MAYOR QET8 PROMOTION
The ulovatlon of Mayor J. H. OsbojjM?,
' who Iiuh for a long numbdr
of years been plant superlhtendeut
of the Southern Cotton Oil Company
of thla city, to the position of District
Engineer of that company, Is
well merited. In qlmractor, ability,
and experience, Mr. Osborne la fully
equipped for the wofk that ho Is to
perform, and the devotion and capacity
that he has shown throughout the
years of his connection with that
lurgo Institution have earned for him
IhlB signal acknowledgement of his
fitness and this evidence of the appreciation
of the service he has rendered.
The elation of his friends is,
however, not unmixed with ' regret,
lA.vee his new duties will take him
away from uamuen for ihe lafger
part of his time, and'may finally result
In the loss of himself and his fine
ramlly to this city. For years Mr
Osborne has beeu recognized us one
Of Camden's foremost and most public-spirited
citizens, and he and his
family are the sort of folks that any
community would regret to lose.
Jrfr. Osborne is approaching the
ond of his second term as mayor of
the city. A groat many of Camden's
citizens had boon insistent that he
ofTor again for that office, and we understand
that he had the matter under
consideration whori the promotion
came to him. His new duties uro
such that he will not be able to offer ,
his services as mayor for another|
term. The only announced candidate,
for the office so far Is Councilman F. j
N. McCorkle, who has for the pastj
four years rendered capable and cffi-|
clent service aB alderman from Ward ,
three, one of the largest wards of the j
city. Mr. McCorkle's platform was
published In the local papers sometime
back. Mr. McCorkle has for,
yours been the efficient agent of the
Amorlean Railway Express Company J
here," and has, Dy"~hls .affability, RUT"
public spirit, and bis high character,
drawn to himself hundreds of friends.
In Camden. We do not know whether'
he will have opposition or not. So
far. none has materialized. Wo are
perfectly satisfied that If Mr. McCorkle
Is elected, he will give the city
an honeBt, capable, and efficient administration.
HEATH RE-NAMED 8ECRETARY
The officers and directors of the
Camden and Kershaw County Chamber
of Commerce at the annual meeting
held this week unanimously re- '
elected Frank H. Heath as its secretary
for another year.
Since Mr Heath took charge of the
activities or the Chamber of Cominci
. o last spring, ho has been oxt
el\ active In the promotion of
( ; dyeti and Kershaw County, and
h< as Inaugurated and carried thru
ii. . worthwhile projects In the
i lis that be has Pern here. I nu<T
1.. trader ship, tin Chamber has <ot;
;iieil with every other activity 1
i tig to the common welfare and
b> .i.is established the organization :
a real, live, working body that has
a t. i.iy done much good and is en-1
aM:::g itself to be of Infinitely mere,
her-, ice to the community.
Mr Heath, since he has been In
Cat-..den. has won the friendship and
r.-pi i t of the business people generally
of the community, and there Is
probably a finer spirit of cooperation
here now than there has been for
many years in the past. I
'I he Camden and Kershaw County
Chamber of Commerce is to be con-'
gratulated on being able to retain the
services of Mr. Heath.
ARK YOU HELPING*
j
Are you h volunteer In the ranks j
of the unity that I* battling that
dreaded scourge?tuberculosisT
Are you enlisted In t"hu buttle that
la being carried on In Camden uud |
Kershaw county right now to raise u
fund thut will enable those In charge
to give helpful counsel, advice and
aid to those who are afflicted with
this disease?
Do you know that over In the Htate
Park Sanatorium there are Mcven persons
from Kershuw county, two of
them of high school age, who are
lighting for life against the Inroads
of this disease?
' Do you know that already this year
there have been fourteen deaths from
tuberculosis In Kerabaw county?an
increase over the totals of 1935 and
1936? This, according to the national
association, was expected partly
because of the lack of food and suitable
living quarters during tho depression
period.
Do you know that the dread disease
strikes at the youth of the land with
much more devastating effect than
among those of mature years?
If you realise all these points, then
you must be prepared to give enthusiastic
and whole-hearted support to
the program of battling the Inroads
of tuberculosis.
ItX Camden and Kershaw county
there is a baud of willing and energetic
workers who are striving hard
tc raise a fund of 12.000 In order that
twelve months of work may be car
ried on against tuberculosis. This
year a house to house solicitation for
the Bale of Christmas seals was carried
on but in many instanoes workers
found members of households absent.
If you have not been contacted
In this matter, don't wait, but phono
Joe McKain, general chairman, and
someone will call for your donations
better still, bring it to Mist* Faith
deLoach, treasurer of the association
in Kershaw county, at the office of
Kirkland and Aelxjach, on DeKalb
street.
The money that is raised is used
to carry out a plan of preventive education,
to keep a worker in the Held,
an experienced person who will investigate
every suspected case of tuberculosis,
give helpful information,
arrange for X-ray pictures, and In
goneral, direct the fight against the
disease.
Wednesday, a "Bangle" sale was
held. Workers with attractive little
double barred crosses wore at corners.
In office buildings, and elsewhere,
selling the "bangles." Tomorrow,
the sale will be repeated, and
It is hoped that every individual will
purchase a "bangle."
Booths for the sale of the Christmas
seals will be established In three
locations in the downtown district.
The battle Is to be waged through
December 24. So let every Camden
man, woman and child shoulder a
musket and like their historic forebears.
carry on to a victory In this
antl-tuberculosis drive.
