Now, while .we do not desire to disparage 4he claims of Aiken as an almost ?deaV winter resofrt, we 66 Want (to say that Camden is the real 4>hing, an absolutely ideal report for winter tourists. Both cities it re on the sai!lle degree of lati tude, both therefore* possess practically the same climatic ^conditions. The principal ad vantages possessed by us over Aiken is our better roads, our inore beautiful scenery and the {frarm-herted hospitality of our pitteens- Aiken is esseasiully -ffOathernized. We are if uny , thing, intensely Southern. We 4?dlC0tee most cordially ihe stranger within our gates. When we use the term Northern - jlzed, we intend no rntlectiuu ppon the people of our Northern ?bordrtf. We m'erely want to jfemphacize the fuct that ? the Northern nature js colder than ^liat of those of our more tropi ??1 clime. ffow iu view of thesoself evi*. jtlent facts, why is it tliut opv filly council does not folio \t the example of Ailten, and Secure Jome competent party to gi#e us ? write-up? The Cuts necessary in a production of this character will cost but little. The cost of ooiQ.pgsitipn will be slight, arid tlfc^tiarges for insertion m two jOr threo representative news papers will be too small for con sideration when we take into *xfrfstder&tton the tremendous advantages that will accrue from the exploiting of the great /Matures we possess over othef fesorts. jCachden is iu the first respect, fav ahead of any other Southern Resort in historic interest. A tfiere glance at the recent book .|Aib)t9h6d here on our people, ?heir traditions, our actuul facts pf occurrences as chronicled in }iisto:y, and inscribed on endur ing stoua should and will con vince any history lover that a #isit to Camden, witn its splen did tourist hotels, its almost |ntre water, its hospitable poople, |ts magnificent winter and spring ?<Mnery, arid ltd grand climate fs the place par excellence in tvliioh to spend most pleasantly 4 he irion ths in which the North js ice bound, and inaccessible to jTiivel of an ordinary nature.

In conclusion, we want to say that there are crimes for which we think the perpetrators should rticetre exemplary punishment, but we think also that the class es of offenders deserving this punishment should not be allow ed to darken a courthouse door. The moraPeffect. of an orderly crowd of citizens taking the offender out and stringing him up on a near-by tree will be of more benefit to the community than a dozen legal hangings. Soclcty Notes. The iuteret-t Of the whole com munity socially, has centered in tin Polo Tournament which has beeu go ing on for the past week and crowd* have attended each game. On last Friday afternoon a special was run from Columbia for the game and about teveuty attended from the Capita) City , the Inclemency of the weather deterring many. The game was be tween fours for the Cameron Cups and was won after a long contest by th% R ds, Mr. K. G. Whistler being the 'Slur" of the evening. Monday Afternoon, an enthusiastir nudience witnessed the Finals between teams of threes for the Child's cup-, t he line up was as follows;- Blues. Whistler, Russell and Newberry, of Tdxas, Kennedy, Goodwin and ltuli for the Reds. Three periods were played, Mr. Win. Salmond, acting as Referee and Mr. C. v.". 11 room us time keeper. The goah were hotly contested but the Blue* were too strong for the Reds and tht n'imi' when ended stood 6 to 2 in favor of the Blues. Wednesday afternoon will close the Tournament wflh a contest between ihe Camden team composed of Bars tow, Kennedy, Whistler and Boykin versus the Taconic Polo team of Hart ford, Conn., represented by Russell. Goodwin, Kly and Bull. This gain*: will be the best and most interesting flayed this year and a special will b? run from Columbia. The cups for tin occasion are presented by the Countr> [Club. Besfdes polo, a series of matel games of tennis and golf have beer played during this week, the golf tean. from Charleston playing here on Sat urday. Yates and Ticknor playet' their usual telling and steady games, but in spite of it all, the Charleston lieain were victorious. On Friday afternoon the lawn in front of Mrs. Taylor's home on uppei Broad street was filled with the fairj forms of dainty little white clad maid ens enjoying a birthday parly. After play dainty refreshments delighted their little hearts and all returned home w >rn out from having such a ?'good time. " Miss Flower of Columbia was tin guest of Miss Bessie Zemp oil Saturday and Sunday and sang in the Episcopal church in tlie uioriling and the Meth odist church at night. Miss Flower hopes to be able t? bring her talent and musical advan tages to Camden if she can secure a large enough class and will 'certainly llll a long felt want in our town, for if we have any musical talent here it has lam dormant a long time and we need stirring up. power tlie policy holders to votes this had not been done and it was thought a good way to get Hyde out. Chauncy Depew, John D. Critnmins and other wise heads attended the meet ing, but it was