Wbat Fertilisers Cannot Do.
FeeWIWa cannot take the place
of humus. 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.
With every good wish for
your continued success."

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.
