WATKREE MESSENGER ? *? ?/' - . fced Every Tvnday by W. BIRCHMORE, Prop. JW A Ywur ia Advance u Seeend Class Matter at the flee at Camden. 3. C. Tuesday May 28, 1929 DEVELOPMENTS GOING FOR WARD. The fact that manjr people living | right here in Camden, attending to j ' their daily tasks, have but little to say about the developments that are con- 1 stantly in progress in our community; v,; nevertheless the developments are going on just the same. We drift \i into the habit of taking things for jf granted, but that is not sufficient. We should let the world know what we are doing. In oredr to get a slant on what is being done, one haB ? to go out over the town and surround ing community. We all know that .an air port was built and is now in use, largely because of the novelty of such an enterprise and the further fact that it was a gift to Camden and Kershaw county. Our manufac turing plants are constantly making improvements, and we take that too for granted that they will do so. i Why, out here at the Wateree mill a $25,000 church is being built by the mill company. That would indicate their interest in their opeartives and .their faith in the future of the com munity. A few evenings ago we we;.' up to Sanders' Creek with Mr. R. M. Kennedy, Jr., and were amazed to find a lovely pond up there. We re membered it as a small stream flow ing across the public rood with suf ficient volume to make a small bridge necessary, but now it covers several acres of land and it as least twelvo feet deep at places. Wfi look for ?this to be a favorite resort for swim ming and other amusements soen. Developments are going forward right along in this community. | Thousands of dollars are being invest ed in building lots and new homes within a short distance of Camden, * and within the corporate limits many new residences and other develop- j ments are going right along. Sure ly there is every reason to look to the future with hope and aspiration. We hope soon to see the day when j our merchants and other business people will begin an activo advertising campaign, for they can greatly help '???' themselves by such a course and will 'I, make it possible for us to be of more help to them. Our people do not take to advertising as they should. This >?; i# An age when ybii get business it | means that you must invite it, and [ puah for it, for with our great pro gress, other towns and communities ? are awake and bidding for the very ;V. business we have. BAN ON CIGARETTE POSTERS. I The public highways and other pub v 'lic places display advertisements of i women smoking cigarettes. These | posters are very artistic and doufotless ?)' have an influence over women smok ers. - The Outdoor Advertising Asso y elation has put a ban on thiB class of advertising. The Sumter Daily Item i/' makes the following timely comments with regard to it: "Women may continue to smoke, | but they will no longer smoke in heroic size on billboards lining the nation's thoroughfares. "The Outdoor Advertising Associa tion of America announces that it will no longer accept tobacco post ers illustrated with women smoking cigarettes. It takfis this action be cause of strong protests made a gainst such advertising. The gen eral manager of the association says It haa made the ban effective on one firm which does $12,000,000 worth of outdoor advertising a year. | "It's a praiseworthy reform. It is one thing for women to smoke, if they feel so inclined. It is another thing to flaunt their smoking pub B icly, in appealing artistic forms, suggesting the practice to young | girls who have no business smok ing." ? r ELECTRIFYING A NATION. ' While the electric industry was conceived to furnish light, it now fur nishes motive power for from 06 to 70 per cent of manufacturing facili ties for the country, according to Vice-President Farrar of the Electric Bond and Share Company. The 9600 power companies in Our Country serve 22,000,000 customers and are reaching on an average of 8,000,000 more each year. Output doubled in the six-year period from 1900 to 1916, and during following ?fx years again doubled. To meet this expansion, millions of plain, everyday American citizens have Invested $9,600,000,000 in elec securitles and are expected to it another $900,000,000 this year build new projects and extend linos atary nook and corner of tftie land, the rural mail delivery system. "THE EARLY BIRD - CATCHES THS WORM." There Are evidently a number o f politicians in the state who believe that "the early bird catches the worm," for, they are already groom-' ing themselves for the 1930 race. From present indications there will be a lively campaign next summer, the**main fight being over the race for the United States Senate, and for Governor. Senator Cole L. Blease is expected to offer for re-election, and he is almost sure to have oppo sition. Dr. D. W. Daniel, of Clem son College, is being urged to make the race, and should he decide to so, he will be a hard man to beat, for he is one of the best speakers in the state, is well known* and well quali- j fied for the place. But Dr. Daniel j has not made any statement *is vet 1 as to his candidacy. Blease, of course, ! will have a strong following, for he is an astute politician, and knows how ! to keep his "political fence" in order, j Then there will be the race for Gov- j ernor. Perhaps the strongest man mentioned in connection with this race ia now out of the way. We re fer to former Solicitor J. Lyles Glenn, of Chester. He has recently been appointed a federal Judge, which car ries a much better salary than that of Governor and is a life time job. Lieutenant-Governor T. B. Butler is expected to enter the race. Then there are at least a half dozen others ' who "have been spoken of". Solici- 1 tor Blackwood, of Spartanburg, who ran second in the last primary elec- j tion, will likely try to make it in 1930. Oh, well, there will be a suf-! ficient number to enter the race. Then for some of the other state offices there will be contests. The promise for a lively campaign is good at this time. BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE. The 1929 telephone construction program is the largest in history, ac cording to an official announcement which says: ''The Bell system is building so ns not only to be ready but to encour age the public to the wider use of the constantly improving telephone service. The population is growing the desire of the people for comfort and efficiency is growing, and that means a rapid growth in the utiliza- j tion of the telephone The use \ of long distance service which makes the whole United States one business community within easy instantaneous reach, has become an important fac 'tor in merchandising, in the control of inventories and generally in the more efficient distribution which has so beneficially affected business dur ing the past few years. "In the home, as well, a radical change is coming over the use of the telephone. "Where one telephone in the house used to be considered adequate, peo ple are now putting in extensions so they can talk with comfort and con venience from almost any part of the house. Women are acquiring the con veniences at home that office forces have^i I "flf}s growing utilization of tele phone facilities both in business and' in the home naturally means more telephone plant."

God can answer prayers but men can't. Sometimes ' God won't answer prayers. God likes ! good prople. He does not like mean people. He won't answer mean peo ples' prayers. God can give us food to eat, water to drink, send rain tp make the crops grow. When people are sick God can heal them. Men can pray for them. Go<l won't an swer them unless he is willing for them to be healed. If I was sick I would be trusting in God instead of a man. I'm sure God can heal quick er than man can. The Lord has a beautiful golden shore to take the good people to/ He doesn't want mean people up there. You can sing and praise the Lord better in heaven. If it i.i any of your friends gone on before you, wouldn't you like to see them? You cannot see them here. You can imagine you can but when you get to heaven you can see them. You will not see them as they were on earth. You will see their white soul. God loves little children. You know he said in the Bible "suffer little children to come unto me and fc rbid them not for of such is the kingdom of hraven." God likes people that go to church. He does nt t like people that do not go 4o hear the preacher preach God's word. Hfi doesn't want people that gamble and drink whiskey. Ho knows that thoy are going to the devil and turn ing Away from him. Some people do not believe in the Bible. They don't ; think that the world is coming to an ] end; but they will see when they die. ! Tliey won't havo a Bible in their ! hdme. They don't want to be good j until they are on their dying bed, then they want to pray to God and go. to heaven, but it is too late. You ought to be praying while you are well, then wh^n you get sick you won't be studying nbout going to hell. When s'urms come everybody is praying. They won't pray only when , they are going to die or storms are coming. They want God to save them then, but it is too late. So why don't you pray when you are well and the sun shining then you won't have to be praying when you are dying or a storm coming up. Minnie I'earl Anderson, Age' 11 years Midway School.
