We can sympathize with the hun-| dreds who stood up out of respect for Finland, at the wrong time, at the' symphony'concert last Friday night.' It is evidence of the need of more music of this kind In Camden! ? Those who know and understand fine music got a thrill out of the offer-1 ings of the Southern Symphony In the' Halglar Town Hall Friday evening. It j was a masterful effort on the pari of conductor and orchestra and we venture to say that a return perfomance would Insure a big and appreciative audience. * * * Our blue ribbon this week goes to the ambitious scribe who In writing about the orchestra program spoke of the delight the "children" experienced when they recognized in the William Tell overture, the stirring straius of j the theme tone of "The Lone Ranger.". ?- ?.?? .4. Some of the best minds In the state have been laboring for two years to induce the legislature to repeal the intangibles tax and change the punitive damage law.

Over a year ago the city purchased equipment for lighting a field but when objection was raised against using the field at I*uureus and Fair streets, the Softball program blew up so completely that it was Impossible to revive it last summo?. The players and fans recall the fvtn that prevailed through the Hummer of 1937 when league games were the order of affairs every afternoon and crowds of from 400 to 700 gathered to cheer tho respective teams. Now there Is a genral desire on the part of many of the former players to get Into action this summer. Percy Mays, whocaptalned the Rsso team In 1037 and 1938 is. lining up a team to represent*- Bethune In a suggested league. Arthur Robinson, who has taken E. C. Ewltigs place at the Kendall Mills as director of athletics states he will have a team In tho league. Beckham Russell, whose Sinclair's won tho 1938 pennant Is listening to the Softball birdies chirp in his ears and will unquestionably have a team. But the bureau of recreation will keep hands off on any softball program that Involves a playing period other than the evening hours. Which of course means?lights. The bureau believes a league of six teams playing three nights a week would provide enjoyable recreation for players and fans. An evening program would in no way conflict with the high school'and later the American legion baseball programs. KER8HAY COUNTY COLORED CITIZENS HELP RAISE MONEY Kershaw county colored citizens have gone well over the quota set for them in the recent Christmas Sefil sale by their general chairman, P. .B, Mdodana, according to a report that has just been made public by the Kershaw county tuberculosis association. Professor Mdodana asked his committee to raise two hundred dollars. They have turned In two hunderd and eleven dollars and sixty-one cents which is twenty-five per cent more titan their total for 1938 and three times the sum contributed by colored citizens during the 1936 Christmas Seal sale. It is expected that between five and ten dollars will be added to the amount now on hand before the final figures are sent In on the report to be made to the South Carolina tuberculosis association. Colored ministers throughout the county, working under the leadership of Rev. J. W. Boykin, who acted as chairman of the ministerial group, have rendered a great service by urging members of their congregation to buy and use Christinas Seals and to let children in their homes buy at least one Christmas Seal for their own use. Tho colored schools working with their supervisor, Jimmie Dibble, reported one hundred and sixty-five dollars' and thirty-two cents as the amount raised for the Christmas Seal sale by teachers and children. The Camden committee with Ruth Alexander, Jennie I>ee Carter and Wll lie Mouzon taking the lead, raised about forty dollars. This fine response to the appeal for funds to be used In fighting tuberculosis proves that Kershaw county colored citizens believe that It Is best to "stop tuberculosis before it stops you." Thte famed Persian ruler. Ghazan Khan, won his greatest victory by out-eating his opposing monarch, Abul Baddts, the ? Syrian.

Plans for a return game with the Mouetta high girls call for a meetlug between these two crack teams In Camden on either March 15. or 22.

It was the first time in eight years Monetta was beaten by a South Carolina team. in 1939 the Camden girls went on to win the stale championship in the A ranks and boastod a season's record of 22 games won and but 4 lost. In 1938 the team won 18 and lost 4 and In 1937 the team won 18 and lost only 3.
