By MUm Loutae Nettles Meeting of the Civic I.eaRue The October meeting of the Civic M'ivguo was held at the Grammar -vhool auditorium and was unusually u!l attended and interesting. Th" .^resident, Mrs. William Ancrum, pre sided and Mrs. H. G. Garrison, Jr., was in her place as secretary. The measurer, Mrs. Leroy S. Davidson, 4H\r a report which was very grati fying, showing that important office :n be in a healthy condition. . It was decided to again give milk htv year to school children who ?ould not get it otherwise and a com- i nittee appointed to cohfer with the ?cachet's in regard to this matter. The league also vottni to have an nformal reception or welcoming ?neeting with the teachers as honor quests at a time and place to be named later, but it is to be in the ^ear future. The planting of trees, shrubs and ?'rass came up for discussion and the president strongly advocated the planting, of pink crepe myrtle along our ? highways and byways, dwarf ;rces with their white bark and show er of pink blossoms would indeed give ldditional beatfty to our town. We lave soil, space and climate her^t, t<> nake our town, rich in history tradi tions, to rival fair Japan. Yes, we iould make it ? \ town where the dogwood trees bloom, Where the gold jasamine glows in the deep thickets' gloom; Where a wind ever soft from the blue heaven blows And our groves be of laurel and myrtle and rose. ; The development of its beauty from year to year and the pleasure it is lo give to others later on is a val mble educational exercise. One of 'he best influences of the league may be to impress upon the minds of old ind young the duty of thinking ahead .^nd planning for the generations to -ome!_ They would like to have all esidents plant grass in front of their nomes, not flower plots, but grass as t is more beautiful and more uni form. Italian rye, Virginia gray ^ras.-. or Southern evergreen were all ?(?commended and how is the time to *>lant. It was also suggested that :he law against chickens and other :owls be enforced as they destroy the -eed as fast as they are planted. The league was pleased to have as i visitor ' Mrs. E. C. von Tresckow, vho in days gone by organized tho eague that has been, and is, worth nuch to Camden and its people.

A Week-end at Rock Spring The Gettys family of Rock Spring Plantation know just how to "wel come the coming and speed the part ing guest," and just how to make every minute of a week-end visit charming and delightful. It was our good fortune last week-end to be in vited and carried to this representa tive plantation home, or rather homes for there arc four of thorn on the hill, each possessing its own individual charm and cordial hospitality and each a model plantation honje. Aside from the modern conveniences we picture in fancy the life in the old time South when the planter was in the counting house counting out his money; his wife was in the parlor eating bread and honey. None but a Southerner to the manner bprn can appreciate or imagine the tie that binds us to the traditions of the old South and all that brings to our fancy and imagination a type of the homes in that ideal long ago. The estate is stocked with the finest Guernsey cattle, and Rock Spring is one of the excellent dairies that fur nish Camden's milk supply. And in addition is perhaps one of the most productive and up-to-date plantations in the county. Reception For Teachers An enjoyable affair of the week was the reception Tuesday afternoon given by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church at the home of Mrs. A. S. Paine in honor of the teachers of the Catoden schools. Flowers of early fall were generously used throughout the attractive rooms. In the dining room at a table lovely in its appointment had as a center decoration a tall vase of pink and white cosmos and the silver services at each end were presided over by Mrs. K. E. Sill and Mrs. F. L. Zcmn. The color scheme of pink and whit<: was carried out in the dainty refresh ments of ice cream and cake. A surprise to their friends wa<s the marriage last Thursday after noon of Miss Kate McDowell of near Kershaw and Charles J. Sistare of Lancaster. The ceremony was per formed at Kershaw by the Rev.

After a short bridal trip Mr. and Mrs. Sixt-are ar rived in .Lancaster Saturday where they will make their home. ? I^ancas ter News.

It i>u?- privilege and pleasure to huv?- an afternoon ride over the 'on*1 time BolUhuw Dairy .Farm, soon to In subdivided and sold into lots for building purposes and small tract.s for truck farming. Wo were espec ially struck with the situation and wo believe that it is destined to be a pretty and popuiar suburb to Cam den, The increasing recognition of the value ?>f beauty in natural sur roundings is one of the encouraging evidences of the healthful develop ment of our American life. Many pleasing scenes from hill top and valley showed the possibilities of a pretty village and attractive homes within a mile of the be*t town in the South. The name appeals to our poetic fancy and thoughts of the beautiful cluster ground it. Rising from the fertile valley is the forest crowned hill to bo known as Pine Haven where the pines wave their evorlastnig green and the ground is studded with native growth; Autumn has set her illuminated autograph in the vivid scarlet of sumac and black gum, the delicate lemon of wild cherry, the intense erimson of the giant oaks, the orange glow of the hickory and the golden iglory of the maples. And through this riot of color could be seen the. restful blue waters of the Hermitage pond. Camden, that can boast of the monuments of the brave DeKalb, the gallant Dickerson and the knightly Southorn soldiers is to have another chapter added to its historic interest in White Gardens, as the six streets are to bo memorial ? honoring the chivalry and bravery of our World War heroes ? four to be for those who made the supreme sacrifice ? Richards, doLoache, Trotter, Belk, and two wbo honored Kershaw County by winning the Congressional Decoration ? Hilton and Villepigue. Yes, we' see the possibility of much beauty in this new suburb that can be made to blossom like the rose and afford ample space for the new homes that are sure to l>e established in and around Camden.

C\, Oct. i!0, "Not guilty" were the wordlt that fell tonight from the lips of the jury, when Bonnie Brook*,' charged with killing former Mayor Sam Rryson, was arraigned before the twelve men to bear their verdict.
