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. Davis
of that place. The bride is a popular
and fascinating young woman and
the groom is a busness man and farm
er of sterling qualities. After a short
bridal trip Mr. and Mrs. Sixt-are ar
rived in .Lancaster Saturday where
they will make their home. ? I^ancas

Bright'* disease was named after
Sistare- McDowell
White Garden*
; * ?'* ??<!
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.
An $850,000 hotel for Florence is in
profpect. W. I? Barringer and his
associates have announced that they
have obtained options on property
and will soon be ready to start con
struction of a twelve-story hotel with
130 bedrooms.

him when he stood to receive the

the lips of the foreman, a shout of
rejoicing went up from the imme
diate members of the family, and an
outburst of handclapping was started.
Brooks personally thanked each juror

without an officer at his sido for the
first time in two months, Brooks was
besieged on all sides by friends who
congratulated him.
