ington's visit to Canvden, including ex
tracts from Washington's own dic-ry,
and the toasts that were given in that

furnishing formed an appropriate sot
ting for dre-ams of that far-away time
when our ancestors made merry. The,,

Attention City Democratic Voter*.
The Stfitt? 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.

corner DeKalb and Ivyttleton Street 44-5
and right here our gratitude to the Bank
of "Catnden must be ?ckn<wvledged. 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.
This report should not be <3ose*T with
out mentioning the thanks of the JTiedi
cal Staff to Dr. Julius H. Taylor of
Columbia who seems to be always ready
to help in difficult surgical cases irre
spective of whether there is a fee for him
or not.

this by selling every boys article
