with Miss Clara E. Duckett presiding.

president. It has done unusually good
work and the last of April is planning

library building with a well equipped
reading room, children’s department,
et^. It should have a room whS're all
the clubs and organizations could hold
heir meetings and should be made the
Center of the tolim’s cultural life. It
should have an art department and a
music department so that our children
can have the finer things of life. Al
ready our library is of untold value
to the school children, especially the
high school pupils, and it would be
impossible to estimate the value to
the town of a well equipped library.
Other towns have splendid libraries
—^why not Clinton. If the women do
not start the movement and arouse
the interest of the town, we will nev
er get a library. Most of the libraries
in the various towns have been start
ed by some woman’s club.
Let’e work for the be.st equipped lit
tle library and the best school sys
tem in the pretteist town in the state.
KIWANIANS ENJOY
Chairman Ways and Means Com-
mitUe, Mrs. T. J, Peake,

. Clinton must have a beautiful little
A cloudburst of hilarity visited the
Hotel Clinton on Thursday evening
when Kiwanians, Kiweens, and their
guests assimbled for their annual
“ladies night.’’ The air was laden with
microbes of good fellowship, and the
blowing of horns, the throwing of rib
bon confetti, and the forward passes
of pleasantries made all forget dull
car^s.
Long tables with runners of blue
and white, Kiwanis colors, and bowls
of narcissi placed between blue can
dles in crystal holders evidenced the
fact that artistic hands had been at
work. Each grapefruit bore a minia
ture blue candle in a glaced holder.
^fter a most wonderful repast^ for
which “Aunt Sally’’ is famous, W. D.
Copelani^, president of the club, ex
tended a hearty welcome. John Hol
land Hunter, chairman of the program
committee, in a true end-man style,
presented the features of the evening.
Mis.s Mary Lou Bell, with Miss Keels
at the piano, favored the club with
several popular selections. Jimmy
Reid and Miss Anna Bell Hudson were
generous with their piano'selections.
John MeSween was called on for the
spe ch of the evening and he chose
as hi8,.subject, “Nothing.” Most glibly
and humorously he handled his sub
ject and for fifteen minutes Ke held
his audience in literal scream. More
than onc3 town officials peeped thru
the window but when they saw that
the president of Presbyterian college
had the floor they passed on. If any
one has any doubts about his having
that subject down to a fins point just
ask for a discourse.
Mesdames J. A. Bailey, Henderson
Pitts, W. H. Simpson and L. B. Dil-
Uni were called en to participate in a
balloon conteat. A handaeme priM
was awar.i«d the beat blower an(i that
Waa—well, gueaa/'
Rex Phillipa made a display of un
discovered talent. B. H. Boyd, F. C.
Pinson and J. H. Witherspoon were^
given latest Parisian modela of hats
with all the tkw trimmings to be ar
ranged according to the artistic tem
perament of the contestants. These
bonnets were later donned by the
trimmers and J- H. Witherspoon’s co-
quettisbness completely roped the
judge. *“I say, I say, I think I’ll open
a millinery shop!”
L. B. Dillard presented the next
stunt which was classed as “Some
thing New Under the Sun.”. John
MeSween and Rex Phillips were given
blocks of hardwood and a couple of
ten penny nails to drive with their
hands. Mr. BTcSween’s vocation be
fore coming as president of the col
lege was discovered. In ’Hramons^lle
he was a first rate carpenter.
Misses Anna Bell Hudson and Mil
dred Harris were the lucky “Thirteen-
ers” In the hand-shaking contest. The
attendance price, John Holland pre
sented to Mrs. Gary Martin. But, alas,
alack, the imported etched water set
was a victim of an unavoidable acci
dent. '
The evening’s program culminated
in the black face stunt presented by
three boys of the seventh grade. Dill
Ellis, Talmadge Veal and Robert
Vance. If you haven’t heard this don’t departments

song heralded the parting of the

I stand for living •\^ges for all city i
employees and a full support and co- j
operation with them in thair work,
I and it will be my purpose to demand
I efficient service from all employees
in order that the City may receive
full value for every dollar it spends.
I stand for business efficiency—a
. progressive, wide-awake administra-

■ credit and this record, should be main
tained. On January the first we had
' met all outstanding obligations and
did not *}we a dollar Boating debt

, without crippling or impairing the ef-
' ficient and progressive functionin,g of
the various department of thy City,
* the expenditures for each year should
' be kept within the income for the
same period. By cartful development
of the present budget system in oper
ation this can be done.
The City should be prompt in meel-
. ing its obligations. We requir*.^ of our
people;:»lion penalty of law, that they
, meet their obligation.8 to the towTi by
the 10th of each month. The City in

which the administration’i.s failing to
do.
In conclusion, v/ill state that if 1 am
electej, I will give the time and
thought needed to the position and will
diligently ptM'form the duties of the
office. .\ot only do 1 stand for a BIG-
GKH ('linicn.'hut likewise for a BIOT-
TKK Clinton with a law-abiding civi-
z:n.«hip. 1 believe in full publicity of
the City's affairs, the publication of
financial statements and regular au
dits in order that th' taxpayers (the
people who must foot the bills) may
have an intelligent knowledge of how
their money is ficing expended, I will ♦
give all of the time necessary to carry <X
on the work thoroughly ajid efficient- T
ly. I am in favor, .so far as practical, i ♦
of'spending the^if5?^!rTrwftey at home,
j of giving preference to our home peo
ple, both'white and colored, in oarr>'-
ing on public improvements. “Clin'ton
First” will be nry slogan as it has al-'
ways been as a private citizen and
with the cooperation and advice of'
City Council, I will endeavor to plan
and provide not only for today but
build for the future.
“PROGRESSIVE but not EXTRAV
AGANT” is my platform summed up i
in four words. _ 7
'fhe support given me in this race ^
by the voters of Clinton will be deep
ly appreciated. ,
