PERSONAL MENTION
'Mrs. John Rhame and daughter,
Francis spent last yrtcV in Darling
ton with relatives.
Mr. John Gerald, pf Tampa, Fla.,
was a visitor at the home of. his
sister, Mr?. John Rhame, this week.
Mrs. Bessie Evans, of Los Angeles,
Cat,, is the guest of Dr. and Mrs.
S. F. Drasington.
? Mrs, W. N. Kerr, who has been
spending the summer in Blue Hill,
Maine, has returned to Camden.
Miss Evelyn Evans, of Cheraw, has
returned home after a visit to her
sister, Mrs. R. H. Hilton.
Misses Leila Shannon, Minnie Cly
burn and Wilbur McCallum are at
tending the D. A. R. convention being
held in Dillon this week.
Mr. Walter Lowery, of New York,
is on a visit to relatives in Camden.
Mr. I. L. Peyser, advance repre
sentative of the Nat Reiss Shows,
exhibiting at the Couuty Fair this
week, finished up work "here yes
terday and left for Bishopville where
the show will exhibit next week. MiV
Peyser is a. most pleasant gontleman
and sustained the show's reputation
as having only high-toned manage
ment employed. The show finishes
the road season at Bishopville next
week and Mr. Peyser will return to
his home in Chicago. He made many
friends during his stay here.
Martha Washington Formally Opens.
In striking contrast to the dreari
ness and down-pour of rain on Thurs
day evening, November 13th, was the
interior of The Martha Washington,
thut had on that day formally opened
its doors to what - proved to be an
appreciative public. All day long the
threshold had been1 crossed and re
crossed by a stream of visitors ?
more than two hundred called and
registered and all were served with
sandwiches and tea. Tea, the cup of
cheer and good fellowship. Strangely
enough humanity has so far met in
| tji.e- ten cup. -It is the only Asiatic
ceremonial .which commands univer
sal esteem. The afternoon tea is now
an important ' function in society and
The Martha Washington is the place
to get it and enjoy it with your
friends in its cosy and homelike set
ting of white and Colonial blue. The
delicate clatter of trays and saucers
and the soft rustle of feminine hos
pitality One is indeed charmed with
the surroundings.
In the main dining hall of The
Martha Washington thirty-four
guests can be comfortably seated and
n smaller room accommodates a
party of eight. All of this is back
of the fruit shop and delicatessen
where everything good to eat can be
purchased.
On Thursday evening a turkey din
ner was served to a hundred and fifty
guests and merriment was at high
tide from 6 to 10 p.m. Music was
furnished for an hour and a half by
Misses Loree and Cecile Truesdale,
and later in the evening by Messrs.
Jacobson and Moore.
The waitresses, Misses Catherine
DeLoache and Lucile Smith were at
tractive in their Colonial costumes.
This attractive tea shop and deli
catessen supplies a long felt want in
Camden and certainly bids fair to
become one of the town's assets as
it has already won popular favor by
the tempting menu, reasonable prices
and courteous service.
Camden Bulldogs Entertained
It was indeed a gracious and grace
ful act on the part of Mrs. Walter
Rush and* Ferris McDowell to open
the doors of The Martha Washington
last Friday evening to the Camden
Bulldogs, their coaches, members of
the high school faculty and their
manager. They were bidden to come
in and make merry and this injunction
they obeyed to the letter.
Music was furnished by Miss
Jumelle Haile and Messrs. Jacobson
and Moore. At the decorated and
well appointed table places were
esperialy marked for thirty-two
guests and serving were Misses Cath
erine DeLoache, Margaret DeLoache,
Sarah DePass and Elizabeth Mc
Dowell. The mascots, Jack Villepigue
and Jack Richards, had places at an
especially arranged table and this
was presided over by Miss Peggy
Hopkins and Miss Carolyn Wooten.
The coaches, Mr. John M. Ville
pigue and Mr. J. G. Richards. Jr.,
occupied honored places and other at
tendants besides members of the Bull
dog squad were Mr. W. A. Clarke, Jr.,
and Mr. M. A. Pittman of the high
school and the team's manager, Mr.
W. S. Lindsay.
Toasts were given and each one was
happily responded to and the sincere
wish of each guest was that The Mar
tha Washington might have a long
and successful career and that they,
the Bulldogs might have many happy
returns of the delightful evening.
The Bulldogs are a plucky band
and undaunted by their recent defeat
they are ready to rally to the stand
ard of the Ok! Gold and Black and
pledge anew their allegiance to it. |
THIS WEEK
By
Mr. Brisbane's editorials are pub
lished as expreNsioaM of opinions
of the world's highest- salaried
editor and The Ghroniele doep not
necesaarily endorse all of nil
views and conclusions.
James Hamilton Lewis, always
picturesque, but sometimes inacurate, J
Hays the Republican nomination fight
in 1928 will be between Secretary
Hoover and Vice-President Dawes.
