There are 2.1,010 such publications. There are more evening dailies fl,H77) than morning papers (578). The total circulation of evening newspapers i.s 20,000,000, of morning papers I .'5,000,000 pir day in round numbers. Of Sundu) newspapers there are a holt t 500, with circulation of about 111,000,000 each Sunday. Fifteen hundred newspaper*' and periodicals are printed in about fifty four languages, nu hiding Aiahie and Yiddish, Further foreign language statistics are these: Seventy six newspapers published in Polish, seven in Kussian, one hundred and fifty i ti Uutheiiian, forty- thfe.e in Yiddish, seventeen in Chinese, twenty-eight in Japanese. Some of our big cities have as many dailies printed in foreign lang uages as they have newspapers pub lished in Knglish, A few large cities have more*. This condition is peculiar to the United States. It is approx imately true that there is no foreign language daily in the Kingdom of <!reat Britain or in tin- Continental countries of IOuiope or in Australia or New Zealand.

Upon investigation we find tbat there i* in Camden the nuc|eus for a good Concert Hand, and with some new material there can be easily or ganized one of nt leant twenty or twenty-five pieces. There in no or ganization that ean give the amount of pleasure to a* many people as a "brass band," and we hope that the movement, already started, will cul minate in a good organization. If you are interested, or if you can play any kind of band instrument, meet with us at the Chamber of Com jnerce office ''Monday moinipg. March 21th; at eleven o'clock. Clean I'p! paint Vtf took 1 ?>'? With the, coming of Spring, when all Mature throws off winter gar ments and takes on new green, the netd of Spring cleaning and painting i - forcefully impressed on us all. riu Winter's deposit of .cans and rubbish is just as great this year a* i before} the need of paint, here and there, is easily seen, and yards and -lawns in Cam don could" be made individual spots of beauty with a little care. One unpainted house in a blocK of beautiful homes spoils the looks of the block; one unkept lawn or dirty yard keeps a whole neighbor hood from looking spick and span. Lincoln onie saitl, "I like to see a man who is proud of the to\yi he lives in." We know that we have a right to be proud of Camden. I#et eachwof us ask the question, "Is all Camden proud of my part of ( am den." Clean possessions make good impressions, and the "VeveF?e S too true of dirty plftces. 'We hope to annotfnrc soon a cam paign similar to last year's, and if a*ii wiii wurK a little, with the feeling that Camdtn is for all of us, and tha* t takes every spot in Camden to make the town, we can really clean J Up, and pa. at up. and then have the] i>;ht t>> look up. l-"u J _ I (.'nod Publicity ?

Kditor Chrorticle: We Were pleaded to aee tjhe position you took lout week on the proposition of that Million Dollar mill. Of courts wo want It? We want more jwople (it Camden and vicinity twelve months in the year. We all want $13,000 tu ro$ loose in the town every week for we know that every "hustler" will be directly or indirectly benefitted by it, an<i if they are not "hustlers" let them get out of the way of the band wagon. We Kaid all warited it, but there are some we are sorry to nay who do not want it bad enough to have their taxes increased two mills and rink, getting it back three-fold in the in ereascd prosperity of our olds town. One in 1 1 1 ion dollar* will be added to our county's wealth but that is not sufficient. We will let them cOme just within the limits With all benefits coining our way and make the rich corporation pay for it. A narrow view, a wrong spirit.' We contend that nil attempts, to compel either rich corporations or rich individuals to beait an increased part of the com mon burden only aggravates the con dition of the poor, of which the writer is one, and thus condemns the town or' city to remain ^definitely at a stand still, to creep on forever in the same old way, to shut the gates of hope upon any forward or progressive move. No town or city has a right to extend its limits beyond the lino where equal protection, privileges and benefits are guaranteed to all. The beautiful tourist hotel on Mill street, of which we aro justly proud, has this protection, this guarantee but right there it ends. No paved streets lead up to Wateree Mills, no fire protec tion. ^police protection, water, lights and other benefits are given. The Wateree Mills pay $3,500 taxes to Camden., What does Carrtden give in return ? And yet some would have this corporation spend another million on the extreme edge of the city limits thereby increase their taxes. " 1 here is a way that seemeth good, but the end is not yet." And some times we close the door of oppor tunity, and prosperity that is looming up on the near horizon vanishes for . ever, Our view has l>een obscurcd bv 1 1 Hollltl V'nlnrc nf J - Hot (be "pcrmy wise- and poUnd Fo6V ish!" Other towns are bidding for industries and opening their doors wide to them. \\ hy ? Because we cannot have a progressive up-to-date live city without them. It is an in- ' . dustrial age, the age of machinery I found its birth in the development ot spinning and weaving and as these two arts lie at the very foundation of the industrial arts of the ancients, ho they are to a large extent the basic arts of the modern system of indus try. -Cotton milis! Yes, we want them. Camden will do in the future as it has in the past, stretch north ward as conditions on the northern boundary will be more easily over come. Health giving white sand hills among the pines will prove inviting to: home builders, while lake, creeks and two mill villages bar the way to the ; rising sun. And rumor says there is j to 1r. a mill store! Well, "what if there is? We believe every large mill has a store, but it doesn't monopo lize the mill trade and never will. I hose people < ome to town, they bring money with them and spend it liberally. Hut what's in a rumor? Often only a vivid stretch -of the im agination sets the ball rolling and soon a mole hill has grown into a mountain. The conclusion, we are not on the pay roll of the Wateree Mills, nor in any way benefitted by the corporation nor a candidate for its favors. We are interested in Cam* den and its future first, last and all the time. Now, just a word to our progressive young city council that has already done so much for Cam den. we beg you to make every effort t?> put the deal through and secure this mill, for without industries you ; cannot reach the goal, the star vou ! o I i < > w .
