\/ociety\ (By MiW Mwl#? Nettles) ? ? i ' ? I _ Moat-Unique Feature A most Imique feature of the U. D. C. convention recently held In Camden was the round table di*. cu8?i?>? of the Star Service of the \). 1). C, The idea originated with VV. H. Timmons, director of the jtfdge District of the division, and the beautiful five-pointed star,which" . graced the rostrum of the convention hall at the Hobkirk Inn from t^e beginning of the conventipn until the close, forming a most attractive and effective background for the decora tion* of red and whitt, and from whose points brightly shined five electric lights, was constructed by Mrs. McKall of Newberry. The lights were turned on by, Mrs. Fred Culvern of Kershaw. This wonderfully informing discussion was lead by Miss Bertie Smith, ~ of Greer, president of the Hamptons Lee chapter, aijd a former state vicepresident. Mrs. R, D. Wright of Newberry discussed "Memorials." Mrs. M. C. Milling of Greenwood, director of the Piedmont district, had for her subject, "Education"; Mrs. W. H. Timmons discussed "Benevolence"; Mrs. Alice S. Beard of Columbia, second vice-president, discussed "Historical" and Miss Smith discussed the last object or the fifth point of - the star, "Social*5" All of the ladies who took part in the discussion and the following others sang together a catchy little song: "Keep on Hopin'", the words bring composed by Mif^s Smith and the music by Miss Maxwell;. Mrs. J. Frost Walker, Miss Baker, Mrs. Jensen, Mrs. Schofield, Mrs. Cason, Mrs. Meredith and Mrs. Flowers. The entire convention assembled joined in singing the last verse. It. has been suggested that this same feature be used in the program of .the general convention, which will be held next year in Charleston. The accompanied was Mrs. S. C. Zemp and the following are the words of the song; Keep on smilin' as you go along, Keep on smilin* when the world goes wrong, Keep on smilin'?sing a cheerful song, And you'll get there in the mornin*. Keep on strivin' in the heat and cold, Keep on strivin' when the officials scold, _ Keep on strivin' for th6 honor roll, And you'll get there in the mornin'. Keep on boostin' all the U. D. C. Keep on boostin' all the C. of C. ? Boost your cause~-learn true history, And you'll get there, and you'll get there in the mornin'. Missionary Circle to Meet Circle No. 3 of tlpe Baptist Missionary society will meet with Mrs. Jackson on Fair street Tuesday, DeLgiember 14. _ _ MBBTINO OP U, D. C. Pleaaant Gathering at Home of Mra. H. G. Garrison, Sr. The delight of a balmy Southern afternoon was equally matched by the' typical. Southern hospitality of Mr*. H. G. Garrison, Sr., when assisted by her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Mayfield, ?he so pleasantly entertained the John D. Kennedy chapter U. D. C. on .Monday, December 6. 1 he meeting was called to order by the president, Mrs. N. It. Goodule, and was opened with grayer. A motion by Mrs. E. E. Sill to dlsr pensu with roll call at monthly meet-', ings, making it quarterly instead was voted upon favorably. There were twenty present, including two visitors, Mrs. 1. W. Sparftjw of Martinsburg, W. Va., and Mrs. A. A. West, of Camden. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. A report was made by the treasuier showing a small balance on hund, expenses incidental to the state convention recently held here, being paid. ^ The president announced that a floral tribute was sent to the funeral of Mr. Keul>en Hinson, a brave Confederate veteran. It was then decided to ; remember each of Kershaw county's surviving veterans with a Christmas card and to send each at the Confederate home in Columbia five dollars. The reports made by Mrs. Sill an J Mrs. von Tresckow of the slate converftion gave evidence of great success and much enthusiasm manifested, and similar expressions have been forthcoming from delegates of various chapters in the state. A vote of thanks was extended to each of the following for their invaluable assistance in entertaining the delegates: Mrs. N. It. Goodale, president; the Camden and Kershaw County Chamber ef Commerce, the mayor and city council, D. A.v R. chapter, Mr.c Marvin, Mrs. Louise Proctor, Rev. J. P. Graham and Prof. J. G. Richards, Jr. Next in order was an expression of appreciation for the splendid cooperation on the part of the various committees appointed by the president. Noticeable was the absence of one of our most highly esteemed members, Miss Louise Nettles, on account of illness. The secretary was instructed to write her a note of regret and sympathy, expressing hope for a speedy recovery. The absence of another lovable member, Mrs. John Gettys, was deplored, she being prevented on account of the illness of her husband. A note of sympathy will be forwarded to her also. J A very attractive historical program was carried out during which a most interesting letter dated May 22, 1863, was read by the president. Thi,s letter was donated to the- chapter by Mrs. Belton Boykin and will be deposited in the archives as a treasured relic: " Several delightful numbers among Which were, "Minuet of Long Ago," "Hunting Song," and "Minuet Waltz" were rendered by Mrs. J. W. Smith at the piano.

Love home, on his property on the old Lancaster road a few miles north of Ca'mden, workmen employed by Dr. W. R. Clyburn found a partial copy of an old paper published in Camden of date August 4, 1841. The name of the paper and its editor had been torn away. It contained many things of interest in the long ago. A legal advertisement was published showing that ~Q. Me Intosh was the clerk of court for this county at that time, and the printers' fee for same was published at the foot of the ad, showing that the same prices, prevailed then as now. The subscription price was $3 per year. The paper shows that John Peter Richardson was governor of the state at that time. It was conspicuous with military orders of the day directing drills and parades throughout the state. One order was from J. W. Doby, lieutenant commander-, and W. B. Johnston, sergeant, directing the DeKalb Rifle Guards to attend the shooting match at Rice Creek Springs. * An advertisement signed by C. J. Shannon wanted to sell "twd valuable negro men, one a first patroon and jobbing carpenter, about 35 "years of age* the other a field hand 25 year* old,"both likely and of good character, to be sold at a reduced price ~"fdF cagh." The old paper shows that lynching was in order in those days as well as now and that people were no respector of j>ersong, ^whether white or black, when their anger had been aroused and heihous crime had been committed. We copy the following from this old paper: "The facts that a drover of Kentucky, named Utterback, had been jr~. 's.- ... nearly murdered and robbed, and thXt two men named Maythe and Couch had been arrested on suspicion* of" being- the perpetrators of the outrage, were published in our paper of Uu& week, and we now learn that both the accused have already fallen victims of popular wrath, by execution, with-* ! out trial or even indictment, and i while their victim wits still alive, and | the possibility of his recovery existFar At the time of the execution, the prisoners had .been in confinement in the jail in Williamstown, Grant county, Kentucky, on the above charge. Mr. Utterback has been lingering in a miserable state?Ms throat ?. having been shockingly mangled at a tavern some three or four miles beyond Williajnstown, on a much traveled road, and an object of commisseration with every passerby.
