Some times they ^et fooled, hut not often. They are not infallible, of course, but uh a rule their judgment is *ound. ^They are good people to tie to. Kor illustration; Not long hijo a roao went to a hank irt n neighboring/^ city and wanted a loan, lie hati4 ample c.ol-> latera)f but Uk* banker declined toi make the loan. When a busincH* associate expreaaed wurprjae, the >' banker .said, "Oh. ye*; he would have paid the loan. Then he would have wanted another accomodation, and I would have been afraid of him. You *e?-, I happen to know that a few year* ugo he told a deliberate fainr hood in a buaLnesa transaction. I don't want to have any bu.sineaa deal ing* with a man who will tell a lie, especially if 1 am loaning him other lieople'n money." The moral i* plain. There- aie, in fact, two morals. The fir.st is that it doe*nyt pay to lie untruthful. The second in that it pt hard t<> fool a hanker. (Carolina Citizen. H. 1..

That Cotton Mill Again. Editor Chronicle:? ; We have never yet 'gone into auch deep waters that we could not wade or twin out, nor are we afraid of being engulfed by the overwhelming billows if we take a few steps further into the contro versy that was unintentionally on our part started last week by the little article we wrote in regard to that "Million Dollar Mill." We believe that what we said was for Camden's good, we believe so still, we told only the truth and it has not been dis proved. But for several reasons we do ifot care to continue the contro versy as it engenders only bitterness and bad feeling, array's side against side and never reacts for the good, of the town we all love and in which We are all interested. . *Y Another reason is we do not care to "lose out" in the good graces of our friend, the editor of the Messen ger, with whom we have enjoyed an uninterrupted friendship for a num ber of years, and we trust that this friendship may not go up in the smoke of industries and be lost for ever. However, may the smoke of industries ascend in volumes carry ing with it all differences of opinion that shall merge into a vapour and descend in refreshing showers upon Camden and its people. May peace be within our walls, and prosperity within our homes. Citizen.
