THE PULP MILL TACTIC8
wdHthllsh a lot tor from Congressman
^Wnruer on the pulp mill sltuaHon.
Mr. Morris l)as exclusive control
of The ('a)houn Times except the
Kdltoriul page. 1 showed him Mr.
Fulmer'H letter and complaint. He
had little to say. 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

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.
Yours very sincerely,

MR. 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

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

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. Getting
votes is very much akin to securing
orders?as a usual thing it's the man '
who sees the customer first or makes
the best' impression that lands the
business.?Chester Reporter. ,
