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. So nature protect.-.
u.n troia fear and constant
wot r\.
"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. Our effort negatively should
be to prevent pain, suffering, disability
and death from disease if we
can, ha. alway> from accident bocau.-c

TOMATO SPRAYING
Bordeaux Mixture With Arsenate of
Lead Adviaed by Clemxon
Clemson College, April 26.- The
beat npray for controlling diaeaae*
of tomatoes is Bordeaux mixture
witih a small quantity of arsenate of
lead added to prevent attacks by insects.
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.
