Camden, S. C? 'Friday, Sept. II, 1925.
Fostered by t hi* Chamber of Com
merce the merchants of Catifden are
invited to join in an intensive adver
tising campaign during the month of
October in an effort to bring new
trade to Camden now that the fall
trade has opened up In earnest, The
merchants will be asked to offer
special inducements in the way of
prices and goods. The two news
papers will join heartily in the move
ment. Camden's . cotton buyers are
paying the highest market price and
in a gnat many instances are con
siderably higher than other South
Carolina towns. The merchants
carry well selected stocks, Camden is
a trading center for not only Ker
shaw county, but many of the ad
joining counties. It is hoped that all
will join heartily in the movement.
ICdwaid A. McDowell, private sec
retary to Governor MeJLeod, has re*
signed his position to enter the
Southern Uaptist Theological Semi
nary at Louisville to study for the
ministry. He is succeeded by Ed
ward I'. Hodges, an attorney of
Columbia.
His Ad Cot Results
Disgusted by the indifferent atti
tude of a bunch of local deadbeats, a
grocer ran this "reader" in his local
weekly :
"If a certain no-account woul4
spend less time flirting with the new
school teacher and more time earning
his living, 1 wouldn't complain about
the account he has owed me for so
long. Unless he pays me before next
week I'm going to tell you more about
him, so you will all know whom I am
referring to."
Within an hour after the weekly
paper was in the postnft'ice ? one
chronic dead beat sneaked in the back
door, threw down some, bank notes
on the boss' desk and said:
"Say, Harry, dog-gonnet! I jus*
happen to remember I owe you some
money since a couple years ago last
spring. Take it out of this, won't
you, please?"
Then there came another and an
other? and they kept coming, until
the merchant's night arm was palsied
from writing "Received in - full." ?

Publicity is Power
Newspaper advertising is the most
effective method of reaching the larg
est number of people in the. shortest
space of time and for the least
amount of money, according to Sir
.Charles Iligham, well-known Kngiish
advertising expert, in a recent treat
mc on advertising in general. News
papers arc never likely to be dis
placed as advertising media, he says,
because of their wide distribution and
the differing varieties of people who
read them. For the quick distribution
of information, for an appeal to the
millions, for the marketing of nation
al commodities, no medium is as val
uable to the newspapers, lie declared.
All w hit }?> the advertising au
thorities accept. Another idea. Pub
!.rit\ is power for the merchant. A
merchant who "would icfuse to light
his ? stabli.>!,.iu nt v\i'.h ele.iiicity
would be regarded .1- very peculiar,
to say the kindest thing of him. So,
the man who depend* upon doing
busino s with the public nuiM have
that public Know what business h<
wants to do with t. And his only
contact i- through tli distribution of
this information. If he does not tap
the line he will r.ot get the service.

He may think he i-. but he is not. He

America'* Enemy ? Fut
What is more dangerous than ocean
travel, ruling on railroads, or flying
in an airplane?
The answer, given by Mr. Johnson,
of the National Life Insurance Com
pany, is fat.
9 _ *
Fat Kills Americans more rapidly
than anything else. Fatty degenerar
tion of the heart kills many. Fat
accumulates on middle-aged business
men, and that kills them before their
time.
In old age especially fat is dan
gerous. And in old age it is most
difficult to get rid of dangerous fat.
The heart won't stand exercise that
might, take the fat off. The feeble
will cannot control diet.
The safest place in the world as
regards accidents is the cabin of a
big steamship on the ocean.
Next in safety conns a railroad
train, and before long the flying
machine will be safer than either.
The man in greatest danger is the
fat man past middle age, eating
heartily and hurriedly when he is
tired. Don't insure him.
liood news for little automobile
owners. Gasoline prices are stashed
all over the country. Yesterday, ill
Eastern territory, the cut was three
cents a gallon. In the Middle West
many buy gas under 14 cents. It
makes a big difference to those that
count the cost of living and motoring.
It means nothing to the big men;
they don't care what gasoline costs.
And many of them, owning oil stocks,
feel rather sad. A three-cent cut if i I
gas may mean a $.'10 drop in oil]
stocks.
A Short-Ilorn Hull
A short-horn bull was sold in the
Argentine Republic recently for $00,
OOO/record price for that breed. The
real record is- the "price paid in thus
country by the Carnation Farms Com
pany for a Uolstein bull ? $102,000.
These prices show what can be
done by breeding among animals.
Vou can iret a perfectly good hull
for $40. Hut a little change in the
shape of the animal, produced by a
careful selection of the mysterious
chromosomes, makes a big difference.
Students of eugenics think careful
breeding will produce equal improve
ment in human beings. They are
mistaken.
A Kool to the Earth
(.earned men, including churchmen,
once taught that there was a roof to
this earth. -olid, held up by its own
strength and called the. sky.
Whcr. (Jaileo' denied it and said the J
ear tli was a Vrouhd ball whirling '
around tho sun, he had to get down I
i?ii hi> knees saying that he "re
tracted, abjured and abhorred his'
false teachings" ? which happened to j
be perfectly true.
'!"!.<? idea of a solid .sky above u>. j
with, -tars planted in it here an!
there, faded out. Uut now the radio,
expeils ol' the Navy say the earth j
aelual!\ has a "roof" of another kind, j
! It exist*', presumably. where our thin'
at no.-; phere melts away into the ether,'

