WHAT A VISITOK THINKS
The Chroniele yesterday received
in it mail tin- following 8h0*t but
interesting communication which will
he n ad and appreciated by all of our
people:
"Editor Camden Chronicle: I came
to Camden as a winter visitor for
several years but have not boon here
for the last four winters until this
year. 1 am writing to express to you
my eongrntulations to the people ot'
your beautiful city on the marked im
provement noticeable everywhere,
both in your splondidly paved streets
and in the many new and attractive
homes and business houses, and your
model school buildings, I notice loo
that the yards in many cases are bet
ter kept, showing an evidence of
civic pride which is so commendable
in any community. Camden is a
charming place with a perfect winter]
climate and I predict great prosper
ity for it and its hospitable people.
A Winter Visitor."
Joke on Exi-Governor Evans
While Governor Evans was in New ]
York several years ago, hi? was just !
a potential governor and first citizen j
of his state then, but he was a youth,
who was well able to hoe his own row |
even then. In keeping with his<piouj|
program, as instilled.-into him by his
splendid parents, Mr. Kvans attended I
one of the fashionable Protestant!
Episcopal churches in the metropolis.
Young Kvans entered the church
and observing an unoccupied pew en
tered it and male himself at home
fn a few m'mife* the owner of the
pc\v strolled in. Although there was
plenty of room and to spare, the cool
and lather phlegmatic pew-ownei
glared at the -strange youth. Mr.
Kvans smiled. This was apparently
t<?o much and the pow owner pulled
out his card, and'hastily wrote'on it,
(nnd( r his name): "I paid $2,000 foi
this pew," and harded it to the youth.
The potential governor read it,
hmiled, pulled.out hi-, pencil and wrote
on the reverse side: "V?>u paid too
damn much!" Signed his name, wrote
his address, and handed back the card.

Executive clemency was last year
extended by Governor McLeod to 124

Aadtrson Man Explains Why Market
Does Like It Does
Anderson, S. ('., March Private
estimate* on this year's acreage Is 2
and a quarter acres more than was
planted to cotton last year, and a
yield of, 135 Ibto. seed cotton to the
acre including boll weevils and cuekle
| burs and that the total crop will he
I somewhat in the neighborhood of
I 17,234,253 bales counting round bales,
flat bales, square bales, crooked bale*,
alfalfa bales, linters rags and all
other cotton products not otherwise
enumerated. This estimate put the
bulls to route, and the bears were con
vinced that everything would turn out
just as predicted by this clerk in a
grocery store in Elbert on and the
consequence was that cotton broke 25
points and spots broke 50 points.
Texas has not ginned any cotton so
far this year, but will probably haVe
few bales ready in time to call
the new crop "in sight." VVe.advise
holding.
Yours truly, *
Gee McGee.
