PLENTY OF JUNK
Uncle Hatn Ih ploadlng for steel
scrap for defense purposes. Junk
dealers around Camden havo plenty
of steel piled In their yards, waiting
for the market to attain a new high before
disposing of It.
We agree with Governor Maybank
who several years ago spoko of these
eyesores and recommended steps bo
taken to remove them or curtain
thorn.
It is a crying shame to look at the
mass of auto wrecks stored along
Bouth Carolina highways. Camden
and Kershaw county have their share.
Even In the city there are eyesores:
of this character.
Why doesn't Uncle Sam step In and
take over this scrap metal. Why I
wait for higher prices If the need for
steel is so acute.
REVENGE
(Written For The State)
Company H. commanded by Capt.
C. If. Yates, Jr., played havoc with
the new system devised by the colonel
of the Thirteenth Infantry, Col.
Sumner Wulto. when If company captured
a Buntari^car and Its bicyclist.
Colonel Waite had originated a now
method of sneaking Into the various
command posts of the Thirtieth division
by the use of Bantams. Those
Bantams would sneak up to the enemy
lines and then the men on bicycles
would silently creep Into tho enemy
lines. This time, though. Captain
Yates and his men saw them,
captured the rider and when the Bantam
attempted to flud its scout, captured
Bantam, driver, men and all.
This time, it seems that the men of
11 company were one Jump nhead of
Colonel Waite and his "bicycle bllzkrleg!"
N ' NAZIS WIN AND LOSE
Germany may he winning the buttlo
abroad, but she Is not going to win
the war. It is fully expected that
Moscow will fall and Stalin and his
government will have to retreat behind
the mountains. ?
But these Germans In Russia will
be Iti the same situation as the Japs
in China. Japan does not vela China
today. They have hogged down, and
so Germany will hog down in Russia.
The Nazis are already short of food.
Much of the rolling stock is gone-there
are no good roads which means
that Hitler is going to have a big job
in maintaining himself.
Tb '! < is no t|U<-stion but that the
pi ogres- made by the Nazi in Russia
is gradually weakening the Nazi ma,
bine We look for the Germans to
l ik.? Iran. Iran and even Egypt, but
ill nolle of these coijujl'ies call they J
add to their food stores. littler Is,
not being received in any completed
country as Nupolean was as a hero.
Hitler will be defeated through stnnrolut
ion of an economic nature. I' or
America will clear the seas and
through air supemacv.

CAMDEN ROTARIANE ENTERTAIN
DISTRICT GOVERNOR HUNTER
The Camden notary club was honored
lust Thursday by the preaence
of District Governor Ty Hunter, of
the moth Dlatrlct Rotary International,
In an official visit. The Governor
wuh presented by President Moultrie
Hurna. Before the Rotary meeting
the Governor played a game of golf j
and made a good score. He said he
was peculiarly happy to be In Camden,
for It was here that his name was j
placed in uomluatluu and elected to
the high office ut the conference held
at The Kirk wood Hotel last spring.
Ilia subject was "Seeing Rotary (
Through Its Objectives." A man Is j
not judged by what he has or wishes
to have but what ho sots out to accomplish.
He then quoted from thej
four objects of Rotary International j
and what Rotary had In mind when:
they set out those four objectives.
First, the development of acqualn- j
tance as an opportunity for service.;
"Take this as an opportunity for ser-j
vice because ho profits most who.
serves best." Ho widen your circle
and Increase your friends. Rotary
would have you discover one another
and thereby flqd that our neighbor Is
a better man than wo thought.
Second, high ethical standard in
business and profession. Rotary j
stands by as a friend and offers to,
promote peace, friendship and good-j
will, as has been said: more Rotary.,
more friends, notary has entered In-.
| to a compact. Let's have high ethicalstandards.
Dignify your occupation.1
Build respectability around your job
wherever It may bo.
Third, exemplyfylng Ideals through
your membership In Rotary. Seek op
portunlty to bo helpful to humanity.
Fourth, the advancement of peace.
International goodwill and understanding.
The Rotary club does not have
big International problems to handle
?It's not our duty. He cited a case
of goodwill and understanding ema-;
natlng' within his own home club. A'
naturalised American citizen and a
member of the club having been crit-j
Icized , all of which was completely
worked out by reason of this fourth
object of Rotary, and as a final
thought the governor said, let's find
out the history, the strength, the successes
of Camden, then do the same
for the county?next the state and
finally America, and be ever mindful
of our four objects aud thereby make
a first-class Rotarlan and citizen. The
Governor was warmly received and
given a rising vote.
Hamilton Osborne, of Columbia; S.
O. Murphy, of Hatesburg-Leesville and
Void Peterson, of Columbia, were visiting
Rotarlans.
IMPORTANCE OF WOOD I
TO SCHOOL CHILDREN ,
1
Have you stopped to think of how (
many articles a school child, must (
have that are made from wood products?
Almost everything the stu- f
dent comes In contact with is either (
or all part wood? the paper for( writ- -j
ing, the books, pencils, all or part of
the building Itself, desks, even some ]
of the clothes they wear are made <>f j
wood product. \
If we continue to deplete our forest {
resources as we have In the past, the j
school children of the next genera- (
tion or so will not have these pro- (
ducts. Are we going to continue this {
wasteful cutting of our woodlands and ,
deprive our grandchildren of these ^
things? We can always have a bountiful
supply of these and other pro- <
ducts if we cut our woodlands wisely (
and only when the trees are ready ^
to he harvested. .
For information or advice about j
how to manage your woodlands for (
greater profit and continued yield, }j
write the District Forester, Camden, j,
S or see your county agent. ^
The State Forest Service will he ^
H.-ol to assist you in any problem reluting
to Forest Management.

