I FRANiC H HEATH \ The South is all het up. Time magazine has revealed that Mrs. Franklin itoosevelt recently entertained Walter White, colored, at a White House tea. What makes the Southern folks madder than all-get-out is ilie fact that this man White is the negro lobbyist of the Association For Advancement of Colored People. W * White first aroused the ire of Southerner's when he sat In the senate gallery directing the fight for the Wagner-Van Nuys bill. The action of Lady Eleanor is expected to widen i he breach that has cut lines across the Democratic party. The weather man flirted with the horse show crowd last Saturday? threatening rain at various times but finally giving the Virginian's a real break by providing plenty of sunshine. The show was a real wow, one of rho best offered here in years. * * Oiir~c!eTby"~l8 off^tor Huan Smalt; This chap is not only a mighty good baseball and basketball mentor but he also knpws his onions?in fact, he knows his agriculture. His work In furthering the Future Farmer course at Camden High Is outstanding?and better still?he Is getting results. J The Camden gals team gets an Invite to the state tournament at Orangeburg?which is quite OK?for if ever a team has made^ real record it is the Camden dames. I That Father and Son affair at the high school last Thursday night was | the best of the kind I ever attended and believe-you-me? I have been at | many. Some of the wise guys have been saying nasty things about the polo tournament. 1 have had several sarcastic inquiries as to why no outside j teams were booked. Frankly friends, JI think Dick Floyd and the boy3 In I the polo brain trust showed good Judgment. For instance?neither Atlanta, Durham, Fort Bragg and severjal other teams I might mention are j in a class with the Camden polo [teams. It would cost a heap of coin to bring these teams here and then? iwhat have you? Personally, I'll take [the Rambler's and Yellowjackets as my dish every time. Those teams acactually put on a hard-riding and hard-fighting show. # V i? Well friends and fellow citizens, the big day is next Tuesday when Camden marches to the polls to elect a mayor and council group to guide the destiny of our fair town for the next two years. We hope the beat men win and whoever wins will enter office with a determination to work for a bigger and better Camden?a Camden with more Industry and more cooperation. Last week, Thursday, I rattled over to Columbia and did I have a busy time? I ask you. did 1? Well, let me tell you. Got over there and went to the Columbia hotel where I attended a meeting with some five hundred other chapB of South Carolina who were there to do something about the ,fool laws that the legislature has been pasting on the state records. Boy, that was a peppy meeting. At 12:30 I dropped in at the senate chamber and chinned with Senator Brasington, who asked for the floor and introduced me to the whole pack of 8olons and even his royal highness, the lieutenant governor. Then I sauntered into the house and chatted with that good fellow Estredge, one of our representatives. The other law-maker, Mr. Clyburn. waa out in the lpbby somewhere so I did not see him. * Then I wandered back to the hotel and joined with the attacking party of industrialists, business men and farmers and we staged a Coxey army march on the capltol and into the house chamber wheffe some of the lads told the solons where to head off at. Well folks, I hope it is going to do dome good. But on? mealing Ilk? that lau't going to prove to those boys over In the house thut we are serious about this matter. We must meet more often, have an organisation and get somewhere. Let's get together gang aud start something. We want changes In the lux laws that will permit Industry to come Into the stale. * * ? This lad. Chris Wood, who 1? Uvr? to write the turf dope for Mr. Kirkover, kuo^s his bosses. Aud we will say lu all stucerlty, that Chris is a swelligant chap. Did you go to the concert at the Klrkwood Sunday evening? It not. why not? Manager Milton Smith wants every Camden resident to come and feel welcome. There la no charge and believe me, folka, the music Is Imply great. Try* lifting over next Sunday night because these concerts will be regular events every Sunday uight now until the end of the resort season. * * * * Now that wo have expressed a few serious thoughts?let's turn over the page ujul add a little spice and humor. Along that Hue may we say that out in California a man found a diamond in his hash. Gosh, that's about the only thing a fellow doesn't expect to find in hash. A man with rips in his coat and buttons off his clothes should either get married or get a