Although It ban l*en -extremely hot, June has Its advantages. We 'have al ready had four i?ty-days this month, and one more coiuiuK to us. Judging from tbe number of mar rlage* which have occurred this month, there are other bonds equally a* |>o|> ular in Camden as Liberty Bonds. Tl?e suffragettes of Washington arc pretty good advertisers too. Even the news of the great struggle In Europe can't crowd them off the front page. , I James It.

An ex preacher named Catts Is governor of Mm! stale now. No, its too sail a mat ter to laugh nttout, hut they have our sympathy. The Ceorgia legislature will convene next week for Its annual session. With old "Sol" working over time, and the heated arguments which will arise, wouldn't it he a g?nsl idea for the ineinliers to provide themselves with iisIn'Mos shirts. Horror of horrors! Several eon veil* lions were held, and two tri|x* were made to Washington in an effort to prevent if. and those who were reeoiu* mended hy Coventor Manning for a|> INdntinent on the exemption hoards have received notice that they have heen appointed. When one of these chronic grouches U-giu telling you aliout what hard times are ahead of us, Just remind them that men of Intluence, who know a goinl town when they s<?c one, are investing their millions in and around Camden as never liefore, and are pre paring for the Hood of business that is headed Southward. The Chronicle is In mvipt of a com munication from Lugoff tills Week signed "a West Wateree Maid." There hap|H>ns to Ik> a good many maids in West Wateree, and as It is a rule with this, paper never to publish a commu ideation where the name of the sender Is not given. However, if this maid will send us her name we will he glad to publish the communication. President Wilson askisi for toil mil lion men and got them. >fe^JTSKed for a loan of two hillTfm-^tollars and the sum of three billion was offered, and his last ap|>eal for one hundred mil lion for the Ued Cross fund was over subscribed. Wonder if the Kaiser still lielievcs that the American ]>co ple are not with the President? The edge of treason seeius to present irresistable fascination for certain gen try. but It .may prove as dangerous as skating on thin ice. says a writer in the Manufacturers Itecord. Americans are long suffering and slow to wrath. Hut when tin' first casualties are re ported from the battle front, it Is probable that they will arise in their righteous anger and make short shrift of traitors. Those of the near variety hay have the cunning to sing very small then, for they are not without the wisdom i?f their kind. We heard one man say that if the tourists had b??en here Camden would have made a better showing iu the Liberty Horn I subscriptions. That's our greatest trouble. We have grown to depend on the tourist* for every thing. We want the tourists, and should do all we can to make our <*ity as attractive as possible to them, hut we should not ex|>ect a three months business to keep us going for twelve. What we ne^l is more manufactories that would keep business going the vear round. No. 22. STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF BANK OF CAMDEN Located at Camden, S.

