Important U. D. C> Meeting.
Members of the John j). ICenmady
Chapter will remember .that *t' pjjr
last meeting it was voted for a
contribution of fifty cent# pet- 'mem
ber for the Jefferson Davis High way ,
not an jissessment but simply a^wfe
quest. This money was to hav^.b^en
collected at the regular jWpUng,
June 4th; Obeying the dip^R^. of
our hearts this meeting was called
off, and will not bo held until Sepfcejm^
ber. But fn justice to the state. chair
man,. Miss Leila Shannon and^rhfc'
chapter chairman, Mrs. W. J. Dunn,
we feel that as much of this^money
as possible should be paid lone. JT1J9
county engineer had kindly pf&iri&ea
to help with the marking as he goes,
over the road, hence the ?nnoiialati
immediate action. Will members then
forward the amount they wish to COn^
tribute, fifty cents, more or less, to
Miss Shannon, or if more convenient
leave it with the chapter president at
the Camden Library. , So faithfully
have been commemorated the deeds
and lives of the heroes of the south
with monuments of granite- and mar-1
ble and tablets and memorials of
bronze, that we are called monument
builders. We deserve the name, for
so impressed were the women of the
South .with the knowledge that the
Southern soldiers had none blit them
to do honor and sot proud were they
to In- conservators of the glory of the
'Confederate Army that they have
erect eel- towering bronze and spotless'
marble to tell the .story of this glory.
And now, we- are building this high
wh\ from the Atlantic to the 'Pacific
in honor of our great civic chieftain,
Jeff< rson Davis, and when completed,
it will be the greatest memorial eVetf
built by any organization. Agaih let
us urye the chapter members not to
forget this little jobligation,

Tho Home Economics L^partment
has done very good work l>ut not as
good as it would have if it had tho
proper equipment. The Camden High
School is tho only school in Kershaw
county which has a regular course in
Hppie Economics.
Tho above account of tho tine dis
pla# made by the Home Economics
Department of the Camden High
School was given us by one of the
pupils, as wo were late going in..
However, we had opportunity of see
ing the dainty handwork and have a
"tasting recollection" of the deli
cious refreshments prepared by Cam
den's future housekeepers.
"We may live without poetry, music
and art; %
We ntay live without conscience \nd
live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may
live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks."
This department has been quite
an addition to. the High School. Miss
Watson is the popular, efficient and
successful teacher. We congratulate
her on her achievements and hope for
her return to Camden .next year.
, In Regard to Thursday Closing.
At the May meeting of the Civic
League a discussion came up in re
gard to asking the Camden merchants
to close their stores every Thursday
afternoon and thereby give their em
ployees a half holiday. Other near-by
towns and cities were doing this, and
it did not seem to be a ldsjng game.
A committee of four ladies way ap
pointed to circulate the petition and
also to ask for the endorsement of the
Chamber of Commerce. The move
ment origina'ted^in the Civic League
and that organization alone is respon
sible for it. If thes is any criticism
in regard to it, let tjs place it at the
'door of the League and not to the
account of the Chamber of Commerce,
that had nothing to do with it. The
League stands four square for Cam
den, and for Camden's .institutions
arid Camden's progress, and there was
certainly no threat to boycott the
merchants who failed to sign the pe
tition. We are for Camden's mer
chants first, last and *all the tinie,
r whatever may be their views on
Thursday afternoon clqsing, and the
petition presented was in the nature
of a friendly request or suggestion
and not a demand. We are indeed
sorry that there should have been
any feeling on the subject or that any
one should for a moment, think that
the League ? was trying to manage
their business affairs. Nothing of the
kind wd$ thought of during the dis
cussion *in the May meeting. No in
deed^ Mr. Merchant, the Civic League
will .never advocate trading out ? of
Camden ? do j{isfc>as you' please about
signing the petition, but you will
still get our nickels, for '-'with all
your faults, we love you still."

I Statement. From R. L. Moseley.
writer of the article ap
pearing in the Camden Chronicle May
18th, and Messenger of 1 the 22nd,
which had reference to certain ru
mors in regard to the fact that only
Camden Ice Company could get ice
made by the local plants, and Mr. A.
K. Blakeney's reply thereto, I wish to
say that in no particular was any re
flection intended to be cast by me at
Mr. Blakeney/ or any one else in par
ticular, vfor as a ^natter of fact at the
time said article was written by me
but one responsible man told me
that such a rumor was out, and this
man did not mention any author for
the rumor. f
My position was and is now, that
anyone# desiring to go into the retail
ice business can get supplied with
ice made in Camden, and if they real
ly prefer doing business direct with
the plant, in my opinion they can do*
that top. .
I also state again, that if there is
anyone that feels that there is a for
tune t<xbc made in the retail ice busi
ness that the Camden Ice Company
will sell, and they have more than
goodwill to offer. Including the fol
lowing: 2 Republic trucks both need
