X/dci?t}\ By MImi Louise Nettles The Msrtiiis Song. "Dear Heart, today, somewhere I heard a mating martin sing In his wild flight above my head upon a tireless wing, And with the note so new and sweet; so plaintive, strange and low, There seemed to flood within my soul love songs of long ago. He did not linger in his flight to rest, nor yet to sing, I only caught a fleeting glimpse of polished breast and wing, But with it came the fragrant fc&jjt of climbing roses red, And with it came the memory of summer days long dead. Sweet summer days and glorious nights when hearts 'beat fast and true; When down the primrose path of Life I wandered, Love, with you; But now the days of youth are dead? the path of Life is long; And only memories of all come with the martins song." Meeting of U. D. C. Chapter. The John D. Kennedy Chapter, U. I). C., held its May meeting with Mrs. Bratton deLoach. The Misses McDowall were assistant hostesses. The spacioufi old-fashioned parlor, 'brightened with a variety of roses, made an appropriate setting for an assemblage of' the Daughters of the Confederacy?the old home of General Joseph Brevard Kershaw?it is redo' lent with memories and traditions of the old South and the faroff days of - the Sixties. In this room a beautiful Confederate flag was unfurled and the staff accidentally broken. Was it an ill-omen, prophetic of the drooping flags at Appomatox? The chapter president, Mrs. N. R. Goodale, presided, and Mrs. F. Leslie Zemp was in her place as secretary. Plans for Memorial Day exercises and for the Veterans dinner on Monday, May 10th, were perfected. The dinner is to be in the Presbyterian Sunday School rooms and Mrs. W. J. Dunn has again kindly offered her home as a resting place for the Veterans. The proceeds from the last entertainment were satisfactory. The chapter decided to continue work during the summer as it is very necessary to have a full treasury by next December when the South Carolina State Division U. D. C. will meet in Camden. Several "ways and means" were decided upon. Among them an antebellum dance, a spelling bee, the making of~a^"dollar and telling how we made it, etc. After business a social hour was enjoyed, Miss Leila Shannon reading from "The Diary of a Confederate Girl," and the Misses Jumelle and Virginia Haile pleasing the chapter with two piano selections. The hostesses served cake and punch. Ocean cables, controlled by Gfeat Britain and America handle 90 per cent of the world's cable traffic.

Although few in numbers these students of Camden held their own among the best of the state bigh schools. Miss Jackson though not winning a medal proved to be the most accurate in typing of all the students? cnteredf" She averaged j thir.ty-five word a minute for a period of fifteen minutes with only seven errors charged against her. The others alsy did well, the Camden team ranking third in the state in accuracy, and standing well up among the best schools in the state though the commercial department of this school has been in operation only eight months. To Carolyn Wooten came one of the highest honors of the week. Some weeks ago a preliminary contest was held over the state with around five hundred high school students taking part. Of this number a few of the .best were selected to compete in .Columbia for the Latin cup and niedul, being offered this years for ,the first time. Miss Wooten was one of this number and, due to careful training under Miss Alberta Team and her own generous knowledge of the subject, she was awarded first place in the contest. Miss Plunkett, the efficient commercial teacher accompanied the typewriting team to Columbia and Miss J Team accompanied Miss Wooten. Mr. Richards also was in Columbia on the day of these contests.PERSONAL MENTION Mrs. Robert Marye is visiting in Charleston. ... Mrs. Eliza Brasington, of Columbia, is visiting in Camden.

Adickes, of North Boylan. Avenue, Miss Sallia Blackwell announced the engagement of her sister, Miss Mary Blackwell, of Camden, S. C., to Mr. Donald Morrisen of Chicago, Illinois. 1'loral decorations of sweet peas and Killarney roses carried out a color scheme of pink and white in the living room., library and dining room where the bridge tables were arranged, each place being marked by a miniature bride. Just before the serving of 'refreshments, which consisted of a salad and sweet course, the notes of the Lohengrin wfcdding march sounded and little Miss Nancy Frances Goodwin carrying May baskets, filled with sweet peas and roses, came down the stairs. She presented the ladies with corsages and the gentlemen with buttonieres. On each was a card announcing the coming marriage of Miss Blackwell and Mr. Morrison. The wedding will take place in South Carolina in the fall." Miss Blackwell has been an efficient teacher in the Camden High school for the past three years. She is a graduate of Winthrop College and a worthy representative of that institution. She also studied at Columbia University and has decided dramatic talent?a talent that was brought into play and won success as the directress of "Camden Yesterday and Today," the beautiful pageant of last year. Mr. Morrison is a native of Scotland but is now making his home in Chicago. He has spent several winters in Camden and won many friends by his genial personality. 9 E ? i? \ ~ Country Club For The Summer. AH work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." The Hospital Auxilliary believing this, have through the courtesy of the Kirkwood management, taken over the Camden Country Club for the summer, not only as a Hospital benefit but also to give our people pleasure and recreation during the long months when the stay-athomes are keen for diversion. The management will keep open house every Wednesday afternoon. Tables Will be arranged for bridge and tea and refreshments served for the small I charge of twenty-five cents each. On ! every first Wednesday club members will be allowed to invite non-club members for bridge or tea with the same fee of twenty-five cents charged for guests.
