For two months paat the Supervisor'*
monthly report showing the expenditures
each mouth by the County Hoard of
(?oiiun itwdoners has not been appearing
in the two Camden papers, but is being
printed in a paper published on tb?
edge of the county, and the large ma
jority of the tux payers will hav? to
get thin news from another source other
than the Camden paper*. For m&ny
v years it has l^en the custom of the
two OfttudtQ papers to hamlle the coun
ty printing jointly aud uot hid agaiust
one another? merely splitting the |fgal
rat? between then?. Two mopths ago,
however i the Hoard in aetmon decided
to chaug? this arrangement .and admit
a paper of a much smaller size , aud
great deal amaller circulation to. share
equally in the division of the legal rate.!
This of course wan uot ugreeable to the
two old established paper* published at
the county seat, in that they hold their
advertising apnea and circulation ut a
higher rata than the smaller publica
tlon, gnd the proposition wac rejected
by tht?se two pipers, so In the future
you'll have to look beyond the county
aeat to get the news of the county's
expenditures and such. We feel thut
this explanation is due our readers

The arrest of Mrs. Naomi Cambeir attft

'children, who were inmates in a home run
by them, known as the Undenominational
Horn*, and the revelations concerning
this. home, nhow how ilnwlaev it is to
contribute to every demand that is made
in the "name of charity.
It appears that this home was run
by these people for no other apparent
purpose than to make money. They
took the children from the home to dif
ferent towns, and we believe they have
been to Abbeville, and had them solicit
funds from people, many of whom gave
perhaps thinking that they were making
a really charitable contribution, while!
others gave, as people often do, to be
rid of those asking for help.
But it appenrs that these people were!
utterly unworthy of assistance. They
were In no way qualified to conduct a
. children's home. They were brutal in
their instincts, and without any of the
feelings which naturally prompt one per
son to help another. Hut they collected
in the course of a year large sums of
money no doubt.
A man Is as responsible for the mon
ey ho gives as for fliat which he does
not give. It is his duty to give to^
worthy objects of charity, and it is none |
the less his duty not to give to unwor-'
thy objects of alleged charity. This duty
imposes on him the further duty of mak
ing +nveatl?Htlon as to all thefte alleged
charities.

jtreafNt detective ayHtern ever devlaed by
iiimu the inner story of how the all'"*
by aerial photography and weird deduc
tion from uifaniugless print* of the Her
man linos solved the riddle* of the foe
? the atory of "the camera, the beet spy
of ail time". Into thin atory will ooroe
the strange cam* of the humau footprlut
and the counties things of stealth it
revealed, also the curious rogues gal
lery" of Gentian generals which the al
lied detective* collected, kept, and- used
with such Hure might ? also the odd . . ,
but u 'beginning must be made.
There Is no more' astonishing thlug
in the whole marvel of aerial photog
raphy than the camera's ability to catch
the trail of a walking man. At two
and a half mile* in the air the ordinary
aerial coin era will abow the footprlut*
of a man goiug across slightly ahelled
ground. At a mile it will show on new
mown grass. "At live mile# It will ro
veal them trailing across No Man's
Loud.
Consider thla: Once the French were
planning to take a certain hill, knowing
that Havariau "I.andstunn"? ? poor ma
chine gun lighters? held it weakly. At
lawn a photographer wont up, name dash
Wrk with ft "picture, and TR minutes
later the French general called off the
rtt-taek and saved the lives of thousau'ls
of his mew, And yet the camera had
-aUght no i:emarkftble thing. It merely
howed that one group o> men had gone
t anil another come into the trenches
lurlug the night. The footprints of the
!<"*iniui9 told that much. The incom
ing trail, followed back, wan found to
>nnei'ge from a woods, lying beside a
?jn.e white road. The allied detective*
Sending over their prints, followed that
road to the nearest German cantonment
nnd proved by still other photographs
Mint the cantonment was held by Prus
sians. Presto ! The French staff knew
that crack Prussians were opposing them,
and that It would be nothing abort <?f
suicide to attack.
.. Deduction of this wort was more than
half of the work of the aerial-pbotog
raphy sections of the allied armies. The
work of snipping pictures froto tUe air
was picturesque, dangerous, heroic ; but
for thrill and romance give roe those
sweating, wilent men in the dugouts study
ing photographs by the hour, catching.
i clue here, a telltale mark there, that
made Hiudenburg's plans an open book.
Modern photographic science laid before
each allied general a complete picture of
everything the enemy was doing and al
most everything it was going to do. It
showed him unmistakably what his own
men were doing and what they could
do. It relieved him of conflicting stories
from wpies, from human mistakes ? for
the camera does not He.
Napoleon could but guess what Wel
lington wasi planning; Foch could send
up a photographer and within an hour
know what Ludendorff was thinking of.

t the good they, may do is only limited
i by the 'amount of money which they re

PREMIER CLKMKNCKAIT 8IIOT
Aaanxaln Tries to Kill Ni^tcd Mau of
France.
Par la, Fob. 10.*? Premier Georges
<'l(7inenceau characterised by Lloyd
Ocorge* as 'France's grand young man',
was atttacked today by an anarchist,
1'linilo (k)ttin, known as "Milou." Sevou
shot* were tired, three of which struck
ilw premier. On? bullet lodged in the
muscles of the shoulder, penetrating
deeply, but, so far aa la 'at present
known, nr^tr* injuring the spine, .or pene
trath^g^to, the lunga. Two ?' bulletta
bruised the right arm and hand, while
two other bullets are reported to have
passed through the premier's clothing.
At the time of the attempted asRas
?dilation, M. Clemenceau had Juat left
his home to drive in a motor car to
a conference with Col. Edward M.; House,
of the American peace delegation, and
Arthur J. Balfour, British secretary for
foreign affaira. Though bleediqg pro
fusely, M. Clemenceau was ablg to re
turn to his fcbfnj^where he^*ssujld
tho mem'bersof hia household and waved
aside anxious inquiries with "it is noth
ing."
latest reports from his attendants
were that hia condition was aattafftc*
,tory and that he waa cheerful* through
out the day despite occasional "fits of
coughing.
For the present it haa been decided
by the aurgeona that extraction of the
bullet may not be necessary, and ar;
rangements have been made to take ra
Mopranha of the injured parta.
Cottln, whom the police believed to
^e a Romewhat harmless person asso
ciating with anarchists and aiding 'In
their propaganda, declared that he had
planned to kill the premier because M.
Clomenceau "waa the enemy of humanity
and waa preparing for another war.H
