August 2<? From Camden the round trip fare to Portsmouth Is only $3 25. Tickets art) good on certain trains Friday night. Saturday and Sunday morning. The final return limit is Monday night. Norfolk Portsmouth and their beach environs are now lit the height of one of their best seasons. \ irgina lieueh. Ocean View, Cape Henry and other resorts in the area are entertaining thousands daily. Although bathing In the Atlantic at \ irgluiu Beach and in the more placid waters of Chesapeake Bay at Ocean View, maintain foremost position in allurement, golf, tennis, horseback riding aud flshintng share the limelight to a great extent, while beach clubs and casinos are the main attraction in after-dark entertainment hNohinv i? ii/iuj season. The past week, for example, has witnessed a great influx of Ocean View spot, famed far and wide by fishermen for thoir capriciousnesa, and by all for their delicacy. One of the biggest attractions of the week end for baseball fans will be the Charlotte-Norfolk" games on Saturday and Sunday. These two league-lenders wiH be terminatingone of the most crucial series of the sea-, son In the hotly fought Piedmont League. Ample time is allowed on this Seaboard excursion for visiting the many historic shrines in the Norfolk aera. The Virginia Seashore is the cradle of the nation. Cape Henry is the landing spot of the first ""English settlers in America In 1607, and Jamestown, their first permanent settlement Is nearby. Close by also are Yorktown and Williamsburg where so many significant events in the early history of Colonial America took place. Williamsburg Is now almost completely restored to its original Colonial splendor. WHAT SAY YOU? Burnet R. Maybank, mayor of Charleston, Is a candidate for election as governor of South Carolina. If, as a candidate, he promise law enforcement If elected, he probably means enforcement of such laws as meet his personal approval. He Is the head of the government of the largest city In South Carolina. Both i legislative investigating committee and the grand Jury of the county In which Is located the city of which he Is mayor have charged that various laws, pjarticularly those against illegal sales of liquor and against gambling, are openly and flagrantly violated in that city. What may be expected o* him if elected governor? In April, 1933, he appeared before a committee of the South Carolina senate in a hearing as to legalizing sales of beer In South Carolina. He said: "If the beer bill passes, Charleston will drink and pay. If it doesn't, Charleston will drink and not pay. rhe United States- government can't 3top it, and I can tell you the police department has no idea of stopping It" Is that the kind of man law-abiding people of South Carolina want to bave charge of enforcement of the laws of their state? It may be that no man can become mayor of Charleston who does not make a working Arrangement with the blind tigers, gamblers, policy vendors and lottery shop runners of that city, but South Carolina is as yet different from that. The methods of control of Charleston politics have not yet become the methods of control of South Carolina state politics. God forbid that they should do so!?GreenviHe Observer If, as Candidate Brown points out, PWA workers in South Carolina, get but 75 cents per day, while In Northem aTTti -Midwestern fMetes they gat 15 per day, why try to put the blame on Senator Smith? Why not put It on Senator Byrnes, or In other Southern Btates, on George of Georgia, Reynolds of North Carolina. Byrd of Virginia. where the pay scale ranges right along with that in South Carolinalina? Why not put It where it belongs? Why not put it on President Roosevelt or WPA Administrator Hopkins? They are. the ones who set the wage scales In all the states. If th? President la so concerned about the low level of living in the South, why doesn't he do something about raising It? Hasn't he the power and the money with which to do the raising? Cer-. tainly Senator Smith cannot increase the pay scale over the head of the President or Mr. Hopkins.?YorkTlll? Enquirer Japan's population increased 972,835 last year In spite of its war with China. The nation's birthrate wa? 13.6 per 1.000 of population, which Is more than double the blrthrat? of the United State?, 6.1 per 1,000. COMMENT8 ON MEN AND THINGS (By Spectator) A lot of Information U floating around. Surprising what you can l?lck up. About u month ago a knightly geuttoman borrowed a mailing list front nie. He found Just what he wanted and will probably return my lis! when his secretary remembers it. These secretaries! Well, lot's pass over that; thuy are to blame for all the boss' errors; that's part of the job. you know. A week ago a distinguished leglsltor asked me how much the state spent in 1892, 189f>, 1898 and 1908. 