Camden, S. (\, Friday, Sept. IK,
Mother love! J low few of us know
what it means! A few days ago a
terrible forest fire was raging junt
west of the mill of the Camp Mann
fftCtOrtTlJ? ( 'ompany, in West Marion.
The entire force of workmen from
the big planing mill fought for hours
to ?a?ve null property. The following
day some small boys from the mill
village went out into the burned area
"to nee what they could see." A few
hundred yards from the mill they dis
covered a wild turkey hen, roasted
upon her nest. Upon moving her*
dead body the little boys found a nest
of young turkeys, saved from the
fiery blasts by the <jend body of the
brave mother. The little orphans
were gathered up by the boys and
taken home, where the story was told.
Mother love? Here is the best ex
ample of it that we have noted In a
long, long time. It Is a story worth
remembering,^? Mai ion Stnr.y.

should Hp Go To Florid*?
The following query ha* been put
to us:
"I am a young wall, holding a
clerk'# job which pays me fairly well.
I have a good education. Ikit I have
no special skill for any sort of work,
I have no money to invest "there, hut
1 am thinking of going to Florida to
get a job, a*?I have read so much
about tho opportunities for money
making there. What would you ad
vice me to do ?"
No attempt to give advice will be
made here,1 but some information
which has come to us from a trust
worthy source in Florida will be
passed on to this young man.
Undoubtedly much money ia being
made in Florida in real estate, but
this young man, having no money, is
not interested in that now.
There is derrtand for labor and
skilled labor in Florida, according to
our Information, but young men with
out means who cannot or will not do
that are pouring into the state by the
thousands. The majority of them are
not making a living, declares our in
formant, although some are making
money. There is very little work for
those who wish to work in clerical
positions and, on the average, the sal
ary is insufficient to meet living
expense*. In fact, we are told that
some young men of education capable
of doing work which would win them
a good living elsewhere, are. actually
going hungry.
The cost of living is a most im
portant factor to be considered by
this young man in reaching his de
cision. The charge for laundry is
l-represented to us as excessive. Room
rent is high in proportion to salaries
paid and there is strong prospect
that, with the ever-increasing influx
into, Florida, rentals ? will ? increase.
Food is not cheap.
hi short, the situation is that, while
money is plentiful in Florida, it prob
ably would be hard for a young man
of such qualifications as our *jues
tioner to earn a living. , |
The foregoing information is based]
on conditions on the west coast of j
Florida, but reports from the east j
coast are declared to be similar.
Of course if this young man has
been offered a definite position which
he is assured will pay him a good
margin over living expenses and, if
he is competent for it, the case is al
tered.
If, on the other hand, he is think
in* of going to Florida to prospect
tor a job, a* miners eift sand in
uttircfo of gold, he iH taking no traall
chance of giving up u good job at
home for one that may or may not
exist in the Laid of Flower*. If ho. i s
| going to do that,- ho will be wl?e to
keep enough money for railroad faro
home against the possibility that ii
I might be needed.? The Piedmont.
Death of Arooa Mungo
In the death last Thursday of
Amo* Mungo, at hi* home in Flat
Cri'ik township, the county loses one
of its mo?t unique citizens and th?; :
largest landowner in the county. Ml. j
Mungo's educational advantages had j
been meagre, but he was an indefati
gable worker and a good organiser, j
He had the faculty of getting the re
spect and confidence of his tenants
and wage hands to such an extent
that the amount of effective work
which he was able to secure measured
far above that obtained by the aver- 1
age farmer. He 'added to his holdings
from time to time until he was the !
owner of hundreds of acres of valu- j
able farm and timber lands in Lan- ;
caster counties. /Mr. Mungo was in
his 7,'ird year and is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Sallie Hilton and
a large family of grown sons and
daughters. The funeral services were
held Friday afternoon at il o'clock in
Flat Creek Baptist church, by the
Rev. Thorny Falle, assisted by Rev,
1 George Smith of Kershaw and Rev.
i Barnes . Caston. The funeral was at
i tended by a large gathering of friends
land family connection from all. over
the eastern section of the county, in
cluding many of his colored tenants
' and employes. Among those who at
tended from Lancaster were Messrs.
W. T. Gregory, Toy Gregory, Jos W.
Knight, John McManus, O. R. Bell,
Sheriff Hunter, Policeman Joe tJyrd.

