/dciet^x By M1m Louise Nwttlew Mooting of lfobkirk Hil) Chapter The Hobkirk Hill chapter D. A. R. held its May meeting with the Misses Ada and Helen Phelps. Miss Leila Shannon presided and the roll was called and last minutes read by the secretary, Mrs. S. C. Zemp. The feature of the afternoon was the very fyll and interesting report from the national conference held in Washington in April. This report was charmingly rendered by the chuptcr delegate, Mrs. John Stevens of Kershaw and included not only the business meetings but also the many delightful social functions accorded these representative women in the national capital. South Carolina, as usual, had a prominent place in the picture and our state regent's report was warmly applauded. It was with sincere regret that the chapter was forced to give up Miss Shannon as regent, but according to the ruling of the organization she was not eligible for re-election. A rising vote of thsnks was given for her very faithful and efficient services. During her regime the chapter has flourished like "a green bay tree." However there is compensation in all things and the chapter is, indeed fortunate in securing a worthy successor to Miss Shannon in Mrs. R. B. Pitts, who graciously accepted the regency. The following officers were chosen in addition to the regent: First*vice-regent, Miss Leila Shannon; Second vice-regent, Mrs. F. I. Proctor; recording secretary, Mrs. S. C. Zemp; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Hughey Tindal; treasurer, Mrs. W. S. Bdrnet; historian, Mrs. H. G. Marvin; chaplain,'Mrs. Edwin Muller. After business a social hour was enjoyed, the hostesses serving refreshments. Visitor Complimented On Thursday evening Mrs. C. P. DuBose was hostess at an enjoyable bridge party complimenting Mrs. Ernest Spong of Charlotte. Five tables were attractively arranged in a setting of May bloom. The guest list included the younger married set. Mrs. John M. Villepigue won the sco.re prize. After cards a buffet supper was enjoyed. v v Compliment to Mrs. Little Mrs. R. E. Stevenson entertained at a lovely bridge party Thursday morning in compliment to Mrs. Ray Little of Pennington, N. J. The rooms were tastily decorated with bright spring flowers. The score prize went to MLrs.- Frank Zemp, the consolation was cut by Mrs. Lewis Lawsou of Greenville, S. C., while the guest of honor was presented with a remembrance. After oards a tempting luncheon was served. Memorial Day In Camden "For we of the South remember, And we of the South revere; As the souls of the brave are garnered, We gather their glories here." Memorial Day dawned fair and smiling in Camden and found all plans, perfected for its celebration. The loyal Daughters of the Confederacy, whose duty it is to keep green th.e memory of the brave ,men who wore the gray, feeling that they should be cheered now when the snow that never melts has fallen on their heads, by the knowledge that all hold them in honor and point to their service as illustrative of the noblest knights of the race, had made ready for their coming. A sumptious dinner had been prepared for them at the Presbyterian Sunday School room. Mr. L. A. Wittkowsky was toast master. The Rev. J. P. Graham invoked the blessing and Mrs. N. R. Goodale, chapter president, extended a cordial welcome. Mayor C. P. DuBo.se welcomed them in behalf of the city. A quartet composed of Mrs. Edward Buddin, Miss Elizabeth Wallace, Mr. Hollis Cobb and Dr. Alva Humphries gave a number of the songs of the Old South during the dinner and the the afterdinner speeches by Judge Russell, Messrs. Watts and McKenzie were enjoyed. The toastmaster was then called on for a speech and also Miss Louise Nettles. Both answered the call of the veterans. The veterans, and the "Girls of the Sixties" were invited to the Majestic Theatre in the afternoon by courtesy of the manager, Mr. Williamson. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the regular Memorial services were held at the cemetery and were perhaps the most largely attended in recent years. The attendance of schpol children was very gratifying, thanks to Mr. Richards, and to the untiring efforts of Mrs. E. C. von tTresckow, chairman of that committee from the chapter. A double line stretched from the cemetery gates to the stand amid the pines?a picturesque spot overlooking the last resting place of the Confederate heroes. And through these lines "the thin line of gray" marched as the girls and boys cheered lustily. Mr. L. T. Mills was master of ceremonies, introducing all speakers and also delivering the Memorial coins won by high school pupils. Mrs. N. R. Goodale made an address of welcome and Miss Blackwell