Calls On Sheriffs
?"To Go The Limit"
Columbia. March 24?Governor
j Maybank urged South Carolina sher|
iff a (odey to "go the limit and drivo
; from South Carolina anyone wbom
] you may even suspect" of causing vice
conditions.
I Speaking at a meeting of sheriffs
which he called, tho executive said
that national defense areas in the
state, with huge payrolls such as are
disbursed at Fort Jackson, Camp
Croft, the Parrls Island Marino Base,
Fort Moultrie and the Charleston
Navy Yard, were attracting organized
prostitution and other forms of vice.
Maybank asserted that it was "important
to impress upon the people
that this (anti-vice campaign) is not a
fly-by-night scheme to be put in the
papers but something to go on for at
least the next Ave years", the period
covered by the Selective Service Act.
He told the officers that "if necessary,
I am going to call out three, four
or five hundred men" of the new
Home Guard?the substitute for the
Federalized National Guard?"in order
to have law enforcement. I'm not
going to have it said that in -the hour
of need South Carolina^ failed."
On motion of snerin J. E. m^Teer
of Beaufort, president of the Sheriff's
Association of South Carolina, the
sheriffs assured Maybank of their cooperation.
The governor cited a telegram from
Paul V. McNutt, administrator of the
Federal Security agenoy, saying that
the Federal Government had "agreed
on a vigorous program for the suppression
of prostitution. The United
States Government insists on vigorous
law enforcement and the elimination
of segregated areas or any other
measures that would condone this
most serious menace to the health and
morals; of military and naval personnel.

Friends In Tribute
To Departing Buddy
Camden bmio goodbye to A. Stanley
Llewellyn. outstanding ji 1U011 for the
past seventeen years. who Is leaving
to lake ovoi* tho management of two
large tex.1 He mills at Spartanburg, at
a testimonial dinner given by some
thirty-live frlonda at the Sara hold club
Friday evening.
An exquisite plaque, fittingly inaerlbed,
was prosontod to Mr. Llowellyn
by the American Legion Post
while tin* Shrine club offered him a
silver plate, also Inscribed.
Coincidents Uy this farewell event
was preside^ over by 11. M. Kennedy,
Jr.. who seventeen years ago Introduced
Mr. Llewellyn to Camden at a
dinner event. "Hob" was at his best
Friday night and ho kept the group in
a spirit of merriment by bis brilliant
sallies Of wit and satire.
Speetntes In tribute to Mr. Llowellyn
were offered with deep fooling by city,
county and state dignitaries. Among
some of those who expressed regret
at the departure of Mr. Llewellyn
from Cam den were R. M. Cooper,
Charleston; Attorney Levy, Sumter;
Mayor F. N. McCorkle; Dowoy Creed,
president of tho Shrlno club; Perry
lA>ngston, commander of the Amortcan
Legion; Sheriff J. H. McLeod, and
John del^oach.
Mayor MoCorkle's remarks epltomi/.od
the expression of all speakers
when he stated that Camden's loss Is
Spartanburg's .gain. All speakers
spoke In feeling terms or the manner
In whl-ch Mr. Llewellyn had endeared
himself to the community and to the
state by his fine personality, his kind
heart and his loyalty to his adopted
state.
Mr. Llewellyn was visibly affected
by the many expressions of a laudatory
nature, but his response to them was a
beautiful expression of thanks for the
many kindnesses, the courtesies and
the fine friendship that had been givI
en by all.
The ?Yenintg was not without Its
humor, with members of the Legion
group taking over with the orchestra
j to sing tunes that were familiar during
the first world war period.
! TCspecaMy enlivening was tho work of
a quintet consisting of Jack Whitaker,
Jr., Dr. Carl West, Marvin Reasonover,
all of Camden, T. V. Walsh and
BUI King, of Columbia. The way these
"buddies", poured out "Hinky Dinky
Parlee Voo," "Keep the Home Fires
Burning". It's a long, Long Trail",
and the -like, would have done credit
to seasoned veterans of tho Motroppli
Itan Opera company.
There was keen regret expressed by
all present that illness prevented Dr.
J. W. Corbett, first president of the
Camden Shrine club from being present
and presenting tho Shrine club
gift to Mr. Llewellyn. Dr. Oorbett is.
beloved by all members of the Shrine
group and by all citizens of Camden.
Ahother missing face around the
festive boards was thaj. of W. L.
DePass, illness being responsible for
his absence.
Official regret over the absence of
these two citizens was expressed from
the speaker's table.

