Hteutly bunch of aeaaonod college players, came to town with every Indl cation of winning a ball game laal Saturday. They had defeated Camden In Sumter 10 to 4 on Thursday. They had won seven straight games having beaten Hartavllle and Chester, and now were facing the lowly Chiefs who had acquired a losing complex In the past several games. Nevertheless. when those Chiefs trotted on the field they had blood in their eyes. They showed pep and were on their toes every minute of the game.' The outfielders backed up each other, and backed the lnfielders. The lnfielders went after everything. When those fielders began hustling "Speedy" Moore begaln bearing down. Moore has been pitching good ball the | whole season but due to poor support at times It was hard for him to win a game. He allowed Sumter only 8 hits, and to help his own cause he collected three nice hits. Even though Camden's team Is mail* up only of local la.l? who Ilka to play baseball, but do not possess the baseball background that Sumter, Chester. Hartavllle and Lancaster posm-sses. they play because they like to "T^ay Ix.cal fans should follow them and encourage them even when they make an error. The score: R V '' Camden ' 4 8 1 Sumter empires: Sapp and Moore. The Chiefs will play Hartavllle I hern Saturday, July 23. i NOTICE TO KERSHAW COUNTY WHEAT PRODUCERS The operators or farms on which wheat was not seeded for harvest la any one of the years 1937, 1938 and 1939, but on which wheat will bo seeded for harvest in 1940. muBt request tho county committee in writing for specified wheat acreage allotment under the 1940 program.

Are wo for White rule, or have wc bartered our j birthright for generous Ke^furea, nice language and fulaome promises? That vp have beer betrayed by our own political party la known: that thy princlplea of our futhera have been trampled on by some of our leaders la known. Now what are wo going to do about It? Three yeura ago moat of the delegates to the National Demoerutic convention Impliedly accepted, sponsored and promoted negro participation iu the Party. Well, la that what you stand for? Klther a trade was made with the negroes, or our Party deliberately deceived them. Somebody was deceived; and somebody was betrayed. We Southern people do mean to be bound by any political trades with northern negroes; we should be square enough to disavow such trades, but, hotter still, we should be above deceiving the negroes or betraying [ our own people. Shall we send a delegation to the ' next Democratic convention which I will Join in making the Democratic { Party a negro Party? There is no man who has any claim which entitles him to be chosen a delegate. A few have always aspired to these "honors, ' after fighting and trading for the "honors"; but let's be sure that we send men who represent us; not men who represent some candidate or hope to get some recog ) | nltlon or Job. i Is not the WPA an Invention of the I government to provide wages for men | who are out of work and can't get jobs In private business? Is It a necessary work? Is it a really useful or economical arrangement? You can answer that. How, then, do the WPA employees feel at liberty to protest about hours? Why are lubor organij zatlons taking part in this? All men are entitled to fair and humane treatment; but In the very nature of things WPA work must be less attractive than private employment. Otherwise we shall rear a genj eration of WPA men and keep up the i WPA forever. ; Emphasis should be given to the i temporary nature of WPA work. It Is a form of assistance or relief and wholly unnecessary. The government I should dismiss every man who strikes and bar Mm from the rolls. Saturday morning 1 drove out three or four miles to see one of these Economic Problems No. 1, and came hack with peaches, cantaloupes, watermelons, milk, ros'n ears, green corn and mutton corn. A great country., Isn't it? Eggs and chickens, okra and tomatoes, string beans, butter beans? and so on. Thai's what keeps us lowcountrymen so cocky all the time. But you can get a "line meal of vittles" anywhere in South Carolina anytime, from Beaufort even unto Pickens. Senator J. B. Britton, of Sumter, 1 said in the senate that extra pay Is the greatest curse that has ever afflicted the state. That is putting it pretty strong," but let's look into | this. There may be three sides to every | question: Your side. m> aid'-, and the right side. I can understand all I three sides, but no progress is made ; in this world except by getting >n the I rich: side What is the right side? That a man shall not increase hi- flay for something which he has obligated himself to do for a stipulated sum. True it is that at times circumstances or conditions may suggest a higher price or wage, but that would mean that a man asks for more and abides the will of his employer. Ethically a man cannot justify himself for reaching into the cash drawer and increasing his own pay. He may he worth it; he may deserve it; he may request it; or he may demand It; but to tako It of his own motion violates a principle of responsible stewardship. Men argue that the legislators saved money to the state by the prolonged session and that this saving Justifies an Increase of pay. Well, can you justify wrong In order to do good? Our legislators ought to face this question squarely: If the business of the state cannot be properly attended to In forty days, then propose an amendment to the Constitution; if the $400 now allowed a member of the legislature be inadequate propose a new salary; but do It properly. Nothing offends the average citizen so much as the "extra pay" issue. It is causing John Citizen to disparage some capable public servants. The Constitution is very clear about mileage, pay, extra pay, and all that. The clear-thinking men of the senate and house should put this right. Let's face the issue frankly and do away with subterfuges. \ ) t The General Assembly adjourned afi { ef^-passing three appropriation bills. The firs* one was called a Deficiency! bill and restored certain cuts made I by the Budget commission. That billj carried a total of $694,733.99. It may be pointed out that the cuts were fully Justified by conditions and the Deficiency bill was entirely unjustified. Who has repaid our factories and' stores for their cuts and losses? Who has compensated the farmers for their! thirty to forty per cent losses? Who, indeed, has indemnified thousands ofj men "let out" through slack business,! in cases where they were not covered i by unemployment compensation? Nobody! Well, why all this bowing and] cringing before our institutions? Were they cut in proportion to the loss of, revenue by Individuals? No! The second Appropriation bill was the big bili, the General Appropriation bill. It had a total of $12,553,208. The third Appropriation bill was also styled a Deficiency bill but was in fact a supplementary appropriation bill, and carried a total of perhaps a couple of hundred thousand, or two! fifty?mere chicken feed, you know. ' So this legislature authorized a total of $13,497,946 in three bills. , The members of the legislature fought, suffered and endured from I January to July principally because ! of the second bill?the one for $12,553,2<?8. But even for the fiscal year! which ended June 30, 193S?a year! ! before the session of endurance?thej | state spent $47,947,241.66. Read the; report of the Budget commission. And1 for the year ending June 30, 1939, | j the auditor estimated expenditures at! $49,000.000?while the legislature was* ! wrestling with the bill to determine whether it should be twelve million nr fourteen million dollars for 19391940. [ There is a lot of talk about controllJ ing highway funds; but if the highway fund be $12,000,000. the Appropriation hills $13,497,946. and the expenditures total $19,00n.000 it appears I that a lot of money sifts through the, sieve. j FIVE MEMBER8 OF FAMILY KILLED IN AUTO-TRUCK CRASH Kalamazoo, Mich., July 17.?Five members of a Kalamazoo family wcro killed today in an automobile-truck collision on U.
