aecuring five or more in order to get j
their subscription advanced for six <
rnonths The offer ia proving popular
and within the next few weeks
we expect the paper to he Minf into
many new homes in the county and
elsewhere.
The rhrorncle thia week enters Its
forty-first year. Thin is volume
forty, number one. The paper during
these years has been given good
support, and right at this birthday
we have never had better support, 1
and we believe the paper is appreci- '
a ted by the large number of peopli !

ers daily. We want to thank all of
our friends, patrons arid subscriber!
who are making this paper possible.
With better mechanical facilities we
are going to try to l.eep the paper
up to its standard.
That Camden is a mighty good
town to live in ?nd Camden people
are fine to live amongst is proven by
a most generous act on the part of
a number of our citizens. Through
the joint efforts of Mr. C. M. Taintor,
who makes his winter home here, and
Messrs. W. H. Haile and H. G. Garrison,
Jr. a nice little sum of money
was raised and presented to Chief of
Police H. D. Hilton yesterday at
noon. Mr." Hilton is a faithful nnd
efficient police officer and was hard
hit by a fire loss last Friday morning
and was left with nothing. He was
given u check for 31,7f>.'i and this will
go a long ways towards getting him
started again. Mr. Hilton came here
.several years ago, practically a
stranger to all our people, but has
made good and is held in high esteem.
Mrs. Amanda Brown of New Prospect,
died the other flay at the age of
J'f without ever being on a railroad
train. She was born where she
died in a suburb of Spartanburg.
Five members of the True Light
church convicted on appeal of not
sending their children to school were
questioned closely by Judge Helms at
f harlotte and said they objected to
several things being taught in the
public schools, including fairy stories
and that soil is formed by erosion.
All said they had attended school in
their own youth and their religion
had not been hurt thereby. The
judge quoted to them the command of
Jesus to render to Caesar the things
that are Caesar's.

I told that it's a dangerous thing to
pick up atrangers along the highways,
for while there's such a thing as entertaining
angels unawares there's also
such a thing as picking up a crook
I who will kill you, rob you, and rido
off in your car, as has happened right
here in South -Carolina. The Spartanburg
Journal contributes thia warn|
ing on this very timely topic: "This
| thing of picking up strangers whih;i
you are out rrotorir.^ is a risky
business. Of course the college lad
'and h.gh school boy manage to cover
I much mileage by hailing the passing
cars, and when the man at the wheel
is absolutely certain tnat the pedestrian
fits into either class, he can take
u chance, but when it comes to
adults that is a different matter. A
recent issue of the Asheville Times
tells of the experience of a Greenville
traveling salesman, who handles kodaks,
who picked up two strangers
a few miles out of Knoxville, whih
motoring to Asheville. He was assaulted
and robbed of $160 in cash
jnnd 18 cameras valued at more than
' $300, and the shoes he was wearing
; were taken off, and the wornout
| shoes of one of the strangers left in
the car. The salesman was badly injured
and left helpless in the car
over n.ght. Next morning passerbys
discovered him lying in the machine
and carried him to an Asheville
hospital, where he is being
treated."?Chester Reporter.

Ed Whitmire, former president of
the defunct Textile Bank at Greenville,
and Rev. John N. Wrenn, a dii
rector, were sentenced to two and four
months respectively Friday, for violation
of the banking laws. Wrenn was
accused of borrowing more than 10
per cent of the bank's capital stock

charged with loaning it to him. Whitmire
pleaded guilty. Wrenn pleaded
not guilty.
A? ways Welcome
One fellow who is always welcome
at the front door in this and every
other community is the free delivery
mail carrier. Nobody motions from
the window for him to stay away.
Nobody ever stops him at the front
steps and says, "We don't want any
mail today." In fact, everybody is
happy to see him coming up the
walk, or stopping at the mail box.
He is a tried and true bearer of tidings
and the offering he holds in his
hand is always pleasantly received.
His job is not the most pleasant one
in the world by any means, since it
takes him out into all kinds of weather.
But like a real soldier, he is
always to be found at his post of
duty, uncomplaining and unmindful
of the drab side of his life. We sometime
wonder If he geta all the smiles
and hearty well-wishea to which ho
is entitled; we wonder if all of his
patrons are careful to show their appreciation
of his faithful services.
Have you ever done any wondering
[ along that line, or are you one of
those who take him as a matter of
course and withold the smiles to
which he ia raalljr entitled and which
would help him along in his work??

AUHJCHIX ESS
(From The HandersonvilW Time*
News)
Tramps and loafers and the slovenly
slouch along the highways and
byways of life because they lack that
self-respect which braces a man's
shoulders and inspire* others to say
of him **he no slouch."
It is undoubtedly that the slouch
habit is often a mental attitude. It
is a habit of mind as well as of body,
and reflects slack thinking and alack
muscles from self coddling indulgence
and a bent and twisted philosophy
of jife. f- On
the other haud, the swagger
of the bully, the strut of the conceited
and vain, indicate the need
for more backbone and less cheat.
There is time enough at the dawn
and dusk of life for the slouching end
sagging. The new-born babe is unable
to hold itaeif erect; its head
topples over, its back ia rounded
with the weakness natural to infancy.
Old age, worn and near the end
of the journey, is bent and bowed
with the burdens of s long life
with the weariness of years.
Criminals invariably slouch amidst
the shadows and one wonders whether
it is the life of crime that
the slouch or if the slouch habit
makes the criminal. That there is
some connection between the two
there can be no doubt.
Those who resent the Darwinian
insinuation that they have a common
ancestry with the jipe should
divert suspicion by assuming , the
erect posture foreign to the ape family.

Sam Crafton, 30 years old, was arrested
at Mt. Holly for criminal assault
on his own daughter, nine years
old, when the child told her mother
who told officers arriving to arrest
the man for bootlegging. He denies
the charge, saying he took the child
with him on a hunt for hootch, left
her on a railroad grade awhile and
then brought her home. Public feeling
in Mt. Holly became so strong
that Crafton was taken to the Gastonia
jail for safe keeping. The
child is attended by a physician.
PoJice say Crafton was once indicted
in Florida for a similar attack on the
same daughter.
