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.

Hur at least we "had a chance to seOj

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."

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

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.

Savannah River
Fish Are Killed
Savannah, Gn.. 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

he said.
Willkie Challenges
President Roosevelt
El wood. 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."
