WILL THEY EVER LEARN?
For four years the Camden Chamber
of Commerce hits been pleading
with the citizen.? of Camden to atop,
look and Investigate before they Invest
their money In craclrpot schemes
and rackets
Rome of tho people with Judgment
have accepts*! the Invitation of the
Chamber of Commerce and when a
stranger calls to pdrjhuyde him or her
In Investing In books, foreign charitable
movements, fur coats and tho
like, they have asked the stranger If
he has a certificate from the Chamber
of Commerce. Very fow can reply
In the affirmative because tho
Chamber of Commerce Is wary of all
Strangers and will not Issue a card
unless, fully satisfied as to the responsibility
of the party in question. And
the big. very big majority of tip*
strangers steer away from the Chamber
office
During the past month u salesman
for a shoe outfit reaped a harvest In
Camden, deapito the fact that the
Chamber of Commerce warned several
people there was a doufbt of the
responsibility of tho salesman. In
fact. It Is claimed that the glib salesman
cleahud up some $200, a big majority
of tho victims being woinnj#.
The Chamber was trying to do
Camden people a public service in
warning the public against paying for
something unseen. The Chamber of
Commerce had Investigated the salesman
and had found that there had
been complaints against him.
It Is ulloged that one victim sought
to have the salesman taken into custody.
But before you can take a man
Into custody, tho police must first
find him and finding the alleged
shoe doctor has been a useless task
to date.
We live and we learn.
WHY CAUSE A FIRE?
Smoking Is a common habit and
practice throughout the world. As
with all other things some folks enjoy
It, some not; but except in cases of
necessity the places where smoking Is
foj-bidden are rare. The wide freedom
lti this regard, loavitfg the responsibility
up to the Individual smoker, oxplain*
to a largo ux'tent the large num

result of smoking.
It Is the careless or thouKhtloas

tiros annually. The discarded tiurnlug
match, cigar or clgaret Indoors or out
Is a potential fire hazard that should
bo watched. Especially along highways
such Items, carelessly thrown,
have caused appalling fire losses.
A lighted match or clgaret thrown
from the window of a passing motor
car recently caused the total destruction
by fire of all the household furnishings
of a man who was transporting
them In a truilor attached to his
car from one city to another. Altho
the flro loss ho entailed through no
fault of his own may have hpen partially
covered by fire Insurance, the
fact Is not altered that except for the
careless act of a smoker he would
have had no Iobs at all.
That recent blaze brings home the
lesson of more Caution which ought
to he instilled in the minds of all smokers.
motorists and others, awakening
them to the dangers Inherent In
one small careless act on their part.
Ash trays and otliei receptacles are
now part of the regular equipment of
every modern vehicle, Vet the temptation
of an open window at the elbow
of the occupant too often prompts a
thoughtless act of discarding a glowing
clgaret?Just enough to Ignite u
hit of grass by the roadside, often resulting
In serious conflagration.
This sorry lesson has prompted the
laws prohibiting smoking in motor
cars on roads through forest preserves
and similar ureas.
This Is no argument against smoking
In itself, but Is should surely
awaken the iudlvlduul smoker to a serious
sense of responsibility and caution.
destruction has begun
Often you hear the thoughtless
words: "Walt until the war gets
really going. think of the destruction!"
But the destruction has already hegun.
Every time you read a headline
saying that a bomber has been shot
down, It means that $150,000 ship, product
of the finest Ingenuity and materials.
has become Junk. It means
death or removal from action of a pilot
It cost $30,000 to train.
All these material losses, outside
the priceless lives, mean the skill and
labor of men gone for nothing. Instead
of going to serve men and make
their lives easier, this skill and labor
drag them down, lower their standard
of living.
That Is the effect of all the destruction
of war, and already it has gone
a long way in Europe, with the end
not In sight.?'Sumter Item.
Erosion and leaching are responsible
for 40 percent of the annual loss
of organic or humus matter In the
country's harvosted acres. while
crops remove only 26 percent.

"All Carolinas" Day
ai The Polo Field
it win n>? "Tba Carolina#" day at
the number one polo field Sunday. In
order to give the fane of Charlotte,
Charleston, Columbia, and other cities
time to drive here the game will be'
started one hour later?at 4 o'clock.
The polo program Sunday call# for
the second game of the Cool Springs
series with Cool Spring# meeting a
foursome from Mulberry plantation.
In the first game of the #eriea last
week Mulberry nosed out a victory
by a lone goal, the oount being 6 to B.
Gtybl Springs use every bit of
Htategy Sunday to knot the series.
The tight game of last Sunday Insures
a lot of thrills for Sunday.
Mulberry will use the same players |
of the preceding event, namely, Jack
Clyburn at the No. 1 position; Charlie
Kobertson at No. 2, Kirby Tupper at I
No. 3 and Carl llghtfoot at No. 4.
Lightfoot was high scorer last Sunday
with, three goals, with Tupper
checking In-with two and Clyburn
with one.
Cool Springs will have Burns at
No. 1, DuBose at No. 2, Little at No.
3 and Bates at No, 4. Burns and DuBose
divided honors in scoring for the
yellow silks laBt week, each registering
two goals. Bates with one completed
the scoring for Cool Springs.
The game last Sunday was unique.]
dn that not a goal was scored in the
two chukkers, something that
has not happened before in the past
two seasons. The closeness of the
ability of the competing teams assures
some spectacular play.
The game will not start until four
o'clock, permitting of the polo fans
from about the state and North Carolina
to have their dinners and drive
to this city in time to see the entire
game. The change was made after
the polo club management ascertained
that a majority of the spectators
have been arriving when the second
chukker is In progress.
The Camden publicity 'bureau has
announced that next season the polo
program would be headlined by a Series
played for a trophy presented by
a donor whose name will not 'be announced
until nex% November.
The name Kattegat, where many of
the big-naval battles in Norway are
being fought, means "cat's throat" in
Scandinavian.
When Is Honesty
The Best Policy?
Honesty Is the best policy?except
between men and women.
There are some lies men and women
had just better tell each other?
or else.
Men nrust always... pretend that a
woman is beautiful?even If she Is
as homely as a mud pie.
Women must always tell men they
are good looking ? even If they are
the typical "blind date" specimens.
Men must never let on that a woman
is able to take care of herself?
even if everyone knows she runs the ,
family.
Women must never voice the bus- ,
picion that perhaps a man, simply by !
virtue of being a man, might not ;
know all there is to know about poll- J
tics, baseball, world affairs, women,
and the weather. j
Men must always like what women
'cook. j
Women must treat even the most,
old-maidish man as though he Is a potential
menace. And the less a ladles'
man he Is, the more important it is
to pretend he ia one. - ?
Men must never admit that they j
hate the neckties their wives pick j
out for them.?Exchange. j