divorce. Why should the United States haul off and spend a billion dollars enlarging the navy. If Dick Powell Isn't satisfied with the number of battleships in his pictures, just let him pout?see IT we care. * ? Over In Madison, Wis., a man named I^emou lids been married six times and each marriage has resulted in a divorce. All l can say Is that this Leinon has been handed uround quite a bit?it would seem. Remember Mary lx>rick( that petite little gal in the yellow hat who represented Haron DeKalb school in the beauty pageant last spring. Well. Mary is now editor of The General, the DeKalb school news bulletin. Our congratulations to Mary and the rost of the staff. And may we invite her to come to Camden next summer when Prexy Rnebee plays Softball in the city league. ? * ? Mary sent us a copy of The General and It Is a fine newsy sheet. I think that gag about dandruff being chips off the old block is mighty cute. * There are a lot of fine buddies on the Camden police force?and take It from me they strut their stuff when they are convinced they are right. Take for example. The other day one of the candidates for election on the council slate parked his gas buggy In the middle df Broad street, contrary to law. And when our good friend, Officer Barnes glimmed the empty buggy he Immediately sauntered but and began tor affix a parking tag thereon. The owner arrived at this time and became quite irritated because of the law enforcement proclivity of Officer Barnes. He argued and argued but the chap In blue was ob-j durate and he gently told the motorist that if he did not accept the tag, he would forthwith begin a Journey to the hoosegow. They say he accepted the tag. * j That's the right idea Mr. Barnes. Do your stuff and let the chips fall where they may. j And while speaking about these law enforcement buddies, may we say that we agree with the grand Jury In complimenting Sheriff McLeod and his able staff of deputies, for the very fine manner In which they have con-1 ducted the office. Nice work, Mack. ? The Washington Birthday race program for 1938 is now history. A threat of rain and cloudy weather played havoc with the attendance at the program?visiting newspaper sport writers estimating the crowd at four thousand. The flat races, with fairly large fields, were exciting and provoked enthusiasm. There were several spills during the afternoon program but no one was injured. . Went to a cage scrap at the gym Monday night and mighty near passed out from heart failure. Those Camden dames, trailing 6 to 17 at' the half, put on the pressure In the second period and went to town to tie jthe score with the strong Orangeburg maiden sextet. Village Has No Taxes Ridgeway, Wis.?This village of 600 people la a taxpayer's paradise. Property owners- have not been required to pay direct Tillage taxes for the last three years. Gee, automobile, beverage, tavern and corporation taxes have provided enough Income to . maintain village eervleee. 1)ouj6 y Vw? 2et,he! X OU Judge . What is the right price for a funeral aerrice?

KGRNJEGA YFUNERAL HOME .. ** A COMMUNITY MIWW ?INC? MT^ Jl Phon, 103 j/.''\,?^1 c llfiuHinbJm Washington, Fob. 1H.?Everybody wuntH and talka about money?few people have money and fewer still understand what money la, other than that It will buy ao much of this or that. All United States money Is supposed to be backed by a certain ratio of gold kept In vaults under the control of the United States Treasury. Until recently It has been the policy of the United States government to keep segregated, as a reserve, a certain portion of the gold pouring Into this country 'from other couutries. This gold was known as the sterilized gold fund. The theory was that we could use It as a lever if necessary to combat world business emergencies, as well as emergencies here at home. Now. secrotary of the treasury Morgenthau and chairman of the Federal Reserve Hoard dOccles, have announced (hat the gold sterilization plan will be adandoned. Neither ICccles nor Morganthuu announced why llils change In policy, but it appears on the surface that when sterlizaiion was resorted to a dangerous boom was beginning, whereas now, when times are not so good, sterilization/ is unnecessary and expensive because we may need this gold for other monetary maneuvering. It seems that Eccles wants this gold available for resumption of government spending. Morganthau appears to be against a resumption of pump priming. The administration seems to be headed for the old pump priming expenditures, i jtj jht' cards are the following; Some set-up In PWA outluys, an Increase in armument. expenditures, and an easing of terms for those wanting to i borrow money