Friday, July 22, 1938 A CALL TO THE WOMEN It la Indood u fur cry from the day tu 1872 whou Suauu 11. Anthony, that mother of womaii'H suffrage, In the United Slates of America, was lined $11)0 for casting a vote In the presidential election. So greatly then did a few women prize the very thought of a right to "'vote. In this year of grace, 1938, when the women of South Carolina have had the right to vote given them us a war measure, advocated by President Wilson, years ago, the pricelss gift (fought, bled and died for In the past) has become so commonplace, shopworn or tarnished that It has been thrown away?hundreds of women will not even register. Now?'there should bo a fine of $100 for each eligible citizen who will not go to the polls to redeem the state and county from coat-tall swingers and bally-hoo politicians. Women of South Carollnu?a call to duty! Study the lives and careers and principles and platforms (If they have uny) of each candidate, aud cast your vote for the ones most worthy of the highest traditions of our state?Contributed. SMITH?OR WALTER WHITE Prederlck William Wile, who writes "Washington Observations" In The Washington Star, says that the Roosevelt fight on E. I). Smith Is based "not alone on bis opposition to the Roosevelt court plan" but that It Is mado because "the negroes of the United States are most bent on removing him from public life." The New Deal Is dependent on the votes of negroes In the north. "The Society for the Advancement of the Colored Peoplo has three separate grudges against 'Cotton Ed' " (we quote Mr. Wile), his objection to the selection of a negro to pray In the national Philadelphia convention. his protest against the choice of a negro congressman to second Mr. Roosevelt's nomination, these Incidents being "symbols" of the Democratic capture of the northern nogro vote and the cause of Smith's walking out of the convention, and his active opposition to the antl-lynchlng bill, so-called. <$jCt no one think that these actions by Senator Smith In Philadelphia wero a hot-headed outburst of prejudice" against nogroes. They were nothing of the kind. Smith's feeling about the negroes Is that of the average Southern man of decent Instincts. His conduct In Philadelphia expressed his swift and accurate recognition that the national Democratic party had "gone negro." that no longer could It be relied on as the fortress) of the south against the determined and unceasing effort of the Walter White negroes to destroy the white people's control Iti the Southern SLatos. The appearance of the negro clergyman and the negro congressman In conspicuous posts in the convention Smith recognized as'the national Democratic party's capitulation to the Northern negroes, and. experienced congressman that he Is. he lnstantlj percelvod that the day when Northern and Western Democrats, men like William Jennings Bryan. Stone and Reed, of Missouri. Kern of Indiana. O'Oorman of New York?all the Northern Democrats?stool with Tillman. John Sharpe Williams, Simmons of North Carolina, and himself on Southern questions, had passed. That is why he "walked out." He gaw that the old effort of the 'seventies is on again, this time to be carried on Insidiously and adroitly, and that to awaken the South h? had to walk out. How surely he saw the truth la now proved by the Invasion of South Carolina by labor's Non-Partisan I.?eajhie, a strictly political organization composed of Northern whites and negroes, to "engage actively" in ft South Carolina primary for the purpose of de-: foating Smith This capture of the Northern Dem- j ocratlo party by the negroes had been. and dauUrod by the junior aeua-1 tor of South Carolina. Mr Byrnes, who said on the floor of the senate last January that "the negroes control the Democratic party ' The Issue Is clear Do with It what you will. Voters of South Carolina. If you vote against Smith you vote for the victory of Walter White of. the Society for the Advancement of j the Colored People. There are no two ways about it.?News and Courier. || 8PORTOrtlAL ? (By The Skipper) Our "eportorlal" this wo?$k will Concern baseball aa If relates to Camdeu. There Isn't any disputing the fact this little town sure has taken It on the chlu so far as the national paaitme Is cCncurutMl not only this year but lu the For the purtfose of having something to gripe about, let's confine the wail to 1938 alone. What happened? Well, we really had a swell start at putting Camden right In the middle of the baseball map. We had a wellcouched team, a team that played bang-up baspbull?and we had a good baseball plant in which to strut our stuff. Then came the explosion?Just at a time when we had the fans base bull conscious. We're not golng.(to offer criticism regarding the sudden demise of a Legion Junior leant that would have gone far in our estimation. That Is all past history and everybody Is sorry for what happened. But we want to go beyond the I^eglou baseball situation and paint another picture. As all Canfden fans know, this department sought to interest a number of towns In the organization of a semi-pro baseball loop. Wo knew it could be done, as we bad organized a similar unit down In Florida. That was ten years back and the league is still functioning. But we did not look under the bed to Bee who might be In the room with us when wo talked a Central South Carolina semi-pro loop. Away over in a corner was "Old Mail NonCooper~ afloti." And fellows, let me tell you. that's a mean cuss. Four of the six teams contacted wyre courteous enough to reply to our letter. Two failed to express themselves at all. Encouraging wasn't It? But It is perhaps Just as well, for after thinking the matter over, we realized that on August 19, the football squad goes to the mountain retreat and that would have taken at least six of the star players from a Junior ball team. And In the meantime Pageland Is reaping all kinds of publicity by reason of the South Carolina Eastern district semi-pro