Long: "The silent director whose keys fit every door," has once again entered Hobkirk Hill Chapter, D. A. R., and left a void in our ranks. In the death of Mrs. Mary Elise Long the chapter has lost a one time useful and al^ ways faithful member. Her lovely character, sweetness of disposition, loyalty and devotion to every cause she espoused were notable character istics. Her brilliancy,- beauty and gracious personality made her a val uable addition to any organization. So in the pekce and quiet of this mo ment, we reverently bow our heads as we place a laurel wreath to her memory and ask that a page in our minute book be inscribed to her mem ory, and this tribute be placed there on. Also that a copy be sent to her daughter, Mrs. Julia Long Knapp, and that it be published in the Cam den Chronicle. Respectfully sub mitted by Hobkirk Hill Memorial Committee. Miss Louise Nettles, Chair., Mrs. T. J. Kirkland, Mrs. P. T. Villepigue. A South-East Romance. I A man from the east boarded a street car in the south. A southerner got up to give a la day his seat. The eastern man had beat the lady to it. The body will be sent back east for buriaL? rThe Nashville Tennes fleean. Dr. Pell says: "The ambition to be a prominent figure in the world is not in itftelf Ik very worthy one. A dead wfeais is a prominent figure, but one would find it as agreeable to be a Meeting of U, D. C. Chhpter. Notwithstanding tho very disa greeable and rainy afternoon a good ly number assembled at the home of Mrs. F, Leslie Zemp for the Febru ary meeting of the John I). Kennedy Chapter U. 1). C. The glowing fire and the eherry rooms decked Id Con* federate flags, with the warmth pf the greeting extended by the hon tesses contrasted vividly and favor ably with the gloom and chill out ride. /; The chapter president presided and the chapter secretary was in her place as usual. The collection of dues was an important factor in the business programme and a letter was read from the absent treasurer, Mrs. E. K. Sill, urging prompt pay ment. The membership tax must be paid to the general U. D. C. and tc the State Division by March and the chapter must have a paid up mem bership in order to meet this pay ment. Please 8ee or send the an nual dues, $1.00 to Mrs. C. M. Cole man at once. Miss Leila ? Shannon v who was chairman of the committee to place a memorial in Camden to Jefferson Davisj on the highway that bears his name has accepted the State Chair manship which is a distinct compli ment to the chapter and to Miss .Shannon's efficiency. Mrs. W. J. Dunn was appointed to fill the vacancy1 as chapter chair man with the following committee: Mrs. John T. Mackey, Mrs. Eugene Brown, Mrs. C. M. Coleman, Miss Ella Zemp. The chapter will take great pleas ure in presenting to the school audi torium a state flag? the "Bonnie Blue Flag," the palmetto and the crescent that wears the single star and is dear to the heart of every South Carolinian. "Oh flag so fair! Oh flag so free! Our banner of sweet liberty!" We want generations to know and revere not only the South's part in the building of the nation but those golden days of long a^o when the fairest type of civilization ever known reigned in the land we love, our Southland. Mesdames F. Leslie Zemp A. S. White an<J Edwin Muller were appointed as a committee to in quire into the matter of purchasing the flag and report at the next meeting. We hope to present it with suitable exercises. We were glad to have Mrs. Jesse Arthur and her daughter, Miss Lu- ; cile Arthur with us. Although they live iri far away California they hold their membership in the John D. Kennedy Chapter. After business a social hour w|is enjoyed the hostess serving delicious refreshments. Mrs. Rivers Alexander applied for ' membership and was accepted the registrar was instructed to forward application blanks. Membership ? certificates for Mrs. Ben Wylie Gettys and Mrs. Andrew Whitaker have been received and can be obtained from the chapter presi dent at' the Camden Library. 1 The chapter which is the largest woman's organization in the county endorsed the petition to be sent by Mrs. W. Bratton deLoach to the Leg islature for an increased appropria tion for the poor of Kershaw coun ty.. Downfall of Dr. Cook. Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 2.-?-Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who claimed to have discovered the North Pole, was discovered late Wednesday night by his wife, a detective and a patrol man, who were out doing a little ex ploring themselves, in a hotel room here with a bottle of whiskey. The officers declared that a young woman was with him. They took the explorer, the woman and the li quor to the police station, where I)r. Cook spent the night in a cell. Yesterday, the doctor, who is six ty years old, was brought before a United States commissioner, charged with illegal possession of liquor, and released on bond of $.r>00. He waived preliminary hearing. No charge has been preferred against the woman. The explorer vehemently denied he was in the room with a woman. The detective tartly replied: *Tell it to the Danes," and Cook had no more to say. Mrs. Cook has filed suit for di vorce, asking custody of their only child, and alleging cruel treatment. The explorer declares that his wife is trying to get his fortune, which has been increased by Dr. Cook's promotion- of oil ventures. Mrs. Cook has obtained an injunction for bidding Dr. Cook to withdraw his funds from a bank. A new smokeless railroad locomo tive has been invented by a Russian in Berlin. The new engine has no smoke stack and looks like an ordi nary baggage car. The inventor says his invention will make it possible to build railroads in the Sahara Desert and other places where water is not found. Next Wednesday at the Majestic see Re* Ingram's greatest success since "The Four Horsemen/' "THE PRISONER OF ZENDA." has been kidnapped and forced to get out of the country, according to a correspondent from that town. The story goes that Moye was kidnapped in Warrenville between 7 and 8 o'clock Sunday night by several men in an liutomobile, their names not bein^ known. He was taken out on the P^ne Log road, a few miles from Warrenville, and there the car was met by; several other men, who had their cOat collars turned up and hats pulled down over their eyes. The Orangeburg delegation in the house has received a statement sign ed by the members of the Orange burg county highway commission. J. W. Smoak, S. J. McCoy, J. L. Shuler, J. F. Gleckley and C. F. Bur gdorf, refusing to resign,, as recently requested by the Orangeburg solons. The commission's statement is in re ply to a Statement published recently by ttyf jdelegation, with copy of letter sent to the commission members, re questing them to resign. The com mission gives three reasons for its refusal' ? that it wishes to complete the road programme which it has started; that it does not wish to "re tire under fire" and that many citi zens have urged its members not to quit. This action brings a climax to the fight between the commission and the delegation. In 1844 two men arrived at the spot where Portland, Oregon, now stands. One man was from Boston and the other from Portland, Maine. Each wanted to name the place for his home town and to settle the argu ment a penny was flipped. The Port land man won, according to the story. Pettygrove was his name and his descendants still treasure the historic penny. It came out at the flogging of W. W. Moyd, in Aiken rounty, was because of connection with the ar rest of Mrs. Kate Williamson of Wagener in Greenville on January 14, on the charge of having murdered her husband. Moyd went to Green ville, so it is said and was pretend ing to make a living as a fortune teller. He made affidavit on which the warrant for Mrs. Williamson was issued. British India raises nearly 2,000,000 acres of peanuts each year. Sure Fire Flint, with Johnny Hinos, showing at the Majestic to morrow is just as good a picture as "The Hottentot." GKNBRAL N?;W8 NOTES. Items of Interest (gathered From Many Source#. Henrietta Hamilton, a negro wo pian, died at Pendleton on Monday 'aged 103 years. T. Cr. McFudden, a senior at Wof ford College, from the Fort Lawn section of Chester county, was killed in Spartanburg last Friday by being thrown from the tool box of a strip ped down car, as the car, driven by a fellow student was making a quick turn> around the corner. The young man was a son of T. li? McFadden. County police and prohibition offi cers seized a big blockade distillery in the Musgrove Mill section of Spartan burg county, Wednesday morning. The outfit had a capacity of 170 gal lons of .liquor a day. The officers seized with the outfit, nearly 2,000 gallons of beer and about 1,000 pounds of sugar. Two men working at the still were arrested, both of them .being ex-convicts wf?U were re leased from the penitentiary in l)e comber. Fire which started at about 10:80 Tuesday night completely destroyed .the Corley building at Loxington and made two families honjttytos. A num ber of stores were burned out. The Corley building is the largest building in loxington. For a time the flames threatened nearby houses and the lack of water and fire-fighting appa ratus handicapped the volunteer fire fighters. The total damage is esti mated at $75,000, partly covered by insurance. Representative McAdams on Wed nesday introduced a bill to make the buyer of liquor an accessory to the crime of selling and equally as guilty and subject to the same penalties as the men guilty of selling the liquor, and also to make persons found at a still equally guilty with the party or parties convicted of operating a still. Representative Prickett of St. Matthews, introduced a bill to more rigidly enforce the laws prohibiting the sale of so-called medicines con taining jalcohol for drinking purposes.
