WILL BE CHIEF
JUSTICE; ACCEPTS
HARDING'S OFFER
Washington, D. C., May 25.?
' '?A m-oeanf intpfl.

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.

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.

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

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") *

Condition Pupils.
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
