Our cotton Buyers have ^>aid ajj^this year an av cent more pur pound than | the majority, of neighboring towns, including Columbia, Darlington, Cho raw, Hishopville, Chesterfield and many other smaller points. Camden's greatest rivals are the sea port towns, and the cost to place cotton at those points is one-half cent per pound. There is no good reason why Camden' should not handle far more cotton than at present, and if these; priec farts wctv more generally; known this would he the ca.se. As an example of the market here as com- j pared to other points, strict middling cotton was bought in Camden on Wed nesday of thi? week for 2.'i*4 cents and Iwtter, while the market in sur rounding points was 22 Vi cents. For the highest prices, season to season, bring your cotton to Camden. An article in another place in thi.H paper signed by Camden business man rings true, and this man has no connection with any cotton mill in terests. We hope when the election is called and the matter of excluding the Watcree Mills property from the city is put beforo the ponpto they will vote it out by a substantial majority. Camden needs this new enterprise and the mill people are only asking what th?-y are rightfully entitled to. ft.

Buddin's Book Store TELEPHONE 316-J LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Editor Chronicle: The object of this article ix to im? ! press upon the minds of Camdrn people that a need for new enter" uriatvM fwe ji iia; ju? grasp the present opportunity. We J must work, and work unitedly and continuously if we are to have any success in attracting capital to our town to invest here. It is not enough to declare that we have a good town. We must prove it and prove it in a practical, substantial way. There are Other good towns. The argument is easy to make that the South is the place to build and operate cotton mills. But the South is a big, wide place. And Camden is only one tiny spot on it. We n*ed not expect outsiders to come here and bring their money if we have not enough confidence in Camden to put put some effort our selves. It is time we got away from the childish idea that Eastern Capital will come along like .a great big Santa Claus and drop something in our stocking while we are asleep. We all want to see our town grow. To this end we need industries to bring in more people and to create new pay rolls and furnish additional markets for the produce grown by our farmers. Cotton factories and other like in dustries do not spring up out of the ground, and they do not fall down from Heaven. They grow out of ??(Tort, based upon determination and common sense. , . There are more places hunting industries than there are industries hunting locations. Right now we have a large, mon eyed corporation knocking at our door, wanting to come in, simply be cause its head, likes Camden ? its peo ple and its climate. Men and Women of Camden what, are you going. to do about it ^'Oppor tunity does not always knock twice. Let's open wide the gate and start the ball a-rolling. Our City Fathers have called the eleetion asked for by bona fide voters. Then we should vote for Camden's best interests and it won't be long before other enterprises will be not ing our receptive attitude and look us up. As old "E. I. K." said, "Let's step on the gas."
