' Part-time Meeting (Written for The Messenger) A new type of meeting was held at Camden last Friday when about 30 part-time boys gathered for a meet ing in the Camden High School audi torium. A part-time boy is a boy who has dropped cut of school for some reason, is farming, and is be jtwesr ".4 and 21 years of age. j Boys from the id ol communities of Ant.ioch, Bethune, Blaney, Camden, and Midway were present. These part-time boys have been given in struction by their agricultuarl teach ers during the past year and the pur pose of this meeting was to have an instructive program along other line* than agriculture. 'A very interesting program waf carr.ed out. Mr. Lawrence T. Mills addressed the boys on "County Gov ernment". He went back to the day? when there was little or no county government and outlined the changes that have taken place and given u? our present form of county govern ment. The county is the unit through which the state and national govern ment operate ard it has no power or 1 authority within itself", said Mr. Mills. Next Mr. C. W. Birchmore, editor of the "Wateree Messenger" talked on "Making a Success". He brought out numerous points necessary in making life a success.

He stressed the importance of being trained to ;lo a job. "Training f;r fanning is ne cessary and the time will probably come when a man will have a certi ficate showing his fitness for farm ing before he will be allowed to farm" said Mr. Pterson. Music was. rendered during 'h pro -rnm by Mi;?es Ga'.ce Robinson, Ol'V a Budd.n ard Ellen Stewart.

CARD <*K THANKS I wish to sincerely thank the voters of the County for the support given me in th? jirimary election- -and all the citizens of the county for th? splendid courtesies extended me throughout the camn&ign. I ^ , N. O. AUNfKTT. I v.. LIBERTY HILL I Mr. Editor ? There seems to be a dearth of news in our section of the "mo^bl vineyard" just now. I Cotton continues to open rapidly and the gin of Messrs. Mackey, Jones & Company is crowded every gin day, but the rush will not last long for there, is not much top crop, so the greater part will be harvested early. The primary election is over and moralizing over the results are use less. The contests in the run off ? lection ? both county and state ? were so close that the changing of a few votes woud have altered the results. There is hardly anything so fickle as the will of the people as expressed by a primary election. Principles and men that are on the wave of popular favor toady may be confronted by a changed sentiment at another time. We hope that our people will give to those who were elected the measure of cooperation and support to which they are entitled for a fair and honest discharge of the duties of their re spective offices, and to those who were defeated ''we" have kindly fel low feelings ? "we know" ? of sympa thetic admiration, for, having follow ed the campaign we believe each one was imbued with the desire to faith fully discharge the duties they desired to have placed on them by the votes of the electors.
