We heif loca l llie attention of the autborii os ug;iin 10 the cros*lng of Southern railroad, near the brick yard and Hje one near th?- d-pot creek, just this side of the store of W. K. De Louche. We most earnestly request Uiut the proper authorities notify the railroad and have these crossings at tended to at once, as we deem them in a very dangerous condition The crossing near depot creek Is entirely 100 short, and should be made longer We a#ain emphasize recommenda tion of last sessions'# court, that the various trustees be more care'ul in the future In hiring of teachers for the coming school year, as we have had so much complaint from these sources, and see that the teachers for this com ? ox sessiou put In more of their time In tlx* school room, and not spend so much of their time, for which they are paid in indleness. v\ o would U):go those In authority to look more closely after the sale of blind tiger liquor. It comes to us from all quarters that the country is Hooded with the nuisance of the sale of blind tiger. This we th'nk can be remedied to some extent by the oflicers whose duty it is look after such thiols, to gel busy We would recommend to our del* gation that we have for Ker shaw County, a rural policeman. We are of the opinion that such a thing w >uld bo instrumental in doing away with the illegal sale of liquor, -<.nd further preserving good order through the community . We have reports from all sections that the roads and bridges are in a fairly good condition, and that the public buildings are all in good shape and well kept, with the exc?ptlon of some lltlte repairs at the county jail, which is necesRary, but we have the assurance from the proper authorities that this will bo attended to at once. We will bo prepared to make a full and complete report on the county officials' books at the next term of court. ?v a desire to express our gratitude to the oflicers of the court and Pis Honor for kindnesses shown us at this term of court, of which we most re spectfully submit. W. C. Seatfle, Foreman. GIRLS TOMATO CLUB. One of the Ten Commanuments of Agriculture laid down by the late Dr. Seaman A Knapp was this: "Pro duce all the feed required for men and anlmalp on the farm " As a rule the | average farmer does not do this; he | does Dot seem to know and ta e ad vnutage of the possibilities of his --ill. HucfpR'-ful a ifri culture will nev er be realized in the Southern States un i: tho step oi prouuuiug an home sup oles is fully established ' It is not just necessary to produce them, but they must be preserved for winter use. The Demonstration work seeks to aid the f wooer's whole1 family. The Corn Clubs were organized to attract the boys to ihe farm and the advan tages of better farming. After this the Tomato Club was organized to make rural life more attractive to the girls It was decided that one-tenth of nn aoro would be enough for a good gar Men, aud that the girls should special ize with tho tomato as the boys have aoue wth the corn. Kach girl though is urged to can all surp. us fruits and vegetables. In 1012 more than 2,1,000 trlrls were enrolled in the Tomato Clu?-s in twelve -nates. Many of them put up <>00 qt. can? of tomatoes from their gardens, besides ketchup, pickles, ?how chow, preserves and other products. Some of lhe?e girls had a net profit ragging from 130 to $75 on their gardens. So it is readily seen that through the club work the rural families are en couraged to provide purer and better food at a lower cost, and thus use the surplus and otherwise waste of th<> gat den and orchard; an interest and co operation is stimulated among the members of the family in the home; also a way Is provided by which tho girla^rnav earn money at hom>-, and at the same time gel the education neces sary for the ideal farm life The Club work Is growing Irager and mora Influential each year. In Kershaw County alone about 150 girls enrolled themselves as members. A large number of these girls had to withdraw their names for various roHSonB, but wo still hnvH a record b saklng number who are doing mo? wxcollent work it would make those of you, who are least interested In farming, feel good to see some of the fine plots of tomato* which are cultl tlvated and oared for by our indus trious girls of the couuty. If those fifty or seventy-live girls will always ke?n before them Colonel K. J. W at s n's inotto that "Failure crimes in oant's, and success comes In cans," they will alwaj'B succeed In the Toma to Club. By rough estimation It is found that there are about twenty or twenty five thousand dollar* paid out from Ker shaw County oaoh year for canned goods, which oould be raised and can ned in this county. Why not pur chase the pure and fresh goods can ned by tl e club girls, and thus keep a large part of this money here at home? The girl* oan by Government instructions and they put on the mar ket absolutely pur? goods, which fnot can not always be said of some of the txjautlfu II I y labeled cans sent out from Northern market*.

The citv presents such a neat, tidy c .phi) appearance thai It surely is in K>epin? with its reputation a? "the prettiest city in the Southland " You can scarcely realize its effect upon a stranger the tirst time he sees tho place When waste oaoers and filth are in the streets and behind stores and in the back yards it gives a town a "run down appearance" to say the least. I was glad to see more attention paid to the cultivation of flowers. I am rem indeed of what a man said who sold Bibles in rural districts: "I sel doni or noier lose money on a farm er who has gumption to raise flowers around his premises " Kach community or city has a char uctrr of its own a> has an individual and tlut character is reflected by the little things of life. Surely Camden is improving. I congratulate the Civic League on the good work it is doing and be speak for Its members greater things in the future You have only begun.

Now the canning season is here, why not try a "Home CannerV" You will be pleased with the results, and gratified to know how your edibles are canned. By canning the surplus vegetables and fruits, you c?n have. your pantry full for winter and spring use, and some to spare which can ne readily disposed of at a good price, and in thin way a woman can earn muoh of her spending money without neglect ing her household duties, and In dulge in many luxuries some would have to duny themselves and family We do not know the possibility of our usefulness until we apply our efforts In a way that will be a shining evidence of proctical knowledge.

