Banquet. Perhaps the largest and most suc cessful banquet in the history of the Camden unci Kerahaw county ehamber of commerce was given Wednesday evening at the Masonic banquet hall. The hall was beautifully decorated tor the occasion -the columns, trimmed with srtilax and dotted with crimson ro$e| #nd the lights softened with 1 crimson' shades. Four long tables, measuring the entire length of t he /nail Were * rbsplendent in snowy linen, beautiful china and gleaming silver, while a profusion of flowers added to their beauty and attractive ness. z The president of the Chamber ofi Commerce, Mr. M, H. Heymon, acted a? toastmaatci ^nd presided with ease, and dignity. Dr. Edwin Muller of ] the Presbyterian church invoked the blessing.' Under the able supervis ion of Miss Minnie Clyburn, Mrs. illiam Antrum, Mrs. J. Blakeney ip ^nd Mrs. James Burns v* de* tfut . course diner was served, he first speaker of the evening was Camden's popular mayor, Mr. H. G., Cawisop, Jr., who sounded the keynote of hopefulness and encour agement. Mr, Carrison is optomistic and possesses the happy faculty of im parting' cheer and hope to his people. The Rev,,Brayshaw was next intro duced and gaVe a fine address on co-operation. Mr, Brayshaw is a r|ew-comer and is being warmly re ceived/ He is an asset in every par ticular fco the community. The next speaker was Miss Louise Nettles, who represented the women of the town and county, She spoke of Camden's past that had a certain splendor and tragedy with nothing of the common-place. in it?a past that dignified the devotion and en nobled the sacrifices that the women of Camden were glad to make forj "their native town; but she also said that a glorious yesterday could not| make ;a successful today nor a bright Mmdrt-dw, without earnest effort, in-j terest and labor. As their represen tative she pledged the loyal aid and generous support of the women of the town and county to all institutions memorial, benevolent, historic, educa tional, social and civic. - The toastmaster then introduced Mr. Laurens Mills, who always' {leases a Camden audience, and who, n an all too short address introduced 1 the speaker of the evening Dr. W. D.j Daniels of Clemson College. Dr. Dan iels is the fortunate possessor of the gift1 of, prptory and held the undi vided attention of the large audience from start to finish, passing quickly from the ridiculous to the sublime,] he kept them roaring with laughter or melted to tears. His speech was brimfull of wit and humor but also of logic, reason and judgment. He made a wonderful plea for the town and its institutions, ^specially for ' the Chamber of Commerce, and fox team work. May we add this?we must pull together ? ''And when the great umpire comes To write against your name It will not be whether you won or Most, ' B\it what d'd you do ^or *he team ? - Efon't stand off and be a kicker and expect your town to win.' , tyr,.

The entertainment given last Fri day evening in the school auditorium under the auspices of the Civic League and directed by Mrs. J. J. Garland, of Atlanta, was in many re spects a success. A full house greet ed the artists and that is always in spiring. The drill and dance by a number of Camden's pretty junior3, as the opqrtfng number, was especial ly ^attractive, with Miss Margaret Ancrum as the leading lady. "Danger" is a modernized edition of -"Mrs. Jolly's Wax Works" and earned us back to the days when we first read Dickens, "The Old Curios ity Shop," and our mournful recollec tions of "Little Nell," though she did not appear on the scene. She had been left out of the modern edition. Such are the changes which a few years bring abou^and so do things pass away like a tale that is told. The wonderful fieures that origniat 1 ed in the fertile brain of Dickens an 1 that have pleased many generations and created genuine fun and hearty laughter, brought forth their usual round of applause. And the new ones with their dances and songs "right up to the minute" were- also uproar* riously received. We understand that it was a financial success.
