Letters From The People
My dear Camden Friends: I need
la'lp which I aiu sure you will give If
-ytit oiilr know how. Itfly 1 titr on thin
I will state that we linve In our towu
#ome jieople who are absolutely depend
ent upon Charity for their support.
With the prevailing' high price* they
must suffer for the Pare neees>.ui''cs of
life and with another Winter approach
ing, there In no real danger that some
of them may he unable to endure the
>liaid-shlps which are Iwuud to come i.v
lens provisions be made against It. i
This is not an attempt to launch a
"Drive." nor is it meant to lake the
place of Individual giving or "Church'
Charities" already In operation. These,
are well enough An their way. .hut be
ing spasmodic, " iio not meet t lie situu
tKhi adequately,
What we need I* a regular unfailing
source of supply to which the needy i
may come for relief, one or two peo- j
pie unassisted cannot possibly do till*; J
unless they belong to the class to which!
money does not <'01111!. and these are'
few, if any, of that sort Uenv Hut
"jnany micklcs make a uiuckle." and by
each person giving, according to his or
her ability we mght be able to keep on
hand enough to provide all reasonable
needs, until a better day dawns for I he
poor of t Ills world.
There is no society of any sort here
that could really " supply I he crying
wants of t lie poof. F.ven the old. "as
sociated Charities" which I have tried
hard, to keep alive has died an untimely
de;.^f*
1 appeal to the ?*ty Fathers. Chamber
of Commerce. Masons, to amy and every
organization here to every man. woman
and child, to gel together at once, and
retrlve the "Associated Cliarilles."
which is more needed now. thjin any
othef t line. Put it on a sound business
'footing- proniplly. and effectively, or
put in motion some other plan hv which
suffering may be prevailed In our
midst. Knowing the situation ami feel
lug lU.V Inability to cope with it. either
"physically" or "f ilia nclally. let Tne urge
?>ne and all to inak<> a real effort to,
provide for our sisters and brothers who
without any visible mean* of suppir!,
must suffer, unless we help them.
Trusting that you will take good part
in my suggestion and my f?*eble effort
to help if I can. I am and
ho]M'fuily yours.

What a Farmer Says of Sea-1
ator Smith and His
Candidacy
***** ? '
ri ii Htftt*. August 17. Itnan
Mr. I'Mltfir: IMeaae give me space to
w I
v* rite a few word* relative to the
nation of the successor to Senator K.
I?. Smith hi til# 1'nlted Slate* Senate.
Without <IU|?araK>nK the merits of the
tbree good lawyers opposing' Senator
Hui I tli such as may foe found at most
i 1 1 1 \ bar hi tbe state i wlfb to urge
the importance of reflecting "Cotton"
Kiuith on hi* rm?rd.
I in possible for m? fO ennmi'i-utt' In
thin article ?ne unehundretb of tbe
f h iiitf s done hy him as our senator for
the whole people. especially the farni
n-. anil other laboring clause*. He was
ouce president of. the cotton (3 rower* ?
Association and wan very aotlv? in ex
erting hi* effort to Increase the price
of cot top. After becoming our aenator,
be secured the passage of tbe cotton fu
ture# act, preventing tbe of
price* by the tender of valueless cot
ton on contracts j co-operated lu tbe
standardization of /cottou. grades ; com
purtdott of grades; offered resolution
to ascertaiu bow much American cot
ton Is needed abroad and tbe beat me,
tliodfl of supplying it; secured govern
ment cotton reports. and the census de
partment to furnish number of bales
and unsptnnahle cotton ou hand; se
fWL^rad appropriation during the war of
a fund of twenty million dollars for
the distribution of nitrate of aoda am
"t; t|>e farmers at cost, saving them
front to $00 a ton ; favored pushing
our cotton goods to every part of tbe
world ; had the embargo on potash lift
ed as soon as the armistice was slgn^
ed ; the erection of a nitrate plant
practically now complete at Muscle
Shoals to manufacture nitrogen from
tbe air. which will save the farmers
m' I Hons of dollars: secured the amend
ment of flection J3 of the new banking
1 and currency law whereby tbe farmer
Is given six .months time on agricul
tural paper as against 90 days on com
mercial paper, thereby enabling him
? to have the proper credit for holding
awl marketing his coops; coppe\tt?d in
panning the Farm Loan Act which
i placed farm hi'iid.s for the first time in
history of this country in a position
where It was possible for farmers to
1 use their land a* an asset on easy
terms, supported sf rongly The f iews i>r
President Wilson during the war on
war measures, and. being chairman of
the Interstate Commerce, his part was
moht exacting; favored the <?ood Roads
Act. favored restricting Immigration,
and i<ii this resjieet protected the Am
erica n laborer from cheap European
laborers, is a strong supporter of the
Regional Itiiuking system, holds a high
position on seven committees In the
Senate.
Tills Is only u short review of tlu?
Senator's work in the Senate. We
have >te veil members In tin* lower
house ami two in the up|ier house ? ?f
[ congre.--s, ami of the ulm* members.!
eight are law yers, ami" Senator Smith
lis t lie only farmer there. I admire
[ lawyers.' hut do feel that we ought to
keep in congress the only farmer we
have there. Many of the lawyers are
ahle and patriotic. hut whenever I
think of them. 1 am reminded of the
plot u iv <>n the Him' Mack speller which
r?'phex<Mits two neighboring farmers
that had a dispute ahoute a cow, and
one of the farmers was holding the cow
by the horns, and the other hy the tall,
and y lawyer on each side milking.
!('au we afford. with the important
problems t?> he solved in the next con
gress .to s^nl a new man to the sen
ate. for he would have t#? he there for
jenrs however bright he may 1m\ be
fore lie could luive the experience and
influence that Senator Smith has?
Shall we turn out one that has prOvisl
himself s.i worthy to make an experi
ment? I a in a farmer and feel that he
has greatly lienefltted me and every
other HHioring man in the state.
If there were anything in Hie record
of Senator Smith showing that he had
mot imulc :in aide and conscientious
senator, these lawyers after him would
certainly have discovered it. for I no
tice that even a man at Washington.
is trying to dictate trr OUT" peo
ple of South Carolina who they shall
elect to the Senate. i hie of his prin
cipal object ions to Senator Smith seems
to be that he atis>{vred to only about
half of the roll ealls since there. The
Tic surprise to me is. that he. with all
his i in (M?rtn n t committee assignments,
could answer to that many. bift h?> cer
tainly did answer to Important roll
vails, a number of the roll calls were
undoubtedly on non-essential matters.
This man writing against Senator
Smith froip Washington. P. sectn*
to be a lawyer, ftiiid the failure of all
these lawyers to uncover In Senator
Smith's record in the senate anything
against him. convinces me that he has
made a most vigilant sentinel on the
watch towyr. and I'say to the business
