tice day was ushered in on the 11th
at eleven o’clock.
Legionnaires and coast guard urtits
vied with each other at the dance and
frolic. Pretty Salvation Army-type
girls waited on the assembly with
hot doughnuts and chewing gum;
lovely Red Cross nurses served hot
coffee. Therejwere “seconds,” too, on
everything. Tns evening of fun and
laughter was planned especially to
drive away the thoughts of cruel war
with its hatred. It served its purpose
for laughter and cheers. mingled with
the shuffling of many feet.
At eight-thirty men, women and
children began arriving, until as late
as ten o’clock it seemed there would
be no room for otfiers still coining.
However, the spacious Copeland’s hall
was taxed - to its utmost and .there
was room for all.
Starting with square dancing, the
whirl of flying feet was mingled with
the call of one familiar with “calling”
such a dance. The floor, soon became
so full of those wanting to show their
prowess that a list of names had to
be called for each dance,^;until all who
had any desire to try their “dogs” had
the opportunity.
Few of the legionnaires had lost
their “pep” and most of them danced
with the younger generation. Not to
outdone by their “lesser^ halves,”
the ladies were, in the thick of the
fun. There- was plenty of it for all.
Not a dull moment was spent during
the course of the evening.

Gaffney negroes, Horace Williams
and Jack Camp. Barnhill ■rifiBegedly
made a confession to the arrestidg
officers, and implicated Burton and
the other negroes. Burton had been
employed at the warehouse here as
cotton sampler and is said to have
had access to the building from early
morning uhtil closing time. Accord
ing to Barnhill’s admission of the
thefts at Laurens, Burton was in
duced to acept a bribe of $26 a bale
for each one prepared for delivery to
a truck or trucks that appeared at
the warehouse at dfwn or earlier in
the morning for the loot. Williams
and Camp allegedly had been em
ployed by Barnhill as drivers of the
cotton trucks, he said. Both were in
dicted by the grand jui^ along with
Barnhill and Burton, but they refused
to enter pleas of guilty, and it was
learned at the sheriff’s office today
that both would probaly be released
on their own bond.
