POLK HUDSON DEAD.

1t is with much pain and regret
that we announce the death of j
L. Hudson,a well-to-do citizen,
who resided 2 miles north of town
on the Liberty Road. Mr.. Hudson
was taken seriously i'll with pneu-
monia Tuesday night of last week,
and the end came Monday MORN
ing about ! o'clock.
At all times, under all circum-
stances the deceased walked in the
we'll beaten path of righteousness,
and when fully conscious that he
was nearing the last of earth, he
appeared tobe fully impressed with
the thought that at the end of time
eternity began, and that the sweet
faith which sustained him during
the temptations of life and during
those trying hours of suffering
would only grow brighter and
brighter as he iourneyed toward
the Infinite, and the final gloom of
death be dispelled by the radiance
of Gods love. Could all live the
just and upright life Polk Hudson
lived, and die in his bright, trust
ing faith, death could no longer be
called "The King of Terrors," for
he inspired no terror there. The
dying man and sorrowing family
looked forward with the same eye
of faith to the brighter future
where this temporary separation
would end in an eternal reunion.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Arco Robinson Tuesday
and the interment took place at
l o'clock at Liberty Cemetery,
where large number of relatives
and friends gathered to pay last
tribute to the memory of a friend
and neighbor.

A Statement Wanted.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Referring to the article in your
last issue signed "Citizen," in
which the recent action of few
citizens meeting and endorsing the
present Municipal Board for re-
election is commented on, calls to
mind the fact that while the Board
says there is more money in the
city treasury than ever before, or
words to that effect, still the tax
payers would like to have some-
thing more than q general state
ment.
The people pay the taxes. They
are entitled to know where every
cent Of that money goes. Why not
the City Recorder make an item
lied statement of the city's finan-
cial condition. and in that state
ment show for what purpose this
money has been expended?
In other words, tell us how much
money is collected, and then show
by o detailed statement where
every dollar has been expended
and how much actual cash on hand,
and last, but not least, show how
much Indebtedness is outstanding
and unpaid.
The writer believes that the Re-
corder would take pleasure in rem
dering this favor to the tax payers
of Camden, and then we would all
know just where we are at fnan-
cially. If the Recorder will do
this, there can be no room for
criticism ane it is only his duty to
do so. Will he do it?

DEATH OF TOLLIE GOOCH.

Last Sunday night at 8 o'clock
the Lord called away from us one
of our best and sweetest girls III
the Benton Seminary Miss Iol-
lie Gooch's home was at Yuma
Tenn. She came to Camden and
entered school one week before
she died. She was member OF
the Baptist Church at New Hope,
near her home, and no one who
ever knew her could doubt her
Christianity
She died at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs, G. O. Hubbs, where she was
tenderly cared for. They did ev-
.erything possible to stay the hand
of death. Be it also resolved, that
we as teachers of Camden school
and pupils have lost a dear friend,
but our loss is Heavens gain.
May we all live as she lived for
our Lord, and when the Lord calls
us home we can say, | am ready to
go. Her schoolmates are grieving
with her grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. L. Gooch. Oh, may they
in their sad hours look to Jesus
and say, thy will be done, and give
us sustaining grace. God bless
the dear old grandmother and the
grandfather, also her father and
all Of her friends, who are many.
Monday morning was called to
make talk at the good home Of
Mr. and Mrs. Hubbs where she
died. The people came from al
most all over the town, and all the
teachers, G. U. Moore, principal,
B. d. johnson, W. A. Woods, Mrs.
w. A. Woods, Miss Ola Mcdaniel
and Miss Alice Lee .Denslow, and
many of the pupils were present al
the 8 o'clock service. s
God bless all these dear people
of Camden. May we ever be founcS
faithful and doing what he haf
called us to do. Here we part with
friends, but some day we will meet
'tis over in the glory land, ther'
we'll walk and talk on the golt
paved streets, over in the glorS
land.
From your brother in Christ,

Platinum Known to Egyptians

TT is within the bounds Of probability that
1 some bcspcctacled German Egyptologist
will soon discover that radium was known to
the ancicnts, inasmuch as many Of the dis
.covcries in this line during recent years are
claimed to have been but Implications OF
earlier investigations and results.
For many years it was supposed that
platinum had first been found in the early
half Of the sixteenth century, when gold ore
from the Spanish mines in Darien was
found to include particles of a white metal
possessing properties Of what the alchemiStS5
termed the noble" metals, which could
not be identified. The expectation OF this
new metal was prohibited by law. and not
until 1850 did it become generally known
and made the subject Of investigation.
1t was not long ago that German savant,
when in Egypt. was examining the contents
Of a tomb ascribed to an Egyptian Queen OF
the seventh century before Christ Among
articles of use and adonment he came
across a plate which at first he took to be
silver: but on closer investigation this
turned out to be platinum, probably from
alluvial deposits washed down from the
Upper Nile in times of flood. Since then
other discoveries have led to the conclusion
that the metal was known to the Egyptians
and esteemed for its useful properties.
