Am a cotton Market Oafndeii is con
tinuing this season its past reputa
tion of paying the highest prices in
^4,hiK-pait of .the state. 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.

yeu*J in predicting tlx; results of

more notoriety by announcing him- ,

for an independent candidate to make

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."
Yours for Camden, ?
