SUPPORT THE CHAMBER A news Item of tills paper today announces the annual membership drive of the Chamber of Commerce will begin on February 20. The Chronicle believes this should be of prime interest to every progressive citizen of Camden Ii is a matter of paramount interest to till of Camden. During the past two years Camden has boasted of a chamber of commerce administration that has accomplished more In Instilling the spirit of progress, building of civic consciousness. optimism and hope for the future than has been accomplished by any other group or Individual tn the history of the city. In all matters of civic progress the chamber of commerce has been In tho front line. Not only has it cooperated and worked on every pro-j jei t of consequence In the past two years but it has Initiated programs that have been outstanding. The Cotton Festival, the Santa Claus Lane, bringing the polo program, football and baseball projects to a new high in public attraction, securing a review of lift- navigation possibilities of the Wateree river, quick action In curbing advertising and soliciting i rat kfts. the most far flung publli Itv program of any community in the *?oulh; ihoao arc but a few of the, forward movements that have been instiuted by the chamber of commerce.

WORK ./BEGINS IN HART8VILLE Last May The Observer printed d special million dealing with the textile situation In Huutsvllle, Alabama Readers of the paper probably remember the edition and the sad plight of (he textile worker* iu that city, and that this sad pllKht did not atop with the textile worker* but spread throughout the community Before the labor troubles, Huuts vllle was In a fair way to become the textile center of Alabama, to bo to the textile Industry of that state what Danville. Is to Virginia. Gastoula or Burlington to North Carolina, Greeuvllle, Spartanburg or Anderson to South Carolina and Columbus to Georgia. But the C 1. O. organizers went Into Huutsvllle and caused the mill workers there to go out on strike. Three mills at Huutsvllle were diemaled and their machinery shipped elsewhere The three remaining largest mills were Idle for a long time. Thus did one of the most prosperous areas in the South become a ghost city over night as thousands of people were thrown out of work. During the past few weeks, work has started again ir. the three large mills while a small mill employing 200 workers has been running on part time for some months. The C. I. O. lost all prestige and practically everything they went af1-' tor. Cutting off of workers, lower wages, etc., were necessary to offset j the effects of the strike. The mills | wore not able to reopen under any I other conditions because of lost customers duting the long months of Idleness. Before going out on strike, workers should consider carefully whether they will gain anything, or whether It will mean months of Idleness with I loss of wages, as was the case In Huutsvllle, and In the end to go back to work under conditions the same or perhaps worse than before.?Greenville Observer. WHY IT INVl'GERATES Merchants?did you ever stop to, think that Coca Cola, despite its universal popularity and the almost complete absence of competition, spends huge sums In advertising every day? Not because they are fighting to hold business, but because they desire the public never to forget Coca Cola. You have competition; advertising will help you meet it!?Marion Star. In the Piedmont Also When the Pee Dee farmer lives In a big. two-story, painted home, owns a big red barn, well stocked with blooded horses, cowS and pigs, and Is not subjected to the gamble of cot' ton and tobacco prices, ho will have adopted a live-at-home program, and he will be more prosperous than those who persist in gambling on the onecrop, soil-depleting, buy-everythlng basis. He will cut his acres into lots, divided by wire fencing?maybe electric rencing ?so thai he can graze any lot he desires, as he cultivates others, and. sooner or later, according to the speed of his evolution, he will own a farm as green in winter as in summer. The sooner our farmers come to know that "Pa," smart as he was, did not know it all. and that a live-athomo farm program is the shortest road to safety and to success, the better off they will be. "Pa" thought in terms of IS*:., and cheap labor, but this is l'.'.PJ?and a change In farm methods is long past due Marion Star 'TIS TOO TRUE TO MAKE EVEN RIPLEY CAST DOUBT _ Sometimes there comes one that ! stumps even Robert Ripley and his !

Second Annual Wildlife Week The second annual national w lfe restoration week will be observed In SotXth Carolina and throughout the United States March 19-25. Wildlife restoration week was devised for the purpose of dramatizing Ulu peed for protecting the coiiimoii heritage of our country s out-of-doois. It was considered a good plan to have every person throughout the nation to pause and consider what we are doing for, and doing with, our wildlife reSOUi veh. In March of last year hunters and fishermen, garden club members and Four- H'ers, Kotarlans and kflCjP11* nalres as well as hundreds of scnool children heard of conservation and restoration. In all but three counties of the state the program was carried out. f Through the sale of poster stamps and In other ways funds were raised which go to help carry on the work. Last year only sixteen subjects were reproduced on the stamps. This- year, with a longer time In whlcYt to plan and work, eighty designs will be offered They \\>W- embrace a much wider variety j? species too. There are ten wild flowVr?*^tun trees, fUteen fish, fifteen song and insectivorous birds, fifteen mammals, fifteen upland game birds and waterfowl. Shipments of stamps will begin February 1. Plans for the general observance of the week are shaping themselves for a much broader program In South Carolina this year, and county chairmen and district leaders are now he1 ing enrolled.

Senator Connally of Texas, promises that Southern senators will put upj h r*ai fight against the proposed auti-, lynching Jaw when it comes to the floor of the senate. Protesting against certain statements of senators in regard to the confirmation of Harry Hopkins, Connally shouted "If these senators want to bring this up. they are going to waste about half this session of congress." "J can tell you right now that it's not going to pass," he added, pounding his desk. Premier Chamberlain, in an address at Hiriningham. England. Saturday night, called on "others" to contribute to the world's peace, in what was regarded as an invitation to Reichsfuehrer Hitler of Germany, to help the appeasment cause when he addressed the German Reichstag. In his address Mr. Chamberlain stressed the fact that England is now in much better shape for defense. He likened his stand to that of President Roosevelt in a declaration of inevitable resistance to efforts to rule by force. in a speech over two hours long Monday afternoon. Hitler said Germany would continue aggTessiie action until she is in position to get enough raw materials, and that her colonies were wrongfully taken from her. He denounced democracies. especially the United States and England, and said they must cease to Interfere In German International affairs. He singled Ickes in this country, and Winston Churchill*-* In England, for special vituperation, as war nmgera. Hitler said Germany will flghflo help Italy, antk charged all democracies with hypocrisy, led by Jewish propagandists His speech was an eagerly awaited announcement of policy./find It was broadcast all over the new, enlarged Germany, ad well aa Into other countries.
