Kor the past M>vera) week* the citizen* of ( 'anidon have been forced to resort to all (torts of mouDH to obtain a few |K)UU<Ih of ice, and have been forced to pay ex horhit.mt prices for what they have been able to obtain. The local lee dealer baa declared all along that he was exerting every power to (('I ice in cor lota, but k'hk unable to do no.

Cuatomera have called at the ice house repeatedly to ask about the prospects for getting relic/, and have been given unsatisfactory ans wers, <iii(l lit times the employees have been discourteous.. A cuatome.r of the Carolina Icc Co., called up the office of this company a few days ago and asked "When do you expect any ice?" The reply wan "We ovpect It when it get* h? re."' Other town* are getting ice. probably, not an abundance of It, but a sufficient amount to supply the needs of its ja>p ulatlon, and the question very naturuliy arose a# to why the Camden dealer can not Ref ii-o. A little light was thrown on the subject one day this week in the nature of n telegram to the representa tive of the Carolina Tee Company. This ? from an he factory not so "ViUhy miles from Camdn and was in sub stance the plain statement that some ice which had been ordered would be "hipped when tht^i: factory w as satisfied that they, would get their money for it, A little investigation, reveals the fact /hut there are a number of judgmeutH against the Carolina Ice Co. recorded at the Court House. Four of thcae judg ments were recorded during the last year and aggregate ?1,088.13, one of them bo ing a claim for ice which was furnished by .the Palmetto Ice Co., amounting to about $583.00. The natural conclusion is then that the reason Camden can't get ice ia the fact that the Carolina Ice Co. can't buy it because they won't pay for it. Such is the treatment that the citizena of Camden arc submitting to at the haudH of The Carolina Ice Co.t or its local rep resentative. How long the majority of the people of Camden expert to submit to such treatment we do not know, but twenty citizens of the eitv realizing that some thing must .be done at once, met u\ The Chronicle oflice one day thia week and perfected plans for getting sufficient ice to supply the twenty members of the or ganization. As a result, these men have gotten Ice enough for their ueeds every day since the meeting. No members are taking solicited, but t*he management of the plan has been placed in the hands of Mr. T. It. Mel. ain, who** will no doubt be glad, to have others join the move ment as fast as provision can be made for the needs of additional members'. These men are determined that their families will not suffer for ice if there is any way to get it. and have put up the money to tinance the proposition, and we believe will have no trouble in get ting ice. It is a commendable spirit in these men, alid is the beginning of a 1 movement which we believe will result | hi the establishment of an independent i ice factory in Camden.

Another aooop for The Charleston Am erienu's Columbia bureau, sy ty speak. How ethical. In the letter to Mr. Cheshire, which appears to have pulled down the cc.nter l >olo under "big top" of the yon r ftingOirous, Aull wrote s "Who is writing, your editorials any way, and why don't you write yourself,^ If- J'OU ImVt'i'itti'r "Ihe ability or the {iewikj paper acumen?"

And, while we are on it, some of those articles that, in the old times, add in! putridity to the? already putrid columns of Heard's Scimitar, emanated from Co- J lunibia. We wonder where Heard's bu reau was. Probably the most entertaining feature of the circus, however, Is the profusion of complimentary and endeariug terms Which these formerly devoted friends and mutual admirers of the lleform I'artv shower on each other. Please, in the language of McLaurin, 't is u "self-seeking demagogue, without scruple or honor he is an "arch trai- j tor;'4 he is a "traitor to his party and an i outspoken enemy of the government in Washington." McLaurin's statement with regard to i Please's connection with the Heard ticket Is branded by Please as "as black a lit* hh : has ever Immmi put into print." Aull denies the truth of McLaurin's statements with regard to him. Peard corroborate McLaurin's ?>t t?* nients with regard to Please's connection with the Heard ticket; says he was "eanjfht -between the Chrir.vbdis of cow-; ar?li?*e and the Sylla of hate." aud that , Please dostcrted him. And now comes Mr. Cheshire! who has ! been drawn into I he controversy by the very whirlwind -character it has assumed, and says that Aull is "a ulouble-crosser. a liar and a spineless coward and a trait or to his friends."

In advis ing thi^ people ?.f South Carolina against "the exchange of Liberty Ponds for se curities or merchandise, the Htnte Coun cil of Defense is acting with the appro val of the Council of Nntional Defense and the Treasury Department. Secre- ' tary McAdoo said recently regarding the exchange of merchandise for Liberty Pond.-* : "When the bonds are exchang ed for merchandise, it defeats the pri mary purpose of their saie._it discour ages thrift and increases expenditures,; thus depriving the Government of labor and material needed for war purposes." j It is also pointed out that bonds taken in e\ehange are usually sold immediate ly in the open market, tlm- depressing the market price. All offers to accept Liberty (loads in ( exchange for other securities, or for i merchandise, should not only be declined, but the concerns making such offers should be reported to the Council of De fense. Not only are many of the se curities so offered worthless, but, to quote a communication from the Coun cil of National Defense at Washington, "the mere fact that any security Is of fered in this unpatriotic way justifies suspicion and an investigation of its character." Government bonds are< of course, the best security in the world. Government bonds should be held by their original purchasers, except when their sale is rendered absolutep n??ees>?r> by mis fortune.
