Chamber of Commerce Wants ot Help 4-H Club Boys At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of 'the Camden and Ker shaw County' Chamber of Commerce it was decided to foster the financing of one hundred 4-H club boys in Ker shaw county who need help in pur chasing <pure4>red pigs and gilts. The Chamber of Commerce is to fi nance a good number of these out Of its own funds, but the majority will be financed^ by individual business men, business houses and banks.; A large number of individuals anji busi ness houses have' subscribed. TJnder this plan, for instance, Mr. Joh-q Doe, a business man in the county desires to help one or more boys. Mr. Doe's name will' be placed on the list in the Chairber of Commerce office. Mr. Green furnishes the Chamber of Com-.' merce with a list of boys needing as sistance. The boy and Mi^ Doe will be put in touch with eaclv'.other. If the boy wants to buy a $10 registered | pig and he has 6nly $3.00 then Mr. Doe will lend the, necessary $7.00. The Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Green are anxious that ^the transact ion be' carried out on %> strictly busi ress basis, therefore, the 4-H boy and his fa' her or mother d* gaurtiian will rvecute a note and >a mortptage in *rvor of Mr, Dee, tjie pig being the lateral.

I .--r. :\u Will Erect Watch Tower A tower, one hundred^ feet high, has been ordered from Chicago, III., to be erected near Camden. The tow* j er costs .$?,000, and has been purchas ed with a view of the conservation of forests, a- number of people realizing the great economic loss by forest fires. . This is the third tower to be' shipped into South Carolina for thiB purpose. For the first year the cost 1 is estimated at $4,000, which includes the purchase price of the tower. This | will take care of many hundreds of acres of forests, as a reliable man will be kept in the tower with tele-, iphonic connections with the country round about. Maintenance of this new enterprise will come from cori txibutions from large land owners, by associate members and from active members who .will pay a stipulated amount monthly. At the recent coun ty democratic convention resolutions urging reforestation and forest fire prevention \jere unanimously adopted The people of this county appear to be waking ttfp to the importance ofi taking care of their forests. One land-owner aftreed with his tenants that he would give each of them $5.00 { a year to see th*t there were no for est fires on his place during the year, and if there were any fifes he was to be paid $r>.oo by each of them, a kind fof reciprocity arrangement.
