If tho plan made poHHiblo by H. (). Cardaon, Sr., who for fortyfour years wan president of that institution, meet# tho donorve<l support of the depositors, it would seem that there 1s no reawou why any depositor should lose anything by having boon n customer of tiiat bank ('onmiiiimat ion of tho plan will mean, of course, a groat financial sacrifice on i be part of ith promulgators. This fact brings us to the thought we wlAh to express to tho readers of this paper. In tho words of a member of tin.' State Hoard of Hank Control, when I lie plan was laid before that board, "to boar such a proposal Is refreshing" This official further commented to the effect that ho "thought such things were out of date." Perhaps over the country at large such acts of magnanimity are out of date Perhaps with the general run of people such things are out of dale. Of late It has appeared fhut selfishness with a capital H is first law of business This proposal Is but another proof to tis that Camden Is unique And Camden Is unique beoause it is blessed with a eitl/.enry of unique calibre. Even In a citizen of Camden, however. a sacrifice of many thousands of dollars on the altar of an Ideal?business Integrity is news of the first order. It Is thought an act which will not surprise those who have known Mr. Carrlson and his family well. The Chronicle is not surprised; but it Is gnu ilied If Is tin old. old expression "Noblesse Oblige." FORTY YEARS OF SERVICE Tin- Mull ins enterprise, operated by tie Me-srs Piatt .1 l,ee and Charles II published Thursday a special edition of eighty pages --72 of them a tuMoid section?signalizing the fortieth birthday of that well-named weekly newspaper. Advertising "prospects" were promised a circulation of 10,000 copies; actually, 15,000 were distributed. The publishers with characteristic courtesy and candor ascribe much of thfe credit for this in every way workmanlike performance to two young women, Miss Lucile McCasklll, of Camden, graduate of the University of South Carolina, had charge of the assembling of tho advertising? more than four thousand column inches of It. Miss Marie Elizabeth Byrd, of Hranchvilie, journalism senior at Wlnthrop college, wrote many of the feature articles The Enterprise is to tie congratulated; and Mulllns is particularly to lie felicitated upon having in its service so devoted and intelligent a newspaper. ? Saturday's State. SPACE GRAFTERS There are many people in the world who think that newspaper men are fools. This is shown by the fact that propaganda which amounts to advertising is sent to them in great volume in every mail in the belief that it will be published without charge as news. It is for this reason that a large waste papor basket has become a very necessary and valuable part of the equipment of a nowspapor office. Newspapers have space to sell just as merchants have merchandise to sell ?Clinton Chronicle. To Open Dancing School The Margaret I^and school of dancing will be opened In the Masonic hall in Camden on September 14, under the direction of Miss Margaret Land, of Chester, and who will be assisted by Miss Phyllis Karesh, of this city.

Accident Deaths Second In Rank A generation has passed since the sinking of the Titanic, yet that groat disaster is still well remembered. Fifteen hundred persons died. The Johnstown flood will never be forgottenlie world was aghast when the death total of 2.2<?!) was tabulated. The World war was the most sanguinary conflict In history. In It, 50,oon Americans lost their lives, and they are still mourned. The recent Texas school explosion which killed 2?I children, brought universal sympathy and horror. Yet last year 111,000 Americans met accidental death?more than twice as many as were killed in (In* great war and it caused hardly a ripple in the flow of news. We read of some of those accidents in our paper?"John Jones, ageil 15. died in emergency hospital after being struck by an auto-, mobile"?turned the page, and forgot them. Tills astounding callousness? tliis attitude of "Accidents always happen to the other fellow, not to me or mine"?In death's greatest ally. Among men, heart disease Is the only thing which kills more mea than accidents. Such plagues as cancer, tuberculosis, pneumonia?p lagues which are being fought by all the resources of science?are down the list. Practically every accident Is preventable?and this Is especially true of the motor car, greatest of all the great killers. Care, competence, courtesy?these make up the accident prevention triumvirate. It's up to you ? to all of us. Recklessly driven automobiles, burns, falls, drownings, and so on?these are the great killers. Mrs. Carrie Henry Dies Mrs. Carrie Bates Henry. 71. widow of Charles P.