Yale Player Wins
Match For Mulberry
Jack Daniels, Yale player and guest
member of the Mulberry polo team,
whoso mallet work was a big factor in
tho defeat of the Camden Town foursome
in the holiday series, was again
the nemesis of tho Towners in the
Russell memorial trophy elimination
game here Sunday afternoon. His
pay caress of a slow rolling gift
shot by Lightfoot in an extra period
winning for Mulberry, 5 to 4.
Another capacity crowd numbering
between 3.500 and 4.000 spectators
watched the contest, which was one
of the most thrilling to bo played on
- Kirk wood?field 'this season.
Next Sunday the Mulberry foursome
will meet the famed Essex troop
team from Fort Jackson and Newark,
N. J., in the second game. The winner
of this game meets Princeton
university, which Saturday won the
Intercollegiate title in New York.
The game this afternoon was held
up for ten minutes after Ancrum Boykin,
No. 3 man for Camden, was
struck 1n the face by a mallet in the
first minute of play. Boykni'a lip was
badly . lacerated but after receiving
surgical attention he came back into
the game, gettlfag a big hand from the
crowd.
Mulberry drew first blood when
Lightfoot scored but as Camden carried
a one goal allowance because of
goal rating the score was a tie at one
all. DuBose put Town ahead, 2 to 1,
on an angle shot I^oth teams missed
on free shots as the chukker ended.
Neither team eoored in the second
chukker but In the third David Williams
scored for 'Mulberry to tie up
the count. Camden went scoreless. In

score but the ball hit a pony's hoof
Inches from the goal line and bounced
back into play.
In the fifth chukker Daniels put
Mulberry ahead but Camden came
right back to tie the game up on a
beautiful shot by Burns. Toward the
close of the chukker Bates made a
sensational save on the goal line only
to have to go when DuBose scored one
of the most spectacular goals of the
game to tie the game up.
After two minutes of pflay in the
seventh or sudden death period Lightfoot
had a free shot. His stroke was
slow and the ball rolled into a mess of
riders. Daniels worked the ball out
to score the winning -point.
Scoring for Mulberry were: Daniels
2, Williams, Lightfoot and Tupper.
For Camden, DuBose 3, Boras.
Referee, Harrison.

duo to tho fact that thoy were brought
to this country after tho outbreak of
tho war. many of those animals will
bo making their American steeplechase
debut when they face tho harrier
at tho beautiful race plant hero
Saturday. March 211.
That those lni|>ortod horses will be a
real' threat on tho hunt race circuit
this year is 110 idle rumor. Those
who doubted their capabilities wire
more than convinced when a quartet
of ('Hinden-lralnod English thoroughbreds
made a grand slam of the Yadkin
steeplechase race at the Sandhills
meeting in Southern Pines a week
ago. Taking tho big jumps of tho twomile
brush course In near mid-season
form. Castletown, Fatal interview.
Little Cottage 2nd and Mlluno 2nd
pounded down the homo stretch,
crossing the tape In Just that order.
Strangely enough, nil four of theso
horses are products of the Worldfamous
lvar Antony stables in
Wroughton, England, wfilch has gent
out such Internationally famous jumpers
as Ascetic Silver, Kellshoro Jack
and Royal Mail, all listed among tho
winners of tho renowned Oraml
National steeplechase which is run at
Aintree. Castletown, owned by F.
Ambrose C'lark and trained by Granger
Galther, was making his second
start in this country when ho was sent
out for tho Yndkln, having won an impressive
victory at Saratoga last fall
in Wis Initial trip over tho hurdles.
Fatal Interview, sporting tho silks of
Paul Mellon's Itokeby Stables, was the
"Winner of several important English
stakes beforo being sont to this country,
and rules a strong favorite for tho
1941 meetings.
Among other English and Irish imports
now training here is Mrs. Esther
duPont Weir's Doanslaw. A two-time
winner at both Saratoga and Delaware
I*nrk last year, and also boasting
victories in several trips over tho flat
in England, Doanslaw is one of tho
best newcomers in the fame. Like
Fatal Interview, ho is trained here by
Jim Ryan, who plans a busy season
for the big gelding on the major
tracks in the Eaftt this year. St.
Patrick's Day and Flying Friar, other
Ryan-trained Imports, are also coming
along nicely, the lattor having been
beaten only by a short head by L. E.
Stoddard's Scout Whistle in tho mile
flat event at Sandhills, and that after
giving up 24 pounds to the winner.
Flying Friar carried top weight of 161
pounds, while the Stoddard entry
went over the strip with 137.
What will t:e_ tho outcome when
these favorTtes meet ngnin Is anybody's
guess. A bad start, a little
luck over the jumps, or a strong finish
often spoils the difference between
Victory and defeat -and tho old axiom
still applies, "anything can happen in
a horse race." Porhaps we'll get tho
answer in Camden 011 Cup day.
