Friday, May IB, 1#34 ' .Since the gamo warden's office h?? been put into the primary The Chronicle is now carrying announcement* from nine candidates seeking this office. Some wag has dubbed thorn would-be "rabbit sheriffs. Mayor J. H. Osborne and his council are to be congratulated for putting the ban on the numerous slot machines recently operated in Camden. He issued orders" .Saturday night thai they be closed down or arrests would follow. It is said that certain parties " have Recently lost large amounts of money on theao machines, and that people who could not afford it were often seen trying t<> beut these devices, which can't be done. The next move Mayor Osborne and his council should make is to dose up the non-essential shops operating wide-open on 'Sunday?or at leait- compel them to observe Sunday hours. CAMDEN SHOULD ADVERTISE. Having boon requested to state his views as to the advertising of Camden, the undersigned is glad to do so. The winter visitors are one of the most important elements in the business life of Camden. They spend here many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which directly or indirectly benefits every man, woman and child resilient in this city. There is only one way that this business can be increased, can in fact be kept from gradually falling off, and that is .by well planned, well di-j lerted advertising, sufficient in amount, carried on consistently, and J>y publicity,of thi- right sort, that is,' the publication of the sports aid - ?rial news of Camden. Without good advertising very few l?u -inesses last, and Camden's winter-j visitor business is no exception to this rule. Why does Pinehur.st, advertise, every season? because it pays to do ho and means fading out of the pie- j turo if one doesn't. " Why does Maine advertise every year? Because they have found it ! pays them, and pays thom "well, to do so. What is the reason for the hundreds of advertisements of countries, stales and towns that appear regular- i ly in the leading newspapers and magazine,s of America? Because they' get back as a result far more than j they spend. New people of the right sort haveJ 1o l>e continually attracted to a re- j sort if it is to contimier Therefore, it would seem a mailer of tlie utmost importance to the business men of this city that the advertising of Camden should be continued and strengthened.

Postmastership Is To Be Competitive (Special CorreeporKlence) Washington, May 15.?The post office department ha*? called upon the Civil Service Commisaion to establish a register of eligible* from which selection may be made for appointment to the i>osition of postmaster at Camden. The commission will take action with reasonable promptness and two or three weeks will be allowed within which applications may be filed. After the closing date the papers will 'be rates! within a month, and selection may then bo made of one of the three highest on the register. When official announcement is made of the date, application blanks may bo, obtained front tho postmaster or from the Civil Service Commission at Washington. A candidate must actually rewide within tho delivery of tho office, and must have so resided for a least two years next preceding. The rating on education and training will be determined from the <kata furnisher! in the application and upon corroborative information. Business experience and fitness will l>o determined upon joint consideration of tho applicant's statement and of other evidence secured through a careful investigation conducted by tho Commission. Full inquiry will bo made as to suitability and fitness for the office of persons best qualified to furm?b information regarding applicants. ? ? ? Probably the most difficult problem confronting congress and the president is that of silver and its more extended use as a money metal. In addition to congressmen from the | mining states who desire to boost [ the use of the white metal, there arc! many inflationists, mild and other- , wise, who honestly believe* that the i volume of currency should be increased. Under legislation enacted last I year the ehief executive lias practi- j cally unlimited power over the cur- j rency but in accordance with the Democratic platform and his own ex-' pressed views, he has held firm in his determination to maintain its soundness. Numerous conferences i have been held and it is believed that an agreement has practically been ' reached whereby a national i>olicy j will l>e announced in a law for the j use of gold and silver in tho ratio of I 7f> to 25. That is far greater than the ratio at tho present time. * * When the Republicans we^e in power a tariff law was passed giving the president power to raise or lower rates to the extent of 50 per cent, after investigation and recommendation by t.he tariff commission. It was j intended, and so worked out, to raise rates and make tho cost 'of living ' higher. There is little difference be-j tween it and the administration mea-j -ure now before congress, so far as' ' ncerns the authority delegated to tin- executive. Under the latter there! need be m? useless investigation by' the 'anil ci.mmi-sion. and action may In- taken without undue delay. It wou.d tiff, mi biiigaining facilities wjtii f?.reign nations in handling any. P'lb-ic quo-f ion that might arise, without waiting for approval by con gross. 'I he vesting of such power with executives i> almost universal among ether nations. In some rrf*es ' ?l iimi' ;s placed upon the power ! granted, but in only two nations leg- ; i.slntive action must bo taken before any tariff change can be made. t A favorite contention of pacifists and those mildly opposed to war is j that a plobes;te or popular vote of! the people should be taken l>efore a i declaration is made.

