The house of representatives Tiles
day night killed the hill to provide
for the- establishment of a .state print -
*tiK plant, the roll call vote showing
fiB members opposed to the measure
*j)d 41 members' favoring the plan,
The final voty on the bill, reached just
before II o'clock, tame as the climax
<jjf a lengthy session of debate on the
rtoea^ure, the argument having been
begun early this al'ternoun and re
sumed again tonight after the dinner
recess. In this rhetorical battle, how
oyer, there were only six participants,
The fact that even now the distance
around a .tingle block in the heart
our town's semi business district
measures one and one-fifth miles
4toars out Camden's traditional boast
of being the city extraordinary.
The North Carolina State Insurance
Department in its efforts to reduce
'he. loss of life and property has
issued the following "tragedy recipe":
."One reckless, natural-born fool; two
or three big drinks of bad liquor; a
v fast, high-powered cur. Soak the fool
well in liquor, place in the car,, and
let him go. After due time, remove
from wreckage, place in black satin
lined box, and garnish with flowers."

there is a third alternative *for the

There is no ironclad and unescapable
obligation to continually increase the
appropriations year by year, out of
all proportion to the increase in the
taxable wealth of the Htatc. The leg
islature i? not bound to find new
sources of revenue by levying spec
ial and class taxes or to increase the
already burdensome tax levy on vis
ible property. It is within the realm
| of possibility to decrease the appro
pi iations or to make no increases,
instead of "piling up bigger and bigger
appropriations year after year. The
solution of the, problem is to spend
less money, not to spend more ani
indulge in a fantastic search for new
sources of revenue, regardless of the
ability of the people to pay. The
time is ripe for a general overhauling
of the tax .system of the State, begin
ning with a complete valuation of
property for taxation and the equali
zation of assessments so" that all
property shall be taxed on the nam'.!

Charles R. Forbes, former director

of the case. Chief Beavers jmid that
Candler had been having his wife
shadowed for s/ime time and he had
been advised by a detective of Mrs.
Candler'* presence in the room with a
man. {leavers said that Stoddard was
in his shirt sleeves when he entered
the room. Mrs. Candler had tried to
hold the door to keep him from enter

were dismissed; but Stoddard having
assumed responsibility for the whis
key he was rearrested on charge of
violation of the prohibition law.

A delegation of business mtm repHs
Hentinif the Chamber of Commerce

proposed Sale* Tax bill now before
the Legislature. From Camden were
K. N. Shannon, M. Heyman, John
T Nettles, W. C.. Wilson. W. T.

and L. Ii.' Block, The meeting vigor
ously condomned the proposed meas
ure and- appointed a committee to
draw resolutions to be presented to
the Ways ?fol Moans Committee of
the House, M. II. Heyman rQpre
Rented Kershaw Cpunty on this com
mittee. . The resolutions as drawn
and adopted by the entire state moot
ing opposed the tax as being class
legislation ?nd as placing an unfair
burden on the merchants of the state,
and asked that the appropriations for
state purposes be held within the sum
of last year, and if this was im
possible to raise the needed appro
priations by direct levy rather than
by the proposed sales tax. These
resolutions were presented to the leg
islature Wednesday afternoon, and
about 400 of the business men from
the state appeared in the hall of the
House. N

Property Valuation Has Grown,
'l'he assessed valuation Of property
in Kershaw County has grown from
$?1 912,950 in 101?, t'o $7,559,521 in
1923, and the tax collected from $110,
SH7.ii:? in 1913 to $259,367.14. When
we llgure the low per cent of assess

Our Cit> as a Tourist Center
A recent visitor to the Chamber of;
Commerce office who had just re-|
turned from one of ttyc best known
of Florida resort towns, and who had
been in Camden for a few days, told u>
that in the future Camden was going
to be his winter home. He reported!
that during the month of January it.]
rained almost continuously for 24j
days in the Florida town, and ex
pressed the belief that Camden was
just beginning to take her proper
place as a tourist center. Our climate
and hoalthfulness compares favorably
with any spot in the country and
looking at the progress made' by St,
Petersburg. Miami, Orlando, Port
Myers and many other Florida winter
ing places during the past ten years
we cannot help but see the possibili
ties for Camden as a tourist center.

Salsbury Planting
Cotton Seed' ?
r
The idea in selecting a planting seed is to in
crease the yield and get a staple that will bring a
premium and at the same time have a cotton that
will mature early to head off the weevil. In the
Salsbury you have the ideal cotton. As a rule it
beat any cotton producing the past season in this
county. Ask any of the following gentlemen who '
planted Salsbury last year: Mr. J. B. Zemp, Mr.
Boykin Rhame, Mr. G. E. Henson, Mr. Geo. T.
Little, Dr. A. W. Humphries, Mr. H. G. Garrison,
Sr., Mr. Henry Savage, Mr. W. F. Nettles and Mr.
Ancrum Boykin. Can also refer you to various
others who got wonderful yields the past season.
Besides being a heavy producer and of an extra
staple that brings a good premium, it also turns
out we!! at the gin. I still have .'MO to 400 bushels
of these seed unsold. These seed are pedigreed,
direct from the origination and are
delinted and put up in 100 pound bags.
Let me have your order early as
they are going fast.
