“Ladies Night," an annual event at
which the wives and friends of the
members of the Chamber of Commerce
are always guests of honor, took
place Tuesday evening in the club
rooms in the form of a feast amT so
cial entertainment that was well up to
the standard of such performances of
the past. The actual and prospective
wives never looked prettier and the
men haditeldom, if ever, shown great
er skill ahcTease in absorbing the ex-
ly prepared and served by the Wo
man’s club.
The company, numbering 130, gath
ered in the reception room shortly be
fore eight O’clock and from that time
on the evening passed rapidly and
was a happy mingling together with
short addresses, readings and musical
numbers by local talent as enjoyable
features. Music by the Presbyterian
college orchestra occupied quite a
prominent part on the evening’s pro
gram and scored a big hit with the
gathering. Two of the city’s attrac
tive young lassies, Lillian Burns
Browning and Florence Bailey, acted
as sponsors for the orchestra.
The large room used for the party,
was transformed into a mass of color
and beauty with its fall decorations.
The tables were attractively arranged
and covered with autumn leaves and
chrysanthemums that added to the
lovely setting of the occasion.
R. W. Wade, presidewt r of the organ-*
ization, presided, and expressed the
club’s pleasure in having the ladies
present as well as a number of out-of-
town guests. The speeches were well
received and for such an occasion,
were neither too frequent nor too long.
The invocation was offered by Dr. A.
E. Spencer.
After the sweets of the menu had
been reached, the toastmaster rapped
for order and the evening’s program
was entered upon. Dr. B. L. Parkin
son, newly elected president of Pres
byterian college, gave a toast to “Co
operation,” and was well received. He
complimented the club on sponsoring
the occasion, stating that such a
gathering bespeaks cooperation
that great accomplishments today
come only through organization which
helps to bring about a finer and’ rich
er community spirit.
A sextette consisting of Mrs. B. 0.
Whitten, Mrs. R. W. Wade, Mrs. W. P.
Jacobs, Miss Collette Griffin, W. P.
Jacobs and Dr. B. 0. Whitten, gave
two special selections that were well
received and heartily encored, with
Mis. J. F. Jacobs, Jr., presiding at the
piano.
Miss Margie Morgan, one of the tal
ented' high school girls of the Thom-
well orphanage, gave a clever reading
that proved an enjoyable feature. _
The principal address of the evening
was made by Dr. George R. Wilkipson
of Greenville, who made a very prac
tical and enjoyable talk on “A Pro
fessional Man’s View of the Chamber
of Commerce." It was Dr. Wilkinson’s
first appearance in Clinton on such an
occasion and he received the rapt at
tention of all his hearers. He describ-

W. EDGAR OWENS
\t&
W. E. Owens, well-known and es
teemed citizen, has long been known
in the life and history of Clihton and
is one of the city’s most loyal and en
thusiastic boosters. . •
Mr. Owens was born on Majch 19,
1860, a sejn of Captain Robt: Spencttr
and Nancy Blakely Owens. His fath
er was Captain of Co. F, 14th regi
ment, of the Confederate army, and
was^ wounded on July 3, 1862 at Fraz
ier’s Farm during the Seven Days
fgiht around Richmond, Va. Eleven
days later he died in Richmond as a
result of the wounds he sustained
while fighting for his country. He
left a widow, five children and
three step-children. His oldest broth
er, Rutledge Owens, who accompanied
his father to the war, was killed in
the Battle of Gettysburg a year after
; his father’s death, and his body was
never brought home;
Following the death of Capt. Owens,
continued frr six years. With Mr.
Copeland’s withdrawal, the firm con
tinued for six years longer under the
original firm name and occupied the
store-room where Copeland-Stone Co.
is now located. -wf
In 1606’Mrf Owens disposed'bf'his
mercantile interests and soon there
after suffered a stroke of paralysis
which made it necessary for him to
give up a large part of his active du
ties. He continued to supervise his
farming interests and for a while op
erated a small store at Lydia mills.
He then took the moving picture fever
and managed the Casino theatre for
five years.
In 1885 Mr. Owens entered the po
litical arena and was elected mayor
of Clinton. He bears the distinction of

By a vote of 71 to 49, the bond elec
