Next Wednesday will 999 the open ing of the annual Kerahaw County ?Fijir at the fair grounds, Renown as the baseball park, and no doubt will iein large er<ny<U attaint tor the three days. Tents will house the ex* h'ibits arid information secured from the |?f omote.r* is t?? the effect that creditable exhibits will greet the pub lic- in all lines. The custom of^ hold ing a fair here annually has grown ?in favor and each year sees orte bet ter and bettor. Those in charge have been busy for weeks netting the fanners interested ??> all departments and they believe they will have an altogether creditable display in all lines. You should attend this annual Kct-to-ffether and meet your friends at the Fair. ^ Plans have 'been drawn and are now on display at the office of the Camden Chamber of Commerce fov an eighty-five room commercial hotel for Camden and if present plans of the Chamber of Commerce carry out a modern handsome hotel will prob ably be erected here in the near future. In Rock Hill recently a like hotel costing around #250,000 was financed and the funds raised within a day or two ? in fact very little outside cupital was necessary. Much of the tourist travel as well as commercial men now pass up Camden on account of the fact that the hotel facilities here arc not sufficient to take rare of the business. Much of this busim^s could be attracted here if the necessary ac commodations could 'be had. The proposed plans call for nn eight story building; and with a huge electric sign on the' top could be seen above all other houses. It would be the greatest advertising proposition ever put over in Camden and until this is done there is not mueh use to attempt any other advertising for the lack of a modern hotel- building has been this city's greatest drawback for many years. Here is something good from t ho Detroit Free Press, and should b<.? used in Building ami Loan advertise ments: "The longing for a home has al ways been ?it is and always will be ? the one universal desire of mankind.

W i / : Tux Money 1h Our Kent Invcatment This letter is suggested because I have recently heard so much com* plaint concerning high taxcvs. The tax paying, season is again upon us. Inasmuch as there seems to be a constitutional dislike in the breast of tho average patriot toward* paying out money called "taxes," re gardless of how much, or how little, or what for, it might be a good thing for uk to stop and study a hit about this vory prosaic subject. Tax money U the. best money w> spend, and close alonfc with it is what we devote to the support of our churches and other beneficent institu ti?>n Taxation is the foundation stone of all our -governmental super structure. ? [' Taxation has always been a sore spot with most of us. This should not be. True, there have been abuses of the taxing power. But with the progress being made, these problems are being bettor handled. Our great< ost concern should be, first, to see that competent and honest men are placed in office to direct our govern mental affairs, and second, to insist that public funds ^be administered wisely and economically. Without taxation there could be no govern ment, and without goveinment, there would be no protection to the home, to society, to business, or to our reg ular religious institutions. Jtfut. forgetting these plain and evi dent facts, we are prone to become disgruntled when the hand of the government is reached out for the financial support to which it in en titled, and which it must have. There are a comparatively few people including those of small means, who by age. or disease have lost all, or the greater part of their earning capacity, upon whom the pay ment of any tax is a burden. But this has always been true, and will 1 always he the case. This should not argue against the justice or the nec essity of government taxation. The rule nuiet obtain "the greatest good to the greatest number," nnd to this must be added the accepted truth that what is good for the masses, makes good foe the individual; that ?when, one man or one class or one section enjoys prosperity, the interest of Jill others is at least in some meas ure advanced. The obligation of the government which represents the people in mass, to the weak, the poor, the ignorant, the helpless, manifests itself in con crete form in manifold ways. From tire taxation system ro:ne our hos pitals, alms houses, public schools, and other like institutions supported by public taxation, and this consti tutes the chief glory of our civiliza tion. Our public school system could only have been built up, and can only be . maintained by the aid of the state, the county and the city, and when our legislators .will make better provision for our counts h.gh schools, then they will have wrought well, and receive the grateful thanks of a grateful public. What we of South Carolina need is more and better municipal high schools, with better pay fot our teachei's. No one, in the light of all the facts, should decry the principal of public education, oz lift a hand or voice, or vote uithho'd from our schools every dollar that can bo rightly and leasnnabl) raised and spent upon thiir equipment and operation. Our government is committed to this policy. Our very life as a nation depends upon bringing up moral and intelli gent citizenship. No business, no property is worth anything where schools and churches do not flourish. In our efforts to guard taxation and to ram more dollars into our pockets, we run the risk of losing all that is really worth while in this life, or that which in jwst ahead of us. We spend millions for jails and penitentiaries and courts and officers, and electrio chairs, and the incidental expenses necessarily accruing, when we should realize that crime springs largely from ignorance. We spend millions foolishly, without wincing, and then struggle manfully to hold back a few pennies from the tax gatherer's till on the score of poverty, forgetting that most of our tax money goes to enrich our bixlies, our souls and our posterity.

The Protestant Kpincopal Church House of Bishops definitely removes "obey" from the marriage ceremony. Many married ladies had already re moved It from the routine of daily life, common sense telling them that if marriage is not an equal partner ship, it isn't much. The old idea about women is dying out not too soon. British husbands no longer are allowed toy law to beat their wives with a stick "uo thicker than the thumb." The French un written law gave fathers authority over thoir children, according to Weatenmarck, on the theory that the child was the property of th? Smother, [ and the mother was the property of the father. The Moors, according to the same Westermarck (see "Origin and De velopment of Moral Ideas"), believed that old men became saints and old women witches. Breach of promise cases prove that old men become foolish and old women have to he very patient. In New York ?City a group of fool-, j ish young ?nen seek to charter a cor | poration to encourage, atheism, and l "destroy the power of church and Clergy." Quite a program, but the t judge wouldn't let- it go through. In Russia, on the other hand, a delegation of orthodox priests and bishops begged the government "for an equal civil status with citizens of the Soviet State." The priests asked the right to pub lish religious literature and have for their children (priests of the Greek church marry) the same education as | is given to the children of peasants. [ The Ru^MJlN Government said no. Russian women also show intelli gence fighting an attempt to reduce | thi- marriage age for girls below six teen, declaring that a girl at sixteen is "only a baby." She is more than that, but it is foolish to let her marry | younger than sixteen. The right law would be no marriage under twenty. The mother gives to the child health, strength, plus moral character, and many other good qualities. She should wait until strength and health are fully developed. A man contributes to the child character and intelligence, if he has any. He should wait until both are fully developed, say until thirty among the mentally poorer sort; fifty ? as Plato suggested ? among the really intelligent. At Eyzies, in France, . has been found, made of teeth from the cave bear ,a necklace 2."), 000 years old. Passion for adornment is as strong as it ever was. Twenty-five thousand years ago cave women pulled teeth from a dead bear to hang something shiny around their necks. Now pearl divers go "all naked to the hungry sharks" to bring up more expensive necklace?. An estimable lady, ju.->t dead 'n Now York state, leaves a collection of jewelry worth literally millions of dollars. It couldn't nuike her look a day younger or any more beautiful. Put. as with the lady that owned the cave boar toetli necklace, the "urge" was there.
