BY COOPERATIVE PLAN
Company Proposes to Reduce
Costs for Home Investors.

road entrance to Rock Creek Park
at a cost below that of current realty
values, 10 the plan OF the Realty
Finance and Investment Company, OF
Washington, as outlined before chair
man Calder OF the Senate Reconstruc-
tion Committee, by officials OF that
concern
Thomas ]. Echols, vice president
and general manager or the concern
told the Senator, who has the ques-
tion OF housing before the coinmit-
tee for consideration that his nrm
will build a seyen-room house ct the
entrance to the park which Ii for
sale at $4,000. or more than $1,000
less than the present market value
for similar houses and have the prop
erty In the hands OF the purchasers
this summer.
PLAN Is OUTLINED.
The plan as outlined before the
Senate calls for the payment OF 81 900
by the purchaser as n cash payment
on the property the time OF pur-
chase. On this money eight per cent
interest will be paid unil the house

tically aids in financing the construc-
He Is given an opportunity to make

The lots facing Park and Pierce
Mill roads In the first group of
houses to be built. measure 81 by

Ancient Aviation
Stunts in Hawaii
Hawaiians Centuries Ago Sail
ed From High Cliffs into
the Ocean

Honolulu. T. H. Aug. 16.-Thriiis
of flying were enjoyed by Hawai-
ians centuries before aviation was
invented, according to stories told
,,v natives of today. Their. ances--
tors got their aerial excitement by
jumping off cliffs into the ocean IN
homemade planes"
They made a regular game OF it,
known as "lele pail" or Jumping
from the cliff 1t was played up,
70 a hundred years or SO ago by na--
tiyes who lived near groves Oh
lo,,l,, nlanos near high cliffs over
looking the ocean.
Details of the game have been
Obtained by William J. Coelno, "a
former newspaper editor now an
officer of the Hale IA AHl Ha-
waii (House Of Chiefs.) This is
what he says Of the vanished sport.
The game was played with huge
contrivances built Of light but stout
sticks and overwoven with loufu
palu leaves. Several Of these at
fairs were made ready, the ta-
waiian "aviators" took their seats,
and were pushed over towering
cliffs at the same time. The ad-
venturer who remained longest In
the air was the winner.
Often through carelessness or
excitement plane" would execute
a nose dive similar to those OF
twentieth century airplanes. The
only damage was the loss OF the
game.
Old Hawaiians say that their fly
ing men We're exceptionally skiilful.
The only means they had Of guid-
ing their crude appliances was to
shift their weight to maintain bat-
ance as they zigzagged down to-
ward the sea.
A fleet of outrigger canoes an
chored offshore to pick up the
sportsnen and retrieve the planes,
Exceptionally daring Hawaiians
often hoped off thousand foot
cliffs on the mainland, it is said.

Camden Takes
First Game
Batting Rally by Sumter
Broken Up by Rain When
Things Were Looking Up
For Home Team

Ever since the days when the
old Main street park was the local
"Boyle's Thirty Acres Camden has
ha the Indian sign on Sumter's
baseball team and Thursday was
no exception. Leo Miiler's Pets
winning 5 to by clean hitting in a
game that was interrupted once,
and finally broken up by "tOle
Jupe'' The lone features were the
fielding Of Wilson, a catch behind
first by Crawford and the hurting
of Sheril who yielaed six scattered
hits until the eighth when rain per
haps prevented the 'Gamecocks'
from balancing the score sheet.
Camden opened up her attack In
the initial round when Wilson first
up singled through short, the ball
taking bad hop by O'Neal. Park
cr sacrificed out to Crawford unas-
sisted, Wilson taking second NAL
lonee singled, scoring Wilson, and
advanced to second on the throw
in. Paterson kept up the barrage
with a single to the middle zone,
but Mallonee was held on third.
Snipes famed and Lowe was out to
Crawford unassisted on a good
stop. In the second Sheriff. singled
with two down but was forced at
second on Wilson's hopper, Shealy,
F. to O'Neal. The. visitors tailed
twice in the third when Parker
singled and Paterson tripled over
the fence "of his chin" and scored
on Snipe's single. Two more We're
added in the fifth and sixth. With
two down Paterson walked, stole
second on a much disputed decision
and scored on Snipe's second hit.
The fifth and last run came with
two down also when Sheriff. reach
ed up over his head and slapped
the pill over the left center fence.
The home team started off we'll
when O'Connor NJ. and Crawford
singled after Phillips had flied out
to deep center, but O'Connor was
doubled at second on Paterson's
swell catch Of Shealy's line drive.
Phillips tripled with two down in
the third but was left when O'Con-
nor grounded out to second. 1t
was three up and three down for
the home hopes in the 4th. 5th and
9Th; a snappy double play turning
the trick in the latter inning after
Phillips had singled with one down.
The home forces tailed their only
legal run in the ''standup" inning
after Crawford had grounded out
to Mallonee and Shealy, A. had
flied OUT to Paterson on O'Neafs
single and Shealy's two-bagger to
right coupled with Paterson's wild
throw. Camden went out without
a mishap in the incomp!eted eighth.
but Hawkins. Ludwig and O'Con-
nor, NJ. singled scoring Hawkins,
leaving two on and one down when
the deluge came.
The two teams meet again today
with Benson being the probable Sc
lection for the visitors and Hall for
the home crowd.

