THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE H. I). NILK8. Kdltor and PubUaMr Published every Friday at No. 1109 Broad Street and entered at the Camden, South Carolina poatofftce aa second class mail matter. Price per annum $2.00, payable in advance. ~~ J Friday, July I5? **>32 vSomo time a go The (chronicle published a call for Judge M. L. Smith to offer for the general assembly in j the approaching primary. -Since that time there haa been a delude of lot- j tors and personal demands from ad- J mirers of Judtfe Smith from every, section of the county, asking that be i come-forward and tender his services to the poo|.?|o ?t this time. It is known that for more than a year Judge Smith suffered from a very serious illnosH, and only recently: has he been able to fully resume his, , practice. His vigorous and able pro-j solution of bis cases at the term of court just closed indicates a complete! recovery, and it is believed that by i the next issue of this paper wo will be able to carry a definite announcement from him of his decision to allow his name to be used. Those close to him know that he has been deeply affected by the insistence of his friends and it is believed that he is only awaiting a Anal word from his physicians before entering the race. Without authority from Judge Smith wo believe that we cun almost certainly promise an announcement in our next week's isaue. Forest Fires And (lame Forest fires sweep across the nesting grounds of ijuail and other game birds, destroying eggs and young birds. Fires destroy the forage upon which big game animals live. When fires occur late in the fall, big game, animals, especially deer, suffer during the*following winter and frequently die <?f starvation. Fires spoil the fi Ling, for fishing depends upon j jfchr waters, anil when lly forest iSj ilestioyod by fire the resulting erosion muddies the /dreams and lakes j and puts an end to good sport. Ifsportsmen realized how birds and ^ animals are driven out by fires, how coverts and nests are destroyed and, how much food for wild life goes up i in smoke when the forest burns, they would observe the utmost care with cam]) fires, smokes and firearms when in the woods. Forest fires destroy lumber, injure labor, kill industry, rob the community. and increase taxes. Preyent forest fires?it pays!?-Charles W. Nuite, County Forester. I)AI) AND HIS DAY Last Sunday, I'.Hh, was celebrated throughout the nation as "Dad's Day." and many a father went to his usual duties Monday morning wearing a new tie, or carrying a new , handkerchief, or enjoying the luxury of a now shirt, all because he was! not forgotten, and in most instances the articles were paid for with his own hard earned cash. There have! been many jokes poked at the "old man." but we believe he deserves the following from the pen of some unknown writer: "Rvery time I see the motto, 'Clod Bless Our Home,' I just can't help thinking of the man who furnishes the shingles over tho home, the man - who holds off the buteher or the grocer, the man who hauls out the ashes and brings home the bacon. Dud is the one who buys the turkey, who carves the turkey, and?-draws tho neck and wing as a reward. "True, it is Mother who darns the socks; but who pays for the socks 1 When a burgtar is in the cellar, it's Dad who gets a kick in the back. When company comes, Dad fidgets like a puppy chewing a string. When he wants to smoke, he is sent to the woodshed. "But with all Dad's faults, there is something about him that we more than love. Dad is as steady as a hay wagon, as certain as the drip from fnnwt. When Dad's forehead wrinkles like last year's apple, :t rr-hah!y because he is thinking ; rice of coal. And sometimes; Dad"- -i bor ]te.-?i ncc :s 1:kc an in-tru!) t r.\ ur.'isO .-tr.r.gs steal into your ; \.-rv -.. .i i v : t h a song that sounds like "Home. Sweet Homo.'

