' '?A m-oeanf intpfl. f^esiacmi XUUUiU^ a JI'""!"" ? ; j tion is to nominate William H. Taft ' / to b? Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Unless there is some change x>f mind (the nomina tion will go the Senate within the next few days. It became known tonight that Mr. Harding "and Mr. Taft have been in communication indirectly and that <|r. Harding has let it be known to -.Mr. Taft that he would be glad to nominate him for the high judicial position. The word has come back that Mr. Taft would be willing to ? accept such a nomination. ' This apparently disposes of the " extensive speculation of the last week, since the death of Chief Jus tice White, to the effect that one of the present Associate Justices would be elevated to the place of Chief Justice and that the vacancy there by created would be filled from out % aide. This talk centred chiefly around the elevation of Associate Justice William R. Day to be Chief v Justice and the possible selection of George Sutherland, former Senator irom utan, 10 tne piace 01 Associate justice. \ Those who speculated with poli tics in mind thought it possible that Senator Pomerene of Ohio, Demo crat, might be selected to be an As sociate Justice. This, it was argued, might continue the political balance of the court since Chief Justice >?hite a Democrat, and at the i&me tinje weakjen the Democratic ticket ifa 'Ohio t6r iithe Setaalkwal ' Ejection two years hence, when S6n *' ator Pomerene is exacted to come up for Preelection. { ['f " - - ?* THE ELDERS CALL # # .. , Several of the venerable men of the city this morning called to pay their respects to Judge Benet. He greatly enjoyed seeing ^them, but found them greatly changed by the ravages of old age. The old men were Col. Thos. P. Thomson, Judge Hollingsworth, Capt. Perrin and Col. Billy Morrison, of Long Cane, who came to hear his young friend speak. Col. Pat Roche went along with the old men to assist them in getting X>ver the high places, as well as to make a few suggestions to Judge Benet about what he should say in his speech in the Opera House. DEACON LONGSHORE j < IN BAD WITH BAPTISTS j ' Deacon "Dad" Longshore is inj bad. He has been held up on his final! examination, and the Baptist church haa good cause for#vere discipline.'. The outcome is awaited with deep', concern by his friends. Deacon Longshore is chairman of the ^social committee" of the Bap tist ehurch. As such, he is supposed j to see^to it that all "fellowship" *f-j( fairs are provided with ample and,. appropriate- refreshments. The pastor: j had announced one of the "social"! half-hoars to follow Wednesday's j prayermeeting?half-horurs which J j haveoadded a hundred fold to the', ^ra^enneeting attendance there. He'. duly, jjnstrjicted the Deacon respect- ^ ihgxefresjiments. " ^ VT ? J | : o>y, ii< nappencu uuv n cuucouaj evening5eas,the time set for .the Dea con's fina^, "school" examination, and his min<i was upon the teachers?or, perhaps, more accurately^. one of them. He confounded his "date" with that of Judge Benet's address at commencement, and gave out the word that Judge Benet would speak Wednesday night at the prayermeet ing hour. The Deacon's social com mittee. became "balled-up," and the call for refreshments was practical ly cancelled. The Deacon was practic ing his part for the "examination." When the pastor got hack to Abbe ville frota a two-day'J trip late Wed nesday afternoon, ready to ' lead a great prayermeeting company, he found that a mix-up had oc&irred. The Deacon could not be located, and it was too late to make arranger ments anew. Nearly 150 persons were at prayermeeting, and the re freshments for. the social half-hour sufficed to serve ' only about one third of the number. The Deacon for the first time in more than a year missed prayermeet ing. , The result of his "examination is in doubt. " ? 5HRINERS MEET IN CEREMONIAL Greenville, May 26.?Attended by upwards of 2,000 persons, most of ,them wearing the red fez of the Shriner, the annual spring cere monial of Hejaz Temple, Order of the My^stim Shrine was held here to day. A dinner wlych thronged the mammoth textile hall with people, a parade which wks witnessed by a crowd that lined the principal streets in the early afternoon and in which approximately 100 candi dates treaded the hot sands before the public view, a ball in the even ing featured the day's program. For the unusually large class of t "fresh meat" unusual preparations were made, and it is whispered around that events such as seldom have been witnessed attended the welcoming of them into the mys teries and the fellowship of the or der. The territory covered by Hejaz ^ Temple is the northern and western s portion of South Carolina. Numbers ^ of prominent visitors, several from other territories are here and among these are Nobles W. S. ("Daddy") * Litfdell, Charlotte: R. S. Reinhardt, LiHColnton, N. C.;?W. F.-Randolph, Dr. Cotton and Dr. Ambler, A$he ville, N. C., al olf whom are past potentates of Oasis Temple, Char leston; D. G. McAllister, Columbia, potentate of Omar Temple and J. W. Grains. *of ^sheville, present potentate of Oasis Temple. ' Tonight the Harvard prize com edy, "Believe Me, "Xantippe," was prawnted by? the dwwn&tic cltfb of c thf. pubjic healthservice hospital at Camp Sevier" in the opera house, and ^ Was attended by many nobl-is^ and their lady friends. The ball was un usually successful. Entertainment for the visiting women throughout the day was provided.

There have been recorded against i number of high school pupils and ?lementary grade pupils conditions in one or more studies for the two lerms of the session. After delibera ;ion and thought it has been decided a> permit such conditioned pupils an jpportunity of making up the work >n which they failed during vacation md examinations for all such high school pupils as carq to try to pass )ff the conditions will be given on Friday, August 26 in the high school Duilding. No other Opportunity will je given to take second examinations jxcept in cases where illness prevents pupils from atttending August 26. Home Study Required. That mofe home study is not re juired of pupils in the higher grades s lamented all during the session by ;he teachers and just now by the pu jrils as well. It is impossible for pu pils in the high school to find time* :n school sufficient to prepare and earn all their lessons and we cannot ifford to lower the a.andard o1 the school to accommodate those pupils who will not study sufficiently at liorae &nd whose parents do not re: luire :h?rm to do s?. .No pupil will b:; admitted to a higher grade who'ha3 failed c n one subje :t or more. No ixceptions will-be made as it is the i:>le aim of the faculty to make she iiploma from yojr schools worth something more th i? the paper it is :ngrivcd upon and a certrn amount )f honest hard work is requisite for >btaining a high school diploma. Statistics. The session just closing has been successful in many ways. We believe hat no class has ever before been Winthrop College JCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE EXAMINATION The examination for the aware, of 'acant Scholarships in Winthrop College and for admission of new tudents will be held at the County 2ourt JHouse on tFriday, Jufr 1, at > a. m.
