lile was appointed to give a report j
to the newspapers and hei account u
aa follows:
"On January 12, 1927, at 4 p.m., at v
the offiee of Mr. L. T. Mills, thirteen f
members of the Library association i
met.
"The president, Mr. L. T. Mills, t
called the meeting to order and stated
the object of the meeting, the election ?
of a new librarian and the transact ion k
of any other business necessary to v
the re-ppeniug of the Camden Public j

and Mrs. N. K. Goodalc as a com- ?
mittee to draw up suitable resolutions c
on the death of the ever faithful c
tibial ian, Miss Louise Salmon*! i
Nettles.
"It was moved and carried that the c
list of applicants for position ol 2
librarian be read and a free discussion
of the needs and requirements of the
library be held and that balloting ,
should be by elimination, as there t
were eleven applicants, the two lowest j
to be dropped each time until three ,
weie left, and one of the three re- (
ceived a majority. ^
"Several ballots were cast and no j
majority. Finally Mrs. W. J. Dunn i
was declared elected und upon motion ,
balloting was resumed for the next j
two highest candidates until one was |
elected to serve in case Mrs. Dunn <
could not serve. Mrs. Leroy Wooten 1
received the highest number of votes. \
"Mrs. Dunn asked for a duy's time \
to decide, as circumstances were such ,
that it was doubtful if she could ae- ,
cept. This request was granted.
"The president then appointed as a <
room committee Mrs. E. C. von ,
Tresckow, Miss Leila Shannon and ,
Mr. M. H. Hey man to arrange for the
heating, ronovating, cleaning and ,
opening of the library as early as
possible. .

"Mrs. N. K. Goodale was nppointed I
a committee of one to write an account
of the meeting for the papers
and to solicit members to pay librarian
and all funds collected to be duly
accounted for and turned over to the
treasurer, Mr. L. A. Wittkowsky.
"The meeting adjourned until February,
when other committees will be

Resolut4ons on Death of Miss Nettles
The .Camden Public Library Association,
through a committee composed
of Mrs. N. R. Goodale, Miss
L. M. Shannon and Mr. L. A. Wittkowsky,
has issued resolutions upon
the recent passing of their former
librarian as follows:
"In the death of Miss Louise Salmond
Nettlos the Camden Public
Library and City of Camden have
sustained an irreparable loss. Byher
unfailing loyalty to the best interests
of the public and her faithfulness and
I intelligent co-operation she filled *
position peculiarly her own. In 1900, '
she became the conscientious librarian
of the then struggling nueleus of a
public library, and when the Carnegie
Library-was opened in 1916, was
elected its first and only librarian to
the day of her death. With a natural
gift of oratory, pnd a marvelous
memo?yf for the facts of history, combined
with an unusual talent for1
poetic expression she was ever ready
to respond to any call and lend any
assistance to all educational work.
"Therefore, be it resolved: First,
that the Camden Public Library deeply
deplores the passing of this valued
librarian. Second, that a page bo inscribed
to her memory in our minute
book, and a copy of these resolutions
be published in our city papers and a
copy be sent to her family."
Jewish Women's Organization
The Temple Sisterhood is the name
of the Jewish Women's organization.
The Camden Sisterhood was federated
last year when a convention was held
here. Their chief work that of
caring for the Temple and the things
thereof ^besides the cemetery. Through
them a great deal of charity work is
done, not so much locally as through
the organization at large which functions
throughout America.
Hospital Gets Gift of $199
As soon it was made public that,
in the cause of economy, the hospital
had decided to put an oil burner ill
the heating furnace, an anonymous
friend sends a check for $100 to help
pay for the same. Who Vnext?

Again we atnU|mmi the threshold I

The American Legion Auxiliary "
mssed a resolution ut the convention 8
it Chester last August that in sub- ?
itance is as follows: That an elementiry
school education be the birthright "
>f every child in South Carolina and N
,hat we of the American Legion Aux- ^
liary pledge our organisation to (
ivork for an effective compulsory j
school attendance law, carrying with
t provisions for its adequate enforcement.
In order that all the children
>f the state may be protected from
:he ignorance and carelessness of
:hose who are denying their children
the right and privilege of attendance
upon school. Statistics show that j
one-third of the children enrolled in
schools are absent from their desks 1
each day. This alone should make '
us be up and doing for the good of
our children. An adequate compulsory
school attendance law is now our
cry. All unit members are urged to *
act individually und try to help enact
this law.
All members are urged to attend
the meetings ami pay all dues
for we are working for several
trophies that have been offered this '
year. These trophies should be an in 1
centive to all auxiliary units and
members.
Perhaps this may mean much hard '
work, but if we would be great we
must continue to serve. Ix?t us then
be up and doing.