"There ain't no hotel here," he replied, "but you can sleep with the station agent." "Sir!" she exclaimed, "111 have you know I'm a lady." "That's a11 right," drawled tho old man. "So is the station agent." Ironed Out He sent his precious poem to the editor. "Let me know at once whether you can use it," he wrote, "as 1 have other irons in the fire." in a few days the answer came back from the editor: "Remove irons,; insert poem." W&.T W~' wr-pK3RF? - ----- BACK IX) TUB cbuNTRY It i* axiomatic that an organisation, to maintain a condition of prosperity, must return to ita members and patrons something in the nature of value ireceived. Cities, as a tlass, have long since ceased to do ao. They have lost prosperity, they are losing patronage. An advance in the economic Htutus of small towns naturally follows. It iji one of the bright spots in this era of gloom. Consider the plight of our two'leading metropolises?Chicago and New; York. The first, its credit exhausted, j appeals for federal uid in feeding its poor and unemployed lest revolution | and anarchy force military rule upon it not later than the coming ihonth of August. The second, still able to borrow, though on unfavorable terms, ( continues its orgy of spending and j constantly mounting taxes. Both are j nidden by gangs and racketeers, shel- j to red and protected by powerful politicians,' who force upon their citi-j /ens prices for food, milk, ^aundiy, j cleaning and a hundred other essert-. tials of life, far beyond what these i things should normally cost. Slums and tenements provide living conditions too low for belief by any selfrespCeting, country workingman. Industry,. taxed to the hilt, drives its employees to the limit, pays them a minimum living wage, lays them off at the first sign of shortening sales, and struggles to maintain a sti^to of solvency in difficult times. The logical sequel?an exodus to rural communities?has already begum As the difficulties of the city increase, its speed will be accelerated. Naturally the factory leads the way, ( seeking cheaper real estate lightly j taxed, lower insurance rates, leys i overhead. Its skilled workmen ae-1 company or follow. The small town s J surplus of common labor is absorbed j and the remaining places are filled i by drawing upon surrounding villages, or nearby cities. Better housing con- j ditions for the workman and his fam-j ily and healthier, saner living' con-j ditiuns convert him to rural life. The: grafting city loses a portion of itsj revenue. Slowly;.and gradually these migra-tions are taking place. The smaller communities, which for. years have been gazing at the vacant windows of unoccupied factory buildings, arc now witnessing a return to the dajs when whistles blew and workmen thronged the streets at closing time. America's best investment today is her rural villages where graft and extravagance and hoodlumism have failed To make inroads; and America's rural villages' best bet is in preserving that condition of freedom from that which marks their point of superiority over the metropolises. ?Leroy News-Gazette. IT IS NOW PAY DAY The Bible gem, "you will reapj what you sow", has never been im-: proved on. It is true in every pha>o i.f life, and is ju.-t as applicable to governments as it is to individuals.; During the war carpenters, brickma-j M>ns, and ordinary day-laborers were paid enormous wages, while the privates in the cantonments where these . fancy wages hands were working. were getting $'10 a month. It was j bound to create a spirit of resentment. Now the government is being called upon to pay for its mistakes. These same privates arc demanding what they did not get during their terms of service. Further than that, the government placed the country upon a scale of wages and salaries from which it finds itself unable to be extricated. 'The raiirodas were guaranteed a profit, and salaries were boosted to the skies.. Now the railroads are broke and there does not seem to be any help for it. But pay day has arrived.?'Bamberg Herald. Bible School (Hoses On Friday, July 15, the Daily \ a-J cation Bible school which has been in session for two weeks at the First Baptist church will come to a close. I We are very anxious to have the! parents and all others who will at- ; ter.d ?>ur commencement <-n taxi Friday own.ng ;ind witness a demon-. -:-ai,on of what your child:* n and others have learned. It w.li begin exactly at v:U) o'clock, be ;n your serrt or. trme so that you can witness the processional march. The program will last about one hour and will include demon- j s trillions by every department of the; school. After the pr^ram the school,' will keep house so that you can see exhibits of handwork. Please do not disappoint your children and the faculty by being absent. The teachers have been deeply interested and tireless in their efforts to make these turo weeks an epochal period in the child life of Camden. We are sure that you believe in a Daily) Vacation Bable school now since you j realize how much it has helped your j children. We greatly appreciate your j cooperation. It ha* been a joy to the faculty to give of their time and effort to make the boys nr.d girls have a happy and profitable time. NOT A CANDIDATE John P. Hunter of Lancaster county has been asked by friends to offer for the legislature, but philosophically inclines to the opinion that a majority of his friends in that county would not support him, once they were aware of what he stood for. In the Lancaster News he outlines some of these things: "I am in favor of reducing taxes by reducing salaries and abolishing useless oflficeji. I am in favor of our neighborhood schools being kept up and teachers eynployed to teach the children at lea&t eight! hours each school day. ! would stopj the heavy expense of running school j buses. 