In fact we doubt If there is unolher city In the state that hue a better credit rating than ("ainden. The city ordlnancee have been enforced Intelligently und without partlulity, and we cannot recall any time when then? hua been Ichh lawlessness In Camden than now, All departi/ientH of the city government ure functioning properly. The utmost good-fueling exists between all of thoso hi authority. In fuct, every good citizen may feel an honest pride In the city's government. Within a year another city election will he upon uh, and perhups ninny hopefuls, having the yen for public office, will hear the "bee buzzing in their bonnets." Forgetting politics and thinking of Camden s good only, we hope that Mayor Osborne may be prevailed upon to accept the office of mayor for another term. Tiuv political ambitions of any one or more men are of small moment when the good of the whole city Is concerned. Mayor Osborne lias proven an honest, faithful and efficient public servant. He lias wrought well in his position as mayor We believe ttiat the thinking, patriotic citizens of Camden will be glud to have him continue in that position. We know that the city will be fortunate If he can bo persuaded to do so. Wo trust that those good citizens whose minds are in accord with ours on tills question will speak with Mr. Osborno to the end that we may have the benefit of a continuation of his service. Many well-governed cities have kept the same mayor for iuuny years, to the honor of these cities and the satisfaction of their peoples.. In the Interest of a continued, efficient. orderly government, let us prevail upon our mayor to continue his task for at least another term. STATE DRIVER'S LICENSE FEE REMAINS AT 50 CENTS Columbia.

EVERY CITIZEN RESPONSIBLE They have it up in MaryVille, Maryville? It's the pretty name of a little town in Tennessee of about 6,000 inhabitants. They want a cleaner town. When one of their citizens, returning from a long trip, was naked bia imprcaaion of Maryvllle as compared with other towns he had visited, he unawered .JfWell, of course, we all know that waryvllle is the best town In the state, Hut?" We are not quoting his exact words; only the reportter's: "He said it was one of the dirtiest towns be had ever been in." In commenting on this remark the local editor says most emphatically it Is not a knock, but "constructive criticism" which should Inspire every citizen of Mnry ville to try to have a cleaner town. Mention is also made of some ladles who in walking down "Broadway" were compelled to detour because of uncleanliness. We note a letter to the editor of a paper in a much- larger city. He offers a slogan, "Keep Our City Clean!" ajong with several suggestions bowcitizens might be able to live up to the slogan. Sturting off with the remark that "godliness cannot well exist in the midst of tilth," he says all citizens are to blame that the city Is not clean. "Each and every one of us." he emphasizes. Ah. says someone: "Of course we want a clean city, but what can I do?" This writer says: "111 tell em what they can do." And he proceeds: "Call u cop and report violations. Followthrough and appear as a witness if you are needed. Have your children as|< their teachers to talk on clean streets. If necessary visit the schools ami ask the teachers themselves (in to \niir clergyman.

STAR ROUTE CONTRACTS Having ulready passed the lower House of Congress a star route bill was threshed out in the Senate, and endorsed. It was rather Interesting. The opponents charged that tho usual postal lobby was on hand in full force. Thero is little doubt about the fact that postal clerks and similar officials hold a strong whlphand over the politicians, and generally land their bacon. We confess that wo rather favor the postal "boys" In this case. W e have never boon able to see why the star routers have boon made the goat in such matters. The regular It. F. D. carriers hold their Jobs, and good ones too. apparently for life. On the other hand the star route riders dype^d each term upon whether they can Survive In the face of lower bidders. It Is too much like making flesh of one and fowl of the other. The result has been, not only frequent changes, but the salary often so low, as to be little better than starvation wages. The new bi\l gives the postmaster general the power to renew those contracts without tho d&ngor of losing their Jobs by law, and probably often, irresponsible bidders.?Calhoun Times. Olympia Takes Final (Jame From Camden ( By Frank H. Huath) A team of youngsters battled In vain aKalunt an aggregation of experienced buneball pastlmeis at Melton Field In Columbia last Thursday and a fighting Camden high school bowed to Olympia Mills "high of Columbia by an 8 to 0 acore. There wait no disgrace attached to the Camden downfall. Wallace "lied" Lynch, the Idol of Camden baseball j fane, went the entire route for the Bulldogs and wan striving Juat an 1 strongly In the closing Innings as in I the early part of the game to stem the tide of defeat. Olympia had a hard-hitting aggregation on the field. The official scor- i er gave them 18 hits. The writer, with the experience of many years of 1 scoring in major league baseball, gave them ten hits. The Columbia scorer gave Camden but one error. Suffice to state that the defense back of I Lynch cracked more often than that. .Joe Beatram, a big right-hander, who