A Plea For Wild Flowers
We have been requested by Mrs.
j,; t. ' H. Shiseffer of Walterboro,
state chairman, Conservation Natural
Resources of Federated clubs of
South Carolina to write begging our
people to determine on a uniform
notice urging flower protection to be
placed along the highways to do
everything to make our people more
thoughtful for the protection of those
woodlands which are our common
garden.
The spring glory of our Carolina
forest is our priceless heritage?let
us not allow it to become a memory
only. Our woods are now bright
with the glory of spring?the Cherokee
rose, wild^azalea, dogwood, Judas
tree with its crimson blossoms, and
everywhere our own yellow jessamine
thrown as a mantle over the tree
tops with its golden bells shedding a
iii ver-toj^p-forgotten fragrance. How
we love to respond to the call of the
woods and revel in tjiis riot of colorful
charm and beauty! But if every
car stops to ruthlessly break and take
home these delicate forest blossoms
^W"Wfit8jgS"of l>??ity~wiU soon be
but a memory. One looks ahead with
undaunted courage when all will enjoy
without destroying the charming
efforts of nature,, when our boys can
name a bird without a gun and our
girls love the wild rose and leave it
on its vine; to the time when thelovely
pink and white arbutus will
again carpet the woods and the blue
wood-violets ibloom as in the days of
yore. This ca"n best be accomplished
by molding public sentiment and
passing laws that will give expression
to this sentiment and that will be
enforced. Our chairman very truthfully
says, "If properly protected the
loveliness of our Carolina forest will
render . our state the spring playground
of the nation during the
months of March, April and May."
No rugged Alps are ours forever
crowned with snow,
But in our fragrant forest the
April violets blow,
And leafy leagues of woodland, ere
May hath half out run,
Shall hide our boldest brooklets
from the searching of the Sun.
If we cannot resist the charm and
must bring them home lets take them
up by the roots and plant in our
parks and gardens and along qur
streets, thus joining the beauty of
the forest with the graces of town
life and allow these gifts of nature
to continue to live?cheering this and
future generations with their beauty
and fragrance. . ..

FOUR NURSES GRADUATE
Interesting Exercises Held for Young
I'ldien lit School Auditorium
The graduating exercises of the
Training School,for Nurses of the
Camden Hospital were held in the
school auditorium on Tuesday evening,
April 20. The exercises were
opened with an invocation by Dr.
Edwin Muller.
Mr. L, A. Wittkowsky m his usual
pleasing manner introduced the
various numbers on the ' program.
The speaker of the evening was Dr.
Julius Taylor of Columbia and his
theme was "The History of Grecian
Medicine," was the most interesting
of its kind ever heard by a Camden
audience. The subject as delivered by
Dr. Taylor showed a tremendous
amount of research and a most careful
study of this science that has been
in practice since the earliest of the
world's history. Dr. Taylor's address
was illustrated by stereoptician
slides.
Dr. J. W. Corbett, president of the
hospital, made a short statement in
regard to the financial upkeep of the
hospital and made it very plain that
the income barely meets the necessary
expenses. He then presented
diplomas to the four nurses who
looked charming in their sndwy white
uniforms and caps.
Delightful music was rendered by
Messrs. Clifton McKain, Hollis Cobb,
Dr. A. W. Humphries, Mrs. J. G.
Richards, Miss Catherine Wallace
and Mrs. Bl&keney Zemp with her
usual charm sang a lovely solo.
Miss Etta Rabbins, the superintendent,
presented the pins and tlie
Florence Nightingale oath was taken
by the graduates.
Immediately after the exercises a
delightful reception was hbld at the
hospital attended by the relatives
and friends of the nurses,
The ever-sparkling punch bowls
,were presided over by Misses Ethel
and Lillian Yatpsf Mrs. .Fr&nk M.
Zemp and Mrs. Frank W. Hoj?kia&.
The graduation presents were
lovely indeed. The hospital auxiliary
presented each of the nurses with an
appropriate gift and Mrs. N. R.
Goodale, president' of the auxiliary,
sent lovely bouquets of sweet; peas,
the class flower.
Meeting of Cemetery Association.
Elsewhere in this issue is a notice
of the meeting this afternoon at the
Presbyterian Sunday School rooms
of the cemetery association. We have
been*nsked to" CHtl?special attention
to this meeting and urge a full attendance.
This is an organization that
should claim our most earnest interest.
Sacred memories cluster around
it duty and sentiment call us to the
old Quaker cemetery where generations
of our forebears sleep beneath
their native sod. A lovely spot, now
crowned with all Spring's beauties,
verdant foliage, Cherokee roses, yellow
jasamine and fields of pure white
Jilies. Nature has not forgotten it
Can we forget it? Then attend the
meeting this afternoon and remember
the annual dues if you have not
already paid.
i ;
Legion and Auxiliary Joint Meeting.
On Wednesday evening members of
the American Legion Post No. 17 and
the American Legion Auxiliary had a
joint meeting at the Carolina Te?
room, near Camden,-?
The rooms were beautifully decorated
in the national colors, red, white
and blue, American flags being used
also in the artistic arrangement* uf
the decorations. Tw<? long taJbles,
seating around fifty guests were arranged
for the occasion. Poppies
formed a pretty center decoration
for each tables A delicious four
course dinner was served at eight
o'clock.
After dinner the Commander, Mr.
James DeLoache, Jr., called on several
of the past commanders to make
talks, which were enjoyed by all. Mrs.
R. E. Chewning, president of the
^Auxiliary, was then called upon to
^ell something of the work being done

GENERAL NEWS NOTES
David L. Marshall, recently convicted
in Philadelphia of second degree
murder in the killing of Anna
May Dietritch, and dismembering the
body in an effort to hide his crime,
was on Friday sentenced to serve ten
to twenty years in the Eastern penitentiary.
The judge in passing sentence,
said, that he was sorry that
the Ludlow act,-"an iniquitous piece
of legislation that should not exist,"
prevented the imposition of a sentence
"commensurate with the crime."
Adam Lenansky was arrested in
New York on Friday on a charge of
murder committed on February 14
when two persons were killed in a
Brooklyn hold-up. The detective got
a clew as to the identity of the arrested
man from finger prints on a
cigarette stub found . in a taxica/b in
which the robbers escaped after the
hold-up.
Beginning at 12 o'clock on April 22
there was a great celebration at
Oklahoma City, Okla., of the open^
ing of the 'Strip," on April 22, iWrflT
when 5,000 squa&e miles of the territory
were opened to homesteaders!"
The celebration was pulled off as
-nearly like the original rush as was
possible and was participated in by
thousands.

three sons, 11, 8, and 7 years of age,
