' -J Ei.t?red as Second Class Matter at thj :4 I'ostoffice at Camden, S. C. ENTERING THE SECOND WEEK The evangelistic campaign, which opened here on the 10th of August, hn3 now entered upon the ?econd woek. Good results have already been achieved and the indications now | are that before the close of the meet ing much la. ling good will be ac- j complished. We feel a deep inter- j est in the success of the work now j being done, and are gratified that the services are being well attended, | euch succeeding meeting showing an increase. , There is no business that can be engaged in greater than the salvation of eouls, and thiB is the . purpose of the evangelistic cam paign now in progress^ It is hoped and urged that every one who can possibly do so will avail themselves of the rarp privilege they now have. Many from the rural districts are at: tending, and this is gratifying. Dele gations from Lanetffcter have attend ed several of the service's including the opening service. The people in Lancaster know the blessings that come to their town and community as a result of the evangelistic party hold ing a four weeks meting there. Dele gations from Sumter have been here, and it is expected that there will still be others from neighboring towns to attend There are many splendid .young men in Camden, and some of them have shown their interest in the services by being regular attend ants, and there are others whese pre sence is greatly desired. Wc hope that all of our young nun as well as all others will heartily co-operale in furthering the interest of God's kingdom here in our home town and county, and bid a hearty welcome to all from without the county. NOT THROUGH YET The- farce of taking testimony in the case of Nathan Leopold and Rich ard . Leob, the two college-bred younK men, who ao cruelly murdered the little schol boy, Robert Franks, has now gone into weeks of "hear ing," and the end is not yet. The pe culiar circumstances in this case is that scores of witnesses are being ex amined but it is not a trial by jury. When all of the testimony is in it will devolve upon the able judge who ii presiding to say what punishment the boys shall have?death by hanging, life imprisonment or only a few years in prison. Many thou&ands of dol lars are being spent in the hearing of this case with an effort to sho mitigating circumstances in ordei that the red-handed murderer may escape the death penalty. Had their parents been without money one or two days at most would have been all the time consumed in the hearing, and the hangman would have finish ed up the job. TAX-EXEMPTION How nice it sounds! But suppos ing some one proposed double taxa tion" for the majority of people in or der that a minority might go tax ftoe. Such a proposal today would cause unqualified condemnation yet our' law-makers by refusing to change our old laws so as to prohibit the fur ther issuance of tax-exempt bonds are santioning the double taxation w.othod for the masseh in order that tux-exemption n;*y be enjoyed by the ie\.\ HOW ABOUT YOU? When Abrahom Lincoln was a young man he ran for the legislature of Illinois and was badly swamped, and .'??pent 17 years of his life paying up the debts of a worthless partner. He was in love with a beautiful wormn to whom he became engaged ?and then she died. Entering politics again he ran for Congress and was badly defeated. He then tried for an appointment in the United States Land Office, but failed. After this ho beoame a candidate for the United States Senate and was de- ! feated. * ! In 1856 he became o candidate for , the vice presidency, but lost the race, j In 1858 he was once mofre defeated,! thlfl time by Doulgas. j In the face of all this, ho eventual-, ly ^ecame one o i tlie country's great- . est men, If not The Greatest. J How would you stand In face of Huch Setbacks? Think it over. WHICH ARK YOU? In tho lexicon of politics a "react ionary" is one who believe* that gov ernment wan created for the people ] and not the people for the govern- 1 ment; who also believes In economy lh public Affairs and in the preserva tion of tried and proVen policies rath er than In the exploitation of tads where common sense teaches that ' exploitation can lead but to cHs- ; Mtet. I On the other hand "progressive'1 ie one who takeB up with every fad and without thought of the conse quences proceeds bKndly to overthrow tried and proven policies for inno vations neither tried, proven nor within the pale of common sense. In .other words, if you believe in public economy? in protecting the tax payer against the tax-eater, you' are a "reactionary". If you believe in let ting the tax-eater run a vacuum cleaner through the taxpayer's pock et, you are a "progressive." A Natioanl Principle. In commenting on the tariff quest ion the Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore sayi: ''The tarifi always has been a pol itical, a partisan, issue; it should not be so. A protective tariff should be a national principle, regardless of party differences of other lines. A protective tariff is a national necess ity to the United States, for the main '.er.ance and continuance of the A mcrican i tandard of living. Shall any person, state or section of the country vote for free trade and de tcrioation to Europena or Oriental wages and living standards merely bcciuro. many years/" ago, certain praet'. ?: . politicians -sought an "issue belv.'t .. .wo great parties and hap pened . choose the tariff?"

Byrnes Deserves Promotion After 14 Years of Faithful Service In The Lower Branch Of Congress Thi3 Is What He Is Asking Of The People Of South Carolina In His Candidacy For The United States Senate. It is only natural that one who has fitted himself for the public service by years of hard work in the interests of the people of the State and Nation, meanwhile making a record for achievement which is unassailable, should aspire to a field of larger endeavor and of wider and more extensive opportunities for service in the councils of the nation. In politics as in business the reward of faithful and meritorious service should be promo tion. It is on the record he has made as a member of Congress ? a record which stands for itself ? that Jim Byrnes is asking elec tion to the United States Senate. In Congress he has won recognition as an able, and zealous repre sentative. He has per formed signal service t<> the State, the Nation and Democracy. and the material return to the people of South Carolina from his work in their be half in Washington i>; among his proudest achievements. JAMES F. BYRNES Candidate for the United States Senate. IF YOU DON'T KNOW JIM BYRNES, ASK THE MAN WHO DOES He initiated in Congress the movement to create a Committee on Roads, became a member of the Committee and helped draft the Bill that was adopt-. !, securing the first federal money that came into South Carolina for road construction. Since that time this State has received approximately $7,800,000 from the federal Government to aid in road construction. He ottered the amendment, which was adopted, making agricultural paper eligible for rediscount by Federal Reserve Banks. He helped in the creation of the Farm Loan System and the Intermediate Credit Banks, recently established. As a member of the Appropriations Committee he has had charge of the drafting and putting through the House of the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill providing for all civil activities of the government. During the war he piloted through the House the measure that got $10,000,000 to buy Nitrate of Soda to sell to the farmers at cost. He has fought for Restriction of Immigration.
