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.

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

team, lu the latter event. Indication* |
were that the South Caroliuu team
would ttud rough sledding lu the district

Camden sport funs are going to like
Jim Thompson, the new sports editor
of the Columbia State. 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

Only a few weeks remain before the
football clan begin their scries of'
fall pilgrimages to Zemp stadium to
watch the Camden Hull Dog* In ac- '
Hon. 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?_.
Ions showers of aqua pura upon the

games played found the Kendalls do-1
feat lug the Mecl^mlcs 8 to 4, with
the Kendalls getting 15 hits and thai
Mechanics .8. In the only other game,
