Columbia, April 28.—Solomon Blatt, of Barnwell, speaker of the house of representatives of South Carolina, was host at dinner last night at the Jefferson hotel to members of the house, attaches and newspaper men who cover house proceedings. The occasion, marked by the fine fellowship and numerous impromptu speeches, was greatly enjoyed by about 150 guests, and proved one of the most enjoyable social features of the present legislative session. After partaking of an appetizing menu, during which an orchestra played, Rep. Olin Sawyer, of George town, took the gavel as toastmaster, and, after a few appropriate remarks, introduced numerous house members who spoke briefly. J. E. Harley, president of the sen ate and a citizen of Barnwell, and Senator Edgar A. Brown, also of Barnwell, were among the guests outside of the house membership. Rep. Sawyer complimented Speaker Blatt on the success of the occasion and introduced Senator Edgar A. Brown, who spoke on "Legislative Comradeship.” Senator Brown was followed by other speakers, all of whom expressed thsir pleasure at be ing present. Many took occasion to express appreciation of Speaker Blatt’s fairness and impartislity, and to wish him continued success in his political fortunes. Humorous refer- **nres were made to “extra remunera tion” and the fine good humor pre vailed throughout the evening. After the speeches , Spanker Blatt waa surrounded by guests who thank Delay now might make you lose subscriptions. Since no candidate is limited to any particular field in which to work, another person might come right into your vicinity and gather in payments you easily could secure yourself. Start today. Do not lot anyone else come in and take subscription pay ments aw«y from you. Every sub scription means money to you. Every dollar counts. Every vote you have issued in your name makes sll the more certain that you will be a prize winner. The People Sentinel and the cam paign manager wiahes it strictly un derstood by all those who may enter as to the commissions. If you have been paid during the campaign $60 in commissions (or other amount) the sum is to be deducted from the $500, should you be awarded the first prize. Should it so happen you had been paid $60 in commissions during the campaign and be awarded the second prize of $250, then you would be given a check for $190 to make up the total prize of $250, as advertised. The commission is also deducted from all grand prizes. So delay no longer. The campaign is just starting. Get busy and secure that first subscription today. Your own payment, if you wish, will give you the 20 per cent, commission. This will give you a nice start. Then ask everybody you know for their subscription to The People-Sentinel. You can win. Do not overlook this fact. You can win. It is right up to you to try. People who know you will see your name on the list. If your name does •d him for hos poopiUlity and another worker, feeling certain you fratuUud him on the success of the will not ask them yourself. Make no oceM j 0|L mistake about this fact.

Since the opening of this camp, several hundred boys who were unable to get jobs have lived and worked here for periods of from a few days to 18 months.

Illiterates are taught in night classes the fundamen tals of education, such as reading, writing and arithmetic. Others, who had education from grammar grades to high school graduates are taught typing, carpentry, engineering, and many other trades. The enrollee constructs simple roads, builds bridges, constructs fire towers, plants trees and fights woods fires.
