We got along very well, until after a bit I called out an item that was to his credit, ' think it was three or four bales of cotton. He didn't have that down on 1'is l>ook. He didn't say anything but wi? went on comparing the account. i tnally 1 mentioned a credit of some weral hundred feet of lumber that I had bought fioin him and for which I had given him credit against his ac* <*Hint.

Careleaal I'arkiag. Thj parking of automobiles near OU .-veu or at 'the top of hill? on main highway* to make mechanical repair* or to change a tire in provoking un favorable comment among motorista, This practice of' careless parking ia not confined to any one section, it is universal, and should be discouraged. Frequent warnings' of the danger attached to this practice have been issued by authorities, but to no avail. There seems now but one effective remedy and that is a stringent cam paign by the traffic police officer* patrolling our main highways. ^ There are, of course, instances when a car becomes so completely dis abled that it canpot be removed to a uafe position at the side of the road, but such caaes are very few. Most cars that stall or develop tire trouble can be pushed to the side of the load, or if there happens to be a side road nearby push the car around the corner. In your vexation over your car dif ficulties do not lose sight of the safety of your fellow motorists. Statistics show that a great many of the serious automobile accidents have been caus ed by careless parking. Should you bo alone and are unable to push your car out of the path of traffic, ask assistacne from a passing motorist. He will be impressed by your thoughtfulness in aiding traffic and will be pleased to give you a help ing hand. A New ^paperless City. For three days, recently, New York was without daily newspapers. For three days 6,000,000 people were without knowledge of world events, and local happenings. For three days they knew nothingi of what depart ment stores had to offer or. what new shows and pictures were appearing in town. And here, is the rasult: Shopping decreased 10 per cent the first day, 30 per cent the second day, and the third day showed a decrease of mnro than 50 per cent. v Theatres had a falling ofT in attend ance of probably ^0 per cent. Salesmen and salesgirls who work in department stores on commission suffered a loss in wages which will total nearly $1,000,000 a day. A newspaperless city means vast business and personal losses. A news paperless world would be unthink able. Our Favorites. Greenville Piedmont. A good many newspapers come to our exchange table. Among them are some we read constantly with satis faction and profit. They are the weeklies and semi-weeklies of South Carolina. They seem like old friends of the kindly, homey sort. It is rare I to find one that fails to contain some thing interesting and informing. They maintain elbow touch with the people and reflect what they are thinking about. Many a short item reports real community progress. Every one of these newspapers is hammering for betterment, for better schools, finer roads, improved meth- J oas in agriculture, enlorcement ox tne law and so on. As "may be gathered, these news papers reflect interesting- and valued personalities, men of many mindj, tastes and interests. Yet they are all pulling for better communities and counties and a greater Palmetto State. It is on'e of the prized compen sations of lift' in .South Carolina <o know these newspapers and the men and women who are making them count in the molding of a nobler, more progressive commonwealth. It H as Ever Thus. Two neighbors were confiding their troubles to each other over the back yard fence that separated their prem ises. ? "You know," sa.d Mr:-. Stiggins.

Three Wonv'n are seeking tne office of secretary of state in K 'ntu. k\ THBY ALL WANT 8PRING8. | Numerous Delegation* (filing on Prominent l aiUjiHltr Man. Col. Leroy Spring^ who recently Hold out his vast business interests and has announced his ' retirement from business finds himself in a pre dicament ? whether its better not to have enough money or to have too much money. Delegations from num erous towns have made pilgrimages to Lancaster. , to prevail upon the Col onel to make their city his home. We don t believe^ the Colonel could find a better town anywhere to locate than in Camden, and while we know of no delegation going from this city to invite him,, Camden citizens would be delighted to have him numbered - among our citizens. The following ap* pea red in Ivey's store news in one of the Charlotte papers recently: ''Our idea of the height of earthly | satisfaction would be to live in .** J small town of South Carolina, have J 10 millions in the bank and be alj i l ready for a move. i "In the old days before money got to be the uncrowned king of all the nations, Caesar was offorod a good job by the Romans and had speeches made over him when he died. But nowadays we do things differently and pay most of our tribute to the folks with whole 'gobs' of the stuff tj the high brows call 'swag.' "Take Colonel Springs, for instanco, all he's get to do is* sit on his front porch down in Lancaster and wait till the delegations come along. Now that's what we call real innocent and inexpensive amusement because in these 18th amendment days all you've j got to do to show your real Southern J hospitality is be sure that the local drug store doesn't run out of lee cream and i%ke. "Greenville came along with their mayor, a small section of the board of aldermen and several buckets full of oratorical flattery but Rock Hill went them one better by bringing along the town band and 50 or more of the prettiest Winthrop girls in the crowd ? this last with a younger man, ' say one under 40, would have been | absolutely irresistible. ''We can't see why Charlotte hasn't been busy long ago setting forth the j advantages of this glorious garden of the gods. If the colonel would consen^ t'o come here we could right away promote him to be "General" j or even give him a better title still ? [ say "Emperor of Mecklenburg" ? providing he wend in for things like j that. Then we could give him an an- j nual.pass to all picture shows, let him park his ford on the sacred square, name a year's crop, of babies after him and finally let him have the priv ilege of a charge account at Ivey'g, providing he agreed to pay up bv ttye 10th."
