Meets at King&ree and Arranges for Observance
of Field Day.
The regular monthly meeting of
I the Teachers' Association of Williamsburg
.county was held in the
Kingstree school auditorium Saturday.
Prof W E Dennison of the University
of South Carolina was on the
program for an address but forjsome
reason was unable to come. As it
was the last meeting to be held before
the annual Field day, the entire
program was given over to Dusiuess.
Twenty-five or thirty teachers from
all sections of the county were in
attendance.
The first matter considered was
whether to hold Field day exercises
this year. After discussion.it was so
decided and April 4-5 chosen as the
time.
The same program as last year
was decided upon, except that there
will be no parade, and the participants
in athletic events will be divided
into two classes according to
their height, instead of high or elementary
school pupils.
The subject of the participation of
the Kingstree school in the exercises
was also considered. For the past
year or two this school has not entered
the contests, since, being the
largest school in the county, some
schools might maintain that they
I would have no chance. However, it
| was decided that Kingstree enter
' the exercises this year.
The following committees were
appointed to arrange for these exercises:
i Reading?Misses Mamie Foster,
Greelyville; Marie Jackson; Union;
Lula Logan, Kingstree.
Spelling?Prof E Q Vaughn, John,
sonville; Misses Cora Odom,Venters;
, Lilian Salters, Cedar Swamp.
Composition?Prof W M Bonner,
, Greelyville; Miss Elise Rollins, Hemingway;
Prof M F Montgomery,

A Card from Miss Weaver.
To Whom it May Concern:?
i It has been rumored by certain
> ladies in Kingstree, that I am an
unlicensed nurse. I wish to say,
both for my protection and also the
doctors' for whom I nurse, that this
statement is absolutely fal&. I will
be glad to show my license to any
> one, and especially to those who
' made the erroneous statement.