1 need an accountant to dig up the items. In those yeurs the legislators passed separate l^ws for appropriations, Instead of one big bill. The one big bill is convenient, but It also leads to a lot or debt. Glancing over the appropriation bill for 1909 I was Impressed by the total, $1,631,949.19. The legislators felt called upo nto pay a little extra money for "extra services," so they added $490. Four hundred ninety dol tti rj- t incia, viicaji nnhipo, ouirtj. $490! Why a legislature of today would pay $490 to a porter for extra, special and heart-gladdening remembrance. And think it small change. This year we are spendltyt $37,000,000,000, (according to Ben Adams) or $41,000,000 (according to Neville Bennett). Take your choice. "The difference is $4,000,000, but that is a "small Bimirp&Ton" To the TrTe "TiamTet! !eT lows of our day. In 1909?well, say in 1909 we had no automobiles (Just one occasionally. When my old friend Edgar Cato sold his black marc and bought the new "Model T" we "gathered" from all points of the compass to look it over). We had no paved roads, no radios, Just a rare movie, no barbecue sandwiches, no hot dogs at filling stations, because no filling stations, no airplanes, no ice cream cones, mighty little "dope", no girls smoking cigarets no ladies forever looking in little mirrors and touching their faces. (They used to wash and powder at home and that lasted till they got back). Still, we thought we were civilized, even advanced, and cherished secret vanity over our culture. We read the papers and went out to hear Doctor Snyder or Professor Cllnkscales in the school house. But now those simple days are over. We rise to great cultural heights, listening to some crooner or eating hamburgers by^ the side of the road. 0 tempora, o mores! 1 started to tell about the information that Is floating about. A gentleman called to see me recently in earnest quest of some information. He had worked out a plan and had sought in vain for some data. He came to me. And, do you know, I showed him every detail that he wanted. Where was it? In the annual report of. J. Roy Jones, State Commissioner of Agriculture. There's lots to be learned by reading the state reports. Every man under his own vine and fig tree. That points to ownership of the place, peace, plenty and contentment. Spectator delights to talk about it and rejoices In his own vine and fig tree. Literally, true it is, for be has several fig trees and a wide spreading scuppernong vine?not to mention several watermelon vines. And, of course, plums, peach trees, an apple tree and pear trees. Nut trees, too. Just think of all the little things which make a home place?the house, the yard and the surroundings and trees. I have a pomegranate tree, too, but for years my ownership was Just nominal, as small boys of the neighborhod always harvested the fruit. However, those small boys are young men now, so I have a chance. After all is said, I'm not so keen on those pomegranates. Years ago I read in a Latin lesson, (dug it out, you know, by main force and awkwardness), I read that a girl?Proserpina?bad eaten the seed of wicked pomegranate and was compelled to llye for a time In the Infernal regions. In view of all that, j don't particularly "hanker after" pomegranates. In.this day and time one can have infernality without deliberately eating a pomegranate Coming back to the vine again. A watermelon vine betokens the fleeting Joys of life, for - no one plants melons In the same spot two years. I hunt tnelons and find them a quarter of a mile from the house this year or a half mile In another direction next year, and so on. Nature co-operates, too, so that the neighbors may not get the low down on your .melons. But the grapevine I There she stands i Always In the same place, even for the children unto the third and fourth generations. The grape vine, symbol of permanence. That's why we wish for every man hit own vine and fig tree?but not watermelon vine. There In a lot at stake In races for governor and senator. In the senatorial race there 1s a principle Involved. Are we to elect a senator to represent this state in the affairs of the nation; or Shall we choose a man to follow the lend of some one- else? Kershaw Guernseys To Go To Bahamas Mr. N. IV CSeiiya of Logoff sold 1head of oowh to KloUher Limited Those cows will l?ave Wednesday on thoir long journey. Four mature rows and eight Jicifera were sold Prices received fi|f these cow# ranged from $76.00 to $100.00 per head. Very few, If any, cows are found on the island and the company that bought theni^are buying to* see If dairying can's be made profitable there They were seeking the best that could be bought. This speaks very highly of Mr. Outtys' herd. Nicholas P. Clettys, Jr., will go to Kloither Island as dairyman for tho man who bought the cows. Is a sonator expected to act on his own judgment and conscience; or la ho expected to be a sort of Mary's little lamb? This is too big u country to be ruled by one man, All the brains and experience of t>ur senators ,and representatives and judges are iicciicu iui lite girai loniv 01 gururuIng a vast territory of such varied interests. 