*Ia oUr contempory,
^he.Qfet* of Sunday, we note a
rtaagntfloent write-up of Aiken.
OPhia^is, .We suppose paid for by
Aheoityof Aiken. 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.
We hope that tho council will
?ake this matter up. We hope
fhat rtiotiey Whlcfl as a citizen
and a tax-payer wo must thiuK
js being wasted, will bo diverted
^o worthy purposo?

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

punishment should not be allow

The moraPeffect. of an orderly

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

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. . ,

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

many he is open, does nothing

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

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.
