An effort la being made by a few
clth&eu.s here to raise enough capital
stock to organise a cotton seed ell
mill lit ltethune. Much an enterprise
would not only l?e of material bono tit
to the citizens of the town and to the
farmers iff this section, but we feel
confident It would be a paying invest
ment to Its stockholders. There has
also heen some talk of trying to es?
tablisli a cotton mill here. With a
Cotton mill and an oil mill erected
hero, Hetlmne would then take nor
rightful place among the jwogreSslve
towns of the state, instead of staying
in tho dead, moss hack class, as sho is
at present. This town Is adnilrnbly
located for almost any kind of enter
prise, is clean and healthy, and we
hope that the suggestion to erect, at
least an oil mill, will soon become a
reality.
There Is not a person In Bdthuiie
who desires to see the town expand
and grow and develop along all linos
more ardently than this correspondent,
We are always glad to know, that' our
business men are making a success,
that pny of our citizens are prospering
and doing . well? hence our 'repeated
suggestions that thfe business men es
pecially get together and co-operate
for the mutual advantage of rill Its
citizens. # Organize a business men's
league, a chamber of commerce, "tt
board of trade, or some other kind of
get-together club. This is the ouiy
way to promote the best interests' Of

pull together and work Instead of sit
ting around on the streets from day
to day whittling sticks and growling
about how dull business Is, the war,

'fhe writer has suggested, 6n~ several
occasion#, that the farmers of this sec

Thoroughbred hogs can now bo bought

In fact, some as low as -7^ cents gross.

Correspondent l'londs For IMtff Ac
? coinodation to Traveling Public.
Ttolng a cltUen and native of Cam
den, and at tho same tlnto s|>emUng
most of my time In another commun'ty,
I feel that I ran give an tmimrtlal ami
yet a couliuent of personal luKTOit In
tho hotel situation in Camdon.
l<cavlng its history in tho back*
ground, Camden still has a record that
she can prtmrllj' boast of and show to
I ho world, ami that lect.rd Is found In
llradstreet. 'J'ho ii)crchants of our
town are rated anions tho host In the
stato, and are shown to he. in a state '
of firmness, by tills accepted authority,
Does that sound good? Yos, and to
Whom ? Why you say to everybody
Interested In Camden. You are correct
but ! venture the assertion that none
of us appreciate nor roalt&e its meftti
Ing so keenly as the "traveling wales
man" or the "drummer," hs many of
us call him. Indeed, he leaps with
joy when he this report; and makes
all plans to stop over In Oatuden. Oh!
hut what Is Ills feeling after reaching
tho town? MMy, my." says he, "thin
tho hotel." "Surely I muxt he mtn
taken or else I have found a Svel-to- ,
do; old-t\>g>, dead town." Thus with
his wit and enthusiasm thwarted he.
; goes out to do bustneoH. "A" nice
movie." aays he to himself, "a lino post-.
| otllce too, and look* at the new bank
and office bulging across the way.
That looks more like It, and su.re tlu>
whole street looks like business," and
thus cheered up he goes on for a good
day's work. .
He leaves the towri and comments
about as follows to a friend : "That Is
a fiood, progressive town. Clever.
^<>un(l..audliiUMtllng merchan&i too, but
tliey seem to li?i|ve forgotten the trav
eling man, bin value to them and his ?*
need of service and accomodation." Do
you not thtntr ttiHt II town mioltld
a hotel at least In Jceei>lng with its
own welfare and progress? Thus con
tinues the conversation, Incidentally
boosting the towns that furnish good
hotel accomodations, itr -a singlo w
many respects.
I heard a mi logins ? Hay oh Jan. Hfc?
1010, that he had the highest regard
for his many friends In Camden (call
ing several hy nnme) ; and added that :
-m? - Turn TTeen going ITiere for 27 years,
hnt lt tmty made him sick to think
of tin* ft m? h ml <>omfnrf flivnii ?
low-workers In a town like Orimden.
Truly. I -believe we have neglected
this valuable asset to our community,
and have left the care and proiier en
tertainment' of onr visitors and helpers
to soine Individual. I -think 111 most
enses they have done the very best
they could, ftut'I do not think any of
ns believe It. was - as good service ah \
onr town would like to render and can
afford to give.
AkuIij, Assadas It may seem, am)
he the cause whatever It ma? it hi a.
known fact that the traveling public |
does -net make lis plans to stop over
In Camden and now it Is our duty -to
remedy this defect. You say how?
Tiiere -is almost- one certalh reply to
that question. If the hotel is a suc
cess under an/ management, the pub
lic* must needs he behind the project,
and it would be better to say in the ?
undertaking. If the people qr^Cam
don help build amodern^ Commercial
hotel, they will he i far... more Inter
ested In its success, and tryly aid In
some way tha?.jsvin benefit the busi
ness." Unconsciously, you will find
yourself gladly referring your salesman r
and friends to the hotel ; 'instead of
offering him vsbme apology, shoufd 1>o
mention the hotel, as we do at pres
