On Monday night Miss Margaret

||. Stokes, of Columbia. Four tables

-ented with a set of bridge cards and

Tribute to h Good Woman.
Many friends in Camde^i were sad
dened by the news of the sudden
(loath of Mrs M. S. So well which oc
curred at the home of her grand
daughter, Mrs. James Covington, of
nennottesvillo on May 11th. She had
spent the winter in Louisiana with
her son. Sidney Smith, and had re
ecntly come back to her native state
where friends clasped her hands and
hade her welcome back, that she
longed for her old home and td see
again the friends of a life-time,
Mrs. Sowell was a woman of fine
mind and generous impulses. She
enjoyed the elbow-touch of comrade
.ship. Her interest in the wor<ld was
keen; her sympathy was quick to re
spond to the cry of need. Though
she had passed the allotted three
score and ten she did not lag on the
stage but kept abreast of the times.
She had come to the days of life's
autumn and early winter, but the
message-bearers tnat came to her on
the 11th and softly whispered "Peace"
were those of Spring. It was a kind
and loving Providence that fixed the
time of her going and decreed that
her pathway to Heaven should wind
among the tlowers of May?that the
honeysuckles, violets, roses and lilies
.shouid unlock for her the gates of
Paradise for she was a lover of flow
ers. Our earliest recollections of her
are associated with tho many beau- j
tiful flowers she cultivated and gen
erously bestowed upon those who
were less fortunate than herself.
It was her way of expressing
friendship and love. And now she
has gone to dwell in that "Sunbright
Clime."
'There are myriad__sfiuls with crowns
of light
And garments of beauty clear and
white,
They dwell in their immortal bowers,
Mid changeless hues of fadeless
tlowers,
Where, amid all things that are fair,
is given
The home of the just?-and its name
is Heaven,
Tht name of that Sunbright Clime." i

At His Old Tricks.
? W. W. Brigman, the white prisoner
who escaped from the Kershaw coun
ty chain gang Saturday of last week,
has not been captured but he has
been heard from. Chief of Police
Whitaker received a letter from a
Hamlet, N. firm this week stating
that Brigman had called at their store
on Monday and purchased an outfit oT
clothing and underwear and had ten
dered a check on a C-heraw bank for
$(J0 as payment and wanted the re
mainder coming to him in cash. The
check was acceptcd and not until
Brigman had made good his escape
was the forgery detected. The firm
was seeking the aid of the chief in his
capture.
Brigmatin had suffered a hurt to
his leg and the superintendent of
the gang had allowed freedom from
the shackles until his wound healed.
It is thought he was picked up by
a friendly automobile and carried
into North Carolina. In leaving
Brigmann picked up a fishing pole
around the camp and carried it with
him?presumably to make it appear
that he was a member of a fishing
party and would not be detected in
his escape by this ruse.

occasionally are given relief of the
tax imposed on its sale, when the
proceeds, or profits go towards the
purpose of school improvement, play
grounds, library, equipment or build
ing.
Death of Sidney W. Morton.
The Era last week gave account of
the accident which happened to Sid
Hilton, of Mississippi, whereby he had
one of his hands blown ofT and the
other badly mangled by the discharge
of dynamite. Since then, on Thurs
day, a telegram received here by re
latives stated that he died that morn
ing at 11 o'clock from his injuries.
His mother, Mrs. M. A. Hilton, left
to go to him upon learning of the ac
cident and ?she is still in Mississippi.
Up to this writing the specif?c de
tails had not been received concern
ing the tragic occurrence.
Sidney Hilton left Kershaw about
twenty years ago, and after spending
a while at several points in railway
service, about fifteen years ago he
settled at Ovett, Miss., which has
been his home continuously. For
many years he was station a^ent at
that point, but he later quit the ser
vice, has farmed some on a place
which he bought about six miles from
the town, but lived in town and was
conducting a garage at the time he
met with the unfortunate accident
which ended his life. He is survived
by his wife and six small children.?

Memorial Day in Camden.
The rain and hovering clouds that
ushered in the morning of Tuesday,
the 12th, somewhat upset the plana of
the John I). Kennedy Chapter U. 1>. C.
but it take9 more than dark clouda
and a downpour of rain to dampen
tlu- enthusiasm of that chapter, and
it was not long before the colors were
(lying -the red and white of the Con
federacy, that represent to us a glori
ous and unforgotten past. Old Glory
was also in evidence and we hope by
another year to have sufficient num
ber of Confederate Hags to mingle
with the folds of each.
"So in the great Republic's coming
years,
Will Blue and Gray like kindred
(I rase hi win
New glories for our shield; ?will Lee
and Grant,
Comrades, span the heights of Tame,
clasp hands
Across the bloody breach; will North
and South -
Weave into one great laurel wreatp
for all
The leaves of each, and to the end of
time,
With hearts attuned to human broth
erhood,
Lift our perpetual pean to the flag!"
At nine o'clock in the morning ap
propriate services were held at the
school auditorium, which had been
beautifully decorated by the loyal
hands of teachers. The auditorium
was packed to its utmost capacity
and the many hundred youthful faces,
filled with ambition, hope, promise
and possibilities was an inspiration
to the speaker, Miss Louise Nettle*,
president of the U. 1). C. Chapter.
Mrs. Clifton McKabn presided at the
piano and the children that were so
well trained made the building echo
with songs of the old South.
At 12:30 the annual dinner was
given the veterans at the Presbyte
rian Sunday School rooms-?a good
old fashioned dinner cooked anil serv
ed by .the Daughters. Mr. L. T. Mills
was toast master; Dr. Kdwin Muller
invoked the blessing; Mayor II. G.
Carrison, .Jr., welcomed the guests' t'j
the city, and Miss Nettles extended a
welcome in behalf of the Chapter.
Commandant W. F. Russell, Mr.
Stewart, Mr. George Moseley and Mr.
Bethune all gave interesting
speeches. Mr. Lee Little was the
next host at the movies to which all
veterans, their wives and widows were
invited.
The committee in charge <>f the pro
gramme for the afternoon exercises
was indeed resourceful. The sctjne
was -quickly changed from the ceme
tery to the school auditorium while
more elaborate and additional touches
of beauty were given to the already
beautifully decorated hall. Mr. L. A.
1 Wittkowsky was master of ceremo
nies. The opening prayer was mad?
by tlu- Rev. ,L T. Peeler of the Metho
dist church; Miss Alberta Team pre
sided at the piano and the programme
committee had arranged the prettiest
programme we have had in many
years. The school children marched
in by twos the girls in white frocks
and red sashes, and again the inspir
ing songs were sung, beginning with
"America, the Beautiful" and ending
with "Dixie."
Mr. R. Hobson Hiltoh was the
gifted and eloquent speaker for the
occasion, and a happier choice could
not have been made. A World War
veteran, with the Congressional Med
al for distinguished bravery and ser
vice, it was meet that he should
speak to those who had worn the gray
for the harp of heroism is attuned to
the deeds of the Confederate soldier
and the youthful orator had an in
spiring subject, to which he did full
justice, and by his example "he had
proven to the world that in the sons
of the South, that spirit of the fathers
still survives.
Dr. Edwin Muller dismissed the
audience with prayer.
The Chapter is indebted to the Am
eriean Legion and the Boy Scouts for
manv courtesies.
?Mr. Coursen does North For Summer
