' Camden, S. C.. Mfli 8st 11MMV.
CITY 1'ltIMAltY.
The first primary election to
bo held in Greater Camden, will
come off on Tuesday, the 10th
inst., under practically the same
'rules as governed former pri
'tuaries. We hud these rules in
type for publication in this issue,
"but more important matter
crowded thorn out.
The most important tiling for
the voter to know is, that it is
not necessary for him to have
a registration certificate to make
'!i?m a qualified voter. It is
all important however, that
his name shall appear on the
roll of his ward club. This little
matter will, we have no doubt
be attended to by the secreta
ries of clubs, and the candidates
in the various wards.
The most important thing for
the voter to do in this matter is
*to come out and vote, and wlion
voting, to cast an independent j
ballot. There are lots of things
under the surface in this elec
tion, and the immediate and
future welfare of the city de
jhmkI's upon the result, so we
urge every voter to come out!
uud vote for those candidates
Who will better serve the inter
ests of the city. We don't ask
you to vote for your enemy even
fcf you think he is a better man
I
for the position he seeks than
the other man. We do ask you
\hough, to be v<*ry certain that
lie Is your enemy before casting,
it may be, a ballot based on
personal feeling, and not one for
the best interests of the city.
Those kind of votes some
times do more real and lasting
iiarm in the few little seconds it
takes to cast them than can be
overcome in ye.irs of earnest
work by those who have the
real interest of the city at heart,
' Especially is there pregnant
(lamrer from those kind of votes
t... - ->< ? -
m the present crisis. Mutters
of tlio gravest importance will
have 10 bo acted upon by the iu
comiug couucil, and it is going
to take brain, patriotism and
nerve, coupled with conserva
tism to have these things right,
and to keep them right. The
police, fire and street depart
ments will have to undergo al
most complete overhauling.
Other mutters of almost equal
importance will require thought
ful consideration by a council
supposed to be composed of men
capable of giving careful thought
to the subjects brought before
them. See to it voters that we
do have that kind of a council,
and all will be well.
OUlt SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The address on Sunday School
work by Rev. H. A. Stillman,
Field Secretary of Sunday
Schools of the Southern Baptist
Convention, was delivered as
per public and church notice on
Friday night.
The re i';i tin, ill audience which
attended were much pleased with
it. It has been said that the
Sunday school is the nursery of
the church, and that the well
fare and spiritual growth of tin*
church depends largely upon
the spiritual character of those
who are t urned out of the nursery
to taue their place wi thing the
body of the church itself.
If this is a true saying, it
looks seriously like the future
holds out small encouragement
to Christian church members in
this locality if they hope to see
their places tilled by succeeding
generations, for general interest,
iu Sunday school work in this
city is at alow ebb.
In making this remark we re
fer to the majority of church
members, those who have ^uiple
time to devote an hour or so to
the Sunday school each week,
and not to the minority who have
Sunday after Sunday, kept a
flickering tlame of life in this in
valuable adjunct to the true
spiritual growth of the cuh relies.
? If it s all the same to you
friends, we would like to have a
little more two-foot oak and pine
wood. It seems easy to load
your empty wagon as you start'
to town.
iSctliune Springs.
From time immemorial, the
springs of Bethune luive been
noted for the peculiar mineral
qualities of their water. They are
located near that active little
stream of water, Lynches river,
winch at time of high water,
covers them and renders them im
possible of access for brief peri
ods. With the fall of the waters
however, the springs appear
again in all their beauty, and life
giving properties.
The two principal springs are
used for bathing purposes only,
and are known as the blue
spring and the big spring. The
blue spring is so named because j
of the bluish tint of iis water. |
The big spring is the favorite
bathing pool, and a bath once
taken in its waters is said to be
an episode in one's life never to
be forgotten. It is for the most
part, very deep, attaining a depth
of twelve or more feet, but the I
water is of such clearness, that
even a pin can be readily dis
cerned 011 its lloor of pure white
sand. Both springs are feci from
the bosom of mother earth, 110
surface water Terming any part j
of their contents
It lias been matter for wonder
that these two natural curiosi
ties in the way of mineral spi nigs
have not beeu taken in hand by
some company of capitalists, and
made to take their rightful place j
among the most distinguised I
mineral springs of the country, j
j Hoth possess mineral properties j
J of a high order, differing 111 those j
properties from any other known 1
mineral waters, as was we think 1
shown by analysis a number ol j
years ago. Dining the spring,
summer and early full, hundreds i
of people from the adjacent j
counties of Lancaster and Ches
terfield resort to these springs '
for weeks at a time, bringing ;
with them tents, and all the ne- I
cessities for a regular outing for
healt h and pleasure.
That these springs could be
made a paying property, there
is no doubt. A few thousands i
spent in making them accessible i
at all times, and a few thousand
more in the building of a mod
erate sized hotel, and a number
of neat cottages for rent to those
who come to try the curative
properties of the springs, can
not fail to be a paying invest
ment. The property is well lo- j
cated, it being only about a mile j
from Betliune station, on the i
main line of the He aboard Air
Line.
A visit to this picturesque!
spot will amply repay any of
lour 1101 theru visitor*., as it is
absolutely unique. Samples of.
the water and sand can be seen I
by all at our office through the'
courtesy of Mr. J. E. McLaumi, I
the owner of the property on
which the springs are located.
A Tempting Oll'er.
The first candidate for Con
gressional, State, circuit o r
legislative honors, who hands
us his card, accompanied by the
needful, gets a write-up. The!
second one secures a handsome
chromo.
This offer holds good as to
county offices also, but we
put them in a separate class, as
those who hold and have tie Id
a county office assert thai there
is more work than honor in them.
Accepting the assertion as I
fact if the second fellow who
comes out, is a single man, we
will tie him up to his honey
suckle free. Don't all speak at
once, as at present there is no
danger of the other fellow get
ting ahead of you. He is .vatch
ing that cat.

' It. appears to bo the intention
of iarmers throughout the coun
try to increase the amount of
commercial fertilizers used per
acre. It is very evident that tli?|
farmers thoroughly understand .
that the States making the e >t
ton crop last year are States I
that used commercial fertilizers.
The Carolinas, (Jeorgia and Ala
bama have made the cotton, and
they are great commercial ferti
lizer States. The increase per
acre <foes a long way toward
solving the labor question.
Farmers Meeting.
The farmers meeting came off
last Thursday as advertised, ll |
was an earnest and interesting
meeting. Addresses were made
by Messrs. .1. WalUer Kloyd of I
our county, l<\ II- Hyatt, I?\ H.
YV* ston and Dr. Kay of Colum
bia. All the speakers warned
the farmers against increasing
the cotton acreage. A plan was
adopted looking to the erection
of a cotton warehouse, t he price
of shares being placed at live
dollars. OT the one thousand
shares needed, t wo hundred and
t wenty seven were subsenbed
011 the spot. Hooks of subscrip
tion are open at the Messenger
ottice.
