the Camden Bulldogs take on the
Chester highs In whatt we believe will
be another win for Camden.
The Bulldogs racked up their fourth
win of the season at Omngoburg last
Friday night by a 111 to u acorn. The
record now stands I won. I lost and I
lied. Not bad, not bad.

Good football was offered at each
destination. 'ph?? Humter-Ooluinbia
game was a rip roaring ?Kbt between
two evenly matched teams and the
result was a scoreless tie. Personally
we believe basing this belief on what
we have hoard and road of the game,
that the Caps hod an edge.

Speaking of this particular game,
will some one explain why the Columbia
coach Is permitted to openly coach
from tho sidelines?
Wo have written to Coach Kbame
of Columbia and Coaoh Clark of Sumter
suggesting the tie be played oft at
Zenip Stadium here in Camden. We
promised them a crowd of from 4,300
to fi.OOO.
Our Bulldogs roally prayed some

The Orangeburg group had an

Camden chalked up was a plco comparison
of tho playing merit of the

of our people that there he no war;

against eouvmitting our country to

i Why maintain the C. C. C. now? The
army wants men, the navy neods mon,
and the marine corps calls for men.
jln addition to all that, industry needs
vigorous men and the farms need
Strong bodies. Why. then, spend
hundreds of millions on a mero auperfluity
which was a fad In the beginning
and Is a fairs today?
I am not entirely convinced of the
wisdom of buiUMng steel- plants and
munitions factories In South America
with American money. All the ties
of our Latin brethren are stronger
with Europe than with tho United
States. Ties of language, blood and
culture, are not soon forgotten, nor
can money be made a substitute for
those things unices tho money pour
in a constant and continuous stream.

El dia de la Raza
Thy J2tli of October Is observed as
the day on whloh Columbus discovered

though our feUow citizens of Spanish
and Italian origin celebrate It. South

Spanlsh-Amerclan nations make quite
an oc.caslon of the day. calling It "El

or the day of the Spanish.
Today we hear much about the desirability
of teachnlg Spanish in our

of course, even if there were no.

In order to solve a problem it is
helpful to have a clear statement of it'.
We are ignorant not only of the Spanish

and Italy, while ours are in England.
We do not see things alike, talk alike,

In that; they don't understand us?
and they don't trust us.

HIGHWAY FUNDS ACT
HAS BEEN DECLAR ED-TN YALTDColumbla.
October 21?That part of
South Carolina'* 1940-'41 general appropriation
act which appropriated
$2,000,000 of highway funds for general
state purposes "contravenes" constitutional
limitations on the uses of highway
revenues, the state svoreme court
declared today.
The court granted the petition of
Mayor G. B. Edwards, of Darlington,
and others and permanently onjolned
diversion of the money. The opinion
was written by Associate Justice D.
Gordon Baker with Associate Justices
Carter, Flshburne and Stukes concurring.
Chief Justice M. L. Bonham
concurre<l 1n the result.
The decision left the state treasury
facing a deficit of approximately
$5,000,000. Tho invalidated act would
have earmarked the highway money
to meet the state deficit, which
amounted to $1,856,898 at the end of
the last fiscal year and to meet general
state expense?.
Judgo Baker's opinion declared that;
the 1940'-41 act differed "only In the
manner In which the appropriation is
phrased" from the 1939-'40 diversion
act, which was ruled unconstitutional
last year.
" I'ruler each act, the stated purpose
and the sole object of tho legislation
is to divert part of the proceeds of
the five cent gasoline tax and motor
vehicle license revenue fees to the
state deficit and payment of state expenses,"
Bilker said.

greeting, the Spaniard seems a bit
diffuse when he says "Ah. ml qucrldo
anilgo. como esta ud ? Como esta su
familia y los beboK.Tt.os? Que buen
dia! Como march a n sus asuntos?"
And so on. Perhaps I'd better translate
this, lest my friends here rebuke
me for speaking in an "unknown
tongue" as has been claimed for some
in a high degree of emotion. So,
here It is: Ah. my dear friend, howare
you? How is your family?and
the little babies? What a fine day!
How goes everything?
I do not mean to start a class in
Spanish, but it is worth noting that
a Spaniard never addresses any one
in the second person, unless It be in
the family or among closest friends
?or inferiors. He says: "Como esta
usted?" Meaning "How is his grace?"
?never "How are you"? Though in
an English translation that is it.
There is a grace and graciousness in
Spanish expressions which I tihiixk
beautiful. A typical letter Is concluded
'and 1 subscribe myself your affectionate
friend and sure servant"?"Yo
1 me subscribo su afectisimo amigo y
guro servidor".
I had to sjH-ak Spanish ten years,
and all tho business of my office was
conducted in Spanish, yet I have no
doubt that 1 always spoke like a foreigner.
In order to acquire the jffrent

