ZCbe people X MERCHANT'S NEWSPAPER. A COUNTRY MAN'S NEWSP*P?R. A NEWSPAPER FOR SELLER AND BUYER. PURSUED EVERY THURSDAY, \N. A SCHKOCK, Polisher. ^SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 PER AHKUM. Camden, S. C.. Jun. 24tli, 1007. XiOVEIWOR ANSEL'S MES SAGE. With all respect to our new povernor, who is most heartily .our friend, we must confess to a little disappoiutmnet in his in itial message to the General As sembly on the 15lli, inst. It was smoothly written, but so far as avo could see, carried with it no special recommendations for .changes in existing conditions that had not already been ex ploited on the stump last fall. J?or instance, he recommends the widening of the scope of the .common schools, but fails to sug gest how this wideniug process js to be accomplished. He lays stress upon the necessity of the /establishment of high schools for the benefit of those who are jiot able to attend college, but iiow or where these schools .should be instituted there is not the faintest suggestion or iuti /nation. His remarks as to our ^colleges and universities are of .extreme paucity. Not a word is written in the way of recommen dations. On the whiskey question he .advanced nothing more than a re- hash of his speeches last year. ?)n the good roads question, he recommends the petitioning of Congress to furnish the mouey to build good roads. In our humble judgment, there is about as much probability of Con gress doing such a thing as there is of us going up in a .modern skyscraper ou an eleva tor. We are ou record as to .what we consider the only feasi ble system to adopt to assure us good roads. That is, the con tract system, using convicts as far as practicable. The Governor further recom mends the abolishment of what are kuovvn as Bucket Shops. ?There is nothing to cavil at in this, as the bucket shop is cer tainly an evil, but just so long as there is a telegraph ticker iu a ^community, and a cotton or stock broker to take your orders, one * jean buy all tho cotton futures he wants, and dabble in stocks to Jiis heart's content. On Rail roads, the Governor is emi nently sound. (See our little squib on "Car Shortage" pub Jished elsewhere in this issue.) His remarks on immigration .and Confederates are alright as far as they go. Tho concluding sentences of tho message are very beautiful, and stamp Gov ernor Ansel as possessing a poe.t'3 soul. A PHANTASM. Camden occupies a unique place in the galaxy of cities and towps in tho Stato. In what Other community have wo a re cord of tho things that Camden has done, and is doing to build lip tho city? There is no such record as we have made and are making. (Our merchants and business men generally, stand together, and push, over push onward for the common good of the city. Any matter -of local interest which comes to the attention of a citizen is promptly phoned or .carried to the editor or one or more of tho several editors oT tho local papers for publication. If an improvement, enlargement or change in any building in the city is projected, the owner of tho building, or the contractor .who has assumed charge of the wgrk promptly notifies tho press, which remark applies to the erection of new buildings, either public or private, Tho Banks issue in all the local papers quarterly statements of their condition. Tho Cotton mills, And in fact tho managers of every enterprise within the city limits shovy ty? Jtljp world through the columns of |Lho local news: j>aj>ers from time tq time tint they ore not ashamed of their record, tfeus inviting in a mute but powerful way, others to cast their lot wiili us, and thus as* sist us in keeping our garden blossoming as the rose. There is uot a merchant, or other busi ness man but subscribes to the three local papers, they realm- , ing fully that the life and con tinued prosperity of the place jjies in the hauds of the press, jlu addition to cheerfully sub scribing to the pajx?r, aud pay ing for it, each and every one of them further extend their sup l>ort t>y advertising in all of them to a greater or lesser ex tent. It is true that a lot of this advertising is sporadic, which in a number of instances makes it in some degree ineffective, but the spirit of the thing is what makes that thing count and re flect credit upon tho citizen. In connection with the above, we may mention that the sub scription patronage to our seve ral newspapers is not confined to the business and professional class of our people. All of the public within our borders sub scribe to at least one of the city papers, and in a majority of in stances a paid subscription is handed in to all of them. We could elaborate along this line ihrough a couple of columns or more, but we think that we have said enough to convince anyone who may be skeptically inclined that Camden is the real thing in the way of push and en terprise, and that with our na tural advantages, together with the true spirit of progress in constant evidence, if we don't have an urban population of 15,000 within the next ten years, the fault will be what may be called, an tntangible quantity, as it will not lie with us. We are pushing, always pushing, and any community that con stantly displays that spirit must of necessity rise to eminence in the estimation of the outside world. CAifc SHORTAGE. From every section of the country cornea the wail from busiuess men of uuscionable de lay in the delivery of freight. We have also suffered from this cause. The entire business in terests of the nation are suffer ing. Complaint after complaiut has been made to the various Railroad authorities but with no result. These complaints are always answered by the excuse of shortage of cars. We believe this excuse to be fallacious and merely intended to deceive the public asio the real condition of affairs. There is no question in our mind that the real reason why the business public are not properly sorved is, that the rail road authorities are negligent in the matter of keeping trace of their cars. Merely as an in stance in support of this posi tion we are credibly informed that/ a line of not less than thirty five or forty, or more cars have been on a siding at Spaulding station for more than six weeks. We have also the insurance that thirty-live cars have been stand ing on the side track of the State Dispensary more than a month. This will, we suppose, give a fair idea of the general condition of affairs throughout the couutry, as railroad manage ment is pretty much the same throughout the whole. The remedy lies we think in the hands of the railroad com mission. That body should have the right, upon complaint by any citizeu of any number of ompty cars romaining an un reasonable length of timo at any point, to fine the railioad com pany upon whose lines these cars rest, one half of the fine go ing to the informer. If this was done we would hear less of de layed freights. What Ninety Hix Need*. An awakening of a spirit of enterprize on tho part of her citizens. An extension of good will and encouragement to every new enterprize instead of a cold critical far off look to watch whether that enterprize will suc ceed. The glad up lifting hand of loyal citizenship beneath the material development of the town. Tho hearty cheer and "success to you" spirit instead of disparagement- and fault find ing. These characteristics mark the citizenship of tho up-to-date progressive town where material (Jeyelopment is daily in evidence. Let Ninety Six take on this spirit as u unit and watch the result. ? Ninety Six Star. . Exactly ho. We commend the above to the thoughtful consider ation ot quite a number of our citizens, and would suggest that, as a first evideuce of an awaken ing of the spirit, that better support be given to our several newspapers. There is no class or profession that is so poorly recompensed for their labors in behalf of the public than the publisher, or who are the re cipients of as few well-doues for the service we render than the publishers of this city.-^-The Editor. ? For the first time in South Carolina, the Moss Brothers Ex travagauza will exhibit the grand reproduction of the champion ship contest between Battling Nelson and Jimmy Bntt for tha championship of the world.
