To Mothers Club
The Marion Davis Mothers
Club met Wednesday night, No
vember second with Mrs. Y.* T.
Dickert on Nance street. There
were 13 members present and
one visitor.
The meeting was called to order
by the president, Mrs. Olin Inab-
inet, after which devotionals were
conducted by the chaplain, Mrs.
Orin Amick. Mrs. Oscar Stone :
secretary, read the minutes and
Mrs. Catherine Jarrett read the
treasurer’s report in the absence
of Mrs. Joe Hipp.
There were also reports from
the various committees. The visit
ing committee reported that the
sick members had been visited
and cards of sympathy had been
sent to those who had been be
reaved. The scouts had collected
$35 from their rummage sale, and
their members had Shown their
appreciation to the folk who gave
their place for the sale by making

blood mobile.
The president appointed Mes-
dames Jack Hove, Hugh Crooks,
Harper Wherry, Miller We&singer
and F. L. Cox to assist in serving
the bands for the Christmas pa
rade.
There was a discussion about

tee.
The business was concluded,
a/nd Miss Phyllis Shealy, daughter

titled, “By a Blue Lagoon.” There
were interesting stories told by
Mesdames Harper Wherry and A1
don Bedenbaugh.
The living and dining rooms of
Mrs. Dickert’s home were attrac
tively decorated with fall flowers
arranged by Mrs.- L. S-. Wilson.
Bulldogs Top
Indian Club
The Newberry Indians dropped
their hard fought battle with the
Citadel, 13-7, but many things
were learned by the defeat.
For the first time this season,
the Indian defenses were below
par. Never before has any chal
lenging back broken through the
Tribe defense for a run of 64
yafds is did Budgie Broome in the
Citadel contest.
The Indian offensive machine
’was the main factor which kept
Newberry in the game. The Red
skins were continually knocking
on the scoring door, but time af
ter time the opportunity to score
slipped away as breaks went the
other way.
^ Reserve halfback Bobby Rowe,
a freshman from Georgetown,
stole the show from veteran half
backs Grady Ray and Paul Davis
as he racked up 92 yards rushing
In only 7 carries for an average
of 13.14 yards per carry. Rowe
also connected with 2 passes in
three attempts for 64 yards pass
ing. The shifty Rowe took a pitch-
out from Danny Brabham and
streaked 29 yards to pay jdirt to
make the only Indian tally of the
game. . > ;
With his show against the
Citadel, Rowe is likely to see
much more game action in the
future. He now stands as No. 1
halfback to fill the shoes of grad-
u a ting back Grady Ray. Rowe has
the distinction of being the first
freshman to score this year. - ,
A tough game is again on the
schedule for the Redskins. The
Hatters ot Stetson pose as a team
with the incentive to defeat a
team from South Carolina, after
sharing a 6-6 tie with P. C. last
week. v
Kirkland hopes to cope this in
centive with the Indian fighting
spirit. The Indians are - hard at
work this week to overcome the
defects which came to the sur
face against the Citadel. Chief
concern of Coach Kirkland and
his aids will be polishing up an
defensive fundamentals. When the
defensive tactics improve favor
ably, the stress will be on a type
of offense to penetrate the seven
and nine man lines which the In
dians have been running np
against.
All-State candidate tackle Olin
McCurry will be out most of the
week with a painful leg infection.
MoCiirry has missed the better
part of the last two contests by
virtue of his injuries. It is doubt
ful if he will play against Stetson
at all.
Tales Of Edisto
In Print Again
Tales of Edisto, by Nell S. Gray-
don, out of print since the middle
of September, is once more avail
able at book stores throughout the
state, following the release of the
second printing by the R. L. Bry
an Company of Columbia on No
vember 11.
Proving itself unusually popu
lar with Carolina readers, Mrs.
Graydon’s book was published on
June 27 and sold out within ten
weeks’ time. The second printing
is in response to the requests of
the book sellers and many indi
viduals.
Reviewers have received Tale3
of Edisto enthusiastically.
Bryan Collier in The News and
Courier, writes that Tales of Bd-
isto “is destined, I suspect, for a
durable place in the literature of
the Lowcountry. Nell S. Gray don
is obviously an excellent reporter,
which means that she is a precise
and systematic observer of the
human scene . . . Her title defines
her purpose, and she has achiev
ed it with wit, skill and sublety.”
Whitmire Rites

