Lefty Clifton of the Hartsvlile club wa8'nicked for eight blows, but kept lbem well scattered. What burns this corner to a crisp . thAt .his Palmetto league was our Drain child. We started It last year but this year we are on the sidelines. Why? I>oes anyone have to ask? K you have attended any of the games H city park the past two years you'll understand. Just a failure to support the sport. During a fanning bee over In Slick Zemp's drug emporium last Friday a group of faus were quite enthusiastic over the naming or Dr. Carl West as itate athletic officer for the American Legion. "Now we can get some of those tournaments" quoth one of the enthusiast. Oh yeah. No matter bow Dr. Carl might want to bring a tournament to Camden* he would have to consider the matter of attendance For these tournaments cost money and to raise that money the gate must be healthy. This past summer. the high school and Junior Legion game gates have been far from healthy?in fact?returns were barely sufficient to ppy for the balls used. # Getting Into football for a minute We owe all kinds of apologies to Char lev McCaskill, who with Merrill, is a . o captain of the 1940 edition of Bulldogs In our recent news release regarding the Camden football team, we tailed to mention Charley as one of the captains. Sorry old chap. I'm going to jot down some notes I during the Green Bay Packer-All I Star game and you'll find them in this I column in a week or so.

Hur at least we "had a chance to seOj the all-star game and that was some-| thing. Some mob, wasn't it? Oh yes?Friday the 23?that's the day the football squad leaves for North Carolina. About thirty aspiring grid warriors with Mr. and Mrs. John Villepigue and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Nettles. Here's hopln' everyone has a nice time. Mayor MeCorkle Is down in Florida and from all we hear, the Camden executive and his party are getting a royal reception at every stop. You see, we tipped the Chamber lads down there that hlzzoner was on the way and they were all set to give him a grand hurrah. But wait till he reaches Tampa. Frank Winchell of the Florida State hotel greeters association operates the Tampa Terrace hotel and he Is all set to give Mac and company a real welcome. Frank wrote that he has arranged a reception at which the mayor of Tampa, the city councilmen and other civic big shots will be present. Happened to run across an Item In one of the Chicago papers which gives. Dorothy Thompson's definition) of "What is an American?" Says I Dorothy:" "An American is a fellow whose grandfather, was a German forty-eighler who settled in Wisconsin and married a Swede, whose mother's father married an Englishwoman, whose son met a girl at college whose mother was an Austrian and whose father was a Hungarian Jew and their son in the twentieth century right now is six feet tall, goes to a state college, plays football, can't speak a word of any known, language except American, and is doubtful whether he ever had a grandfather." That anti-Hitler battery of Klein and Cohen, doing duty for the St. Ix)ius team in the American Legion baseball classic at Rock Hill was too much for the Little Rock gang. St. IvOtHs winning 2 to 0. 9 m A Charlotte news hound, writing of the game, had a heck of a time trying to tell the world about the errors by the Lihle Rock first baseman. In the opening paragraph he refers to First Baseman Lewis, but later on he switches to First Baseman Kirby. * * Quite a few Camden fans went to Rock Hill to see the Legion games. The average attendance Monday and Tuosday was 2,000 which was several hundred shy of the Sumter mark in tournaments of less importance.

Auk 1#.?With thousands of fish mysteriously dying in the Savannah river here, perturbed game officials today collected samples of water to be turned over to chemists for analysis. Saturday hundreds or baby flounders, salt water fish, were apparently forced up the river where they died by the hundreds In the area of the city's wharves Dead bodies of many sturgeon were likewise float 111 k on the stream. River front men today reported that the waters were full of dylttK catfish, rockflsh and carp. Silver eels, suakes and even the Hardy crab were said to be floating dead on the surface. ' Ivy Oassels. supervisor of the coastal areas, division of wild life, and L. E. Woodward, Chatham county game warden, made a survey of the situation this ufternoou. They reported sighting many dead sturgeons, mullet, catfish, founders and some small shad. The sturgeon ranged from very small ones to i those weighing about 100 pounds, they said. Dead fish washed Into the river banks attracted many vultures. The officials said that apparently all fish In the river had been killed. Experts are at a loss to account for the massacre. Chemist? tests already made Indicate that no harmful caustic alkalis or minerals acids are lit the water. Some described It as a result of last Sunday's hurricane while others attribute it to the flood waters now moving toward the coast front Augusta. Dr. Eduard Benes, president of the newly recognized Czech-Slovak provisional government, predlots in l?ondon that the collapse of Germany Is "absolutely inevitable."

