P^THE TOWN CRIER (BY FRANK H. HEATH) i ftfjiuk tho flne8t tribute that can 1(1 to the iwelllgant performance J the Shiclalr aoftball pastlmers in L C'tty league la the manner in Gch several outfits are seeking to Lor this group In the 1939 IfcunlclJrj^gue race. We know ot, three of national reputation who L,id like to persuade the present Hclsh' group to don uniforms beaiit their uainea. g^jt now the boys are well satis(d with their present sponsor, tho ^lr Oil company and the genial, ?t?i Hilly Owens, local manager. Er ? ? iapeaking of aoftball, did you see guine last week between the l^yes and the Siuclairs. Hot dog, Sutat a ding doug scrap, or was I I've seen Hixaoner, Alderman ^ Nettles get peeved soverul times 0e two years I have lived in this) Ujd little community, but this time) ^ wus blankety blank mad. And dose second to him In being irute ? clarkson Rhame. * * * gut the clouds of wrath were disced. and the sunshine of their jUea was again rampant when the folvea won a thrilling battle, 5 to 4. ? ?l from softball to taxes and pleuse sep your temper. Talking to a South Molina business man a few days d and he reports the Bales of his mpany have decreased for this year it that taxes have increased some f|dO. Government, state and federg0es blithely forward with its lading as though business and inItry have Inexhaustible resources, fej, clown, taxes up and shareholdi lose Income. In looking over some letters and that came to the desk when I u Up north during the month of ne i came upon a contribution for t Town Crier column, which I am lag to offer you folks. It's a little ft arranged for Father's day and i? follows: lire's to Dad on Father's day ie old man is a honey , hope bv gosh he likes those gifts r thev re'going to cost him money." ? * )ur thinkogram for this week, subBed by Bill Cox, Is as follows: A iwho claims that no man is good lagh for her may be right?but a again?she may be left." * * * fhe office girl had a question for nild, when that eminent divot dig-came into the saictom sanctorium few days ago. "What is a synom?" she inquired. "The word you i when you can't spell the other, )th Donald. Ain't it the truth," grunted BeckII Russell, as he listened to the ribg the fans were giving some of boys out on the softball lot the { er evening. Ain't what the truth," inquired in truly. Usten Skipper," sez Beck: was thus in the beginning, 1 1 guess will always be? ij are heroes when they're winning 1 the fans are filled with glee, the minute they start losing sn the sad reaction comes the poor sports start abusing I those heroes turn to bums.' Fe have always admired Percy r, Mu>8 for his adherence to the height' of caution. And by that wo mean, the wearing of a belt and suspenders on a pair to tight pants. They laughed when 1 sat down at the piano uttired lu a bathing suit. 1 hey didn't know 1 was going to play "By the Waters of Mlnnetonka." While this column is distinctly nonpartisan as far as politics are concerned. we do feel that the "Washington Observations" by Frederick William Wile, Washington Star commentator should be read by every reader of Th? Chronicle. We say so because we are from the north and know the northern negro 1s bound and determined to get K. D. Smith out of the United States senate. Here is what Wile has to say: "The Roosevelt fight on E. D. Smith Is based not alone on his opposition to the Roosevelt court plan but that it Is made because the negroes of the United StateB are most bent on removing him from public life. The New Deal la dependent on the votes of negroes In the North." Hats off to BUI Reeves, who has the honor of being the first pitcher to hurl a no-run and no-hlt game In the municipal softball league. The Kendall Mill laddie sure earned lots of praise when he turned back the Slnclalrs last Monday without yielding a blow or run. * And cheer for the Sinclair's from Manager Billy Owens down to the bat boy for their tine sportsmanship In rushing out to pat the rival hurler on the back after the game was over. That's the kind of Bportsmen I want to see here In Camden. In Justice to the Sinclair team, let It be said that Beck Russell, usually the best hurler in the league, has been having trouble with his flinging wing and was in no shape to work against the Hornets. Carl Dlghtfoot who started the game does not pretend to be a pitcher and the same is true of Derrick, who was galne enough to finish it when Russell just had to give up after trying to work for several frames. The lack of pitching power took the pep out of the team and they slumped badly at the bat. We now realize that Jimmy Dykes, leader of the Chicago White Sox knew what he was doing when he traded Zeke Bonura for Joe Kuhel. Zeke Is a slugger when^he Is hot but the trouble is, he seems to remain in a mild temperature most of the time. Right now he Is sitting on the bench for the Senators while a rookie first Backer Is busting them on the nose. Air Hysteria?"It's a ground, yes a ground, a .ground, yes a grounder by Lloyd Waner. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Yes, yes, Lloyd Waner hits a grounder between short and second, a grounden Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! (Voice cracks in wild hysteria). Paul Waner is at bat. Paul Waner, Paul Waner. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Its a hit, a hit, Paul Waner gets a hit, Its going out to right center. (Voice crackB). Its a triple, a triple, a swell triple. Ugh! Ugh! All of which means that Lloyd Waner hit a grounder and Paul Waner a triple.

