Chamber of Commerce Note# jKnow Your Town. . When lfaul proudly stated, "I ?m a citizen of no mean city," ho portray ed that pride in on?'? homo town which .should be in every man's heart. To all the citizen# of Camden there is a Igkmoii in this early boast of citizen ship. I#et u? ask ourselves if we in our heart* can uay, "Wo art? proud of our town, we be.lioVe in it, wo are citizens of no mean city." Thin pride in one's city must have r^iiue real foundation- It cannot exist on the booster spirit and buncombe and hot an. Vou must know your town, know in your own heart it in a good town, and why it is, and if o up is not familiar with the resources of hit? city he cannot really know. These thing* ?l,: ltl4" very well springs of Chamber of Commerce work, and your Chamber of Commerce will en deavor to tell tho people regularly what we have in Camden and what is going on. Take ^dvantago of the. information the Chamber of Com merce has, ask for it, usO it and know your town, for as a city thinks in its own heart, so it is. There is a present and growing need in Camden for an organization for the development of real' estate, and the building of homes. Within the past few weeks several chances to locate new citizens have been lost when no suitable home could be bought. A company that owned suffi cient city real estate and had the cap ital to work with could have buijt ami Hold homes to these people. In addi tion to being the means of bringing people to our town, an organization of this kind would till a long felt need of our own people, and would be a profit able investment for the stockholders. The altitude of Camden is 250 feet | above sea level, with mean tempera tures as follows: Spring (U.UO; Sum mer, Fall G'J.'Jfi; Winter 1 0. Camden has forty-two miles of streets, maintained and kept up by the St rout Department. Nine miles of the e .streets are included in the pav i' piogram just being completed. We ,*iie informed by our tire insur ance agencies that Camden has the third best rate in South 'Carolina for protection against lire. It i* a sec ond class insurance city. \V )i\ Is a Chamber of Commerce? Men who have never been identified wit!) a chamber of commerce some limes have queer ideas of just what such an organisation is, and why a city needs it. A chamber <>f iummrlve is ;i con cert of the civil-, agricultural, com mercial and industrial forces of a community. It serves somewhat as does a choir in. a church, an orchestra at an opera - to assemble and unify and mold into one force the individual energies of its members, and use them all foi the common good. One man or <>n." firm can .sometimes do a great deal of good; but when banded with others of like intent, even if of lesser ?sttcngth. his power, to i good is in lii.uely greater. \ chambor ?.? t' itimiiHTif is nut a p?> lii.?al organization and should m-voi take : ides on any purely politir'd I', is not a Iodpo, no* n Hub, !! ?'. a met society.

When the Iiland silver dollar, now almost extinct east of the Mississippi wan a? common as the paper dolllar of today, the coin was admired for the strikjngly beautiful profile which the designer gave to the head of the (iod dess of Liberty. Thousand# of persons through whose hands the coin passed have asked who the model was. The rather indefinite answer was, a Phila delphia schoolmistress. The profile was that of Miss Anna W. Williams, who on Thursday retired after forty years of service in the Philadelphia schools. The IMand dollar was f?r..t coined forty-six years ago. There were thou sands of applicants who offered their ^eads as models for the goddess. Georgo Morgan, the designer, had ap parently little difficulty in making a selection, for he announced Miss Wil liams' head the most perfect he had tfvrr ^renT-"- It was not ntcessary^for him to idealize his subject. The coin bore the portrait of the model. Amer icans have frequently objected to the figures or symbols on their coins, but in the Iiland dollar they approved the designer's work. 0. Henry wrote a story of a miser who married a woman whose profile duplicated one he had seen on a coin, so that when he looked at her he could always have visions of the wealth which her head represented. Hut could he ever have visioned such a silver horde as carried Miss Williams' face? More than 500,000,01)0 silver dollars were minted before 1914, when the supply of metal purchased under the silver act was exhausted. In June, ll>20j the .coinage' of the silver dollar was resumed to replace the l!70,000, O0() which were sold to Kurope during the' war. Here was wealth Surpassing even a miser's dream. Miss Williams had another claim to distinction beyond that which came to her through. the Bland silver dol lar. She achieved a success in kinder garten work that brought her recog-r. nition beyond the city to which she gave forty years of service. ? New York 1 1. -raid. (JEN KRAI.
