" QQciof our friends to work with

natter of paid subscriptions in
Kershaw county. We want, to
say, too. that this offer is not for
ajnonth, or six months, but for
all time; or, as long as "The
People" is in the field. Prom
time to time the list will be added
^ to as the desire for different ar
Ifejfes becomes manifest among
fl^club raisers.
? : Aallnvltation.
' This being a Northern tourists
retort, we cordially invite our
Northern visitors to send in short
articles for publication in "The
People*' of their impressions
and experiences while in the
land of the Sunny South. Their
friends who are not so fortunate
as to find it convenient to visit
us will find pleasure in enjoy ing~
In printer's ink their friend's
pleasures. The editor has mot
many of our northern visit
ors, but there are many whom
he has not met, ana we extend
> to them the invitation to call at
their earliest convenience and
see "The People. "
"We are Not a Flgliter
Ye editor has acquired the
somewhat unenviable reputation
of beiog of a pugnacious nature,
especially with his pen, and pre
dictions are freely made that he
will be in a wordy or fistic en
counter with some one within a
month. To all these prophets
we want to say that, the editor
."Of this journal as an editor, and
the same man as a private indi
vidual, are two and distinct par
ties, ana that as editor he will
always endeavor to observe the
amenities that are not only pro
- per but necessary to the conduct
ot a would-be successful news
paper.
Auditor va. Editor.
We want to inform the people
that we are not an auditor, but
an editor, and tax returns are
not taken at this office. It is
not every time that a man is just
what he ought to be, which fact,
in this instance, may prove
to be an unmixed blessing. If
the editor of this paper had
been elected auditor of the coun
ty, as his ill-directed ambition
directed, the people would have
lost his more or less valuable
services the editor of "The
People. "
In connection with the above
squib, Mr. J. M. LeGrand, our
popular jeweler and watch re
pair expert, requests us to say
that his office is closed for the
collection of taxes. If you owe
the State and county anything,
you are advised to call at the
office of Treasurer Hough on the
same row. In other words, when
you call on Mr. Legrand you are
in the right chuch, but the wrong
pew.
Our Dispenser Kcslfpis.
Capt. J. J. Bell has resigned
his position as dispenser at Cam
den. This is a distinct loss, not
only to the community, but to
the State institution, as Captain
Bell was recognized as one of, if
noc the, most competent dispen
sers in the employ of the State.
This resignation should mark
the beginning of a movement to
have the election of all officers
connected with the county dis
pensaries elected by the people.
While the members of tho local
board are generally acceptable
to the public at largo, the people
are the proper ones to whom
their selection Should be left,
and it is not to the board that
the eleotion of dispensers and
their clerks should be delegated
We hope that in tho successor to
Capt. Bell the board will make
a happy selection, but we think
it would be a good thing for all
the people if th<> way was clear
to k suggest ion by them of tlieir
for the place.
The Ann of Nettles and Wat
kins has been dissolved by mu