It, Is no Illconsidered boast or individual opinion that causes the statement that In WInnsboro the two greatest South Carolinians, since the Revolutionary war period have been born. They are Dr. James H. Carlisle, long time president of Wofford college, and Dr. William Poreher DuBose, long time chaplain of the University of the South, and founder of the Theological seminary at Sewanee. These were "sun-crowned men." They have no equals in the intellectual and character-building life of South Carolina. Their birthplaces, about equidistant from the old town clock, should Tie marked with memorial pillars from the granite heart of Fairfield. They would become rare shrines for those who live above the fogs of selfishness and ambition and who dwell "in Beulah land." Pardon the turning aside to say of Fairfield, there is only one other county in South Carolina to compare with it. That is Abbevile. Their, foun- . dations are Scotch-Irish with strong infusions of Huguenot. Abbeville had Moses Waddell and later Dr. W. M. , Grier, the latter in the James H. Carlisle class, "whom money could not buy nor ambition beguile." In Winnsboro under James W. i Hudson such men as Dr. A. Toomer i Porter, Dr. Peyre Poreher, the great , botanist. MaJ. Theodore Barker, Gen. Washington A. Clark and a host of rj other distinguished low-country men , got their primary education. - For the next twenty miles to Great .

Camden, is more ancient than Wlnnsboro, and! mora modern too, la tourist aspects. No other place outside of Charleston j has such a war record as Camden. Revolutionary and Confederate, and It has more monumenta than any except the largest town in South Carolina. It should not be driven through, but a sight-seeing tour should be planned for Camden.

C. "Where the Turf Meets the SurfT POST TIME 2:30 Press Condemns Punitive Legislation The National Kditorlnl Associatton. meeting In convention at NVhlto Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, adopted a resolution of nation-wide importance concerning punitive legislation affecting business. The resolution reads: > "Whereas, JJioro has been a tendency both at Washington aud at the capitals of many statoB for loglslatlva measures to be introduced aud sponsored which are dlscrimatory and punitive in their application, and "Whereas, there is considerable fear an?J hesitation ainotiK business men because of the uncertainties arising from such a tendency,and "Whereas, we believe it the duty of the Congress of the United States und our state legislatures, in view of unemployment and othor distressed conditions and uncertainty ainoug business leaders, to encourage, aid and assist business rather than take any action through dlscrimatory and punitive taxes which, in our opinion, would further retard commerce and would tend to increase living costs, therefore be It "Resolved that the National Editorial Association goes on record as opposing such legislative enactments and "Wo further recommend that the! Hoard of Directors bo requested to dlHpatch a copy of the above action duly signed by it's officers to the members of any legislative committee at Waslngton or at a state capital at such time when united action by the non-metropolitan weekly and dally papers of America 1b doomed, In the Board's Judgement, to be prudent." That resolution, coming from the country press of America, Is highly encournglng. These newspapers have become more and more concerned with legislation and taxation which unfairly penalize business. And the majority of editors have come to the sound conclusion that all such laws class taxes are indefensible In a democratic country.
