Four lots remaining unsold will return at least four thousand dollars and the home place, it has been stated, could not be moved for less than twice this amount. And the experience of almost every other investor in local real estate is that if you buy something sound in Camden and take care of it, for better or for worse, it will be sure to take care of you. Some see these things in advance and the man who wants to profit can not hope to find a field more pregnant with every opportunity than is now offered by Camden and this part of South Carolina.

Just don't gambfe for that is unnecessary and, with this state in its present stage of development, gambling is about its only impossible feature.
