Broad street had entered at the Cam' > tlen, South Carolina postoffice as second claws mail matter. Price per annum $VJ.(>o. . . in I miii. im . Camden, S. C\, Friday, Dec. 19, ME24, The Chronicle is glad of the result of the election held here Tuesday. t It shows by the overwhelming vote in favor of the mill exclusion that Camden and Camden people are friendly to foreign capital, and the enlargement of this great mill prop erty will be of untold benefit to ' Camden's growth. We are calling attention to ii notice from the City Recorder found on an other page in regard to the wreck less driving of motor vehicles. ? The f city has given its officers iijstrue-, tions;to stop this practice and*fines will be doubled on those who are! . caught. We understand that they | have already cited six violators to appear Monday morning on charges of speeding. , This paper goes to its readers in double size this Week. We had net J out to make it even larger, but the j young man who was to put ? the , proposition over was taken sick, and' it Was only through the loyalty of our regular force that the double size paper was made possible. We desire' to thank our advertisers who look .space in this edition and bespeak for them a liberal share of the Christ mas trade. We want to call the at-i tcntion of our readers to these pro gressive merchants and ask that whenever possible they trade with Chronicle advertisers. Favors The I'nblicity Idea ICditor Camden CJironicle: With great interest I note the effort of i Camden's hotels, citizens and Cham ber-of Commerce to put on an extcn-j si ye advert isi^A^'WMJ'a ign for,, .(.'am - den. This-Is a step in tlve right di-'| jeetion. Camden is not known to the outside world as it should be as a winter resort, and it needs concerted effort to do this effectively. Let me urge the business men also to join in heartily with a scheme J which will undoubtedly bring largo i returns to* Camden's activity in busi ness. ! We have here a climate of unsur- ; passed virtue, fine hotels, golf courses polo fields, and a certain atmosphere seldom found in a winter resort. I Large returns will surely be reaped from advertising the town, and the efforts of the very efficient Cham ber of Commerce should be backed up by every citizen of the community. A Winter Visitor. The Bank of Duncan, of which L. C. Miller, treasurer of Spartanburg county, is president, has been closed by order of Albert S. Kant, assistant state bank examiner. Mr. Miller, who is president of the Bank of Duncan, deposited $173,001 of the county's funds in this institution, it was re vealed by a recent audif of the county's books, after the auditors were compelled to secure a Supreme. Court order to require Mr. Miller to allow them to examine the records and cash account* of his office. Fire in the Ottaray Hotel at (ireenvillc Sunday afternoon did dam age estimated at $MU,000 before be ing finally extinguished. Much of the fourth" and fifth floors and the. roof on the south wing of the build ing were destroyed. Water poured down from t'looi to fb or, ninl prac tically mined furnishings and equip ment.

Charleston county re ceived the largest sum. $G,534.23. How a Greenwood county woman changed an unprofitable Acre of Ian to a successful poultry and truck farm from which she has already rea lized this year $1,000 in cash was told l>> w. n. Nicholson, prominent attorney and extensive planter, in talk made at a fireWell dinner given by the Greenwood County Jersey Cat tic club to Cftuqty Agj'nt K. I\ Gul ledge, who goes this week to North ampton county, N, C. Mr. Nicholson was speaking of the diversified farrh ing that Mi. Gulledge has been in strumental in bringing about during his three years' work in Greenwood county, especially with reference to the lar^e number of daiiy cattle he has purchased for interested farmers, and in this connection told the fol lowing Interesting story: A Green wood county woman, whose name was not given, had been given by her husband the. proceeds from the cot ton raised on an acre of ground for several years. During normal condi tions the land yielded a bale of cot ton every year and, when cotton was bringing a good price she thought she was getting, along in fine shape. Hut in 1021 that acre yielded only 250^ pounds of seed cotton and she began to wonder if she could not make it more profitable by abandon ing cotton and raising other things ?>n it. She fenced in the acre, cut oil' a part for raising garden truck and the remainder for chickens. In 1022 her receipts from her experi ment wtjre $250. In l02<Vshe made $o00 and then, stimulated by the county, home demonstration agent, she put in more hens and diversified her producing farming still more, in creasing the intensification, and up. to.this time this year she has already realized $1,000. j-Her entire output' is -so,Id,..,in. G roe irCVoOrei^ "It goes to prove," said Mr. Nicholson, "that by changing our methods we can suc ceed on the farm and it is further proof of the imperative need of the intelligent suggestions offered by our trained county agents. I believe iii this section and I am one of those optimists who can see better times ahead. Improvement, however, is go ing to come about through differ ent methods in the agricultural world ami the change has already begun." Now Living at Hethune ('. L. McManus, who some time ago sold his farm in the Antioch sec tion, is now making his home in the Hethune section of Kershaw county where he has purchased a tract of land near his son-in-law, C. O.
