7 By MU? LoqIm Netties 4 Loyalty to Home Town "I <lo not own a foot of land, but . ,,)] I see i* mine." ? Mine the paths jf sweet-smelling boxwood and old fashioned bed* of verbena? rmine the gfciit oaks, tall-waving pines and stalely magnolias ? mine the elimbing wistaria, cherokee roses and fragrant jasmine in this quaint old town of v-olor, perfume and old-time eharm. So can we truthfully say if we give loyal and unselfish service to our home town. We feel a personal in terest in the statoliest mansion on the hill-top und also in th lowliest cot ?age in the valley. Love of home wrings out all that is best in us and aiakes life worth living. It does iway with petty jealousies and makes .is rejoice in the prosperity of a neighbor and bid him bon-voyage on lis upward way, because his pros perity "dds to that of the old home own. It is dear alike to hope and memory. As we presS our cheek jgainst the rough bark of the pines ?hey whisper back an echo of our happy yesterdays ?nd in thought and fancy go down the trail that leads to hy-gone Hummers and friends of other Jays. It should be dear to us be ause it is the playground of our :hildhood, the pleasure scene of our. youth und the active field of our man hood and womanhood and because -we hope for it to be the asylum of our old age. We love our home town when we labor for it, the best efforts should be put forth for the success of its in stitutions, social, civic and religious ind when the bright tomorrow looms ipon the near horizon it should be /i sufficient reward for our toil. A distinctive object is the Indian :igure which for more than a century has stood sentinel upon pinnacles of Camden ? an ideal effigy of the Ca awba's chief ? King Haigler, who in he olden days was the town's patron -aint, could never record a period of veal or woe that did not touch a re sponsive chord in the hearts of the r.own\s loyal citizens for to them it is ionie and they share alike its joys md sorrows. Love of the home-town ?vil! exalt charactcr and make better ind more useful men and women. It vill establish a kinship with their hvt. people for whom they will be villing to make sacrifices, sink self n a spirit of loyal co-operation. The eaders of our institutions and or ganizations who forget self-oxaltation ?tnd put the cause they represent and ts interest first are the ones who win popularity and "make things nappen," and are the people who are really worth something to the town. Wordsworth says: "Give unto me made lowly wise, ? Tfyo spirit of self-sacrifice." - ) ?? PRIVATE SCHOOL Conducted by < MRS. W. J.
