THERE is no danger so great for
a man or a boy as idleness. If the
mothers and fathers would save
their boys, they should give them
something to do. Buy an ak and
a saw, and let them chop up the
wood, no matter how large the
bank account. Let them keep the
weeds from the yard and garden,
the dirt from their own clothes,
and the dust from their own shoes.
Don't do everything for them. 1t
pays to teach the boys to work
not so much as what they can do
as for what it does for them. The
same .rule applies to girls. Give
your children employment.

A glance at the list Of the great
men of the big cities Of the United
States proves beyond the question
of doubt that the country bred
boy is far superior to his city born
cousin in point Of business and
professional ability and general
capacity. Many reasons are adj
vanced for the success of the coun-
try boy in the large cities, but one
that seems to hit the nail on the
head is that the youngster reared
in the country is taught to work,
and by this is meant a good honest

He is a sticker, too, who is willing
to start at the bottom, and when
you find a country boy who is a
worker and a sticker he is invinci-

WE have been frequently asked
why it was that the people in the
country took such an active part
in the recent fight against the sa-
looms of Camden. They looked at
the matter from a moral stand
point. The fact is, the country
people suffer more from the sale
of whisky than do the town people,
because we have some protection
and they do not. Drunken men
BLACKBOARD, curse and shoot right
in front of their homes and in the
presence of their families when re-
turning from town, while often
their church and Sunday school
services are disturbed by men in
toxicated with whisky bought in
town, and as for night entertain
ments they have ceased altogether
in many localities because of the
disturbances of drunken men.

The incorporation of Camden
has been of great value to its citi-
zens if for no other reason than
the fact that the children of the
town have been furnished with
fine free school advantages. The
school can be maintained on the
same high standard of excellence
under the new charter and the tax
payers Will not be compelled to
pay one cent more that they have
paid under the present charter.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1903-05-01

The recent discussion of the cor
porationquestion broughtoutsome
assertions in regard to our school
that has aroused keen interest.
For weeks previous to the recent
charter election the town was
stirred by this important question,
and some good citizens were led to
believe that if we voted out the sa-
looms it would kill the school.
Viewing our municipal and educa-
tional problems and conditions in
the light Of recent experience, we
fail to see why a tax Of 81 90 under
the new charter will not provide as
much revenue for school purposes
as a tax of $l.00 under the present
charter. Our streets are in good
condition and will be for several
years to come, hence there will be
no great need for as much expend-
iture for street improvements as
we have made in the past few years.
A municipal ticket composed of
men who are in favor of a good
school and municipal government
will be placed before the citizens
of the town, and it remains to be
seen just who it is that are willing
to kill the school and municipal
government.
Really, we believe that the illu-
sions coupled with the passing Of
Camden's saloons have been dis.

have given the matter their un.

Des Moines, Dec. 16-The very life
OF all jobbiEg houses in the interior of
Iowa is menaced by petition filed
with the Iowa Railroad commission
yesterday by the Jobbers association
of keokuk. 1t is proposed to remove
the existing equality in local freight
rates and the advantage of location,
which no practically remove the
handicap under which interior jobbers
operate, and give the river jobbers
an opportunity to sell at points 800
miles distant under advantages so far
as freight rates are concerned, that
are equal to those of dealers in cities
much farther west.
Des Moines jobbers who We're seen
today We're greatly aroused and pro-
pose to make desperate fight against
the change of rates.
Under existing freight rates cities
located along the Mississippi river are
entitled to freight rates the same
as If located on the east bank in IL
linois. But with the Mississippi as
the basic line, freight rates are jump
ed up to figure that imposes a heavy
handicap against the jobbing houses
in the interior towns. Jobbers in Ce-
dar Rapids, Waterloo, ,Ottumwa, oska-
| looSa, MarShalltoWn, Fort Dodge, and
| Des Moines have been able to thrive
through their trade in the western Sec
tion of the state, but have been COM
PEELED to leave the field within a ra-
dius of 100 miles of the Mississippi to
the jobbers whose places of business
happen to be in the river cities.
The same rate is charged interior
| jobbers to the Mississippi as is charg-
ed the dealers along the river. To
this is added a local rate which is
relatively much higher, which must
| be paid to the city in which the firm
is located. This firm again has to
pay a local rate of equal size or
each shipment from the Cit in which
it is located to the town of the
| retail dealer within it's territory
At recent meeting of interior job
bers held in this city it was stated

on the part of the river jobbers to in
