Friday, May 19, 1922. <$>?$>$><$> ?> <S> <S> ROTARY LUNCHEON <S> <$> <$ An excellent program?and an equally excellent luncheon?was dished out to the Rotary club on Tuesday afternoon at its regular fortnightly meeting, which was held in the grill room of the Newberry hotel. Pro?;irJprit Haskell Kibler was charge d'affairs and he wielded the gavel in j a most parliamentary manner. The program committee, with Rotarian Jas. Kinard as chairman, turned over to the president a most interesting program, which was rendered "according to Hoyle." Of course, the program committee was not responsible for everything that bobbed up during the course of the luncheon, for it is a matter of impossibility for any committee to hold Rotarians Ben Cromer and Earle Babb?the former with his ready witticisms and the latter with his music and stunts?down to a "set program." That just simply can't be did"?and there is no telling ever when either of these Rotes is going to start something. Rotarian Hal Kohn, the efficient secretary of the Rotary club, was on the program for a paper on "My Vocation." Now, of course, when Hal arose to deliver this preachment, everybody thought that a treatice on books, art goods, etc., was forthcoming: a second guess would have been a narrative on the trials and tribulations of a newspaper correspondent, in which work this Rotarian now excels. But, not so! Instead, Rotarian Kohn just lived up to his soubriquet of "Dollar Down" and proceeded to tell the club what it meant to be secretary of the Newberry Rotary club. It was a very interesting paper?read in a very interesting an:! entertaining manner. ' Then Rotarian Sid Derrick launched right into a "Talk on Rotary" and the ws.y he handled his subject was proof conclusive to the Rotes that he knows Rotary. This Rotarian just couldn't omit reference to "jollity" and "solidarity," which nre two of his pet themes?and he knows how to expatiate on them, too. Everybody knows that Rotarian Derrick is going to "say a moutmui" wnen nu gets up to speak, and he did on this occasion. The talk was greatly enjoyed. At the last luncheon, the club had as its guests the senior class of Newberry college. As a ball game was scheduled for that afternoon, however, it was impossible for the members of the team to be present. The four members of the team, Messrs. Shealv. Haltiwanger, Luther and Derrick, and Coach "Dutch'' McLean, who could not be with their clasmates on that occasion, were present at Tuesday's luncheon. Prof. Gilbert P. Voigt of the college faculty, was also a g^iest at the luncheon. Short talks were made by Messrs. Derrick, McLean and Voigt in a most happy manner. Of course, Rotarian Bafcb had to put on exhibition for the Rotarians and their guests some of the musi> cal(?) talent of the club, and Rotarians James Kinard, Ben Dorrity and Harry Dominick proceded to lead in the infliction of a few of the cldtimers on the helpless gathering. The election of delegates to the international Rotary convention, which will be held in Los Angeles next ? month, was then entered into. Rotarian Zach Wright was elected delegate and Rotarian George Summer, alternate. Both of these Rotarian-3 will attend the convention and will "be escorted as far as Ashevilie on May 30th by a bunch of local Rotes in automobiles. The party will be the guests of the Ashevilie Rotary club at a luncheon on that date. Tuesday's luncheon was a most enjoyable affair?and now the Rotes - - ~ ^ v? ?v?

C., May 15.?Germany is staging a determined effort to regain her pre-war commercial supremacy upon the seven seas, Edward B. Farley, sales manager of the United States Shipping Board, tcld a joint congressional committee Monday. Farley, just retui'ned from a long foreign tour, declared America soon would be passed by Germany as a maritime nation unless American, commerce were backed by a ship sub-l sidy as urged by Presidentt Harding. ] J ? <8> <8> > AMERICAN LEGION NOTES. <S> Q> <8> $ G> ? ? ?

