Along thin same lino the Providence Journal says: "He who legitimately holds and properly uses an X or B card will have nothing to tear and nothing to apologize for. He who chisels can be the more effectively diocked. Chiselers and wasters are menaces to the ration program. They are bad neighbors, unfair drivers, and unpatriotic people. ? And from tho dear old conservative Columbia State comes the following: A reader of this newspaper, after seeing that many members of congross had taken unto themselves the "fill 'em up" type of gasoline card, sends in this fine quip: "It looks as if after the fajl elections we will have many TC" senators- and X congressmen." Not bud, and not without its truth. While on the subject of gasoline, let's take a look at the picture that offers through the protest made by the governor of North Carolina and also by former governor Olin Johnston of this state. They found that gas being brought into North and South Carolina was being transported to Tennessee, where there are no re' strictioiiB. From Spartanburg alone, 30,000 gallons was being transported out daily. * This would appear to be another demonstration of . bungling, incomI petency and waste somewhere. Thousands and thousands of people are disgusted and wondering what next. Some of our congressmen continue to pull boners, the latest being a guy named Young from Ohio, wjio in a speech before a large Cleveland au1 dience boasted that "America's armed ! forces will take possession of Mari Unique." Rather crude remark when ' ticklish negotiations were under way concerning this island. We wonder 'what would have happened at Madagascar had some member of the British House of Commons had blurted iout the fact that the British armed I forces were going to tatfe that Is- j I land. Lugoff Father Has Four Sonsln Service I Otis Hinson, a WPA laborer, residing in the town of Lugoff believes there are such things as go^d-star .fathers. In fact, he regards himself as being in that category. Mr. Hinson has four sons, now in the armed forces of the nation. Serjeant Kenneth E. Hinson, age 24, is overseas, his exact whereabouts not | being known to his father and broth! ers. ? , , Three other sons, two privates, an a corporal, are with the 118th Infan1 try of the 30th Division at Fort Jack!son They are Corporal Willie Hinson land Privates Edward and Otis. Corporal Willie Hinson is married 'and his wife makes her home with j her parents, east of this city dating the time Willie is giving his all for Uncle Sam. The Camden Chamber of Commerce has written to the Emblem of Honor association in New York, to ascertain if that organiratfcta has som kind of a medal to offer the fathers having four sons In the armed forces. Mr Hinson's wife, mother of his four sons now in service, died several wears ago. He. was married a second tithe recently," and according to his sons, the second Mrs. Hinson has been a wonderful mother to them *11.

' ' City Prepare* For Maneuver* Again (Continued from first pugs) develop they will be annouueed through the press and over the radio, it was stated last week. Camden restauraut proprietors, drug store owuers and general merchant* declared they would be ready to serve the soldiers with one hundred per cent efficiency. Next tall maneuvers on a greater scale and similar to those hold tast fall will bo started, practically the same area being used as was covered a year ago. I.and owners In 11 North Carolina counties uud six South Carolina counties are urged In proclamations by Coventor Ilroughton of North Carolina and Governor Jefferles of South Carolina to be Issued Sunday morning at Fort Jackson, S. C., to cooperate fully with the United States army In granting five-year maneuver rights on 2,853.433 acres of land In the two s(at. &. It Is the purpose of the army to stage In these 17 counties this fall another mammoth maneuver, It was recently announced, and efforts t6 obtain the necessary approval of land owners involved are now being started. The North Carolina counties are Mwvhlen'mrg, Cabarrus, Union, Stanly, Montgomery, Moore, Leo, Anson, Richmond, Scotland and Hoke, while the South Carolina counties are Lancaster, Chesterfield, Marlboro, Kershaw, Lee, and Darlington. At the conclusion of the huge Carolina maneuvers last fall, Lieutenant General Lesley J. McNalr, who some time ago was named commander of American ground forces said that the army waH delighted with the maneuver results In this area, thought the terrain highly suitable for the type of training being given, and was particularly pleased with the cordiality of the citizens of the maneuver area and their hospitality to the soldiers. General McNalr said then that if the maneuvers were held this year, he would recommend that they be held again In the Carolinas area. The proclamations of the two Governors will point out that land owners signing over maneuver