If you don't belteve that Mtntement try to get along without your paper. To talk about 'supporting'' your newspaper in about an foolish as to talk about supporting a store, a bank, or a manufacturing enterprise. You wouldn't be much In the world if you didn't trade I" a fctore, have a bank | account, and have some outlet for the cnorgy of the citizens. Too many business men look upon the local newspaper as an Incubus, a sort of charity. Vet the local paper Is as much a public Institution as the nubile library, the churches, the hos pitals, or o.ven the commercial club - with the difference tlwit It gives more direct returns, in dollars and cents to the individual ai)d to tlu? community at largo. YThen a (business man advertises In his local paper, it is with the avowed intention of building up his business; but he mi My also helps to build up the town and everything in it- Thc professional man does more, because his advertising helps the town mort\ than it does him ? directly. The man, business or professional, who does not pay for his share of tin? town's publi city, is a parasite, taking advantage of his fellow men. Can't you tell what sort of a town a place is from the looks of itw news paper? If the paper is of the boosting sort, and Is backed up by the business and professional men; docisnM the town get a reputation for being progressive.' The newspaper's stoek in trade i> publicity. You would not go into a store and ask the proprietor to give you a pair of shoes, for Instance; yet too often the publisher is asked to give away Ids stock in trade? adver tising for the individual or the city? ?r sell it for lew* than cost. If you could) keep count of the demands of this sort made on your publisher every week, you would lungh. In proportion to the beuef its. indi vidual and general, advertising is one of the cheapest things on earth. There are men who will tell you they_do_not believe in advertising. Do you know why? They are cpntent to gather np the crumbs that fall from the table of the . progressive merchant who ad vertiser his business and his town Every time one of your stores advei tiscs a sale- it brings people Into this town, their buying instinct Is aroused, and they visit other stores. The ad vertiser ?ets direct returns, but thOf others take advantage of his-e*pcndl tnre without a cent of cost. You expect the publisher to boost your town as one of the best on God's green earth. He is asked to do these things for ?which nobody will father the responsibility. Every time there Is a civic opportunity, you call on him for lieli). You know tiie functions and value of your newspaper as well as anybody; so why elaborate? There is never a time when adver tising will not pay. If you do not owe a debt of obligation to your news* paj?er, you owe it to your community. The community has a right to expect your cooperation in making the news paper representative of your commun ity. Every time your name is published in a list of contributors to^ some chari ty, that is advertising? free adver tising that the publisher gives cheer fully. because it boosts the town. ? The country editor is not a pig head id individual; he Is out for the^same thing you a re- -to make money. And his best interests :n*e the best Inter- j ests of the town. I Do yon think it Is fair that he should shoukler the greatest part of the bur den. that be should give his time, money, and often his very heart's blood to the service of the community for barely a living wage, and sometimes not even that? Yet these services are offered willingly as a free premium on an Investment that will return yon sure results. Or, do you think It right th$t a few 'business and professional men should carry their share of the towns pub llclty. while others evade their respon sibility. The newspaper i-s a civic a*s?-t and ? responsibility. That burden of re sponsibility should be. borne, by the business men of the town, as they are the ones who benefit most. And that burden should l>e divided in strict j proportion to the benefit possible of iirtalnment. ? Kingstree Record.

The wife erf Hurry J. ltunxou a local commercial flyer and u lloutcuaivt of avlatlou In the WorUl War, who died at a loual hospital here yesterday aftefuoon from bichloride of mercury polsoulug, was found by the coroner'H Jury tonight to have committed wloide. According t* the testimony of several women who hoard at tho same apartment house, where the "Runuons stayed, said yester day afternoon they fouud Mrs. Runson in a comatose condition ou the bod In her room and suffering. Her husband who was on his wtiy to the local avia tion field, was notified and he and the attending physician took her to a hospital where she admitted, ah? had tukcji the poison. She said she was tired of living, but that she desired no' one to place any thlame on her hus band. She said she had taken two of the pellets and this was verified when the bottle containing the remainder was found under the mattress of her bed where she stated she had put them. l>r. l>. J. Webb, of Danville. 111,, father of the dead woman, said thai she had been despondent, 'von? eiriy childhood, when she suffered ? injury to tlie spine which partially deformed her. He absolved Lieut. Hun am from any blame. Il.er husband said that she had fits ??f despondency.' and was suffering from one the day of hoc death, but he hud no idea of lu?r tak ing hoi' life as she had never made such a threat. Clyburn Wins Honor. Mr. J. H. Clyburn. our worthy county court clerk, has received th6 honor of being the champion "mem bership getter" of our Chamber of Com merce. It happened in this way. I^ast Monday a membership committee of 10 men was formed to solicit new m emitters for our organization. The plan Is that every meml tor of the committee must serve until he has secured tw<> new members. He is then released and another man is put in his place, lie too. having to serve until he has secured two members. The original committee of ten met and adopted' the idea and set out to work. ? ht less than thirty minutes Mr. .Clyburn reported to the secretary treasurer with two new mem berships. It was not long.' however before other members of the committee began to turn in their two members; Hev. M. M. Benson and W. F. Nettles bein ? the next two to report. The idea adopted is proving very popular and it is needless to say that many now members will be secured. The slogan the committee is: "Ixtok out, we're after you. and eventually we'll get you." So about the best thing we can say is give your membership to the first one that approaches you, for if you don't; there will be another one after you ? 110 getting away from it. The membership committee report that they are having 110 difficulty sign ing up new members for the people realize that our Chamber of Commerce Is accomplishing results and are ready to sign their names without argument. Why should any one argue the ques tion. when we are all working together for a Greater Camden and Kershaw County? If any member of-4.be committee has difficulty getting new memlters. just go to Mr. Clyburn and he'll tell you how it's done. If you get anxious to serve before you are officially appointed just phone Rev^F. H. Harding, the "big chief" of the "big ten." and he'll give the neces sary credentials to go out for the two nerw members. Law Vs. Murder. A policeman in (Ireensboro. N. brave. loval. efficient, was foully murdered the other day by an auto mobile load of liquor runners. There are various theories of the causes back of it. but they don't get any where. There is only one thing back of murder and that is the spirit of murder, or open contempt for law :ind for the life and happiness of others. It i* in this same city that] the Daily News, one of the State's leading newspapers, has recently bit t'Hi.v attacked the new Ku Klux Klan.i We simply want to go on record as say; n? that If the liquor gang had known tlvere was in C.reen<4>oro an organized force of men sworn to so- ! rrctly maintain law and order, and ! whose identity whs unknown to them, j this same gang would have steered ] clea r of Oreen?flK>ro ?nd Policeman j McOulston would be living today. ; The cure for such outrages as thl* murder Is In preventing it. The original K!an did not suppretjs the outrage** by the punishments, but by the dread Inspired lit linVinraliriS which kept them from committing the outrage* We know very little about the new Klan. but the old one saved "the civilization of tl>e South, and there ?Is Juat ??4 mueh need f?r it today as there was then, ami 'probably more, bemuse then there *hi only one raee problem In America and now there are a do*en, with hofctfwrvlsm on 'top of them I^ncaster NV*w*.
