Chamber of Commerce Note#
jKnow Your Town. .
When lfaul proudly stated, "I ?m a
citizen of no mean city," ho portray
ed that pride in on?'? homo town
which .should be in every man's heart.
To all the citizen# of Camden there is
a Igkmoii in this early boast of citizen
ship. I#et u? ask ourselves if we in
our heart* can uay, "Wo art? proud of
our town, we be.lioVe in it, wo are
citizens of no mean city."
Thin pride in one's city must have
r^iiue real foundation- It cannot exist
on the booster spirit and buncombe
and hot an. Vou must know your
town, know in your own heart it in
a good town, and why it is, and if o up
is not familiar with the resources of
hit? city he cannot really know. These
thing* ?l,: ltl4" very well springs of
Chamber of Commerce work, and
your Chamber of Commerce will en
deavor to tell tho people regularly
what we have in Camden and what
is going on. Take ^dvantago of the.
information the Chamber of Com
merce has, ask for it, usO it and know
your town, for as a city thinks in its
own heart, so it is.
There is a present and growing
need in Camden for an organization
for the development of real' estate,
and the building of homes. Within the
past few weeks several chances to
locate new citizens have been lost
when no suitable home could be
bought. A company that owned suffi
cient city real estate and had the cap
ital to work with could have buijt ami
Hold homes to these people. In addi
tion to being the means of bringing
people to our town, an organization of
this kind would till a long felt need of
our own people, and would be a profit
able investment for the stockholders.
The altitude of Camden is 250 feet
| above sea level, with mean tempera
tures as follows: Spring (U.UO; Sum
mer, Fall G'J.'Jfi; Winter 1 0.
Camden has forty-two miles of
streets, maintained and kept up by
the St rout Department. Nine miles of
the e .streets are included in the pav
i' piogram just being completed.
We ,*iie informed by our tire insur
ance agencies that Camden has the
third best rate in South 'Carolina for
protection against lire. It i* a sec
ond class insurance city.
\V )i\ Is a Chamber of Commerce?
Men who have never been identified
wit!) a chamber of commerce some
limes have queer ideas of just what
such an organisation is, and why a
city needs it.
A chamber <>f iummrlve is ;i con
cert of the civil-, agricultural, com
mercial and industrial forces of a
community. It serves somewhat as
does a choir in. a church, an orchestra
at an opera - to assemble and unify
and mold into one force the individual
energies of its members, and use them
all foi the common good. One man or
<>n." firm can .sometimes do a great
deal of good; but when banded with
others of like intent, even if of lesser
?sttcngth. his power, to i good is in
lii.uely greater.

Misn Annn Willianui Retire* From
Active Work.
When the Iiland silver dollar, now
almost extinct east of the Mississippi
wan a? common as the paper dolllar of
today, the coin was admired for the
strikjngly beautiful profile which the
designer gave to the head of the (iod
dess of Liberty. Thousand# of persons
through whose hands the coin passed
have asked who the model was. The
rather indefinite answer was, a Phila
delphia schoolmistress. The profile
was that of Miss Anna W. Williams,
who on Thursday retired after forty
years of service in the Philadelphia
schools.
The IMand dollar was f?r..t coined
forty-six years ago. There were thou
sands of applicants who offered their
^eads as models for the goddess.
Georgo Morgan, the designer, had ap
parently little difficulty in making a
selection, for he announced Miss Wil
liams' head the most perfect he had
tfvrr ^renT-"- It was not ntcessary^for
him to idealize his subject. The coin
bore the portrait of the model. Amer
icans have frequently objected to the
figures or symbols on their coins, but
in the Iiland dollar they approved the
designer's work.
0. Henry wrote a story of a miser
who married a woman whose profile
duplicated one he had seen on a coin,
so that when he looked at her he could
always have visions of the wealth
which her head represented. Hut could
he ever have visioned such a silver
horde as carried Miss Williams' face?
More than 500,000,01)0 silver dollars
were minted before 1914, when the
supply of metal purchased under the
silver act was exhausted. In June,
ll>20j the .coinage' of the silver dollar
was resumed to replace the l!70,000,
O0() which were sold to Kurope during
the' war. Here was wealth Surpassing
even a miser's dream.
Miss Williams had another claim
to distinction beyond that which came
to her through. the Bland silver dol
lar. She achieved a success in kinder
garten work that brought her recog-r.
nition beyond the city to which she
gave forty years of service. ? New

Planting Cotton Seed
I have recently received a carload of Pedi
greed Salsbury Seed for distribution to the
- planters of Kershaw County. This Cotton
seems to have produced more per acre than any
other cotton planted in the county the past sea
son. It is very early, of a thin foliage, which
makes it most ideal with which to beat the weevil.
Also if turns out 36 to 39 pounds lint to the hun
dred pounds seed cotton and brought a premium
of 50 to 200 points over the shorter staples "of
short cotton. 1 will be glad to refer you to I)r.
A. W. Humphries, Mr. George T. Little, Mr. H. G.
Carrison, Sr., Mr. Henry Savage, Mr. Alex Mc