Already sev-'s eral Newberrians have made applica- 'v tion and others are seeking information concerning the camp. j( c Friday afternoon at the Legion v hall there will be something in the a way of entertainment which will be i unique as well as highly interesting, a for on Friday afternoon the champion checker players from cur neigboring ^ city of Prosperity will journey up c here and contest the crack Newberry 0 players for the championship of New- 0 * ' mi ill .v _ ? . ocrry county. mere wm oe uum j, eight to -ten games carried on simul- t taneously, with the players matcthed r as well as possible. The manner in I which the champion will be picked has t not- been announced but all the de- a tails will be carefully worked out and Y, those who want to see a checker bat- t tie royal will gather at the Legion ,] haii Friday afternoon and witness \ this inter-city struggle. Robert W. \ Wright is making the arrangements j for the tournamentt while Birge Wise h of Prosperity will manage the affairs c of the Prosperity players. Both of r these managers are ardent checker i fans and good players, too. , r 't On Thursday night, May 18th, at h 8:00 o'clock, the local post of the t American Legion is putting on an t entertainment* in the new court house which is open to the public, E and which should be interesting to everybody in Newberry. Mr. Hume MacDonald will give a demonstrating lecture on boxing, "The Manly Art t )f Self Defense." At the same time t he will give a short talk on Keeping t Fit, Reducing and Body Building, es- a pecially for the ladies. Every ex- h service man knows what an impor- r tant part boxing played in the train- p ing of the American soldier during r the World war. This demonstration p will carry them back to their camp- c i 7 mg days. j The legion when approached by v Mr. MacDonald. himself a World war c veteran, having served with the an- t adian forces in France, and who is touring the United States giving his r lecture, immediately consented to \ have him come to Newberry. He r explains and demonstrates in a lucid i manner the art of self defense, and c from the accounts of his lecture a which he gave to the legion at Green- v wood last week, Mr. MacDonald un- fc derstands his subject for he made a g decided hit with the boys. So pleas- J, ed and interested were they that he wa? prevaied upon to spend a week f with them in giving lessons in the art y of boxing. The post commander, 3 Mr. Ernest Rosenberg, enrolled the ^ame night thirty pupils. I < The public is cordially invited to hear and see Mr. MacDonald. He is ar. interesting character, is a veteran of three wars, has traveled in every civilized and a g:ood many uncivilized ( countries on this old globe of ours, * and is thoroughly familiar with the * i subject of his lecture. You will be ' pleased with him. Come out and c bring some one with you. Admission wpl be free. I ( John B.

After closing the j loor as he goes out he was in the act. ?f pushing it open at the time of the! ttack and finding that something' i'as keeping the door from being op-! ned wide he pushed harder, stoop-1 ng as he entered the office, when he: i*as struck on the head, but not | tunned. He was struck four times, rlr. Dickert finding a stick broken n four places, the stick being the1 nstrument used by the assailant. The tick was about two inches wide and n inch thick and long enough to be i*ell handled. Mr. Dickert received he licks on the top of his head,1 cross his forehead, nose and eyes. A j trange part was that while one eye vas wounded the lens of his glasses o that eye was not broken, but the ? ? r? /-?-v?o nl/_ ens to tne uninjureu.eyt; wao tiamd. Mr. Dickert did not shoot as he vas somewhat blinded by the licks, nd having only one good eye, and hat being not in the best condition t any time. After the would-be robber or rnur-' lerer had hit the last lick he esaped. Mr. Dickert could not make iut who he was, as the man had put iut the lantern which had been eft lighted in the office and it was in he darkness that the attack was nade. As quickly as possible Mr. Dickert called for help. Living near ?y Messrs. J. T Hutchison, Ira Clamp nd Boyd and Floyd Clamp heard lim and immediately responded to he calls. They at once phoned Mr. ohn H. Wicker and he and Dr. Vicker answered in person. Dr. Vicker gave his attention to the inured man while communication was lad with police headquarters. Chief ?f Police S. C. McCarley, and Policenen J. C. Inabinet and J. C. Foy remired to the scene and within 40 ninutes after receiving the message he Teague bloodhounds were on land, but owing to the heavy rain he dogs were unable to scent the racks wanted. N, 1 )R.

IN "LOVE'S MASQUERADE" Conway T^arle in "Love's Masquerade" is the attraction at the op^ ;ra nouse Friday. There are few moion picture stars whose attractions ire offered in Newberry who have i more popular appeal at the box ofice. Mr. Tearle is generally conceded to be among the first ten actors - - ' 5n jeiore UIU llIUUUll pili-uic \-amviu 14* joint of genuine histrionic ability. The wide experience which he had on ;he speaking st3ge before turning to :h movies has stood him in good stead ind made it possible for him to give in excellent performance in any kind )f a role which is supplied him. "Love's Masquerade" is a story vhich carries the star through a succession of highly dramatic incidents which might easily have been taken from real life in any average community. It is from the pen of Henry 1. Montagne who has done many good things for the photoplay world. Wiliam P. S. Tearle directed the production for the Selznick company.

