Nettles, with Mrs. Ilovkin Khame as assistant hostess. The rooms of this attractive home vert* bright with autumn's brilliant colors, fail' messengers from Cam den's generous gardens now basking in the October sunshine. Mis* Louise Nettles as president and Mrs. N. C. Arnett as secretary Expressed their sorrow in giving up work that had been to them a labor tif love for eight years. Mrs. Arnett made a wonderful success as a secre ? tary having missed in the entire ,;ight years only four meetings and possessing to a marked degree every requisite for a good officer. Miss Nettles thanked the chapter for the hearty co-operation and loyal support ijivon her and the efficient and faith* fal work df her committees. During her regime the chapter had been joint hostess with her sister organiza tion, Hobklrk Hill Chapter, D. A. R., in entertaining the State D. A. R. convention; had gone through the vic issitudes of the Wqrld War raising ?Liberty bonds, etc; had been hostess chapter when Camden entertained the j South Carolina Confederate Veterans, and done much for education, benevo lence and other causes. And during that time not more than twice had it gone before the public for aid. All of this, the retiring president attrib uted to the splendid team work of a ? chapter that is now in the front ranks of the South Carolina division. With great love for the organiza tion she asked its interest and support for her successor, Mrs. N. R. Goodale, who had been chosen by the nomina tion committee and was duly elected to lead the chapter in reaching the heights of our aspirations. We have ?for our emblem an open, fleecy cotton boll that enters the trade marts of ;he? world: behind it is a star bearing on its five points humanity's legend, "Think, love, pray, dare, live." There fore we must enter the world's work and place ourselves in the van in the development and the upbuilding of its people. Mrs. Goodale accepted the gavel and took the chair expressing thanks for the honor conferred and O asking for the co-operation of the ? hapter and appointing several stand ing committees. Mrs. F. Leslie Zemp, a faithful and much loved member was elected sec retary. All other officers were re elected. Mr. T. J. Kirkland sent twenty-five Confederate Memorial coins to the ?neeting and they, were all sold. The social hour was especially pleasing. Mrs. Marvin M. Reason over read a selection from a diary of c the Sixties and Miss Annie Long of Meridian, Miss., gave a vocal solo, graciously responding to an encore. Mrs. Leon Schlosburg accompanied her on the piano. Punch and cake were served by Misses Lenora Rhame, Virginia Lee Nettles and Olive Nettles, while little Ivois Rhame, the pretty four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Boykin Rhame made her debut in a dainty dross of blue as she coyly passed the basket of doilies.

Important Library Notice The Library will be closed next week for the Librarian to take a be lated vacation, one that is given her annually but that she did not take during the summer on account of the increased number of school children reading. Thw was very gratifying and she decided to encourage it by keeping the Library open for them. All readers are requested to exchange their books and get out a sufficient number by Saturday, tomorrow after noon. There are no strangers in town and the winter reading has not started, or rather is not in full blast yet, so the management decided that this would be the best time for the closing.
