THE PUBLIC IS PLEASED
Ah a general rule, editorial comment
is provocative of commendation
and disapproval, commendation from
thoHo who think In tho same lino of
thought uh does tho odltor, disapproval
from those who aro opposed
to tho idouw or thoughts advanced In
tho editorial.
It Is with u groat deal of satlsfactlon
that tho editor of the Chronicle
gives thought to the reaction to tho
editorial cdtnment on the McCorklo
administration of city uffalrs as expressed
Itt the Ihhuo of this paper on
Friday, August 8.
That tho HUggeHtlon that tho present
administration he continued for
the future when tho city election day
arrives next spring met with approval
was evidenced by the many
messages of a congratulatory nature
which came to The Chronicle office,
Four years ago the citizens of Camden
had visions of the city taking its
proper place In tho scheme of affairs
In the Palmetto state and placed the
administration of the municipal government
Into the hands of a practically
new administrative group headed
by Francis N .McCorkle, who had
successfully represented his own ward
as a council member for several
terms.
That this confidence of tho public
has not boen misplaced Is evidenced
by tho exceptional record of the past
four years, during which Camden has
taken rank as one of the most thriving
communities in the southeast.
Municipal Improvements have virtually
transformed tho city Into a new
and modern stream-lined community.
And so it Is with a frank admission
(of approval that The Chronicle Is able
to record In Its news columns the
announced Intention of Francis N.
Mc Cork Jo to bo a candidate tor a
third term as mayor or the city of
Camden. And H 1a the hope of this
newspaper and wo bollevo the hope of
tho forward looking citizens of the city
that the members of the council who
have been steadfast In their support
of the mayor shall be returned to
office with his honor.

MALARIA
Malaria occurs only whore there ere mosquito*
and Is developed or carried by the anopheliue
mosquito from one sufferer of malaria to another
victim* .
Many errors are made In calling othefVfteases
malaria. Blood tests only can give the physician
positive proof of malaria germs. Chills ana fever
do not always indicate malaria, as there are other
disease* such as undulant fever having such
symptoms.
Diagnosing your own case as malaria, and dosing
with quinine or other drugs, ia not safe. There are
other and quicker wayS known
to your physician, and be is the
one to prescribe for you.
Prevention of malaria i$ to keep
mosquitos from biting you. All
mosquitos do hot carry the disease
germs, but you never can
tell when one will plant the
seed. As one medical writer
humorously said: "If you must
have mosquitos, keep malarial
visitors away from them, so you
will not get infected.?;