we'll wager a plug hat against u 1980 World Almanac, is old enough to he In the big time, went the route for the home team, and believe me, he got away lucky in smearing the whitewash brush. Camden hud scoring opportunities uguin and again (luring the game but missed lire. This Is not a criticism In any sense of the word, it was Just a case of Inexperience. For Instance, In the first Inning, "lied" Lynch, first up, cracked out a single and when the Olympia Infield blew up, ruced to third. Here a squeeze play was attempted. The hunt was missed and "lied" galloped Into the hall and catcher. Quite the outstanding play of the entire game was made by Douglas Lynch, Camden second baseman. Joe Bertram drove u vicious drive between pitcher and second base. Lynch | came in like a flush und made a dive for the ball which was on the down tangent The outstretched glove of the plucky second-sacker went under the ball Just before It touched the ground. Lynch did a trapeze roll and tumble hut kept hold of the hall and the crowd went cuckoo as the umpire waved the runner out, and thy side was retired. ('' ? Bertram fanned . 12 of the Camdeiiw batters while Lynch' whiffed 10 of the Mills team. So far as the pitching was concerned, both hurlers showed a lot of stuff. Bertram had some hitters back of hlin while the hoys back of the Camden lad just couldn't connect when lilts would have put counters on the scoring pad. The hopes of the Camden' fans reeelved a Jolt In the fourth Inning when Buddy Corley of the Mills team rapped out a streaming skier into deep left center and before the ball could be gathered in and relayed to the infield Buddy had crossed the plate with the first run of the game. The big rally for Olympia came in the fifth when eight batters went Into action, some with telling effect. With one down. Lynch walked his first man of the game. Then came a series of hits, including a triple, double and two singles, which with two errors on the part of Camden netted four runs. In the eighth the Olympia outfit opened up another rally. A single, a passed ball and a wild pitch, a walk and then two singles scored two runs. The final score came in the ninth when Roof drove the ball to the far regions in left field, the sphere hitting the top of the steel fence and bounding Into the adjoining highway. Camden threatened in the first inning but when Lynch was tagged, trying to come home on a squeeze play, the threat died. In the third Lynch reached third base but was marooned when the Olympia defense tightened to retire the side. In the eighth Camden again made a threat when "Red" Lynch, reached second on an error and went to third on Hammond's single. Hammond stole second. Then Doug Lynch drove a fly to right field. Kirkland snagged the fly out of the ether and pegged it home in time to kill Lynch as he tried to come in from third after the putout Camden fans supported the Bulldogs in a handsome way. A motorcade that left Camden with 22 cars was swelled to 12 when it swept into the city of Columbia. Three motorj cycle officers led the motorcade thru the Columbia business district With sirens wide open and horns on auto j i mobiles wide open. Camden gave notice to the world that it was on the job. Highway patrolmen declared it was the largest anil "noisest' motorcade to visit Columbia. TODAY'S QUESTION The Newberry Daily Herald and News under the caption "Today's Question." presents some answers to the question of handbills as advertising matter, which prove very interesting. They follow: What Is your reaction when you get Into your car and find It littered with handbills ? Fur man Reagin: "Well, my car is usually locked, so there isn't much reaction on my part." Jake Wise: "I'm against it nnd I think it should be curbed. The merchants should put thtjir advertising in the paper where it belongs. Dr. C. I). Weeks: "I never look at the handbills I Just throw them out. 1 don't put mine In cars, hut send them to the homes." J. P Moon: "Somebody is doing advertising and taking liberties by putting them in cars." Roy Clary: "It doesn't make any difference to me, for I seldom read them. Sometimes 1 look at them for curiosity. As far as littering the car up, It stays dirty anyway. ???? ?? Bird Banding Unique Hobby Columbia, May 12.?Unique among the bobbies of University of Houtb Carolina students is that of Cheater's W. \V. Neely. He's s bird censustaker?counting beaks instead of noses. Annually Mr. Neely, equipped with a Hat of birds, held glasses and a thorough knowledge of Ills subject, takes a one-day census of birds in a lOinilc radius near ills home. On Ills last trip tiie student ornothologlst observed f>l species of birds ami 1,000 Individuals. iilrd bunding for the United States Hlojogical Hurvey is another hobby at which Mr. Neely is expert. He . - " ? traps the birds with a variety of bait ?chicken feed, cruihbs, earth worm* (for robins especially) and nut meats ?and slips a numbered aluminum baud around each captlve'a leg. The log bands come In varying sizes to tit the bl'd#- They are loose enough to eliminate possibility of in* Jury and tight enough to keep the bird from hanging up ou a twig or branch. Kach bird banded is reoprded as to species, sex, age and Size, then freed. The bander theu confidentially hopes for a "return"?which may occur anytime from 15 minutes to 15 years after the bird Is loosed.
