"Do Them selves Proud. *V The entertainment planned and perfected by Mrs. E, A. Brown and her co-workers on last Friday eve ning was a success In every partlcu* lar. TU# evening was dark, cold and rainy, the roads almost lmpassa. ble, but all of this did not prevent a crowd gathering at 4bo Ideal coun try home of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Brown, whither they had been bid den to enjoy a pleasant evening and at the same time make a contribu> tion to the Camden Hospital Fund. The gas-llghted rooms were beau tifully decorated in white and green. Smilax trailed gracefully over the snowy curtains, pictures and mantle. The candy booth in one corner, was quite attractive In white and green, Miss Martha McDowell presided and proved a good saleslady, as she bad the pleasure of "selling out." The fish pond was in charge, of M|ss Mary McDowell, assisted by some of the young ladles' of the neighbor hood, and && the close ot the ever-, ning it w<as found that ?? every fish had been caught The company had the pleasure **of listening to several beautiful vocal selections by Mrs. Paul Brown and piano solos by Mise Mildred Qoodale. And then came the supper! And such a supper! Not a luncheon, not a dinner with all its formalities, not dainty re freshments that we hear so much about, but an old-time southern sup per ? the kind that makes you think of the past, enjoy the present, and dream of the future. The supper we used to get on the old plantation in our grand-mother's day, no need to gite the bill of fare, we all re member them, and the Beulah ladle* served an old-time . supper ,0 and served it beautifully too. When the proceeds were counted, they realiz ed the handsome sum of one hun dred dollars.

The Hospital Auxiliary are plan ning to have a Tag Day during the horse show, Ju*t which day, we do not know. We want every man In Camden, and every one who Is com. tog to Camden to remember thlti and be prepared for the "selge," not by hiding behind a rugged bat tlement of coolness, Indifference and stinginess, for we assure them that the Camden , girls are fnvluclble With their bewitching smiles and bewildering grace they can "storm the Citadel," and capture not only the hearts, but the pockets. Small donations will be thankfully receiv ed, andPho one lk to be Importuned, for we do not think It necessary: We have too rtuch confidence In { the Army on the field, every out-| side post Is to b? well guarded. "For the Hospital" Is the password we want every loyal citizen of Ker shaw County, and every stranger within' our gates to pass the lines "tagged." - : - Death of Mr. M. J>. Champion. Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Champion have many friends In this city wher they lived for several years. They lived at "Lausanne," and the peo ple who were young twenty yeare ago, have happy recollections of the many sunny days and pleasant eve nings spent In this home with a genial host and ch&rmlng 'hostess.

Our sympathy goes out to the wife and son, who wore with him when the end came. ? ? ? ? ? e ? An April Marriage.

A bug e chief, dre??ed like a f ron tier dandy, and bearing a startling re semblance to Henry Ward Heecher, was one of tbe foremost Indiana of tbe great Nortbweat not many years ago. He kept tbe government guess lng, worried tbe aettlera and managed to win Important favora from both. Bome historians aay be was a worthy and noble man. Othera describe blm hh one of tbe clevereat, most consum mate hypocrites unhung. Ha waa one of the few Indiana who understood "grafting" aa thoroughly aa doea any ward pollt}clan and who waa by na tuie a money maker aa well as a war rior. Again, unlike moat of hla peo ple, be waa a humorist and a mimic. A Warlike Career. His Indian name waa Bulktash Aosha ("Half Sun"), but tbe white men nicknamed him "Moses," and the nickname atuck. He waa war chief of the Okl-no-Ka-Ne tribe (a branch of the Nee Peroea "nation") and waa later chosen chief of many other wan dering bands. In early years Moses led his bravea through a aerlea of bloody wars agalnat the Bloux and wou for himself local fame aa a fear* lsss soldier as well aa for almoat su perhuman cunning.- In 1858, when the wave of white emigration waa rolling rapidly weatward, Moses did bis best to beat back tbe tide of civ ilization. With his savage forces he met a detachment of troopb under Gen. George Wright In a fierce battle at the Yakima River. This was one of the deadliest combats ever waged between white men and savages. It was after the Yakima River bat tle that Moses's whole character seemed to change. Ho saw clearly that the Indians could make no head way against the government; that the old free warlike days were at an end. Some native chiefs continued t<Pwago hopeless campaigns against tho troops and soon or late were killed, driven far from their homes or caught. Other chiefs meekly consented to lead their tribes to one of the reservations and there to lose power and freedom as "wards of the government." Neither <>f these two courses ap pealed to Moses's taste. He set his | wily brain to work at finding some pleasanter means of solving the In dian problem. And aoon hla plans were made. He declared himself the friend of the local Indian agent and asked only to be allowed to settle down with his people to a quiet life of hunting and farming. He let It be known that be and his tribes were njore than ready to meet Uncle Bam half way on any reasonable proposi tion. file sense of humor and hla powers aa a comlo actor helped to do away with auaplclons that such a brain harbored plots of a serious na ture.:/* < It was hard to treat a man of this sort. In the stern fashion accorded to "hostile*." Yet the government did not ?are to hare tbe chief and his gr6%t following at large as a possible menace to settlers. So he was told to D&ove with his people to the Ya kima Reservation. Moses answered that he would be rery glad Indeed to go on a reservation, but that the one selected for him waa already full of savage Indians who would not treat him well. So he begged to be allowed to settle upon a Columbia River tract that was of no use to white men but would make a fine home for his fol lowers. There, he said, he and the braves would raise vegetables, grain, etc., and be model farmers. This rural picture so delighted the government that his request was at last actually granted. Instead of be ing pacfied off to some already crowd ed reservation he was allowed to set tle on the rich tract of (Columbia Riv er land. There he promptly made a more comfortable living by renting out the prairie pasture* <on which he had told the authorise* be wanted to raise crops) a* grazing ground to cat tlemen* By this means alone he year ly pocketed a rich sum. And there were other means of the same sort whereby he was able to make goodly quantities of money.. Thus he spent hla declining days, honored and trust ed by the government A Clever Escape. But before he succeeded In bending Uncle 8am bo skillfully to his wishes, there were one or two times when Moses needed all his ready wit to say* his life. For Instance, when Chief Joseph of the Nes-Perces began his terrible war against the government, Moses (perhaps foreseeing the result of the conflict) loudly refused to let his people Join their relatives, the Ne*-Peroes. Tet rumors soon arose that be and braves of bis. were wag ing secret war on f white settlers. Moses 'indignantly dehled this, and succeeded in convincing the agents that he was innocent. Then an entire white family named Perkins on the Columbia River were murdered and their bouse and barns burned. "Friend ly" Indians accused Moses and bis nan* aytn Moses denied the charge and even ottered to help fln4 the slay, era. But publie opinion was tor onoe too t+wwg foe Mw- He was arrested, pot tit trona and Imprisoned at Y* kima City. Geo. Howard, Agent Wit tin Moses, wars hastily summoned and tad the Sid- chief set free. Then, bar a flnsd dfplomaUc stroke, be secured vtstoTttl retired to t Mi of ease and profit. _ (OwHfhi) ? - ' , ? ? f "? ** ? -* ? . Baruch-Nettles Co. ' * ?' ' ft ..--l -Mr-**.* .,/jl : , / ? *?'
