We had the pleasure of meeting a
lady from New Y<frk this week who
was stopping at the llohklrk Inn and
who said that she had travelled quite
extensively Mils winter throughout
.{he South, hut nowhere had -slm been
m> pleased as in Camden. The genial
climate and transparent, at iuosj>b?re
delighted here, and that It is Indeed
u town to he proud of and to admire.
A realm of nature's choicest beauty
and clia rn?, a, ?llm3.J?hlrh to t^rv InJ
is to love. "Life", she said "Is broad,
ample, generous, and tlne-splHtod."
And s1h? had never seen more gener
ous and open-handed hospitality Where
strangers were welcomed with the ut
most warmth.

lations Tuesday on the beginirilng of
his thirtieth year. The nlstv?rte town of
. Fun ta inch) can, Franco, was Charlie's
hirtliiphlce. Mis parents wore English
players and tlie son followed their
profession a? soon as he was, old
enough to appear on the stage. In
early youth he toured a large part of
the world, doing a "turn" as ail ec
centric dancer, acrobat, and juggler
and occasionally performing as a cir
cus clown. It was not, however, un
til lie appeared in motion .pictures
that he found his real forte as an
entertainer. In his own peculiar style
of fun -making he is without a poor,
and his inimitable antics before the
screen are as jAiqnilar with motion
picture patrons in Japan and China as
they are with those of tlie United
states and (treat Britain.