Married
Mr. R. B. Blyther, of Camden, and
Miss Vera Barnes, daughter of Mi\
H. N*. Barnes, of Camden, were mar
ried in Sumter on Thursday after
noon, Rev. H. F. Collins, performing

Business in Rood.
Business is good. Tell that to your
inquiring friends. The value of crops
will be ten thousand million dol
lars. Farmers are more cheerful,
prices good.
Commercial business in cities is
improving steadily. Extraordinary
showings will be made for August by
many departmetit stores and other
big institutions.
Pity Poor New York.
The state of New York pities itself
because it pays $500,000,000 income
tax, almost a third of the entire na
tional tax.
New Yorkers shouldn't forget that
il they pay $500,000,000 it is because
forty-seven other States send all their
wealth to New York banks, spend
millions in New York shops and
hotels, and allow New York's high fi
nance to tap -with its corporations and
its interlocking ownerships sources'
of wealth all over the United States.
Since New York gets the income, it
should be content to pay the tax.
"President Coolidge will le^ve the
toal situation .for the present to
Congress and hopes there will be no
profiteering in the meantime." So
? ends the dispatch.
That reminds vbg TAOA OOOOO
That is a kirgc* hope, for "in the
meantime" many deealers have raised
the price fifty cents a ton. With the
public, panic-stricken, rushirig to buy,
that means comfortable profiteering.

There is no life emptiness, except
in the brain. Keep that busy and life
is all right, even if your daughters
are married and your husband dead.
The next generation will read
about "tin* navy patrolling the route"
to save the fliers if necessary, and
that will seom as strange as to send
an automobile with <a carrier pigeon
in case it should fall down.
Mr. Konkle in New York, to. prove
gratitude for the recovery of his
son, supposed to be hopelessly ill, will
build a 65-story building, partly re
ligious, partly commercial, made up
of a church and a hotel, with 4,500
bedrooms. Ten per cent of profits
-Will go to missionary work, looked
aiter by the son. The father will
look after the profits.
The dining rom will hold 2,000 in
the tallest building, thus far, in the
United States.
This religious building contrasts
interestingly with the old sinful Tow
er of Babel, which probably was about
one-half the proposed height of this
65-story hotel. ?
The great Bernard Shaw, in a mood
of unusual but accurate humility,
says the world a thousand years
hence will know nothing about him
except that the gre&t French sculptor
Rodin, once made a bust of Shaw, bio'
graphical dictionaries will contain
this:
"Shaw, Bernard; subject of a bust
by Rodin; otherwise uuknown."
Even that's an overstatement, for
in a thousand years Rodin won't be
remembered any more than Shaw.
Rodin in art, 1,000 years from now
will foe as unimportant as Kipling in
literature or Shaw 'lu philosophy.
Thinking is Hard.
After the war broke out, the Czar
put Russia on a cold water basis,
.stopping the sale of vodka absolute
ly.
This column then suggested that
absence of whiskey would mean njore
cold thinking by Russians, and that
one result of such thinking would h*
the absence of the Czar. That proph
ecy was fulfilled.
Now Bolshevism restores vodka to
its old alcoholic power ? about forty
per cent.
Men to whom thinking is new dis
like the unpleasant sensation and ef
fort.
And governments that want to rule
I in peace find tiheir work easier when
the crowd ruled is well supplied with
whiskey.
William Newton, a stockman of
Adams Run, 'had the misfortune last
week to have his horse killed under
him by a rattlesnake while herding
cattle near that place.
