THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE II. D. Nile* . . Editor and Pftbliaher Published every Friday at No. 1109 Broad Street and entered at the Camden, South Carolina, postoffice as second class mail matter. Price per annum $2.00. a i ?i * Camden, S. Friday, April 30, 1926. Favored by nature in ewry reaped and hindered by nature in no manner whatever, located as favorable as could be desired, and known in every land to be possessed of a people even yet truly Southern in thought and manner are some of dominant facts that lead to an easy solution of Camden's moat successful tourist season, and why The Court Inn, The Hoblcirk and The Kirk wood were filled to capacity throughout the en tire winter. Hut if Judge Moore or Dr. Wilmer or Mr. Place should on the morrow return to Camden for a week or a month, where would Camden put them away in comfort? Kven the Kalesman, who nightly registers thousands strong, may find in Camden telegraph and telephone service to better handle his requirements? he may golf and fish all summer long?-but how ean the garage man or theatre or drug store expect his regular, good-cash ?bwyfness when Camden can't offer him a place to sleep, such as he of right and necessity"'expects ? Only until Camden's population measures up to the faith of its business men and merchants ran Camden proclaim itself as an outstandingly prosperous community. Today stocks of merchandise and general investment are proportionately far in excess of its population of five or ten years ago and, until these factors are more perfectly equalized, no citizen should expect the "benefits that freely come to the bigger. centers. TodayCamden has everything -that enters into the make-up of a bristling, bustling city everything eXcepE the people in numbers. The easiest and the quickest way to get the people?the greatest single iind the most -worthwhile move possible to undertake at this time?is to build a hotel worthy to crown our united civic thought and effort. I.aln.r on v ml N from a fr'nn QUO program, as was illustrated in the paying project, would materially relieve the Usual summer business inactivity and when completed its hundred daily guests would each month . D h'.a\;' within local trade channels more than fifteen thousand dollars! '1 he ( amden and Kershaw; County Chamber of ('ommcice without a dissenting vote gives endorsement to a modern commercial hotel building program and neither hanker not* investor can offer a single word of diseuui iig'oment to its establishment. 'I he individual citizeh, too, must acknowledge that the sooner he looks upon a hotel made possible through his underwriting the greater will be his sense of stability and of pride. Cleaily it is up to the citizen to see | that Camden no longer lacks its very greatest potential asset and with this citizen and to him atoho .tin- baton of prog ? ss now i ests?to rise, or -to fall. Help I'reveiit Accidents "In our everyday activities each of us has a supreme conviction that nothing will happen to him; that if accidents happen they will always be tn th( other fellow.

"It is not unwarranted interference With our custom t<> have someone inU tested in looking out for our persona! safety, knowing as we do our own inclination to neglect it. It is not paternalism to install safety devices. We need the help of others to protect ourselves. "i commend with all my heart, tho activities of the public utilities in tlie accident prevention field. 1 know it is light. I am not so much concerned whether the reason for their action ;- to pi evcnt.'-economiv loss or to ga ii good will, or whether it is purc.y humanitarian. Results are what w v want. Our effort affirmatively should he to gain for ourselves more comfort, more lei.-ure and more cu.tuic.

The poison should be applied soon after the plants have become thoroughly established, and additional applications should be made at intervals of two or three weeks through the season, says Prof. H. \V. Burre, director of the South Carolina Experj imcnt Station. , The standard 1-4-50 Bordeaux mixture with the addition of two pounds of lead arsenate paste or one pound of powdered arsenate of lead to fifty gallon^ of Bordeaux is the proper mixture to use. In making Bordeaux a stock solution of bluestone should be prepared by dissolving one pound of bluestone to each gallon of water. If forty gallons of stock solution are needed, forty gallons of water should be placed in a barrel and forty pounds of bluestone should be suspended in a loosely-woven burlap bag Just under the surface of the water. ,It takes Bevoral hours for the bluestone to dissolve. Stock solution of lime should be prepared by slacking a good quality of quick limo with a small amount of water and, after the slacking is completed, adding sufficient water to make as many gallons as there were pounds of lime used. In making Bordeaux from these stock solutions, one gallon of bluestone solution should be added to eleven gallons of water, and after this is stirred thoroughly one gallon of stock solution of lime should be [ poured slowly through a strainer into 1 the diluted bluestone solution. The mixture should be stirred thoroughly while this is being done, and the spray should be used at once. The arsenate of lead could be added slowly and thoroughly stirred in after the Bordeaux ?>.has been prepared. Bordeaux is much more effective if either soap or oil is added to make the spray stick better. Ordinary laundry soap, one pound to a hundred gallons of spray solution, would improve the mixture materially. There are several oils used for this purpose, Sunoco being one of the most widely used, one a^lon of oil being sufficient for two nundred gallons of spray. The soap could be dissolved in warm water and added to the solution as it is poured into the spray tank. Or, if used, oil could be poured slowly into the mixture as it is being poured into the spray tank. Bacteria have been found in oil wells one thousand feet deep.
