All letters received through this date have been forwurded directly to Santa Glaus and, we are proud to make assurance, If any letter arrives too late for publication it will be placed immediately in his hands and in time a-plenty for his Christmas shopping. We huvc implicit faith in the jolly old fellow and we believe, as has been the belief of all to whom Christmas hus a serious meaning, that again this season Santa everywhere will treat his youngsters as liberally as his stores of gopd things can possibly afford. While Santa in some instances may be forced to substitute or fall in certain materia) measures his visit beyond any doubt will in every instance be the same hallowed tribute of love for the age of man when his honor goes unquestioned and virtue rules his every thought. THE YEAR'S BRIGHT START Through the recent sale of* Kershaw county's road bonds may be gained any number Of encouraging tokens but none probably is more flattering than the eager acknowledgment that the credit-dollars of this county are rated as good gold above par by the nation's biggest and shrewdest investors. The fact that this second big issue of a program involving nearly two million dollars will run the county s paved road system to sixty-five miles should merit approbation and celebration in every quarter because of its distinct contribution toward general development and a substantial lasting prosperity. Kershaw's permanent-roads building effort was launched less than two years ago and within this comparatively short space of time hus been strung throughout the length and breadth of the county wide smooth ribbons of asphalt and concrete to lure and hold every traveler across its surface. lloads of this day largely determine every social and economic stride and, besides meanwhile affording utmost comfort and safety, the highways of this county will offer the strongest bid of all when fortuno rules a change for yet bigger and brighter days for this part of our country. It is, as well, ' satisfactory and worthy of appreciation to review the records of those aoting officially for the county. Those now building roads are the ones whose plans made possible such a scheme and likely they too will be the same agents of our county .when comes the time to look contentedly ppon the completed and magnificent whole. Welcome Santa Onus Do you remember, in those days "way back when?" how you used tc pencil your little notes to Snntd Claus, asking him for this, that ant the other thing and assuring hin that you were u "real good boy" an< loved your father and mother ? Santa Claus is fast approachini now. And just as you welcomed hin as a kid, you should welcome hir now. Remember that Santa Glaus i a symbol of generosity, loving-kimi ness and virtue. At this time, wit his advent, so near, check up on youi self. Have all your actions bee worthy?" Kind? Intelligent. Ha\ you progressed or fallen behind 1 your work and in your spiritu. growth ? Correct your faults, reaolye to lb - to the highest in you, and when Sani comes you will be able to welcoo him property, knowing that you ha lived in such a manner as to mei the benefits that he showers upon yo In this way you will receive, in a cHtion to the love and respect of yoi friends and neighbors, a feeling self-respect that, once Acquired, w dignify, and ennoble your entire li puttii* it on a higher plane ai bringing it nearer to the Divine. Welcome Santa Claus'.?iWaterho J. Press and Standard. ++J ? 1 Why 1 felon* to Tho CHAMBER OP COMMERCE r ' ' Because I realise that In Unity ' There Is Strength.

Lyttleton Street Home Changes Mrs. David R. Williams of {Camden this week became t^e owner of the attractive home of Mrs. Lueile Seeley of Washington, D. C., when the property was transferer^ through the real estate agency of B. G. Sanders. No figures have been announced aa to the purchase price but it is understood that the sale involves an amount in excess of any of its prior transfers during recent months, Irony In Ohio, a young couple came before a judge asking divorce. It developed that they had eloped and married when the man was making $24 a week. Within three years there were three children and the hardships of rearing a family of five on $24 a week so wore on the nerves of the couple that the woman left i home and sued for divorce. [ The judge before whom they appeared refused the divorce and J "sentenced" the couple to go home and practice birth control for three years. The ironic thing about the ' "sentence" was that Ohio is a state ' in which it is criminal to disseminate birth control information and a man who makes $24 a week is in no posi- 1 tion to obtain it.?Macon Telegraph. A Community Institution Editor Bradford of the Fort Mill ' Times recently indulged in some sensible comment along the line that a newspaper, a big or little, is a com- ' munity affair. That's exactly what & paper is. It cannot be an individual proposition, if it wanted to be; it ' must serve the public of-its field and on the subject the Fort Mill Times! says: It is for service to the people and; not for any individual. You may not like the editor and tho editor uiaj not love you uny too well, hut the paper he is responsible for does just as much for you as the service rendered others. There is nothing personal with it?it is here for a purpose, and that purpose is to do what good it can in every way it can. The greater the support of those it undertakes to serve, the better service i?,, can render. It takes the people to make a good newspaper and without the help of" the people no on?' can run a successful newspaper. It requires money to operate any kind of business?even the churches?and the papers are no exception, and for that reason they must have the financial support of the business interests as well us the good will.?Tbe Spartanburg Journal. Ezra Meeker, famed trail blazer of the northwest, 97 years old, is. critically ill at Seattl.e Wash. He 1 crossed the continent in a prairie 1 schooner in the early pioneer days of 1 the west, and a few years ago crossed ' the continent in an airplane. l ' I NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS MEETING Tho regular annual meeting of the shareholders of the Camden Loan and II Realty Co., will be held in the directn ors room of the First National Bank a Tuesday afternoon, January 8th, 1929 i at 5 o'clock.
