Four hundred nnd tifty women and k>>'1s were present front June tith to 15th, representing every cuunty in the State. Kershaw (ouut.v whs duly represented by ten delegates and the county agent. Thanks might hero be accorded to the twenty-nine gentlcmeu of the city of Camden who each contributed to pay the railroad tare and incidental uxpcuKC* of the live little club girls whu attended this course. At the same time it might be a?hled that the county should assume the responsibility of this small expense for another year aad save the county agcut the humiliation of solicit ing the paltry suitf ol\$l from Individual* when the cause Is such a large one. The .following are the one* who atteuded t hits ten day course iu home economics : Mrs.. Eugene Hrown, Camdeu Mn. J. It. Phillips, Camden i. Mrs. J. At McCuskill, Kershaw Mrs. C. <>. Stogner, Hethuuc Mlsa Willie' Jeffcw, Blaucy Miss Josephine Cureton, Camden .Miss Sybil Adams, Hermitage Mill Miss Uutli Phillips, Camden Miss Cynthia Tearii,~Lu%off Miss Connie Estrldge, Bethune ? Miss Selma Pitrrish, Agent. CauYdeu _ Immediately following the State Short Course was the County Short Course held at the Cauiden High School for three daya ? ? Juno 1D-20-21, The weakest point about the cour.se was tbe attendance, which was probably due to a number of reasons? a lack of realization of the beu etit to be derived from such a Course ; the busy season of the year at which the course was held ; the need for every work ing member of the family to remain at home and work. Nevertheless, consider- 1 ing the fact that the girls have only been organised since February aud some even jhitor than that, the number present was About as large as could be expected under th$ 'circumstances. First day there were twenty-five, second day, thirty-two, third day, fifty, including women and girls. j The succor of the programs each day was iu large measure due to the excellent speakers selected for the occasion and great appreciation is felt for their inval uable assistance. The housekeepers of Camden who opened their homes to the little dub girls contributed most mater ially toward making it a successful three days, likewise should thanks be accord ed the assisting agents, Miss Garrison, of York county,- Miss Mims of Chesterfield couuty and Miss Forney, State cottage Chgedd" foment, who coudubteft the* lessons and frave the demonstrations. This opportunity, to give suggestions to the county can not be allowed to pass un noticed. If tbe couuty were one individ ual it would not be so hard to approach it and reason with it. But the county Is the people,1 aud the only way to reach the people is through the county papers. If the people don't take the papers then they will just have to remaiu behind the times. The matter to be brought before the people is the same old subject of money> I>o' the people realize that a short course cannot be held without some expense? Whose pocket book would suf fer motft froiq the expenditure of $25? the pocket book of an individual or the pocket book of the county? The county agent admits that she has enough pa triotism to bear the expense of the short course, to regard it as part of Iter work, but shall the county have less patriotism than an individual? Another th^ng. you failed or your rep resentatives failed to make an appropria tion t? carry on the Home Demonstra tion Work in Kershaw County for the year l^lH. Fortunately the United States t.ovefifment saw fit to continue the work for you a few months longer. But what do you intend to do another year? Will K&rshaw County be one out of forfy iive counties not to have this work going on? Some counties have two ugeuts in the Home Demonstration work, some have appropriated as much as $1,500 for the your, and in some counties where there arc several large mill villages there arc numbers of agrnts employed. You may contend thatTfershaw County is a poor county. The argument is granted but it will continue to be a poor county un less it wukes up #from its state of leth argy 'and assumes some of the responsibil ities of progress and development.

Stuart Blackton's latest production for Paramount which will be shown at the Majestic Theatre next Tuesday, July 9. shown how a young soldier has to b-uve Nell, his hride of a week for the front. As the moments of their last hour before his leavctiiking pass, they watch tile ch>ck, and even turn it hack to steal a few precious moments. The picture was made from Mrs. Humphrey Ward's fa;, ilious novel and the scenes are laid in England. By singing a simple little love song, "Bonnie Sweet Bessie," Xell wins back the memory of her soldier husband, and so saves his life. The soldier is wound ed and all efforts to rcsto're his memory have faflod until the young wife comes , to i the rescue. The noubds of "Bonnie Sweet Bessie, which was a favorite song of the soldier and his hride before their marriage, restores the soldier's memory.
