THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE 0. D. nTlBB.. Editor and P?bli?h#r Published ?very Friday at No. 1109 Broad Street and entered at the Camden, South .Carolina poatoffice m second class mail matter. Price per annum $2.00, payable in a Friday, September 26, 1930 If you are not yetting your part of ?the fall buaineaa, try going after it a little harder. Advertising is a big help, just try it. The Chronicle is right ready to help you with your advertising campaign, if you are starting a campaign to get results. A paper thut reaches into every section of the county would naturally mean a great deal, and thut's just what The Chronicle does. DOWN ON THE FARM The editor of the Winnsboro Herald and News, our neighbor county across the river, accompanied his county agent and a Clemson college man on a tour of inspection of furui diversification in Fairfield county and hero is what he says in his paper; We came back all "pepped up." In the whole trip the party did not hear one word of "hard times." Those farmers who are shipping cream are getting cheeks averaging all the way from $30 to $00 A month. Besides this return, one of the "live at homers" has sold nine heifers for $000. It would be awfully hard to convince us that these heifers were not raised more easily and economically than 20 bales of cotton. Another man has sold over a thousand dollars worth of hogs, and surely there was less work, worry and expense in these than in 20 bales of Cotton. One lady has sold over $400 worth of produce from 100 Barred Rock hens. Our advice to any and all who feel downhearted and discouraged is to. get out in the country and see what is being done." MOST DISGUSTING In South 'Carolina cities and towns, there is and has been for years, a municipal law against promiscuous expectorating on the streets and on the floors of public buildings but if there is any law more generally ignored than is this one, then this newspaper does not happen to know what it may be. During the recent term of court of general sessions for York county, it was particularly noticeable that in all parts of the court room men were spitting tobacco juice in any direction they chose, and this was by no means confined to the negroes, since the white people appeared to be more offensive in this direction than did the colored brothers. It is a filthy and disgusting habit for a person to expectorate on the floor and officers of the law should endeavor to see that the law is carried out. If a few of the worst offenders should he haled into court ahTl a stiff fihe~Vl7ipped on them foT~ the act. spitting on the sidewalks and on the floors of public buildings would soon cease to be such a general habit. And by the way, just how many of these people make it a practice to spit on the floors of their own homes? It would lie interesting to see some figures in this connection. ?Yorkville Knquirer.

Penney Chicago, III., Sept. 3Q.?"The quick return of national prosperity is in the hands of the retail merchants of the country," declared J. C. Penney, founder and chair/nan-of-the-hoard of the J. C. Penney Company, before th<$ members of the National <*hain Store Association here today, at their annual convention. lie a is/) stated that the successful retail merchant of the future would la* a jeader in community affairs, serving as a community-minded citizen. In his talk, Mr.- Penney said: "The country is familiar with the nature of the attacks which have been made uguinst the citizenship of chain store units and chain store managers. In general, it is familiar with the type of men who incite these attacks. The county at large is becoming increasingly convinced that the majority of the attacks have back of them the desire of some individual to capitalize on passions and prejudice to his own personul financial advantage. "If any good whatever ha# arisen from the various local situations, it will be found in the awakening of a rising interest in the communities where agitation has been going on, in chain stores in generul and in an awakening, on the part of the chain stores, to the fact that they must assert the part they are playing in community affairs. "In oyr organization, we huve kept close track of the activities of our store managers in local affairs. "Results of a recent investigation show that, out of 1396 managers, who received questionnaires, 1307 were active members of local organizations, maintaining 2030 memberships. 572 store associates were also memburs of local business and civic clubs. 933 managers were on committees or held office in the c^ubs to which they belonged. "It is characteristic of the American people that they are keenly sensitive to local activities. We are a race of joiners and we are community-minded. "Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Community Chest, Chamber of Commerce, these are all far more than words in the minds of the American people. They stand for national traits which cannot be discounted. "The duties of chain stores as citizens of the communities in which they operate are rather clearly defined. Past experience in our own business has definitely proved to me that up business can reach to its "highest development in any locality unless* it is community-minded. "I have found that, where our store managers were combining the joiner spirit with good sound business sense, they were steadily increasing their volume of sales and at the same time were maintaining friendly relationships with other local merchants. "The duties of citizenship do not impose any financial or social hardship upon the store managers, nor upon the store personnel. "Because a man conducts his business in a manner to insure its financial success does not make him a business outcast in his community Rvery community is fully aware of the fact that one of the most dangerous men in its midst is the man who is not equipped to run a business and who still insists upon trying. The losses sustained by retail organizations which fail are spread over the entire community. "On the otlUM-* hmid;~the~riTHTr" whx insists that he must run his business purely as a mechanical, money-making machine, entirely without regard for the fact that he is accepted as a part of the community, is, and probably justifiably so. likely to be looked upon with suspicion by the com in u nity. "Through the advertising ctilumns of the newspapers, the chain stores have presented their message to the people, and the newspaper generally, in their editorial columns, have been quick to recognize the economic value of the industry. Wherever our speakers have addressed local business men and whenever important news concerning the chain stores has developed, the editors of the country have co-operated in publishing the facts, and helped to still the sporadic outbursts of unfavorable comments. "It has been stated innumerable times, by editorial writers, by busi. writers, and by students of business economics, that the coming of a chain store to a town is an indication that that particular town is a good one in which to do business. "Other statements have been made that once chain stores get established in a town, the trading area of that a expands and there is more husifor every merchant in it. "Ir tbt-r opinion- are true, and I -. e no t asoii in g'--d business judgnirv to discount t rem. the chain -t"0"c 111 fills orir definite obligation ;-f~er.shtp when :t selects- a locaIt places the stamp of business a:>j>!-o\ .a on that location ami on the ' ituic of the trading aie.t in which 's located. "The community wants business organizations that are sufficiently well financed to insure permanent payrolls. rents paid, and bills paid. They want organizations that are sufficiently well organized to insure added service facilities to the people in its incorporated limits. "If the chain stores do as they are reputed to do, open up a wider trading area because of national recognition of their importance, then the local merchant can be shown how he can benefit directly from their operations in his community. "The volume of money which comes into town on Saturday night, from the outlying areas, especially in our smaller towns where the requirements of citizenship seem to be the most exacting; if this is drawn into town and split up into payroll, tax money rent, and other local items, by the chain store units, because they do pen enlarging trading areas, it is,a definite contribution of good citizenship to the town. "If chain stores, because they se lect carefully in choosing their locations, act as an upbuilding force in community real estate values, then they are definitely contributing to the economic development of that community. "Perhaps many of us are better citizens than we have realized and it may be that we have been negligent in acquainting the community with the facts concerning our citizenship." ?1. . 4 Burns j 94%' Air i Scientist* Its Whito Light i* nearest |o daylight in color.
