Simms Sponsor. Plans are being made for a Social Register for South Carolina which will include the names of the women of the state who are and have been prominent socially and actively en gaged in upbuilding it educationally and religiously. Some of the most prominent women of the state are sponsoring the work; The sponsors froro-Columhia a»e Mrs. Sara RichardsoHr-Mrs. Clark Waring, Miss Alice M. Earle and Mrs. YV. B.Burney. YYT H. Griffin of Columbia is editor and Mrs-. Florence E. Hunter is social editor. Other women of the state who are sponsoring the movement are: Barnwell, Mrs. Charles Carroll Simms; Charleston, Mrs. J. P. K. Bryan, Mrs. R. G. Rhett, Mrs. Fleniy YYT F'rost and Mrs. W. P. ^arrington; Greenville, Mrs. J. Wilkinson Jervey; Orangeburg. Mrs. A. C. Ligon; Ches ter, Mrs. T. L. Eberhardt; Camden, Mrs. H. G. Garrison; Aiken, Mrs. Hastings Wyman; Georgetown, Mrs. John L. Pratt and Mrs. John LaBruce. Practically all of tljf original states of the American union have a Social Register. South. Carolina is one of thew, original states that does not have a register, and knowing that it abounds in aristocracy,-imperisha ble history and incidents that should be immortalized for the benefit of future generations a Social Register is being compiled that is superior to any from Virginia, New York, North Carolina and other states whose Reg isters have been examined. The “South Carolina Social Regis ter” is to contain the names of the representative women ot the state— women who represent the old days, and women who represent the modern days in that they are engaged in the upbuilding of a greater and bet ter South Carolina. All applications for registration will he passed upon by a special com mittee before publication of the Reg- istaer, in order to secure a restricted membership. The above named spon sors are not responsible for the ac ceptance or rejection of any name. CO-OPS HOLD IMPORTANT * *' • , MEETING AT BARNWELL Dr. W. C.