rights for the period of July 1, 1942, to July 1, 1947, were exercising a patriotic service that will serve to strengthen the nation's victory drive as well as give troops who train on their land a better chance to come through the war alive. Captain Foster W. Kells, Fourth Corps area rents board officer at Fort Jackson, declared there last night that the army "will do everything possible to protect private property and will guarantee a fair settlement covering any damage occuring." Civilian and army representatives are taking the field at once In order to "have all necessary land under signature by June 15." Each land owner in the area, said Captain Kells, will be sent a letter in which there will be a card for his signature signing over maneuver rights. "If land owners will sign these cards and send them back to us, It will save the government time, tires and gasoline," said the captain, j "When we signed up maneuver rights in the Columbia, S. C., area, more than 70 per cent of the land owners signed these cards and thereby saved us endless time and detail." Civilian representatives for North Carolina have not been named, he said, but already named to serve in the South Casollna area are William C. Goldberg, Darlington; E. C. Zemp, Camden; George M. Faile, Kershaw; John Henry Ellen, Jr., Bishopville; P. K. Gibson, McColl; C. C., Pouglass, Chesterfield; and B. J. Outen, Pageland. The area sought in North Carolina totals 1,828,973 acres and In South Carolina 1,024,460 acres. The biggest single area sought Is that In Chesterfield county, S. C., a total of 536,000 acres. Union county comes next, with 411,520 acres requested for use of the soldiers In training. Little difficulty In obtaining the signatures of the land owners In the area is expected, according to the Fort Jack*on officers.

FORTY YEARS ON ONE PLACE; MAN LEFT MANY DESCENDANTS 1 I The funeral of Isaac Alexander, I 69-year-old colored man, was held at ; Zlon Hill Mothodlst church In the Oantey Hill section Sunday, with the Rev. W. W. McCullouKh officiating. He died Thursday, May 14. on the Pet McDowell place near Flat Hock. He was born In the Cantey Hill section and resided on the Mickle plantation for forty years, until It was purchased by Clifford Leonard, a number of years ago. Isaac was a most reliable und valued employee until his health failed a few years ago. His was a large family connection, there being three brothers and one sister. He loft six chlldfen and many descendants, one daughter rearing fourteen children. Bangtails Shoes To Be Scarce Someono, sometime, and somewhere , wanted a horse. He needed the horse badly, in fact so dire was the necessity of him obtaining a bang-tail that in stentorian tones he yelled. "A horse, a horse, my kingdom for u horse." If our memory serves us correctly he got the horse. If that particular individual were to loudly proclaim his wish for a horse today he might get one but after lie had aotjulrod Dobbin he probably would be worse off as having a car with tires worn down to pan-cake thinness. The reason: Horse shoes are to become as rare as tires. This statement is based upon a report from one of the oldest and largest producers of horse shoes in the country who declares that getting a horse shoo will soon rank as a major feat. That iA, after business concerns and manufacturers have exposed their present inventories. As a result a large horse shoe manufacturing linn said foxy urban residents who plan to hitch a horse to the shay to travel to work, will be unable to get any, A spokesman for a large manufacturing tlrm said that this is particularly important, because from city after city they are getting orders from firms switching ? --friim nmlny t|U('kn to ilorSQH and WHgons. However, no shoes are being shipped. The only relief for those companies is for them to complain to WPB, which may or may not grant permission to get shoes. In the event that thiH permission has been received, aftor a company individual has gone through the long process of finding horses and wagons, which are repo^tod extremely scarce, tho road ahead still remaihB bare of shooB. That's also bocause of tho war. Horse shoe manufacturing companies are loaded with sub-contracts on vital war work, on which it has A-l-A priorities?Just about tops. As a result all facilities are being devoted to this production. Meanwhile a backlog of orders for horseshoes sufficient for ftve months of normal operation, is not being worked on. Material needed for these carries only an A-3 rating, and so the higher rated work comes flrBt. . To make tho pinch complete, it Is ' announced by the firm that production of pitching horse shoes?the kipd for barnyard golf---i8 even in a worse predicament. Production on them seems out for the war. In the event that sportsmen And this too great a blow, it is suggested they whittle some shoes out of wood. ?
