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." I

You should obey God rather than 1
men because God can do great things
but men cannot. 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.
