Camden Chronicle. 18th.

Camden Chronicle, 18th.
AT the "Get Together" meeting OF
our chamhsr of commerce, which was
held hast Friday night, it became
known that secretary-treasurer Nc
Daniel had rendered his resignation to
the directors at their regular meeting
held on August End. Mr.. McDaniels
resignation came as great surprise,
but at the same time, he is receiving
CONGRATULATIONS upon securing an
other position that is more lucrative.
Mr.. Mcdaniel has made many friends
since he has been in Camden who will
regret to see him leave, but will wish
for him much success in his new con-
nection.
It was at this point that the presi-
dent informed those present that at
the last meeting of the directors they
had To- accept the resignation Of sec
retary-treasurer Mcdaniel. In COM
menting on the resignation, the pres
ident stated that the resignation was
accepted with reluctance and regret
in view of the fact that Mr. McDaniers
service was worthy of the highest
praise; stating that Mr.. McDaniefs
success before coming to Camden and
while here was the result of him re-
ceiving an offer that Camden was not
in position to pay.
The president introduced Mr.. Nc
Daniel who was the last speaker on
program and in the Introductory re-
marks. Mr.. Mcdaniel was asked to
give his views of Camden, both pres
ent and future.
Z Mr.; Mcdaniel briefly outlined the
fine spirit of cooperation he had re-
esived from the directors as well as
the members, stating that when ne
first reached Camden he found city
that really needed chamber OF COM
msrcs and that as result of the CO.
operation mentioned the citizens OF
Camden had been convinced Of the
great value of.an organization whose
only purpose is to work for the up
building Of the community. Mr.. Nc
Daniel further stated that Camden
needed a chamber of commerce worse
today than when he arrived, in view
of the fact that, the spirit of coopera-
tion must be kept alive, and that Cam
den must stay in line with all other
cities throughout the country in their
efforts in bringing business back to
normal. Mr.. Mcdaniel assured the
audience that his connection in Cam
den has been very pleasant so-far as
he is concerned and hoped that the
feeling would be mutual, for that it
would be a great pleasure to him to
besable to look back to his connection
here as that of a pleasant one. He fur
tier stated that he would feel much
better in leaving if he was assured the
organization was to be kept together,
for that he was not leaving the state,
and that when he could not locate an
iudustry in the city which he would
hs serving he would send it to Cam
den. The remark from Mr. Mcdaniel
bought forth hearty applause.
In conclusion Mr.. Mcdaniel appeal
ed eto everyone present to work to-
gsther as Camden and Kershaw coun-
ty offered many wonderful opportun-
ities, and that the only way to prop
sgly harness up these opportunities
was for every citizen to work togeth-
er, with but single thought in mind,

County" Particularly interesting
Mere the last remarks of the secre-
tary-treasurer when he read "Ten
Pests of a Town. which is list of
questions asked by people interested
I'D; locating IN city. truly tnls hst
offered much thought for members
of the organization and it is needless
to say that all of them will be bene-
flied by hearing them presented in
sach q forceful manner.

marks. Mr.. w. L. DePass rose and
made motion that a rising vote OF
