A Avru * T? W GREENWOOD TO FURNISH NOISE FOR SHRINE ' CEREMONIAL HERE (Greenville NewsT) For some time there has been beard in Greenville a rumbling soundj something akin to that of distant thunder, except that it was more regular. It has caused much more speculation and created far more interest than did the recent . eclipse of the moon. Invariably this sound has emananted from a south eastern direction and various pre dictions have gone the rounds con cerning its origin. Some have thought it an approaching thunder storm, even when clear skies belied their the9ry; some Tiave predicted that it must be a cyclone or tornado sweeping over the country south of f?rppnville. while ohers have declar ed it could only be the rumble of North Carolina's 'volcano' that they bad been reading about All were wrong. Bow vain is man, and how tragic the fallacy of his feeble mind! It has been found that the "rumble" t originated in Greenwood and that it was nothing more nor less than flejaz Shrine I>rum Corps practicing f or the Spring Ceremonial to be held in Greenville on Thursday, May 26. Yes, Hejaz Temple has one of "them things" too, although very few of the Temple's membership know it. However, those present on May 26th will have an opportunity to get acquainted with, and know, this notorious bunch. They won't be hard to find?just hunt up thej noise! The Temple's Chief Rabban, I Noble D. A. G. Outzs of Greenwood says, "This Hejaz Drum -Corps is the noisiest and wildest bunch I've ever seen or heard, but we should worry; they are always in a position to beat it."?and he ought to know. Leave it to Greenwood Bound that Greenwood woulfl be the town to furnish so important a| part of he Temple's organization as the "Noise." But even 'noise" that is of Greenwood's production is al ways well ordered and meaning, the kind that "sets the pace' as will be demonstrated to Greenville and her visitors. during the Shrine Ceremon ial. The drum corps is' hard at work, "beating and blowing" itself into fit shape, as any good Greenwood citi zen will testify. Noble C. B. Barks dale is president, and Noble Roy C. Simpson is secretary, and the won derous showing which this branch of the Temple will make at the Cere manial will be largely the result of LliCll CUUi The Drum Major In addition to the above mention ed officers they have a regular drum / major in Wm. A. Huey. Now. "Bill" is good?they admit to. He openly boasts, himself, that he can wrap his baton around the flag-pole on Greenville's 17 story Woodside building and then catch it on his finger tip! If you don' believe he does all that hard stuff just watch him in that big thinners parade. At a recent rehearsal of the drum corps the secretary said to the presi dent: "Say' Bruce, I'm just crazy about cod-fish balls; do you think they are all right?" "Can't say," anwered Bruce, "I have never attended one." Too Good to Keep An amusing incident in which the secretary of the drum corps, Noble j Roy Simpson, recently figured hasj just come to light. A short time ago he was in Greenville from which place he expected to go to Atlanta, on a night train. He went to the Sou thern depot to see about Pullman rsservaions and found Noble W. Hunter Shanon on duty. "Hi, Noble,' said Roy, "let me have sleeping car accommodation on tfhe train to At lanta." "For a single passenger?" "No," Roy replied, "I'm married, but I'm not taking anybody with me. A single shelf will answer." "Upper or lower?" asked Noble Shannon. "You understand of course the lower is higher than the npper. The higher price is for the lower berth. If you want it lower you'll ave to go higher. We sell the upper lower than the lower. In oth er words the higher the lower." "Then why do they all prefer the lower?" Noble Simpson inquired. "On account of its conveniences," Hunter replied. "Most persons don't like the upper, although its lower, on account of it being higher, and because when you occupy an unper ^ you have to go to bed ana* then get -f Do you know gu can roll GENUINE "RlllfrillDHAM I/Wkb will inn TOBACCO GERMANS ARE GAINING , A FOOTHOLD IN THE METAL MARKETS St Louis, Mo., May 10.?Germany is taking active measures to once more gain ascendancy in the non ferrous metal markets of the world, and is only delaying her plans until the reparations question is settled, according to Stephen S. Tuthill, of New York, secretary of the Ameri can" Zinc Institute, who addressed a convention of the organizaion hese today. Mr. Tuthil] uttered a warn ing to American producers that their trade is threatened.' ke asserted that at present Ger-r many and Belgium are conducting negotiations for a re-establishment of their former trade relations in the metal market. "The American Zinc Institute,' the secretary said, "through private channels and confirmation in Wash inofnn V o e nVitoioH nrnftf thaf fipr. many plans to re-establish her once J famous "karten" or European con vtentton-syndicate control, betteV : known as the 'metallgessellschaft," 1 with hedaquarters at Hamburg and Liege, and with offices in the princi- < pal cities of the world. "The object will be again to ob tain dominance over the non-fer- ' rous metal trade, particularly zinc. "One of the highest officials in Washington has confirmed this and he informed the institute a few days 1 ago that prospects for a foreign mar ' ket for American zinc are not 1 bright.*' This he said left little mar- 1 ket for the American output. - j PRINCE HENRY TURNS 1 TO MILITARY LIFE ; London, May 10.?Prince Henry ' the third son of the king and queen, who attained his majority on March 31 is destined for a military career Although thrust somewhat in the background by his elder brothers, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York, Prince Henry is immensely rwnmilar uri+Vi fhp nnhlifv In stature he excels his brothers and is fond of sports and outdoor 1 life. In pursuance of his inclination ^ to be a solder, he went through the " army class at Eton, and afterward ^ studied at Sandhurst, the English ' West Point.

I would advise you * to take the lower, although it's high- j er than the upper, for the reason I have stated, that the upper is lower * than the lower because it is higher. You can have the lower if you pay | higher, but if you are willing to go i higher, it will be lower." j "Too deep for me,' said' Roy, "I'll ' ride the smoker."