He says the "two term tradition es-1
tablished by Washington will nolf
break down."
Mr. Lewis is just iOO per ceotj
wrong in two ways. There isn't any
question of a two term tradition.
Mr. Coolidge has been elected by
the people once and it is the election,
not the accident of a presidential
death, that counts. Unless we have
very bad times in America, between
now and 1928, and we shall not have
them, the nomination and election of
President Coolidge are as certain as
anything can be.
Moving pictures compress a great]
deal of work and effort into a short
period of "seeing." V
? Will Hays says the average eight
hour day of film work, actors, ac
tresses, director*, Working hard for
eight hours, produce three-quarters
of a minute of actual film display, .
In one big picture, soon to be re-j
leased, a sixty-five acre field was
covered with a "set" costing $300,000,
and it represented in all just six min
utes of moving picture entertainment.
This compressing of hard Ivork is
not new. Montesquieu devoted more
than twenty years of intense research
and study to the production of his
two sq&all volumes, "The Spirit of
Laws."
Darwin, over a period of thirty
years, gathered, information about
earthworms, and their contribution to
the earth's fertility, that you may
read in a few moments.
Fortunately, and most important,
moving pictures when the best use is
made of them will compress educa
as they now compress action.
It will be literally possible through
moving pictures to teach a child in
three-quarters of an hour, and to
teach well, thoroughly and perma
nently, more than the child can learn
under proper methods in a dozen
school days of eight hours, spent in
doors at a time when the child ought
tion, as they now compress action. -
In politics wc used to fight about
slavery, then about tariff and the full
dinner pail. Those issue* are worn
out, and, as Mr. Robert Barry says,
political fights now are centered on
alcohol and religion. Those issues
will pass away, but men always will
have something to divide them.
The Reverend Selden T. Delany
says faith helps disease, as it un
doubtedly does, and gives a scientific
explanation. Faith inspires beneficial
emotions; they cause in the body
"chemical changes that banish
disease." -
The Reverend Francis J. Hall con
nects suffering with the will of God,
and says sickness is sometimes good
?for you. When people are well, they
lack useful warning* that sickness
gives. Science and religion are draw
ing together.
Conductors and trainmen in the
West want more money an increase
of $25,000,000 a year. To say it will
horrify the conservative mind, yet if
the increase in pay be granted con
servatives and everybody else will be
better off. All that the big man can
possibly get is what the little man
has to: spend.
Let him who thinks low wages
mean prosperity for the big man
start something in China. He will
find mef^ and women to work for a
few cents a day, but he won't build
'any great fortune. Good wages are
to a nation's prosperity, from top to
bottom, what irrigation is to the
nation's crops.
After years of talk and careful
handling of articles from Tut-ankh
amen's tomb, the third sarcophagus,
with its layers of gold and wings of
goddesses, is reached, with pictures of
the god Osiris, the vulture goddess,
Nezhebet, and the serpent' goddess,
Butu, painted on the outside. Soon
the face of the young Pharoah, dried
and shrunken through thousands of
years of waiting, will be looked upon
by men of this day.
All those gods and goddesses could
not save him from that. Bat perhaps
they helped him to the Egyptian

To Kill Knuajrcinrnt iji Sister City of
Sumter. l>ecen?ber 2nd
"No chain v U stronger thau the
weakest link" may apply very well
to chains, but applying the principal,
in reverse, to a musical organisation,
it may be well &aid that no band can
attain great success without outstand
ing artists as soloists, It was a real
ization of the truth ?( this principle
whith guided Lieut, Charles Benter,
leader of the United States Navy
Band, in building up his organization.
In Washington, home of the Navy
Band, and where the public is accus
tomed to the best procurable in music
and the arts, the Navy Band has at
tained an enviable position. Known
to all classes of the cosmopolitan
population, this organization has had
an almost miraculous rise to favor in
a short period. Its public concerts
have been largely attended and its
st oSficiM) functions and
at tho White House have aroused the
admiration and appreciation of music
lovers from other nations. That dis
criminating people who know music
have placed the Navy Band on a
pedestal argues that it will remain
there. \
Many reasons have been advanced
for the popularity of the Navy Band
v? the indefatigable efforts of iU
leader, Lieut. Charles Benter; the dis
crimination with which its members
are chosen ami the esprit de corps
which dominates the organisation.
W. ht Radcliffe, head of the Rad
cliffe enterprises, who is managing
the tour of this band which will
bring it to Sumter December 2nd, be
lieves that a large part of the success
gained is due to the excellence of the
soloists. |
"Lieut. Benter has exercised un
usual care in the selection of his
soloists," says Mr. Radcliffe, "and

the wisdom of this is apparent when*
ever the band plays those complicated
compositions where the art of expres
sion falls at critical9 moments upon
one or more instruments. Lieut.'
Benter has been extraordinarily suc
cessful in getting men who are mas
ters of their instruments and unusual
