"South Carolina's own poet? for a two-day vlait last week. Mr. Hey ward was accompanied Ity his. wife, Dorothy Heyward, whose play "The Lighted House'' was produced at the Town Theater in Columbia ]ast week. The Henry Timrod and DuBose Hey ward literary societies of the Camden High School were responsible for Mr. Heyward's visit, and to them the people of Camden are indebted for the privilege of hearing him speak. Mr. and Mrs. Heyward arrived in Camden Tuesday morning, and Tues V afternoon Mr. Heyward read to Mrs. Winkler's study class at the Hobkirk Inn some selections from his no^el "Porgo." which will be pub lished next fall. On Wednesday evening in spite of the unusually disagreeable weather, an enthusiastic audience greeted Mr. Heyward at the High Sehool audi torium. Mr. Laurens Mills pf.the Camden l^ar graciously introduced Mr. Heyward, who expressed himself as being delighted with the cordiality with which he was received in Cam den, and spoke of the honor of having a literary society named for him, saying that most poets had to be. dead for jnany years before they had sueh honors bestowed upon them. This society was recently organized, an1 its existence ? is largely due to thf interost of Miss Etta JZemp, teachef of English in the High School, wh$> has succeeded in inculcating in heV pupils a love of good literature. Mn. Heyward made a short talk on moif1 ern poetry in the South, and selections from the/works of William Percy, Olive Tiffed Dargan, Henry Bellman and Hervey Allen, with whom he collaborated in writing Carolina Chansons. He also read a few selections from his own poems, and of these his audience would have liked to have heard more. No description of Mr. Heyward could JHj?roore apt than the one by he is known, "South Carolina's own poet." for his manner, bearing and language speak of the low coun try at its best. Mr. Heyward's audi ence was most appreciative and en-*" thusiastic, and unlike Mr. Stanhope Sams, of Columbia, rather enjoyed the fact, like themselves this famous poet has no R's in his vocabulary, and found a certain fascination in those stronge vowel sounds that only the vocal organs of a Charlestonian caji produce. While in Camden Mr. and Mrs. Heyward were the guests of Mrs. Edward C. DuBose and were guests of honor at several informal social affairs. On Tuesday evening Mrs. DuBoas?inyited the officers of the two literary societies and a number of interested friends to meet Mr. and Mrs. Heyward. On Wednesday Mr. and Mrs. Heyward lunched with Mr. and Mrs.. John Villepigue,- and on Wednesday afternoon the High School boys and girls took them for a drive and afterwards entertained them at tea at the school building. Mr. and Mrs. Heyward left Thurs day morning for Columbia to attend the first performance of Mrs. Hey ward's pVay. Auxiliary Notes The Woman's Auxiliary of Grace Episcopal church held the regular monthly business meeting at the resi dence of Mrs. W. B. deLoach, the president, on the last Tuesday in January.

P. Farren, Manager There are more than 386 telephone stockholders in South Carolina. Bell System stock may be bought at any telephone office, for cash or by making monthly payments. Big Investment For Service JfJfHIi expenditure for addi ilLtionsandextensions to the Bell Telephone System in South Carolina duriilfc the year 192.5 promises to ne the larg est in the history of the State. More than 5/24,000 will lv required to carry out this program of expansion and meet the constantly growing need for tefe'phone service. Practically all this is new money, secured from invest ors, wh6 furnish these funds with the expectation of earn ing a reasonable return. It is estimated that more than 2,2()0 new telephones will he added in South Caro lina alone tUbuyear. To make this gain, the telephone work ers must install additional switchboard and other facili ties that these new subscribers may be served. As the number of subscrib ers increases, the service grows in value and'in scope, and the plant additions per telephone cost more each succeeding year. This growth leads ulti mately to a plant investment that must earn a higher return in revenue per telephone. \ ? That telephone subscribers receive more for the money they spend for telephone serv ice than for any comparable service or commodity is due to the eft^pdncy olthe Bell Sys tem organization in South Car olina and elsewhere.
