Meeting of The Civic League,
The above organization held an in
teresting and enthusiastic meeting at
?' School auditorium Mon
day afternoon, Mrs. H. t>. Carrison,
Jr., third officer in the organisation,
called tho meeting to order and also
acted as secretary. At the October
meeting Mrs. K. C. R.ichey tendered
her resignation as president of the
League. The League did not accept
it, hoping to induce Mrs. Kiv'hey to
reconsider. Miaa Louise Nettles said
that while Mrs. Richey hail been <*
moat gracious and popular president
and had given wonderful service to
the league, and to the town, services
that would never be forgotten, she no
doubt had good and sufficient reasons
for giving up the leadership and
therefore moved the acceptance of the
resignation. Mrs. Edwin Muller also
tendered her resignation as first vice
president, this also was accepted with
regret that Mrs. Muller felt that sne'
could no longer fill that office. Mm
Cora C. Ancrum was elected president
of the League and Mrs. Howard Sin
gleton first vice president'.
Reports from the different commit
tees were heard and discussed. Plant
ing time is here and we want beauti
ful Camden to bloom afresh.
"Where a wind ever soft from the
blue heaven blows,
May bur groves bo of Laurel and
Myrtle and rose."
The newly elected president was
urged to take up this matter with her
committee and with the property own
ers at once. Different trees and
shrubs were discussed, the red-bud,
the pink j^pgwood, the holly, but most
of all the crepe myrtle, the old time
flower, for many years disregarded,
but has again come into favor and is
now the petted darling of the garden.
It belongs by every line of ib? varied
foliage^ in autumn and its dainty
blossoms in summer to the aristocracy
of plant life. It would envelop our
little city in h rose-tinted cloud. We
also want the wistaria with its rpyal
veil of purple that so beautifully
adorns many of our homes and which
is most closely connected in our
thoughts with Japan, which we imag
ine ever wreathed in wistaria as we
see them twining about the screens
and drawings that come from that far
away land to us. All of this however
was left with the president, her com
mittee and the property owners. As#
we have said many times before, the
Civic League is one of the most im
portant organizations in the town
and every woman should have her
name on the roll, even if she c6uld
not be an active member. Its mission
is the improvement and beautification
of Camden, her streets, parks andJ in
stitutions, the name denotes that and
the constitution, we believe, would
emphasize it. It is not a charity, soci
ety nor a patriotic organization. It is
civic and its interest and money
should be given to - civic purposes
alone, and to Camden, first, last and
all the time. It , is the narrow chan
nel that turns the wheel, when we
broaden out too much and over-lap
the work of other organizations we
are sure to lose power.
"Ye rigid plowmen! Bear In mind
Your labor is for future hours,
Atlvanee! spare not! nor look be
hind! (
Plow deep and straight with all
youR powers."
