MemrUI KxercUe* CrM Off. < It la a matter of much regre* to the Joliu l>. Keuuedy chapter, U. U. OL, that Memorial exerclaea were catted off at the last moment, and perhaps the 4>reai<teat of the chapter <Hd not aal wisely In doing vo. BUt at 4:48 H was #UH raining and when the speaker for the occasion phoned tier ahe did uot think It right to ask him to stand in the rain and deliver an addretw, though he was perfectly wilHug to abide by her decision. Nor, did she thiuk it fair to ask him to give a carefully itoe pa fed address to hu extremely sihail uudieuce, which she felt sure he would have, with threatening clouds and con Untied showers. No loug distance men suge came to hear the good news that the clouds would break and the sua give a glimpse of hi* spilling 'ace be fore sinking behind the western clouds, ami so acting upon her bent judgement she called it off, ami so must answer for any disappointment or inconveni ence caused by doing so, All tilings seemed propitious for;an unusually attractive Memorial pro gramme. Arrangements had been made to have uiusic on the stand, the singing of old Southern songs by a choir, and tlhe school children taking part, ' vvjilch Is always an interesting feature. Mr. W, II. IltHiges of the Methodist church had prepared an ex cellent address, but we hope the hear ing of this. Is only a postponed plea sure as Mr. Hodges lias promised to give It souie time in the future, per haps be foro next Memorial Day. Tho cemetery was clean, fresh and beautiful* abloom with many flowers, and each heroe's grave adorned with a laurel wreath and flag. A faithful committee from the U. I). 0. chapter had Completed t his tala?r of .love before the rain came, and another committee had decorated the Confederate monu ment, beautifully and artistically. So we feel that Memorial Day was not a failure after all, it' we did not have to war with the elements and retire vanquished, for a ?ood bit of the work had been put in before hand. Our re membrance. flowers and laurels were given ? "To our dead heroes- to the hearts , That thrill no more to love or glory. To those who acted well their part, Who died In youth and live in glory With tears forever be it told, Until oblivion covers all; Until the heavens themselves wear old And totter slowly to their fall." Camp Jackson Was Winner. A team from Camp. Jackson Tuesday afternoon defeated the newly organiz ed Camden team by a score of 16 to 1. Foor team work and poor pitching was the cause of the heavy score against Camden. The -team from Camp Jack son -was the best of the 'army and had the reputation of not having lost a game this season. Camden has some good material, but the lack of prac tice was very evident. Several more new players are expected soon to Join the home team and better ball may be expected in the future. Meeting of Civic League. An interesting meeting of the Civic League was held at tho Library Mon day-afternoon, the president, Mrs. Muiler presiding, and the secretary, Mlsd Settles, discharging the duties of that office. The League was glad (.q welcome three new members, Mrs. David Wolfe Mrs. If. C. Singleton, Miss Lula Whlta ker.

Mrs. William Shannon gave a favor able report from Kershaw park, and the improved condition of the fountain in that park. Mrs. M. Barucli as chairman report ed Hampton park in fine condition, and this beautlfuf park of tall waving pines is indeed a joy and pleasure to j the people of Camden. Mrs. Iilakeuey from the Hospital committee said that the people had responded most generously, in promis ing the use of their cars, in taking out convalescent patients, and it is hoped Quit in the future thi? will become a custom. The president appointed a Depot committee to look after the two sta tions. . Mrs. Rlchey, chairman; Mrs. C. 1*. DuBose. 'Mrs. Robert Kennedy, Mrs. Henry Brown, and Ml*s Henrietta Johnson. The president then Introduced Mr. C P. McDaniel. secretary of our Chamber of Commerce, and he gave some information and read two letters from the officials of the Seaboard Rail Road. It Is their desire to make Camden one of the most comfortable and attractive station on the line, as It ha* the making of the most beautiful jyid with. the aid of the league they hope to bring this about However, there i? some red 4a pe attached to tt< and in order to make the desired lm provementa a lease for ft to or ten years, for a memorial turn must bo granted. Mrs, Rtohey, chairman of thti depot committee was authorised to secure this lease.