1 am flavor of the taxpay-! cms being allo d to pay their taxes at a reasonable discount monthly or quarterly instead of requiring thpm t<4 pay such penalties when unable to pay such taxes,. I am also opposed to big, extravagant appropriations being heaped upon us every session of the Legislature." As we see it, Mr.- Hunt**- is correct in assuming that the voters of his codhty would not elect him for espousing such a platform. And yet if any saving, and economy arc ef-v fected in the conduct of county and state government it will have bo be carried out along such lines as Mr. Hunter suggests. That is the one < sure, safe way, without involving any possibility of chance. And the cost of government is such that the taxpayers are at about the end of their row. The politician and officeholder 1 shouts himself hoarse preaching economy, but fails to tackle the subject in practical effective manner. The 1 40 counties of the state need legislative candidates offering this summer on such a platform as Mr. Hunter suggests. Having swung to one i extreme, that of liberality, prodigal- j i ity and waste in handling the tax- i payers' money in making up the ap- } propriations, why not let the pen-^ dulum swing back the other way fori :i season? Maybe then debt-ridden j and tax-burdened agriculture would get a gasp of breath, while industry and business could also see some hope ahead.?Spartanburg Journal. General News Notes The. peach crop in Union county is ] of high quality, but smaller than last ^ year, owing to a gale "on July 4, blow- ; ing peaches off trees and breaking down limbs full of fruit. During a recent thunder storm, lightning struck the concrete paving on the road between Gaflfney and Union* and tore out six holes in the middle of the road, from 50 to 150), feet apart and extending for 1,000 j feet. There is a steel reinforcing rod) in the middle of the concrete slab. |' Greenville county peach growers will begin packing the crop about August 1. this year, against July 15, last j year.* The crop is not so large the* ( year as last year, but the peaches are larger and finer in the orchards, although their growth has been retard- 1 ed and ripening is later. The Greenville county grand jury j in special session to investigate a I- ( leged jury "bribery there heard evidence that several jurors were paid; from $25 to $75 each, and the defend-1 ant was acquitted. The grand jury will report to the next sessions court j and probably return some indictments, and a lawyer has been re- -i tained to assist the solicitor in the prosecution of the cases. At Charleston, about 1,000 civilian employees of the government are hit by the reduction of pay by enforced vacations in the new economy law. The navy yard there will save $75,000, at Fort Moultrie the saving will be $12,500, and more savings will be effected in the coast guard, the prohibition enforcement, the weather bureau, the lighthouse, the engineers and the department of justice ser- j vices there. The fourth week of the traveling oratorical contest for a seat in the United States senate from South Carolina closed at Sumter with about 500 people in the audience. This woorc' the show moves on to the Pee Dotsection. Hnrris exposed Smith' claims to have caused the farm h-ar, act. and Smith retorted that it woul't take a new man 20 years to reach h;> own efficiency as a senator, ever. ^ with bis own brains and character and ho doubts whether the new aspirants, Harris ami W illiams, have either. "What we need is economy in state and federal governments," Cole, L. Blease, former governor arvl sen- 1 ator said. In discussing prohibition. Blease said "if the majority of the people want prohibition repealed the i : minority should fall in line and help; work out a good plan of control." ! Sgven bandits held up and robbed a bank at San Pierre, Ind., Tuesday. ( and when a deaf mute failed to move I on when ordorer, he was shot four [times. The bandits made their es-1 ' cape in a car. . Congressman Stewart of Plainfield, , N*. J., predicts that New Jersey will; give its support this year to the elec- , ! tion of Pranklin D. Roosevelt to the: I presidency. j HOW IT WBNT During: the world war the Uirited States government, according to a professor of Cornell university, never had at any one time more tham 300,00b'horses and mules, yet the war department bought nearly 8,OOOv(XM> haltars, more than 1,500,000 horse brushes, 2,000,000 nosebags, over 1,000,000 horse covers, nearly 0,000,000 horseshoes, and while there were never more thau 80,418 cavalry horses, the government purchased nearly 1,000,000 saddles and over 500,000 saddle bags. Thirty-two sets of spur traps were bought for every officer in the ordnance department. There were a few more than 3,500,000 enlisted men in the army, yet the government bought and had delivered more than 32,000,000 pairs of shoes? about ten pairs, each. When you pay the extra cent for gas, the tax on cosmetics and nearly everything else you buy, you might bear in mind the dbowe figures. They are very interesting.?'Bamberg Herald. Holt f rom a Clear Sky , Stroudsburg, Pa.?That ibolt from a clear sky that one heat's so much about materialized here, with tragic results. Charles Ames, digging a ditch in bright sunlight, was killed by a lightning bolt. There was an electrical storm in the distance. K Tom Early, veteran bearkeeper, was clawed to death by a large grizzly bear at Brook side park near Cloveland, O., Friday. The animal was usually very domicile and tame.
