Friday, Pec. leTlM^ Upturning tourists after a season'* absence all make note of Canuten a steady, dependable growth. . Houses are ,hard to obtain and there are rery few vacant houses and office rooma. Here and there over town there are new j>lace*r^aU occupied, and there is a heavy 4emand for more. Never a boom-town, Camden ha* steadily progressed, from year to year. growth is permanent and dependable. The need of more bouses waa tprar, greater, and with the large number or paving people aoon to be here the, need will be even greater. Hiu Eat ate. A few weeks ago there died ojip of, the moat gifted preachfera in South Carolina. He had for some years served churches that paid salaries, as ministers' salaries go, of a pretty good figure. It was commonly expect^ that Dr....... would leave a snug pile of savings; but the probate of his will showed that, be$id?# a splendid library and a fair amount of life Insurance, he left an estate of less than twenty-five hundred dollars. What was the explanation? Simply that he had given to a degree that many would call too generously or] his ftieans, steadily, ydar after year, to the cause of hie Master in equca- ] in missions, in the promotion ff many a good cause. Improvident, perhaps. But what would this world be without men of such burning zeal for the very highest things that they sometimes forget even things that are themselves good, but of a lower kind??Newberry' Observer. "The forgotten man" is that individual who does an honest day s work, pays his bills, brings up three or four children, indulges himself in a pipe or an occasional cigar, keeps up a small savings account, never asks for charity from any one, never gets into trouble with thfe police, never makes a speech or writes a letter to the editor?in short he's the individual who keeps going on his own momentum, good times, bad times, or indifferent time*. When the hat is passed around fdr the down-and-outers, the Fergettert Man chips in his mite. The tax gatherer visits the Forgotten Man regularly, and collects toll for the upkeep of the police courts, jails, work houses and poor houses ? none of which the Forgotten Man ever uses. He is self-supporting, selfstarting, self-sufficient, and being so he is too often thoughtlessly overlooked?counted, in on little except the census. But in that document he cuts a big figure because he piobably forms the vast majority.?Monroe Enquirer.

Fire claimed an estimated damage of three thousand dollars at five o'clock Saturday morning when the Camden hloral company was stripped of its main boiler-room and electric refrigeration plant.
