The Affair was planned by the chairman of the Official Board, and was me' with unanimous approval by all. I' was held at the American Legior Hall, and no les^ than one hundred attended, notwithstanding the down pour of rain, and other events ii town that had been prearranged. The choir from the church, direct ed by Mr. T. V. Walsh and M is. Loip , Gandy entertained the crowd with some rousing inspirational songs. Miss Dotty Zemp rendered a piano solo with the touch of an artist, and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Zemp sang some beautiful duets. Mr. W. R. Zemp made an appropriate address of wel ? come to the now pastor and his wife, and was responded to by Dr. Wim berly. Delightful refreshments were served, and it was voted a most hap py occasion. The following pastors of the city k called and extended a welcome to the P new minister: Rev. J. B. Caston, of the Baptist church; B?ev. A. D. Mc-i Am, of the Presbyterian church, and Rev. and Mrs. Craighill, rector of the Episcopal church, and* Rev. Mr. Lit v tlejohn, of the Wateree Baptist church.

McAm, of the Presbyterian r church, represented his people in the ? same wholesome, fratema* spirit. It Was a two-fold welcome, a* Rev. Frances Craighill, the new rector of the Episcopal church, had assumed charge very recently. All the "minis* ters took part in the preliminaries, and J)r.

" REQUEST The management of the Camden Football Team, in order to get tht Lower State Championship game played here, were forced to give $200.00 to secure the game al Camden. They are without funds to meet this amount, except through the gate receipts, which will be inadequate as the expense of the game plus the $206.00 guar anteed to Beaufort will amount tc about $250.00. We, therefore, urge and request every citizen of Cam den and every football fan to con tribute liberally. The subscription list has been opened at DePass' Drug Store. The game has been called at 12 o'clock sharp, Thanksgiving Day, Zemp Field, and promises to be o fint exhibition.

No. 1, Ker shaw, sent to The State yosterday j nine pounds of turnips. But there was but one turnip; of perfect shap-j and with skin as smooth as any baby turnip could have. The messenger was one of Mi. Gaskin's sons. He said his father had many moro turnips of that cali ber in his "patch." But of much greater interest thai, the facts about his turnips are the facts about Mr. Gaskin. He will be 80 years old on his next birthday, lie plants cotton but has nevor "had to sell" his cotton at any particular lime nor has he had to borrow from any I land bank. Much more than that, Mr. Gaskin is the father of ten children and sent nine oif them to college. Furthermore, but perhaps this should have been placed first on the list, Mr. Gaskin tells The State he is a "believer in diversification." He is a believer in something else, too, and this is another important thing ? in work. For this master farmer, strong in his independence, Rends word to The State that his farming has been ddne "without any hired help."?- The State.

MODERIf^ ANNING ME thodsjB WM&CAH4 NI The firtrtr of a series of demonstrat ions in meat canning was given last Thursday at the home of Mrs. Paul Brown, a member of the Mt. Zion Home Demonstration Club. Miss Sadie B. Craig, the home agent, su pervised the canning and everyone present learned just how surplus and unprofitable farm anjfnals may be turned into wholesome, economical and delicious food for the family. Many of us can think back to the time when farmers and their families took it for granted that they must eat cured meat the year round except just at slaughtering^ time when ev erybody ate too much fresh meat. We can also recall when the weather was not as cold as we expected it to be and so lost much of the meat through spoilage. Today we know that we can have the equipment of fresh meat all the year because we know how to can our surplus meat just as we do our surplus fruits and vegetables. Besides the fact that fresh meat is varied and pleasant it is more eco nomical to cull the flocks and slau ghter surplus animals than to feed them throughout the winter. There are 3 ways in which meat may be caned ? raw, browned and roasted. There is no difference in the keeping quality of raw meat and cooked. Raw meat requires less time for preparing but longer for the processing. Having plenty of canned foods on the pantry shelves makes all the dif ference between an abundant table and a skimpy one, between a well balanced and health-giving diet and one that is alarmingly deficient. During last week Miss Craig had the following meetings: Watoree Mill 4-H club, Pine Grove 4-H club, Blaney H. D. C., Mt. Pisgah 4-H club, Mt Pisgah H. D. C., DeKalb 4-H club, Gates Pord H. D. C.

M. from Columbia and were met by a delegation of citizens representing the City, County, Chamber of Com- 1 merce, Rotary Club, Shrine Club and tourist colony.
