We expect any day to hear that
Stanley Babln has signed Mickey
Cochrane, Charley Grimm and a few
of the major league beenwassers to a
Slnclalre outfit. He has signed and
unsigned Larry Staloy so many times
of late that our record sheet looks
like one of those rIcW-twMee puzzles.
But Stan's a swell guy ami we know
that the triple entente-consisting of
genial Bill Owens. Babbling Beck Russell
and DeLuxe Stan are utilizing every
strategy and string jerking known |
to man, to build up a team that can
take the Kendalls in the all-important
little World Series.
And if you don't believe me, ask
Gabby Plyler, the yes-man of the entente.

And rightly so. For the bus is a beauty
and will fill a long-needed want in

Things I heard on the street. A lot
of $25.00 a week punks who look down
upon WPA workers and relief clients
ought to stop and think about their
own lot for a minute. They'd find
that the only thing standing between
them and a WPA pay check is their
job, and instead of looking down upon
persons in those unfortunate circumstances
they ought to mutter to
themselves, "there, but for the grace
of God, go I.*
Well folks, however, the war turns
out you can't call the Chinese "yellow
any more.

Back to Camden. The Kershaw

Tough luck the Wolves were crippled
for that Friday i^lght game with
the Kendalls. Had Clarkson Rhame,
ace hurler and George West, who
went to the 8partanburg.Birmingham
long distance batUe at Sumter, boen
In the lineup the battle would hare
been a real one.
The Wolves fought gamely, but
Without a pitcher to use against the
slugging hornfets. they were powerless
and the Mill hoys won In a walk.
The Kendalls Increased their lead
by two games over the Wolves. During
the week the Kendalls had a Monday
assignment with the Merchants
and on Wednesday were scheduled to
battle the Essos. On the dope sheet
the Hornets should take the Merchants
but would find themselves
hard pressed against the Essos. TJe
Wolves have one game during a
week, that being this afternoon with
the Merchants and here again the
dope favors the' Wolves.
Let us pass the orchids to that
Merchant crew for their . gameneas
and sportsmanship in the face of
tough breaks and apparently lnsurmountable
odds. The boy. , never

! And a nice bunch of posies to
Beckham Ruasall for some awaat mm
plring last Friday night. Not that
Beck had any close decisions to pass
upon, but he was Johnny- on- the
| spot when the Wolves sought to
stall in the third inning In the hopes
that darkness would end the combat
before the regulation four and a half
innings had been played. "Play ball
or get off the field" yelled Beck and
By Gosh, he meant It.
There is a wave of complaint over
the failure of the umpires In the Legion
Junior games to "speed 'em
up". In the games between Spartanburg
and Sumter the play dragged on
leaden wings and in the game Friday
between Spartanburg and Birmingham,
the crowd sat some three hours
under a blistering sun to see dragout
exhibition of pastlming.
The umpires have the right to
speed these games up and the proper
officials should see that they do
it. If you ask me, there is plenty of
room for a heck of a lot of improvement
in the handling of these state
and district title events.
A good friend stopped in to state
that he did not think the new softball
diamond and park should be
placed near the number 1 highway.
Later on we bad a friend remark
that "someone had remarked to him"
that it should not be placed near
the railroad tracks where it could be
seen from passing trains.

Granged to the title of Camden's Galloping

well that not a single one wanted to
be taken out of the game.
Well, we set a national record anyhow.

Large Fund Ready
To Fight Mosquitos
One of the most Intensive battles
against the Anopheles mosquito, the
so-culled malaria pest, ever conducted
in the aoutheust will be started soon
In Kershaw county on an enormous I
scale, as the result of the approval of
a 9300,000 project by the federal goveminent.
Announcement of the project's approval
was made by T. M. Hall, Federal
Supervisor of Mosquito Control
in Kershaw county.
The appropriation approval climaxes
months of earnest effort by interested
parties. Shortly after F. N. McCorkle
took churgo of the city government aH
mayor, he requested Mr. Hall to prepare
a sketeh showing all the ditches
and swampland? within the city limits.
It ana Mr. McCorkle'a Idea at the
time to get a mosquito control campaign
under way. Mr. Hall's efforts
went beyond the boundaries of Camden,
covering tin- entire county. On
April 25th he submitted the sketch
and data to Washington.
On July 11, the government turned
over 9G0.000 for the campaign and on
August 16 notice was received that an
additional 9300,000 would be available.
This means, according to. Mr.
Hall, the increasing of the present
force of 200 men tn *?fin u-ithln a iimnlr.
Of the amount named, the sum of
960,000 will be expended In Camden,
which If judiciously and skillfully
I used, will give this city a marked relief
from the malaria insect.
Mr. Hall announces that the work
will involve the draining of all swamp
land, grading of all ditches to permit
proper drainage, filling in all low
places, In fact, as nearly a complete
eradication of mosquito places as Is
possible. In order to make the move
a success, Mr. Hall states that public
cooperation will bo required. Reports
of all places where water accumulates
and remains for more
than seven days should be reported
to him or to Tucker Boykin.
At the present time drainage of
swampland near Kershaw, is being
carried out. Near Bethune there is a
ditch four miles long and eight feet
I de? p being given attention by the labi
overs. Seventy-nine "borrow pits" in
| the county will be filled up.
The health department, through
i the energetic efforts of Donald Mor;
rison. newly appointed health ini
spector. has made a survey of the
fine highways, large areas through
which they pass are rendered unfit
Battle fronts for the fight against
the breeding places in Kershaw county
will bo under the supervision of
Mr. Hall. In Camden the city board
of health, consisting of Harold Fun
derburk, Dr. Carl West, Dr. Oeo'go
Rhame, L. Jones and Hughey Tlndal.
tho city council health committee
consisting of Commlsaiomers Clyde
Massabeau, Charles Vllllplgue and
Jack Nettles, and Health Officer Donald
Morrison are all ready for the Intensive
campaign. I
city and Is calling the attention of
citizens to the need of preventing
water from stagnating In tin cans,
barrels, etc. All these are prolific
sources for breeding of mosqultos.
State and county highway departments
will be forced to either drain^
or fill "borrow pits" along the highways
These pits are made by digging
out material needed for fills and other
construction work With no drainage
provided they have become breeding
places for malaria mosquitoa. Areas
from which soil has been borrowed
should either bo drained or graded.
