A WORD OF PRAISE
Truly, Camden is living up to its
reputation as "Beautiful Camden,
South Carolina" and all of us, encouraged
by the leadership of our
Mayor, are trying- to beautfify our
Krounds and sidewalks, thus having
them more attractive this season
than ever before.
There could be no better advertisement
for our little city thau well
kept yards with lovely grass, tfees
and shrubbery, which not only attracts
visitors, but makes them want
to stay. When the eye bcholcU
beauty it~*?plifts us, for beautiful
surroundings tend to make us better
and happier citizens.
We live in a beautiful town?let's
make it more so, and all put forth an
extra effort to that end now.
We should )>e grateful .to our
Mayor and his co-workers fort-'^all
they are doing in trying to make our
town more sanitary, as well as
more beautiful, for the two go hand
in hand.
Here's a vote for better sanltatlcifi
and more beauty.
THEY STII.I. FALL FOR IT
" 1 here was a team of subscription
solicitors for magazines in Yorkyijle
last week," said one this morning who
had observed the man and six girls
who drifted into town last Thursday,
and ( leaned up the subcription campaign
for just any old magazine that
the subscriber might want to su!>scrilx1
for.
It is a great graft," said the gentl<
man. who happens to know something
of the game. "A man will
employ hall a dozen or more girls
and take them into a town and the
gir.s do the soliciting, putting up
the speel of wanting to get *> many
subscriptions or so many 'points' it!
order to get a college education, and
the sofe-hearteil easy marks fall for
the song and dance right along. But
not all of them fall for it. They
know the ot'd gag, and further know
that the subscription solicitors are
not working for a college education
or anything else than the long green
with which to buy -ilk stocking;,
shoes, lipsticks, face powders and
paints that girls all use nowadays.
But still, it Is interesting to see how
the local yeomttnry will' fall for the
gag year after year." remarked the
gentleman.
I he above is taken from the Yorkvillc
Enquirer, and we leatn that
the same parties are now "working"
( amden. I hey are also coining now
Under the guise of religious work.
A very homely looking young woman
along with a fairly good looking
woman blew into our office Tuesday,
and the good looking lady said that
she was spokesman for the homely
looking one, endeavoring to help her
to collect some money for missions.
e asked her what missions, and
her reply was "general mission?.*'
I he couple did not look on the level
to us so we told them that w<jMuui
missions at home to look after, ^hev
thanked us and walked out. Butt w#
learn they gathered in a lot' 'of
shekels before leaving town?many
falling for their plea?and gava
money :to two women they'knew absolute^
nothing about, as to- character,
reliability or what not.
A jpiar or so ago while attending

Cuttino of this city, had for his