The "imponderable ether." so dense i
that solid steel in comparison is like j

phere. 1

hi' abie to travel outside that atmos-1

ether wave that will take messages

MKNACKItIK A FKATUBK
Wild Animal* Secured From All
Comers of the Olobe
The remarkable unci complete col?
lection of trained wild animal actors,
comprising the most important speci
mens of. zoology assembled in the
wild beasts' performance which I'm m
an imposing part of Christy Bros,
trained wild animal shows, which will
exhibit in Camden on Tuesday, Sip
(ember U'J, giving two performances
and X p.m.? has never been
equalled in the history; of the world.
No corner of the globe has been con
sidered too remote to make this col
lection the most unique on earth.
Chief among these wonderful
creatures is a wild leopard, a mag
nificent animal of feline grace and
turriblo power, with its many pecul
iarities riding on the back of an ele
phant. A troupo consisting of six
lionesses, two sheep and two dogs,
all working together as one happy
family. There are many other fea
tures too numorous to mention.
The equestrian sensation of the day
is the introduction of a score of high
school horses. The act includes
twenty most beautiful steeds, the
finest thoroughbreds that could be
procured. These horses go through
their evolutions, dances and various
tricks with a promptness that would
do credit to a child. Tho riders are
all experts and six of the horses and
riders do some exclusive steps and
perform a series of ball room steps
that are sensational in every move.
A brand new street parade will be
on the streets at noon. Not the old
parade of former years, not the
parade like that of any other show,
but one of greater magnitude and
novelty that has gathered strangeness
and strongth and beauty during many
years travel. It is a wonderful
.world's exposition. Years have been
spent in the gathering of it and for
tunes lavished on its execution.
Trying to Pull Out of a Hole
K^travagdnce and poor judgment
send most people to the bankrupt
courts. Rather than cut out luxuries
.and automobiles they make others
pay for them. Some just go in as a
short cut to easy money. Not long
ago, creditors forced a little fellow
into bankruptcy. They turned the
grindstone long enough to learn that
they had put the rabbit in the briar
patch. The creditors then began to
back pedal. They saw they were
being scratched instead of the rabbit.
They proeeeded lo offer an amusing
compromise. They said in substance:
"Look here, old Bo, we are ready to.
trade. If you will pay the expenses
of the lawyer and the court we will
withdraw the suit and go home." Tho
story goes that the rabbit smiled and
said: "This is your rat-killing, not
mine. On with the dance and let joy
be uneonfined." ? Calhoun Times.
?BEATING THE TRAIN"
.Man in Locomotive Tolls How ft
Keels to See Motorist Racing
What the engineer 111 the cab ex
periences when u motorist is trying
to beat this train to a crossing is
deserfbed by Engineer Ben C'ragdon
of the Rock Inland lines in a recent
issue of The Rock Island Magazine:
"If you were on the river bank,"
the engineer says, "and saw a little
ehild running toward the river, sure
to fall in unless it stopped, and you ,
were powerless to help it, you might
realize the position in which the engi
neer is placed almost daily, and some
times several times a day, by the au
tomobile drivers who wil! take
chances.
"The longest and the slowest
freight train ? say, one-half mile long,
traveling at the rati* of fifteen miles
an hour ? will take but two minutes
to pass a given point, and a passen
ger train will take about ten seconds.
Would you bet that much time
against a chanco of death?
"Is it not a fact that passenger
trains arc sometimes mistaken lor
freight trains, and that watching
for a train coming in one direction
taki s your attention from a train
coming in the opposite direction?
Some awful accidents have happened
in just this way.
"I have seen a man driving a ear,
vsith his wife and children In it, race
for the crossing, with all their atten
tion on the train t.hey were trying
to beat, and. v\hwn they got across,
?<rnile and wave at the engineer ? and
just avoid being hit by a train from
the opposite direction!
"There i- a distance at \shich the
diivcr should not attempt to cross
ahead of the train with safety, and
at that distance the engineer will
sound the warning whittle. From
our evper :eiie? in watching automo
bile drivers at lailroad crossings wv
know that mo.-t driver* are careful.
It is to those who are not rareful4hat
we make- this appeal, for the engineer
is in a position to know the desperate
chances you are taking because he
has too often seen the unfortunate
result* in loss of life and projferty
damage eauted by your mistake*/*

Tire Prices Are LOW
CRUDE RUBBER HIGHEST IN YEARS
Buy Now and Save Money!
The unprecedented demand
for Firestone quality and
mileage has more than dou
bled the sales of Gum- Dipped
Cords to car owners so far
this year, enabling us ? be
cause of this tremendous vol
ume ? to keep prices low.
? Experienced car owners
insist on tires that deliver the
greatest mileage at the low
est cost per mile, because
such tires last longer ? make
the restricted rubber supply
go further ? reduce crude
rubber costs ? and help
maintain the present
low tire prices.
Gum-Dipping, the
Firestone extra process, is also
one of the biggest and most
important economy factors in
tire performance. This meth
od of treating cord fabric,
developed by Firestone tire
chemists and engineers, insu
lates every fiber of every cord

withstand the extra flexing
strain ? insuring maximum
safety, comfort and economy.
