Bve think it would be a fine gesture Bo offer them to the government. * * * I Don't fail to read the letter written By C. browning Smith of Greenville, Bhich appears in another column of Bhis issue of The Chronicle. This corBer has. for a long time, been trying Bo amass sufficient adjectives to exBress his disgust over the attitude B>f some labor organizations in regard Bo strike and other Interruptions of defense production. Mr. C. Browning Ismitli really goes to town in his letBer which appeared in the Saturday isBue of ilie Charlotte Observer, and Bhich i- captioned "Goofy To Him". By al! means, read this letter. ? I John >. Baldwin, sentenced to die in the g;i- i hamber of North Carolina state pri-ou last Friday, Is unhappy because he is a live, and he is alive because Hie governor commuted his death ser.'enee to life imprisonment. Notifn-'l of the action of the governor Baldwin sent a message to the chief ey.wmive to the effect that he *as going to sue him for interfering with ;h- court's action of sentencing him to die. L'P in Asheville the county rationing board has worked out a swell idea to curb .-pc-eding and reckless driving. Names of the motorists who speed *111 be placed in the public "UnPatrio';. Roll". The rationing board states t.iis step is taken in an effort to eliminate speeding on rubber tires that art- becoming more and more scarce. ' ? m The above plan could bo worked out In Camden and probably in many other places, with much success. There h no question but that a sharp reduction is to be made in the allot?*nt kj: tires to the various rationing hoards and in view of the fact per 180118 ruining tires beyond the recap' ping stage are committing a crime against the nation. * This "Unpatriotic Roll" is going to be effective because persons who get" I their names on it will have a hard 'time getting now or recapped tires in tho future. * ? ? Officials of the annual South CaroI lina State Fair, together with a ruinj ber of county fair officials, who announced fairs for this fall, are going to have plenty of trouble when they attempt to stage the exposit'ons. (Uncle Sam is threatening to cut off or curtail electric voltage. In other words, no electric power will he available for fairs without special authorization from the War Production Hoard in Washington. While it is true that some carnival companies carry generating units, the fair associations must have local power to light the grounds, pavillious and exhibition buildings. The Serious Side of Things I guess there are a lot of folks in Camden who felt the same as I did when I said good bye to Moultrie 13. Burns, who left Saturday to cuter the service of his country at Charleston. Moultrie Burns was one of the first Camdenites I met when I came here in 1936, and he served as president of the Chamber of Commerce a greater part of the first year it was in existence. He has served as a director for a number of years and was a director when he left last week. * I don't recall ever meeting a chap who inspired the respect and admiration that Moultrie Burns did. He was and is my ideal of a typical American j gentleman. As a business man, an agriculturalist, a club man and a citizen, he was tops. He will be tops as fa soldier. Good luck to you Moultrie Burns. Cyril Harrison, Camden polo coach, really started something when he aslc1 ed the Camden News service to broadcast the story of the proposed mountj ed beach patrol. The Chamber of Commerce here has been deluged with letters from North and South Carolina from persons seeking information about the mounted patrol. : r ? ? ? | Sport Potpourri BY THE SKIPPER | Prospects for another heavyweight battle* between Joe Louis and Billy Conn are encouraging. In the last meeting between these two outstanding heavies, Conn had a big edge on the champion for 13 rounds, mainly through his fast foot work and boxing skill. When Billy elected to wade in and exchange punches with the champion, he ran smack into trouble. If Conn exercises his cleverness as a boxer he is certain to decision Louis. If he plans to exchange punches with the champion, he is going to take another beating. All South Carolina is united in pulling for the Florence Junior Legion baseball team to win out in the annual district " tournament which started Wednesday at Florence. Florence won the state tournament and also the regional tournament, defeat tug the Greenville Juniors lu the for-1 in or uiul the Hlrmlnghaiu. AUbuau j team, lu the latter event.

Jimmy hails from Greenville where he wus u shorts scribe and radio sport caster. ? * * * Football fans will be able to hear ( the All-Star game at Soldiers' Field In Chicago next Friday. ?

The tlrsl game will be played on September IS, but whether it will be a home game or on some foreign field still remains to be decided. The i big game of the year, and one which attracts the largest crowd, will be played against the Sumter (lainecocks on October 3, Some of the railbirds are predicting a successful season for the Hull Dogs. This means that the team is going to be good However, more about this subject when the boys re-' turn from the two weeks' mountain camp 111 Tuxedo, North Carolina. Slpce the start of the second half of the Camden softhall league, lull two games have been played. The j weather man has been turning cop?_.
