In the line, other than the hostess and hono- rees, were Mrs. Frank K. Jones, Mrs. A. E. Lominick, Mrs. O. H. Abrams, Mrs. L. E. Aull, and Mrs. C. F. Lay- ton.

Chit-Chat By CONSTANCE ARMFIELD Commencement is almost here and sweet young girl graduates and tall and handsome young men graduates will b e the center of attention of the city folk for the next few weeks —graduation gowns, graduation gifts, graduation socials, graduation speak ers—why, there will be no breathing tim e from now until the end of the first week in June. And then comes departure—College boys and girls on their way home; young people of the city off for camps; and the older ones of us off for that good old sum mer vacation whether it be North, East, or West, or just plain Lake Murray. Another June Bride An engagement that we have been expecting for quite a time has finally been announced. The bride-elect is Miss Innis Mims, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Mims. The bridegroom-elect is “Red” Clarkson, the son of the Rev. and Mrs. G. F. Clarkson of Prosperity. Innis is an" attractive girl and has such a pleas ing personality. She is a graduate of Newberry College and at present teaches in the Laurens High school Red also graduated from Newberry College and is in business in the city . . . They will be married in late June, and a home being built for them on Mayer avenue is well under construction. Missed My Guess When I guessed that Mary Frances Jones and Mildred Lominick would have a double wedding, I missed out, for these popular young’ ladies have informed me that their weddings would be exactly one week apart. Mildred will be married June 26 and Mary Frances, the following Sunday, July 3. Neither will have large wed dings but will have their respective pastors to perform the ceremonies in their respective churches after the re gular Sunday morning services. Al though the weddings will not be on the same date, both brides-elect a^e being entertained at parties on the same dates. In fact, Mary Frances and Mildred said that most all of their paries would be given together. Beginning the series of pre-nuptial events which will honor the two, was the lovely shower Thursday evening at which Mrs. G. P. Saye of Silver- street was hostess. Both girls have taught at the Silverstreet school of which Mr. Saye is superintendent, for the past several years. This school closed Tuesday, so the girls are now home making rear’; 1 * for the weddings. Mary Frances lives in the city and Mildred’s home is at Pomaria. Help The Scouts This Saturday is Girl Scout Dough nut Day in the city. Scouts of troop two will ask you to buy doughnuts at 20c a dozen, so be a friend and help them out. The girls want to sell at least 100 dozen this Saturday and goals must be reached. And too, Girl Scouts must have proper equip ment and proper training. You will help give them both by investing a little money in some doughnuts that will come in very handy over the weekend. A Colorful Event In wandering around from one place to the other Monday afternoon, I stopped by the Newberry High school for a few minutes to watch the dress rehearsal of the dance recital of Mrs. Richard Baker’s pupils to be pre sented Friday evening I found my visit being lengthened into more than an hour instead of just a few minutes for despite the fact that rehearsals are, as a rule, slow moving affairs, I found this one interesting. The scenes I happened upon were ones to be in the ballet, “The Enchanted Princess.” The costumes were pos- tively beautiful. The queen (Eliza beth Mower) and the king (Anna Margaret Lominick) dressed in rich purple and white satin were seated upon their throne. The ladies in waiting, the pages, heralds, and others made the court scene complete. Entered the Princess herself (Mary Louise Wells) dressed in exquisite pink chiffon and white fur. Prince Charming (Frances Fetner) also made his (or her) appes.rence dressed in a handsome two piece suit of black velvet trimmed in white fur. I couldn’t help wondering what each would do then. But I suppose the only solution will be to see the entire recital myself. Put this Friday even ing affair on your “must see” list. Dance Is Planned Adding to the list of many social activities planned for Newberry in the coming few weeks is the dance planned for Tuesday evening, May 24th, given by the Newberry College “N” Orchestra. The affair which be gins at 9 o’clock will be held in the American Legion hall, with the “N” Orchestra furnishing music. From all reports this dance will be tops because ages have passed since a dance was held at the Legion hall and the music will be a drawing card con sidering the fact that this local group of musicians have been much in de mand over the state. Visit In Greenville Visiting in Greenville Tuesday were Mrs. John M. Kinard, John M. Kinard, Jr., and the Misses Elizabeth and Rook Kinard who were the guests of Mrs. Kinard’s sister, Mrs. J. Y. McFall and her niece, Mrs. E. S. Toohey at the latter’s home on Highland Drive. Mrs. W. H. Ash- baugh of Poland, Ohio, and small son, William McFall, are at present visit ing Mrs. Toohey, Mrs. Ashbugh’s sis- College Banquet And Dance Held Friday evening, May 6, the juniors of Newberry College delightfully en tertained the seniors with a banquet and dance, with Luke Chaney’s orch estra furnishing the music for both affairs. The banquet, attended by 180 guests was held in the dining hall of the Col lege. Unusually beautiful, the hall was decorated in scarlet and gray streamers and bowls of mixed spring flowers created the centerpiece for the number of small tables. Place cards were red booklets containing the evening’s program and menu. Favors at each place were scarlet pennants with the letering “Newberry College, Jr.-Sr. ’38”.

Albrecht was hostess at a dinner and theatre party last Thursday evening honoring the Girl’s basketball team of the Newberry H’gh school. Mrs. Albrecht’s attrac tive and charming little daughter, Rosemary, is the team’s mascot. At card tables arranged in the re ception room and music room, covers were laid for 16 guests. Small b<w- quets of pansies to which cards were attached marked the places of the guests. A two course dinner was served by he hostess assisted by Mrs. Fred Gilbert and daughter, Rebecca Anne. The Albrecht home was lovely on the occasion in its floral decorations of pansies and roses. Immediately after the dinner the girls went to the theatre. ter. Mrs. Ashbaugh is the former Dell McFall. After her visit in Green ville she will come to Newberry for a week’s stay before returning to Ohio.

