Democratic Convention, held in Columbia May 15 1018, parsed an amendment to the party rules, which.| provides f??r the formation of Municipal Democratic Clubs, as follow*: "TTpon the petition of fifteen per cent of the qualified voters as shown by the bonks of registration of any incorporated town or city 'in this state, being filed with the iSffcyor or Iutendant of said city or town there shall he organized a mnnh'ipnl democratic Club in such City or town." ? No such clnh in accorda-now with the party rules has been organised for City ejections. I find that there a*c 201 names on the Book' of Registration of the City. It i* therefore necessary that the petition to the Mayor he signed by thirt\ -one of these registered voters, as shown on the City" books. I am placing at each newspaper office in Camden, and at the office of the City Clerk a petition, as required, to the Mayor and I ask that .such of the quali fied voters of Camden, as are interested in the proper formation of a Democratic Municipal Club according to the rules of the party now in force, go to one of these"fj$ace? iuul s>k<i this petity6n. As soon as the necessary names are signed, the petition will be presented to the Mayor and announcement will be made at once through (he public prints ?>T the ealling of R meeting to organise j? Municipal Democratic Club of the City of Camden. Laurens T. Mills, County Chair. Dem. Party.

Some friends of the hospital ?eem to under stand it* value as an' economic faetor, remedying conditions that permit tftahy disabled ones to return to work. Still there are a lot of people wlio do not appreciate this and they should inform themselves and asnist the hospital. We arc in need all the time of <iishr eatables, linens, ete. The community has been so surfeited with "drives" that the man agement 1ms hesitated to start One for the hospital, but repairs are always need ed, as well as improvements. The build ing is kept Lmjhaculately clean, but that and a supply"of linen which wears with constant washing Is very expensive. The Woman's Auxiliary has come nobly to onr assistance and we owe them very much. The Hospital welcomes visitors who will be informed as to conditions Mid needs and the management weMbmea friendly criticiisn.
