Well sir , we have read many strange tales In our muuy years of newspaper writing but the story appearing in the Hartsvllle News of April 2, regarding the Carolina Cup races Is about the funniest thing we have ever perused. The writer, who signs his name Wallace Smith, had Mrs. Randolph Scott and her famous screen star husband present for the race program, when as a matter of fact Mrs. Scott was In England and Randolph was In California?both places being quite some distance from the Springdale course. ? But, hold your sides folks?this is the best one. The said Mr. Smith has Battleship racing against Ostend and Corn Dodger in this Carolina Cup event. It would certainly have meant a bit of legerdemain to bring Battleship from Aintree, England, to Camden in time to race in the local (lassie. I All of which has put me up in the ?air ami I have still-to figure out- what the following all means:. It all evolves around the price of an upper and lower berth and all I have to start from is the fact that the lower berth costs $5 more than the upper which makes the lower berth higher than the upper one. The higher price if for the lower. They sell the upper lower than the lower. Some people prefer the lower upper, it's lower of course on account of its being higher. When you occupy an upper you have to go to bed and get down to get up. * * Has't anyone ever discovered who the mysterious I^ady Godiva was, who spurred her natty nag along Laurens street recently when a baseball game between Camden and Bishopville was in session and actually broke up the pastime. Will some one please arise and lead in that chorus, "It Aint Gonna Rain No More. No More." Candidly I'm fed ? I up with the aqua pura. Tho moat aerioua thought of the week: Among the other effects of tho Nazi iuvaaiou and annexation of Austria has been the destruction of the Rotary International of Austria. Some twenty-five Clubs have died. Among tho great peace organizations in tho United States and the world is the International Rotary. ' The same objective in general is for the Rotarlan wherever he may be found in any part of the world. The society has always been a great influence for peace and international comity. It is the one service organization that has branches in Europe, Asia and Australia. The principles of the Rotary clubs evidently did not fit in with the Hitler idea of democratic destruction and the installation of Nazi rule in Austria. If we had more Rotary clubs in the world they might be allowed to conduct their meetings in peace, it would be a better world. * * * * I Oh hum! Eleven more Russians face a firing squad. The typical Russian these days Is the one with his back to the wall. ? Yes Donnie, we repeat, we don't want to know what the country 1b coming to, we want to be surprised. Army and Navy leaders consider that 2,000,000 men may be mobilized In four months. They could count on twice that number overnight if our next preparedness song were entitled "Over Here." Gee whiz, listen to this! Dr. Maud Slye, famed pathologist of Chicago, is feeling bad because she has been unable to discover a strain of mice that can live on a human diet of cock|tails, highly seasoned foods, hot foods and cold drinks. This seems to my unlettered mind that mice are not men and men are not mice. We shall refuse comment as to what men are in relation to their wives. We would j like to say we do not believe Dr. IT NO LONGER^ ^ PAYS, TO TRY TO J GET ALONG ( WITHOUT ONE) ha, uresont-day cost of a telephone in your noinc ta so iow and the advantages sc many that it really doesnt nay to try to ret alone without one The home with a telephone \f xiuipped tc enio\ arrester happiness and comfort The <nowledere that the telephone is handy in any emergencv is modf satisfying \nd to tnow that you and vour family are always in ouick easv reach of friends, acquaintances and relatives is V arreat comfort .

A: 1 r:, i' a *! j Camden Defeated By Columbia High (By Skipper) Two outfiotd boot# enabled (Hilumbla to win a hang up baseball scrap from Camden blah In thu local pas time pasture Tu^gflay by a 3 to oi score. Mane, of Columbia, and Lynch, of Camden, staged a beautiful hurling duel, thu Camden tire head getting flf teen strikeout* and yielding huvuii hltH while Mane funned ten and wub nicked six times. Kaeh team Hated three erros, but those of Camden proved coatly. Camden had three aeparute opportunities to break up the game and puah over some counters but in each Instance, the necessary hitting punch was not there. Columbia opened the scoring In the fli Bt frame when Tate,- the visiting i backstop drove a long liner over ?oooiul Into centertleld. Merrill did not play the hop correctly and the ball went past him and rolled to the school wall, enabling the batter to complete the circuit on what should have been but a dinky single. In the sixth the visitors pushed over two more markers. The first Columbia batter shot a grounder to Williams, who was playing well off first. Lynch rushed over to take the throw and tag the sack but missed the canvus completely and the runner wus safe. A sacrifice hit sent the runner to hoooml and the next butter blazed a screamer into far left. Marshall dashed over and made a leap to spear the flying apple with his right mitt. He fumbled the bull and then recovering It, throw wild over second and both runners scored. It so happened that the batter who drove out thisi long left field poke was the same who| scored the fluke homer In the first In-1 ning. | The game was witnessed by a large crowd of fans but the cash taken In was mighty small. The High management is awaiting the opportunity to get Into action on the fair grounds diamond when every spectator will have to dig down and pay an admission fee. The Highs have a game this week, Friday at Orangeburg, and next Tuesday go to Newberry for a game. On April 22 the team plays Newberry here and on the 26th, Columbia Highs play a return game here. The score Tuesday: 777". R H E Columbia 3 7 3 Camden 0 6 3 Batteries: Columbia, Hane and Tate; Camden, Lynch and Cox. Game Chatter Alderman Jack Nettles did a swelligant Job of "umpiring. He alscT appeared In the heroic role of a firefighter when Charley Kirkland committed arson by starting a grass fire along the bleacher line. Lynch sure was pouring 'em In, as evidenced by his flteen strikeouts. Had the red-head been given any kind of support and the home gang had collected a few timely Bwats, Camden would have won hands down. But It so happens they pay ofT on the team leading when the final out Is made. That little conference between Cox and Lynch In the fourth produced as neat a bit of inside stuff as we have seen In many moons. The stage had been set thusly: The first Columbia batter dropped a Texas leaguer over second. Then came a strikeout and the third batter singled to left, sending the first runner to third. With runners on first and third Lynch called Cox out to tell him what the governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina. A force out at second and the runner tagged off third retired the side so quickly the visitors were left gasping. NEW TIRE TREADING COMPANY OPEN8; TO FEATURE FINE WORK The Hugglns Retreading Company has opened up on a reorganized basis on DeKalb street near the Southern depot and with the installation of the latest tire retreading machinery, Is prepared to give a maxlmutn service to motorists. The plant under the personal direction and supervision of T. D. Hugglns, who has a twenty-five year background of experience in the retreading and repair of tires.

The new equipment of the shop will feature a machine that will provide a tread with the most approved safety marking which eliminates the chance of skidding.

Slye will discover any strain of men that could live on rat trap cheese, stale bread crumbs, chewed paper, blta of currency, bacon rind and othter articles to be found in a mouse (diet. We also doubt If men could Tare rery well in gnawing holes in f^- hack of bureau drawers, nor would they live long if they tried to get into the space available behind the baseboard and between It and the wall.