A LITTLE FIGURING
The other day a man was found
in the woods of Kershaw county, shot
to death. The Camden Chronicle
seems rather consoled that it is the
first In thirteen months. That is-'so
far better than Horry, Greenville,
Lexington, Richland and Bome others
that it la enough to be thankful over
in the state's bloody record. There
are forty-six counties. One a year
for each would be about foi ty too.
much. As a matter of fact, we be-1
llevo that homicides for some yoars:
have run from about 250 to 350. An
appalling record. No wonder that f

UNFAIRNESS OF OOACHES TO
PLAYERS OF VARIOUS TEAM8
The Cumdeu flown Service, through
its dtroctor Frank H. Heath, has addressed
u letter to Krueat J. Slfford,
of Charlotte, who waa at the hhad of
the Hhrine group sponsoring the recent
North Caroliua-South Carolina
all-star high football game at Charlotte.
/?
In the letter, a copy of which In
printed below, Mr. Heath calls alieni
tion to the unfair attitude of the three
South Carolina coaches tu their handling
of the player perapjwft) during
the gaiue, charging that *the coaches
gave preference to players from the
Easley, Greenville and Spartanhnrg
teams.
While praising ine splendid objective
of the game, the Camden publicity
writer stresses the necessity of
tiavlug another system of player handling
Inaugurated next year. The
letter follows:
I am taking tho liberty of writing
you relative to the^ footbaM gaum at
Charlotte last Saturday between the
Ail-Star teaniH of North and South
Carolina. It had been my hqpe, as
well us that of thousands of other
football enthusiasts over this, state,
that the1 game might become ah Institution
to be hold annually, alternating
between Charlotte and Columbia,
and that all of the seniors op football
teams in the two states who had
distinguished themselves in their play
during the season might have an- opportunity
to exhibit their wares on
this occasion.
| t he purpose, that of raising funds\
for the Crippled Children's Hospital,
is a most laudable one, b.ut there are,
too, other considerations that necessarily
must be borne in mind. Coaches
and scouts from every institution In I
the two states, and perhaps some I
from other states, were present last
Saturday to see these boys In'action, |
ap well as the parents, relatives and
(friends of the players over each of
the states, hoping to see their sons
or their friends play.
( We all thought that In the interest
of good sportsmanship and fair play
all of the players who showed anything
in tho week's trainfttg at Charlotte
would be given an opportunity
to play (not for one or, two plays, but
for an appreciable length of lime)
during the game. But Messrs. Brice.
Speer and Dobson elected to put in
tho men from their schools only, except
for a few short Intervals, when
two or three other players were
thrust Into tho game and quickly
withdrawn after one or two plays
had been run.
For Instance, young Chapman of
Rook Hill was put In for two of three
plays when the South Carolina team
was on the defensive. He tackled
and threw a North Carolina player
for a loss of at least ten yards, and
was Immediately withdrawn. Watts
of Camden, was put In at
tackle when South Carolina wag on
TKelTerenslve. He tackled and gnw
for a loss and on the other pldw^he
stopped his man on the line of Scrimmage.
Watts was immediately taken
out. These are Just two of the glaring
Instances of unf&lrnfesa onnthe
part of the South Carolina coaches,
and are mentioned to illustrate the
situation from the South Carolina
standpoint. *
I would not for a minute deprecate
the fine work "done by the .mayers
from Easley, Greenville and Spartanburg.
They did 'their work tfdlellently,
and I am proud of them jhst
as are all good South Carolinians,
but I know and many other Sooth
Carolinians know, that there Wfere
many other players who, If they had
been given the opportunity, wdold
have performed as well as did thjfcse
young men. These boys, along With
their friends and the fans from their
towns generally, were bitterly dlk&ppointed
that they were kept out.
As I understand It, the game iras
promoted, not so much with the view
of determining who could play the
best football ? North Carolina^or
South Carolina?but first, to raise money
for a most worthy cause; second.
to give the better high school
football players of the two states an
opportunity to let the athletic departments
of the different institutions.of |
the two states to see what they codld
do; third, to furnish an Interesting
contest which the football lovers all
iver the states might enjoy.
As It developed, however, from the
South Carolina standpoint, outside of
Greenville, Spartanburg and Easley
the balance of the state is keenly
disappointed, and If this game is to
be repeated another Bystem will hare
to be Inaugurated. The people !in
other towns of the state are not kolng
to be Interested when only ope
section is going to furnish all of the
players, regardless of their ability* *'
I apprehend that Messrs. Brjce,
Speer and Dobson will say that th?j
reason their men played almost-Mxclusively
was that each of them usjpd
practically the same system. To my
mind such an excuse Is not tensile.
It occurs to me that Mr. Brice mffltit
have generously selected at least one
assistant coach from the central ,pr
southern^ part of the state. In view of
the fact "that the 8outh Carolina team
was supposed to have been dravjrn
rom teams all over the state. ?r
I believe that such a coaching stall
could have been gotten together f*
without much difficulty haves worked
out a system for the Saturday game;
and at the same time, they could have
given a more representative' /roup of
boys a chance to play. Not faepnlng
to disparage any of those who
clpated, I believe that there were
[ players who sat on the bench Who
were as good as those who played;
(even If this were not so, they should
have been given a chance. The balance
of the state then would not Mvfe
been caused to feel that they had
been discriminated against by the action
of the Easley, Greenville and
8partanburg coach?.
I am sending Mr. Brice, Mr. 8?Rr
and Mr. Dobson each a copy of this
letter. , I have no 111 wflj toward
them, but I am expressing what Y Relieve
to be the sentiment of thoee
