Just such a lathering of women has never been een in this city, and those who tave been with Mr. Sunday for rears say the gathering was one of he largest of all his experience, '.ion wnmpn nnlv wprp flrldrPSSed. Men who escorted their wives here were turned back and in trusions were issued to the police o keep the men away from the loors and windows of the building, md they followed instructions.

' NDERSOPt KICKS; IS CALLED T In reporting ths account of the! )beville basketball games with ! school in Anderson Friday, "the chool correspondent" of the And son Tribune has the following to y of the games: 'Tn thp two cames olaved vester y with Abbeville the Anderson [i," girls' won their game but the ys' were defeated. The girls' nning score was 50-3 and the ys' fatal score was 15-11. The Is of "Hi" carried the game en-j ely for three quarters and in the it quarter Abbeville scored three ints, throwing one straight goal d one foul. Follows are the girls' line-ups: derson?50 Martha Miller Hol , (42) Mildred Hatcher, (8) wards. Delmar Bailes running iter, Mattie Lee Mitchell, jump ; center, Mary Welborn guard, orgia Power, guard. Abbeville?3 McCuen (1) Owens ) fowards. Edwards running cen , Wilson jumping center, Chalm i guard, Barksdale guard. Robert wen referee. rhe following substitutes were de' in the last fcalfMyrtle own for Delmar Bailes, Mary nee for Mary Welborn. The iboys' game was somewhat of ;wo sided affair. The boys' of i" would have won the game yes day afternoon but an Abbeville n was referee and the boys of i" were licked in the manner t they were in a football game Abbeville last season and every rting fan in Anderson that at ded that game knows that the derson boys had to play the eree as well as the team. The rs were (beaten last year in a oball game by a mere point, )-21). An Anderson boy made a chdown hut the "referee" ruled i "HpsH" ihall. Tust as an Anderson boy would eaten to throw a goal yesterday that basketball game, the referee tally noticed a foul for some un reason and let the Abbeville m throw the foul goal. Allows are the boys line-ups:? derson?11 Mattison, (2) Mar 1, (1) forwards. Johnson, (8) ter, McLeskey guard. Vbjbeville?15 Galloway, (5) nes, (6) forwards.

" \ Jpon 'being shown this article i morning Supt. Fulp of the Ab ille school expressed surprise t Anderson should be kicking in on their defeat at the hands Abbeville High especially when Anderson team urged Mr. Haf , coach of the Abbeville teams, referee the games stating that y had no available' referee from ir city. Everybody who knows , Hafner, knows that he would er be guilty of unfair decisions r more than Red McMillan was Ity last fall of "unfair decisions viarMnc -fnn+iHall teams here. If thing either of these two gentle ix would lean toward the oppo ! side in their endeavors to keep sm suspicion, however ground i, that might arise from a pre iced group of fans. Jupt. Fulp after reading the ar e relating to the ' basketball ties stated that Abbeville had fered the last insult they would e from such reports and sent the lowing telegram to Mr. Hanna, ncipal of the Anderson high ool, which school's teams are eduled to play in Abbeville to rrnw; 'Have just read account of iketbacll game in Anderson Tri ne. Until an apology is received im the 'school correspondent' o wrote the unfair account of ys' game I cannot permit my im, by meeting yours again, to subjected to ny such untrue ac sations." So this leaves the question of lether there will be a basketball me on the high school court ' to >rrow afternoon entirely up to thorities of the Anderson high 100I.

Laugh Carolina Tar Baby. "Now tell me, my good woman, why you are laughing so heartily." "I'm laughing about a lady who lost her cook." "That surely is nothing to cause laughter." "Oh yes, it is; I'm the cook." porters of the Tribune, Supt. Fulp still ibelieves that Anderson High school should refute the unfairness of the report. Anderson is the only team against which Abbeville has played in the past three years when any such criticism was made, .although the same officials have worked in practially every contest (between visiting schools and Abbeville high. If Anderson comes across, as they should, with either an apology or rpfutatioTi of the Tribune's ac count of the game, advertisement of the games to ibe played here to morrow afternoon will be made in the morning. Game Tomorrow Later today Mr. Fulp received the 0 following telegram and the game tomorrow will be played at 3:30 o'clock: "Anderson school officials had absolutely nothing to do with re port.
