C. Phone 94 Mostly About Horses By B. W. HEATH Mm. Itaymond Woolfe and her committee In charge of the twenty-ninth annual Camden Horse Show have an interesting bit of entertainment plan*nr fh?? lovers of good horse flesh out at the show ring on the Marlon du Pont Scott estate today and tomorrow . . . this show has grown by leaps and bounds during the past few years, as is evidenced by the addition of ( lasses for polo ponies and steeplechase horses to the two-day program. Miss Ann Miller, of den Cove, L I., who carried off lop honors in the Virginians' show last month with Orphan Hoy, will be pointing for her second Camden win . . . Miss WllhHmlne S. Kirby's Grand Han. a four-year-old son of Dan IV and Grand Peggy, will be hard t<> beat in the Model Hunter < iass . Grand Dan did well for himself in tin- Virginians* show this year and although lie hasn't shown Orphan Boy's class over the Jumps, he's a youngster that'll bear watching. Not that we're prejudiced by silky blonde hair against a dark pine background, but most of you will admit that you'll have to go a long way bofore you'll see a prettier picture that Miss Bruner Hunneman and Blue Zli> . . .

The turf writers who were stringI ing along with Stagehand to take tire Wldener last Saturday all suffered a twenty degree drop In prestige when Warren Wright's Bull Lea turned into the stretch and crossed iho tape four 1 enghts ahead of the Howard favorite . . . racing's a funny game . . . Bull Lea. who disappointed in the Derby and the Pnakness last year, then went on to beat Stagehand in one race and to bo beaten by him In another . . . never sure before, turfmen will now point with pride and call him a good colt and a stayer Stagehand, backed at 7 to 20, who went lo California last year and carried the Howard silks to a victory over Seahlscult. smashed through all opposition.

