CAMDEN NEEDS A HOTEL With the government's notifica tion t hut the old Hotel Camden had to bo torn down within u very Hhort ? line to niako room for a post office building means more to this city i !i a 11 many of the citizens think for. It leaven Camden without adequate hotel racilltioH. It Is true that the Central Ilotei Htlll remains but, it Ih incapable of taking care of Onm don's Increasing eommerciai travol. A movement was started here some time ago to interest the business men in the need of a modern com mercial hotel, but. it suon died away. Mr. Sullivan, who will now have to vacate the old hotel sites and proba bly have to leave Camden for the want of a building, has gone to the expense of having plans drawn fo. the remodeling of the old Davis property on Uroad street to make It into a modern hotel, and has been working hard in the past few weeks in an effort to get (lie citizens to take stock Ik Ills enterprise, but so far has met with a signal failure and is about to gl\e up in despair. Some of those approaclwd give cs their reason for not subscribing is the f act that .'he location Is not an ideal one. It has now come to the p-dnt where the location has very little to do with the proposition. CAM DION NWKDS A HOTEL AND N I0DS IT MADLY. The coniniereia fravoleVs are the best boosters a cl*y can have and It is necessary that they should be furnished with comfortable quarters while here. Everyone in this city knows Mr. Sullivan to be an honest, energetic, | upright citir.en and he needs encour agement in his undertaking. Other hotel slten may be more centrally located but the owners hold them ?t such exhorbltant. prices that it would he Impossible to buy. At any rate Camden needs a modern commercial ho'el and 'needs It soon and badly. We commend the spirit! of the following to thr> citizens of Camden, published in the last Issue <>,* the Itarllngton News. When It is known that Darlington is no larn ??r than Camden it should stir the men of moans of Camden to action. We call your especial attention to the lines -in bold face in the fol- I lowing article: "Mr. J. 10 Phillips, the energetic i o\s;., . of the DarlingLon hotel, has ? had plans prepared for its enlarging and remodeling which, when com- 1 ?ploted, will add' very much to Its ca pacity and apearancc. '"When the new Melrose hotel is built Darlington will then have two first class hotels and both of them will be needed for the ever growing demand for nice accomodation. Thi not only is a necessity in a thrhlnc town but a tremendous handicap to its business interests. A town that is lacking in this respect is consid ered as being declining ?>r at a stand *!ill and laekinjr in public spirit. Darlington ea? also, whrti wo have two fine hotels, take pride in the fact that they are owned t.v its own ci' 'y.vvz. who w'.u . ; l . #*> a need, put. their hand* in their p- ck ef.s and do Pt shand bat in r<! t> <* trirjr for outside help."

How I Made My Tomatoes Tho following 1h the host writton history of Tomato Club Work, by Miss Gertrude McLeod, and woi first prize at recent county fair: The purpcso of the Girls' Can ning (J mi I) is to extend the Instruc tion in Home Kconomlcs and Agri culture taughfe by Wtnthrop Normal and Industrial College and the Uni ted Suites department of agrleul U fl*. Ah tho boys corn club movement conveys (lie best of the most scien tific methods in crop production, bo Hie gir.s canning club stands for the most scientific and economic me thods* in home making. To provide nutans i>y which girls in the country may earn iiidiioj ior < if. i pi'i'Moiia. needs, and to render more attractive their homes. To develop trained minds and trained hands, sounder health from outdoor life. To induce every girl in every honie to take pride in doing some thing and doing that thing well. to relate the activities of the home and the school in a way that win render the work of the homo I more interesting and the school ex ".'I'dso more practical. To develop through the club work a stimulus and interest that will be far reaching in effect. To furnish the home with vegeta bles, both fresh and canned all the /eir round thus producing purer food and better food at a lower cost. To place tho work in tho home upon a more scientific, economical and educational basis. 1 joined the tomato club to learn ' more about growing tomatoes and * to what kind of fertilizer and land was suited to their growth. I also joined to learn how to can and to make preserves and many other val uable lessons which 1 learned dur ing the eanning su-.i -on. I plumed my tomatoes -in March and kept the soil mellow until the tomatoes came up, then I hoed a round them every two or three days i until they were ready for trans- | planting. 1 transplanted them the J twentieth of May, after they had] been set out about a week I hoed ; them, and had theip plowed. Tho I land where I planted my tomatoes! wiiE a kind of rich, loamy soil. To- | in <i toes thrive well on this kind of , 'roil. I planted them on a hill so ! tho soil would not he hard and bumpy. A garden seed bed should be j i __ plowed duei>, and then broad-casted w.l/b/ manure, ihou It should be plowed again. If there lw any unit* It should Ik? <aken off, and all lumps and clods broken so as to make the s*.il uwllow, J u>?ua guano and stable manure on my tomato patch. I used this kind of fertilizer because ii ,wan best sulUd to lb*! soil wburo 1 planted my tomatoes. 1 bond theiq oVuly week, iy digKing Up lb the .nlddie 01 tiiu ro*s and among the plan.*.

The canning club work will arouBo Intercut in both home and school work in an unpre cedented way. It furnishes an op portunity for tho correlation of all subjects. We will mention some of the subjects that are combined in tho work. Kvery club member Is re quired to keep an accurate record of her work. Here she Is learning, writing, Hpelling and arithmetic. She 1b also Instructed to place in a tablet, decorated with original de signs, tho hiBtory and geography of tho tomato plant. Here drawing, history, composition and geography are taught. In making cold frame? laying of one-tenth acre plots, she 1b learning elementary lessons In manuul training and measuration. During the canning season^ the club members are taught some val uable life lsesona. She learns the value of time, the Importance of absolute cleanliness, the disaster ac companying delayed work, the Im portance of perfect honesty and the greatest lesson of all ? a love of na-( ture ? which means a love of God. llerp are some recipes of impor tant and practical dishes of toma toes : Tomatoes stuffed with corn: Choose large, smooth, ripe toma toes and wash, cut a slice of the Stem end of each tomato, and scoop out part of the Inside.

For its poultry shipments East Tennessee Is now getting hundreds of thousands of dollars of outside noney every year and while greater part of this money comes from the olg Eastern cltios, a very considera ble percentage comes from Southern cities which are surrounded by ter ritories in which conditions are ex tremely favorable for poultry rais ing. DEAD KAIIjROAD PRESIDENTS It Js remarkable that the deaths of President W. W. Fin ley of the Southern Railway and of President T. AO. Emerson ot the Atlantic Coast Lintft were hot li recorded in Wednes day- /morning's papers. Both men diod \ suddenly and there wero only t. v. o y?tt#er between them in age. It is a further coincidence that Mr. Fin ley's predecessor as head of the Southern Railway, Samuel Spencer, met death, in a wreck, almost an even six years before ? the very an' d.'.ersury, lacking but one day. All of these railro.'td executives died .vhen it might have been supposed hat there were many years of high usefulness awaiting each of them. VTr.