1 would rather huve a onomau government with full responsibility in him that) a so-called representative government composed of men who do not use their own brains, but merely register tho thought of some one else. We are safer with men who can't be bought, bullied or briVw-bea ten'. The death of Dr Charles H Hertv. of Savannah, ends ouo of the most useful careers In the hiBtory of American industrial developments. Dr. Herty's research In industrial chemistry had such wide economic results that he may bo regarded as an outstanding builder of the new South. Dr. Herty had lived a very long and useful life. He was not a fly-bynight theorist just imagining things; but he was a trained chemist who had studied for many years and experimented In the field of agricultural and Industrial chemistry. The discovery which we think of today in connection of Dr. Herty is that the common field pines of the South, ten years old, can be made into pulp and then used for the manufacture of paper. Our newspapers use millions of tons of paper a year. This paper has been Imported for the most part, though some of It came from New England. The researches of Dr. Herty's have created a market for young pine, which will make It possible to set out and harvest pines for puljf every ten years. As a result of Dr. Herty's work many millions of dollars have recently been invested In the South, In pulp mills. Dr. Herty falls far short of being another Edison, but he rates high up among the benefactors of the nation, particularly of the South. It should not be overlooked that a South Carolinian had done a great deal of work along the line of Dr. Herty's great achievement. I refer to that most remarkable man, Major James Lide Coker, of Hartsville. The more one learns of Major Coker, the greater is the stature of the man. The governorship is more important la. pb than many seem to think. The powers of the governor have been sharply curtailed, but he still has the veto. Then, again, there is a moral power or force of leadership in the governor's office which can be made the dominant influence in the state. A strong personality can use the governor's office to lead the state sanely and constructively; or he can use it to foment dissension and destruction. Where does the President get his great power? Congress could put the President on a back seai, if it wished to do so, but politicians in congress fear the persuasive appeal which the President makes to tho people. The real power of the President Is a sort of moral force which has overwhelmed the congress. That Illustrates what might happen in our state. It is Important that our state shall have strong, capable leadership. No man in the legislature can dominate the state aB a moral force; but a governor might. What do we need? Most of our leadership has been in spending money. That is the easiest task known to humanity. But the great problem of fashioning our political life and institutions so as to promote the development of the state has not been even seriously considered by the majority. Most of the brains of our state have worked in one groove and that is to put on taxes and spend more money. _ We need a leadership that is strong enough, with vision and grasp of basic factors to rebuild this state and put it abreast of the best. Instead of that we have one crowd zealously putting all kinds of laws on the books and proudly ^-pointing to them as choice fruits of noble efforts; Whereas the victim of most of these laws is the man they profess to serve?the work lng man. . Some day the workers will have to pray to*be saved from theii friends for their political friends are reducing their opportunity to earn. 11 *A * ... v f. FIRST HEROINE OF FILM SERIAL THRILLERS DIES IN FRANCE Tails. August 4.?Pearl White, IIihI heroine of the old American movie aoriul thrillers who always did her own dare-devil stunts, died today in the American hospital. She was 411 and had been ill for several weeks of a liver ailment. In the days when the motion picture business was young, movie audiences sat on the edge of their stats tUi-llliuur la tha "Pui'llu q( Puulintv" an adventure-packed soriul in which the beauteous heroine managed to reach death's door at the end of each chapter, never to die. "Pauline" was blonde Pearl White, catupulted to fame as the first of the dare devils of the screen. Resides the "Perils of Pauline" there were the "Exploits of Eluine" and a dozen other serials of the eatne melodramatic cast. 1)oa mMnyr n?? t )i iu She went to Paris in the early twenties, and afterward saw little of the United States. For several years she was in the gay international set at Paris and' Deauville. In later years she lived more quietly, eathor aL. her town house at Paris or her chateau at Gazoran, near R&mbouillet. She made short trips to the United States in 1927 and 1937. On this latter trip hor hair was still blonde, her face rather full. She went abroad in the first placo because her movie days had effected her health. Hare-back riding and stunting for the films took a toll, and her eyes had been effected by tho lights employed in the early studios. She appeared in Paris revues and made a few films, the last in 1927. In the same year she made her last public appearance, on a London stage.
