PROFITS YET TO BE MADE Camden'a eight-acre forest of stately Jong-leaf pines, bordering two of the city's moat important streets, passed into the hands of new owners this week and at a price said to be well in excess of any of its three exchanges within recent years. This magnificent timbered tract was popularly believed to be not for sale hut inquiry by an aggressive local realtor, revealed the fact according to current gossip that it might become his for the net amount of $7,000. The agent closed at this figure, doubling the former owner's purchase price, and within less than three days, had turned it to another buyer at a reported profit of $1,000. And at that the new owner has literally picked up another bargain in Camden properly. EVER A REAL INVESTMENT Conservatively acquired there is no safer investment than real estate in Camden and its immediate, surroundings. Sacrifices and forced sales are conditions almost alien to the local markets and on the other hand profits are relatively certain. Business sites in Camden, when obtainable, never go begging at three hundred dollars the front foot an I what paved streets have done for the city paved roads, now under construction, are sure to accomplish for the county as a whole. If you want a good buy and a chance to more than double, your money just, for a single example, -look over any oC 4.be hundreds of_ home-sites that even now are beckoning along the highway and every street adjoining We<xlward Field or, in tones synonymous, the South's foremost aviation center! IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT 'I hree v?-ry prominent and successful drug firms, two from Camden and one from Hartsville, were persuaded to take stock in a unique?to say the least Business Review" in a country paper near, hut in neither of. the two cities mentioned.

CHARITY; ALL THE SAME; A little-known institution, insofaas its charitable activities are related, is the sole surviving white funeral home in Camden. I he mortuary here has risen far above the almost universal psuedonym of cold-handed business. Every ambulance call this house answers is not the means of making many dollars and the times this father and -or. have shouldered burden of other-' sorrows without monetary reward is almost beyond the count. lodging by their many years of service, though, this team will continue a work that none other can hope .-o well to handle and this in spite of many ledger-entries which, while apparently worthless, aro far from the fantastic echo of pauper. Who Will Succeed (Bonn? Much interest is being manifested a!! over the sixth judicial circuit regarding the question as to who will succeed J. I.ylos (ilenn of ( hester as solicitor of the circuit. The announcement last Ihursday that Solicitor Glenn has been named by President Hoover for the new Federal judgeship for South Carolina, was immediately followed by statements in the stat< newspapers from York, Chester, Rod Hill, Fairfield and Lancaster in sup port of prominent attorneys who ar suggested for the appointment Solicitor Glenn will forward hi resignation to Governor Richard upon receipt of his Federal commis sion, and it will then rest with th governor as to whom he will appoin Petitions are being circulated in lair caster in support of Attorneys Harr Hines, J. P. Richards and Allen Sap; all of whom are. well qualified for tV position. In York the name of V Ci. Finley is being suggested; in Ro< Hill that of Walter Dunlap; in Che tor Thos. H. Rrice and Winnsboro 1 K. McDonald.?Lancaster News. NOTHING COULD FINER Th? Junior Welfare Workers of Camden, an organisation likely to bo* come affiliated with the national Junior league, last week drew dual praises for t|>? sponsorship in thli' city of a formal presentation of the Carolina Co-Ed Follies. In addition to offering Camden theatre-goers ono of the season's most delightful evenings the production netted "substantial financial gains for the furtherance of the tonsil | clinic to l>e directed and paid for by | the Welfare Workers, j And it is difficult to reckon a cause more worthy thart thgt of helping a I little child toward a healthier life and one infinitely happier. THE DAREDEVIL'S FAITH Woodward Field before the passing of many more days will be the color-J ful and most likely crowded vantage point for those whose skyward guzes will be rewarded with a display of flying acrobatics, almost impossible to imagine, as featured by the Flying Circus of Miss Mable Cody, Miss Cody herself will paint upon the wings of her plane while in full flight the trade-marked name of the fuel used in her ships and Captain Errett Williams, whose previous yisits to this city have been marked