Mills from city limits, coy era the ground and leaven little more to be aaid in favor; of thrtt propo sition. The situation is unusual. The Wat eree Mills is one of a group of mills organized un der the leadership of Mr. Kendall. He has established a hand some. residence' in Camden and nat urally has a personal interest in the community. Large extensions and improvements of some one of the group of mills have been projected undo* his control. He has stated that lor trcasons largely sentimental, he prefers to apply these enlargements to the Waterwi Mill, rathtjr than to one of his other Southern mills. These assertions he has publicly made to city council), and in nowise derived by us from any private channels. We thus have an opportunity not likply to occur again, of great in dustrial progress, which we have been talking about for fifty years. We j cannot explain to ourselves the oppo-1 'sition to this proposal on the part of some of our citizens except on the theory that they are distrustful and believe that the proposal is too lib eral towards the city to be honest and that there must be some trick in it. These friends of ours who differ from us we certainly do not wish to embitter by any unpleasant or hurtful remarks. We would be glad to con vince them to our views, and remind them that it is just as reasonable at times to release some parts of a city from corporate limits, as to ex tend these limits and impose the city 'burden upon outsiders. Arc we never t?? move or change or progress? Are we finished in growth? Is our only method of growing hereafter to be fin extension of the city limits? Rais ing ourselves in this way by our own boot straps. Suppose we ex tended Camden ten miles in each direttion. what a wonderful progres sive sti p as large as New York? with fine hunting grounds in the limits. It must not be forgotten that the slight proposed reduction of the city area means- a large industrial cx-^ tension. For barren land, swamp and water while giving up no city reve nue, we stand the only reasonable chance of the greatest business ex pansion in our history. About the Mill Exclusion Kditor Camden Chronicle: An ar ticle in the esteemed Wateree Mes senger opposing exclusion of the Wateree Mill property, from city limits objects on the ground that af ter tho city bonds mature in 1964, forty years hereafter, the mill will cease to contribute to city taxes and the city will be left alone to pay the bond*. The writer of the article mentioned forgets that the constitu tion requires that a sinking fund be maintained sufficient for the payment of all city bonds at maturity. Hence if the city authorities observe the law the bond debt of the city now existing will not need to be refunded at the time of maturity. It is to the interest and sinking fund of these bonds that the Wateree Mill under the agreement with the city will con tinue io contribute during the next forty years, oven I.ou^l voted out of the ci?\ limit < 'it '/en.

'Why They're Interested Governor- McLeod, back from the conference of governors held in Jack sonville, Fla., gives out the interest ing information that a number of gov ernors wanted to know more about South Carolina's tax system, .saying that the present system of taxation in effect in South Carolina has at tracted considerable attention throughout the nation, and requests have-been made by various governors for information in regard to it.

Hailc entertained Miss Swiff with coon hunt, 'the services of Capt. |{:iy and his fdmoui doff* wo ft aecflred and a number of entnusiastic and en ergetic hunters followed the hounds until a late hour, Someone has said that the only trouble with coon hunt ing is that there in always some body in the crowd who wants to hunt coon*, but Mr. Haile's party was unspoiled by any such killjoy and the "varmints" were hunted ,in true sporting fashion. On Sunday evening Mr. and Mr.*. Henry Hoykin entertained at a buf fet supper in honor of Miss Swift, After supper the entire party ad journed to the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Hay for the usual Sunday even ing musicale. Dr. and Mrs. J. T. Hay, Miss Lesa Hoykin and Miss Margaret Hay Boy kin spent several days in Spartanburg last week.

Lewis of Clemson college, was present, at the request of Mr. Hast, Clarenllbn county demonstration agent, to grade the nuts. Clarendon county soil is well fitted for pecan production, and an increased acreage in the groves is planned, the farmers feeling assur ed there is money in the growing of pecans. The Price of Idleness In the gray dawn of a winter morn ing King and Harrell paid with their lives the penalty for a horrible and atrocious crime. Yet their disgraceful end had its real cause much further back than the murder of Major McLeary, and the fact is worthy of some reflec tion on the part of many of our yourtg men. Roaming around the country without good purpose or design, King and Harrell fell an easy victim to a temptation to hold up a stranger and rob him. They were in a position to fall to such a temptation because they had no definite task, their minds were impelled by no settled purpose; they were mere idlers in a world that heeds definite aims, productiVe effort and positive goals. From childhood many of us have heard that the idle mind is the "devil's workshop. When a man settles him self down to definite purpose and a definite work, he erects it) his mind a very effective barrier against the suggestions of evil.

Temptations atiall the human being in his idle hours, and even in leisure I on ,, the consciousness of a definite goal In life is a bulwark against the voice of evil. For crime has another phase aside frt>m its moral wrongness. To the healthy, normal human heing, crime is bad sportsmanship. It is taking an unfair advantage in the game of life. It is abhorrent to the man or woman who puts all his powers, men tal and physical, in the great effort to oyercome the handicaps and the obstacles of life and win its rewards by the development and employment 'of his talents. Crime is cheating at the game. It is a device of trickery resorted to by those who are unwill ing to put forth the effort necessary to play according to the rules. Habitual idleness and lack of any sort of definite purpose in life, opens the mind to a consideration of crime. Such idleness always exacts its price in human affairs. It may not lead one to the electric chair, nor yet to a prison cell, but in the end it robs him of all the real happiness that is to be found on this planet. A human soul, wandering aimlessly through life, without definite goal, without the restraint of a purpose beyond the present hour, tossed hither and yon by every breeze of w<him, impulse and fancy, is indeed a pa thetic sight. And yet there are many such, who lack ,the initiative and will to center the energies of their being Upon the accomplishment of any use ful purpose Whatever. It is such people that chase the butterflies of today's supposed pleasures, such peo ple, who, even if they do not fall a prey to criminal temptations, finally pass out of life unhonorqd and un sung, having added nothing to the world that kept them," and having tasted not of the abiding satisfactions and joys that result from purposeful achievement and constructive action. There is no normal man or woman who cannot turn his life's energies into purposeful activity. Every force of nature impels one to such a course, and thoso who refuse because of sheer laziness to permit themselves to be come a useful particle of this scheme of existence are to be sincerely pitied but they have no one to blame but themselves.?Greenville News.
