It was also figured out that Penip

FEED .M1IX ANI> CREAMERY
Chamber of Commerce Will Launch
Move For Two New Enterprises.
It lias been learned that our Cham
ber of Commerce will luuneli a move
for the establishing of a feed mill and
a coi-operativc creamery in Cnn?den.
The creamery proposition was dis
cussed at a meeting of I lie Hoard off
Directors .some' few weeks ago and the
feed mill was discussed at their met
ing held on hist Tuesday.
It. is 'pointed out that both of the
above mentioned enterprises would
mean much for Camden and Kershaw
County, In- view of1 the fact that tho
need for both of them has been fell:
for a long time. The establishment of
t ho | creamery would have h tendency
to encourage the farmers of the
comity t<> such an extent that within
I a short time cream would be one of
the principle products of the county,
and that the feed mill would enable
them to secure a better grade of feed
for their stock and at ;i much cheaper
price than they are now paying for
feed. It Is possible that in addition
to the creamery a cheese factory will
be given serious consideration.
A committee has been named to
work on these projects, and they
I will be very glad to re
eeive from any one interested sug
gevtio'ns that will enable them work
more intelligently in hastening the
movement along. The committee con
sists of the following gentlemen:
Henry Savage, chairman : .1. 15. Zeinp,
