With well over two million dollars
on deposit in thfe hanks of this county
as shown by the bank statements on
call at the close of busineaa Decem
ber 31st, this county would seem to
be in a healthier financial condition
than some chronic knockers would
have you believe. The banks of
the county have all had a prosper
ous year ?nd there is no better in
dex to the financial conditions of a
county than a study of the bank
Statements. While there has been
many bank and business failures re*
ported from various sections of the
state Kershaw cpunty seems to be
^unusually well blessed and doing; a
conservative, substantial business.
Since tightening up on the speeders
in Camden observers who take note
on these things see less speeding ami
reckless driving in the city than for
merly. Tfte amount of fines -collected
along these tines by the police de
partment during November amounted
to $146. On account of numerous
automobile accidents orders were is
sued that the police keep a strict
Watich for speeders and durlrfg the
month of December the fines increas
ed to $324. One negro drew a fine
of $75 and a young white man drew
a fine of $40?being the two heaviest
imposed, instead of tho usual small,
fine the minimum fine is now $15
and the speeders are taking notice
of thisi The speed cop has been get
ting in some pretty fair work in
Camden and it -is going to continue.
"If you would 1h> prosperous in tlu*
new year eat hog jowl, ami peas ?>n
the first day," at least that's the re
cipe given by a Sumter market man.
who says that orders foi bog jowl on
New Year's day came in fa.st?aifd fu
rious to his market. .The grocery
store in which his market is situated
reports an unprecedented sale on peas
on the same day and several other
grocery stores here also say that they
had more than the usual number of
calls for peas.
Dr. Edward S. Reaves, pastor of
the First Haptist church of Union,
ljas been mentioned a-s a. possible suc
cessor to Dv. R. W. Sikos, as presi- J
dent of ('ok*W college. I)r. Reaves told
a reporter that he was riot in a posi- ,
tion to state d< finitely, whether or not |
lie would accept t h*? position if In* |
was chosen. The. first he knew of his |
being mentioned in this connection,
he said, was Sunday night after lie
had preached his -regular sermon,
when friends informed him of the
fact. lie is not a candidate <it hi*
own accord, he stated.

WHY NOT ADVKRTI8K?
Taking ? precedent from Califor
nia, Florida is upending thousands
and thousands of dollars on publicity
of it* a??etK as a place of residence,
a* a business prospect* as a tempor
ary playgrounds. The' inevitable is
happening, too; people by the thou
sands are streaming into Florida ev
ery year, to romp in a springtime out
of'doors, to?-buy and iitiprove an or
ange grove, become a resident or to
establish a business.
Florida has thus made the grade
more rapidly than California, becauso
the pace had been set for it by the
western state. For many years, be
ginning long ago, California expend
ed hundreds of thousands of dollars
in expounding its wares in national
publications. There was not so much
| to begin with?only a good climate
and fairly inviting business pros
pects.
Hut the great inflow of Eastern
visitors which poured into California
as they are now swarming in Flor
ida soon expanded the assets of the
State "and California is tnow not only
one of the most prosperous common^
wealths of the country so far as fac
tories, production and general com
mercial affairs are concerned but it
is a recognized pleasure " resort]
throughout the wide world.
North Carolina profits hundreds of
thousands of dollars by having adver
tised itself and now the city of Sa
vannah is mopping up as a resort.
An Important point in the Savannah
publicity campaign is that city Is re
ceiving by far its most valuable pub
licity free of charge, as may be
pointed out by a recent excerpt from
the editorial columns of the Boston
Transcript :
Until within thd past few years
Savannah has been comparatively a
granger, an unknown attraction to
most people in the United States.
1-A'eiy day it is remarked by visitors
in Savannah that they did not know
there was such a beauty spot, and
invariably they put the query: "Why
don't you advertise your attractions,
tell the world what a charming city
this is?"
All of which reminds us that Co
lumbia or Charleston might just as
well be substituted for Savannah and
to a great extent South Carolina
might be placed in the line where
the word Florida how stands. The
sole reason why these cities are not
filled with northern visitors practi
cally all winter is the fact that the
South Carolina cities have not adver
tised their attractions.
There is just as much common
sense in advertising a community, a
county, a State, as there is in ad
vertising a product of food value.
Those who have tried it have found
the bread cast upon the waters com
ing back not only multiplied a thou
sand times, but the bread in many
instances has been buttered and toast
ed. We have plenty of proof on that
point by the showing of North Caro
lina and Georgia on each side of our
borders and by California and Florida
as well.
Governor Mcl.eod suggested about
a year ago that it would pay South
( art'lina if she would .spend at least
a hundred thousand dollar.- in a
national publicity campaign. We en
dorsed the idea then and we are re
iterating mi!' < ndoi-< nn nut of such
pui'iu ity here iu-w. \- it -?with,

The jjovi rni'i. >o i'.u as we recall
never went nto detail about the pub
lieity program, hut we thing the sub
ject of financing such a civic step
would he a paramount nnr for every
business organization of every city
and town in the Palmetto state.
There is r.uw in progress a - plendid
move toward making our hotels not
on!\ ample, hut the last word in
eoinfort. The logical step is to fill
these hotels and bearding houses with j
desirable pet.pie and our neighbors
north, south and west have shown us
how to that trick.?Columbia