Ind., Auk. 17.?Formally accepting the Hepublican proaldtmtlal nomination before a wildly cheering crowd In a circus day getting Wendell li. Wlllkte proposed In "dead earnotti" today that President Roosevelt meet him In a aeries of public debutes on major campaign Issues A sweltorlng crowd, estimated by Police Chief Mike Morrlaaey of Indianapolis at 150,000 and by Homer Capohart, general chairman, at 260,000 packed Callaway Park?once a cow pasture In which Wlllkle played as a hoy?for the ceremonies and Interrupted the perspiring nominee repeatedly with .shouts, whistles and hand-clapping. Wllllke said he favored some form of selective military service as "the only democratic way In which to secure the trained and confpetent manpower we need for national defense''. He criticized the administration's foreign policy and assorted thtt't the president "has courted a war for which the country Is hopelessly unprepared?and which It emphatically does not want." Ills listeners, many of whom had slept In Callaway park overnight In order to obtain choice seats were scattered through clumps of trees. Hut the burning Indian sun brought perspiration to every brow. Willkie made it plain he believes that the United States Is "not Isolated from those suffering people of Kurope." "No man can guarantee peace," he, continued. "Peace Is not something that a. nation can achieve by Itself. It also depends upon what some other country does." Although saying that "the president's attacks on foreign powers have been useless and dangerous", Willkie added that "I trust 1 have made It plain that in the defense of our American liberties, I should not hesitate to stand for war." "But, like a great many other Americans. I saw war at first hand in. 1917. I know what war can do to demoralize civil liberties at home. And I believe it to be the first duty of a president to try to maintain peace." Willkie came to Callaway parkthrough which he used to drive cows for 75 cents a week?after a hot trip from Rushville, Ind., the home town of Mrs. Willkie. He was greeted by cheering throngs as he drove through the streets of El wood. Willkie received formal notification of his nomination from Representative Joseph W. Martin, Jr., of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republl-! can national committee. Martin said the Indianan's nomination had been dictated by the people, ,not by a clique of politicians. In his debate challenge to the president. Wllllke proposed "that during the next two and a half months, the president and I appear together on public platforms in various parts of the country, to debate the fundamental Issues of this campaign. "Those are the problems of -our , great domestic economy as well as of agriculture, of labor, of industry, of finance of the government's relationship to the people and our preparations to guard against assault." "I make this (debate) proposal respectfully to a man upon whose shoulders rest the cares of the state, Willkie continued. "But 1 make it in dead earnest." Willkie told his audience that the president had encouraged European powers to hope for more American help than ibis country could give. But. the nominee added, an honest appraisal of our relationship with Great Britain would bring an admission "that the loss of the British fleet would greatly weaken our defense," and would be "a calamity for us." "The promise of the present administration," Willkie asserted, "can not lead you to victory against Hitler, or anyone else. This administration stands for principles exactly opposite to mine. I^et us call It the T pass doctrine. The New Deal dealt it and refused to make any more bets on the American future." Willkie said that If he were elected he would threaten foreign governments "only when our country was threatened by them and when I was ready to act." He declared the United States musi face " a brutal, perhaps a terrible fact" that "our way of life Is in com petition with Hitler's way of life.' ' The competition, Wlllkle said, is no merely one of armaments but one o energy against energy, productioi against production, brains agalns brains, salesmanship against sales manshlp." "If we are to outdistance the to talltarlan powers," he went on, "we must arise to a new life of adveuture and discovery. We must make a wider horiaou for the human race. It la to that new life th ' I pledge myaelf. "I promise, by returning to those same American principals that overcame a Gorman autocracy once before, both In business and In war, to outdistance Hitler in uny contest he chooses in 1940 and after. "And I promise that when .we beat him. we shall beat him on our own terms in our own American way." Turning to domestic issues, Will* kie said ho bollovod "that the forces of free enterprise must be regulated." "1 am opposed to business monopolies," ho continued. "I believe In col-i lectlve bargaining by representatives of labor's own Iree choice without Interference and In full protection of those obvious rights." "I believe In the maintenance of minimum standards of wages and of maximum standards for hours. I believe that such standards should constantly Improve. "1 believe in the federal regulation iof Interstate utilities, of securities i markets and of banking. I believe In foderal pensions In adequate old-age benefits and in unemployment allowances." He said the government "has a responsibility to equalire the lot of the farmer with that of the manufact urer." "If this can not be done by parity of prices." he added, "other means must be found?with the regimentation of the farmer's affairs. He said the New Deal "stands for doing what has to be done by spending as much money as possible," but that the proposal "to. do it by spending as little money as possible. This Is one great Issue In domestic policy and I propose In this campaign to make it clear." "We must regain prosperity, restore the Independence of our people and protect our defensive forces," he said If that is not done promptly, we are In constant danger. If it is done, no enehiy on earth dare attack us. I propose to do it." Gas Gas All Time Mr*. Jan. Filler nays: "Gas on my atomftch wa# no bad I couldn't ?a( or ?U?p.
