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.

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

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.
