Camden's Opportunity.
.September 21, 1924, find* Camden
facing an inviting future. Not only
are the prospect* promising, but the
facta at the precent justify confidence
in the months arvd years ahead.
Camden has always been, and is a
town of steady growth, and if. our
/merchants, bankers and citizen* JThherally
would only be a little less pessimistic
and see the necessity of an upto-date
hotel, and ..build-one, an unprecedented
impetus would be given
to the progress of our little city; industries
would be added to those already
here, better support given to
?M?r aehW* and ehorehe* and stores
would increase their stock* and equipment
until no town of like size could
surpass this one in regard to its mercantile
facilities. We have a large,
modern cotton warehouse and a fine
cotton market. The town and territory
is served by three strong, conservative
banking house*. This is the
largest and best market town in i
wide scope of territory which is well
populated by white people, rpany of
whom are progressive farmers. Also
we have a-fair per cent, of successful
colored farmers, thus making for better
communities and better markets.
There is no town ranking with Camden
from Charleston on the East, Columbia
on the South, Spartanburg on
the West, and Charlotte on the North.
This section is traversed by a system
of good highways and others are
being planned which will give decided
advantages to Camden, and at the
same time will make for the convenience
and profit of all the people in
this trade territory in all directions,
and which we could and should control
by systematic advertising. This territory
has for a long time been partially
served by other towns which
nave not the resources and equipment
which Camden has,"and which are essential
to the be^t interests of the
7 j
pe?;p!e <:vir.g n-re. i
it ;s up to Camden to reach out and I
go after hu> ne*s of th?- and other!
terrlt - ;'y.ng arour.d us: It is not <
enough t-? ;-t down ar.d wait till the}
trade'tome- to our door*, which w:.l
come only b?".au-o it* is more couv<jn.?-r.t
to get- n-.:re than to drive mur rn.hs
wh?-r. Gvxi road* iea-i
away if-.m ' amier the same as to
< h rnde,*:
We r.oed to' cultivate the trade further
away from home, and thus increase
t.-.e volume of our business, in
all. lira-.*. We must let people know
that we want them to com? to f am ;
den. both on business an i pleasure. |
Ivl them know that we have the fac..:*,et
.n ever> re* peel to Lakp^care
of the.r need.- iThd to make it to their
intrre-t to their .-.elting and buying
:r. this g-..nt town.
Such a poliej will not only increase
the business done by those already
here but It will hni g others to locate
in Camden and invest their money
he.xe and help us in .leveloping our
growing littie city. Already we need
more houses. We do not know of a
vacant- business or residence in ( amden.
We must build; we must develop;
we must go forward through
every possible medium and tell
the people about Camden's advantages
as an industrial, commercial
residential, educational and
recreational center. Our prospects
are bright, hut making realities of
them rests with us.

Why N. (iMKt Vm &~h a Mam?
Ofit of Umt leading editor* of the
Suu * few days ago mad* the statement
that he *ai informed and thai
he believed the information, that in a
financial crisis some time Ago Colons,
1st Hoy Spring* stepped ipto the
breach and paid out a tool ftuJ&'J* dollar*
of bis own money to prevent
bank collapses that would at the time
'have caused enormous losses to the
State and local government treasuries
jand inestimable calamity to the pub|
lie. He eompirmente Colonel Springs
a* a noble type of citizen
So ha is. But why is it that a citi;
ten of Colonel Spring's type has about
i as much chance either of being drafted
a* Governor of Sdbth Carolina or
of being elected if he should .offer as
we have of swimming the English
Channel ?
The Spartanburg Herald some days
ago quoted some private remarks of
a candidate whom v describes as "a
capable and intelligent citizen." He
was asked why he did not make "a
constructive speech, one of optimism
and purpose." His reply was, "That
sort of thing don't get yo uaqywhere;
.you have to promise to raise hell with
somebody or something before they
W?ll listen to you."
Perhaps that is the reason why a
constructive leader like Springs or
Cdker, either of whom would be an
honor to the governorship of any
state, has so little chance of serving
the people in that capacity. They are
not sufficiently "capable and intelligent"
to meet the conditions of our
marvelous system of rendering democracy
a farce, the county to county
campaign.?Newberry Observer.
JAMES R. HA ILK I>E.\I).
Fort Mill Citizen Mas a Native of
West Wateree Section.
Fort Mill has seen the last of the
Hon. James R, Haiie one of the town's

for high office of Gwerpor of $outh

the; whet waa'aaid was true,

know him at home. I have rubbed

Can any one ask a more critical test?
He has a large and interesting family
and his home life is beautiful and
above reproach and I fully believe
that no more worthy or able man can
be found to be elected to the high and
honorable position of Governor of our
great State. He is a clean, conscientious,
Christian gentleman at home.
What more can be asked?
