Price per annum $2.00. Camd<n. s, r.. Friday. April iu. That was a happy off a ? on Wi-dnerdav afternoon when admiring friend- presented retiring Mayor Carrison with a stiver service. It wa* truly an honor worthily bestowed. Henry Garrison has un. doubtedly made Camden the best chief executive in the city's history. L'nd?r hM wise leadership more constructive work and larger proposition* have been undertaken and carTied to a successful conclusion than ever before, and it was done with less distention* and friction than under any othlm administration. He always weighed every proposition carefully?not until 1 had taken friends into' his confidence and gathered their counsel and advice, did he act. The immense paving construction carried forward under his leadership marked a turning point in the history of Camden and with its wide paved streets placed it among the prettiest of Southern cities. He was always alert to the city's beat interests and could be found on the job at all times and leaves a'record of being the very best mayor the city has ever had and carries with him into private life the most cordial good wishes of u city full of loyal friends. The Chronicle TjcTIcvei, along With all our citizen^ that ho has a worthy successor in Mayor C. P. Hu-Bosc who was elected without, opposition. The fate of Gerald Chapman, wb$ was hanged nt the Connecticut prison at Wetherafield Tuesday nighty offers further proof of the fact that wrong-doing*does not pay. While all wrong-doers are not punished for their crime like Chapman" Was, and many go umvhipped of justice and enjoy, or seetn to enjoy, the fruits of their crime urmolested, even in cases of th.-s character, panicularly with 1 men iike Chapman of unusual intellectual" gifts, It is hard to see how a mind and soul that are attuned to something higher and better can enjoy a liaison with the low and degrading. Rut no matter how the toll is exacted, or whor. the wages of sin is death; ai d the' fate of Chapman. because he was su unlike the ordinary thug or yegg-man in his appreciation of and fondness for some of life's finer thing's, is that much more of a warning to the young and unwar^-jthat it pays to go straight,-f'he.sU-r Reporter. * t THE RARE GENTLEMAN. h is no very uncommon thing in the world to meet with men of probity; there are likewise a great many men of honor to be found. Men of courage, men of sense and men of" letters are frequent; but a true gentl? man is what one seldom see*. He is properly a compound of the various | good qualities that embellish man-' kind. As the great poet animate*, all the different parts cf learning by the j force of his genius, and irridates all i the compass of his knowledge by the lustcr and brightness of his imagination, so all the great and solid perfeo-' tinns of. life appear in the finished gvntliman with a beautiful gloss and! \.uoish; everything he says m does | is accompan.ed with a manner. or j rather a charm, that draws the admi-1 ration and good will . of every be- ! holder.?Steel., Former Student Likes School News Ldit.or Ch.uii.cle-;?1 am more than delighted to see the Camden High School News in your columns.

Yorkville Knquirer. Now that the legislature has adjourned, it is to be supposed that members of the last senate and houto will again be "Induced to serve the people" in the next session - of the general assembly. People aH over the state will be expected to listen to the campaign speeches of the would-be "servants," who feel particularly honored by having been elected to represent "this great country in She general assembly of South South C-k^o-l-l-n a." It is easy to close one's eyes and hear something like this: "Mr. Chairman; Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to be here in this Squeedunk neighborhood today to give an acount of my stewardship, and also to ask for your favor and suffrage in the Augnst primary. When you elected me to the general assembly two years ago it was upon my promise to give you the very best service that I po&siblv could. I told you that I t^ould be your servant and would do whaTVou wanted me to do in regard to 8t?ke~ and county matters. I have tried very oa.d to live up to that promise, mv friends, within my limitations. Every proposition that yow^have laid before me luts been given my most earnest 'consideration?I have taken it under advisement, and if it looked good. to mo politically, I have voted f * it if if was expedient, but I have, realised very fully, my friends, that you often did not consider the expediency of some of the measures you advocated and therefore, while I am very sorry suyh is the case, I did not do a number of things that you thought you wanted done; but I promise you that if you will elect me to this high and important office again, I will continue to take your suggestions and requests under advisement and vote for them if expedient. I promise to continue to ignore the constitutional inhibition against sessions lasting more than 'forty days; I will continue to work only four days a week while the legislature is in session, because my friends I am afraid it will wreck my . nervous system tjf I and the other members of the body work more than four days a week. I also promise that 1 will continue to help the legislature piny second fiddle and be a ?rubberstamp to every measure th,at the state tax commission fathers. Please remember me in the primary. I thank you. GENERAL NEWS NOTES H. 1..
