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."

Fortunate youth
The educational opportunities for the boys and gif Is of
the South are keeping pace with the leadership of the
South in the economic progress of the Nation. 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.