HARDING INVITED TO SHRINE MEETING IN ROCK HILL "Good Town" Makes Preparation for Big Day The State. Rock Hill, May 15.?When a message was received this morning from Illustrious Potentate D. A. G. Ouzts of Greenwood that he had extended to President Harding, who is a Shriner, an invitation to be the guest of Hejaz temple Thursday when the spring ceremonial will be held in Rock Hill, the Rock Hill organization got busy. Telegrams, urgently inviting the president to "come down" and don the Fez for a day were sent by the Rock Hill Shrine club, Winthrop college, the rhamber of commerce, the city of Rock Hill, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, and the Evening Herald. Governor Cooper, who is also expected to be here for the ceremonial, last week invited the president, extending a personal invitation during his visit to Washington. The Shriners are hopeful th'at the president will accept the invitations to partake for a day of the hospitality of the Palmetto state. He can leave Washing-ton Wednesday night, arrive here early in the morning, spend the day and return to Washington Thursday night, being absent from his office but a single day. Tomorrow the work of decoratnig the city for the occasion will be under way and by night the city's business district will be a riot of colors. Ceremonial Director Smith will arrive with his camels from Greenville Wednesday morning and the day will be devoted to grooming the "ship.-- of the desert" and getting the equipment raedy for the "forced march" Thursday. All rports indicate there will be 2,000 or more Shriners ere, wile there will be an uncounted multitude from all over this part of the state to Witness the street stunts and see the "fresh meat" ere it is carried to the house of slaughter across the hot sands of the .desert. To Provide Stunts After hearing.the reports from the different comntittees and learning that each man had his task well in V>o?rl Prpei/lont Hardin and his as aaiiUl JL. A VW1V?V??W >0 > sistants gave prolonged consideration to the street stunts for the "fresh meat" before aad during the parade. New and novel 5|ints have been lined up that will giv^4he candidates plenty to do from the time the patrol gets out until the ceremonial session in the afternoon. There are a number of Rock Hill Masons, to walk the sands and the local members are determined to see that the desert sands are especially warm. The ceremonial will fee held in the gymnasium at4 Winthrop college, with the swimming pool and showers immediately adjacent. While Shriners will not talk on the subject, ru mcr has it that a vast supply office will be placed in the pool shortly before the candidates are conducted into the building. Another rumor is to the effect that a bounteous supply of the material used in preparing dips for cattle and swine will be put into the pool and that the candidates will go through this and take the showers prior to emerging into the gym arena. Regardless as to the nature of mirth provoking stunts, all Shriners are assured of plenty of amusement and the candidates are being admonished to remember that they will get their money's worth later when they help to initiate others. , The parade committee promised a pageant a mile long and reports to day are to tne enect mat 11 may exceed expectations. Director Smith is expected to be here Wednesday morning to get his end of the business in readiness for the event. Women to Attend Reports coming in from all over | the state indicate an unusual atten! dance. Hundreds of members of Omar and Oasis temple will be here to join with their brother nobles of Hejaz in the performance of the mysl tic rites. Hundreds of women are also expected to accompany their nobles on this pilgrimage. The fact | that the ceremonial is to be at Winthrop college, where hundreds of Shriners have daughters or other ral j t-.ves, will serve to bring many here j and in most cases it is expected they (will be accompanied by their wives jand sisters. The women of the local Shrine club have perfectetd an organization to the end that ample entertainment shall be furnished the ' visiting women. The Carolina hotel will be general ! headquarters and here the officers J will be placed. The drum corps and ! the patrol will come in Pullmans but will have headquarters at the Moose home. Mary Wheeler, colored, paid a fine of $25 to Magistrate Douglas Monday for breach of peace and using profane language in the presence of Indies. Funeral of Mrs. MayeS The Herald and News carried the brief announcement Tuesday of the death of Mrs. Carrie Mayer Mayes, the beloved and loving vvfie of Mr. ;J. Thomas Mayes, who died at half ipast two o'clock Monday afternoon, | after an illness of several weeks at , her home, 1711 Main street. The funeral service was conducted at the home Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, by her pastor, Dr. C. A. Freed, interment in Rosemont cemetery, the following acting as pallbearers: C. T. Summer, J.' Y. McFall, W. B. j Wallace, J. H. Summer, F. N. Martin, J. N. McCaughrin, W. F. Ewart, I W. E. Turner. Mrs. Mayes is survived by her husJband, Mr. J.

With the exception of Mr. William Mayes, who . was unable to come, and Mr. Tom Mayes, who arrived the night follow| ing the burial, the others with memt bers of their families were present. 1 Besides the above, Mrs. Mayes leaves several grandchildren and other reljatives and a large circle of friends | to mourn their loss. She was the ' daughter of the late Dr. 0. B. Mayer, Sr., and a sister of the late Dr. i 0. B. Mayer, Jr., both eminent physicians, holding the affectionate re1 gard of the community. Many in Newberry remember very pleasantly ' the life time of these departed docl :ors and the happy marriage of Mr. Tom Mayes and his bride, who had been sweethearts since childhood. As /?Qn n hie trap pVi ara<?tor from the eyes of the public, being i "known and read of all men," it has been pleasantly seen all along that the love of the sweethearts abided with the same tender solicitude throughout the journey of life together as when at the altar they were made man and wife. Such rare, affection is appreciated by a community and the joy of it kept the two young. Children were born and the little ones grew to manhood and womanhood, reared aright, and the happiness of the household deepeaed as the years went by. And now death ' has entered the happy home and robbed it of the fond wife and mother and left in the wake of its desolation the bleeding heart of a devoted * * i i ^ i t r* nusoana ana aeep saaness 10 airectionate children, to all of whom the community extends sincerest sympathy. / Silverstre t ' We are glad to report that Mrs. C.
