Camdrn, 8. C.. 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.
"Goldboro's Sheriff's Gun Quiets
Relatives of Slain Girl,' "Soldiei s
Guard Court," "Judge Grady Places
Gun on Desk," were headlines appearing
in Monday morning papers.
We wonder if they were holding court
in Dorchester county, S. C.".'
Fire Damages Greenhouse.
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. The
flames starting, it is said, from an
overheated furnace, took only a slight
toll in growing stock. A large force
of workmen were under contract
to have another steam plant in operation
before nightfall and according to
officials of the company, orders for
the holiday season will go forward
with but iittle interruption.
The Camden .Floral company is
headed by William Goodale as president
with N. R. Goodale, Jr., as
general manager.