Alva Frank Moss, 58, of Whit
mire, died suddenly last Sunday
morning while on his way to
church.
Mr. Moss was horn in Lancas
ter county, son of the late Char
les and Mannie Cole Moss. For
the past 21 years he had made his
home in Whitmire and was em
ployed in the local mills. He was
a veteran of Warld War I and a
member of the First Baptist con
gregation of Whitmire.
Survivors include his widow,
Mrs. Laura Potts Moss; four sons,
Alva, Jr., Charles Willian and
Harry of Whitmire; two sisters,
Mrs. Maude Caskey of Fort Mill,
and Mrs. J. M. Helms, Sr., of Oc

Glenn and Robert of Rock Hill and
Slade Moss of Fort Mill, and H
grandchildren.
Scot Guards To
Be Heard Soon
In Charlotte
When the contingent of 108
braw Scots Guards, with their
glistening scarlet tunics and black
bearskin bonnets, descends on the
Carolinas on December first, staid
citizens living within 100 country
miles of Charlotte, N. C., should
take precautions.
For, reports the conservative
Christian Science Monitor, “One
piper and one drummer can
create more of a din than a small
fry birthday party, and one hund
red should be audible across the
Rocky Mountains from Denver to
Salt Lake.”
“The effect on some people/'
states the Monitor, “had best be
left to the imagination rather
than to attempt description. We’d
call in our children only to keep
them from running away with the
band; tie up our dogs just to pre
vent them from climbing trees
with the squirrels; stuff cotton in
our ears only to restrain our
selves from jotting the dancers
mid putting on an unseemly exhi
bition.”
The Guards, Including the Regi
mental Band, Massed Pipers, and
Highland Dadicera are here on a
good-will tour, arranged by S. Hu-
rok, with the permission of the
British Government. These bonny,
stalwart soldiers are the same
troops tha£ thousands of Ameri
can tourists have seen mount
gua^d arid perform on historic oc
casions at Her Majesty’s Pal
aces.
Martial music has excited the
human spirit since the days of an
tiquity. The poet Milton in de
scribing an ancient battle refers
to, “trumpets loud and clarions,”
and “Sonorous metal blowing mar
tial sounds.”
The early English marches dif
fered in temp from those of the
French and the German. The
French Marshal Biron once re
marked to Sir Roger Williams a
soldier of Queen Elizabeths’ that
the English march being beaten
by the drum was slow, heavy and
sluggish.”
Williams bon mot was, "That
may be true, but slow as it is, it
has traversed your country from
one end to the other.”
The moder march, or those
closest in form to the ones play
ed by the guards, seem to have
originated in Germany during the
30 Years War. In any case the
repertoire of the Scots Guards is
one of the most complete in the
world today, and according to re
ports from the Edinburgh Festi
val this summer, their volume is
unmatched.
The performance in Charlotte—
fartherest point South in the
East to be reached by the Guards
-will take place in the Queen
City’s new 10,*0 l 00-seat coliseum.
Local sponsor is Clan Donald—a
federation of ‘Clans Macdonald,
Macqueen, and MacAlister—which
plans to give a U. S. College
scholarship to a student from
Scotland. v
Tickets are $1, $2, $2.60, and
$3 and mail orders are accepted

Day Of Triumph
Be Shown At
Wells Theater
Hollywood’s first full-scale por
trayal of Christ in 27 years is
well worth the long wait. “Day of
Triumph” will be shown at the
Wells Theater on Monday. Tues
day, and Wednesday, November
14, 15 and 16.
Members of the clergy and edu
cators who saw the film at a pri
vate showing at the Weils several
weeks ago, were unanimous in
their praise of this unusual film.
Among remarks made by members
of the County Ministerial Associa
tion were these: “The picture is mfigi
powerful and great. I hope all m?
people will .see this religious pic
ture an dthe community. The need
of our wprld is more pictures like
this. It was very inspiring”; "It
Is excellent, feveryone should see
it”; . "Ain Excellent film I
mend it to anyone”; “A ;r
approach, beautifully don#, a pic
ture that I would like my people
to' see”; "Splendid and accurate
presentation of Christ’s life. Bean
tifully done."
From two of the educators of
the county came the remarks
"One of the best I’ve ever seen. I
highly recommend it to people of
all ages.” "A wonderful picture. |
Everybody should see this."
Done with an unusual rever
ence for its sacred subject, and an
integrity to its Scriptural source
material that is remarkable, "Day
of Triumph” has a spiritual qual- ^
ity which sets 'Jt apart from the*
ordinary entertatoment vehicle. *
The Savior is portrayed.'in “Day
of Triumph” by Robert Wilson, a
relatively unknown actor by. Hol
lywood standards, who does a
magnificent job in the sensitive
role. Actor James Griffith plays
Judas, and Joanne Dm is seen as g|§
Mary Magdalene.
