We believe that nothing has ever hap
pened to Chester-or Rock Hill either
perhaps-more demoralizing than the
late baseball stunts. Gambling seems
to have been open and above board.
In fact it Is spoken Of as matter or
course and just as If it were a regular
Legitimate business. Even small boys
are said to have been running around
with money in their hands challenging
any one to "cover it." The impetus
given to the gambling spirit is evident
from the gamblers parlance to be
heard on the streets. 1t behooves pa
rents and all those who are concerned
about the rising generation and the
interests Of good morals to heed the
warning and set better influences to
work. We have not entered very ex-
tensively into this wrangle over the
late games played between Chester and
Rock Hill, because, We confess, we had
no heart in it, in view of the attending
decentralization. We see in the Rock
Hill papers, unless we misread them,
tone of protest against the evil we
are condemning, and we are glad to
see it, 1t is the duty Of the press to
sound a warning when it sees threat
ening danger. and that is why we are
writing these words now. We trust
that all good citizens will take heed
before 1t Is too late, stand up boldly
for the right and make their influence
felt. Don't leave the whole battle to
the press.