Editorial reply by Columbia
State):
G'he Choice Before the People.
The letter Of Mr.. j. 3. Wallace
in The State today contains rep
etition of much truth that has been
said and written In South Carolina
the last 80 or 40 years, but the an
swer to it IS that if the people are
getting tired of being made the
goat" it is time for the people to
reform their code of laws and the
administration Of it. If the govern
ment in South Carolina is still in
the hands Of the people and its
lawyers and others outwit and cir
cumvent the purposes Of tt peo-
pie, the fault is in the peor e them
selves.
In other words the gove nment,
the laws, the lawyers and .e Off
GERS can be no better thar he peo-
pie themselves and whe' he peo-
pie give up the effort y work
through organized and civilized
processes, the sole alterr live is to
go back to primitive an unciviliz-
ed processes, which i. say the
rule of the moo.
When the mob rules u one is
safe. Granting that it be ms by
hanging the bloody mu 'er, it
turns aside in a few l. nths Or
days tc hang the worthy farmer,
the pious clergyman or the useful
banker. Nothing more surely than
that is taught by history and eX-
perience. Never has any organ
izatioa or body Of men that oper-
ated without the Jaw operated long
without degenerating.
Tie choice before the people of
South Carolina is simple and plain
and the necessity Of making 1t has
not been in many a year so imme-
diate and urgent Unless we shaT.
have and have quickly q reasser-
ton Of respect for law, we shall
have, in shorter time than one likes
to think upon, more murders and
more =CIlIIlcS Ol SScly NCSSlAp(AOiA
than have disgraced the common
wealth in the last II months.
The people of South Carolina are
not wanting in virtue nor in cour-
age. They can enforce their laws
if they will. They are not so weak
and so ignorant that they needs
must be ruined by sharpers or pet
tifoggers.
Toleratioa of the mob or con-
cession to it by honest men who
believe in morality and peace is
equivalent to encouragement of the
suicide Of civilization. Mob rule in
South Carolina would be no better
than rule by fat black bucks in
the jungles OF the Congo. We must
go forward or backward in South
Carolina and, if we turn to the
mob, we shall travel in a day a
hundred years toward the dark
ages when the strongest arm and
sharpest weapon were always right
in their decisions.

up including a triple, homcrun and
three singles. Hawkins follows
with 333 and Shealy, y. with an
even 900. 1t is regrettable that
the averages for the three games
in Hartsville are unobtainable.
Hawkins, the human boil Weevll.
was forced to retire from the game
in the ninth, foul tip injuring one
of his digits. Phillips took his
place and Haltiwanger, the new
0uttieider, went to left.

Two Out of Three
Sumter Won Last Game Of
Series With Camden 4 to l

l.
game and naturally Sumter came
out with the long end o. to l
score. Camden started out as ii
she were going to get next to Sum-
ter's big Lacquer, but Punk only
tightened up his belt and whipped
en- over with a little more zip ev-
erv time the visitors threatened.
However. Shealy's catch Of Nun
namaker's bid for a hit and subse-
ouent throw to O'Connor doubling
up Lowe saved the tall pitcher
from further trouble in the fourth.
After this inning, in which Camden
scored ner lone marker, the visi-
tors were unable to do anything
with him, men tanning in the last
innings.
The visitors got one hit in each Of
the first three innings but were un-
able to tally. Parker singled with
one down in the first, but was fore
ed at second on Mallonee's hard hit
grounder, Mallonee advanced to
second when Cauthen threw past
Crawford, trying to complete a
double play, but was left as Pater-
son grounded out to Cauthen.
Snipes trip1ed over the fence in the
second and Luther pulled out of
dangerous hole when Lowe and
Nunnamaker grounded out to the
infield and Rhame flew out to right.
Benson singled with none out in
the third and was advanced to sec
ond on Wilson's sacrifice hit, but
Parker grounded out, O'Connor, G..
to Crawford and Malionnee skied
out to the other member of the
O'Connor family.
The visiting boys tailed their
lone run in the fourth when Pater-
son, first up, was hit by pitched
bail and advanced to second on a
wild pitch. Snipcs singled to right
and Paterson was put out at the
plate on Shealy's swell peg to
Hawkins. Snipes went to second
on the THROWN and to third on
Loves one Dagger. Lowe went to
second and Snipes scored when
Hawkins peg hat the runner in the
back and bounding out to left field,
Lowe pulling up at third. Nunna-
maker hit hard drive between
first and second, but Shealy spear
ed the pill and Lowe was doubled
up. After this the visitors never
threatened seriously, peg to
O'Connor by his centerfieiding
brother cutting down Wilson when
he tried to advance on Hawkins
wild peg to center.
Sumter threatened in the fourth
when Crawford and Shealy, A, sin
gled with one down, but a fast
double play Parker to Wilson to
Mallonnee killed the home hopes.
In the fifth with one down O'Con-
nor, A. singled Hawkins laid
down a neat bunt and had it beat,
but Benson threw past first and
both runners advance. Luther up
in the pinch singled sharply just
inside the right field foul line, scor-
ing both. Sumter scored two more
in the seventh on one hit Hawkins
walked and Paterson threw to the
Srandstand on Luthers. grounder,
placing runners on second and
third Phillips came through with
the pinch hit and the total was
four. The next three batters were
easy outs.
Hartsville comes to town today
for a series of three games. Lud-
wig will probably pitch for. the
league leaders, while Walters will
likely oppose him. The game will
be called at ) o'clock sharp.
