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, 11 A." W. F.

Kconomics Department [ of the Camden High School held a reception for the patrons of the school At the high scKqgI, Thursday after noon, May, 17ih, from tlve to seven y 'clock. '? " I Work in textile* ami foods welv. displayed in the two rooitts occupied by this department. The chief fea ture of the afternoon was a fashion show oy the girls of the department. Each gill woro the dress that she had diimIc. Mr. Sunt Karosh had kindlv offered three prises for the best dress oa tftftdo. The judges were: Mrs.* K. 0. Ritchie, Mrs. B. 0. von TresCkovv and Mr. Sam Karesh. Ellen Khoden re ceived the first prize, Helen Hinson the second and Louise McCoy the t In rd prize. Refreshments wore served during tho afternoon. 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." Civic League. University of South Carolina Schol arnhip and Entrance Examina tions.

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
