Through the KirkWood Hotel .and
ht personal efforts of its manager,
Ur. T. Edmund Krumbholz, tho Cam

or tho nice sum of $2,14Q.75. Some,

memorial to his father who was for
many years a beloved physician oi
?Camden and later a noted physician
|;wul surgeon of New York. _

Y. M. C. A. AmonR Things Conteiupla
tod by Chamber of Commerce.
,.rv.? ..... ^
An enthusiastic nnd well attended
me?tlii|F of the hourd of directors of
the Camden and Kershaw. County
Chamlwr of Commerce was held on
April 17th with our new commercial
secretary, K. I. Reardon, who took
charge 'of bis offlco on April Ilith. ?
ThosO present were Rev. F. H,
Harding, President, Directors W. F.
Nettles, L. C. Shaw, J. H. Burns, W*
Robin Zemp, J. M. Villepigue, It. O.
Sanders, H. K. Hallett, Mrs. D. R.
Williams, C. P, DuBose.
Among the mo?t important matters
acted upon was the appointment of a
special committee composed of direc
tors 0. P, DuBose, Chairman) W. F.
Nettles, Robin ?emp, and J. H. Bums,
to consider the advisability of a cam
paign for organizing a Y. M. C. A.
for Camden ai)d to report regarding
the advisability of taking stops to se
cure a site and erection of a building.
Judging by expressions of opinion and
thfc unanimity of approval of this pro
posed new Camden institution, and
from the popularity of the spobiul
committee in charge those on the out
side candidly believe that ('amden is
going to soon have a Y. M. C. A. or
ganization. %
? Mr. R. M. Kennedy was unanimous
ly elected a member of the board of
directors and chairman of the new
membership committee with Messrs.
B. G. Sanders, J. B. Zemp and I).
Wolfe as the other members of this
.committee. This committee will im
mediately move to increase the mem
bership by calling on all who do not
belong to the organization to connect
themselves therewith immediately.
Some volunteer new members are
coming in and a few have offered to
double up their subscriptions, The
financial and membership conditions
of this organization are very good at
present, but the directors wish to get
in every possible man and woman of
every profession, trade and occupation
in city and country districts of Ker-(
shaw County.
The president and secretary, JR. I),
Blakeney, Chairman, and Messrs.
L. C. Shaw and c! P. DuBose of the
committee on revision of bylaws were
requested to meet, and revise bylaws
and report at next directors' meeting.
Dr. R. E. Stevenson was elected as
n 'member of the Industrial Bureau
and Secretary Reardon was instructed
to act as chairman of this bureau un
til the regular chairman H. K, Hallett
returns from Boston, Mass.
A resolution of thanks to Mr. S. II.
Green, of No. 24 Federal Street,
Boston, Mass., was unanimously
adopted thanking him for his very in
spiring, entertaining and instructive
address at the luncheon given on
April 3rd. It was unanimously re
solved that the Camden and Kershaw
County Chamber of Commerce heart
ily approves of the proposed Clean
up and Paint-up Campaign under the
auspices of the Camden Civic Ix*ague,
and this body offers its services in
helping this good work ..

Major MiIIh on the Job.
Not nil South Carolinians who read
in morning jww# papers yesterday the
announcement made at New Haven
by General Fries regarding impor
tant progress attained in gas defense
were aware that the technical direc
tor of research and development work
for the Chemical Warfare service is
that sterling South Carolinian, James
Edward Mills, late Major of the First
Gas regiment, Thirtieth Engineers, :
A. K. F.
Major Mills in that deadliest of all
fighting types, a Presbyterian scien
tist. When he left his chair of chem
istry at the University of South Car- ,
olina, in September, 1917, to enter
military service, a line of his qualifi
cation record which conceivably had
to do with his assignment to combat
German toxic gas was: "Studied in
University of Berlin, 1901-05." His
service proved of such value that in
1921, when he had reclamed his teach
ing function, he was recalled by the
Chemical Warfare service and placed
in ^charge of its extensive research
and development underU^jungs at the
vast Kdgewood arsenal in Maryland.
Creditable to its humanity, the
United States has set. its face against
the employment in warfare hereafter
?of poisonous gapes, but until men and
nations shall have undergone much
more growth in grace than may be
.reasonably expected immediately, it
would not be creditable to American
common sense, not to pursue' studies
and provide devices for gas warfare
defense at least, it is therefore good
news that a much more efficient mask
has been evolved and that other nota
ble progress has been made in the
work which Major Mills directs. The
Statd, 5th inst.
Bridge Club Met.
The first assembling of the Thurs
day afternoon bridge club after the
Lenten season was held at the home
of Mrs. J. B. Zenvp with a full mem- !
bership present. After cards the
hostess served dainty refreshments
on the prettily appointed card tables.
