Weak
Back
Mif. Mildred Pipkin, off
R. P. D. 8, Columbia, Tenn.,
says: "My experience with
Cardui has covered a numbe. cf
year*. Nineteen years ago . . .
I got down with weak back. 1
was run-down ind so weak and
nervous I bad to stay In bed.
I read ol
CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
and sent for it. i took only one
bottle at that time, and it helped
me; seemed to strengthen and
build me right up. So that is
how 1 fiist knew of Cardui.
After that, ... when I began to
get weak and 'no account', I
sent right for Cardui, and it
never failed to help me."
If you are weak and suffering
from womanly ailments, Cardui
may be just what you need. *
Take Cardui. It has helped
thousands, and ought to help
you.
At all druggists' and dealers'.

CHAMBER OF commkkck NO I KS
? . ' ?
The Chambe r of Commerce is the
power house of progress. Our aplen
did city of schools and our modern
rural schools art* the mo.it important
onteipriacs that we have. They are
factories in a way that turn out the
most valuable and dearest finished
products that we can possibly poss
seas. They are our "better citizen
ship producers" that take our bent
material our own boys and gll'la in
hand durjng the impressionable an<j
the formative periods of their lives
and mold their intellectual, physical
Atli) 'o a g real extent, their spiritual,
:? ? well as their moral fat uities and
train the mind, the heart, the physical
senses and the better citizenship poa^
nihilities of these futuro men and
women who will have in their keeping
the future destinies of this city and
this county.
?. Our churches and our Sunday
schools working largely towards the
.same end - but including the mainter
nance of the superior adult as well as
junior citizenship, and laying greater
stress upon the spiritual environ
ment of the community ai)?f county
are very great institutions also', per
haps the most important of all, but
working cooperatively along educa
tional lines' with the city and rural
schools of this county.
()ur churches, Sunday schools, put>
lic schools both city and rural, cost us
many, many thousands of dollars an
nually, and we give thousands of days
of our time towards maintaining
them all, and we wish we were flnun
I chilly, and otherwise able to give more
in every way to make thpm, if hu
jrynnly possible, better institutions in
some respects, or rather more result
producing. Hut will some one an
swer these questions ?
After we have spent ao many thou
sands of dollars educating our thou
sands of precious boys and girls, our
most sacred and greatest asset, what
are we doing to furnish work for our
boys and girls in order that they
might remain in Camden and in Ker
shaw county, stay with us, and help
to build up our and their county in
stead of having to go away to use
their training to build up other cities
and towns.
We are certainly paying out- hun
dreds of thousands of dollars educa
ting, training, developing wholesome
and splendid citizens for hundreds of
other, places whtfn we do not try to
supply employment for these young
men and women.
Kvery dollar of Kershaw County
money sent out unnecessarily for any
kind of commercial commodities that
can be produced or bought in Camden
and Kershaw County means that we
are sending Kershaw County and
Camden money ahead to pave the way1
for hundreds of cities to grow nnd de
, mand the services of our home boys
j and girlM in mail order cities far away
because Camden and Kershaw County
do not supply the employment for
them. The mail order cities of the
( country arc largely populated with
t hundreds of thousands of boys and
gii'ls from tho farms and from the
snV'iller cities and towns of this and
other states. Hoys and girls who had
to leave home to make a living.
Kvery dollar sent away for farm
products? farm products that can be
produced, sold and bought in Kershaw
County means the building up of
other communities at the expense of
Kershaw County- -and the develop
ment of greater and larger enter
prises in other cities that will have
a demand for labor and skill of our
boys and girls. Kvery dollar sent
away that can be spent wj*h local
merchants, and for local/labor, pro
fessional services, and for things
manufactured here means the crip
pling of the commercial, agricultural,
financial, professional, labor, and gen-!
oral industrial afTaii-s of our city and
county. i
I he mail order house.s of Chicago,
Baltimore, < 'incinnatt i, and the far
mers of Virginia. North Carolina,
Florida, the wholesale shippers of
poultry, eggs, and truck of distant |
states provide no employment for
Camden and Kershaw boys, girls, men
and women. These far- distant mail
order and produce commission mer
chants pay no state, county, or munic
ipal taxe. to help keep our local
churches. Sunday schools, public

Many western county Sumter far
mers. , as well as Indies* of that section
of the Game-Cock County, are calling
at the Camden and Kershaw County
Chamber of Commerce t<> *ee our new
IBAriUgillg secretary, E. 1. Keardon,
formerly with the Sumter I ounty
Chamber of Commerce. These aplen
did citizens of the wesUfn section of
our neighboring county are taking
advantage of the invitation of our
secretary and board of director? to
utilize the Chamber of Commerce, its
Heoretary and office force in any way
that this organization can he of nor- 1
vice to them.
A committee of Sumter County far
mers called at the Camden Chamber
of Commerce a couple of duys ago,
seeking the cooperation and assist
ance of our secretary who has worked
mo long with them before coming to
Camden.
In assuming the duties of commer
cial Secretary of this city and county,
Secretary Keardon has let it be known
that it i i the desire of the officers and
board of directors and business and
professional men and women of .Cam
den, that the Camden commercial or
ganization be utilized as. a place of
usefulness for not only a^l of Ker
shaw County, including men .and wo
men of every profession, trade and
occupation, but that the Chamber of
Commerce is going to be the central
of common meeting ground and forum
for the citizens generally of adjoin
ing counties of Central South Caroli
na. Numerous ladies and gentlemen
of Kershaw County have also deli'ght- j
ed the commercial organization x by
calling at their headquarters, evi
dencing a very gratifying spirit of
cooperation, and their intention of
using this body for mutual benefit.
The relationship between city and
county bureau of this commercial or
ganization is planning a series of
get-together between city and county
booster trips throughout Kershaw and
'adjoining counties in the near future.
A series of these meetings are being
.planned for the summer months.
An important meeting of the Agri
cultural bureau of the Chamber of .
Commerce wap held last Saturday.
Among other matters of county wide
interest discussed were the questions
of cooperative marketing of farm
products and the necessity for com
munity cannery outfits to aid farm- j
ers in securing a certain and perma- i
nent market for truck. On motion
of Messrs. Willis Cantey and W. A.
Boykin secretary Keardon was in
structed to give the cannery project
due publicity in order to feel out
public sentiment along this line with
the hope that by next fall there will
be a chrystilization of public sentir
ment with a corresponding degree of
cooperation between the merchants,
bankers, farmers and other business
men of Kershaw County whereby a
small sized cannery will be estab
lished in Camden, and community
canneries erected in different sec
tions of the county after the first has
been tried out and a precedent estab
lished for such community necessi
ties,
Tobacco culture and a tobacco
ware house were also under discus
sion. but as these two important
features of farm diversification have
already been introduced in Chamber
of Commerce "prospect" enterprise
circles, they were left for future ac
tivities by this committee, in cooper
ation with other committees. ?
The Agricultural Bureau will ap
preciate an expression of public sent
iment regarding the advisability of
establishing community canneries and
increasing the acrcage of tobacco,
with independent and Tobacco Co
operative warehouses for marketing
of tobacco, etc.. by citizens giving
their views through the local news
papers of this county. Newspaper
discussions like this create interest
and furnish the Chamber <>f Coin
mercc with information as to public'
sentiment and probable cooperation,
and serve to educate the public at the
same time regarding the importance
of such matters.
In J.ip-in as well as China, women
are actually forming business clubs
of their own similar to those we have
in America.
