Ileal Treat In Store For j Camden Boy About forty Camden scouts will go into Camp next month for a two week's encampment at Murrell's Inlet, below Conway. The Central South Carolina council, Boy Scouts of America, with which the Camden organisation is affiliated, will pitch a tented camp on the banks of the Inlet to accomodate about two hundred Scouts. Columbia will furnish the largest number, "but delegations from Orangeburg, Bptesburg and one or two other units will swell the Columbia and Camden crowd. Camp opens Wednesday, June 12th, and closes June 26th. Kxpert leadership has been engaged to instruct and care for the boyB. West Jacocks, scout executive, will act as camp director, and has assembled a large staff of assistants, i so that each department of the cajnp 'life is headed by an expert. ; A resident physician, Dr. Willcox, will be available to the camp at all | times, in addition to the regular statf I of first aid men. James A. McCoy, i Veteran .mess officer, has assembled a very complete kitchen that will feed 250 men, and has the same cooks he has enployed for the past five years. 1 In developing" the cam# program much thought is given to the activi: ties, insuring the boys ample opportunity to have a good time. Besides the campfire programs, which have the one great appeal on the | camp, there will be all kinds of athletic and scouting games. Daily I boat trips will be made across the i Inlet and the day spent on the ocean ! front. Large fishing parties will be i organized and every scout given the j chance to demonstrate his ability to land the big ones. The hiking may be enjoyed, as huge trees, moss covered, induce the camper to hike for a long way in the cool shade. W. ! F. Nettles, Jr., local scoutmaster will assist in this department of the camp life. Rev. C. L. Norman, of the Wateree troop; Rev. C. 'W. Best, of Lugoff troop, will also go to the coast as camp leaders, as will John K. deLoach and others for shorter periods. A camp bank is operated that the "?bo^s "may ha-ire a place to deposit t their "change" and not run the risk of losing it at play. * The "trading post" is opened daily where chocolates and sweets may be purchased to the extent of the ten cents per day limit. 'Monroe Mayer, treasurer of the Columbia council, will again act as camp banker and keeper of the trading post. Every kid likes to make bows and arrows, or leather moccasins, or c^rve some article of wood, or shettT etc, and half a dozen experts will be. on hand to lend assistance in the cr&fts department. , For the benefit of those ambitious scouts who desire to advance in scoutcraft and .gain higher tank, a scoutcraft school under the -direction of several eagle scouts will, give daily instruction in all phases of the scout curriculum. The water front has been thoroughly organized. All swimming is done under American Red Cross regular tions and methods. Commissioned life guards are on cluty at all awittvr ming periods and s0out& swim onl^ at the prescribed periods adopted by. the camp? There is a beginners pit for the non-swimmers, where Mfcy, strut-lion is given and where tlyii, beginners may enjoy the water ijt* safety. The "pit" is a f encediifareA, with wire netting extending from theJ bottom to the top of high tid^ thu?' insuring an enclosure which can hp I guarded at all tlmee. "Walter- A; Rhame, is connected with this depart^ ment of the canip organization. **' The cost of the camp is only $12 for the two week's outing for- the Camden boys. This is below cost btft the deficit is made up from the Cam-^ den district scout fund. It was pointed out that this was about a9 cheap as the boy could be fed at home, to say nothing of the expert leadership engaged to help him have a .good time and a wonderftd .8Xr perience. > The local camping committee is made up of James DeLoache, chairman, Herman Baruch, J. B. Zemp, with R. B. Pitts, president and John K. deLoach, commissioner, ex-officio members. To Preach Here Sunday Rev. Phillip J.

J. B. CastOn, -the newly called' pastor of the Camden BapjMst church, epeaks in the -highest terras: of-the* new ' .minister. ; Its tribute to - him is as follows;- . v,. . i\ '.'The death, of; one -of- Bamberg's leading citizens -would not have caused .more. sadness than the news that the Rev. J. Barnwell Caston, pastor of the Bamberg Baptist church, has decided to accept the pastorate of the First Baptist church of Camden. Mr. Caston received a call to the Camden church on May 12. A delegation of Camden Buptists headed by Judge Mendel L. Smith, informed him of the call that afternoon. Mr. Caston promised the committee an answer on Monday of this week, when he met with the committee in Camden. He gave no indication of his reply before leaving Bamberg Monday. . "The Baptist pastor informed his congregation fully of his call, and earnestly sought their prayers in making his decision. The Camden church offers Mr. Caston no promotion in work, financial of otherwise, but it offers a field of labor in which Mr. Caston feels that he will be of greater service in the Lord's work. ' "Mr. Caston came to Bamberg a little more than three years ago from Lynchburg. He is a Th. G. graduate of Mercer university, and a graduate of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary. His education was broad-, ened by attending several other educational institutions throughout the -south. "Very few persons have intrenched themselves in the hearts of the people of the city as -Mr. Caston and bis family have. He has worked with the other pastors of the city in a beautiful spirit, of Christian cooperation, and he is held in no less love by the other denominations of the community. "Mr. Caston will offer his resignation to the local Baptists at once, and will ask that it be accepted immediately in order that he can begin his work in Camden on the first of July. It. is expected that a pulpit committee will be immediately named by the local church." Returns From Hot Springs Mr. and Mrs.- H. L. Schlosburg, who have been spending several weeks at Hot 'Springs, Arkansas, returned home Tuesday. The former went there for_treatment for a severe case or rheumatism, and his friends are pleased to learn that he has been greatly benefitted and is able to be on the streets again.

Wittkowsky, was requested to cull the attention of the friends of the library to the facta in connection with the financing of the library. When the present Library Association was organized, the City of 3amdcn interred into an agreement With the Carnegie Foundation to contribute annually five hundred dollars to help with the maintenance of the library. The overhead expenses of the library, salary of librarian, wages of janitor, fire insurance premiums, wood, coal etc., amount to about seven hundred fifty dollars a year. At least two hundred fifty dollars worth of new books tthould be purchased each year. Therefore, it can be seen that the minimum amount that the library can get along with n year would be onu thousand dollars Membership in the library is purely voluntarily. Heretofore, those who took an active interest in the j library have been contributing annually one dollar each as dues, but for the last two years u good many vA.t ,1(>t 1)U'(' these voluntary dues and the finances .of the library have w gotten in a condition where it is absolutely necessary that these dues be collected for the maintenance of the library. At the meeting Saturday a committee was appointed to make an active canvass for membership dues during the week beginning June 3rd. All those who are really interested in the library are earnestly requested to promptly pay their dues, so that the depleted treasury may be put in better shape.
