Social Events in Latta.
i i /
Mr. knd Mrs. John J. Allen entertained
with an elaborate dinner party
Friday evening. Covers wer^e laid
foi four couples and a course dinner
was served. Cards and music were
later enjoyed.
Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Berry, Jr. entertained
with a fish fry at their
heme a few miles west of Latta, on
Friday evening. The usual warm
hospitality was received and everything
bountifully served as this
popular host and hostess are famed
in these virtues.
The people of Latta had quite a
surprise one day last week in the
marriage of H. Leon LeGette to Miss
Gladys Wright of Marlboro county.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. B. G. .Murphy pastor of the Clio
Methodist church. The marriage took
place at the home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. James Wright,
who live on a farm about five miles
from Clio. The happy couple are
spending a few days here at Latta
with the bridegroom's parents Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. B. LeGette.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Smith were delightful
host and hostess on Tues|day
evening when they entertained
twenty of their friends. The house
was made pretty with many spring
blossoms. This, with the warm and
generous hospitality received 4 from
the host and hostess, made it a pleasant
occasion indeed: Chicken bog,
served in molds with hot rolls, pickles,
coffee, fruit salad, ice cream and
cake were bountifully served by the
hostess assisted by Mrs. Rogers and
.Miss Amanda Edwards.
Mrs. W. D. Bethea entertained the
Bridge Club on Friday afternoon in
ihonor of Miss Julia Rogers a new
member. The wide attractive porches
lot Mrs. Bethea's new home were
] made more attractive with vases,
bowls and baskets of golden nasturtiums
and hyderranges. This pretty
background combined with . cooling
breezes made it an ideal place for
playing and a number of spirited
games were enjoyed. Miss Ormle Bethea
was presented a dainty vanity
box for making highest score. Late
in the afternoon the hostess assisted
by Mrs. R. J. Dew and Miss Winks
Bailey served congealed fruit salad,
sandwiches and crackers with iced
tea and mints.
Miss Mae Braddy entertained fifteen
couples of the younger set on ;
Tuesday evening with a lovely party
from nine until eleven. The house i
was beautifully decorated with nasturitium8,
sweet peas and hyderang- ]
es. The hostess was assisted in re- |
reiving and entertaining by her mother
and father Mr. and Mrs. W. W. |
Braddy and Miss Gertrude Maninng.
Many merry games and contests with |
lovely music Were enjoyed. Delicious
iced fruit puftch was freely dispensed

The guests reluctantly parted, all
pronouncing Miss Mae a most charming
hostess.

Mrs. A. L. Hardee of Florence who
has been the guest of Miss Terresa
Dew was complimented with a rook
party on Monday afternoon by Mrs.

News Items of Interest in and Around
Latta.
A Mr. Cottingham who farnjB near
Latta brought a genuine boll weevil
into my office on Saturday, which
was captured from a swarm of these
insects in a field not far off. It
might not be too late, or bad advice
to plow up cotton even at this late
date, where the stand is poor, and
plant corn and peas instead.
The Methodists of Latta, according
to their plans all along, put on the
educational drive on Sunday, May the
29 th, and worked with the several
committees from 2 to 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, and by the evening hour
foi preaching the amount allotted to
this church was a little over-subscribed
and was so stated by Dr. Kirkland
at the beginning of the evening
service. We hope to see all our sister
churches do as well. As we see it,
and believe it to be a call productive
of more good than any heretofore
made by the Methodists at any time
in their past history.
Sheriff Bethea and his deputy
John McCracken on Thursday morning
found a splendid Bmall copper
still complete near Reedy Creek
springs. It appeared to have been recently
operated. There was no one
at the still when it was discovered.
A colored man by the name of Sam
Caldwell lives within about 400
yards of where the still was being operated,
and is known to be an expert
distiller of high grade whiskey. He
was taken by thte officers and is now
in the Dillon county jail to await the
out come of the affair.
Tennis Matches
It used to be that Latta was talked
about in terms of base ball; but now
it has changed to tennis. Quite a
number of enthusiastic young stars
popped up in the last few months?
as well as a few older ones. Dal Bethea
claims that he is by far the
champion, although Ed Fenegan is
no mean runner-up. If my young
friend Zeigler had started in the
game about ten years earlier, he
might have made some of these would]
be champiorg take notice; even now i
he is no mean player. Carl Edwards I
is beginning to think that he has developed
the "Lofty" stroke to about
the place where he will soon be able
to beat our young friend Long, from
Florence. There are some others we
might mention, including Mr. T. W.
Berry, M. H. Cox, "Dolly" Bass, R. T.
Fajrey, but these all claim that they
play only for the exercise, and more
especially when nobody is looking.
F'airey's shoulder has a habit of becoming
dislocated when lie is playing;
with the ladies, which does not speak
very well of him as-an. athlete.
All of which leads me to the main
theme of this write-up, the tennis
tournament which was held here on
the local courts last Thursday, the
26th. Messrs. Long, Hardee, and Willis,
all of Florence, and McSween
and Glaze of Rowland came over and
uigeiiier wun ine local cDamps had j
quite a day of it. The first games of i
the morning were played by Long!
and Hardee against Bethea and Willis,
Long and Hardee winning two
sets by the score of 6-3, 6-1. Bethea'
did not appear to be in his usual
form for these first sets, hence the
score.
The next sets were played by Bethea
and Fenegan against Willis and

'riinlM, resulting in the scoVe of 76,
7-6 for the first two player*. Letts
showed up fairly well in these
sets. The last set of the morning was
played by Long and Edwards against
Bethea and Zeigler, the (score being
.62.
In the afternoon McSween and
Glase played Bdthea and Fenegan
tbree sets, the scores resulting as
follows: 6-7, 7-6, 7-6. McSween and
Glaxe came fresh into the game,
while Bethea and Fenegan were
both somewhat fatigued, from the
playing of the morning, otherwise the
score would possibly have been somewhat
different. Th<e players from
Rowland Bhowed well, especially at
the net. They were both in better
physical trim than their opponents
which went a long way in tbfelr favor.
"
The last set of doubles for the afternoon
was played by Hardee and
Long against McSween and Qlaze.
Long seemed to lose his nerve for the
first five games, which caused the
score to read 0-5. but Just as suddenly
came back, with the result that
the final score reed 9-7. Before the
set was over both teams had begun
to show the result of too strenuous
playing, which caused the interest to
lag just a little.
Willis and Zeigler played the only
set of singles after this, resulting in
a deuce set finally of 7-7. They
seemed to be about evenly matched.
Altogether the games were ^ell enJoyed
by both players and spectators.
We are looking forward to the next
tournament with greater interest
than ever.
