Letters From The People Camden, August UHh. The present-day dictionary defines the word manufactory aim ply us a place where goods arv made from raw materials And in his claim of twelve such plants for. Camden Mr. Sanders, of the chamber of com merce, has remained within competent bounds and scored another conserva tive boost for our city. Without regard to two' textile mills of more than ordinary business pro portions and <the long-debated quesi tion of whore the greater part of their payments in wages directly land I fite among Camden's outstanding manufactories the ice plant, the founi dry, the oil and lumber mills and 'bottling plants and why we should speak with pride of such industries. A fair estimate of the annual operat ing expense of any one of these plants is twelve thousand dollars and of this only a fractional amount cah be traced as expended beyond the city limits. While- a sixty-acre brick yard could hardly bo expected to operate In town it nevertheless carries a large number of local residents on its pay roll and this is handled altogether through Camden banking and busi ness houses. This is an enterprise truly creditable to any progressive community and in the course of any week there passes on to building centers, not only of South Carolina but points more distant, from twelve to fifteen carloads of high quality brick that bear substantial witness to Camden's successful industrial possi bilities. For these manufacturing plants, and others just a? worthy, Camden should.be proud and Camden is proud. In imparting this fact to the end less caravan in its search for brighter and more benevolent settling grounds Mr. Sanders' efforts are belittled by no citizen who would truly progress and, joining with The Messenger, all as one should look toward that day wheu, through its continued activity, our chamber of commerce shall claim manufacturing plants of more than twelve in number. Ferris McDowell. Wateree Plays Bij? Came Wateree plays its biggest game of the season Saturday when they cross bats with the Thrift Manufacturing company of Paw Creek. The game has a double significance as both j teams fepresent Kendall Mills, Inc., and H. K. Hallett, formerly superin tendent of Wateree Mills, *is now man- j ager of the Thrift plant..- ? . . Thrift has a fast team. There is no doubt of this. Sweetenburg, who pitched three years for Clemson, is their mainstay in the box and will pitch against Wateree Saturday. Mc Leod, their shortstop is a former Harvard captain and is very fast on his feet. In the game last Saturday against one of the teams in the Char lotte Textile league, McLeod hit u home run with the bases full. The entire Thrift team i-s made up of fast amateur ball players who can give a good account of themselves. Wateree in turn is playing good ball. They defeated Camden last Sat-, urday 13 to.5. The addition of Swann as catcher and Pearson, outfielder, has strengthened the team greatly. Baker is pitching the best game of his career. In the game against the Columbia Red Sox, which Wateree won 0 to 1 Saturday before last, he, struck out five men in a row. The game Saturday apparently will be a pitcher's battle and should be an interesting one. The Wateree Alills Band will be out in unform to furnish music between innings and before the game. The game will start at 4 p.m., at Wateree field, to which the public is cordially invited. Fish Fry After Game After the ball game Saturday be tween Thrift Manufacturing company of Paw Creek, N. C., and Wateree, the players of the two teams, the mill band and the board of aldermen of ^Wateree Mills and a few invited guests will be tendered a fish fry on the ball field by the Wateree Mills management.

A MESSAGE OF WARNING BY Bowen-Conatser Business University COLUMBIA, S. C. ?Y.v Ww ? To Our Prospective Student*, Patrons end Friend*; The information contained in this message will be of special benefit to you, for it J ?' ' ? ? has saved many a young person from failure. Having been engagod in the commercial school work for over thirty-one years, our Institution i* naturally in a position to point out certain courses of action that you should follow, and to wari^ you of others that you should shun. There are certain causes of failure just as there are certain causes of success. The greatest sin gle cause of success is TRAINING. Tho great est single cause of failure is the lack of training, or the tack ?* thft proper type of training. There are two types of training just as there are two types of schools, ? the reliable and the unreliable. The unreliable type of training is advertised very much like the reliable type, and it is difficult sometimes to determine from (ad vertising which is genuine. There is only one way to come to a sate conclusion. Demand of the school proof that it is really indorsed and recom mended to young people by the leading employ ers of the community in -which it operates or proposes to operate. Are its graduates success ful? Who and where are they? What salary are they commanding? Is it truly a well-estab-. lished, standard and fully accredited institution, ?or is it a fly-by-night, mushroom type that ap pears in a day and then disappear almost as quickly? The student who attends the mushroom type of school is headed toward FAILURE and disap pointment instead of toward SUCCESS and hap piness. Many young men and women are humilia ted beeause they misjudged the school and failed to acquire the type of education which alone would qualify them to mingle on terms of equality with well-informed people. We warn you not to spend your time and money in the mushrom schools that are on a con tinual shift from 6ne place to aaetherT-usually | from one state to another. The fact that stocn schools never remain in one place but a few months, is good evidence that there is nothing permanent about them. They have no stability. They offer nothing of permanent value to young people or to tho community in which they tem porarily locate. The training they offer is merely a smattering of u business course. They cannot qualify anyone for a responsible place; however, they picture to 'young people the "Promised Land" and offer them its contents if they will but join their school. The teachers employed by many of them are very limited in both training and experience. How can they prepare young people for responsible places when they them selves Are so limited in education and experience'.' Tho tuition may cost less in such schools, but the cost of a business traiuing is not measured in terms of tuition charges uml bound bills. It goes deeper than that. Ono must coonsider the future. Tho earning capacity after one has completed his course should -De t-no determining factor. Tho earnings of one's entire life are involved. Com pare the cost with the income in la.ter years and you \v?J4 quickly see that a cheap business train ing i? one of the costliest thing's in the world. It may cost a few dollars less now, but in tho end, it will cost far mora No one wants tho unreliable type of training It is worthless. The school that offers it is. a humbug ? a makeshift. Such a training is a hia derance, a handicap, Instead of a help. To con sider it means a loss of time and money, and sure disappointment* Now, let us look at the other type, the reliable type, of business training that is given by well established, standard and fully accredited institu tions. The Bowen-Conatser Business Univer sity, for example, has been preparing young peo ple for and placing them in good positions during the last thirty-one years. Not only does it place its graduates in good positions, but it assists them from time to time in advancing from the first position to something better and better. This school has built up prestigo among tho business moiji and other employers of this entire section of tho country. Employers know that when the B-C. B. U. places its stamp of approval upon a young porson's character and ability that the young man or woman is dependable. Therefore business men recommend the B-C. B. U. and prefer its graduates. It prfVs big dividends for life to attend a busi ness school that is thoroughly and permanently established and recognized. It-costs more to be ffin with, but the small difference will come back to you a hundred fold. The value of the training during tho years to come is what counts most, Keep this well in mind. Don't become mistaken or fooled in this im portant matter. Don't let anyone misinform you. In the final analysis, you yourself are the judge. ?>ecide wisely; act judiciously. Attend the school that is known for its integrity-? the school that is ablo to teach you in a modern, up to-date way, and then able to place you in an honorable position, then in later years you can look back with pnde and know that your school days contributed to a lasting achievement. Attend a good school. The B-C. B. U. in a Kood school and welcomes you as a student.
