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?"

'BAD BACKS BRING SLEEPLESS

Many Camden People Deprived of
Needful Sleep by ??. Sore, Aching
Back.
I There is little peace or rest for tV ^
backache sufferer. Night bring* ni,
.respite from the day's misery--the
'same old backache is' ever present,
Ithe sharp twinges when turning or
'troubles, the heaclacho* and nervous
; ness, all tend to prevent rest or sleep.
You often arise more tired than when
i you went to bed. If you have kid
i ney trouble you must get to the cause
--the kidneys. Weak kidneys seld
om get well alone. Use Doan's Kid

Mrs. I). W. Moseley, 5)03 Lyttfotoii

turned, a severe catch shot across my
back and made me restless and ner
vous. Mornings I was tyred from
the loss of sleep. Dull misery in my

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.
Byrnes Has Made fciood In The House? He Will
