The following letter from Mr.. R.
M. Norment, 1umberton man who
is now city editor of the Columbia
Record, explains itself:
Columbia, S. c., Sept. "a, 1917.
"Dear Mr.. Sharpe:
"The Robson county men at Camp
jackson, of which there are large
number, eagerly devour my copy Of
The Robesonian which I give them
twice a week and am writing to see
if you could not get some Of your
subscribers to send their copies here.
1t would be best, of course, for some
body to subscribe to two or three
copies for them, but if no one feels
like doing this they could mail them
here after having read them them
selves. If you think you could get
anyone to do this would be glad to
furnish you addresses of men who
do not feel able to take The Robe
sonian. If any one feels like send
! ing it they need only subscribe for
a few months as present plans con-
template the removal of the men
now here in about three months.
"Columbia is going to raise $4,000
to buy magazines and books for
Camp Jackson, tbs campaign having
been started today, but no papers
will be included in this.
81 am sure many of the selected
men here would appreciate it if you
would take this matter up.
! 'With best~wishes for you and The
Robesonian, [ am,
"Yours very truly,

(By PETER rP. CARNEY Editor National Sports Syndicate

Once more the Glorious Fourth" rolls around, and with it's arrival comes the snapping of torpedoes-- the bark of firecrackers and many other methods of celebration And also once more comes the sincere plea of the commonsense reformer for safety and sanity.
 The Spirit of the Fourth is. in deed, hard to curb, and justly so For the small boy, yes, even the grown up, must give vent to his pent-up patriotosm And noise must be in herent with the occasion, else it would not be much of a Fourth.
 While we have no serious com plaint to make with things as they are, still one cannot deny the just claims of the safe and sane Fourth advocate. Accidents will happen and the casualty list of the great National holiday often totals up into surprising figures.
 On the other hand. instead of try ing to curb the celebration tenden- cie5 of the vigorous American youth this question arises Why not edu- cate him to a sport which gives zest to the day and adds real recreation to the spirit of celebration.
 Makes For Better Fourth
 Nothing could be more appropriate or enjoyable than a Trapshooting" Fourth, and, incidentally, no other sport could be more educating in it's influences. It is not only filled with the true patriotic spirit, but it is first-class education in the handling and skillful use Of firearms-a vir- tual gun training that goes handin- hand with the persent day advocacy of the Nations Home Guard"
 Furthermore it's tendency to de velop alert, quick-thinking minds and the ability to concentrate and exer- else rapid judgment is factor not to be lost sight of, to say nothing of the degree of real physical exer- else the sport affords
 Better still, it is a pastime that may be indulged in by all ages and both sexes, and offers an ever-pres- ent challenge to the skill of both ex- pert and novice. It never grows old or tiring because the tricky flight of it's featherless targets presents a new problem at every spring of the trap.
 As an indication of the secure hold that this clean. democratic sport has taken upon it's devotees. perhaps it is only necessary to add that this Fourth will witness thou sands of shooters drawn up about the score"-the threshold which marks the entrance into the game
 There will be 12 tournaments reg istered by the Interstate Association for the Encouragement of Trapshoot, ing, and several hundred club tour naments, in which members will com pete in class events for trophies. Participation in these events is not limited to members of the mascu line sex. In many parts of the Unit ed States and Canada women are taking keen interest in trapshoot ing. This is as it Should be, for sure ly there can be no more enjoyable pastime than the sport alluring"

An umpire may be nuisance. hightwayman, kidnaper, ye2gman, boob, pirate, fat-head, mutt, joke, bum, murderer thug, blind, crazy and all the rest of it. But the smartest guy that ever lived has never yet invented a ball game with the umpire detached. Figure the rest of it out yourself.

LORD PALMERSTON WAS
FRIEND OF RING GAME
IN IT'S EARLY DAYS

Lord Palmerton. the great British
statesman who died about 81 years
ago, was staunch defender OF the
boxing game In the Sos of the past
century, when pugilism was being
rigidly suppressed in Great Britain, a
hot debate on the subject, in which the
celebrated Prime Minister figured
conspicuously, added interest to the
proceedings in the Re.sse of Lords.
In replying to one of the critics of
boxing. Lord Palmerton said:
There may be difference Of opin-
ion. as a matter Of taste, whether
pugilism affords a spectacle one would
wish to see, or whether 1t is calculated
to excite disgust. Some people look
upon 1t as an exhibition of manly.
courage characteristic of the people
of this country. saw the other day
a long extract from a French news
paper describing a ring fight as
type of national character for endur-
anec, patience and suffering, of in
domitabfe perseverance In deter
mined effort, and holding it up as q
specimen of the manly, admirable
qualities of the British race.
All this, OF course, is merely a. mat
| ter of opinion; but, really setting
aside all legal technicalities of the
case, do not perceive why any num-
| Der of persons who assemble to wit
ness prize fight are more guilty of "a
breach of the peace than an equal

| of the peace. They go to see fight
Land when the fight is over they re-

one. AS to the danger to those who
