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.
The three druggists, as well a- the
other lines of business "reviewed"
paid at a rate three times exceeding
the paper's regular display rates and
very druggist got verbatim the same
"rrviow."

Merchants should ai d an well afford
t<> invest their money n proper
advertising media but to :?.nd it in
>ueh foolish ventures .something
every uitr .-hould avoid.
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

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

And -he record for asking is rei

I whil? towering above are the adj

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.

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.
