FIRST WEEK JURORS Court of General Sessions Opens Dec. 14 With Judge Sease Presiding ? ? m. Court of general sessions for Ker shaw County will eonvenc on the second Monday in December with Judge Thortms S. Sease presiding. Jurors t ? '4"- C;r< kjstm i&jm PORTRAITS PRESENTED, Pictures of Six (icnrruls Given To Cumdcn Schools, ? ? The chapel exercises of the ('am den Schools wejje marked by u most unique and interesting program on Tuesday morning, the occasion being the presentation of the portraits of tho six Generals furnished, the Con* fcderae,V by 'our historic town. The stage had been most appropriately decorated with palms and ferns, Con federate flags and white flowers, tho portraits placed in full view among them, by Mrs. John Nettles and her committee. Mrs.^F. I. Proctor and committtee being responsible for the choice of these excellent portraits and their simple, tasteful frames. It was indeed an inspiring sight W'hen the auditorium tilled from stage to gallery with the youth of today, proud and anxious to do honor to the heroes who wore the gray. In spite of the early hour many of the relatives of the generals so hon ored and ever-faithful Daughters of the Confederacy were present, but it was regretted that the former presi dent, Miss, Louise Nettles, for many years the head of the John D. Kenne dy Chapter U. D. C., was unablo to be present. ' After reading from the Scriptures and a prayer by Mr. Richards, super intendent of the schools, the exer cises were turned over to Mrs. N. R. Goodale, President of the John D. Kennedy Chapter, U. I). C. The Glee Club, clad in the white and red of the South, enthusiastically sang the old favorites, the Bonnie Blue Flag and Dixie. In a few well chosen words Mrs. Goodale gracefully and earnestly presented the portraits to the Super intendent, in behalf of the Chapter, ! reading for the edification of the pu ? pils a short sketch of the life of each I general as presented. In passing, she I brought to the jiotice of the gathering that a petition signed by her for the Chapter and by the heads of all the other organizations of the city and county had been sent to Governor McLeod requesting that the name of General Joseph B. Kershaw be consid ered as one of the five most out standing figures, in peace as well as war, from South .Carolina, to be carv j ed 011 the face of Stone Mountain. We are the only town in the South to furnish six Generals to the Confed eracy -and the -record, probably, can not be equalled in the United States record. After the acceptance of the gift by Mr. Richards in n most timely talk to the pupils, the audience, led by Miss Bolton at the piano and her well-trained glee club, rose and sang America, and an event long looked forward to by the John D. Kennedy Chapter U. D. C. was successfully concluded. To Have Oyster Supper There will be an oyster supper at Hermitage Community house on Sat urday nfght, November 28, at 7:30 o'clock.