Cut out extravagance, steer clear of wastefulness, keep within your means, hut don't let anyone persuade you that we, as u i>eople, need to he afraid lo do in tin' way or business or daily living Just what we would do jf no war was on hand. Suppose that everybody starts to stinting and unnecessary self denial iMfause of the war. What would become of business and industry and enterprise? We can live as well now. undertake as much as we could before war was declared. There will be more money in circulation in South Carolina this year, circulating among all classes of jieople, than In any year of the pust. What we most need now is confidence, courage and cheerfulness. We can live and do business as we always did. This copy of The Chronicle will prove well worthy of preservation. At a great deal of time and etxra labor we are publishing the complete list of all men?white and colored?in Mils county who have registered to serve their country In any capacity in this great struggle. Not every country newspajs-r is able to handle tlijs large number of names and we consider our selves fortunate in being able to give tills largo list to the public. These young men have enrolled for service and their friends and acquaintances are entitled to know that they have complied with the law. The published list will furnish a jierinanont record for future use. and we think it would 1m* a good Idea for every family rep resented In the rolls to keep this Issue of The Chronicle. To those who are not subscribers to this paj>er we would state that we have printed extra cop ies of the pi?i>er and they can be had for a small cost. Hart^vllle had vMted ujmhi her roofs and vegetation a severe storm last Thursday afternoon. The wind was hard, the lightning vivid, the rain fell in torrents ami found its way through roofs that had never leaked before, and hail Ixsit ujmhi the window panes. Water ran in some of the stores and in the hotel to a depth of six inohes or more. The .Methodist church was struck and considerably damaged by lightning. Two cows at College Heights were kill?*d by light ning. A large tree grazed tlie roof of a small dwelling opifo>slte the grad ed school, as the monster oak was up rooted by the wind. The phone and lighting systems were put out of com mission. It was a bad time for a few minutes and should serve to impress 111Miii us all our dependence uixiii God. We should be thankful, too. that there was no loss of life. Verily, we aro minute, dependent creatures and we should not forget this. It 1* sad to contemplate that there are those who apjM'ar not to believe in a Supreme Heing.?Ilartsville Messenger. Something to Shudder Over. The Dawson News shudders to think what would hapi>en if the ghastly se crets of the waste basket unlch fills to overflowing each day as it waits under the' editor's desk were made piddle : "If the loeal newspaper should some day print the contents of the waste basket there would certainly l?e a riot in homes of most of its readers. There would be arrests in many directions, shotguns in others, and trouble all around. But the iwitron never sees the waste luisket; he only glances at the printed i>ages, and growls if there is one letter upside down, or one name hap|>ens to be wrong; growls because the editor did not take his advice about things, and he is generally disgruntled. He knows his share of the waste bask et. but if he could see the contribu tions to that receptacle he would be thankful for the existence of a man who does not print all he knows, and tempers that which he does print."? Albany Herald I?r. K. C. L. Adams, late candidate for lieutenant governor was convict ed and fined $40 for an attack on John Madison I)esOhamps during the camj>alKn at Manning last summer. The case was heard at Manning. Many prominent i>oliticians were present to testify. J. H.

Olemson College, rt. C. Juno 25. <>nly about sixty days remain In which to cultivate present crops. The farm er who neglects the proper cultiva tion of his crops during this time, is assuring himself of a low yield. Every acre planted this year should be made t.? produce the highest yield possible and only by thorough cultivation dur ing the next sixty days, can this 1 >e accomplished. No hard and fast rules can be fol lowed In cultivation as the condition of the soil will determine when to cultivate. However cultivation should Ik? often enough to keep down all grass! and weeds and to keep a loose layer) of surface soil from one to two inches thick, to prevent loss of moisture. Cul tivate as soon after the rain, as the soil will iiermit. The proper cultivation "of all food ero|w this year is especially impor tant, and every land-owner should see that their tenants give the corn the best of cultivation. After corn grows to a height of 11! to 15 inches, shal low cultivation only should bo given. The majority of the feeding roots of corn lies within the first six inches of surface soil and if corn is culti vated more than two inches deep af ter it is knee high a large j>er cent! | of the feeding roots will l>o broken and the corn will be damaged in pro I portion to the amount of broken roots. Proper cultivation of the corn crop this year will do a great deal in Increasing the average yield per acre, and in adding to the food supply. Same Way Here "If this newspaper was to print everything sent In from the Govern ment and from other sources in the nature of free advertising, we would not have room for n single news item, a paid advertisement, and we would soon he bankrupt. We do the best we can. but somebody gets mad anyhow."?Tugaloo Tribune. JULY PAYMENTS For stock in The Camden Building & Loan Assn., will be payable at Loan & Savings Bank Mon day, July 2d, 1916 John S. Lindsay v? Secretary farther A POUND of style ? bulla con tains about pound of real roughage and about Kpound of lint. After being eaten, the old stvle hulls swell to twice the weight, or 1 pounds, pound of COTTONS CCD HULLS LtNtLBSS also doubles after being eaten but as they are 100 per cent roughage, the original pound becomes 2 pounds? not pounds. Therefore, a pound of Buckeye Hulls goes a third again as far as a pound of old style hulls. In other words, you only have to feed pound of Buckeye Hulls to give the same food value as a full pound of old style hulls. 7 Other Advantage* Buckeye Hulls cost much less per ton than old style hull*. Buckeye Hulls allow better as similation of other food. No trash or dust. Sacked?easy to handle. They mix well with other forage. They take less space fa> the b?ra. Mr. Ben Faulk, Dothmn, Ala., prefer* Buckeye Nulls to old style hulls because cmws like them as well, they are cheaper, they agree with the cows, and they go farther, one sack lasting as long as two sacks of the old style.
