imAkasbd purchases of
FERTILIZERS. '
We have seen through the
State papers that there has been
a large increase in the purchase
,of commercial fertilizers this
year -over that of last year. This
is- the natural result of the ab
noraaajly high price of cotton
this spring, and the land on
which It is deposited will benefiit
from it even it the farmer who
uses it does not.
We are a firm believer in high
fertilisation of lanjl in the ab
stract, but we are greatly afraid
-that the price of cotton now will
seriously affect the future pros
perity of the country unless the
farmer exercises the wisest judg
ment in pitching his crop this
year. Everyone that knows us
knows that we never planted a
foot of land, but they also know
that we have been raised in a po
sition to give oiore or less valua
ble advicexto the farmers, hav
ing been for many years the
bookkeeper and practical manag
er of a large commercial concern
in this city., a position in which
me had the fullest facilities for
observing the ? results attained
by different farmers throughout
;this and adjoining counties in
the use of commercial fertilizers.
. We will give you a free gratis
for nothing resume of our obser
vations during a period of more
than twenty-five years, and if,
/bfter giving it to you, you don't
?&re to accept our ndvice, we
cannot help it, but must let you
rush on to your own destruction.
In the -first place, we have ob
served that the average farmer
thinks if he doesn't attempt to
cultivate thirty -Mb acres to the
plow he is not doing anything in
toe way of farming. A greater
mistake was never made. He can
easily take the same stock, the
?lee fertilizer, and demote a
third less time to the proper cul
tivation of twenty acre& and
make larger crops than he cu^
with the same fertilizer and a
praeh greater expenditure of
time and labor on tho larger
crop of thirty or thirty-flve ac
res, with a corresponding saving
in vital force of the live stock
employed in the culthtatioir of
the smaller area cultivated.
To come down more closely to
details, we will say that our ex
perience in or along this line
teaches us that tho man who
works twenty acres to the plow
and puts six hundred pounds of
fertilizer to tho acre moots with
S eater success than the other
llcy who attempts to cultivate
thirty acres with the same force
and uses the same amount of fer>
tilizers in the aggregate or say
four hundred pounds to the acre.
This opinion we give you us
taken from actual observation of
tho two styles of farming. As
jkli r,of us hope that cotton
Will bo as high in prioo
next fall as it was this
spring, this kind of talk may
notsotwoll, but we don't know
what wo will get for tho next
cotton prop, so to all our friends
we aay, don't pin your faith ou
ten, eleven or t vqlvo cont cotton
next fall, but roduco your acre
age, plant fc# enough corn to
carry you through another year,
and raise your own hog.

Please road the following clip
ping from the Record, and our
bommeQt*:
Gov. Hey ward to-day roceivod
the following telegram from Sav
annah:
?All my peoplo and property
are in South Carolina. Will you
graht me privilogo of returning
there. Answer immediately.
(Signed) J. B. Bennett.'
Opon investigation it was
found that Bennott was pardon
ed by Gov. McSwconey in 1H99
upon condition thai be leave the
State. He vis convicted: of m or
der in 1900 and sentenced to life
imprisonment. Gov. Herward
refused to let Mm return/'
"We have long beer of .the opin
ion that this form of pardoning
prisoners convicted of eapital
or other offenses is a reproach
upon tike good name of South
Carolina. Why under the sun
should the Governor of this or
any other State release upon a
neighboring commonwealth a
criminal justly, or unjustly, con
victed of an offense against the
peace and dignity of the State
in which -he was convicted? If
the Governor of South Carolina
thn?a that the convict has been
sufficiently punished for his
crime against society, it comes
strictly within his province to
pardon him. But this half way
kind of a pardon is not only un
just, but, we think, immorul.
As we look at it, it simply
means that _ the Governor of
South Carolina says to the Gov
ernornor, or the' people, of an
other State, "1 send you a crim
inal of a deeper or a lighter type
in exchange for one or more of
yours. " This seems to me to be
the long and the short of it. We
hope that Governor Heyward
and succeeding Governors will
abolish this abominable practice
of issuing these conditional par
dons. Either a criminal has, in
the eyes of the Governor, expi
ated his crime, or he has not. If
he has not, then keep him in the
penitentiary where he belongs;
but, if he has, then grant him an
unconditional pardon.
THE WAR IN THE EAST.
There i? absolutely nothing lat# to
report concerning the war in the East,
except a reported attack on Tort Ar
thur by the Japs on February 2ftati. in
which they are said to have seriously
damaged three Ruslian war sbip? anil
destroyed a torpedo boat. The increas
ing ill feeling against Americans in
Russia, and an outbreak against them,
will most certainly be followed by de
cisive action on the part of our govern
ment. The Chinese, too, are active,
twenty-five to thirty-five thousand of
their troops being massed near the
seat or war.
A Card From Mr. Williams.
Mr. Editor: I fully appreciate the
very complimentary card of ( Voters of
West Wateree) published in a recant
issue of the Chronicle, and after con
sulting with quite a number of my
friends from different sections of the
county I have consented to 'enter the
race for Sheriff. 1 have no doubt that
s)ine parties will criticise my entering
for said position again, but my friends
think it my duty to them and myself
that I seek vindication from the way
that the choice of the majority of the
voters was treated in the last election
for sheriff of our county. I claim that
I am, and always have been a true
Democrat, and 1 promised in the last
election and do now, to-abide by the re
sult of the Democratic primary elect
ion, and the official tabulated return*
showed that 1 was the nominee ot the
party (see tabulated returns below)
but by some means, only known to a few
the figures were changed and the voice
of the majority ignored. Under these
circumstances I deem it my duty to
enter my protest against theso unfair
methods, and all true Democrats will
denounce any such actum within the
party. .R.B.WILLIAMS.