to bulUl homes. If things don't work out there are only three alternatives, increased taxes, inflation or repudiation. It is believed by some that the administration's pet bole card Is Inflation. The senate, at this writing, is still filibustering against the Anti-Lynch bill. The house of representatives, referred to as the lower house of congress, is composed of 435 members and the Parliament rules are such that a filibuster Is Impossible. Debate on every bill is limited. The United States senate, often referred to as tho uppor houso of congress, composed of 96 members, two from each state, Is referred to as tho most deliberative body on earth for the reason that any member can talk as long as he chooses on any subject. There Is a rule in the senate that no senator can speak more than once In a legislative day. In order to keep this speaking down as much as possl-bio the senate -recossos each day instead of adjourning and at this time the senate is continuing the legislative day of January 5. The only way to stop a filibuster In the senate is by cloture rule, which if adopted by two-thirds of the members, will stop debate and a vote will be taken upon the pending proposal. Cloture motions have been voted upon two or three times sino? debate on the Anti-Lynching bill began, but have been defeated each time. Appropriation Bills?The house this week is considering the regular Appropriation bill for the department of commerce, department of labor, state department and the department of justice. There are fourteen appropriation bills to be passed at each congress. Under the constitution all appropriation bills muBt originate in the house. The house has already I pas sod several of those bills and they are piles! up In the senate awaiting action. Widows' Pension?SomA days ago the House Pension's committee reported favorably a bill to pay pensions to widows of World war veterans, without regard to the cause of the veteran's death. At present such compensation Is paid only to a widow whoso husband died of a Bervlce connected disability or was drawing compensation at the time of his death for a 20 per cent service connected disability. Under the proposed bill all widows of veterans would draw at leust $22.00 per month with $6.00 additional for each child under sixteen. More Money Is Tfl tC. 8tolen by Those -I ?

SIGNS OF THE TIMES ..it won't be long now till spring, manny vissihle signs chn be saw ever day in ever way in flat rock, the dirt farmers have commenced to hang around the libberty stable looking at the 250$ males they sold last fall for 75$. of course, they, the mules, have had their manes and tales sheered, and their teeth lifted, but they are the same old annimals wearing new price tags, they were shipped off enduring the winter. ..another sure sign of spring being Just around the corner is holsum moore dusting off his 2 fishing poles and gazing around behind the barn and outhouse seeking a soft place to dig bait, he knows more kinds of fishing wlrms than anny other person in this community, and the fishing wirms that have got. a way know him too. ..the surest sign of spring is the* playing of marbels on the sidewalks land in the streets by the little boys who mannage to rake as much as c2 together to buy a set with, as soon as they commence to play Jack-stones, then it's time to plant corn; the ground will be warm enough to sprout stuff when JackstoneB reach the country. ..you can't tell annythlng about spring by observing the wimmen's styles, they began to wear their straw hats and thin dresses around the first of Januwerry, and allso ; throwed away their furrs, but will put them back on their nakes annoforth as soon as the weather gets hot enough, say around July, it mought 1 be said, however, when the ladies ware summer clothes, it's winter.... and ricy-versy. ..hardware stoars can also tell of the approach of spring, the farmers commence to hang around them along about martch, asking the price of plow-lines, bull tungs, gophers, half bowels, collar pads, and trace Ichains. of course they had all of J^hese things last year, but they let them rot on the ground or in the field or on the stable floors, it is a sin for a farmer to try to save annythlng he can buy the next year. ..gnanno agents have also took np shaking hands and bowing and scraping to their 1937 good-pay customers, and quoting nitrate /6t sody for small grains and 8-4-4 for cfl cotton, that is, if we grow over 10,000,000 this year, ferty-lize is a verry helpful thing in farming, provided a little bit of elbow grease is put in with it. yep, spring's mought nigh here, and we are all happy. * ' yores trutte, mike Lark, rfd, corry spondent.