tual consent, Mr. H. L. Watkins
having purchased the interest of
Mr. Mettles ip the firm. See the
ad. of Mr. Wattffns in this' and
subsequent issues. He requests
a share of your patronage in the
Parlor Meat Market business, as
well as in his grocery depart
ment. > - ?' '.*
Job Work.
It isn't every job office that
can get out work that pleases all
the people, but we have it. We
have the finest Job printer in the
State of ^outh Carolina, and any
Job" that passes through his
hands gives satisfaction to all.
Call at our place on the corner
of DeKalb and Broad Streets
and be convinced. We retain
samples of all our work, and if
you donH agree with us that
"The People's*^ job office is
"IT," then don't give us your
work.
Sudden Death.
Mr. Ed. Mills, a carpenter,
and for a number of years a resi
dent of this city, died suddenly
at his residence near the 8outh- 1
ern depot, on Friaay, the 29th
ult.. Pneumonia was the cause
of death. Mr. Mills leaves a
wife and three or four small
children who, we are informed,
are in an almost destitute condi
tion. If this is the case, this
family is an object for true cuar
ity, and we hope that their case
will be promptly taken up. In
cases of necessity, he who gives
quickly, gives twice.
A Correction. "
It has been intimated that
others are financially interested
in "The People," and we want
to say just here, and now, thu
' Schrock is sole owner of
the enterprise. At the outset
we attempted to interest others
m it, but as they did not feel in
terested, we took th<) bit in our
mouth, and are going it alone.
We are already meeting with
flattering success, but we can do
still better, and will do so as
time rolls along. "The People" I
will stand by the people. It is
our purpose to make each issue
better than the last, so if you
want to keep up with the times
subscribe for "The People." |
Charity.
Tfte old expression is that
"charity begins at home," and
this is, in a sense, true, but in
some instances we think that
every one should strain a point
in order to assist those whom
they kuow to be in more dire
need than themselves. One of
these instances is the case of the
family of Ed. Mills. The editor
doesn't pretend to undje good
ness, but ho thinks that this fam
should -be assisted as fully as
the pockets of the charitable
public will stretch. "Ho that
nel peth the poor lendeth to the
Lord." We don't know whothor
3 is good gospel rendering, or
not, but we do know that if it
isn t in the Bible, it ought to be.
Country Correspondence.
We cordially invite corre
spondence from our country
friends, "The Peoplo" will be
made, as its name indicates, the
organ of the people, but it will
fail in its mission unless our
country friends back us up. No
country paper can possibly
reach its full measuro of useful
ness unless it is backed up by
the people of tho county who
can write. Please "let us have
your communications not later
than noon of every Wednesday.
This rule, if observed, will gen
erally insure their publication
on the next day. Send us all the
nows. What we can't mako use
of, or find space tor, will be cut
out, but wo promise to do as lit
tle scizzor work as possiblo.
J Whon you are in need of any
, thing, from a shoe string to a
tan yard, consult our advertising
columns before purchasing. Our
people are offering bargains in
very thing to eat or wear.

