Friday, March 22, 1946 RIGHT YOU SAM LATIMER ■ Sam Latimer, publisher of the Columbia State, like all Camden people has a deep affection for Harry D. Kirkpver, beloved Camden resident and the man who put Camden in to the national spotlight through his elfwtive organization and presentation of the famous Carolina cup race program. In his paper last week Tuesday, Mr. Latimer editorial izes in “Mr. Kirkover thusly: ‘The Carolina Cup is to be run again. ‘The date is April 6 and the scene, of course, Camden. “From Harry D. Kirkover, beloved winter resident of Caipden, the man who organized the modern versiop of the' race and who has direct^ the 13 meetings^ held in recen;t years comes word that the Victory rnnning of this famous steeplechase should be the best in the long Kries. “The State is glad that the Carolina Cup is to be re sumed. It is too fine a thing to» abandon, and it is well, too, that it be.renewed this year, the first possible opiportunity since the war, ratl^r than t<^ wait until later. “But the specml object of this editorial is to say.a word about Mr. Kirkoveh who is a valuable asset tosCamden and therefore to South Carolina. A charming genfteman, inter ested in clean sport, his interdsts are wide and varied. He is exceptionally well informed about many things, especially the theater, possessing a wonderful library on the stage, with accompanying collection of pictures, programs and memen tos. He loves his horses and his dogs, a^ he loves people, numbering hia friends among all ages, particularly young people, some of whom he has helped to achieve their am- bitiono.” THEY DID IT AGAIN Well, they did it again. The South Carolina General Assembly elected one of its own members. Senator J. Frank Eatmon to succeed Judge Phillip H. Stoll of the 'Third Judi cial district. The result was no surprise as the General As sembly has usually been a stepping stone to higher and bet ter paid positions by its members. There were four candidates for the office of judge of the Third district. Only one of them, Henry C. Jennings of Bishopyille was not a member of the General Assembly.* And the Lee ebuntv man did not have the ghost of a chance of being elected, although the bar in the area were strongly in his favor. We agree with the Winnsboro Herald when it says, “The people should raise a righteous howl, they should ask questions and secure pledges during campaign years, until this pernicious practice is ended. It represents anything but good government, and while it may be legally righi it is morally wrong. And incidentally, it is extremely bad taste“i COURAGE AND INTELUGENCE r If the farmer sat down on his broken'i^w and refused to till his fields, or ii he sat down on his harvesting equip ment and refused to gather his crop, the result would be no different than when" men in industry stop production. Food production drops because the efficiency of the farm’s opera tion depends on equipment more than it doeston the farm er’s back—no matter how strong he may be—^because mod ern farming requires highly specialized equipment. Let it be said that striking does not Show intelligence—any ma chine can be stopped by stripping one of its gears; intelli gence is shown when a machine is kept from breaking dowm. The ^me holds true of our national economy. The farmer has shown great strength against great ob stacles. ^t the man in industry realize that it takes courage to show intelligence and uhintemipted production, as con trasted with lack of intelligence which calls a strike and paralyzes production. - Scout Activities At a meeting of the Kershaw Dla- trict. Boy Scouts of America, held at the office of Henry Sarage, Jr., March 14. It was announced that Judge Tlmnrorman could not be present as speaker at the Court of Honor, to be held April 5, It was reported by George Mickle and C. L. Shealy that the recent training course was quite successful and that an average of fifteen had been in attendance. The need^f a "training course in camping" this spring was emphasized. It was announced that Boy Scouts in uniform would be admitted free to the Victory cup races April 6. for Prompt Service CALL S. & M. Cabs D. J.

South Carolina more than met her challenge during the war for its men and women in m Naval Service and continues with her splendid record during the transition frmn war to peace, Commander Palmer added. In addition to 17-18 year bid men enlisting for the first time, many men who served during the hard war years are reedlisting and ^enjoying the sj^ial advantage of the peace time R^rular Navy.
