A CluurirtK Word From One of Our
Northern Visitor*
Mr. H, ii. Sanders, Secty., ( ham
byr of Commerce, Camden, S. C.
Dear Sir: When I first visited
('amdi'ii four jtiMfrf "go, you were <>\
assistance to me in sovcral ways and
I recall with appreciation your COUr
, u-sy and the advantage* ?>f the *er?
vice rendered l?y the Chamber of
I'omniei'ce, Other visitors have told
me that they have been similarly
helped to know the possibilities of
. Camden and its surroundings,
1 cannot go away without wishing
you continued success in. your work.
It must be difficult. i
Since my first visit, I notice
changes f(?r the better in Camden,
(jood roads (for automobiles, while
they discourage the use of horses In
town, certainly prevent dust ami
n\ake the increasing use of motors
more logical. Many old houses have
been-put.in order and beautified and
the gardens show more extensive ex
primenting with lawns and hitherto
untried I lowering things. Trees are
better guarded, and more are being
planted. Shops ore groater in num
her and carry better stocks.
But the greatest pleasure that your
town brings to me, as a northern
visitor, is its unspoiled American
character. In New Yorkf? we are so
overborne by (foreign way* and
tongues and the jrreat distances be
tween our friends that it is no Ion-,
ger a characteristic American place.
Its confusion is so great that we find
in the peace of Camden a calming
relief.
~ T \v<vnder It' Camden people fxilly
appreciate the advantages for their
children in having refined companion
ship and a chance for out of door
fun without association with dissi
pa ted or over-luxurious people?
If I ha<l young chUdren to bring up,
1 should choose Camden for them
with its good climate most of the
year, with churchea and schools thnt.l
can give individual attention in. train
ing, and - practically no foreign ..influ
ences to counteract attempts to make
good citizens of the young people.,
1 have f>een very .much interested
in seeing the community market
which must arouse eo-opi ration be
iween the towns people and those of
the remote plantations. It has. also,
been my privilege to se ? the work of
oi>?* of your county demonstration
agon*s which seem, to me, of great
v .title.
Hoping that your work will r< ceiv.
encouraging co-operation . from town
people and visitors, I am,
\ el y .sineerel.v your?.,

day afternoon, Mr. Thos. V. Walsh,
his broiher, remained with him. Be

got out of bed and went into the bath
room, where ho remained a few min
utes and then returned to his btsl.
A few moments later Mr. Thomas
Walsh observed that something was
wrong with his brobber. An effort
was made to obtain a physician at
once. Dr. II. L. Shaw was the first
to he reaohed by telephone and when
he. arrived Mr. Walsh was in a dying
condition and expired almost imme
diately. A bottle containing a rem
nant of carbolic aoid was found in
the hath room, and there were con
vincing evidences that Mr. Walsh
had swallowed a large dose of the
acid, .,
The deceased was sixty-four years
