Admitted that he grtTYIb pay for the long Insortlon of i ho pulp mill material. Wo do not know who sent It In. (Personally and editorially, wo have always agreed with Mr. Fulmar on the damagou Inflicted on the farmers, laborers and forestry of this country, though not familiar with the crookedness of the corporation In robbing the sellers of their rights. Congressman Fulmar had a bill passed for an Investigation of the-shady practices of the pulp mill crowd. The bill recites the fact that the ? war. U producing a vast increase In the demand's for pulpwood In the country. That the consumption of paper is'also tremendously increased. The prices of paper have also advanced from 65 to S5 dollars per ton, while the prices paid to owners and laborers for stumpage and pulpwood are still on a "starvation basis." "It takes about two standard cords of wood to produce a ton of paper and tht? pulp mills are paying from five to Hoven dollars per unit, and from said price the farmers receive from 15 cents to $1 00 per cord foi^gi^impage." This bill has passed CMgreSB and sent to the Agricultural Department for Investigation. We haw always thought that pulp mills are ruinous, uot on If to the limber interests but to the farmer.-, of thh country. Now comes Congressman Fulmer and charges that the pulpwood lutorests are robbing the farmers and luborcrs. right and left in their uperUtiojis:?Calhoun Times.

"i RED CROSS WORK ROOM WILL HAVE TO MOVE TO NEW PLACE] < By Sadie Kennedy VonTreackcw, Chairman Production Corps) American Rod Cross production volunteers are redoubling efforts in re* spouse to a cable from I>anlel Grant.1 chairman of the American Rod Cross committee In London, which stated that 340.00?> articles of woolen cloth* Iiik would be needed by British evacuees for next winter. Garments are being sent to England on virtually every .Europe-bound boat leaving New York letters of deep appreciation for American Red Cross war relief work has been expressed by the British especially for the hospital supplies and helping 300 hospitals estate , Halted to" meet the casualties which ''would result if Hitler Invaded England Tremendous losses of military hospital stores took place In Fiance ufter the tragic Dunkerquo episode. In view of the above, the Camden production corps hus been called upon to accept a large quota of work to bo finished by the end of December. The materials will be furnished by the national society; findings, and the like must he bought from chapter funds and all work volunteer. Surgical supplies are not needed just now as the response was so generous that sufficient supplies aro on hand. Mrs. II. O. Carrlson, vice chairman for this month, has ordered our quota of cutters, under, the leadership of Mrs, Willis Cantey. ayy asked to keep in louc.lt with her as to arrival of materials. As soon as these arrive the garments must bo cut out and work distributed to sewers or made in the rooms. Several have already offered to take work and we hope more names will oonte In dally. The knitting Is under Mrs. Nettles Lindsay who will order enough wool for required quota of woolen articles. Winter Is coming fast In Europe and tho destitute, especially children must bo clothed. The loan of good sowing machines will be appreciated. Get In touch with Mrs. Clifton McKaln and she will attend to moving them to Red Cross! rooms. We regret to report that Moultrie Hums will not bo able to let us have the Red Cross room in the old Hughes home on Broad street any longer and we must find new quarters. Thanks are due Mr. Burns for the loan of room for this long. Camden needs a community house sadly. Tho new location of Red Cross room will be announced as soon as arrangements are made. pulpwood Is nothing but highway robbery. It appears that this group, as well as every other well-organized group who have thousands of high-salaried men connected- with this organization, who run around as propagandists, are able to secure almost any type of space that they would like to have In the various papers lu the country. I find, however, that when a Congressman. your Congressman, for Instance, would like to get some rtal publicity Into the press about what these people are doing to the unorganized innocent citizens of tho country, it usually linds its way into the wastebasket.

WILLKIE TO NEGROES 3 On u hundred nioruUW .'ityro or I le??, wiiiiin the past several year* The News and Courier of Ch/urtextou ha* slummed at the national tyeuioeraUc party because of what The News and Courier consider* fU proNegro attitude; and one may assume, with reusou. that The NeftV und I Courier's present support of $ie national Kepubllcan ticket Is due in part I to Its rejection of the naticnaf DcmoJ emtio party's attitude- toward Negroes. This brtiutf irue^lf It is trup- The I State wonders what The News end Courier will say about Mr. Willkk'a speeches In iChlcago Addressing *evI oral . thousand Negroes, the Rapubll* can candidate, according to The New York Times (and there Is no more reliable source of current Information) I "stressed equality within the Jaw for lull Americans and declared that* there I should bo no discrimination-In appointments to public office because of I race and religion." I That moans, assuming Mr. WiJlklo I Is'to the honorable man The State believes him to bo, that ho, as pjesf I dent, would not discriminate In making appointments to the public sorvlce; and that, in turn, would mean Negro postmasters, district attorneys, I and federal judges in the South. I Naturally whero Negroes are most I numerous, Negro appointees' also I would be most numerous under the I declared Wlllkle plan of no dlscrimiI nation whatever. In addition to its thrusts at the I national Democratic party because of I what it believes to be Its political atI tltude toward Negroes. The News land Courier in many editorials has spoken caustically of the large numbers of Negroes on relief in Northern cities. Well, let's see what The'News and Courier's Candidate Wlllkle says about that. This Is quoting hint directly: ' ; I "Now the Negro people of this country are citizens and entitled ta .every right that any other citizen Is entitled to. And those who are so unfortunate as to be on relief are entitled to the same treatment on relief as everybody else. If you elect me president 1 shall sou to it that relief la continued The Stute does not present these quotations based on and from Mr. I Wlllkle s Chicago talks with any purpose of creating hot feelings. The State has not shared and does not now share The News and Courier's apprehension that something of disagreeable and dangerous nature' may happen to white Americans because of advances and changes In the status of Negro Americans. The State be| lieves in progress at maximum pracI tlcable sj>eeds for both races. However, The State thinks that in such serious times the public needs more entertainment; therefore the respectful request that The News and Courier express itself on the Wlllkle attitudes and statements with the same peppery vigor it would use if President and Candidate Roosevelt .had said exactly what Candidate Wlllkle said.?The State SOUND TALK FROM THE PAST P. T. Barnum may have had some of the weaknesses generally credited to showmen, but he was highly successful and he ran a good circus where you generally got your money's worth. A word of advice from the man who operated the "Greatest Show <>n Ear!h""Is therefore apropos at the present time. Here's a very pithy declaration from Itanium's own lips: "Ad\ertise. or the chances are thatl the sheriff will do it for you The Great Showman's estimate of the value of advertising is mrely worth the attention of certain individuals, even some in high places, who argue that advertising is a waste <>f money forget that it sells goods [Widely, helps to make mass product*I I ion possible, and thus in the end lectfh [ to far lower prices for the average consumer. . * Barnum understood these matters.

