The CAMDEN chronicle II'. !>. Nil. ^ KJiior and Publinher^ Published every Friday at No. 110# Hroad Street and entered at the Cam* den, South Carolina, postoffiee as second clas* mail matter. Price per annum $2.00. Cuntdcn. S. Friday, Oct. f?, 19'2."?. Christy Matthcwson, idol of the na t ion's bast ball fandom over a space of more than two decades, and one of the greatest pitchers the game has over kno\vn, died at Saranac Lake, Mew York, Wednesday night from tubercular pneumonia. Matthewson was a world war veteran and was gassed in France. It is said of him that he was a symbol of the highest type of American sportsmanship. The Chronicle f? this week carrying the statements of the si* banks 01 Camden and Hethilne. The statement in on call at the clone of. business September 2Xth, ami shows those banks to be in excellent condition. A compilation shows that there is $267,017.40 on deposit in the banks of BethunC and *2, 080. .'JG 1.20 on deposit in the banks of Camden, making a total of $2,330,1170,75 for the county, and this does not include one of the banks at Kershaw located on the Kershaw county, side. We do not hnvA the figures for this bank. It is a good showing and the savings habit among pur people is growing despite the fact that there are .so many spend ing money for {futomobiles. We don't like to be* pessimistic ? j and it is considered particularly bad j form to give vent to a pessimistic I note in a public way? but there's so | much truth in the following article from the Union Daily limes that s. just as applicable to Chester county i as to Union that we are moved to reproduce it: "Talk about hard tinic^ in these parts, there aint no such animal. At leas', there is this to say: The people are going right ahead piling up debts Credit seems to be ? jUite' free, it' one is to judge from the .mortgages recorded in the clerk ? >{ court's books from September 1st 10 September 2Gth. The nifty sum of S2a,.'lX1.2? has been recorded for that period of 20 days. \N e are not rais ing the question of a man's, light to go ujto debt, not even for an auto mobile. Hut we do- say that we are going dangerously near to a situation that spells trouble -in the, future. When all our cash is invested and in addition, we must use our credit in iHe sum of $25,000 in 20 days ? al most a thousand dollar* a day, for one article, an article that many could do without, we ?hould not com plain when conditions become hard financially. It 's not our right to say to a man, 'You shall not do this. Hut we do say that it is dangerous, dangerous in the extreme. Before the $25,000 borrowed by mortgage on automobiles is paid there will be paid least ten ot twelve thousand iu interest. It would save the people much money did they but wait until ?.hey are able t" pay cash for the automobile. Automobile.* and good s .ads have i?>nspired to bankrupt th" unt'y, :: -eem>.

This proposed official interstate highway U th* logical way to Char leston from O.arlolte a fid th? mMdl? section of North Carolina Just as the Coastal Highway and it* auxiliaries : jby was i.t' < la raw, Uenncttsville an 1 -Diiioij it rt- the logical way from Kast ejn North Carolina and routes by way of Spartanburg and (Jruenville from Western North Carolina. To continue this thought, the Coastal Highway westward of Charleston is the logical way from South (.Jeorgia and the Charleston-Augusta highway from Other sections of (ieorgia. These things are cited to show that Charles ton iti a paramount radial point for highways in this state. As the News and Courier has je? peatedly pointed out, the bridging of the San tee river has done very much more than to make possible the Coastal Highway; by itself, this would be ample justification for tho investment. The bridge provides di rect communication with Charleston ,by highway through the entire area north, northeast and northwest of the San tee river; The coupling of Charleston, Manning, Sumter, Cam den, Lancaster and Charlotte by an official highway would be of benefit to all the countryside about these towns and would stimulate the al ready,, well known desire to improve the surface of the highway. Road builders declare that there are two salients in improving routes: the most direct way arid the greatest good to the greatest number. By both of these standards, the closer linking of these several highways is desirable. ? News and Courier, 28th. 20,855 Marriages in 1921 Washington, I). C., Oct. 7. ? The De partment of Commerce announces that, according to returns received, there were in South Carolina, for the calendar year 1924, 20,855 marriages j performed. For the calendar year I 1923, 20,511 marriages were reported, j The increase in marriages reported) for 1924, over the number reported . for 1923 is .314, or 1.7 per cent. The statistics of marriages fori 1921 were furnished by the Judge of I , Probate Court of each county. The; figures are preliminary and subject to correction. i The figures for Kershaw County j ? ? U m I show there we're* 325 marriages re-> ! ported in 1924 as compared to 305 j in 1923. All border counties, such as Aiken, Cherokee, Greenville, t>Marl- ' boro, Spartanburg and York show U! eater increases in vie-w of the fact that North Carolina requires a medi cal' examination an?j couples come ! across the line in order to avoid this. <;abmn<;s of cef vicckk The Anderson Daily Mail's Clever ( 'oluninist I heard tlu; following conversation '? between two Anderson county farm eis this morning: "Howdy do, L> i 1 1 .

The state of Washington plans gigantic water power developments. Hank* in. Seattle reflect general pros perity in the , Northwest. Those Seattle hanks will need bigger vaults and capitalization increased by a bil lion, when the power begins its work. Maine will harness 700,000 horse power in the Ray of Fundy. The plan approved by voters and scien tific exports calls for one hundred millions, rower enough will be pro duced to, supply the whole of New England, and ten times one hundred million would not equal the value of such power. In waterpower and the electric force generated lies not the hope, but the certainty uf prosperity beyond imagination. London is agitated because the great art collection of Lord Lever hulme, successful soap maker, is to be sold in New York City, not in London. This is said to mean that the art center of the world has moved from London to New York, but that isn't so. The money center has moved, and in as in the days of the Medici, art goes where money is. "How can I succeed?" is answered by Judge Gary thus: "Listen. Let the other man do at least half the talking." Judge Gary, of course, puts hon esty ahead of all other qualities. And honesty is important, although I Judge Gary knows more enterprises I have been wrecked by honest fools than by dishonest knaves. "The average man likes to hear himself talk too much," says Judge Gary. Salesmen should remembei ! that. Thousands of them talk them i selves into a sale, then talk them j selves out again. When you meet a customer remember the advice of Aristotle, who was the Judge Gary [ of his day. "Not too much, not too ! little." i A poor o!d maid of Massachusetts, called "poor," not because she was I an old maid, but because she spent fifty-six years in the insane asylum, has just died. While she was in the ! asylum her small fortune increased to $2,000,000, to be divided now among seven nieces. "Money runs into money" rapidly in this country, if you give it any sort of an opportunity. What becomes of all the money the people earn? Why does the average American die with about enough to bury him or her? The Deputy Attorney General of New York shows where some of the money goes. Bogus stock sales alone take $500,000,000 from the people of the state each year. Kven that leaves a good deal of money for other swind lers to take. Kvidence at the Shenandoah in \c?.t ijrat ion -how*, that Commander I.. i nsdou r.e. who understood flying, protested against taking hi> ship thi'-uyh the storm belt of the Middle We ? t , and a >ked for a postponement.

Be ?au>e hi* advice iv;i> not taken, Lans dowr.e was killed. Who i- responsible for his death? And how good a suit for damages have his widow and the other Shenan doah widows against those that sent their husbands to death?

It will amaze you to read the various kinds of "despair" listed by Professor Glenn Frank, new president of the University of Wisconsin. There n biological fear, political fear, economic fear, historical fear, administrative fear, moral fear. These fears can all be boiled down into one word, "nerves."
