But though we shall miss her greatly we wish for her the greatest happiness in all the world. And may those wedding bells cease ringing until the end of school. THE WEDDING BELLS HAVE BROKEN UP THAT OLD FACULTY OR OURS. On Sunday, March 2nd, the wed ding bells rang again for a mem- t>er of the McCormick Faculty.

Mr. Padgett, an engineer with the •State Highway Department is bet ter known to the people of Mc Cormick as “.^onzi” Padgett. Those of us at High School will miss Miss Atkinson, as she was al ways a friend whd was ready to join us in our joys and sympathize in our troubles.

Several members of the organ ization assisted by Mr. McCrorey and his Agriculture boys began the work of leveling the ground and preparing it for flowers and shrub bery which were to be planted. The boys worked hand and faithfully all morning, and by the time school was dismissed, had planted a row of flowers around the build ing. Beauty is a thing that we all need and here at school where we spend so many hours each day we should have plenty that is beauti ful. We love our school; we believe In it; we think that it is as fine a school as could be found any where; but after all the greatest room in the world is room for im- orovement. W. S. MR. BLEDSOE SPEAKS AT CHAPEL. Reverend Bledsoe spoke to the student body and faculty at the regular chapel period Wednesday morning. As usual, his talk was very interesting. He began by reading what is known as the love chapter of the Bible—the 13th chapter of First Corinthians. Love was the theme of his speech. He gave several illustrations of the influence of love, showing how love can help us in everything we do and showing how utterly worth less our sacrifices are without the greatest thing in the world behind them—Love.

F. L. C. CAROLINA GLEE CLUB GIVES PROGRAMME. On Thursday evening, March 6, at 8 p. m., the Glee Club from the University of South Carolina gave a programme in the High School building. The Glee Club is under the direction of Mr. Maurice Mat- terson. The programme was divided in to three parts. During the first part the Glee Club sang various numbers, one of the most inter esting being three selections from the oratorio, “The Tower of Ba bel” These three pictures were “Sons of Shem,” “Sons of Ham,” and “Sons of Japheth.” Another impressive selections was “Guns.” Mr. Miller Simpson, pianist .played a- group of pieces, and Mr. Oliver Edwards, tenor, sang. The second part consisted of popular selections, sung by Mr. Parker and Mr. Edwards. Mr. Chase danced delightfully. The third part consisted of a short skit, the theme of which was a husband’s cowardice and his at tempts to prove that he was brave. The skit ended most surprisingly. As a closing number, the entire Slee Club sang the Alma Mater, •We Hail Thee, Carolina.” Nurse Tells How CARDUI ~ J Helped Her Mrs.W.A. Cox, a well-known pro fessional nurse, of Burnside, Ky., writes: r I was in very bad health, and only weighed 110 pounds. I read in the papers about Cardui, and thought I would give it a try-out. After I had taken one bottle, I could see that I was improving. After I had taken it a month or two, I began to gain, and I weigh at present 168, and Save weighed that for some time. I am now 55 yean old, and can do as much work as the average middle-aged woman can. "I would advise any woman, who is weakly and in a run down condition, to try Car dui, but not to expect one bottle to make her well. 1 take two or three bottles a year, now, and I feel fine.” CARDUI USED BY WOMEN FOR OVER 50 YEARS dered where you’d left them.” Take Thedford’a Black-Dmught for Constipation, Indigestion, and Biliousness. E . <8 , Adults Contract Children's Diseases Adults can, and do, contract many children’s diseases. And, usually, they suffer from them much more than children do. For instance, many adults contract worms, an ailment usually associated with children. Sometime3 they suffer intensely and take expen sive medical treatments, without reali zing that worms are the cause of their troubles. Yet, the symptoms arc the same as in children, loss of appetite : the teeth and rest- anus, _ _ same medicine that surely and harmlessly ex pels round and pin worms from children will do the same for adults — White’s Cream Vermifuge, which you can get at STROMS’ DRUG STORE I know a girl whose face was her fortune, but she was arrested for counterfeiting. Albert was almost through with his reading lesson when he came to a word he could not oronounce. “Barque,” prompted Miss Lan caster. Albert looked at his class mates and laughed. “Barque, Albert!” exclaimed the teacher harshly. Albert looked up at Miss Lan caster and cried out, “Bow-wow!” doubtable rolling pin. Tom Carr, just back from a long absence was among the guests. To the surprise and joy of all pres ent, Mary Gold, supposedly dead, came with Mr. Carr. Barney Google slouching in with Sunshine, brought a wave of laughter from the audience.

National Program of Automobile Chamber will reach $15,000,000, scrapping 400,000 old automobiles. Sixty-nine thousand unfit auto mobiles will be removed from the highways of the South during the coming year in an effort which is part of a national Highway Safety Plan undertaken by various com panies in the automobile industry, as announced by the National Au tomobile Chamber of Commerce. The program will involve the ex penditure of approximately $2,600,- 000 in the Southern States. Nat ionally, the motor companies plan to scrap 400,000 old automobiles in 1930, at a cost of about $15,000,000. The number of cars which it is estimated will be scrapped in each of the Southern states is as fol lows: Virginia, 6,060 North Carolina 6,640 South Carolina 3,240 Georgia 4,260 Florida 3,960 Alabama 5,490 Louisiana 4,490 Mississippi 3,760 Tennessee 5,860 Arkansas 3,620 Texas 21,210 The program is characterized as “perhaps the greatest single safety move in industrial history,” by Alvan Macauley, president of the Automobile Chamber, and former chairman of its Street Traffic Committee. “This widespread experiment will strike right at the heart of the unsafe vehicle problem by eliminating a hugh block of those cars which are in the poorest con dition,” says Mr. Macauley. One of the hazards of the high- v/ay situation has been the rattle trap car which keeps re-appear ing on the road after it has pre sumably been sent to the discard. The aim of this program is to guarantee the actual scrapping of the vehicle. The Plan will be worked out by each company par ticipating, in line with its gener al sales policies and the volume of its production. R. H.
