"Old Ironsides" Afloat Again
Boston, Mass., March 15.?Resurrected
like tihe phenix of old, the 132year-old
frigate (Constitution, throe
years ago a pathetic, decaying hulk,
tonight rode the sea again, her sleek
b!ack hull staunch and true. M-uch of
her refitting is still to be done. Many
a day will pass before her towering
masts raise their heads against the
sky, and many another day before
her gleaming sails billow in the salty
breeze. But one fact stands out?
"Old Ironsides" is afloat again. The
,ceremony of refloating her after
three years of rebuilding was the
simplest. At the head of the great
concrete box that forms the dry dock
stood Lieut. John A. Ix>rd, grizzled
master builder of such steel giants
as the superdreadnaughts New York
and Arizona to whose craftsmanship
the renewed Constitution is a monument.
With him were Hear Admiral
Philip Andrews and Capt. C. M. Simmers
of the naval department of construction.
The excited forms of
children comprised the greater part
of the crowd of 2,000 about the drydock?and
properly so, for they represented
young America, which had
poured so many millions of its pennies
into the $400,000 already spent
in renewing the veteran warship.
Threat Against Wounded Officer
Columbia, March. 18.?Fear that r
gang would carry out its threat to
"come and get him" today caused
the removal of C. L. Hartley, Swansea
policeman, from a local hospital
to the state penitentiary for safe
keeping* The officer was wounded
in a gun battle early Sunday by
"Pink" Mitchell, alleged Columbia
liquor dealer, whom he later fatally
shot.
Annonymous telephone calls to the
hospital where the wounded office,
a bullet wound 'in his neck and two
fingers mangled,' was being treated,
groused fear among members of the
staff as to his safety.
Governor Richards ordered the penitentiary
to admit Hartley and treat
him there. The wounded man was
taken to the prison under guard. He
was reported as resting well later in
the day.
looses Barn by Fire
Chesiter, S. C., March 16.?Duncan
Ferguson, of Fort Lawn, eastern
Chester county, sustained a heavy
fire loss when his big feed and stock
barn near Fort Lawn burned. Five
mules and a cow that were in the
barn burned to death, along with the
feed. The loss is said to have been
a heavy one in which he carried
$1,050 insurance. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

Business Woman's
, Club Organized
On Tuesday night, March lKth, at
the Palmetto Tea Room, a group of
women met and formed a (Camden
unit of Business and Professional
Women's Clubs. The meeting began
with a delightful supper Dutoh-treat
style and following this, with Mrs. I
Kathleen Watts as temporary chairman,
the question as to the expediency
and desirability of such a club
was thoroughly discussed. Then a
motion that- it be organized was made
by Miss Alma Burgess with a second
by Miss Ida Kibble, and was unanimously
voted for by all those pres*
cut. Election of officers was then
in order and was carried out as follows:
President, Mrs. Martha Rush;
vice-preeident, Mrs. W. J. Dunn;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. Kuth-!
Icon Watts; recording secretary, Mrs.
Cleo M. Buddin; treasurer, Mrs. Sara
Rabin, r j
The question of Federation came
up and was settled in the affirmative,
so that the Club will join the
National Federation in July. It was
decided that the next meeting would
be h social one with the members
privileged to invite guests and the
president, Mrs. Rush, appointed Mrs.
Carrie Wooten and 'Mrs. Dunn to arrange
for a social program for tho
meeting. Mrs. W. K. Jackson and
Miss Loulie Whitnker were asked to
stive as a publicity committee, all
other committees to he named at tho
next meeting.
Mrs. Rush told" of having attended
the social meeting of the Columbia
club which was entertained last
Thursday night at the home of Doctor
and Mrs. Robert Gibbes of that
city. Mrs. Rush also spoke earnestly
of the necessity of interesting other
business women of Camden in this
enterprise, stressing the get-together-ness
of such an organization. Her
main effort is to bring the business
v< men of our town to a common
ground of understanding, fellowship
and mutual helpfulness.
Mrs. Rush brought back from Columbia
a number of copies of the
club's official magazine, "The Independent
Woman," which, if carefully
read, will enlighten any woman on
j any phase of the workings of the
club both local and of the Federation.
These magazines were distributed
among those present and will be
gladly passed on to any business wo
man of Camden wIuj has. an. interest,
in .such a club. It makes good reading
for any woman, whether business
or home, and will be willingly lent.
The next meeting will 1h> held at
the Palmetto Tea Room on Monday
night, March 31.
Tea at "Little Hedges"

the Camden Hospital. These will be

will avail themselves of it.
Society women of Liverpool, have
declared themselves as favoring the

Dress Society" in opposition to '

CASH IN I
On your idea*. Not only in money, but in friends. !
Do a little constructive thinking and watch the sue- j j
cess of your efforts. Don't criticize unless you have !
a solution to the problem. Think your way through i j
the difficulties and perplexities of life; be courageous, j
be strong, look up and think big thoughts. Don't i-j
worry about the trifles. Dwell on the things that j
! will do the most good ami pay the greatest profits. j
Try to make friends by thinking thoughts that are j
noble and inspiring. Thinkers have the respect and j
confidence of the entire community. They are the | j
forceful ones. There are millions of followers, but .;
those who can take the initiative and carry on are I
few and far between. Try to be one of the'few. j
The Shop With Ideas I
] Just a plain matter of fact of the manner in *
which we conduct our business. Knowing the needs j
j of our customers. (Jetting merchandise that express j
j individuality, bringing out the best that is in them. |
The woman's wearing apparel business is a fascinat- j
Iing one. It gives us a chance to study human na- ;
ture and to serve efficiently those who patronise us. j
Our ideas along these lines are moat valuable to 1
those who demand style and service. The fabrics from !
whicih you make your selection are the very best and !
. worthy of your careful consideration. Oh, yes, the I
! prices, as usual, always the lowest. A call will con- 1 ,
vince you. ! !
