Price per annum $2JD0, payable in advance. Friday, January 17, 19.10 The five banks in Kershaw county whose statements were published in The Chronicle lust week, together with the Hank of Kershaw, whose statement appeared in the Kershaw J,ia, show combined resources of <10,194.9-I with deposits amounting to $3,OKI,<>50.40. While these statements show the banking situation in this county to be sound, in order to get loans from these bunking boys another year the fortunate r nes w ill he those who show a will* ingnes? to work urid put that money to good use instead of spending so much time in joy-riding. To our way j of thinking the joy-riders and the I .spendthrifts are going to be out of link another year so fir as financial ' aid is concerned. SIZING THE SITUATION Kditor Ktigene Asheraft, of the I Mo ma*' Krnjuirer, has a way of talking mighty plain in his "Catchall ; Column" and often drives home some mighty pertinent facts to his reader*.

I (illion Made Talk On Reforestation Those who wore present at the meeting of the Camden Chamber of Commerce Wednesday evening listened to a most interesting talk by Mr. Cuion on the subject of reforestation. Jiving now engaged in supervising a large number of acres being reforested by Mr. If. V. Kendall, also having been connected with the hederal I.and Bank for a number of years Mr. Cuion has quite a knowledge of this work He cited his hearers to a case in (jeorgia where a large tanner thought that he was going to lose his land on account of crop failure, hut all the years this farmer was a fanatic on the subject of reforestation and protecting his lands from fire. Virgin timber had grown up to such an extent that his lands are now worth far more than tin- loan by the government and his care of the forests saved his land. Named Co-op Agent I Mr. C. C. Whitaker, Jr., of this I city has been named as agent for the South Carolina Cooperative ' ottun Marketing Association for this county. Mr. Whitaker will work in cooperation with Henry l>. (Ireen, the county agent. The government has recently authorized the expenditure of $.'*0,000,000 to help in the orderly marketing of cotton through the co. p? rativc a>.*ociation?. n ' V. . THK HOME rAHEK The merchant's relations -to his home tow n paper are supposed to be those of an advertiser. Ihat is a nar! row view. The home town paper is an institution. The merchant can no more escape its influence than anybody else m the community, whether he advertises in it or not. Vet, as a consistent advertiser hi elatioiiS with the local newspaper become <i.L4)itcl> constructive.

Wiirll, W iiele, How and Why? It bungs the individual out of himself. It speaks the local language. It , interprets community life. Week by 1 week, or*day by day, it tells the story i of the town and county. Most of us are so accustomed t) j the home town paper that we take I ^ as a matter of course. If we | think anything about it at all, we think of its deficiencies. These are present largely because it is run by fallible human beings. The wonder about the home town paper is that : ;? contains .-<> few mistakes, not so | many. To the merchant, especially tho home town paper is an ppo-tun:'y. | His hiKilU'M. too. b a '. ->> 1 :n<titu! ?ion. l'nle-s it finds some kind "t . \ press*,..n in the home town paper. both the pape- and the bu-no-- have. . . r . . i i , ( 11 an 1 111 |" 1 a" < \tt . a u :un> tmn.

Most advertisers are over-judiciou.v rather than extravagant. It is the continual message than counts most. Sporadic advertisements now and then are of doubtful value. Perhaps they are better than no advertising at all. Every advertisement placed by a business house should blend into every other advertisement it places. The merchant should think in terms of a campaign rather than in terms of the single insertion. Vast progress has been made in advertising within recent years. Outj .landing examples of it are to be i found in the national field. Locally, j however, advertising has much room ! - or development.
