THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE H. D. Nile* . . Editor mmi PuMMm* Published ever/- Friday at No, lift * Broad Street and entered at tfa# Camden, South Carolina postofflce* aa second class mail matter. Price annum $2.00. a ' i i f i i W i Camden, S. C., Friday, Aug. IS, 1020. Carrying out our policy of falrnesji to all The Chronicle wlM carry sio matter, reading or otherwise, which may be cOflfctrued as an attack on an.j.J... other candidate, no later than its issue of August 20th. Any paid matter which does not reflect on another candidate will be carried in both issues of July 20 add 27. This policy was adopted in order that each candidate would be able to make a reply before the final election date. One of the candidates for the office of judge of prdbate.made the statement both-at Bethune and Mt. Pisgah meetings that jf he was elected that he would give executors of estatdi "the right to etate ih which county paper legal advertisements should be <- placed 'and not put them all in one 'little' paper." While the name of The Chronicle was not -mentioned, still the general public knows what paper was . alluded to.% We might state for the enlightenment of this candidate that the editor of thia paper has never solicited legal or any other advertising in this town or county. County officials, lawyers or what not have the right to place their advertising where they see fit and the only'reason that., this paper gets the lion's share of this advertising is the fact that we give good service, publish a . fairly decent paper and nave the good will and confidence of the public. This "little" paper is not in politics and is getting along fairly well. Gft Beady For The Fair One hardly realizes that the county fair is near at hand again,'.. Tfyree months remain till the fair will begin. Now is the time to begin to get ready. Plan exhibits and prepare them. Let the people of the county who have been blessed this year with bountiful harvests save some of the first fruits and bring them to , the fair so that others might see what Kershaw county may accomplish. With good sales and prices ranging far above expectations, in many quarters fully a third higher than the ~ first day of TasP year, averaging around 22 cents and going in some cases as high as 80 cents for the beVter grades, according to reports, the bright leaf tobacco season opened Tuesday in the Pee Dee and border markets. Alwir* H Tit# Grafters r\ There U ? bunch of porpetusl grafters whd always follow what ap pears <j to them as the treud of proaparity. During the paat yeara wheri > lower South Carolina was lean and lagkjr from crop fallurea we were waved from having to deal with these leaches but now that we have made cne good nop and prospects are fine for another in this section of the country, the old guard is back on the job again. Bamberg has been; beseiged for some weeks past by salesmen of nearly everything under the sun, from stock to stockings. While this is a splendid indication of a return to prosperity it is also an . indication that many of our people are going to get their fingers singed. One of the blessings of adversity is that We are not bothered ,by ofly tongued grafters but it is likewise a bane of prosperity that with the first sign of making .a good crop the army immediately lays siqge on our pockefbooks. Our suggestion is that it Would be mighty good business right Irow to carfefully^ Investigate Any and all schemes which require a dish outlay, Such action may save you a nice piece of change.?Bamberg Herald. ^ 1 1 A Boy Worth Watching Over in Aiken thereto a boy whoso career will probably be worth watching. We don't even know his name, but he is said to be a telegraph messenger boy and, according to a story going the rounds, on the morning of July 20, 1926, he walked into the Aiken brahch of the American Bank and /Trust Co., and asked the cashier the amount of his balance. . Upon being told, he drew a check for the exact amount, presented it at thfin window and when he had received the money! handed the cashier a telegram with the remark: "That's the. last check you'll cash. Read that." The telegram announced the closing of the head bank in Columbia.?Barnwell JPeople-iSentinel. IL ? - . Capt. John H. Batty and Sergeant James W. Cheeseman, members of the Pennsylvania National guard, were killed at Langley Field, Va., Tuesday by the fall of the airplane in which they were flying.

Farm property is now over-taxed in many counties in the State and cannot stand more. Senator Ouzts voted against nuisance tax because it was too high and its chief aim was to get money to pay office-holders more salary, crucifying tax-payers on the tax-eaters* Cross of Greed. Voted against Coca-Cola tax because it was too high; wanted to put this^tax on the "Coca-Cola King" instead of the consumer. Taxes equitably levied and justly apportioned according to the taxpayers' ability to pay?not one dollar more extracted from the peoplo than is absolutely necessary to run the State and Its institutions economically and efficiently.
