Chautauqua Week a Success. Social activities were side-tracked this week while big, little, old and young* followed the "Red-path" that led to the chautauqua that had pitched its tent amid the stately oaks that spread their shade over the spacious grounds of . the grammar school. Ten delightful entertain ments were given and it would be hard to say which was the most en joyable as there seemed to be some thing to suit each individual and the people as a whole. The talept for eaph day was introduced by Mr. Code, of New Orleans, a young man of en gaging manners and attractive per sonality, who made many friends' during his stay among us. The tent was packed for each performance, the last night even standing room was at a premium. Among the attractions were two fine lectures, one by_ the Hon. C. H. Brough, "who was one time governor of Arkansas; the other by Captain Dinsmore Upton. Miss Virginia Slade, of Kentucky, charmed the audi ence with her rendition, "Within the Law" and '.'The Potter and the Clay," was both pleasing and instructive. "Six Cylinder Love" was brjm-full of fun anjl laughter and alpo . taught a good moral. Betty Booth with her talented company captured hearts by the score and the "Ladies Quartette" was a prize attraction. The Dunbar Male Quartet and Bell Ringers will not soon be forgotten by those who had the pleasure of hearing them. "An Evening in Hawaii," will long re main a happy memory as it brought close to us those far-away islands. The people feel under many obliga tions to the citizens who brought the chautauqua, or made its coming pos sible and we are glad to know that they went over the top, did not lose anything. We look . forward with great pleasure to the return of the Redpath Chautauqua Tiext year and promise them in advance a warm and enthusiastic welcome. ? Mr. Code said some very compli mentary things about our town, and we feel sure that our people fully, appreciate and reciprocate the senti ments expressed, for himself and the talent he represents. 'The Wrath to Come," by Oppenheim The above book was left at the door, of the Camden Library this week and was taken by some reader. Will the {>erson who got it please notify the ibrarian at once? And again let us beg you not to leave books at the door. The hours are from 9:30 to noon and from 5 to 6:30 in the after noon. And if for any reason the library is closed during these hours do not leave the books. Some reader thought it all right to take the book, and it would have been if they had immediately notified the librarian. Remember that the person to whom the book is charged is responsible and your holding it may cause that person to have to pay. There are a number of books long since over due at the library. May we beg the reading public to be considerate enough to send them in. Business Meeting of Auxiliary. Hie Woman's Auxiliary, Branch B, Grace Episcopal church, has changed its regular business meeting from the Arst Friday of the month to Uio third Tbooday. On next Tuesday afternoon th? meeting will be hold at the homo of the presldtfnt, Mrs. Bratton de mmmm ?*?#****; Memorial Day in Camden. Friday dawned bright and beautiful and the early morning"? found thp members of the John 1). Kennedy chapter busy with the preparations for the veterans' dinner. All huppy that they are a part of an organiza tion that is the greatest of Memorials to the men who suffered ami died tdk honor and principle; and proud, to honor those who in the eyes of the world suffered defeat; and proud that wo have placed before? the youth of our land the life and character of our "Knights Exemplar, " Lee, Jackson, Beauregard and others, stimulating them to love the best, emulate the bust. They consider the children of the South their heritage and are giv ing to hundreds of them education and with this beacon of hope em blazon the way for them to become honorable, useful and intelligent citi zens, noble assets to the nation. They are the flower of Southern woman hood, drawn to one another by the magnet of a common heritage of glory. This year the dinner was given in the Presbyterian Sunday school room and it spelled success through the efficient labors of Mrs. W. J. Dunn and her able committees. The bless ing ^as invoked by Dr. Edwin Muller and Mr. L. T. Mills acted as toast master. Mayor H. G. Carrison, Jr., gave a splendid address of welcome from the city and Miss Louise Nettles gave a few words of cordial welcome from the chapter. The toastmaster in his usual pleasing way made a short but appropriate and choice speech and called on several veterans. Mr. Tuck Murchison and Judge W. F. Russell responded to the delight of the daughters. Old Southern sohgs were sung, led by Mrs. Ernest Zemp, Mrs. J. B. Zemp and others, Cigars were then passed to the veterans by courtesy of the American Legion. In the afternoon services or eker cises were held at the cemetery. ' The city council had erected a new -stand as a courtesy to the chapter. It is in a beautiful and picturesque spot just outside the cemetery where the soft winds moan and sigh in the branches of the pines that wave their ever-lasting green above it, while the historic battlements of the Revolution are around it and near-by is the grave , of Agnes of Glasgow, famed 1 in traditional Song and story, this too had been remembered and flowers placed on the mound. Over towards the setting sun could be seen the marble-dotted slopes and mounds as green as an April hill. A soft radi ance suffuses the sce/ie and the imag ! ination pictures the silent tents in which the departed souls rest forever on the peaceful fields of the here after. "The sunshine of their native sky Smile's sadly on thetn here, And kindred eyes and hearts watch By the heroes sepulchre." Mrs. N. R. Goodale as chairman of the committee introduced Dr. Bold ridge who made the opening prayer. Dr. Edwin Muller introduced the speaker of the occasion Dr. Lapsley of Columbia. . This splendid address was the outstanding event of the day and we hope to hear Dr. Lapsley again. Miss Mary Blaqkwell charm ingly. rendered "The Bivouac of the Dead," the Kershaw Guards fired three volleys and Capers Zemn sounded the bugle call. The music club sang, several* old songs in which the people joined. ? ' . "Rest on embalmed and sainted dead, Dear as the blood ye gave, No impious footsteps here shall tread The herbage of your. grave; I Nor shall your glory be forgot While her record keeps, Or Honor points the hallowed spot Where Valor proudly sleeps."