in a costume of the Sixties gave a reading?the - U. D. (J. prize poem for last year. The high school glee IcTulTin~white dresses and red sashes, sang the old Southern songs.. The address of the occasion was made by the Rev. J. T. Peeler of the Methodist church and abounded in history and literary gems. Mrs. N. R. Goodale offered a Memorial coin to the high school pupil for the beqt essay on the "Surrender of Lee," and/Misses Fay Kirkland and Molly Blackwell came so near a tie that it was decided to give each a coin. Miss Harriet Whitaker was honorably mentioned. Miss Louise Nettles offered a Memorial coin for the best essay on "The South in the Making of the Nation," and this .was won by Miss Ellen Stewart. All essays were considered good by the committee. Ours was not to decide the merit of difference between Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens, ours not to say whether General Johnston should! have marched on to Washington, nor | to decide upon jwhom should rest the blame for our misfortune at Gettysburg or at Shiloh. But the Daughters of the Confederacy shall garner the sheaves of menjory and having inwrought a ribbon of light that never .fails, shall continue to exploit and inculcate Southern ? ,principle of "statesmanship. We "glbry ift thff'past, take pride in the present, and with undimmed hope look to the future, believing that the world shall yet say, I "Behold the South, the mainstay of the' Nation!"

SMITH IN UBMAND. Camden Orator Make* Addresses in Several CUiea. 0 Former Judge Mendel L. Smith, of this city, in always in demand as a public speaker, and has been called upon frequently in the last week where he always please* his hearers. At Greenville last week he spoke before the Grand Council of Masons of South Carolina at a banquet in the Poinsett Hotel on "Tho Opportunity Responsibility of Organized Fraternities as a Constructive Agency in Our Modern Life", and won hlgn praise from the press as well as individuals. On Friday ho delivered a memorial address before the Veterans of Newberry County and the Newberry Herald and News says: "Judge Smith spoke for exactly thirty minutes, and his address will stand out as among the most splendid efforts ever heard in Newberry upon any occasion." I We quote from the Newberry Observer as follows: "The feature of the day was the inspiring and soulstirring speech by Hon. Mendel L. Smith of Camden. This fine gentleman and scholar, went right to the hearts of the Newberry audience with his firm oratorical voice. He spoko as a man knowing and loving his subject, and held the clofce attention of the large audience throughout his address. The audience was very quiet and everyone will long remember the splendid address." He also delivered the memorial address at historic Edgefield on Tues- , day and we quote press dispatches as follows: "The speaker of the occasion, Judge Mendel 1^ Smith of Cam-* den, was introduced by James O.!' Sheppard. Judge Smith is recogniz- 1 ed as one of the foremost platform speakers of the state and his address i < easily sustains this reputation. His J tribute to the Confederate Veterans I and the women of the Confederacy was bea&tiful and touching. His address was interspersed with history hitherto unrecorded, making It one of the most valuable addresses of the kind ever delivered in Edgefield."

This is seen in the following facts: In the last twelve years more _ J&#B-$125,000,000has been spent for the construction of hew school buildings In the states of the Sooth served by the Southern. 4 ? '*>- ' ' In 1900 there were less than 73,060 school teachers in the states of the South served by the Southern, and the appropriation for education amounted to only 90 cents per person living in. these states. In 1922 the appropriation was $6.85 per person, and the number of trained teachers had increased to 139,309. Inl900only 64.8 per centof the children of school age in these states attended school, while the average for the nation as a whole wad 72.4 per cent. Bat in 1932* the latest year for which .complete figures are available, 814 percent ofHthe children in the states of the South served by the Sooth* em attended school, while the average for the nation as a whole was 81.2 per cent. The growth in the educational facilities of the Sooth, as well as the number of children that can take advantage of them, is one of the fortunate and direct results of t the prosperity that has come to the South. ^ :?-?* *.- *< The Southern Railway System ho* contributed to the prosperity of the South, as a tax'payer, as a large em- , ployer of men and womm?and hi the trcmsportatkmf* agency which carries Southern commerce to and from. ^ ?