After Wach't IHmn. *
Mr. W: T. Martin, a wealthj whole*
?ale grocer and exteMlvt brmrr, ?T
Columbia, 8. ?., died in that city on
the 23th nit. of conceited pneumonia..
Ilia death was rather sadden, after
an ilineca of onl y one ^ek. The at
tack followed exposures to which he
had subjected himself while seeing af
ter tne transfer of bia farm in the
northern suburps of the city, wbicL is
to be used as the new State Fal?
Grounds. Mr. Martin had rallied Fri
day night, sleeping well until 7 o'clock
Saturday, when both lungs became aN
tected, and be sank rapidly, being too
weak to rally In his advanced age-4*
years."
Mr. Martin was not a member of any
church, and the luneral took place
from bis residence.
Mr. Martin leaves an estate worth
probably $260,000. Much of this is la
farms located in this and Lexington
countier, and some in North Carolina.
Exactly what he was wortli, and the
specific properties he held, are not y?t
definitely known, even to the members
of the family.
Society Notes.
A slight lull in the usual round. of
gaieties took place in social circles this
past week, the inclemency of the wea
ther, no doubt, being partly to blame.
There are over 500 tourists in our
town at present, and amusement of
some variety must be found, and many
undaunted spirits took part in the pa
per chase of last Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Annie Johnson again running;
reynard to his lair.
Polo lovers were disappointed last
Fridav afternoon when it was learned
that only a practice game would be
played, for the excitement Of the match
games runs high on iiii-sd afternoon*,
and they seem necessary to finish up
the pleasures of the week. .
On account of the indisposition* of
Mrs. John W. Corbet t, the hostess ap
pointed for Friday .afternoon, notea
was held at the Club House, but the
usual gathering will take place this
Friday. *
The guests of Ilobkirk Inn "made
hay" while the sun shone on Monday
by inaugurating a TennisTournament.
Mr. Barstow kindly lending his court
for the occasion, and quite a fi?ay
crowd took part in tlie games, either,
as participants or encouraged.
tations wer? issued this week by Mrs.
Rogers L. Barstow, to an after
noon devoted to progressive euchre,
given in honor of Mrs. Henry Smith,
on Wednesday, from 8 to 6. Needless
ts sav, every one had an enjoyable' af
ternoon, for "Bohemia" always affords
tlie^ucky guests a jolly gpod time. ,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bull and family
are expected here this month, and will

the season.
Mrs. and Miss Prescott have taken
Mrs. Mandevilie*s place, the old MeRae
house, for the next few month*, Mrs.
Mandeville seeking shelter at Baron
von Tresckow's.
It is a pleasure to notice the devel
opment of the old vacant lot, between
Mr. I]ldr?'dge> and Capt. Villepigue's,
into a ven(:ib!i> pleasure garden, un
der the skillful h.:nd* of Mrs. Dow, the
present owner. A picturesque summer
house is in course or erection, and the
terraces and winding driven have
transformed the npp.'arnuce of the
whole place.
The ladies of Grace Church had to
postpone their weekly Wafer T?a,
which was to have been held at the
home or Mrs. Parish, on account ot the
extreme Hints? of Mrs Gamcwell, Mrs.
DeSaussure's mother.
Last Friday evening a few invited
guests had the pleasure hearing some
fine music at Zemp A Depass's Drug
store, by three musicians, from Wil
mington, N. C. Harp, violin and flute
were the instruments. Mr. Frank Eld
redge was fortunate enough to procure
their services for Jtho rext few weeks,
and the guests of his popular home
like "Inn will enjoy this musical inno
vation.
Mrs. Lawrence Lee, of N?w York,
formerly Miss Lexie McDonald, who
was so pleasantly known in Camden, is
a guest at Bloomsbury. Mrs, T,ee no
tices many favorable changes here in
the last eight years, but finds none of
Camden's charm gone, in Kpite of our
unusual weather.
After a short visit to IMrs. Duls, ne*
Davis, in Charlotte, N. C.,and to Mrs.
Green, in Spartanburg, Miss Davis
Porclier will return to her home in El
Paso, Texas, much to the sorrow of
her friends in Camden.

i The Egyption flute was only a
tow's horn with three or torn1
holes in it, and their harp or ly
re had only three strings; the
Grecian lyre had onjy seven
Strings and was very small, be
ing held in one hand; the Jewish
trumpets that made the walls of
Jericho fall down, were only
%ms' horns; their flute was the
same as the Egyptian; they had
no instrumental music but by
percussion, of which the great
est boast made was the psaltery,
a small triangular harp or lyre
w.ith wire strings, and struck
with an iron needle or stick;
their sacbut was something like
a bagpipe; the timbrel was a
tambourine, and the dulcimer
was a horizontal harp, with wire
strings, and struck with a stick
like the psaltery. They had no
written music; had scarcely a
vowel in their language, and yet
according to Joscphus, they had
200,000 musicians playing at the
dedication of the temple of Sol
omon. Mozart would have died
in such a concert in the greatest
agony.
