Camden, S. <!.. November 24, 1922. Tho laying of the cement on Bnmd .trut has boon completed from the colored Baptist church to the white Baptist church, and the forces of th< const ruction company are now work ing, on the western end of DeKalb street. The paving of the sidewalks on east DeKalb Street has begun and it i? being put down in sections so n,s to allow an entrance to the bust^ ness houses on this street. We un derstand that the eastern end or DoKalb street will be paved from curb to curb, the same as Broad street and we think it a wise decis ion on the part of city council, for traffic on this street is almost ?; heavy as that on Broad. I he asphalt plant is now being erected near.the Southern passenger wtation and tho work of placing asphalt will com mence in the next few days. With favorable weather it is hoped this Work will be finished by December 1Mb. , An Old HUmler. The New York Times Iu its i*?ue of t ?st Sunday quoted tho.

Due to the fact that Camden has only one street, entrance, both east and west, we are badly bottled up, on account of the work going on with th<j paving of DeKalb Street. Whereas if those that have had the authority in their hands for the past two years, were not bowing to two or three objectors, we Would already have had Rutledge Street extended west to intcrsecfc the main highway, and from that direction would not be experiencing the difficulty that we are experiencing, an<jl if those that saw fit to dig up and block the old Biahotoville road, beyond the Her mitage Cotton Mills, would not have done so, or would reopen this road, traffic wtould not experience the difficulty that it will shortly expe rience in the closing of east DeKalb Street. Let us implore those that seem to have this power to block to be liberal, and lend us their co-oper ation, and then we could have a sub stitute entrance, and there would certainly be no better time than now to do this.