'* win ?r YEft?YOU'LL I'AY In a recent editorial on excessive taxation, the Philadelphia lMspatch mi* It " it t.hft rich made to pay, the rich will tlnd a way to jpastt the burden on down the lino, ?o that in the end every penny of these burden* nome taxes will l>o paid by the average man. Ho may not realize that he is iutying it, because it won't reach.him in the form of a direct tax. Hut he will pay it just the same, Just as ho has always paid it, and always will. He'll pay it in increased rent, in a surcharge on everything he cuts or drinks or wears or uses. He'll pay it in reduced wages A.. He'll feel it for many a decade to come." That old fallacy of taxing the rich to help the poor was never more dangerous to the public ,welfare than it is now. We, as a people, have watched cities and states and the federal government appropriate and spend billions?and we've sat by and said nothing, thinking that none of it would come out of our pockets and that some of it might go in. We've been conscious of waste, o>f extravagance, of graft, of duplication of effort. We havo thought that wealthy individuals or great corporations were paying the necessary taxes. Unfortunately, there aren't enough wealthy individuals or big corporations to pay the cost of government. They can't meet even a small percentage of it. Over-taxing individual wealth simply drives it into tax-free bonds and takes it out of productive enterprise where it would provide jobs, payrolls, purchasing power. And when we overtax business, we simply increase the cost of everything we use. Business has no magic means of creating money. Everything that adds to the cost of a commodity or a service, including taxes, must be passed on to the customer purchasing it. Yes. the1 average man pays the bulk of the cost of all units of government. He bears the burden of waste and inefficiency. And he is the ono who, by j united action, can cure an intolerable coniiU'on that menaces, recovery.? Monroe Enquirer.

The conference also adopted resolutions vigorously condemning stock speculation.s and all kinds' of gambling. A $250,000,000 government plan to stimulate private industry, has been started through congress with the approval of President Roosevelt. The plan is for money to be loaned private industry by the Reconstruction Finance corporation on favorable terms for five years. It is estimated that fungi did $32,000,000 worth of damage to railroad ties, telephone and telegraph polo? in the United States in a single year. Tribute From Friend Paid To Mr. Sanders ! Editor Tho Cbroniclo: In the death of Mr. 'B. G. Sanders? of (Camden, which occurred a few dayo i ago our state has suffered a great J loss, and most especially Gamden and j Kershaw county, and the central Car- < olina section, It was the good fortune, pleasure und privilege of this writer to .have not only been closely associated with < Mr. iSandcrs when I was equally as j fortunate and honored in serving as , commercial secretary of Camden and Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce, not only in a business -way, but in addition thereto I enjoyed the j friendship, hospitality and working , cooperation of Mr. Sanders and his < good wife. There aro numerous South Garoliniana over here in the great Pee Dee section of this equally great state who had the pleasure of tne friendship and intimate acquaintance ^ with Mr. B. G .Sanders. In the Bib- ( lical quotations of the teachings of Jesus He said to his apostles upon one occasion "ho who would be greatest among you must be servant to ^ all." In his splendid citizenship and , his unselfish servico to the several i communities in "which Mr. Sanders i lived and had his business connections > he most beautifully exemplified the ndmonition of our iSaviour. I know of no man, anywhere, who was more thoroughly imbued with that courteous consideration for the rights, feelings and welfare of others than was 1 Mr. B. G. Sanders. He gave freely of his means, ability and working cooperation for the upbuilding of community, county, state and country. His greatest reward was in the service he rendered and he sought neither remuneration, nor the plaudits of his fellow citizens. He was one hundred per cent unselfish in all that he did for the church, t schools, city, town and country, and it appeared to the writer that Mr. Sanders must have said to himself "I will build my house by the wayide and be a friend to man," so delightful was the hospitality of his home at all times, and so enthusiastic was he in his willingness to serve his community at all times. Mr. Sanders came to Camden as a business man and established the Elcctrik Maid Bake Shop and subsequently manifested his faith in the future prosperity of Oamden and South Carolina by investing many thousands of dollars in Camden real estate holdings and in the erection of business buildings in addition to his own beautiful home. He was secretary of the Camden and Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce as an accomodation to the business interests and reorganized and developed that organization to a high degree of usefulness and efficiency. Recalling the kindliness of spirit, the great love he had for his native state and his splendid citizenship. I could not refrain from paying this tribute to such a fine gentleman, Christian and public spirited citizen as deceased proved to be. In addition to thousands of others who mourn his death, his untimely passing away will be keenly felt by hundreds of commercial secretaries and other commercial organization officers in the Southern Commercial Secretaries Association, and the South Carolina Commercial Secretaries Association. Of a truth, while we mourn his departure, nevertheless we feel that we have much to have been thankful for because of the years that Mr. Sanders lived and served, and we feel that this world is that much better because he lived therein. We grieve with his bereaved wife and family, but they know that we know, that they know to Whom to go for consolation. H. I. Reardon, Secretary, Dillon Chamber of Commerce Dillon, S. C.
