A valuable article, on Hand clay
road h appears In thin issue of The
Chronicle. Now Would be a good
time to try It out on solne of the
runny Camden highways The ? old
way of working the roads Ih good
enough fir dry weather, but our
roadways get fierce during the rainy
HOUHOn.
The city street force in now en
gaged in curbing the four pave?
mentR at the corner of Mroad and
Ilutledge Hts. near the opera hoiiHO.
Another much needed improvement
will be nj cement walk leading across
Broad street from lleyman'B jewel
ry Htore to the poHtoflce, which
will be a great convenience In rainy
weather.
We fail to see where there is any'
cause for immediate alarm fiver the
social equality howl brought about
recently in regard to whites teach
ing iu llegro schools. Along ibis
line the Charleston I'ost nays: "The
negroes under white teachers are
be ter educated than under instruc
tors of their own color and have in
sillled into them a correct apprecia
tion of l he relations tliat should ob
tain between t ht? two races. In
their early years they are taught the
leadership a::d mastery of the white
and they do not forget. To say
that I he teaching of tl.u\ negroes
by whites leads to social relations
is an absurdity and an unwarranted
reflection on the men and women
Who have done Mi<h a fine service,
in this employment thru many years,
strengthening hy their precepts' the
domination of the whites over their
negro charges."

Itiimrn'M .Around This liurg.
KemberU, H, Feb, fi,? The
warrrn weather has been the Dieting
of getting In gome farm work, but
Jviten tin- eh tinge from warm to cold
;in was experienced last Saturday,
then colds eome to the front.
No doubt this month and March
will bring on the usual ?pHng and
winter complaints.
Things are moving smoothly a
long. Mok( of the farmers have,
uh usual, ititi<l<r all satisfactory ar
rangements for their business.' La
bor Ik scarce and high. One rea
son Is that a great many people are
too lazy to work and bad rather
bankrupt themselves than to work.
This Is a sad state of affairs, but
nevertheless in true. If It in any
disgrace to work, and a man feels
that it lowers his social standing
and dignity, all such ought to read
and study the life of Ben franklin
and compare situations. * They
would soon find out? -If they have
intelligence enough ? which Is the
man.
Mr. Kemberts now house Is
nearly completed. It is a pretty
building, built of cement, and \y 1 1 1
be both convenient and ornamental.
Mr. W. I). Vinson Ik erecting a new
house. A number of his friends be
lieve be will have so mo one to pre
side over( it, and good luck to him
all t ho way.
We have some very pretty girls
around here that would grace any
occasion by .their presence. Humors
are that one -or two are going to
change their names in the near fu
ture. We hope that, their future,
will ever be as bright In reality as
it. looks to them now. One of them
has such pretty manners as to be
marked to all that meets ber. Such
girls are not only a pleasure to so
leiety, but lift hte majrolty of peo
ple to a higher plane. At the same
time we have many worthy young
men who practice what Poor Rich
ard said "That he that by the plow
would thrive, bl;nself, must either
bold or drive."
Oats are looking better as the;
warm days come on them. lOggs ar
getting more ^plentiful. Vegetables
are' scarce. The old winter gar
dens seem to l>e a thing: of the
past .
