WE DON'T LIKE TO BE TOLD ?If the war la won, It's not going to j be won by the folka back home. We 'are all more or leaa too busy comj plaining . . . We haven't got time to I help very much . . . for grumbling I and accusing and growling and cuas| lng. Our wrath la poured out dally | on aome poor government official who Ih trying to do his auty. ,,?Funny thing . . . nobody has raised any sand at all about /oft drinks and / whiskey and tobacco and cigarettes and bear going up. Of course these things come first, while food and clothing come last. Noticed anybody doing without any of the above mentioned necessities? No? (But some are using substitutes). ?If you read the papers and hear folks talk, you'll conclude that nobody in charge of government matters has hulf as much sense as a billy goat. We don't give 'em credit for anything. If they clamp down on an Item?ration it, we begin to find big supplies of it Bomewhere . . . mostly somewhere, way off. Hitler dearly loves for us to act like that. ?We are all apparently Just going along and expecting to win the war without much sacrifice from the homefolks. All of the fighting is being done by our soldiers and sailors, or rather?the army, the navy and the air corps. We are too busy fussing about what we have not and what the other guy has that we can't get . . . to render much service. ?We are raising the devil about price fixing and price Ceilings. That's the best move that the government has so far made. Any of you fellows happen to be old enough to remember 1919 and 1920? Remember sugar at 35c per lb. Flour at $20 per barrel? Old fatback meat at 27c per lb.? A pair of cheap overalls at $3.50? Well, price ceilings are for the purpose of permitting a poor man and a semipoor man to live. But let's keep on fussing: that'B an old American custom. Before this war is over, there will be more people weeping than there are now complaining about foolish things. MISSES SMITH HAVE RETURNED FROM THEIR VACATION ?miss Jennie veeve smith has return ed back home from a 2-weeks stay In the blue ridge mountains of n. c. and vlrglnny. she did not go as far as vlrglnny, but she buw It from the top of big smokey, so she says. ?miss Jennie veeve says she will never leave home again In a car until after the duration, she had an "a" gas card and evverboddy looked at her like she was a fool, going so far from home with so little prospect of getting back, her 4 tires .were Terry wtak allso, and the inner tube poked out of the left front tire before she got half way up the mountains. ?she had a blowout on sunday and her and her sister, sallie veeve, set there in the road for 6 hours, noboddy woulddent stop to help them; they were possibly afeared that she would wont to borry a tire or a tube or something, and she being a lady, she mought of succeeded had they of stopped and offered help, she was toed-in by a garrage for & dollars and he put a shoe In it for 2 dollars, it hell out all the way but kept them in a Jitters state of mind. ?miss smith Is in harmony with the gowernment and believes in the rashloning of things, but she says she will newer leave her boarding house again with poor tires and no gas much, she enjoyed herself a right smart after she got to the mountings, they roughed it at a cabin for 6$ a week and done their own cooking ansoforth. she missed her old bath room a great deal, the one they had up there at the cabbln was 50 yards south, other accommodations were o. k. except the beds and the cooking utensils and the roof (which leaked) and the two chairs and the oil stove, which was evidently recovered from the dump-heap 5 yr. ago. Kendalls In Win Over Clever Gals (Continued from first page) and Lynch digging in to soak the leather to the horizon. But a blonde named Lee, who had taken over the hurling duties after Quillen, a tall, auburn-haired southpaw, had pitched five beautiful rounds, decided Lynch needed a rest and forced him to roll an easy grounder to the dame at first who goes by the name of Williams, and who is really one sweet firstsacker. The boyisb haircut Miss Williams wears had the front row experts guessing; several of the Main street lads offering to bet some sizable rolls that "she Is a he." Sorry hoys. It really was Miss Williams. Some of the Kendall lads who had visions of strutting their base stealing ability, were given a rude shock by a Miss Hickson. who worked back of the bat for the visitors. Her peg to second was like a rifle bullet, as Benny Robinson, Tommie Bruco and some others found out. When the boys leached the second bag they found a nice-looking Miss Smith or Miss Laye, waiting for them with thp ball and a bewitching grin. The game marked the second time these two teams have met this season, the first game going ten innings to a 1 to 1 score at Mt. Holly. The Kendalls Journeyed to Mt. Holly last Friday night for a game and efforts were to be made to arrange a fourth game here the latter part of the month. The Mt. Holly girls are to play in the state tournament, then the regional tournament if they win the state crown, and if they are successful in the regional classic, will go to Detroit to play in the national tournament. Camden softball fans, in fact, all of the sporting inclined, would like to see the girls play here again. If a game is arranged it is a safe bet that every bit of Rtanding room around the baseball arena will be packed with fans while the seats of the ble&cher section will be quickly grabbed up. The line score of the game last Thursday follows: .-^Kendalls?3 runs, 3 hits and no errors. Mt. Holly?0 runs, 5 hits and one error. Batteries: Kendalls, Robinson and Taylor; Mt. Holly, Quillen, Lee and Hfckson. Roustabout Admits Setting Circus Fire Pittsburgh, Auk. *6. ? District Attorney Itussoll II.

Blease Tells Of Threat Message (Continued from first page) served In the legislature for four years, but, he said, "if I told you that everything was done then was done by me I would bo insulting your intelligence. The things that were accomplished then were done by 170 men." Manning said "some governors have issued a list of pardons. They can't give thorough consideration to hundreds of pardous in two or three months." And "The governor is supposed to stay in his office and act with good sense and sanely." Later Manning said, "I didn't wait until five minutes of 12 to run for governor. I had thingB I wanted to do for the people of South Carolina. I had a program." Johnston qualified for the governor's race a few minutes before the deadline. J. P. Richards, incumbent, and Grover F. Patton, superintendent of Winnsboro schools, renewed their verbal duel in the campaign for congress from the Fifth congressional district.