Chatter Graduates of colleges this summer who are planning to teach next fall should have no trouble getting a job for it seems as though 99 per cent of ths year’s June brides are ex-school teachers.

Maybank Enters Race For Governor Slave Ownership Cause Church Split Much has been written recently about unification of the Northern and Southern branches of Methodism but few know the cause of the split which caused the 20,000 Methodist of the South to withdraw and set up a sepa rate organization back in May, 1845. The following account is taken from an Alabama paper: “James Osgood Andrew was 60 years old when he married his second wife, Mrs. Leonora Greenwood. He had grown up in the country schools of Georgia. He had been minister to Georgia and Carolina pongreations for 20 years. For- 12 years he had been a bishop of the then undivided Methodist Episcopal Church. He was happy, successful and consecrated churchman when he came into New York a few months after his marriage to attend the General Conference of his church. JOHN HUGHES" COOPER-IS FIFTH CANDIDATE TO ANNOUNCE Columbia, May 14.—John Hughes Cooper, fifty-three-yeaar-old Colum bia attorney, entered the South Car olina gubernatorial race today with a surprise announcement of his can didacy. In a brief statement. Cooper said, “I shall seek the nomination of the governor of South Carolina in the op- eliminated in the first primary. “My platform shall be: clean, econ omical, progressive government." Cooper, a native of Williamsburg county, was a candidate four years ago for lieutenant governor but was liminated in the first primary. • Besides Cooper, those who have an nounced for governor are Wyndham M. Manning, of Sumter; Mayor Bur net R. Maybank, of Charleston; the former governor and senator, Cole L. Blease, of Columbia, and Senator Ben T. Leppard, of Greenville, state Democratic chairman. LOCAL MEN ATTEND TPA MEETING D. W. A. Neville, president of the local post TPA and R. Derrill Smith, secretary, attended tre 33rd annual State convention of the organization at Greenwood Thursday. They re port a splendid meeting and an enjoy able trip. TO GREENVILLE C. E. Hendrix, county, superintend ent of education, was a business visit or in Greenville Tuesday. Charlston, May 12.—Mayor Bur net R. Maybank today announced his entrance into the gubernatorial race with the promise of a “vigorous cam paign based on my knowledge of the needs- of our state.” “South Carolina has a wealth of undeveloped opportunities and re sources,” the thirty-nine-year-old Charleston executive said. “They can be developed. Just what is needed is action. Deeds must be substituted for words.” Gets Full Endorsement Mr. Maybank’s announcement came after the Charleston county Demo cratic convention and the Charleston city council both had gone on record unanimously requesting him to offer for the governorship. Th e mayor, pointing out that the old Charleston political bitterness has vanished, said that “As governor I believe I can unite the people of this state to work together for its best interests." He said that a state executive must be in a position to deal with the national administration, as he has been while mayor of Charleston. Agricultural industrial, and commercial prosperity encourage ment of labor and honest copltal must be among the chief policies of the governor’s office, he aoded. Hi Juniors Entertain Seniors The junior class of l>!eWberry High school honored members of the sen ior class at a banquet at the school gymnasium Friday evening. Over 200 students and faculty members were present. The gym was decorated in stream ers of blue and white the school col ors. The banquet tables wre covered with white linens and decorated with white tapers in blue holders. Crys tal vases of blue and white larkspur also decorated the tables where a two course banquet was served. At each place were miniature diplomas tied with white and blue ribbons which contained the evening’s program, me nu, class officers, and committees. Bill Gatlin, president of the jun iors, welcomed the guests and James Underwood, senior class president, re sponded. Miss Dorothy Thornton gave a tap dance number. A toast to the banquet committees was offered by Walter Goggan". Miss Martha Jane Gray gave the farewell to the seniors while Miss Nancy Hornsby, responding for the seniors, bade the juniors farewell. The program was concluded with a song by the school quartet composed of James Under wood, Hal Kohn, Ben Dawkins, and Albert Boozer. After the banquet the gym was cleared for dancing. Assisting the juniors in the entertainmnt were Miss Annie Lee Young and H. B. Wilson, members of the faculty. The Home Economics department prepared and served the banquet. But the lady whom he had just married owned a number of negro slaves. They had been left her by her departed first husband. And that was what started the whole trouble. Bishop Andrew considered it unbe coming for a mar, of God to own other men. Immediately after his mar riage he had executed legal papers renouncing all personal property rights in nis wife’s slaves. But so in tense was the feeling of the North ern delegates at the, conference against a bishop owning slaves or even being a husband of a wife who owned them, that the matter became a major issue before the conference. A resolution was introduced calling upon Bishop Andrew to desist from the exercise of his episcopal office until his connection with the owner ship of slaves should cease. The Bis hop offered to resign but the other delegates from the South refused to let him do so. Admitting slavery to be an evil, they held that the church in the South must go on preaching to slave-owners and slaves alike, after the manner of St. Paul In the Epistle to Philemon. So the vote on the res- lution was taken and when the count was made there were 110 delegates for it and 68 against. The South had been defeated. It was a result of this resolution that a “Plan of separation" was drawn up and the slave-holding states were organized into a separate, self- governing “Methodist Episcopal Church South." Organization waw completed at Louisville in May, 1845, with Bishop Andrew and Bishop Jos hua Soule presiding. These two were subsequently re cognized as the first bishops of the Southern church. Bishop Andrew re mained in office until May 1866, when he retired. He died in Mobile in 1871 at the home of his daughter, the wife if the Rev. J. W. Rush.
