Chiefs Win
Came From Sumtei
The Sumter Gamecock*, a fu?t ?'?
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.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINOS
(By Spectator)
Eel us face ?facts; the time for
j pussy-footing l? over. 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. \

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

Spartan Juniors Win
in First Legion Game
Spartanburg Legion Juniors defeated
Camden Juniora 6 to 3 in the first
game of a t wo-oubof-three game seriea
played in Spartanburg Monday
afternoon for the upper state title.
The little Chiefs made a gallant
stand against an older and more seasoned
ball club. The Spartans had
Wham at short stop; Wood at third;
McMillan, catcher; Shirley centerfielder
and Lynch at first base. All
were seasoned players from last
years' little world series contest.
It was Wham and Lynch's timely
hitting that won the game for the
Spartans.
Camden scored first and retained
that lead for four innings, then the
Spartans let a burrage of hits by Tindall,
Collins and Lynch to bring across
two runs. In the sixth inning Camden
tied the score by two errors and
a hit by Hough. In the seventh a
walk, a two base hit by Wham, and
a single by McMillan scored two runs.
In the eighth a two base hit by Collins
and an error by Hunnicut scored)
Collins. In the ninth a three base j
hit by Hunnicutt and a hit by Hunter]
scored one run. Afterwards Blackwell
got Kelly, Robinson and Marshall ]
out in easy order.
It was a real pitcher's duel between
Blackwell and Kelley. Collins led the
Spartans with three hits.
