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

trict. Boy Scouts of America, held at
the office of Henry Sarage, Jr.,

spring was emphasized.

^ 3. Provide safeguards for the publio
against strikes or boycotts arising from
disputes between unions.
