' Whil" Hl'T'. tu 1 1 llri'in i tin-iiwti1 ed by Home, farmers of thin locali ty generally are very optimistic as to the outcome of this year's crop. No town whose citizens sacrifice 1 civic welfare to selfish aggrandize- | ... 1 merit will ever prosper to any ma- ] terlai extent. Wherever there are those who care only for the thing# that .directly ?Luiul to ad'vanm their peraonal interests, it will be found tli.it litrle real i?rogress in evident. In recent yearn hundreds of little towns that hid fair to outdo their elder neighbors have sprung tip all over the South. It is a remarkable tact that t he old communities iu which a few years ago the bulk of the Mouth's business was done, are rapidly losing ground and that new er towns and villages are gaining thereby. The older towns with a false sense of security are making little effort to retain th?*ir rapidly waning prestige', Proceeding kIouk ?the liiH's that were ji'?f>d enough twenty or forty years ago they see no reason why business should not eotne to them as freely as formerly. The fact that rival towns " have adopted an aggressive poliej and are* making every effort to #gain? business which would naturally k?' elsewhere seems to have been over looked by those who have most t<? lose. To keep pace with the chariot of progress the old fellows must adopt modern methods and if there are any in Camden who have not realized that important fact, it is 4 1 me they were awakened. (t U puzzling w by some mer chants contend (but advertising does, not pay when it is noticeable that the moat *?cce*?ful busina#* i nen of every towu are tbcae who take ad vantage of tbe opportunities offered, them by their local papers to Im press upon those from whom they ? expe<t patronage that they are *1 w ay* alive to the people's wauu That the Coumbia Record'# editor ial writer Is either a total abstainer or that bia sanctum 1* convenient to | that place where the Julep's princi pal ingredient U dispensed l# jjyi dent; else he would not have been so brutal an to tfprJilg an editorial, { (tOm which the following {p an ex tract, upon a constituency whose members are not id! *o conveniently ftltuuted on a,, hot day like last Frl i ?' d*y t"nn> he would p>9<i$vtHumf> 4 of , iaigar In Hi*- Uoitow-of h^1hh?.

The advertiser who wilfully mitt* represents his goods will find no placc for such misrepresentation in 'he advertising columns of this pub lication. In protecting our readers from men whose code of ethics does not Include honesty, we feel that w?? are In a large measure perform ing that fluty which every newspa per owes- to Its constituency. Ifs good sanitation, modern sew uragH ?nd? eaeelleitt water make of Camden a mighty good place in which to live. Few cities equal and none surpass it in any of these essentials to health, happiness, com fort :ind H '1 ''''''111' South Carolina can hope to ob tain no really helpful .service from 1 1 h public off leers, or from those who are aspiring to public office, as long as the present period of mud slinging continues. It is de- 1 plorable that In a state, from whose people have Sprung some of Ameri ca's foremost statesmen, such a con dition can exist. President Wilson stirred congress-' ional circles with an emphatic state ment denouncing the "industrious" and "Insidious" lobbying in Wash ington attempting to create public sentiment agains certain features of the I'nderwood tariff bill. This was accepted jit the capital as referr | lng to the unusual efforts' being made against free raw wool and free i sugar. Thai in this age of enlightenment a band of men residing in a civil | ized community can become so fren i.zled as to hack to bits the body of la dea<l negro and scramble madly j for pieces of flesh that they may be j preserved as mementos of a horrible j crime in evidence thai humanity has i not advanced very far from a state I of barbarism. That it publishes in minute detail incidents of the most abhorrent crimes is nothing to the credit of modern journalism. Don't forget to insure your cotton crop.

UNEQUALED PRICES BURNS & BARRETT CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA A highly esteemed subscriber walked into the Herald ? Journal of fice recently and said: "I b av? b??ii taking this paper 27 year* aud you are the first- man a Ker who ever struck my name from an - mailing Hht " We replied that it was a matter over which we dldu't have any eon I irol ? that Uncle Ham had rule* and' | that we could not continue to mail [the Herald Journal tu 1 vent p< ? pound. 'Hie subscriber hadn't paid for the paper in over twelve month* and (here wan nothing left for ua to do but lift hi* name from the mailing lint or Jeopardise our privilege of mailing the paper at pound rates. Now, the question pre anting it - self to us is; "Why did the man object to paying for the paper and then get (Ul?fc?t- because wo wero forced to take his name front tho lUt?" lie paid the amount due and Maid: "You can continue seuding the paper if J^ou are willing to risk getting pay for it. This reminds u* that the news paper man haw a hard row to travel. Kach year every local paper given from fluO in /rue Hues for the benefit fcljf the community and county in which it is located. No agency can or will do thin. The editor of the local paper, in propor tion to his means, do^s more for his town and county than any other ten men in it, and, In all fairness should be supported. Not because yoy like him or admire hi^ writings, but befcauae a local paper is the befit investment a community can have. It in, in a financial sense, of more benefit to a community than a teacher or preacher. We do not mean morally, or intellectually, but financially. Now, why be penurious with the editor, or think he doesn'V need what you owe him? He Is a. human and has to live like the teacher and preacher. He has to pay his printers, paper bills, grocery and other accounts with money just like -you- do yours. Think : aUtrCCUUfls, you people who seem to think an editor doesn't need any money.
