Mfi. 1,1 belnS the assistant ull attendance is ex The Camden Library The meeting of the Camden Library association which was scheduled t?> meet at Mr. L. T. Mills office lust week did not come off. Only one member besidea the president, Mr. MilU and the secretary, Mr. L. A. Wittkowsky, was present. Just what is the reason that the people of Camden are not interested in one of the moat neceaaary institutions of our town? Let ua get together in this matter and see what the association can do about it. Since the death of our friend and librarian, Miss Nettles, the library has not been running. No one will ever fill her place there nor have the same life-long interest that she had but if we do not succeed in getting the association to meet there will be no librarian as it is an elective office. It is Understood that there will be a reorganization und election of officers. In next week's paper will be announced the name of the newly elected librarlon.. ? Let us stand by our library and work for its future success. Although the Camden library is a free library if it were not for the association that pays a small yearly fee, it would be difficult to meet the expenses of this institution. This fee is voluntary on the part of any one who cares to become a member and although one dollar is the sum agreed upon, any contribution on the part of members, over and above, can be made. There is a pay shelf where the latest fiction is placed and for the small amount- of ten cents, those who care to keep up with this line of reading are enabled to do so, otherwise the volumes are free to any townspeople and outsiders, pay for a season's ticket and enjoy the same privileges as do the people living here. Silver Tea at Exchange . The Silver Tea at the Exchange laBt Saturday proved quite a success although the day was cloudy and cold. The auxiliary made $41.00. The room was well arranged with its center table filled with flowers, silvpr and dainties and around were little tables for the convenience of the. guests'. " Pine- and jasmine decorations. Mrs. William Shannon poured tea** The -younger married women served the refreshments which were much enjoyed. The tea room from now on will be opened to the public every afternoon front 3:30 to 5:30. This tea room- is the first" that was established in Camden and has enjoyed quite a reputation since its opening several years ago. This, Friday, evening at the Exchange there will be a waffle supper from 6 to 8 p.m. given by the Young People's Service League of Grace Episcopal church. It is hoped that these young people will be successful as they are working for a worthy cause?the building of a parish house and Sunday school room on the-church lot. - Circles To Meet The general meeting of the Lyttleton Street Methodist Missionary society will be held at the church on next Tuesday at 4 p.m. P r ^/^^~Legion Elects Officers ' At their annual banquet held Wednesday evening at the Commercial Hotel Leroy Belk Post of the Amer[ lean Legion named Hughey Tindal as I commander, W.
