In another column we publish a communication from a good lady friend containing a suggest ion an L ' timely as It Is humane.

No matter how large a city in, if it Ik not heaitTiy it H not and ideal place to live. -Camden is one of the healthiest towns on t h?- face of -t >??* globe. Try to get It in Camden before shopping elsewhore. The following from our neighbor, the Columbia Record, nhould prove interesting to Kershaw home own era: "Darlington is to show Camden a tiling or two about ho rue shows. A meeting for the final arrangements necessary to organze the Darlington Horse Show and Tair Association was held hint week and no\y this much needed organization is an (as sured fact. So rapidly have the de tails been consummated since pub licity has been given them that one scarcely understands, but tills can be explained when tho statement is made that good work has been quiet iy done for some weeks ? almost months? past. Dr. Snyder, a noted Veterinary surgeon and expert horse show man, was present by special invitation and gave all present the benefit of his experience. The charter has already been received. Work has already been actively con Huued. The show lhl? year will In clui)? thr?? day*, beginning July 2 and lasttnic through tho "Oloriou* Fourth."

Wo have no objection to being | "shown,4' but will warn our friend that to equal our show the promot er of this UHHoclatlon will have to go ttfune. No simitar eytfjn.i In j South Carolina or tho whole South | ?for ijuu matter has ever yet sur ; paiHNOd the "C'ulndcn Horse Show, in | good accomplished or horse flesh, shown. <'apt, M. b.

Says Ham Hroek in Tho Columbia Record. MorclmutK Kluuild Advortlwe, Stagnation is the result of getting TfiTT) a rut a'nd stlcfcing there. Tho way to prevent gettliiK Into one and the way to get out, if therein, is to keep one's eyes open, gather ideas from others, try things on their ?Tie ? 1 1 s - and act accordingly. This in uo.'ueth ng 'lot many a biOdnetm man needs to learn There are soni things in business that can never be oispehsed with honorably. Among (hem are probity,1 fairness in deal ing, truthfulness, rnd a lot of other j -Id fashioned virtues. Hut to think | ths(t. u. ertaln methods are a necessl- j t.y tod'.ty bocnuBe they were fifty oi ' more >oars ago, or because one's grand father employed . them is ab- 1 surd and shows that one has got Into a rut. Changing conditions and fushione demand a change oftentlme if) a way that one advertises the bus Jness. The modern business man cannot afford to wait for people to come to his store to find out what lie has on his shelves; instead he goes after customers through the medium of attractive and truthful ads so that at a glance one may j learn, what he can buy. And this for the simple reason that more than ever people read newspapers to find what is going on In the world and I what business men are doing/ ? Or angeburg Times and Democrat. i Col. Teddy Is again in tho lime light. A Michigan editor accuses him of being a boozer and 'the Colo nel has brought suit to recover dam j ages to the amount of $10,000. . - ? - The South Carolina Railroad Cotn ! mission voices its disapproval of the j Pullman Sleeping Car Co., being al I lowed to boM* tickets permitting col ored peoplo to use sleepers in which | berths are used by white people.

UNEQUALED PRICES BURNS & BARRETT CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA To the ItukiflVM Mr ii, M?rdiWiUl mmtl j'urt1u?Mri<. Thin letter Im to you *? a mem ber of the liuhlntHH Men's Aim elation of Camden and the trading public. '/ The llboV4 du'iii louf?l association ha# boon fonnoil io work together In every way to bring about a better collecting syatem than we now have. Thh* t-liaii ge ha# been needed for a long lime, and the business men have ul ia#t gotten together ^ and will now Rtnnd [18 one man. The plan of thia association is to cauae every member of ita body to know who la paying their obliga tions and who is not paying, In thiH way tho man that don't pay his bills will soon have to pay cash for ? ill i hat lie gets. "^Ve firmly believo titat the /future progress of Camden, in a large mea sure Ilea with the man (hat is living on a caab baais, and not the one that is living beyond his meanw, and not paying Ida debts, and for thin reason w? appeal to the good peo ple of our town and county to aid uh in thiH work. Our good* are bought on 10 to CO days time, and when tho bills are due, they must be paid. We mention this that you may know why we inuat insist on your account being paid moro promptly. When you buy a bill of goods, and havo i aa mo charged, speelfy tho time you wish to havo before thia bill be come# due, and we are sure you can get your terms, but when it is due, be a man of your word and pay saint*. If not ail, do the bes-t yon can, and in this way show that you want to do tho right thing. If ypu do thia, we predict a brighter fu ture for Camden. The Business Men's Association., It Ik announced that Senator Hoke Smith in trying to have the pay of rural mall carriers Increased to $1,400 per vear, and we hope the Senator's efforts In this direction will bear fruit, for at their present salary .flu; carries have some \dlf fl eulty in making both ends iriboj. When the fact that they have to maintain two horses is taken into Consideration, it must be admitted tht the men are very poorly paid for the Bervlee they render. It woud be interesting to know vj-lth just whom the fault lies in I our Governor's fight with the city and county authorities of Columbia [ in the trouble growing out of the city's .case for auto speeding against his colored chauffeur. South Should (ir?w Livestock. With its long growing season and abundance of feed crops, the South should be able to grow the beef and butter, the bacon and lard it now buys, for just as iitVle as any other section can produce theiu. And It can do -this very thing.. Hero is some of the testimony ::s it re lates to pork production: Carefully conducted experiments at the Alabama Experiment Station show that an acre of soy ?beans will produce pork worth from $25.84 to >$30.13. Hogs fed on corn and soy bean pasture made gains which cost i' from $2.59 to $3.30 per hundred pounds, charging everything against thorn. These results represent/ the work of Three years. In Louisiana an acre of sweet potatoes produced pork worth $7 3.50. Farmers who have kept close account of the i^ost of their pork report this cost, as low, in numerous instances, as 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 cents a pound. Of course, the average fanner does not pro duce pork this cheaply. These men utilized to the full extent the pas ture crops- cow peas, soy benns, po* nuts, sweet potatoes, etc. ? which the pigs could harvest for them Selves. In what other section can pork be produced at hs small cost to the farmer? ? American Review. JACKSON (iUADlOl) SCHOOL. j ('losing oxorcises of Jackson Grad [ ed School were held In the building of that worthy colored institution on Wednesday of last week. That the I school Is proving a material factor in the uplift of the colored people jot' this locality was proven by the interest, manifested in its work durr ing the term just closed and the excellence of the program obsorv-.. ed in the closing exercises. Its teachers under the leadership of C. C. bowery have done com mendable work and deserve the thanks of both races and all classes. J They are -teaching their young charges to attain a higher station in life; instilling in t' eir minds that If they are to be respected they must make honesty and moral ity, Industry and thrift their nlin In life. No greater or more worthy labor is being performed by any people than that done by jhe con scientious colored school teachers of the South In FheTr efforts to load their raco out of the darkness that has so long handicapped its pro gress. Their efforts in this direc tion will receive the hearty co-op eration of all right-thinking white people. <3 If the proposition does not ring true we will not accept it for advertising. t <3 If a want ad reader has been misused by an advertiser in this page, we want to know about it.