with most enthusiastic receptions, will go aloft for every stunt both within and without the aviator's curriculum. America's foremost parachute jumper, winner at the M^ami air meet holder of numerous record drops, will also be a headline contributor' to the circus program. Harney Howe, the jumper, has outlived every other I follower of the profession. .. In u recent interview with this ! writer the thirty-one-year-old boy from . Georgia gave up the secrets nurtured within his heart and mind immediately preceding every leap he tackles. "It's not exactly-a prayer^?declared Barney, "but just before every jump my words are: 'Merciful God; with You I can do anything?without You I can do nothing?'and," he faltered, "the little old bag has been opening regularly for fourteen years." AND NOW THE PEERESS! ' Florence Mims was recently tried 1 for the illicit sale of a half-pint of whiskey ami v.-ry readily was ad- 1 judged guilty in the Town Court of. Lexington but whether the verdict will stand similar judgment in a highei court is doubted by counsel for the defense. T he basis for the attorney's intention to appeal lies in the fact that five < : the six jurors were women which, it is declared, is in direct % iolation of the statute which limits municipal jury lists to male electors. The case of Mims will be followed with interest throughout South Carolina not alone, because of its irregularity but on account of the prominence of the presiding judge, Mayor' H. N. Rammer, and counsel, B. U.' W ingard of the defense and Cyrus L. Shealy who represented the town. \ THE PROVING OF A MOTTO Around the festive boards 'of the Camden Rotary Club are every Thursday discussed any and very nearly every project that offers any 1 reasonable prospect for improving the civic and social life of Camden and Kershaw County. That the Rotary Club of this city has quietly though quite effectively exemplified its ennobling motto of service above self to the satisfaction of every citizen ;s best vouched for in a ca nal review of the record at hand. And -he record for asking is rei plete with intrinsic accomplishments I whil? towering above are the adj \ ant ages of the fulle-t possible measj ure ,.f regular and unselfish fellowship among the rat.Ks of Camden's ^ business and professional leaders. 1 he .story of Rotary id comparat.ve'.y new but the idea is' as old as the best of builders.

Or we stud kurrected The Chronicle is in receipt of the following communication from Honorable Newton Kelly, a member of the house of representative* from thia county, relative to the paving of Highway number 26. It so happen**! that the w^ek this communication came to thia office that the editor was out of town, and the communication did not appear. We had no good reason for withholding same and it is given below for the enlightenment of our readers. We are sorry that our informant was mistaken in Mr. Kelly's attitude toward the paving proposition nnd we gladly publish Mr. Kelly's explanation: 1 Editor Chronicle 1 see In the Chronicle of April the 6th in the Editorial colum where you quote un item from a sumter paper irt regard to Highway no 26. and I notice you comment on the same, you say the county Hoard all wants the Road Paved and have all agreed on it. and that the Delegation have gll agreed on suid Road. I am one of the Delegation referd to and frankley say that I know nothing of an agreement in regard to Paving said Road, now let us keep the record straight. I want to see the Road Paved as bad an any body and expect to see it .some day where the People want it and where the supreme court said it and similar Roads should be Paved. Newton Kelly, Lugoff, S. C. messenger pleas copy Time Extended For . Farmers To Set Seed County Agent, J. W. Bandera, ha? received information from the Farmers' Seed Loan Office in Columbia advising him that the Secretary of Agriculture has approved au amend, meni to the regulations to extend the date for receipt of application for loans for purchase of seed and fertilizer from April 20th to April 30tW. This will give opportunity to those farmers who wish to secure a loan from the Federal Government to file applications for same, even though they failed to do so before April 20th, the original date set as a limit for | receiving these applications. Kershaw County fanners have not been using their proportional share of i these funds and it is hoped that if there are any farmers in Kershaw County making an effort to farm and who do not have sources of credit whereby they may obtain money for purchasing feed, seed, and fertiliber for their 1020 crop t"hat they will take advantage of this extension of time for making applications.
