The South Carolina tax commission
reports collections for the first
half of 1028, amount to $3,247,674
from indirect taxes. The largest
part of this came from the incometax
of $1,001,207, the next largest
part was $748,759 from business
licenses, and the third largest whs
from soft drinks and amounted to
$435,837. After that there is a big
drop to $107,592 for documentary
stamps and $102,890 for theater admissions,
with the other source# in
the law comparatively small. The estimate
for t he full year made last
January was $0,200,000 and the collections
for the first half are more
than half this, but the largest item
of income tax is now all paid and
not to be repeated the last half of
tin- \ear, and deducting half the income
tyix from the present collections
indicates that the indirect tax for the
full \ear will fall considerably short
of the advance estimates made while j
the legislature was in session. But)
the state tax commission is still hope-1
ful of avoiding any addition to the)
slate's deficit this year. I

WHY CAMDEN NEEDS 1
AN UP-TO-DATE HOTEL I
Here are six absolutely sound reasons why I
you should serve your own financial interests I
I and at the same time, the general interests I
of your city, by boosting and investing in the I
proposed big modern hotel for Camden: I
REASON 1.?It will prove a paying institution by doubling the I
1 number of winter tourists when they find they can get comfortable j ;
rooms and agreeable service in combination with our Nationally known I
fine climate and other attractions at a more moderate rate than charged , 1
by our exclusive tourist hotels. 1
Nute: We lose a great many, year by year, because the three tourist hotels
either cannot accomodate them during the heighth of the season, or their rates are ?, j
higher than hundreds who pass through here are willing to pay, and they pass on I
to towns in Georgia and Florida.
REASON 2.?It will prove a paying institution by attracting to |l
Camden the general travelling public?commercial travellers and . J
others passing this way, who would stay over-night or week ends.
Note:?Years ago, Camden was a favorite week end point for travelling men JH
of the State, because we bad both a beautiful, quiet town, and an agreeable, homelike
hot<# for them to enjoy?the old brick hotel on corner of Brdad and DeKalb 1H
streets when its was operated by Mrs. White. j
REASON 3.?It will prove a paying institution for your city, be- I
cause by catering to the personal needs, health and pleasure of both :
'of the above named classes of patrons, Camden will receive the benefit j;
of the best kind of free advertising, amounting to ten fold more than I
your Chamber of Commerce is able to devote to this most important j
upbuilding feature annually. |!
Note: Those cities which have made the greatest progress and growth spend H
many thousands >!' dollars annually in judicious advertising because it pays. 1
i REASON 1.?It will prove a paying investment for you because,* <
j fit you will carefully analyze the foregoing three reasons) your in- li
! vestment of a few hundred or thousands should, in all reason, pay a j
I I fair dividend on your cash investment, but in addition, judging from jl
i -jur past real estate history, pay the owner of real estate in and around
j Camden a dividend of around ten per cent per annum by way of en- .H
' ; \ >ti :?If you will look around you. you will find that almost any real property
I I in a: i n?-u:- our city has more than uoubled in value in the past ten years, and that
; tr.. not due to commercial, agricultural or manufacturing activities, but to the
a - . capital supplied by tourists coming here for recreation and health. I
i REASON 5.?We have a proposition from outside, hotel interests iSH
B! !.<? '. before us that is the fairest we have had yet, or can reasonably ,
! | hope ever to haver It means that if the citizens of Camden will take .
| around seventy-five thousand dollars of the stock, they will finance the
N 1 balance necessary to put up the hotel we need?one of seventy-five to I
| a hundred rooms?located on a most desirable site. 1
| Nolo:?Such a hotel will do the things for Camden that we have pointed out
J above will bo of the greatest advantage to us.
I J REASON 6.?Consider the fact that beside the unusual natural
I advantages enjoyed by our little city in the way of beauty and fine I
I climate, and a well known good reputation as a health resort. We.
i I are located on one of the big trunk lines of railroad carrying travel
| | between the North and Florida, and also the "Cross-Roads" of two of
i principal highways of the East?National Highway No. 1, from
Maine to Florida and State Highway No. 26 connecting through Char- I
j j lotto with Noiihern and North Western highways (mostly paved) and
j through Charleston with coastal highways?also mostly paved. All
| ot these features in an unusual combination right here constitutes a
ji j Capital. If we do not make that Capital work for our good, we are
| : asleep and losing out from year to year. But if we wake up and see
I I lifipht now, and act on this opportunity while we can, we may ext
pect to feel the benefits during the years to come. 9
1 We are soliciting subscriptions, now. Let this office know how
; j much you can help your City and yourself in this real Enterprise
