POLITICIANS AND TAXE8
..Ours Is h peculiar democracy. Wo
elect men to office, arid wh? n they iurlve
at the pup and do things that
they think Ih th?-lr duty, whole duty
Hiid nothing hut their duty, we begin
to cuss them and condemn them.
. . We won't let our politicians, good
or bad, do what they should do. Wo
nag and f? ?-1. steam und Hweut, every
time u question comes up for their
consideration. Ah uHual, the umpire
Ih in the grandstand.
..The question of tuxeH Ih really becoming
serious. We are not referring
particularly to federal tuxes: If we
make much money, I'nclo Hum doean't
require much of uh. What' bothers
moat of uh Ih Blate, county and city
tuxeH.
..It would be u miracle for a political
body to find Itself with a uurplua
that It would not hanker to speud
forthwith rather than put It on itu
debtu. Noboddy In public office aeemH
to be willing to undertake to try to
reduce taxes'; In the first place, ho
knows 11'h no use. it can't be done.
..Hut If we keep on piling up debtH
and not paying any, und adding tax
after tax, somebody Ih going to get
to the point where they wont pay any
tax oh at all, law or no law. Ah poor
an 1 am, and aH Hinall uh my buulneHH
Ih, 1 am paying 3 tlmoH as much money
in tuxeH uh I ever earned during
any single year of my life between
the age of 21 and 36.
..Let'H Hee what I get for my tax
money: First, I got police protection,
hut 1 don't need that. Hecond, 1 get
good roads, but I'm too poor to use
them. Third, I send my child to
school, but wo ain't got but one.
Fourth, I am allowed to vote, but that
doesn't amount to much. Fifth, 1 get
water, lights, gu? and Boup, but I have
to pay fur them.
..Where Ih it all going to end? If
an lndlviduul owes more than he can
pay, and can't borrow or steal any
money, he has to repudiate his debts;
in polite society, that's called bank
ruptcy. It looks like our cities, states
and commonwealth are all headed in
that direction, and every single one
of them Ih running in high.

Out Of City Sharks
Put Over Their Deals
Cant do o was literally full of out of j
' city shucks last week and despite the j
warning Belli out by llic ChamLwir of.
Commerce officials qulto a number of
people fell victim to the tricks of;
these high-pressure urtlsts.
The Chamber of Commerce, accord-j
Iiik to President Kornegay has been'
very sincere In trying to post the people
on the various skin games that
arc being put over by out-of-towm rs. j
and the request Is ugaln made to the
public that people who are approached
to buy anything from strangers demaud
of these peddlers or salesmen !
credentials from the Chamber of Com-1
inert e headquarters.
Several specific incidents of fraud
wore reported to the Chamber headquarters.
In a majority of cases these
pressure artists keep within the luwj
but the Chamber points out that the
people are victimised nevertheless.
One enterprising salesman sold seven
Camden firms and business houses j
on the Idea that advertising on a card
to bo tucked on the back of the doors
in the rooms of a local hotel had real
value, whereas advertising experts
have declared such advertising to
have no value whatsoever, as the
cards are usually defaced In a short
time and are taken down. In this
specific Instance the business and
professional men were taxed In
amounts ranging from $3 upwards for
space. Exactly forty cards were ordered
printed by the promoter and It
cost him Just $2.60 for the Job. Any
one of the advertisers could have had
cards with more reading matter printed
for the same purpose at a much
lower cost. It is believed the promoter
of the plan cleaned up between
$40 and $45 on the deal.
Met With Mrs. Wilt
The March meeting of the Charlotte
Thompson Home Demonstration
club was held at the home of MrB.
Mattie West, on Thursday afternoon,

roll was called and answered with
things that had been planted in our
gardens. The minutes were read and
the project song, "Believe Me If All
Those Endearing Young Charms."
was sung. Then the picture of the
month was displayed and discussed.
The title of the picture was, "Mother
of the Artist," by James McNeal
Whistler. After this Miss Fewell
talked on windows, both, outside and
inside, curtains and there arrangement.
She also displayed some lovely
curtain models that MrB. Oliver
had made. Mrs. Oliver was on hand
to offer her assistance to anyone who
wished to make new curtains or slip
covers. After the meeting Mrs. West
served tea with a lovely salad course,
UKlng Saint Patrick's day for a motif.
About 98 per cent of our members
were present and all enjoyed the
meeting very much.

