Price per annum $2.00. Camden, ?S. C? Friday, Jan. 29, 1926. YOU ALONfK WuJTbK TO BLAME The Merchants <*rrdift Company, of Washington, 1>. C., has begun opera (ions j?' Camden and quite a number of the well established business firms of Camden have joined i n with them. They are not only working locally, but they intend to operate in every town and city of any importance in South' Carolina. The results will b far reaching. They do not pose as collecting agencies. They are merely trying t o establish credit on the basis on which it should be run, They do noi want- to work any hardships on anyone. If a man or woman is in bad financial straits through unfor tunate (ijfeu prist anctss, though honest, they mean to give him a chance, an i is ho rated. If a willful dead-beat and makes it a practice to beat hit* fellow mail they place him in the category in whieh he belongs. Every business firm has furnished them with bad accounts outstanding. This is taken up in time by the credit company and the debtor is given chance to pay hi* account and get a good rating. Failure on his part to <! > so will put him in a bad ligh*, not only locally, but throughout the Mate, by means of this credit guide. It is a well known fact that not only Camden, but every town, has its professional dead-beats why live as parasites on a community. They are aj.re'ady well known and if the mer chants of this and other towns will stick it will not by lon^ before the dead-beats will have to move out o! the state or else pay their bills. Stick, brother slick, to the credit rating, after it is established and Jet's get rid of thjt? dead-beat!

DISCONTENT SPEI.LS PROGRESS In summer folks want to go North, 5 to the mountains or the seashore. 'In winter they Are drawn to the tropica. People living in the Mast talk about going West and natives of the West believe the rainbow's end is in the East. People withuut automobiles "would be" satisfied with a small car. Their more fortunate neighbors driv ing small automobiles hope for a larger car "next year." Kvery raise in salary suggests another. This insatiable desire and discon tent, which is characteristic of civil ized peoples, is man's only inspiration for uncea.sing accomplishment. With out it there would be no progress, no scientific research, no inventions, no industrial or commercial achievement, no religious or educational upliftment, nor human ambitions. In the tropica where a generous nature guarantees ? xister.ee without self-help, there is an intimation of what would result from the enrf of human desire and discontent. r.ontentmen*. is the unpardonable - n or. this .Mile of the Atlantic, un '< be :r.dolent discontent.
