Between You and Me
(By THE SKIPPER)
Friends, this will be good news to
the big majority and a headache to
a few. just a few, but we are pleased
i.? announce the Syracuse Chiefs will
return to Camden in March, 1940, and
if the weather is of ,the same fine
brand as has prevailed this year and
th- fans still regard the professional
boys with the same smile, it looks
as if we are going to have the pleasure
of the Chiefs fot years to come.

Mrs. Dick Porter, "Gene" Lowing,
Trainer Walsh and all members of
the Syracuse squad have won the respect
and esteem of 99 and 9-10 of
the folk around Camden. The other
one-tenth, who desire icr keep Lhfl
town In a pickle jar and preserve It
without progress, have our deepest
sympathy.
Not only have the baseball players
proved "gentlemen," but their habits
have been above reproach. In fact, as
you may perceive, we like them and
wish there were three or four more
teams like Corbett and Co. here.

This week winds up the big league
baseball season In Camden for 1939,
as the game at the end of the week
with the Charlotte Hornets will mark
the fadeout of the Chiefs to northern
climates on Tuesday.
t
We hope that every baseball fan in
Kershaw county will be out for the
Syracuse-Charlotte game.
This afternoon the Chiefs are playing
the House of David team at the
Camden park. Everybody with a baseball
mind should be out to see this
battle. The House of David team-+ir
made up of star ball players and is
liable to tip over the Chief's apple
cart.

nice ball game they had over at Florence
last Thursday. In the first place
the ball park was like a dessert and
the afternoon the Ctncy. Hods and the
Boston Red Sox spent there will linger
long as a period of sand storms.
* ?
For a fact, they had to halt the
game repeatedly because of the billowing
clouds of dust swept across
the ball park.
And when, In the olghth with the
score 18 to 18, nice game, the supply
of baseballs gave out, they called It
a day and also the game.

Getting down to the matter of whispering
breezes, let me tell you the
JaLesL ami. tile .screwiest, JLt la La ilie
effect that the Carolina Cup race Is
to bo discontinued. We can state
with marked emphasis that this is the
poorest joke of the season.
The baseball bugs who rattled over
to Columbia last week to see the
Cincy Reds and the Boston Red Sox
stage an exhibition game saw just an
exhibition tilt. The sooner the bugs
learn that these teams which travel
around together on barnstorming
jaunts never do offer much in the
W <AJr KJ L UUOUk/Uit till itio, oCGHC ?
will they save their cash.
The game here between the Chiefs
and the Augusta Tigers was a real
game. And the games with Green;
ville also packed good baseball.
Jack Corbett has booked a game
with the Columbia Reds for Monday,
April 17. at Columbia. The Chiefs
then start for Syracuse and will open
I the International league season tnat
week.
Just a word on the matter of attendance
at the Augusta and Greenville
games last week. Frankly it
\vas terrible. At the small mite asked
at the gate the park should have
.held at feast a thousand people at
these gahfes." I know a lot of places
in Uncle Sani'd domain where the
fans would have beeri out enmasse
to show their appreciation to the
team president for selecting the home
town for a training camp.

Having ,Harry Kirkover dedicate
the new baseball park was a splendid
thought on the part of the base
ball group. Mr. Kirkover has been a
power for progress in this community
and it is due to his efforts in promoting
the equestrian events that
Camden hastbecome the sport center
of tha mid-south.
E. M. Wilder, president of the Sally
league, is an old friend of Mr. Kirkover,
altho it has been many years
Blnoe they had been together. It was
a flue reunion and renewal of an old
friendship when these two friends
met at the ball game.
By the way, Mr. Kirkover donated
the use of his race course pennants
to put some life into the dedication
day program. And the flags and the
like were put in place by "Painter"
Gaskin, who did a smart bit of work
in the short time allowed him.
"Painter" also acts as score-board operator
during the games.
While passing out the compliments
Ih connection with the building of the
new baseball park here, it would be
remiss to omit the name of Tucker
Boyklnr, WPA boss In this territory.
Tucker gave the gang every assistance
In construction work and poured
an army of workers on to the Job
when the time limit was pressing and
the project battled bad 'weather. A
big bonquet to Tucker Boykln and
the boys of the WPA.

Two Soil Builders
For Sandhill Areas
Columbia, Mar 20? David K. Hopkins,
ltlchluiul county agent, states
that thorp has been an Increased interest
in the planting of lospedeita
| and crotalarla in the county. "Farmers
having clay soils or bottom lands
are especially interested In lespedeza,"
Mr. Hopkins says. "The acreage
this year will be 50 to 75 per cent
greater than last year. In February
we ordered 4,225 pounds of lespedeza
seed for farmers, and there has been
a good domutui for Heed at our local
seed stores. Much of this sued has
been planted for the Improvement of
permanent pastures, the rest for soli
building and hay crops. This increased
interest in pastures and buy is indicative
of the growing livestock industry
in Richland county.
"Crotalarla acreage will again be
increased this year. Farmers no
longer consider crotalarla a strange
crop. Even tenant farmers know
what it Is and what it does for the
land: it was difficult to drive very
far on any road in the county last
summer and not see fields of crotalarla."
The Jackson county bunk at Sylvia,
N. C,, was robbed of $853 on Monday,
and a few hours later a posse captured
two men, who are charged with
the crime. Both the prisoners admit
their guilt.

A HERE arc mere Ford car* in use today than any
other make. And there are more Ford V-8s than
any other o-cylinder car.
The 1939 Ford V- 8 represents the broadest experience
in building cars any manufacturer ever had. 1
You will find values in it far beyond what any other
maker can put into a car at the low Ford price.
Ford performance, traditional for a generation,
has reached new heights in the 1939 V- 8.
And now Ford style leadership is equally outstanding.
"The smartest cars on the road" is the way owners
describe their new Fords. Smartest in action. Smartest
in appearance. Leaders, as they deserve to be.
