I I ^ _ [ ADVERTISING I Does Four Things | If you conduct a retail store, there are four things you wish to do: j (1) You wish to HOLD all of your present customers (2) You wish to sell more goods to your present customers I (3) You wish to REPLACE with new customers the old ones who move away (4) You wish to INCREASE THE NUMBER of your j customers. : Thus you have four objectives. Not one of these objectives can be reached by doing nothing. None of these objectives can be wholly realized without advertising in The Camden Chronicle ! Phone 29 Camden, S. C. 9 tfew Bern Negro Finds "Pirate" Gold The strange story of a bard working colored man who discovered a lot of hurled gold on his farm near (he mouth of the Pamlico river was told tho other da) In the New Bern Times A IJ 8 Secret Service Investigation of the reported plowlug up of gold Ingots on Dallas Jordan's farm lorrl tory known (o have been frequently visited by the Pirate illackbeaj d In, th*> early 1700'??has authenticated j the discovery of burled treasure The Federal investigation, conducted quietly this week by Secret Serviceman, Edward Thomas hug assured Jordan, 64-year-old nogro who paid $500 for the ten-acre tract twenty -one years ago, that the I), 8. Treasury would pay blin for the gold ho dellvi erod in person to the Mint In Wash Ingloti on Jupe 13, and warned him to say "no" to all salesmen who are sure to seek hi in out. Jordan, fur above the average rural negro in intelligence, denied that the gold was worth anything like the $L'v 000 rumored, and declined to state exactly how much he expected u> get, but It was Indicated that the find would yield him about $2,000. Whether ho thinks there is more gold on the place or not. Is his secret, but it has been learned that a relative of Jordan's wife, k?own 118 Aunt Betty Harvey, uncovered a broken Ingot a quarter century ago while hoeing cotton within 300 yards of the current find, and local legend Is that she sold it for $300 and then went Insane. The Secret Service investigated the treasure find because the anti-gold hoarding law of 1933 requires establishment of ownership of gold of this nature with a producer before It can be marketed legally. The Washington investigator was satisfied that it was found as Jordan reported it was That is: While plowing during the first week In June, Edward Connie, nephew of Jordan's wife, who works on the place, turned up Irregular and hard, objects in various sizes and shap'-s.j that apparently had been brought ( near the surface by erosion. As bad everyone in the neighbor-, hood, he knew the legend of Black-j beard's treasure being burled in the: vicinity and had heard of Aunt Betty. Harvey's good fortune. But he wa.-n t sure. He carefully collected the pie.--s and then turned them over to ow iter of the land. Jordan thought strongly from tip' beginning thai ii was gold, but hewasnt letting on to how much of It' he had He took only fragment into; Washington, where Guy T. Swindell in R. Hoe Stewarts jewelry store, re moved any doubt. Swindell described . the gold as having the exterior ap-l pearance of motlen brass, very dirty, but bright underneath the coating of. grime. He said the ingot was porus. | as though poured when too cold and by one inexperienced In such matters. | Definitely, he described the gold j was not bullion but obviously was; melted down coins or jewelry, or a, mixture. The property on Jordan's creek,, which I9 more of a bay. is almost at; the mouth or tho Pamlico Sound from* Ocracoke Inlet, where Blackbeard was j killed by Lieutenant Maynard. commanding a sloop of the Colony of V ir-, ginla, in 1718. It is one and one half miles from, th.- old Woodstock courthouse, and tw.-lve to fourteen miles from Indian Island, which juts out into the I'tngoj ri v. r There w'cTe no Civil War engagements "f consequence fought it: the .?! ?. and it is not the belief the county that the gold was buried : ten. Some silver, perhaps, hut gold, no." old residents will tell you. And old records are coming out. history and legends are being recalled, and the belief is spreading that?! more than 200 years after his head whs brought into Bath on the bowsprit of Lieutenant Maynard s sloop? Blac kheard's buried gold finally has been brought to surface by erosion on a tract of land an industrious negro bought for $">o0 F. B. Broughton of Kershaw Die* Kershaw.

Increase la hog prices and lhe prospect for an increased corn crop. ! many farmers are directing their attention to the hog crop, and the re suits are the price of feeder pigs hat advanced Indications are that ship meat of hOKs far market will he greatly Increased, and the Increase of In come from hog sales will add consld erably to the farm income." This statement from Major VV J Tiller. Chesterfield agent, sounds the keynote of news coming from many South Carolina counties that farmer** are finding another real "money crop" In hogs. Witness two other typical reports: "Around 1500 pigs are being fed for market by adult growers, and 55 pig? were started on feed by 20 club boys, to be fitted for the show and sale at the State Fair," says Joe Graham, Jasper county agent. "There are a great many hogs on } fee?i o?ur r iorence county, and we are working hard toward getting hogs on the early fall market," says Kd. Raskin. assistant agent. "The plan Is ( to finish i>lgs by hogging down early ( corn." Illustrating the money value and ^ profits from hogs are these figures ^ from five county agents. The Marlon Farmers Marketing Association during the period Febru- ^ ary to July 2 marketed 3.099 hogs for $43,456.14, County Agent W. K. Wells reports. The total marketing of hogs from December 1 through July 2 brought $54,919.52. Sales records for the tlrst half of { this year show that Hampton county t farmers marketed 3,670 hogs, return- i lag $38,946.70 to the farmers, from < the Ehrhardt auction market. This is .J approximately 50 per cent of the sales ? that have been made from this coun- j ty. according to J. C. Anthony, county i agent. At the annual meeting of the Dillon County live stock marketing association, it was shown that from Septem- : tier 1. 1937 to July 1. 38 cars of hogs were handled for 179 farmers, who received $46,728.15, says County Agent S. W. Epps. 1 In July says County Agent L. B. 1 Massey. 424 hogs were handled. j through the Orangeburg County asso- { ciation. the 95 shippers receiving; \ $7,758.41. J W. Talbert. assistant agent In Sumter county, reports that F. M. Johnson of Dal /.ell put $221 in a few 1 feeders, fed them for two weeks, using 60 bushels of corn and $2.00 worth of tankage, and sold them for $321.90. In this way he sold his corn for $1.65 per bushel. Austria Is larger than .the United States by S05 square miles.
