There can be no substantial plant growth without bacteria in the soil, and bacteria cannot ^survive without humus. Most of the plant food in commercial fertilizers becomes available to the growir)^ plants only through the intermediate action of these bacteria. Many farmers overlook the importance- of maintaining an adequate amount of humus in their soil. A cultivated crop should never follow a cultivated crop without a cover crop during the . intervening winter. To omit the cover crop is tg^jeduce the returns from the fertilizer u*e<f the second year.-rAmerican Fertilizer. A Father'* Record. A Negro who died in Chester re ceutly is said to be the father of 56 children, and the story goes through the news columns because of the unusual record as a father. Being the father of fifty-six children is ho noteworthy achievement, however, TJio kind of a father a man is, and the kind of children he leaves in the world determines the measure of his greatness, Five children with strong bodies, clean, energetic minds, Arm character and high ideals are more to be desired than 56 meriocre children brought into this world by illiterate . parents who can give them only limited chances in life. Fifty-six children is some record in numbers, but children should not be counted by the number alone.?Greer Citizen. WE THANK HIM GREATLY Scattering sunshine and good will as one goes along is one of the best traits of mankind. It is not often that The Chronicle makes mention of congratulatory letters, but the one we are publishing below comes from a former citizen, now residing in a distant state He is not of the com? mon run of humanity, but one of those who has a broad vision and has made a success in life, hence it is all the more appreciated. He enclosed a check on payment for his subscription. We do not feel at liberty to give his name, but he penned the following words which it goes without saying the whole Chronicle force appreciates: "Please let me congratulate you on the splendid, newsy paper you are publishing. Camden in her evident determination to let the wor]d know what a fine town shq is, certainly is fortunate in having a channel of publicity such as The Chronicle provides.

SUBSCRIPTIONS SOLICITED Kershaw County Citizens are Asked to Respond Promptly. f wish to announce that subscription to the TilhttAn Memorial Association are now solicited from the citizons of Canulen and '.Kershaw county. As you doubtless t&ow that it was suggested that a suitable memorial be erected upon the' state house grounds to the late Senator Tillman. It is proposed that at least $10,000 be raised by popular subscription from the state at large. This is something over $200.00 for each county. Senator Tillman had many warm friends and admirers in this county, and an opportunity is now igi\on them to perpetuate his memI ory by making subscriptions to the I P?'?Posed memorial. We believe that j it was conceded by every one that Senator lillnian was a patriotic citj izen, and was a stalwart figure in j representing, the best interests of hi j native state ir. the United Stages Senate. Nor win his great interest in the establishment of Clemson College, the college for the farmer's son, and W inthrop College, he forgotten. May I urge the citizens of our county to aid in raising the quota expected from us? Subscriptions may b0 left at the office of the Camden Chronicle and at The Watoree Messenger office. I have written to a number of leading citizens at other points In the county to aid me in this work, and others may expect to hear from me, as I feel that we will do ourselves credit by subscribing the comparatively small amount asked of us. The amounts subscribed will be acknowledged weekly through the local pa; pars. C. W. Birchmort, fe; > . v. '1 Pee Dee Council Held Meeting Here At 10:30 a. in.