THE 8MALL TOWN Wo huve been saying for some time an answer by a prominont newspaper man to a wise-cracking column by Walter Wlnehell in which he had plenty of fun at the expense vo,f vthe "hick" town. The Editor, Paul F. Watklns, publisher of the Ashland (Va.) Progross, says most of the statements about the Hick Town were written by one whose latoBt glimpse of a small town was from a non-stop Pullman window. "The editor wouldn't know what a 'Hick' town Is like. He never lived In one. Put if you want to know what a small town Is like, Mr. Wlnehell, heave to and have a load of this. A small town is a place where we don't brag about our faiths, hopes or our charities, where reputation and character moan the same thing, where concrete backing Is more esteemed than front, where we stand up for our rights rather than sit down for them, where a neighborhood is 100 miles long and neighborliness 100 miles deep, where a frelnd indeed doesn't wait for your need, where we like Judge Billy's boy who went to the city...not because he mdde a million dollars... but because he came back still Judge Billy's boy; where the telephone directory Is 'Who's Who? the U. S. Census the Social "Register, a man's financial rating Is baaed upon not what be takes In but what be puts out and we have a four hundred because the population Is just that; where the mayor and the town bum know each other by their first-name; where they don't carve anything on your tombstone that they wouldn't say to your face; where we go out with our own wives and like it; where a stranger's a stranger only because he wants to be; where a ham is something you serve with chicken and Broadway is where the high school play came from twenty years ago; where the Sheriff Inquires about your wife's sciatica as he takes you to Jail, the Judge will loan you twenty dollars to pay your fine and the neighbors are glad to see you back when you've served your time; where you don't tip the barber because he's a member of your bridge club, and you don't cheat your opponent at poker because he attends your Sunday School class; and where a newspaper man can make a living writing what everycuie already knows. In short. Mr. Wlnehell, a small town Is a place where, if the editor lives any place else than he'd rather be anyway. There's a small town, Mr. Wlnehell. Sorry, we can't tell you much about a hick town. It's been years slnco we've been to New York."?Franklin. N. H., JourualTranscrlpt. The Hercules Powder Co. catas-i trophe in New Jersey last week may have been accidental, but more than likely it was the work of German fifth columnists. As Great Britian and Germany engage in a death grapple, occurences like the ono in New Jersey will become more and frequent. Hitler stands .unrivalled in human history, unless it was Aftila or some other barbaric warrior of the long ago. as the ultimate In all that is cruel and debasing. He would take an Innocent babe's life with the same satisfaction as that of an enemy soldier or sailor, If his 'plans called for such, and do it without regret or misgiving. If Germany .wins, there'll be , all of Hitler's pent-up fury and hatred to expect. If defeated, all explosions, wrecks and the like In the United States will be that much towards collecting what ho thinks we are due him on account of our efforts and sympathy In behalf of England.?

FIRST MARINE FLYER MET MANY OB8TACLES n Aviation, considered so essential as an arm of our national defense, was looked upon as a fad not so many years ago and was not believed to be of any special value as a war weapon. It was nearly a decade after the first successful experiments made by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, N. C., In 1903, that American fighting units took any active steps to include airmen and airships among their fighting forces. Following the outbreak of hostilities In Europe in 1914, airplanes promptly demonstrated their worth in warfare. The first TT. 8. Marine to become interested In aviation was an air-minded young lieutenant, named Alfred A. Cunningham, who brought a plane he had rented into the Philadelphia navy yard In 1911, says Sgt. Tinklepaugh, local recruiting officer of the Marine Corps. Lieutenant Cunningham begged permission of the commandant of^ the yard to experiment with the "contraption" and he obtained a reluctant consent. At the same- time he was warned of the risks he would take In flying it. The warning was unnecessary. That plane never made a real flight, even when the young flyer built a runway with a bump at the bottom and occasionally managed to get the plane from twenty to fifty feet into the air. Sometimes its four-cylindered engine wouldn't even start before an hour or more of back-breaking cranking. Even then the sputtering motor raised such a din that the pilot promptly dubbed the plane Noisy Nan." lT nd iscou raged by this early setback. Lieutenant Cunningham persisted until he eventually was assigned to duty at the Naval Aviation Camp at Annapolis, Md., becoming the pioneer flyer of the Marine Corps. Veterans worsted in Tuesday's decisive encounter include Carroll D. Nance in I^aurens. J. E. Boamguard in York, W. W. Smoak, in Colleton, and probably many others. 'Twas ever thus, and will ever be as long as our present system endures.
