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.

"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.

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

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.
