The Water#*; Mills Baptist Church, owned by the mill congregation and located in the mill village adjoining this city, was completely destroyed by lire of unknown origin at 11 o'clock .Sunday night. Volunteer firemen of i the mill were attainted by numbers of 1 the Camden fire department but their j ; combined efforts, were futile in ntemming the headway of the flames. | The church had recently undergone extensive repairs and its loss, partial- j j ly covered by insurance, is estimate*! , at *20,000. Rev. T. L. Willingbam is j pastor of the church and services for ' | the present will be held in the new ' community house on Kendall avenue, j The Crescent Lake Club, picturesque ' little tea shop, operated just beyond the city limits of Camden, was completely destroyed by fire at two o'clock Friday afternoon. The fire originated, it is said, in the attic from a defective flue. The loss to house and furnishings, which were only partially .covered by insurance, is expected -tea* -total ten j thousand dollars. The cluk-sb**-owned ! by T. K. Trotter, C. C. Whitaker, N. C. Arnett and R. E. Stevenson, all local business men, and had been leased for the season by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. ' Thomas. < Early last spring developers of Crescent I^ake also suffered heavily ' when the dam to their property blew out and suspended swimming and fishing there for several months. Firemen Friday night at twelve o'clock made a run in the business district of Camden where they found the market and grocery store of VV. ' T. Smith in flames. The blaze appeared seriously threatening for a while but prompt action on the part of the department confined the loss to around two hundred dollars. Wa- 1 ter damage to stock, which is partially covered by insurance, will constitute the greatest loss. Met With Mrs. Goodale. The John D. Kennedy Chapter, U. I). C. met with Mrs. N. R. Goodale Monday afternoon. About thirty members were present. After the 1 regular routine business was disposed ! of reports from the two recent conventions were given. Mrs. Leslie Zemp told about the general "convention in Charleston and the report of the state convention held in Rock Hill last week was given by Mrs. J. B. Cureton. John D. Kennedy Chapter, as usual, was 100 per cent, and it was also called as one of the honor roll chapters and one of the chapters in the state having the largest increase in membership. It was indeed a privilege to attend the general convention in Charleston, and see the enthusiasm of the delegates from all parts of the country. The next one will be held in Houston, , Texas, and the state convention'meets j in Columbia next December. ; Our chapter voted to buv a health j bond for $.\ and help with the sale of j the Christmas Seals. It waft also dej cided to sent! $10 to the veterans in I the Confederate Home in Columbia | for Christmas. Cards will also be sent to all veterans in the county at Ch; istmas. After the business meeting, all read Caiolina, by ( olcock. This is our i -^tate song and should be learned by i the members. We hope to have a j copy of the music by the next meeting. Tea and sandwiches were served by Mrs.* \\ . L. Goodale, Misses Kit DeLoache, Dorothy Zemp and Dotty Zemp. Mrs. Leslie Zemp and Mrs. O. M. ( oleman were the assistant hostesses. ^ Conies Once In A Lifetime The thrill that comes once in a life tune: A young man, actively identified with an extensive business (that requires brains, energy and hus| tie at all times, halts on the street in passing to impart to a friend the wonderfyl news: He is the father of a little boy, mother and child getting along nicelyi There is pride j eloquence and pathos admirably blended m his brief narrative of the greatest happening that has occurred in Ins wedded life. He may live to become the parent of other offspring but never again will he experience exactly the thrill as this first reaction to fatherhood. Some savants and psychological experts tell us that after man reaches maturity he never undergoes a single outstanding thrill, but they are wrong. It comes with the proud realization of parenthood. I he entire outlook on life change*, horizon broadens, the de?p,. human sympathy, so essential to the wellrounded man, asserts itself. It's great to be a parent, even though the responsibility is fearful at Si tinaes. May the pride, love and undying interest of this father be amply repaid by that son's record'of Iifes achievements.
