/dciety\ The Bapquet. perhaps not within the hiatory of ijie commercial and x civic life of hM ? more delightful occa sion been enjoyed by a representative company of citizens, from town and county than that of Friday evening when the Camden and Kerahaw Coun ts Chamber of Com in tree gave their annual banquet. When th<jb.doors of the Masonic dining hall were thrown open the in coming guests were impressed -With the i harming and inviting interior, The column* were twined with amilax \nd dotted with red roses,' and roses everywhere amid the green were ef fective \ bright and beautiful. Five long tables stretching the entire fcngth of the hall were) lovely in a setting of Autumn's brilliant, hues, and afforded ample accommodation 0 the more than two hundred guest s. A course dinner was served ? the menu and service all that the most fastidious could de'siro. The blessing was ( invoked by Dr. Edwin Muiler and the Rev. F, H. Harding, president of the organiza tion requested Mr. M. L. Smith, Cam den's distinguished orator to ' act as toast master and ho introduced the , speaker of the evening, Dr. J. C. Guilds, of Columbia, who gave a most excellent address, teeming with good advice, wit and humor. Among the after-dinner speakers were Messrs. James H. Burns, G. T. kittle, C. J. Shannon, Jr., David Wolfe, C. I'. DuBose, H. K. Hallett, E. 1). Blakertey. B. G. Sanders, and others. The keynote of each address wuk cooperation for Camden and Ker shaw county's interest first, last and always. An expression of popular homage to a public favorite was giv er*. to Mayor H. kG. CurriSGa, Ji ., * u u splendid ovation when he was called uoon for a speech. This commenda tion from his own people must have been very gratifying to the young mayor, for "There are no friends like the old ones,, Who have shared our morning days, No greeting like their welcome, No homage like their praise." We cannot be too complimentary to the Camden orchestra and to Mr. H. F. Cobb who had the singing in charge. In addition to the instrumen tal numbers and the community songs Jed by Mr. Cobb, the eompany was favored with two vocai duets by. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Zemp, and two vocal solos by Mr. Clifton McKain. Mr. W. L. DePass, Mr. L. C. Shaw and Miss Minnie Clyburn as chair man of efficient committees, are to be congratulated upon ' the wonderful success of their efforts. i The people of Camden and Kershaw county are enthusiastic and alive. They feel that a brighter day has dawned for the old town and county and that prosperity not only looms on the near horizon but is already here. Then with a long pull,, a Sure pull and a pull all together let us in vite prosperity and her companions' cooperation and progress - to make their permanent abode with us. , The Camden and Kershaw County Cham ber of Commerce is the gracious hos tess to extend this invitation to make its acceptance possible.

The first fall meeting of the, Cam den Chapter Winthrop Daughters was held -at the home of Mrs. J. Gardner. Richards, Monday afternoon and was a delightful meeting in every partic ular. An enthusiastic membership was present.. . Several letters from present day Winthrop girls were read, each one giving an interesting account of the college activities. An inspiring let ter from Mr. Cokcr, vice president of the college was read and enjoyed. The chapter decided to adopt as its chief activity for the coming year the es tablishment of a library in the new Grammar school. A public library and a school library are separate and distinct, .each has its own mission and one cannot take the place of the other. The grammar school needs the library Camden has and uses to the fullest extent its public library, both great and useful factors in the edu cational field. It was decided to make a survey of Kershaw county in order to find out the different types of work Winthrop ex-students are doing. The chapter expects to have a Dutch banquet some time in November, and Winthrop girls throughout the county are invited to be present. Several members of the Winthrop faculty will be on hand and there will be lots of good music, toasts, etc., and in fact everything that it takes to make a banquet a joy ous occasion. After business a social hour was enjoyed; the hostess served a tempt ing m??nu.

We are told that every available room in the Camden hotels and pri vate homes of Camden were taken Wednesday night and many travelers had nowhere to sleep during the night owing to the rush of travel through the city. Being the junction point of two main highways many stop here for the night, and we learn some had to spend the night at the city court room, lounging in chairs, while the tourist camp ground was crowded to capacKy with tents and cars. We would suggest that private homes having spare rooms ;to let not ify the hotel keepers or the police department so that travelers can find a lodging place. York Votes "Out of the Mud.""
