The meeting was then turned over

it is called "The Lavure Paris."# The

French, Nationality. This author
painted her own picture by posing
before a mirror, painting what waa
reflected therein. This is her most
famous painting. 'The portrait of the
artist and daughter expresses the tenderness
and affection of mq^ernal
love. The color scheme is well carried
out and blended also. Then Miss
Fewell gave each ilub member a recipe
or cook book, based on "Arm and

some good demonstrations on how to (
make many attractive gifts out of (
inner tuhes and -cloth, and other materials.
We got many ideas and, hints
by a display of the work the N. Y. A.
and*club girls are doing. This shows
us that we can save lots, of money
by making more of our Christmas
gifts and get a lots more pleasure
but of our work. Miss Fewell gave
us many good points that we shodld
remember when purchasing or selecting
our gifts. Little gifts that one
makes may All a real need if carefully.

personal and also express the
personality of the giver. She told us
what gifts to select for children as
well as adults and gave some goOd
suggestions on how to wrap our gifts
attractively, telling some of the things
we could use to add a decorative and
'artistic touch to our Christmas gifts.
If we study and plan these points we
should know how to select attractive
gifts that please as well as how to
wrap them attractively^ for a pimple,

it is- much better if we have a ventilated

Florence Defeated
By Camden High
Florence, Nov, 12.?-The Camden
Bulldog* continued their uudUputed
march toward the state championship
by oompleiely demoralising a game
J Yellow Jacket eleven yesterday afternoon
op jlh'kM field by the one-ttlded
score of ,33 to 0.
The visitors, presenting one of the
'classiest tdi^ans to perforin on u local
gridiron ni several yours, kept the
situation well lu hand,- tallying two
touchdowns In the Initial quarter and
one in each of the remaining periods.
The Camden forward wall was almost
impregnable, holding "the locals to a
lone first down, while the visitors
were chalking up 14.
For the Jackets, Charlie lJeiiBinger
played a jam-up game, making almost
half of the tackles. Julian Mc- 1
Call also showed on defense, making
several of the hardest tackles of the
afternoon. Myers Hicks waa the local
outstanding offensive performer, making
several nice gaius and booliug the
ball to perfeotlon. He was robbed
of one 65-yard kick by an offside penalty.
' West, triple-threat back of the Bulldogs,
was the spearhead of the visitors'
attack, which was centered
around Raley and Richards, both having
showed unusual ability. After
amassing a sizeable lead the visiting
coach, John ViUepigue, relegated most
of his regulars to the sidelines and
was content to let his second stringers
carry on, as Camden plays Easley,
Upstate champs, for the state title In
Columbia next Friday night on Melton
field.
Late in the fourth quarter, S. Watts,
right tackle for Camden, was carried
from the field and rushed to the McLeod
infirmary, where an examination
showed that he was suffering
from a wrenched neck. He was dismissed
from the hospital last night.
Watts had played a -whale of a
game at bis tackle berth before being
forced to leave the field with the inJury.
The locals failed to complete ,the
lone pass attempted while they fumbled
twice but managed to recover
both times. The visitors fumbled four
times, recovering only once, while of
the Beven passes attempted . three
were completed, three fell incomplete
and Harry Deberry, alert secondary
Yuan for the Jackets, Intercepted the
other toss.
Florence missed the services of
Captain Hutchinson, left guard, who
watched the entire game from the
sidelines due to an injured leg.
The contest was staged In a driving
rain which made play very uncertain
as the players skidded around in a
quagmire of mud.
The Little Rock, Ark., conferen(?
of the -Methodist Episcopal church at
Hope, Ark., voted 198 to 1 for unification
of the three branches of Methodism.
Because of the urgent demands that j
congress dp something quick toward
helping business get on its feet, there
is a possibility that the ambitious legislative
program of the administration
before congress, may be sidetracked
for the moment while the solons take
up the pressing problems of business.

FROM HONQ KONQ TO NINETY-SIX
THIS DOQ TRAVELED BY HIM8ELP
This is the story of a dog that
globe trotted all alone from Hong
Kong, China, to Ninety-Six, South
Carolina. He is a native of Shanghai,
a pedigreed wire-haired terrier,
he bears the good old American name
"Spot" and his master .is First Lieutenant
John H. Williamson, of the
United States Army air corps re-,
serves. - -
Lieut, and Mrs. Williamson are now
visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs.,
Henry Williamson near Nlnety:8ix |
following their recent landing at New ^
York on a round-the-world cruise from
Shanghni. So is "Spot" a visitor, but
he didn't come with them and he beat
them to Ninety-Six by two days, although
they started together.
When Lieut. Williamson left Shanghai
a little more than seven weeks
ago he wanted to bring his pet along,
believing that it would be a long time
before he went to China again, so he'
"got by" fnspection with. "Spot" in a
Chinese bag. '
They sailed away, the lieutenant,
and*"Spot," and had a pleasant voyage
to Hong Kong where their ship
docked for a brief period. "Spot,"
having never traveled before, decided
it .was the place to get off and he
debarked without looking back to see
if his master followed. And Lieut.
Williamson, having noticed that his
dog had the run of the ship, happened
not to be looking.
But when the vessel set sail again
and had gone sopie distance out of
Hong Kong, "Spot" wasn't present.
The ship was searched fore and aft,
up and down, but there was no canine
traveler to be found, after the purser
himself had taken a hand in efforts to
track him down. Then a wireless
was sent to Hong Kong, after Lieut.
Williamson had given a minute description
of "Spot" and representatives
of the steaibship company were
Instructed to find the fugitive, if possible.
"Of course, I thought my dog would
never^be found," said Lieut. Williamson,
"but when we stopped at Manila;
faintly hoping that he might by* some
ohance be located. 1 told General
Holbrook, a friend of ours whom we
visited a day or two, that I had lost
my dog and asked him if he would
mind having "Spot" shipped to his
home. . He agreed to take charge of
"Spot" mid said be would be glgd to
send him to Ninety-Six If he ever
showed up In Manila.
"Well, we tmuea away from Manila
for Singapore," continued the airman,
"and imagine my surprise when we
docked there to get a radiogram from
Hong Kong advising me that my dog
had been found.
"What shall we do with him, now
that we've got him?" the flDders inQuired,
... ?. ... ;;
"I immediately advised them to ship
him to Qeneral Holbrook at Manila,
and wo proceeded on our way ?tQ
"Penang, to Colombo, to Bombay, to
Suez, to Alexandria and Anally to New
York. I wondered how long it would
take 'Spot" to get to Ninety-Six and
I wondered still more If I'd ever see
him again."
But Lieut. Williamson didn't have
any idea what a traveler "Spot" was.
He shipped from Manila to Vancouver
and there caught another ride.
(General Holbrook having mapped his
journey) by train across the continent
to Ninety-Six.
Two dnys before he expected his
son. Henry Williamson?and Mr. Williamson
up to now hasn't cared much
for dogaj?received a notice from the
agent at Ninety-Six that a shaggy dog
was there for him. He wont up and
found "Spot" perfectly comfortable in
a crate addressed titr^'Lieut. John H.
Williamson, Ninety-Six, S. C.," and he
wondered what was the matter.
ywo days later, last Wednesday,
Lieut, and Mrs. Williamson arrived
by automobile from New York and
after the greetings were over one of
the first things his mother told blm
was: "John, your dog is already hard."
And "Spot" bounded out to meet
his master.?Greenwood Index-Jourm