The picture a^ovc shows the audience assembled there to witness the interesting exer.i>ts> of raising the flag and presenting the Bible. The Junior Order recognizes the landing upon our shores of the ig i > rant, the vicious and the lawies* of the old world as a constant menace 10 our institutio s, but announces a welcome to all immigrants wno come hit ? er seeking to better their conditions and intending to become earnest and law-abiding citizens. It affirms its devotion to the public school system and declares it to be a fundamental principle of free government that every citizen possess tlu liberty of worshipping God according to the dictates of his conscience. It recognizes the Bible as the foundat.on of both moral and civil la>\. and believes that it should be read in our public schools, not to teacr sectarianism, but for its moral excellence. It would place a flag upon and a Bible within every public school house of our land, thit all might learn these to be a bea:on light in every storm which may threaten our destruction. This fraternal organization has accomplished a great deal in relieving the distressed and promoting good fellowship wherever a council is or ganized. It is deserving of the loyal support of all those who love man kind and desire to see the best interest of the nat.on promoted. SECRETARY DuBOSE TELLS OP THINGS ACCOMPLISHED BY THIS IMPORTANT BODY. What hao the Chamber of Com merce accomplished? This question Is frequently asked by some that are not members or have not kept in touch with the workings of this organization. A careful review of the proceedings of this body since Its organization in March, 1910/ will prove to the most skeptical citizen that^ It is an organisation that should~^4)e kept up. As will be shown it has accomplished some things it undertook to do, and thru its influence made possible other things that have been of material benefit to this community. The Chamber of Commerce has been working without any capital. Its revenuo being entirely dependent on the dues collected from lta mem bers. The officers and directors have kept this organization togeth er, belloving that It has, and will oontlnue to be of service in the development of our city and coun ty. Thru the Chamber of Commerce all matters pertaining to the pub lic welfare are brought before the poople and openly discussed at our meetings and means doviscd for consummating many things that uro for the public good.

THE KERSHAW GUARDS We are glad to note th it the W Department has allowed the St.c Militia to remain a part of the N.? tional Guard as our Governoi h s acceded to their very reason^ ?. demands and that the Ke?Mi ?> Guards will enjoy their usual o i - ing. The militia is nowhere n r necessary and nowhere inspiies better order than in the South. Those who reaJ the Ku Klux sto ry in this issue must realize tli t the greatest protection to our wo n en and children in town and coun?i\ is the Home Guard, an orgamzt .1 body of law andorjer. The original "Kershaw Guard" came into existence for this purpo-e in 1877 when Gov. Hampton direc ed Col. H. B. Cantey to form a r > - iment. Col. Cantey was the first commander of the regiment Knov. n as the Kershaw Guard, and it did valuable work in preserving peace and order in merely assembling whenever there was any mass meeting of negries, and remaining in the vicinity of the place. With the return of the undisputed rule of the white man, the necessity of a regiment had passed, and they merely remained a company in Camden known under the same name. Its successive officers were Col. fc? , B, Cantey, S. L. Lang, and Wm. M Shannon. In the eighties this company ceased to exist. When the war spirit engendered by the Spanish-Ameri an War swept over our county, the 'Kershaw Guards" were brought into life at a meeting held June 19th, 1898. M. L. Sm.th I was elected Captain. He was sue- I ceeded by S. C. Zemp, win held ? the office until pr moted in 1905, since then E. C. von Tresckow uas been in c mmand. This organiza tion has always beer, a credit H> its town and community, and is known as one of the best military compa nies in the State Militia. The an nual reports of the State and United Sfates inspecting officers prove this very conclusively. " ? lie company, by its united and unself^h efforts and help of a num ber of citizens, has auiuired a val uable site and armory in the heart of the town. I Caution for Club Girls Ilr c?

Proportions of I,ime and milestone to Use. The standareo liordeaux mixture is made up by using 4 pounds .Hipper sulphate and 4 pounds quick lime to 50 gal Ions of water.

For spraying peaches, plums, cuoumbera, melons and other tender plants, while in foliage, a weaker mixture Is vised. For this purpose 2 pounds bluestone, 3 pounds lime to 50 gallons water has j/lvon the best re sults. The Mixing Process.

I Photographs ad we all know arc of almost priceless value. 8uppose we have lost some v^ry dear loved ' one or friend and have Just one ! good photograph of them. How we [ treasure that one picture. No price I under reasonable circumstances ? could buy it. Why? Because It Is the one pre clous memento by which we can re I call every feature of theirs. How many are the times when I have had customers bring In Borne little faded plngpong or scarred tin type aB the only likeness of some one they'd lost, with the hope of having It copied and a nice photo made from It. And even worse. Numbers of mothers bring their babies in with the sad story that thoy've lost one a few monthB or perhaps a year be fore and never did get a picture at all of It, and how they'd give al inoBt anything for just one good pic ture. Now Isn't this one of the many Instances where regret la th? result of putting off until tomorrow what should be done today? Perhaps It might bo of interest tf some to know that up until seventy three years ago there had been no photographic portraits made In thib country.
