Already many demauda are being made hero for additional humea, while at prea cut there ure many realdeuee* occupied by two or more faunillea. Then- la a great opi>ortuuity here for ' the development of the population, aa many people from other aectlona are clamoring for a home in Camden. Under the . preseut ' circuimdaucea there is auch a genuine shortage of homes in the city ?s to make it almost impossible for local hoineserkers to provide u place in which to move their families. Too, it can be >-aid that very little building ia going f>n in Camden at thia time. Especially is this true in regards to the erection ?>f residence*. The main trouble in the failure to build more residences here seem a to cen ter on the high ?>ost of construction and the inability to secure building lots. Ac s cording to general expressions little de velopment along this line can be ex pected unless the exjpense of such under takings are reduced. In the matter of building lots we are glad" to know that there is a movement <>n foot to have a street opened, up through the center of tin- square bounded east and weM by I <vt t let?>n a rtd HrOfld street, running from the 1'renbyterian Chun-h on the south ami extending through t<? the (traded School building on the north. A petition is being cir culated and being readily signed by prop ?m'H.v holders giving their consent to the proposit ion. We understand that all property holders with the exception of hr< v e _ *igued their consent and the i*<?iir who have not signed have not been approached Another petition to the (pinlitied elector* is being readily signed a^kiiig oily council to open the street. This we understand.' tin; ritv is willing; t<? do. Besides opening up n new street this move would -obliterate a large difch running the entire length of fhis xi|niire whirh has been for years .i breeding ground for mo*t|uitoes.

Virginia-Carolina tobacco still holds the world's favor WHEN, in 1587, the tobacco that we know as Virginia- Carolina tobacco was introduced intoEngland, it quickly became "the rage". Since then it has gained steadily in popularity all over the world. v In 1918, in the United States alone, five % times more Virginia-Carolina tobacco was-* smoked in cigarettes than all the^foreign-grown tobaccos combined. That's because a cigarette of this sun-ripened home-grown tobacco has a crisp, lively relish that no cigarette of foreign or mixed tobaccos can match.
