That Magulflceut tiifl.
I Our people are much elat ?d over
the (onerous gift of Mr. Bernard
M. lJaruch to his native town. Our
heart* are filled with gratitude aud
teeming with bright aud happy
memories of Dr. Baruch aud his
beautiful wife4 the pareuts of the
young man who has made this gen
erous donation. Ouly a few weekii
ago, Mr*. A. C. Ancrum wrote an
appeal to the doctor himself to use
his Influence In our behalf. There
Is a charming uaturaluess in Mrs.
Auorum's writing that portrays ear
nestness aud feeling, aud no doubt
she brought before the doctor, the
Camden of other days ? .the little
town down South,' wnere his boys
were born, the scenes of his early
struggles, and the friends of his
earlier years. Aud with these mem
ories came the desire to help the
people he had labored among in
those bygone days, the people who
had loved and houored him, aud so
he gave for himself and wjfe ai
handsome donation and favored his]
son building the hospital.

I'kasunL Hvcning at CMurt Inn.
On last Friday evening several
of the guests at the Court Inn de
cided to have a little entertainment
and give the proceeds to the Hos
pital Fund. An audience represent
ing wealth, culture and refinement
assembled In the beautiful parlors
of this elegant tourist hotel, and
were delightfully entertained by Mr. i
John Caswell, showing beautiful ste-j
riopticon view1*} of a trip through
Africa. Mr. Caswell had an exten
sive hunting trip through the Dark
Continent and went over* about the
same ground as Mr. Roosevelt. The
views were extremely interesting,
and the descriptions entertaining.
A basket was placed on a table
at the door Into which each guest
deposited a free-will offering ? the
neat sum of $100.
One hundred dollars was the re
sult of the collection. The thanks
of the community are due Mr. Tick
nor and his guests ' for thiB hand
some donation.

The Theatre.
Manager Qoodale has excelled
himself this season In providing
good entertainments for the public,
and the said public certainly owe .
him a vote of thanks. "The Wolfe, *|
a beautiful play of the Canadian
Northwest, which was presented at
the opera house on the 22nd, was
a gem In every particular. The
scenery was beautiful ? the Cana
dian woods during Indian Sqmmer;
the modest home on the banks of
the Wind river, appealed to the lov
ers of Nature. The acting Was
fine. One could not refrain from
admiring the noble character of
Jules Beaublen and the beauty of
Hilda, her child-like simplicity, and
purity of soul, while they shed a
tear over her hardships and sorrowp*]
While the ha*d hearted and cruel
father oxclted the .Indignation of
the audience. William McDonald,
as "The Wolfe," won all the con
tempt that was coming to him and
acted the part to perfection.
George Hunttey was fine and he ,
brought enough humor into the play|
to balance the sentiment, sorrow
and tragedy. "The Wolfe" was
good and deserves a good house in
every town that is fortunate to se
cure it.
Mrs. Henry Savage to be Hostess.

Kis not always the most expensive

to consider about tea is its suitability for brewing in the
water o? a particular district. Tea that would be good
here, and brew into a splendid fragrant beverage, might

We buy our teas to suit the water of this

"To the Educators and Pupils of i
the Schools of South Carolina:
"The Arlington Monument Com- 1
mlttee for the fourth time, on the
anniversary of Gen. Robt. E. Lee's
birthday, invites you to assist in
the erection, at Arlington, Va.f of
a grand monument to the Confeder
acy. The Committee wishes to as
sure all who have already given to
this cause, that their freewill offer
ings have developed Into a fund
that Is both valuable and Inspiring.
"The monument is in the hands
of Sir Moses Eizekiel, a Virginian
by birth and education, and an Ex
Confederate soldier. As one of the
Cadets of the Virginia Military In
stitute, he joined the Confederate
forces and was twice wounded, win
ning great distinction for gallantry
at the battle of New Marked. Sir
Moses Ezekiel is a sculptor of re
nown, and has been knighted for
his artistic achievement by the Em
poror pf Germany and by the King
of Italy. So anxious is Sir Moses of
making this monument the crowtnlng
work of his life, that he is putting
the entire compensation for time
and toil Into materials for the de
velopment of his great masterpiece,
thus giving as a freewill offering
to his Southland years of artistic
Bklll of brain and hand.
"A little over half of the stipu
lated amount has been raised; and
we are striving earnestly to raise
the other twenty-five thousand by .
the time the monument Is completed!
in November 1913.
"The committee Is not only inter
ested in raising money for the mon
ument, but especially anxious are ,
they that the rising generation may|
be imbued with sentiments of pa
triotism. We therefore ask each
pupil to commit to memory the
verse quoted below. It is taken
from a poem addressed to General
Robert E. L#b by a young English
" 'Ah, realm of tombs! but l*t her
bear % <, ? ' }
This blaxon to the last of times;
No nation rose so white and fair,
<V fell so pure of crimes.' "