tournament that was held there. Darliij&ton and Florence are still having ba^bull, those teams playing a 2 to 2 tleYnly last Thursday. Places like Klngstree, Manning and the like have berths In a Santee league game. Kershaw and some other towns not nearly the size of Camden have semi-pro loop ball. I cbuld name a dozen more. Here In Cannlen, we have a good ball park, with a grand stand and bleachers that will seat close to 1.000 fans, a good diamond?but no ball clu b You guessed It?we're Just an enthusiastic baseball fan. The greater part of our professional career has been the promotion and publicizing of the game. We can have baseball for breakfast, dinner and supper and nover tiro of it. And believe you me?sure miss the sport down here. Thank God for the softball enthusiasm and Interest In Camden. While lacking the Interest that a good hard ball game offers, It still offers the thrills and excitement of the diamond shaped pastlnie pasjture. which is some help. What we are gotting at is this? there isn't any reason why Camden Bhould not have a semi-pro team in some league. Such a team should be Independent of the high school or Juior group. Certainly there la material here to make up a team. The ftermitage and Wateree Mills have baseball talent. So has Camden. When the high school and Legion seasons are over, add players from those teams to the city team. But for the love of Mike, let's do something to have steady baseball here In 1939. And listen?now Is the time to start putting the finishing touches on the baseball field. The place should bo fixed up, grandstand and bleachers pointed, the outfield leveled up and grass planted. Lets have It done now and not wait until the season atarts In 1939. Get the grass In, and by April next year there should be a good turf to work on. We have offered our Impression of the baseball situation In Camden. We believe wo are right?but we may be wrong. I^et's hear from aome of the other enthusiasts. ; 8EABOARD BUYS RAIL8 Norfolk. Va . July 18?An order for 4.500 tons of steel rails and accesories has been placed by the Seaboard Railway with the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company of Birmingham. Alabama. L. R. Powell Jr , Receiver, said today This order is the first for rails In the third quarter and Involves a* estimated cost of $200,000 Mr Powell did not specify any delivery date for the rf-'ls and accessories J K Stewart was convicted In a magistrat's court at Dunn. N C.. on a Charge of giving a bad check for $13 To pay the fine he gave the Justice of the peace a check for $17, Including costs The chock came back, marked "Insufficient funds" GARDEN WORK *OR JULY When yott prepare ^your fall garden, apply a liberal amount of wslMecomposed manure. Be sure It la well decayed or It will bum the plants. The advantage of manure In preventing drying of soil rail be better appreciated wheu we know that 100 pounds of Hand will hold twenty-five pound# of water; clay, fifty pounds pf water; and organic matter (manure), 100 pound# of water. l)o not allow the asparagus bed to go to weed#, but, do not cut away the I top# that have growu to full t>Ue. Either or both will decrease production next spring, a# a result of a weakened plant. Keep the strawberry bed free of weed# and grass, and select your best plants at thi# time. Transplant a few row# during September, but do not risk the bulk of your planting before cooler weather. Do not overlook the Importance of fertilizer for the fall and winter garden. Make a top dressing of nitrate of soda for growing crops and work It well lute the soli. Make plantings of the following Irish potatoes, l^ookout Mountain and Irish Cobbler, up to August 1. Turnips, Extra Early Purple Top; Yellow Aberden and Whlete Eggs. Turnips (Rutabaga), Improved Purple Top, up to August 1. Deans, Bountiful, Strlngless Qreenpod. Beets, Crosby's Egyptian, Detroit Dark Red. Lettuce, Big Boston, Mignonette, New York. Carrots, Chan ten ay, Coreless (Nantes). Corn, Stowoll's Evergreon. Country Gentleman, Trucker's Favorite. Squash, White Bush. Giant Summer Crookneck. Remember that thorough preparation Is very necessary In the planting of any root crop. Otherwise the quality will be extremely poor. This Is especially advisable with reference to rutabaga turnips. Transplant the following: Collards, Georgia or Georgia Sou'hern. Celery, Golden Self Branching, Giant Pascal. Cabbage, Succession and I^ate Flat Dutch. Tomatoes, Greater Baltimore, Marglobe (for wilt resistant), Bonny Best and New Stone. Plants of the above named vegetables are always short for fall planting. Therefore, do everything possible to save the plants and cause them to grow off rapidly after transplanting. Puddling the roots, which is nothing more than plunging the roots Into a mixture of soil and water, before transplanting Is very helpful. Shade the plants with old berry boxes, newspapers, plue tops, or bean vines until the growth begins. Watch for Insects! Stop the Insect when It first begins to work. It is easier to handle before It ha# a larger family and many friends. See May and June letter for control measures for such insects as bean beetle, tomato fruit worm, cabbage worm, mcumber beetle, squash bug, red spider, etc. Mole crickets turn** Just tinder the surface of the soil, cutting off plant rots. Control with poisoned bait, scattered broadcast over infested area late In the afternon. This Is composed of the following: Cottonseed meal, five pounds; rice flower, five pounds; calcium arsenate, half pound; and one cup of molasses to seven cups of water. Aphis or plant lice: Spray thoroughly with fish oil or laundry soap, one ounce; water, on gallon; and Black Leaf 40, one teaspoonful. Pickle worm in cantaloupes, squash, etc. Dust plants while wet with dew with one part calcium arsenate to five parts of lime. Begin dusting when plant# begin to bloom and continue at ten day intervals until crop Is mature. Miss Ellle Zerap is on a visit to relatives in Mount Pleasant.
