Of particular Interest to the readers of The Chronicle Is the article appearing elsewhere In this Issue regarding the presentation of a resolution by tlie board of directors of tho South Carolina Public Service Authority upon tin* resignation from (hut body of A Stanley Llewellyn, ufiectlonately known to his friends as ."Stan." > Wo are cognizant of the many honors generously bestowed upon our fellow citizen Mis share Is larger than the average, yet honors are never lightly conferred and it Is only through diligent and sincere application to duty that the office seeks the man. in being ihus signally honored, Stan Llewellyn has brought honor to Kershaw county and to his home city. In years gone by, men of Kershaw county have been leaders In the state and have lent their influence to the betterment thereof There Is no reason that we know of why Kershaw county men should not continue this leadership Stan Llewellyn Is doing' his part and it Is the hope of The Chronicle that he may go on and on to greater achievements and Influence j others to do llkowlse WHY BE POLITICALLY BLIND? t "Would it riot he wiser If you presented Senator Byrnes for serious consideration for the presidential nomination"" asks a friend "You suggest him as a favorite son, and suggest that other Southern states 11111 forward their favorite sous, hut then you say the nomination is not* likely to come to any one of these Southern leaders. Why take that attitude ?" It is not lack of respect for Senator Byrnes' ability thai has caused TtVo STMte Til take"? he attitude described Neither IS the attitude based on lack of tespiTi for the ability of other Southern favorite son: But The State does not like to knl its'df., or i'.s readers, or to try to do that Honest and frank recognition of fact> and of what probably are facts seems to thi> newspaper to he a wise politiea! course; and one fact. <>r probable fact, i.-> this a presidential nomination w ill net be given to i South Curoiini.wi partly because this is a small state, partly because is cert.I :!

Smarting under the 11 to 3 beating meted out by a fast, alert country foursome lust Sunday 1 own will be prepared .to make the Hates, Tupper, Mlnntck and Robertson combination travel at lop speed to lake the game this week-end. Despite a cold wind that blew down from Medicine Hat, where blustering King Uoreas makes his habitat, some seven to eight hundred enthusiastic spectators watched the rout of Town by Country last Sunday. With warmer weather promised for the coming Sunday, Indications are that between 1,500 and 2,000 people will gather from the city and front points In South us well as North Carolina, to witness the game. Uist Sunday live of the leading sport writers of the mid-South lent their august presence | to the assemblage that shivered in the ' wintry cold. Announcement was made by the Camden polo club this week that the season's polo program would be sponsored by the American Legion Cost in Camden this season. This means that the polo program, while providing sport and exercise for the players, will provide u fund for the charitable activities of the American Legion. A small foe of two-bits will be charged spectators at all games. This fee is not extorted of subscribers to the parking spaces about the tiold or to outsiders who desire to purchase a parking space for the afternoon. The officers from the Sixth Division of the I'nited States army in camp at Camp Jackson, who viewed the game last Sunday, wero loud in their praise of the attractive appearance of the number one field?now known as tite Kirk wood Field. The turf is soft and springy, the buildings and fences have all been newly lyiinted and there is an interesting and pleasant atmosphere over the polo area. dr. dreher's editorials York county seems to have some distressingly low forms of moral perverts. During the last term of criminal court a judge sent one to the penitentiary on a ten-year sentence for incest. Several weeks earlier one was electrocuted, not only for tho miserable crime of incest, but for the murder of his daughter's husband. It is difficult to imagine such revelations. except among the lower animals. And all are so-called white people. * Kx-senator Win.

High school students have written essays on the subject. Crosses in History. Sixth and seventh grade students have made posters, using, attractively the double-barred cross and other well known yrosses mentioned in the teaching unit "The Message of the Double-Barred Cross." The Christmas Seal Sale committee offered a $10 prize for the best essay and a $6 prize for the best poster. A number or entries have been received. The names of the winners wU' be In next week's Chronicle. The study of crosses and their Innumerable variations Is a little-known hobby that has engaged men through the centuries. One of the modern variations of the symbol is the doublt^barred cross of the National Tuberculosis Association, with which the local tuberculosis association is u(filiated. As in past yearB. It appears prominently on the 1989 Christmas Seals, which are being sold to aid the continuous light against tuberculosis. "The double-barred c^osa, known as the Lorraine Cross, yearly brings a message of hope for those who are ill and a call to service for those who are well," said Mrs. John Mullen, chairman of the Christmas Seal Sale drive. "Each year a different Christmas Seal is printed, but always the double-barred cross appears in the design. "Leaders of the First Crusade adopted a double-barred cross as a symbol of poaco and hope, this standard was taken over by Godfrey do Bouillon, Duke of Lorraine, the first Christian ruler of Jerusalem. A modern variant was the double-barred cross adopted as the insignia of the 79th Division of the American Expeditionary Force in the World War. The Tau cross among the ancient Irish symbolized wisdom. A cross of similar design was considered a divine symbol by the Astec.-* who called it the Tree of Life. Thor's hammer was a tau cross, and St. Anthony, the hermit, used a Tau cross as a crutch. The Greek cross represented the winds from the four cardinal points. In China a cross inscribed in a square was the symbol of the earth. The Maltese Cross was a symbol of the knights of Malta. Christ was crucified on a Latin cross. The first International Conference on Tuberculosis adopted the doublebarred cross as Its Insignia in 1902 Doctor Gilbert Sersiron of Paris made the eloquent plea for the double-barred cross as the emblem of the international movement for the control of tuberculosis. He called it an emblem of peace and of fruternal undeistanding to spread our message throughout the world. Those who enrolled under the double-barred cross of the First Crusade b.lTtevod they had a sacred mission. Today", said Mrs. Mullen, "those i nrolied under the same cross are fighting another crusade, but they are fighting a bloodless battle to I bring healing to the nations.' .
