Sanders, Secty., ( ham byr of Commerce, Camden, S. C. Dear Sir: When I first visited ('amdi'ii four jtiMfrf "go, you were <>\ assistance to me in sovcral ways and I recall with appreciation your COUr , u-sy and the advantage* ?>f the *er? vice rendered l?y the Chamber of I'omniei'ce, Other visitors have told me that they have been similarly helped to know the possibilities of . Camden and its surroundings, 1 cannot go away without wishing you continued success in. your work. It must be difficult. i Since my first visit, I notice changes f(?r the better in Camden, (jood roads (for automobiles, while they discourage the use of horses In town, certainly prevent dust ami n\ake the increasing use of motors more logical. Many old houses have been-put.in order and beautified and the gardens show more extensive ex primenting with lawns and hitherto untried I lowering things. Trees are better guarded, and more are being planted. Shops ore groater in num her and carry better stocks. But the greatest pleasure that your town brings to me, as a northern visitor, is its unspoiled American character. In New Yorkf? we are so overborne by (foreign way* and tongues and the jrreat distances be tween our friends that it is no Ion-, ger a characteristic American place. Its confusion is so great that we find in the peace of Camden a calming relief. ~ T \v<vnder It' Camden people fxilly appreciate the advantages for their children in having refined companion ship and a chance for out of door fun without association with dissi pa ted or over-luxurious people? If I ha<l young chUdren to bring up, 1 should choose Camden for them with its good climate most of the year, with churchea and schools thnt.l can give individual attention in. train ing, and - practically no foreign ..influ ences to counteract attempts to make good citizens of the young people., 1 have f>een very .much interested in seeing the community market which must arouse eo-opi ration be iween the towns people and those of the remote plantations. It has. also, been my privilege to se ? the work of oi>?* of your county demonstration agon*s which seem, to me, of great v .title. Hoping that your work will r< ceiv. encouraging co-operation . from town people and visitors, I am, \ el y .sineerel.v your?., ci-;i{na";i>i: s.

WaUh at the cemetery Satur day afternoon, Mr. Thos. V. Walsh, his broiher, remained with him. Be tween four and five o'clock Mr. Walsh got out of bed and went into the bath room, where ho remained a few min utes and then returned to his btsl. A few moments later Mr. Thomas Walsh observed that something was wrong with his brobber. An effort was made to obtain a physician at once. Dr. II. L. Shaw was the first to he reaohed by telephone and when he. arrived Mr. Walsh was in a dying condition and expired almost imme diately. A bottle containing a rem nant of carbolic aoid was found in the hath room, and there were con vincing evidences that Mr. Walsh had swallowed a large dose of the acid, ., The deceased was sixty-four years old, a native of Sumter, a son of the late Co). Thomas V.
