Camden Yesterday and Today
Under the supervision of Miss
Mary Blackwell and her co-workers
the ^plans and arrangements for the
pageant ? Camden, Yesterday and
Today, are being pushed forward.
The date' has not been fixed, but it
is hoped that it^can be given some
time during the month of March as
that month marks the one hundredth
anniversary of LaFayette's visit ; to
Camden. The period portrayed will
include Revolutionary and Mexican
wars, ante-bellum days, War Between
the States, 'Reconstruction and Red
Shirt campaigns and Camdeh's pres
ent prosperity and a glimpse into a
bright a\d hopeful future;?a future
that seems to be stretching out fair
and smiling before the old town.
Many of the parts will be assigned'
to the lineal descendants of the men
who figured prominently in the af
fairs of the Camden of yesterday?
men who now sleep beneath its his
toric soil and whose descendants for
generations have been the arbitra
tors of its destiny. As the scenes
pass before us in panoramic array wo
may picture in fancy the thrilling
days of lang ago.
"When fancy is lard of our un
challenged fate <
And time seems T>ut the vassal of
our will,
We will entertain certain guests of
state?
The great of olden days."

Early at Home in Water
The wood duck, unlike most other
ducPfs, usually builds his nest far
from his natural element, wate**,
writes Ellis Gilmore MacLeod, in St.
Nicholas. But no sooner are the
eggs hatched and the ducklings about
the size of bumble-bees, than each
parent bird takes a little one in its
bill, wriggles through the opening in
the. chestnut tree or white oak which
harbors the nest and, with a quick
glance lest some enemy may lurk
near, flies swiftly overland to creek
o rwater hole. Here the two tiny bur
dens are dropped gently into the
water.
.-.Without previous swimming les
sons, these newly hatched mites dart
over the surface of the water for the
cover of marsh grass or lijy pad
where they hide until the return of
their parents with more of their
brothers and sisters.
The flight of the old ducks con
tinues back and forth from the home
nest to the water until the family
of from 12 to 18 are assembled, when,
at a soft call-rfote from the parents,
every little paddler darts from cover
and starts chasing water spiders, a.-?
if that were an old game.
A bill has been brought up in the
Danish Parliament i by Minister of
Justice Steincke which would author
ize doctors under certain conditions
to take the life of a person who was
? hopelessly ill and who desired it,
without incurring punishment. This
! according to the old law was desig
nated as manslaughter or murder.

? The Pinliif of Mr*. V. 8. Jordan
It is with sorrow that we chronicle
the pulsing of this splendid woman
which occurred at her home on Chest
nut street last Saturday evening after
an illness of several weeks. Mrs.
Jordan was before her marriage Mis*
Harriet Kichardson, a member of t^e
prominent Richardson family of lower
Carolins, but with her parents was
?making her home in Savannah, Ga ,
in the late aeventies when she Was
married to the late Mr. Valentine 8.
Jordan, who brought her to Camden
as a bride, and since that time she
has been one of our "own people",
living in the town or on the planta*
tion in West Watereo. The years
that have gone by forged a chain
of abiding friendships that were loyal
to the last and will hold in loving
remembrance the beauty and dignity
of her character, the charm of her
companionship, the kindly charity of
her loyal heart. A typical daughtor
of Carolina?courteous, cultured, in
tellectual for she Was a woman of
strong mentality. She had passed
her three score years and ten?a long,
bseful and beautiful life| ' And ever
as we think of her there drifts into
our hearts the promise "At eventime
]t shall be light.'' She walked in
paths of righteousness^. and peace.
Her feet trod the straight way of
the Christian, she served her church,
pure and undefiled. The funeral ser
vices were solemnized at Grace
.church Sunday afternoon, the Rev.
deLacey Brayshaw was the official
ing minister, and she was laid to rest
in the old Quaker cemetery beside
the husband of her youth and the
beautiful young daughter, Miss Eliza
beth Jordan, ,who died eleven years
ago. Two children survive, Mr. John
Jordan of Norfolk, Va., and Mrs. T.
J. Lipscomb of Camden.

Library Notes
The people have been showing ?
keen interest in this important vo
cational institution recently and ha^e
been responding: graciously to the
plea for a 1925 membership roll. The
inclement weather* seriously inter*
fered with this however,^and mem
bers have not j^een seen. If you are
one of that number, will you not cull
at the Library and leave the annual
fee of $1.00 at the desk? You cer
tainly could not make a better in
vestment for the welfare of youv
town for the future enlightenment
refinement and culture of its citizen*
.ship. Is a public Library an asset7
Is it a public benefactor? If you
can answer these questions in tho
affirmative it is your duty as a
citixen to stand four square for it
and at least give the endowment of
your name on the membership roll.
If you answer the questions in tho
negative, well you differ fronf all the
great minds in every walk and voca
tion in the past and present affairs
of the world. Think seriously about
it and we feel sure that a dollar
will not t>e big enough to obscure
your vision to what a public library
means to Camden and its people.
Many of the overdue books have
como in ? please look them up in
your homes and let the good work
go on.
