l'sst. I'sst. I'sst! Have you??
Vuu thin t say! Well,* Well!
And away* goes another reputation
for life long honesty, decency, right
li\ ing.
There isn't a more sinister, vicious,
evil, advantage-taking method of
spreading derogatory propaganda
than through the Whispering Grapevine
Route.
At times it rolls along apparently
harmless as idle gossip. Then again
as a thistle it turns over and over, |
gathering more rubbish through malignant
contacts with venomous subjects
which cling to it, until finally
it becomes a giant prairie roller, a
composit of all that is filthy and putrid
in the community.
Fanned by the gale, the fastest runner
cannot keep up with it.
White-livered, black and white
striped animals, who in order to further
their own interests, or who delight
in besmirching decent characters
to the aroma of their own, start
their whisperings by planting them
deliberately at vulnerable peddling
points, breathe the breath of life info
their monsters, and then all the imps
of hell lash them on.
The old-time alleged powers of
witchcraft were inconsequential, compared
to the possibilities for character-slaying.
embodied in the witchery
of Djrme Rumor, and yet today there
7???rrfe no stocks to fasten these vicious
Rumor purveyors in,* as objects of
public contempt; no lashing posts at
which to scourge them; no stakes
at which to burn them.
Suicides, murders, bank failures,
bankruptcies, home, church and school
wrecks are spectres which rattle at
hte gate of Dame Rumor. Politicians
work her overtime, and even
in Washington's day she was so active.
he declared he'd rather fight a
whole army than one vicious rumor.
The worst enemy, of prosperity, the
out.-tanding enemy of progress, the
foe of harmony, the greatest enemy
of happiness, and the biggest liar in
the unvi'is', Dame Rumor, is a wan;.-n
who i efu-e- to come out and

The federal parole board has refused
the plea of Al)>ert H. Fall, con\

The board is quoted as saying that
such action w uld be "unjustifiable

Little Local Lines
W. It. DtLo&che, of the Delxmche
Motor Company, reports the sale of
h new Easex coach to Henry Savage,
Jr., alderman from Ward Five.
Arthur Smith, of the Camden Furniture
Company, says he is well
pleased with the Majestic line of
stoves and ranges now on displuy at
his store.
How about a high school base ball
team? Let's get going. Plenty of
good baseball material in Camden.
Some big league timber may l>e developed.
Who knows?
There seems to be too much energy
spent talking hard times and
business depression. Why not use
more effort towards doing somo
work. For instance?get ready for
that spring garden.
Dr. ,A U. Belts, Dr. Brunson and
Dr. Wells, Methodist, Presbyterian
and Baptist ministers were here last
week for the purpose of organizing
groups in order to further the
Cause of law enforcement and prohibition.
.
A novel orchestra has l>een organized
in Camden among the colored
pcoply, which has been furnishing?
entertainment for many. Believe it
o.r not, they use a wash board, wash
tub, an egg beater, frying pap and
toj) for same* skillet and a saxophone.
And it is said they make real mualo.
Attracting attention on the streets
of Camden one day this week were
two little wagons packed to capacity
with household goods. A man, his
wife and kids were traveling this
way. After a short stop in Camden
they wended their way towards Columbia?each
taking his turn at
drawing the little wagons.
Motorists traveling the CamdenCharlotte
highway are attracted by
I a marker, on the right side of the
road leading to Charlotte, near Pinejville.
Those stopping to'read it will
find chiselled thereon the following
| inscription: "Here stood the house in
which was born Nov. 2, 1795, James
Knox Polk, President of the United
States 1H45-1849. Krccted by Mecklenburg
Chapter D. A. JL 11)04."
"Cow To Be Put in Cans Near
Midway Today" reads a headline in
our paper today. This demonstration
is in charge of Miss Sadie Craig and
will no doubt prove of interest to
those who attend. The housewi^?s of
this county have made rapid strides
along all lines in canning vegetables
and if they can successfully can their
meats it will go a long way towards
making people live at home.
Through an error last week wo
made the Colonial Food .Shop quote
tub butter at 19 cents per pound,
when it should -have been 29 cents
per pound. The manager, Mr. Yarborough,
says he did not have much
trouble in explaining away the ridiculously
low price-?and none held
him to the price quoted. It was
The Chronicle's error and not the
advertiser's.
Lots of noise and excitement were
caused here last Friday when motorcycle
officers sped through DeKalb
street and passed by the intersection
of Broad and DeKalb streets
like, a bullet. It developed that the
chase was after a motorist who had
beat a filling station proprieor out
of the 'measly sum of 50 cents.
Mighty small sum to endanger the
lives of pedestrians crossing this
comer.
The unfortunate accident which resulted
in the death of a woman
Wednesday night on the highway between
the city limits and the Hermitage
mill village is to be regrettod.
But the wonder of it is that
there have l>een no more fatalities
than have occurred. These people
walking along this main highway
often endanger their own lives as
well as others by not using the
shoulders to walk on. M>+ry"Trr~rhein
have been known to a/iopt an arrogant
attitude towards motorists and
me times will not move even when
iw:tmed by a.ito horn-.