Fire Alarm.
The alarm, of Are on Tacidijr nixHl
created considerable exoKCment, aa it
continued eo lonf. ft Untied out to
be merely the burning of a hay field
near Halaall Row, or Chinch Alley, in
the lower part of the city.
Death.
Mr. and Xra. J. B. Babon hare our
sympathy In the low of their baby
which happened on Sunday night. The
causs of death was pneumonia These
deaths are especially sad as the victims
are just growing into the most inter
esting period of their existence.
Court N?w?.
lathe hurry and worry pf prepara
tion for the iss-e of obr first paper, we
have not hsd leisure to pay attention
to Court proceedings. As soon as we
get this issue off, ws hope to give a
general digest in that line of news.
This is one of the instances in which
we would have beeo-glad ot the ser
vices of of those friends who know sll
a boat the running of a newspaper.
Besr with us, friends. We will learn,
sfter a tims, and then we expect to
give you a paper worth reading.

Temperance Lectnre.
Mrs. Ada \V. Unrugh, national or
ganizer and Lecturer for the W. C. T.
U., appeared before a. fair siced au
dit- nee id the Baptist Churoh'Toesday
night. 'Her words for the protection
of the boy and the establishment of
true manhood, the foundation for tl.e
home, were well chosen, and received
4-lose attention. Her dispossl of the
dispenssry question wss original, and
very forceful, and should this talented
lady ever return to Camden we be
speak for her a larger hearing.
The Penn Mutant.
Special attention is called to tne ad.
of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Companv wlnn* appears in another
column. Tins compmiy has au envia
ble reputation for the prompt payment
of claims sud large results from Invest
ments. The esse of the late Mr. E. C.
Zemp is gi\en as an Instance. Mr.
Zemp carried a policy for $8,tXM>, had
paid in premiums at time of death,
$1,408.62; received in dividends, $233.
80, and the full amount of tho policy
wss promptly pni<Ho his benrfhilarics.
It will be noted that the net profit on
this investment was $1,740.23.
Our School Composit ions.
The publication of school composi
tions will be a prominent feature in
our colutnrs. The editor wss so un
fortunate as to be enabled to seoure
only a limited education, and feels the
keenest interest in assisting those who
are mere fortunate than himself. The
publication ot. these compositions by
ourselves and our contemporaries if
distinctly a step in tlist direotion.
The sothors of them sre Incited to
greater effort ; the parents are pleaded
to see -the name of their children in
print, and enoourage them to renewed
elTorts to attain superiority in that
line over their fellow scholars. The
teacher himself feels a greater degree
of pride when one of his scholars has
gotten off a particularly bright plcce
of composition. There are a number
of public schools hi the county whose
teachers, we are Informed, require
their pupils td write compositions,
and we wish to say they also will be
welcomed.

and job departments of 'the
paper.
The White Knight Cigar is strictly
a first-class smoke. For sale at the

Cotton on this date (Jan. 28th)
ia worth on our market 15? to 16
cents. Many believe that it will
reach the 20 cents mark by
March 1st. The editor is neither
a prophet nor the son of a pro
phet, but as far back as the 1st
of October he predicted 15 cents
cotton V y February 1st..

PERSONAL
Visa Jennie Child*, who has lieen
visiting Mrs. F. M. Zemp, returned to
her home at Columbia on yesterday.
We were pleased to have Gen. J. W.
Floyd with us on Isst Monday. The
General was as entertaining as usual,
and expressed his sincere desire for
tbe suocess if "The People."
That old veteran, MaJ. J. W. Butler,
of the Blaney section, paid us a v'slt
yesterday. Maj. Butler is a good friend
to the editor, and promises us valuable
assistance in his c oirinunity.
Miss Daisy Young, a alst?r-in-lsw of
the editor, who hvs been visiting our
family, has returned to her home at
Lancaster, her visit to us being short
ened because of the illness of her
mother.
Mr. W. C. Saunders, of Balti
more, brightened our existence
for a few minutes last week. He
agrees with us that Upton, N.
C., is os big as Baltimore. The
joke is on Saunders.
Mr. John Ambler, the shoe
drummer, of Baltimore, paid our
sanctum a visit on last Satur*
day. Mr. Ambler is an old and
valued .friend, and a paid sub
scription to "The People" will
go to his credit during 1004.
Mr. R. J. McDamel, traveling
representative of the Fay-Sholos
and Remington typewriter, paid
us a pleasant call last week.
Mc. is enthusiastic over "T1 e
People" and its prospects, and
we are looking daily for an ad.
from the firm he represents.
We were glad to have the
Hon. John G. Richards with us
a few days ago. Mr. Richards
will always meet with a cordial
reception in the office of "The
People," as he is a genial gen
tleman, and one from whom the
editor always learns something.
{
Dr. Masrow, an oye specialist oi
national note, called on us a day
or so ago. He will remain only a
few days, so he says, but we
think that after tafting of the
hospitality of our people, ana
enjoying our climate those few
days he will conclude to prolong
his stay.
Our friend, Mr. J. F. Bateman.
called this week and had his
name enrolled under the banner
of "The People.' * Ho has pro
mised us also an ad. from the
State dispensary. It secfbs that
the busines of that firm is falling
off, and nothing but an ad in our
paper can possibly save it from
going into bankruptcy.
Mr. John Moonyhan, of Elli
ott's, 8. C. , called a few days ago
and had his name inserted m a
prominent place on our subscrip
tion list. Mr. Moonyhan was a
member of Company D, 15th S.
O. Regiment during the late war
between the States, the 1st Lieu
tenant of which happened to be
the father of the editor, and it
was more through love for the
father than for the son that "The
People" numbers him among its
mos valued subscribers.