What is offered in the line of comment and patter in "Between You ant! ' Me" is the pergonal opinion of your Skipper and does not reflect in auy way the opinion or attitude of the editor of The Chronicle. I say this for the reason that I do not want the odiLor of this fine little paper criticised for any utterances of mine. m What I am about to open fire as an Introductory blast this week concerns the recent act of the South Carolina house of representatives in voting down a bill to require safety Inspection on all motor cars. To quote from Puck "What Fools These Mortals Be." Of all the ridiculous arguments ever offered In a legislative chamber were those offered agatuMt the adoption of this fine measure. | South Carolina trails other states In many measures without adding one more to the list. Practically every state, every county, every city in the domain of Uncle Sam has a law which rwquii es safety inspection of automobiles. Safety Inspection of automobiles is a real safety measure, sponsored and approved by the National Safety Council as well as every right thinking community. Safety inspection of automobiles should be a God-send to the poor man, and not a hardship as some of the solons over In Columbia believe. The poor man is the individual who can least afford to be injured or killed If Injured, he has doctor and hospital bills to pay. He loses his Job because of not being able to go to work. If he Is killed, his family suffers. And listen folks, there are hundreds of mechanical wrecks traveling the highways of South Carolina today, each one a potential Juggernaut of death and destruction. Safety Inspection Is in the main Insurance against faulty brakes?in the most part, Draaes iliai uw not v.'crk. The rich man has the means to pay the hospital bill and the doctor and he does not have to worry over fi, nances, that his family might go hungry if he is laid up or killed. It's the poor man who faces the music and paj'H the piper if his brakes do uot work. * What this state needs is men of greater vision, men who have traveled and know what is being done in centers where "safety first" is ever to the fore. e * Compensation I wish everybody liked ine? There are some thai don't. Hut the ones who really like me, Make up for those who won't. Jack Corbett, owner and manager of the Syracuse Chiefs arrived in Camden last Friday and after taking a look at the baseball plant expressed I himself as being pleased with the progress made in getting the park in shape for the opening of the training season on March 15. Corbett believes when the work is completed and grass covers the entile outfield, Camden will have as fine a baseball layout as there is in tho i ountry. Corbett, a fine gentleman, was accompanied here by his wife, a charmj iiiL' personality, and they have taken i up residence at the Court Inn, where the entire squad of players will h?? | quartered during the four weeks of I the ; raining season looks like baseball is really going to < ome into Its own here in Camden The opening game on the spring j training schedule of the Chiefs will ()? with the Cb-nison college pai timers here on March 27. * And it won't be long fellows before j we'll all be singing Take Me Out t<> t the Bail Game." Harlan Rdwards, sport commentaI tor of the Columbia State was at the ! polo field Sunday to look over the po! nies and riders and to chat with Harry I> Klrkover We wager Harlan secured a lot of information for his Paddock Palter column from Mr. Kirk. ! Abe Fennell, sports editor of The t State dropped in at the field to talk { shop and tell the folks Camden is right out in front 30 far as sports are concerned. Fennell was looking around for Jack Corbett of the Syracuso team Says he knew Corbett when the latter baseballed around Columbia m We note from a Philly paper (story elsewhere in this paper) that Reddish j knocked out a boxer in 50 seconds j the other night, the sport writer j claiming some kind of a record for WADE H. JONES DIES AT HOME AFTER LENGTHY JLLNE88 Kershaw, Mar. 6.?Wade 11. Junes. 60, died mi his home here about midnight Irtbi night after having been confined to his bed approximately two and one half years. Mr. Jones was from one of the pioneer families of this section. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Narrlne GoflT Jones, of Kershaw, four brothers. J S. Jones, 11. M. Jones, of Kershaw; J. K. Jones, of Ocala, Fla.;j 14. C Jones, of Greenville; four sisters, Miss Rebecca and Miss Laura Jones, Mrs. B. M. Wilson and Mrs. 1) L. Mathis, all of Kershaw. Funeral services were conducted at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning from the First Baptist church of which he was a member by his pastor, the Rev. L>. M. Sanders and the Rev. D. A. Phillips, pastor of the Methodist church, with interment in Kershaw cemetery kayo speed! IT our memory serves us right Jack Dempsey holds the sleep swat record, as he put Fred Fulton out in some 12 seconds of a first round milling back when Jack was in his heyday. , While we believe that Tony Oalento is going to be duck soup for Joe LouIb when they meet next summer, we are not inclined to pan Mike Jacobs for staging the fight. The fans have clamored for a meeting between Tony and Joe and to satisfy them Mike arranged the match. Now the wise I birds are saying shocking things about the affair. Looks to ub as If j Tony Is the only man In the heavy! weight ranks who could make any I kind of a showing against the Brown | Bomber. And as ye said before, we can't see where Tony has a chance I unless he happens to sink one of his pile-driving swats when Joe isn't looking. Just' as we predicted?those Monetta, 8. C., gals didn't waste any time in taking the measure of the Groveland, Florida, maidens in the interstate scrap on the niapleB at Monetta last Saturday night. It was a free scoring event with Monetta rolling up 67 points to 65 for Groveland. But listen, that Groveland team may turn the tables in the return game at Groveland. ? Camden high boys went out in the first round of the state cage iourna. ment at Columbia last week. Sumter turned the trick after a hard fight in which Camden showed plenty of class. Lynch in particular, earned the plaudits of the sport writers for his fine play. Sumter proved easy picking for a powerful Charleston team in the semifinals and when the final tilt between Columbia Caps and Charleston was called Saturday night we had bet the electric range, a busted clock and a coal bucket against a coarcola that Charleston would be out in front at the final gun by a big margin. And that is just what happened. Martin Is Held In __ Bond of $5,000 Floyd Martin, turned over to Aiken authorities after being apprenemieu here following an attempted robbery at The Klrkwood hotel, is being held in the Aiken couqty Jail under bond of $5,000, to await a tfial on a charge of robbing the home of Mrs. Howard Howell at Aiken on March 26, 1938. In the event Martin is able to fur. nish bail, the Augusta, Ga., police will step in and take him into custody , ?he being wanted at that place for , investigation in connection with jewel robberies there. Martin has been positively identi>fied by a maid in the home of Mrs. Howell, as being the stranger she encountered prowling about the house on the day of the robbery. ra\'""Martin and Summers, taken I into custody here with Martin, hare I been released by the Aiken police be-H cause of lack of evidence to connect?

In preserving this revenue for the nation, the brewers recognize that the retailing of beer must give no offense to anyone. It is not, of course, the brewers' responsi bility to enforce the law. But they are cooperating with all enforcement officials... to see to it that the laws you have made are rigidly observed.