I wonder if it would bore you if I
told about an extraordinary experience
of mine as a translator for the American
Ambassador, AJexander P. Moore,
who years before had married the
great actress Id 1 Han Russell and who,
later, attracted a lot of attention by
leaving a hundred thousand dollar* to
the Queen of 9pain.
'Cosmic Phoenix' Stops
Sun From Being Consumed
A few years ago, a new problem
in connection with the sun?the fiery
body 92.900,000 miles away from the
earth?began to trouble many scientists,
Astro-physicists figured that
in radiating life-preserving heat and
light, the sun burns up about 4,000,000
tons of its mass a second.
At that rate, it was at first argued,
the sun should burn itself out
within several thousand" years.
But there was strong evidence to
indicate that it had been radiating
for at least 5.000,000,000 years. As
a result, it was concluded that somehow
the sun kept burning without
being consumed, being a sort of
"Cosmic Phoenix" that perpetually
reconstructed itself from its own
ashes.
The problem, therefore, was to
find out how this was done. Dill-'
gently, Prof. H. A. Bethe of Cornell
university, Ithaca, N. Y., sought
the answer. He announced at the
annual meeting of the American
Physical society in Washington that
he had found it.
Professor Bethe's story was that
the sun utilized its huge store of
atomic energy to produce heat and
light, and that carbon and hydrogen
played the leading roles. As
he saw it, the sun went through a
six-phase cycle, during which its
carbon, though seemingly consumed
without pause by hydrogen flames,
really emerged at the end of the
cycle undiminished in quantity.
Laboratory experiments covering
each phase of the cycle, Professor
Bethe declared, proved that the sun
could eat its carbon and have it
too. What creates the sun's energy,
he asserted, is the burning of its
vast amount of hydrogen gas. The
carbon merely acts as the releasing
agent for the hydrogen. Thus, in the
cycle, which Dr. Bethe estimated
eontinues for 6,560,000 years and
then repeats itself, part of the sun's
hydrogen mass is depleted but none
of its carbon mass is. He said the
sun is equipped io radiate for another
12,000,000 ydars.
Leprosy Misconception
Demolished by Author
Public opinion concerning leprosy
is about where it was in the Middle
ages, the department of public
health has said, when it struck the
coldest kind of terror to the hearts
of men.
In an article by Emory Ross many
of the current misconceptions anent
leprosy are demolished. The article
states that the disease is not
highly contagious. Contrary to general
thought, early cases of leprosy
are not sent away, but are allowed
to remain at home, to hold jobs,
to mingle with the public, since the
disease in its early stages can be
permanently cured. Only the advanced
cases are sent to the only
hospital for leprosy in the United
States, at Carville, La.
The specific mode of infection is
not yet known. The lepra bacili is
believed to breed in poverty-stricken
and unsanitary places. After exposure
the disease does npt manifest
itself for the following six years.
Proper nutrition, fresh air and exercise
are the important elements in
the treatment of lepra patients. Psychology
also plays an important
part, as in many cases progress in
arrested cases results from restoring
the patient's feeling of importance
as a human being.
Voice of Abe Lincoln
All disputes and arguments, pro
and con, as to the quality and style
of voice Abraham Lincoln possessed
can now be ended, according to the
Chicago Tribune of March 11, 1861.
On that date, the Tribune printed
the following article:
"His voice was as soft and sympathetic
as a girl's. Altho not lifted
above the tone of average conversation,
it was distinctly audible
thruout the entire hall. When after
avowing his devotion to peace and
conciliation, he said, 'But yet I fear
we shall have to put the foot down
firmly,' he spoke with deliberation
and with a subdued intensity of tone,
lifted his foot lightly, and pressed it
with a quick but not violent gesture
upon the floor. He evidently meant
it. The hall rang long and loud with
acclamations. It was some minutes
before Mr. Lincoln was able to
proceed ... I have never seen an
assemblage more thoroly captivated
and entranced by a speaker than
were his listeners yesterday by the
grim and stalwart Ulinoisan."

Burglars Know When
Stay home around nine o'clock in
the evening if you don't want your
house entered by a burglar. This
is the advice of an insurance company
which recently made a survey
as to what part of the day the most
burglaries occur.
The survey disclosed that the
hours between 8 and 12 midnight
arc the busiest for house thieves,
with 9 p. m. the most popular hour.
Burglars, no doubt, are familiar
with that fact?that most people
leave their homes around nine
o'clock lo go to a movie, or to visit
friends, or play bridge?and do not
return until midnight.
Horatius and Bridge
Contrary to legend. Horatius never
defended the bridge. It was a
story manufactured by the same Roman
historian who put forth that
other fabrication of histoi-y tnat
Mucius Scaevola. put his hand In

r Forecast Rainfall
It is now possible to forecast rainfall
tight months ahead, with only
5 per cent leeway for inaccuracy if
it is done In February. Such was
the Information given to the American
Association for the Advancement
of Science on the University
of Washington campus. Prof. Fred
Merryfleld of Oregon State college
has found thot by measuring rainfall
from September (beginnihg of
the scientist's rainfall year) until
February, and then comparing it
with the compiled previous 40 years
rainfall for the rest of the year then
can be fbrecast with reasonable accuracy.
He has found that rain falls
in the same proportion during the
second period as in the first, year
after year. >(
- ?V?Fishes
Without Hook
A northern Indiana .angler, J. W.
Souder by name, reports he catches
catfish without using a hook. He
ties pieces of beef on a line, anqs
when the fish grabs the meat, he
deftly pulls it into the boat. According
to Mr. Souder, you must
not let the fish's tail touch anything
or else it will let go. The reason
for this does not seem to be clear,
but maybe it's Just a fish story.?