Splendid (James
Of Basketball
(By Bubbles)
Two splendid games featured the
finals in the Kershaw county basketbull
championship tournaments at
(bo Camden high gymnasium Friday
night.
The Camden boys team took the
county title by spanking the Char*
lotto-Thompson lads 19 to 8 In a game
that during the early periods wus u
Hlz/ler for action and thrills. The
Camden shooters however, proved too
much for their rivals and begun to
edge uway, the battle ending with the
home team on the top end of a 18 to 1
8 count.
The girls game was a mild affair]
for three quarters ami anyone could 1
have made wagers on either team to j
cop, so evenly matched were the coin*
peting squads. The Charlotte- Thomp-1
son maids had a decided edge on the
local lassies In height and weight and
the experience gulned by playing together
for several years enabled them
to retain possession of the ball a
greater part of the time. It was only
the close guarding of the Camden
guurds who broke up many scoring
plays in the first three periods that
prevented the invaders from faking a
big lead.
In the fourth quarter the fireworks
were set off by the Charlotte Thompson
cagers. Mary McLeod, their
shooting ace, who had held to a lone
free marker for three periods adjusted
her basket eye, got the range and
when her mates began to feed her the
ball, she opened a barrage of field
goals that quickly turned the fracas
Into a veritable rout. McLeod shot a
total of nine field counters In this
quarter. Camden was held scoreless
In the last half through the fine defense
play of Captain Lila Dixon and
her sister Lois, playing at guard positions
for the visitors.
First Lady Carries
Pistol When Alone
New OrleanB, March 6.?Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, here on a lecture
tour, said today she carried a pistol
when she rides alone in her motor
car and that she "can use it."
"I am never accompanied by guards
In New York or Washington where
everybody knows me," Mrs. Roosevelt
explained. "I go about just as
anybody else. However when I travel
there are usually special guards furnished
me, but they are not detailed
at my request."
"Don't you have fear of bodily
harm?" she was asked.
"It never enters my mind," she replied
pleasantly.
Of the pistol the president's wife
said she had the same training "that
the New York National Guard has."
"Do you find being the wife of the
president a better time than being the
wife of the governor of New York?"
she was asked.
"I don't look upon it as a 'good
time,'" she replied. "It Is a duty
which has to be fulfilled and It is
most interesting, but certainly it Is
not my idea of a 'good time.' "

Malvern Hill Club Report
The Malvern Hill Home Demonstration
club met Friday, February 26,
with Miss Lucile Robinson. It was
a bitter, cold day but the members
turned out almost full force. Mrs.
Sinclair had the devotional, then the
secretary called the roll and read the
minutes. Mrs. Frank Bell, the citizenship
chairman read an interesting
paper about our duties as citizens.
The song was "MasBa's In De Cold
Ground," and "If I Do Say So As I
Hadn't Ort," was suhg in a very fine
manner. This song was written by
Stephen C. Foster and he must have
been very versatile for he also wrote
that gay ballad of the old west, "Oh,
Susanna."
The picture studied was "The Harp
of the Winds." Music might describe
this picture but not words. It certainly
is beautiful with its varied tints
and shades.
Miss Margaret Fewell's subject was
"Outlook" and it does seem that if
farmers would look oqt for their outlook
as diligently as those engaged In
business, they would arrive at a bet '
ter understanding and a fuller pocketbook.
She also gave a garden talk, ]
stressing good seed and an all yew
garden. |
A delightful buffet lunch was served 1
and throwing formality to the wlndi
we all gathered around the k)tches ]
range and had an old fashioned gabtest.
