Some NvnHpjkj&Z Facts.
There art? as many daily,
weekly and mKfmhly newspapers and
periodicals ill the United Strttes as in
all the othee countries m the world.
rk\". 1 '.JiHvil ulukLo.. ,uu m ti\ ci ? ha* only
about one-sixteenth of the population
of%he world. 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. This is not true of
Canada.- American Press.

Why Not a Good Band?
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

That Million Hollar Mill.
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 . Magnifiicient tourist hotels,
the charming and delightful people
j that come to us for a short season,
ami we do not underrate this advan
j tagc, will never make a wide awake
j live c ity The centers devotee! t? in
, dust rial pursuits are the centers of
: nought, of mental friction, of in
telligence and of progress. We must
J at least accord a welcome to these.
