On last Saturday evening from
8;30 to 11, Maator Caleb VVhltakor
waa the gallant and gonial little
boat to qulto a number of Ilia lit
tle friends. Tho jiffair, which was
one of the prettiest lawn parties of
tho season, was given at the Hur
nett homo on tho corner of Falf
and Laurens. The house and the
grounds wero gay and bright, with
Chinese lanterna, and the * happy
young voices wore wafted on the
breezes, and echood through the
soft summer night. Master Caleb's
guests were Mlssea Ellon Hoykin,
Nan _DeLoache, Retta DeLoache,
Ellse, and Mary Withers Kirkland,
Nancy Lindsay, Henrietta and Ida
Hoykin, Kathorlne and Elizabeth
Wallace, Eulalle Yatea, Margaret

of punch, cream, and cake"-were
much enjoyed, and at 11 or 11:30
they wended their way home ward
indebted to Master Caleb for a very
pleasant, evening.
A Happy Occanion.
On last WedneBday afternoon, the
ladles of the Court House Mission,
with the assistance of frlenda, gave
a very pleasant Ice cream festival
to the pupila of thla Interesting
Sunday school. The occasion was
a particularly happy one, not only
to children, but to the ladies" as
well, for there is no pleasure so
great as that of giving pleasure to
others. "To pour love's wine, and
bid the world take part anoundthe
purple altar of the heart." Those
ladles, of whom Miss Charlotte
Kershaw is a leader, consider no
sacrifice too great to make for
this mission?they give their time,
their energios, their talents, in fact
lhey give themselves, and In giving
they grow. They evidently believe
in the beautiful being triumphant.
"Give him another chance and see
how beautiful his life will be,"
seoms to be the motto of this noble
little band.

Formal Opening of The Huddle and

Nothing in the realnib of Cam

ciated and enjoyed this season
than the reception oil last Saturday
afternoon at the "Saddle and Pad
dle Club House," on the beautiful
and picturesque lake of which Cam
den is so Justly proud. The man
agement deserves great credit for
giving to Camden society this
dainty little club house with all Its
appolntnieutB so complete.

first floor, while the club room
above, finished in old Dutch style,
HAPPY IS the woman who is never unprepar
ed?who can always lay a nice appetising
meal or light luncheon before any guest?un
expected or not. Her friends praise her for
her housewifely qualities and she feels that delightful
satisfacton which can only come from hospitality per
fectly done. , _ ,
The secret lies in having a well cho
sen selection of canned goods and table dainties
always at hand. Look over our stock?the best of the
kind in the town?and make a selection today. Then
put your fear in the cupboard for you will be prepared
for any company?come when it may. V

An UmuiiJ, a Camden Girl is u
Winner.
The Camden girls and boys have
a delightful way of distinguishing
themselves at home, and also when
they seek "fresh fields and pas
tures new." It seems to be an in
herent commodity ? they have
breathed it with the air, and toss
them as you will, they land on their
feet every time.
Little Miss Nan McDowall, the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.. Doug
las McDowall, formerly of our city,
and herself remembered as a win
some and piquant little maid, was
the fortunate winner of the slogan
at Charlestown, W. Va., July 4th.
The prize was fifty dollars in gold,
and the slogan selected by Miss
Nan was "C-o-a-1 O-i-1 Q-a-s," and
this, tha committee decided to be
the most appropriate emblem to
typify the great resources of this
city.
The Charlestown Gazette says:
"When the winner was announced,
and the slogan road, the great
crowd cheered the little Miss to an
echo."
And the cheers are re-ecliood by
Nan's Camden friends.

' 1 111** anO when we said I ho rottoj)
crop was unusually good consider
int4 the drought, we did not moan
to Unreasonably blow the crop up
in the gr?at detriment of tlio farm
ers. Now that tin- crop is estiihat
<'d at over fourteen million bales,
:uid South Carolina estimated above
t ho ten year average, we fall to
see upon what basis they :tiv malt
lug their calculations. li must be
the few little pet farms In tin*
country. Wo have had occasion to
see <1 considerable portion of the
country recently. We see more
broken stands, more fields where
; ilie coUou has not come up at all,
I more young cotton that is too Into
'to mature and more damage done
| by lice than we have ever noticed
before, and it appears that these
! deficiencies in the crop exist in n!
j most every section. Wo admit that
| iu some sections of the state we
j have some unusually fine cotton,
hut not sufficiently so to blow the
crop out of the farmers hands at
a sacrifice, and we hope that the re
j porters will consider the effect the
! report of over a fourteen million
I halo crop might have on the market
jti-t? coming >ear.
We have had fine seasons recent
! ly and under the circumstances tho
crop is doing very well, but ten

cotton did not warrant but little.

In nearly every case this can be prevented by the use of