found Hyde con trolled the meeting. It was agreed that the policy holders should be enfranchised by gred Hal process, Hyde namiug 26, the policy holders 28, and Hyde, continuing in office, but it will take 4 years to accomplish this transition, ar Hyde insists that only a fourth of the board is to be named each year for four years. Another split is caused by the insistance that porsonal instead of proxy votes shall be cast. Of course while enfran chised, the thousands of policy holders would never gather in person. The Company is safe, Hyde cannot injure it, would trot if he could, could rot if he would, ior the New york state laws throw so many safe guards iround insurance companies, Uiat no one man or set of men can safely do wrong. Iteja.no has gone back to Kurooe? p61ifcy holders here are iiot alarmed ? they are accustom ed to these excitements. If Jiose away would take with a rood degree of salt the sensa tional newspaper news, as Now Yorkers do, they woifld not get nervous so easily. Hyde will spend his money as lie pleases ? let him do it, it only liands and does the world more good after it passes out than re maining in his clutches. When a cool $250,000 is poured for an affair by one of these fel lows, it does not follow that it is wasted, for the waste is only to tire oxtontof the consumption. Possibfy $50,000 is Consumed ? the other $200,000 merely passes to othors aud is distributed, go ing into palms needing it and who will use it moro wisely. Hyde holds the whip hand and will continuo in the saddle ? it is private funds he spends aiid not company money. Hyde's ex travagance 'is so common here among the immensely rich that little attention is paid to such. Correction of Krrort*. At somewhat, rapid strides we aro coming to the conclusion that we are not infallibly correct iu giving news to our people. Wti are compelled to make cor rections iu two news items pub lished in The People last week and the week previous. One in stance was the death notico of Mrs. Martiu. \\ t gave her place of residence as West VVat?ree, when as u matter of fact she was livlug near Azmon in the Eastern section of the county. We may mention iu connection with this that her funeral services will be couduct od on April 17th. at Boaverdani church by Rev. W.'S. Walters. Our second slip-up, if our friends will excuso a slang phrase, was in thanamo we gave to the new proprietor of The Lowranco Inn. We published him as a Mr. Vincent, when it should have read Mr. Kvaus. Mr. K?'ahs Is i)6\v In charge, and is said to be a good feeder and lodger. . , Orapltop^oiio I^utcftiitnineiit.

Efforts of everf. kind tyro beetl made to mutuallae mutters, one day promising ad justment, the next some new diff?retfc*6 arrlsing. James H. Hyde hold a mo jor it y of the sctdOTercd he ie going to control ttrflflrousted by legislation. " \ . . *The Equitable is one of the giant companies with its $400, 000,00 Capital and $1, 500,000,000 insnrance. It is financially the equal of many great goverments. Hyde's father bied and Jaifles H. succeeded to the virtual manage ment of the corporation, only 28 years of age, an up-to-now youug man he spends lavishly and does not care who knows it, the money - being his own. Hyde's lucent great ball, caused the present commotion. Rejane the French Actress was one of the guests, and it was said mouuted a table and danced the "can- can;" then followed the repoft irtthfc-papers that Hyde was going to build her a Theatre in New York. The- staid old heads of the Company concluded these things would weaken con (ieence in a corporation having at its head a man doing as ifyde wus reported * to be doing. These and other stories of Hyde's doing were of course ex aggerated the papers paying for matter not per column but in proportion to the sensatioual featuses, regardless of facts. Hyde is ohly what -others are here no more and much less than many he is open, does nothing under cover. The charter give, the Diroctors authority to em Tho company will go on? solid and sound as over? Hyde will not chauge his ways to please the over particular ? little by lit tle the excitement will die out and soon we will hear no more about it, until perhaps Hyde gives another big banquet ? which he will do when it suits him to do so ? ho is a pood head for the company, and so long as ho pay? for his pleasures, the best thing ? tho only thing to do is to submit. It is too late to legislate at this session of tho assembly, so that no chango can be expected for a year or more ? plan all they please ? tlio legis lature is tho only powor that can reduce Hyde, so long as he holds a majoritv of the stock ? this lie does? tins he will con tinue to do. Tom La'vson wired offering million# for Hydo's holdings, the offor of course was disregarded. It should bo said in justice to Tlyde that llejane and her man agers were emphatic in their denials of the stories referred to ? buf the same publicity was not given to those denials that was to tho original sjories. .1 Just * trotd to Farmers The UnM Wtfrihoui* C6. ?
