The Isle bf Lofty Ago.
* .
Oh, " wonderful ttreftin i? the River
of Time,
Ah it flows through the realm of
tears, I
'With a faultless rhythm and a mus
ical rhyme,
And a broad'nlng sweep and a surge
sublime
As it blends with the Ocean of
Years.
How the winter* are. drifting like
flakes of snow,
With the summers like binds be.
tween;
And the years in their ?heaves?--h9w
they come and they go
On the river's breast with its ebb and
its flow,
A* it glides in the shadows and
sheen!
There's a magical isle up the River
of Time, ?
Where the softest of airs are play
ing;
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical
clime,
There's a song as sweet as a vesper
chime ?
Arid the posies with the roses are
straying.
And the name of the isle is the Long
Ago,
And we bury our treasures there:
There are brows of >eauty and
bosoms of snow;
There are heaps of dost ? oh we loved
them so! f
There are trinkets and tresses of
haft:.
There are hands that are waved when
the fair shore
By the mirage is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear through t^e
turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days
gone before^
When the wind down the river? is
fair. . "

Mrs. H. T. Goodale, on Friday after
noon, January 1, at 4 o'clock. After
finishing thp mission study period, a
New Year's, contest was entered into
which wa^ thoroughly enjoyed by

were written. The circle then pre
sented its chairman, Mrs. Webster,

. Appeal for Cemetery Asaociation
At a recent meeting of the execu
tive eommittiee bf the Cemetery Asso
ciation it was decided that an^arnest
appeal be made for a }arger member
ship to ttte association, k Each family
owning a- lot at the cemetery should
have at least one representative in
this organization,, as it is only by the
membership dues of $1.00 per year,
sale of lots, and a small appropria
tion from city council, that funds are
raised to pay a peeper. No lots were
eold during the past year, and funds
were so low that the keeper had to
be dismissed ? no money being in the
treasury to pay his wages. It is very
important to have a keeper in order
to prevent^ihe depredations of cattle
allowed to roam at large, as well as
to have him to keep the grounds in
order.
Surely the good people of Camden
will come to the aid of the association
and by a large increase help to keep
in order the grounds of this "City of
our Dead," a spot so dear to our
hearts.
j Many of the present members are
' persons who reside elsewhere, but
have their loved ones sleeping in this
beautiful old (Juaker C^emetery.
There should be many more of our
citizens to help thits good cause by
becoming members of the association,
*and paying the small annual dues of
one dollar. It is hoped that many
will heed this earnest plea, and send
iri| their names and yearly dues to
any member of the Cemetery Asso
ciation. '
Mr. H. 0. Carrion, Sr., has re
turned from Jacksonville, Fin., where
he and Mrs. Carrison spent the holi
days. Mrs. Carrison remained for a
longer visit.
Stone Mountain
It is most important that we "keep
bo fore the people Stone Mountain and
the Confederate Memorial coins an
the time in now drawing near when
they will no linger be #n sale for one

gret to us that we were unable to
accept Governor Mcl^eod's gracious
and urgent invitation to attend the
meeting and luncheon at the capitol
in Columbia last Monday in* interest
of this sale. Circumstances forced us
to decline but we trust thai Camden
and Kershaw county was represented
as the call comes very close to us in
asmuch as our gallant Joseph Brevard
Kershaw is to be an outstanding^
figure on the monument. We must

Quick Way to Stop
Night Coughing
New Method Is'
Remarkably Effective
No need to put up with that distress
ing, weakening, sleep-robbing night
cough another night. For there is u
simple but very effective treatment
> which, usually with a single dose, stops
all irritation and lets you sleep soundly
the whole night through.
This treatment is based on the pre* ?
script ion known &s Dr. King's New
Discovery for Coughs. You take just
one teaspoonful at night before retir
ing and hold It in your throat f or JU> or
20 seconds before swallowing it. The
prescription has a double action. It not
only soothes and heals soreness and
irritation, but;t quickly removes the
phlegm and congestion yhich are the
direct cause of night coughing. So the
coughing stops quickly and you sleep
all night undisturbed.
Dr. King's New. Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, 46re throat, hoarse ?
ness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc.
Fine for children as well as grown
ups ? no harmful drugs. Economical,
too, as the dose is only one teaspoon*

not Alone for sentiment and for our
goodly heritage in this favored land,
should we feel impelled to act, but wo
should rejoice that
"Passion has ceased to reign. The
tranquil days of even puTse-beafca
have arrived at last; when mea. and
measures can be calmly weighed, in
scales unshaken."
The United States government
minted the coins to honor the memory
of the Confederate heroes. Can we
of the South do loss than buy them?