health. He was resting on the bed
after breakfast, as has beon his custom
since his Illness, with Mrs. Richards
and his daughter, Mrs. John

the anniversary of that of his only
son, Stephen M. Richards, who died
at a training camp during the World
War.
As governor Mr. Richards signed
the $65,000,000 highway bond act
which resulted in the development of
the present state-highway system, recognized
as one. of the finest tn the
nation. He also sponsored a movement
to develop the natural resources
of the state and South Carolina became
known as the "Iodine State
while he was in office.
He was tho first governor elected
after the' constitution was amended to
Increase the term from two to four
rears and to declare the incumbent
ineligible for re-election.
The early part of his administration
Is remembered for his efforts to enforce
the state's antiquated blue laws.
A profound and devout church member,
he tried hard to halt Sunday
amusements but met with little success.
Mr. Richards sought the governorship
three times before he finally won
election over eight other candidates.
[Je ran In T910, 1914 and In 1918.
At the conclusion of his term in
1931 he retired to his farm and boyaood
home but was soon back in pubic
life when Governor Olin Johnston
appointed him a member of the state
ax commission. Ironically, Mr. Riehards
had advocated the abolishment
if this commission during his adminstration.
In after years he said that
vhile he iMas sincere, he had made a
nistake.
Mr. Richards, born at Liberty Hill.
September 11, 1864, was the son of
lie Rev. John Gardiner and Sophie
Smith) Richards; he attended the
jreparatory school there and at Iiinguim
Military Institute at Mcbane, N.

irominent in lancing tournaments and
ox hunting. On JuiMi 12, 1SS8, he
carried Miss Elizabeth Coates Worknan,

His political career began when he
as elected magistrate in 1892, holdig
this ofiice for eight years; he
erved as a member of the house of
epresent aVives 1898-1909. being chair- I
lan of tho ways and means eominitgo
several years. He was a trustee
f Clemson college 1905 to 1910.
In 1910. Mr. Richards was elected
i the state railroad commission (now
ie public service commission). He
gm tiined on that body for eight
ears, during which he was chairman
f the National Association of Railays
and first president of the South

In 1922, he returned to
the commission and served until elected
governor four years later.
At the time of the World War, Richards
was a member of the executive
committee of the state council of defense.
Mr. Richards was an admirer and a
close friend of the late Senator Beujamln
Ryan Tillman, and was the
foremost leader in the movement to
erect a monument to Tillman on the
State House grounds. He was chairman
of the Tillman Momorial com-,
mission and one of his last public ap-1
I pearances in Columbia was at tho uu-l
I veiling of the Tillman monument in
J May,,.1940. Associate Justioe James
! F. Byrnes, then Senator Byrnes, made
the address of the occasion.
Although a staunch prohibitionist/ *
Richards, as a member of the state
tax commission, helped to administer
the state's liquor laws.
He served both as a deadon and
an elder in the Presbyterian ohurch
and often filled the pulpit if the mln-.
ister was absent.
His only son, Stephen M. Richards,
died of pneumonia at Camp Dodge,
Iowa, while in service in the World
war.
Mr. Richards took great pride in his *
home and his family, and while he delighted
in politics and in meeting people
in his office and at campaign
meetings, he was never so happy as
when at home at Liberty Hill, In the
midst of his family, entertaining visitors.
Until Illness weakened him last
March, he made the trip from Liberty
Hill to Columbia and back again four
times each week, and the distance
from Liberty Hill to Columbia is approximately
50 miles.
On September 11, the occasion of his *
77th birthday, a birthday party was
held at the handsome old home at
Liberty Hill. His wife, his children, f
his grandchildren and friends gathered
about him as he cut the birthday
cake and goodwill and merriment
reigned.
