Convention to The Charleston Chapter. At the aonual meeting of the Charleston Chapter D. C., lire, Smyth's report of the Camden Con vention was so pleasant a one, that it was moved and seconded ttiat the Secretary be asked to forward a eopy of this report to the John D. Kennedy Chapter. "Having had the honor of aoting as ch airman of your delegation, It is my duty and .pleasure to report to you . the.reauit of our mission. The Convention lately held in Camden was one of the most suc cessful in our experience. Manyu Chapters were represented, very few by proxies, but generally by dele gates, and delegates of intelligence who were alert and active in the work, showing great interest and appreciation of all its branches. The number of Chapters in thjp State ie increasing with great rapidity, seven being added to the list in the last year ? if I have not been misinformed. This is in a great measure attributable to the good work of the officers who have now retired, leaving their places occupiod by worthy euooesaore. Among these officers we have a special right to be very proud of Irhe, retiring President, our Chapter President, Mrs. James Connor, who rightly won the admiration of all by the manner In which she pre sided. Her Impartiality, justice, and ease sad indomitable good humor gave universal pleasure, and as It was impossible to re-eleot her as president, she was by acclama tion. made 1st Vice-President. . For President, the only trouble wss too much good material. It was hard ta ohooee bat the result, the elec tion of Mrs. Andrew Burnet of Cam den, could not fail to please any* Who had come under the Influence of her personal attraction. ... ?
