It Will Improve
In spite of the prophets of evil,
we believe business throughout the
country will, from now on, show improvement.
There may be no groat
spurt in business, but the indications
aro in favor of u gradual improvement.
The wide-awake merchant
\yho sticks with his business, refuses
to be pessimistic and advertises, will
come out on top. The speeding up of
public works, the plans of manufacturing
concerns to speed up, great
constructive road improvement plans
by the railway companies and the
program of highway construction
cannot fail to quicken business ail
along the line. And the larger towns
are not going t?> swallow the smaller
tovyns, even though there are many
people* living in the smaller towns
who habitually go * lo^-hirget towns
to spend their money. Kven thes"
misguided individuals will, after a
time, learn their lesson. -Union
Times.

Claims Power Rates
Too High in Camden
Senator Grover C. Welsh of Kershaw
county appeared before th?
state railroad commission yesterday
and asked that it investigate the
rates for power being charged the
city of Camden by the Carolina Power
& Light company. These rates, ho j
charged, are excessive. |
Senator W elsh presented figures,
verified by the chs and electric engineer
of the railroad commission,
showing that Camden is paying $700
a month more for its power than it
would have to pay if it had the same
rate which Orangebiu g has. Ot he
figures were also presented by Senator
Welsh to show that the rates
ln*ing paid by Camden were very
high.
The commission, acting on request
of Senator Welsh, yesterday afternoon
addressed a communication to
the Carolina Light & Power company
asking for an explanation of the rates
being charged Camden.?Wednesday'?

Mu&t Make a Profit
Every man to his trade. 86me
men make good farmers, some are
out out for the law, others aje natural-born
doctors, and so on.
Anybody can open a store and
buy and sell things?for a while.
There Is no law ugalnst anybody's
trying to be u merchant. Hut there
vv Lt
are somo mighty hard and fast laws
against keeping on being a merchant,
and they're not all on the
statute books either.
Those laws ure Just as strict as
any others. One of them says that
If a merchant gives away his profits,
the sheriff will get him. If he gives
away Just part of his profits at u
time, all ho does Is put the sheriff
oft.
V-C dealers, with honest goods at
honest prices, have their profits In
their hunds when V-O delivers the
fertilizer to them. If they keep
these profits, they keop on being
V-O dealers. If th?y give these profits
away, even to their best friends,
the time will come when they can't
survive?and that's our loss, and
yours, and theirs.

Bait for Boll Weevil
The Department of Agriculture
thinks the boll weevil smells her
way to the ootton field?and therefore
It is planning ways to trick her.
"The odorous principle of the
cotton plant has been studied,"
says the Secretary of Agriculture.
"This principle has been lsoluted,
and the compound oan probably be
made synthetically. Here is a possiblo
means of furnishing bait for
l>oll weevils which may have considerable
importance."
Sounds like a Joke;f but it is far
froYn being that. Maybe two or
three years from now we'll bo
spreading empty V-O sacks on
frames, with a little of this "principle"
in the bottom, and when a '
sack gets full of weevils all we'll
have to do will be to haul it away
and get rid of them.
