Appeal For Re-Planting Trees At a recent meeting of the Civic League it was decided to replace as far us possible the trees which were lost in the public parks and on the streets of Camden, during the ??torm of September ISth. This replanting will be quite ex-b tensive. More than three hundred i trees were lost and of them one hun- ' ired eighty-eight were fine old pines, mostly in our parks. The expense of replanting, together with the neces- : sary care during at least the first summer, will bo consider*ble. 1 Any contribution to the Civic League toward this purpose will be greatly appreciated and may be sent to Miss Olive W. Whittredge, Kirkwood Lane. Camden, S. C. Commrttee on raising funds: Miss Olive W. Whittredge, Chairman;JMrs. C. P. DuBose, Mrs. W. J. Mayfleld. Mrs. Dalton Kennedy.
