Through the goodness of a kind
Frorldonc? The Chronicle in permit
ted to live to* nee another anniver
sary. Twenty - three yearn ago
The Chronicle launched its frail
hark with a mere handful of type,
a small Washington hand press ?
using the 4-page ready print sheets
? and no capital save an abiding
faith In the good people of Kershaw
county. Today our office is second
to none in the state, being uh It its,
fitted up with a Mcrganthaler lino
type machine, a Co tire II press on
which is printed our all home- print
$:pag? paper, an Kcllpse folding ma
chine, two Chandler & I'rice Jobbers
and paper cutter, mailing and sta
pling machine, and numerous up-to
date appliances which go to make
up a first-class printing office, to
gether with a full stock of station
ery.
And though advancing in year*
The Chronicle never felt better
than it doe* today and it ?eods out
a huiIW which it tru*t* will perine
at? every home In Ker*baw county
and gladden the heart* of its many
reader*, both here and abroad. The
Chronicle enjoy* the acquaintance of
a large number of former citizen*
of our town and county, to whom
Uu vlwlt* alwayM are anticipated with
much plea*ure each week. To tbem
It *rve* an a letter from home in
which there are tiding* of good
new* from the land of their child-,
hood. May It continue to knock at
the door of their heart* until they
*hal| have returned to abide habit-'
ually at their native healh.
For nearly a quarter of a cen
tury The Chronicle ha* labored un
ceasingly for what it believed to be
for the beet intereet of Camden and
Ker*haw county. We were born and
reared here? It 1m our home, an<l
It 1h hut natural that we *hould love
and work for home. We live among
a noble people. it lm* ever been
our conviction that Houth Carolina
Ih the bent Htate, Ker*haw the beat
county and Camden the be*t town
In gloriou* free America.
That The Chrouicle may continue
to extoll the good of our citizen*
and aid In the further advancement
of thl* aectlon I* the oarne*t de

...COST OF ELECTRIC LIGHTS...
A good many people say, "We would like to have elec
tric lights, but they are too expensive; we cannot afford it. *
Have you ever really investigated the matter to see if
this is actually the case ? Probably you do not know that
with the latest improved lamps, electric light is now almost
as cheap as kerosene.
By using 7 ungsten Lamps you get four times as. much
for $1.00 as you did in 1895.
To avoid danger of our customers using an inferior lamp,
we have decided to sell all first class Gem and Tungsten
lamps at cost.

The follow Ins excellent editorial
1b from the Columbia >itau? and we
commend It to Che careful co moder
ation of every citlsen of Camden:
"In hlii admirable address to the
flout h Carolina Medical association
last week, the retiring president, Dr.
J. \y. Jervey, Mid that the deaths
annually In Houth Carolina number
22,000. Of these 40 per cent, or
9,000 (nearly ?lx times as many
hm were caused by the Titanic di
saster) were due to preventable di
seases diseases that nobody ought
to have and that nobody can have
except through somebody's careless
ness or ueglect.
""Who are responsible for these
9,000 deaths in Houth Carolina?
Who must answer for them?
"Kvery man who defies the laws
of health participates in the guilt.
Kvery man who 1m Ignorant of the
laws of health and refuses to cure
hlit Ignorance or allow it to be cur
ed shares in the responsibility. Kv
ery man, mor^ove/-, is responsible
for the health of his neighbor. Ah
to nearly all diseases it may .be said
that the disease of one man is,
potentially, the disease of another.
The citizen is no more Justified in
neglecting to remove the cause of
disease from his premises, If it
be pobsible, than he would be in
exposing his neighbor's house to
fire by keeping loose matches and
barrels of gasoline together and con
cealed under his kitchen."
