He placed , hi* proposition before the chamber of commei ce and stated that he would he ready to come to Camdi n at any time to discuss his plans further. It looks to us li'ke an excellent oppor tunity to get a modern hotel under way in Camden if the business men will interest themselves. One local man has signified hi* willingness to J lake quite a nice .sum of the stock, j Encourage Investments There are two ways to encourage i ?investments in industrial undertak- j :ngs. One is the alx>lition of the tav ? xompt privilege r-n certain public j bonds and the <qual taxation of nil] investments. The oilier is the reduc j tion of taxe- now so heavy that, tax- i exempt bonds m cm ti e only way ( i j nyest a large income. The important thing is to keep the n ifion'- money at productive work, j ust as the nation's nu n and women m :ul -machinery of eveiy kind .should ?he at work. the result of equal tax-j at ion tax reduction is that money flow, into indu-tiy, thui making aj maiket for hib'?r and f ? ?? x i and scrvii ? <>f i ?. ? ! y kind.

Attorney *'? M- Tiuluck, for the de fence, made a stirring plea for his client. With tears in his eyes, thU i i s i i k vyoung attorney, urged th'.? jutui* to bring ill a vcrdict of not guilty and send Canawuy home t-j U < family. The testimony of the dnctoj s that the child was suffering from clioHtis and was in a very weak and mn down condition was dwelt On by .Mr. Truluck. Solicitor Frank MeLeod, prosecut ing the case, was equally vehement in his plea foi a verdict of guilt. i|e denounced ('arraway in the most scathing terms. He said the accuses! was nothing more than a brute of the lowest order," who flilled up on mean, coin liquor and proceeded, to abuse his family, not even sparing a young and innocent child. A man that will do a thing like Unit is bead ed straight fur hell and damnation, said the solicitor.: ? Sumter Item, Oct. Kith.

We cannot measure the d<*f glee of a man'- Mirce-i until -we leai .r where h;< goal lies. The popular understanding of su<> cc.is is the getting: ?>f money or fame. It might almost l>e said that tin* popular understanding ? ot* success is the getting of money, for there is little respect for a fame that cannot l>e used as a means of acquiring money.. Fame is advertising, and ad vertising may be cashed at the paying teller's window. The man who acquires great wealth i successful in that particular. If wealth was his goal he dcst'iTes credit. Hut if he had no other goal ami accomplished nothing more he did not make successful use of his brains. If mere getting is success, why deny honor to the safe cracker? Is a man a success if he gct^ money by methods that lose him the respect of his fellows and give him no pleas u 1 1 '.n his own society ?

Our ( rops arc worth billions every year. That's encouraging. In our .mint-* and oil wells arc hundreds of billions- stored away, and that's en couraging-. \ ? . The unused water power of this nation is worth tens of billions, and other tens of billions for irrigation afterward. That's encouraging, and also the fact that in the atmosphere above there arc endless billions worth of nitrogen,' which can be brough* | down by electrical power. Hut there is- a greater wealth, and its figures more important. One single city, New York', has for the first time in its history more than one million children enrolled in its. public school classes. That is the real wealth of today, and the real power of the future. Take away these children, and this , country, . with all its mines, .water power and fertile soil, would amount to as little as it did when a few In ; dians possessed it and spent their time murdering each other. j At the Genesee, N. Y., fair Lit u i teiianUflovemor Lowman arranged to ride one mile on the back of a five ton elephant. The farmers doubtless laughed, as j they saw 150 pounds of human being J carried by 10,000 pounds of elephant. A 10,000-pound elephant will carry on its head one mahout, to guide the back an Knglish gentleman eager to kill a tiger without giving that tiger a chance to kill him. Consider the gap between Kublai i Khan arid automobile manufacturers ; who give you a for few dollars a little machine that will carry seven people f??rt> miles an huur. lairying more j than i t ^ own weight in freight. If our progress in thinking hail i equalled our progress in transporta tion, we should be better off than we are. Riding ovej the desert lands, des tined to he the world's most buautifu! i garden, from Colorado to Arizona you, could not resist buying land, hoping in live there sonw day; at the end of ! your mighty dollar hunt in the East.

You can cut j your alfalfa s?even times a year for j fifteen or twenty years; then plant it again, irrigate it. and nature does ! the rest. The ^o:l also produces democracy. !

Debt Stackers Scored by Judge "A man is not honest if he indulges in extravagances while he is in de6t," said Judge H. H. Watkins, of Ander son, in his charge to the grand jury at the opening erf United States Dis trict couit yesterday morning. The judge classed such a man as a thief and said that he differed from the ordinary thief only in that he did not do his dishonest work under cover of, darkness. The present crime wave was blamed on a general decline in moral sense, said the judge, and blamed many modern comforts, such as the auto mobile, for contributing their part to the condition. "A person is not honest when h? runs a Ford and does not provide satisfactorily for the support of his family," added the judge. Harking: back into the country's history Judge Watkins reminded tb? jurors of the sacrifices that have beea necessary to the growth of the coun try and emphasized that it wa8 the duty of every citizen to do his or her best to uphold the governmental structure thus formed. ?
