Register Now! Only two more day* are left in which to get registration certiftcnt" I in order to vote in the coming election an to whether Camden shall have more paved streets. We learn that there is some little opposition ' * certain qi^arters and if the property owners do not busy themselves and J get the friends of paving out for registration the bond issue may be defeated. Camden has an excellent opportunity to get some permanent street improvements in the neur future if the election is carried. Cam den ha* experienced a wonderful growth since her streets were paved and the more paving the more growth the city will experience. The Boy Scouts of Camden have never failed to demonstrate their right to rate as the one organization in Camden that is eminently necessary toward its future advancement in morals and manliness. With its growth in every other particular and ready responses to every deserving cause it is only fair! to give t'amden a little t me to do j for its -boy scouts w'lat they .* > j richly deserve. Five hundred dollars, which i? being asked, is such a small amount that it will permit only the organization of additional troops and affiliation with the national body. With an enlarged membership the Scouts will need a suitable meeting place; a summer camp and an overnight shack for winter hikes should be provided. Camden should give these things and Camden, we are -ure. will give them. When the present campaign close*, we venture that Camden, after giving, will find regret only in the fact that shf was so many long years in giving her Boy Scouts every blessed thing they needed.

A contract on n bid for construction of a state highway in l^exington county over ten miles long at $20,000 per mile is a new low record in South ( arolina for cost.
