SHALL DANCES BE HELD? SPARTANS NOW ASKING Proposed "Exposleon Dances" Causes V(orous )Controversy in Spartan. burg. 1S9artanburg, March 20.-Shall the so't music of .the orchestra, the bril liant lights of the ball .room, and thu light, fantastic step / and the jazz be barred from Spartanburg? That is the question -which today has stirred from one end to 'the other the "City of Success". Only a mpnth atfer Billy Sufiday closed a six -week revival, and before the tabernacle Is torn away, t'he 20, 000 persons who reside here find them 'selves face to face with this iproblem. Many Iersons, recalling Mr. Sunday's Temaiiks nbout the moral effect ' of dancing, are bitterly opposing the danc es which -it is proposed to hold here. Others assort that there is no reason why the youth of Spa-rtanburg should 'be denied partiipation in 'this pastime. It all came about overnight, so to speak, and the pinnacle was reached Sunday morning when the members "of the Bethel Mlethodist church of this city, after a .brief but interesting dis cussion, wvent on record as oiposing the dances -to be held this t'eek and which have been advertised as the "'ExaposItion (Dances". A lengthy communication aplyeared in the morning news)aper of Spartan iburg this morning, signed by three well known members of the Bethel church, all of whom are prominent in the pro fessional and business life of Sparwtak -burg. In the same issue there appear ed a )aid advertisemen-t, inserted by some interested persons, presumably those who had lead the opposition to the dances, calling upon the fathers and mothers of Spartanburg to prevent thc - daughters from attending the dances. In the advertisement mention was smade of the recent meetings held here by Mlr. Sunday and the insinuation, if not the direct statement, was made that it would be almost a sacrilege for the city to so soon forget the teachings of Statement of the Condition of the PEOPLES LOAN & EXCH.

The spirit of youth .shall not -be quenched; the de sire to find exvression in dance for the %iusical side of one's nature shall not 'be forbidden, say those who are promoting the dances. - HIowever, the Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce, which is .promoting its exposition, is not behind the dances, it was stated today by 'E. B. Walker, scoretary of the trade :body. Mr. Walk cr stated thdt the dances were to be held at a local hotel, an out of the city orchestra was to furnish the music and the Chamber of Commerce was in no way resiponsible for the dances or the name "Exposition dances."
