HutlCr-hod called a special meeting
of his board of directors to acquaint1
them with his determination to leave
Kayettevtlle to go to Chattanooga. It'
SUIJ) ironic that in. making his final
report to his board Butler aald, "This
is my swan song."

Hut ho" was a Bquare-shooter, and wn?j
esteemed aa a friend. The writer has
visited Butler a number of times at j
Kayettevtlle und enjoyed chutting
over episodes of the period when we
were In Florida.
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.".

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. Facts and figures
presented at a recent hearing of the
judiciary ajid ways ahd^ means committees
showed clearly that South
Carolina trails the nation in Industrial
progress and .also in. the securing of
new residents?and all ' this due to
laws which penalize business and the
state as a place of residence for men
of wealth.

winds of the past several weeks radio

The skeet tournament at the Kirkwood
Sunday afternoon attracted several
hundred spectators who watched
ilie fifteen contestants bangiug away
at the little clay birdies. Old Jup Pluvious
broke up the party after threequarters
of the tournament had been
carried through. The program was
concluded Monday

To those who love beautiful music

an evening In the Kirkwood music
ro.uu listening to Buddy Bonds play
the electric organ.
And you golfers, take a whirl at
b ii golf game in the downstairs lobby
of the Kirkwood. If you are an
\pert at throwing a dart, you'll play
a good game of golf. Genial Ed. Fitzgerald
and the writer tossed a few
<i:irts at theegolf course 011 the wall
and believe you me, it's a swell game
for a rainy afternoon or evening. Even
if i did plant my vaccum tipped drives

Softball Fever Is

A healthy revival of softbuU. with n
league iuut.lt* up of teams of'- Camden,
l-e'lutne, Bin hoy and other points nt
Kerahuw county la a possibility next
summer, according to tho bureau of
recreation of the chamber of commerce.
Hut?and here la where the big "If"
c< mca In. If Catnden people are t>
enjoy the soft bull aport, some arrangement
will have to be made to provide
a lighted field. 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. The warring
ruler, Jealous of their reputations aa
gourmands, agreed, in 1299, that whoever
should out-oat the other could
dlcate terms to the loser.
A canceled check for $1,000,000 in
a frame hangs on the wall of^Gene
Tuoney's office. Tex Rickard paid it
to him after the ex-heavyweight
champion's successful defense of his

Camden Maidens J
Look Like Champs
In tho seventeen games played by
I he Camden high school girls basketball
team this season the local maidens
have scored 709 points as against
258 registered by opposing teams The
Camden girls have won 10 games, losing
but one, that to Hock Hill by a
single point. In four years Camden
girls have won 74 and lost 12 games.
The return game with Hock 11111. to
be played in Camden, will attract a
record crowd of fans to the high
school gymnasium on the night of February
28.
Games for this week, besides the
Invasion of Htshopville on Tuesday
night, called for a double header with
Chester here In the local gymnasium
on Thursday, February 22. Toulght
the Camden cagers will entertain
Newberry highs in a double feature.
This game promises to be a real battle
for both the Camden boys and
girls teams, Camden plays the return
game with Chester, at Chester, on
February 27, and goes to Newberry on
Maroh 1.
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.
The game will follow the week of the
state championship tournament. Camden
defeated Monetta at HatesburgLeesville
several weeks ago by a 27
to 23 score. 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.
It is estimated that the gross revenues
of the America air transport
Industry during 1939 will be $50,000,000,
out of which they will show a
net profit of about $2,500,000. This Is
In comparison to the fact that a loss of
a similar amount was experienced
during 1938.

Every day, during 1939, the postoffices
In New York received, delivered
and dispatched an average of 15,500,000
pieces of ordinary mail,
