-Jtrat after the yivll war and up to
only a few years ago the mailt public
road^ln Kershaw county was the one
lending from Camden to Cheraw via
Tiller's Ferry and was probably the
most extensively traveled. For the
past few years, however, the portion of
this road from Sandy Grove church
to Tiller's Ferry bridge has been aban
doned, as f?r as It being worked or
kept in repair In cori&tf led, although
those who reside along the road are
rrrmpHtrrt to pay road ta-x- as-well? a*,
other folks. > As stated this road was
once a public road, a ?mill road, . a
church road, the rural carrier on route
1 travels it every, day, a nd the county
board' should have It clayed at once
and , kept In rejiair. The chain gang
could put this road, only seven miles
in length, in good traveling -condition,,
within a comparatively short time..
The farmers of this section are gath
ering a large amount of peas this fall, J
whlcfe Is greatly to their advantage
and credit. There are few niore valu
able crops raised on a farm than peaa
and Is one comparatively few farmers
take the interest In tliat they should.
In addition to being a most valuabj^
food crop tot man and beast, there Is
not a l>etter cover crop than pea vines.
Plant plenty of peas and Increase the
valne^of your land.

Mr. (Jeo. T. Little, who was on commit*

Mr. F. M. Wooten, at request, gave
some information in reference to
freight rates he had looked Into.
By a Joint resolution the president
was Instructed to draw up resolutions
commending the efforts of the Civic
League in its work to eradicate the
insect pest threatening the hedges of
Camden, and its efforts to obtain a
mail box at Seaboard railway station.
Resolutions.
"Resolved by the Camden Chamber
of Commerce that we heartily approve
of the efforts being put forth by the
Camden Civic league to rid our city
of the sorcuHed "white fly pest, and
that we assure the Civic League of
bur co-oi>eratlon with them In any pro
per measures they may undertake. We
further urge. that the Civic league, the
City Council and the Chamber of Com
merce Interest themselves in this work
being done as promptly and ils effect
ively as jiossible.
, Resolved by the Camden Chamber
of (Commerce that the Secretary be
instructed to use every effort, in the
name of and in behalf of the Cham
ber of Commerce, to have placed by
the propto authorities, first: a mail
box at the ^Sea board station where
mail may be placed for collection by
the train clerks, and second : suitable
boxes at convenient locations, In the
Northern . section of the city in which
papers and periodicals may be placed
for. collection by . the city i>ostmen."
. There seemed to be a general feel
ing among those present that after the
Chamber's summe^ recess, energetic
work for the good of the town and
county should be the slogan, and that
the organization' as, an economic help
to the town and county was a factor
not, to he overlooked, and assurances
of willingness to assist in the good
work were general.
