On Tuesday evening .last there was presented at the school auditorium an "Evening of Novelties," under the direction of Mrs. G. A. McElveen, with a minstrel scene at the close arranged by E. 0. The cast was made of local talent and the program consisted of comical musical numbers, for the most part, withjdenty of variety throughout. The proceeds will be used by the musical department of the school to buy musical history books badly needed for the work of the advanced pupils. Chief of Police Kinder no doubt prevented some of the old boys from getting a supply of Thanksgiving booze when he intercepted an automobile at the Black river bridge on Wednesday of last week and took therefrom six or eight gallons of what is believed to be a pretty good specimen "Three C's"?Clarendon county corn, a brand yet less popular than the "Three .Feathers'' of old but with a very similar kick. The liquor, car and driver, a young mechanic, were taken in charge by Chief Kinder, the latter being later released on $100.00 bond. v Kingstree people are proud of the showing made by the young athlete from this town, Vardell Nesmith, who has this season played end on the Citadel freshman team. In the Citadel-Carolina freshman game, Nesmith was spoken of as the star of the Citadel team, and in the line-up for allstate freshman team, Nesmith was one of the three ends mentioned, and was left off the final selection only because of his not being as tall and as heavy as the other star freshman ends. His many friends were glad to see Vardell Nesmith in town during the Thanksgiving holidays. * On Thanksgiving evening Miss Emmie McConnell was luM^s at^^P lightfu! party for t^^Bfcf^rset. The house was appropraraly decorated for the occasion *ith graceful festoons of trailing Spanish moss and branches of brilliaiftly colored leaves. After the guests had assembled, cards for a contest were given out in which the answers were all titles of Shake ? pearian plays. In this test of wits, iMiss Jane Gilland-was most successful and was presented with a box of candy. Out in the yard, in the I light of the bonfire, a shooting con- 1 test was held. Every one took a shot a at the target and to Miss Mary Cath- I erine Epps was awarded the girl's prize for coming nearest the bull's J eye. The remainder of the even- tl ing was passed in the favorite pas- v time of progressive conversation, tl Hot chocolate and cakes were served tl during the evening. s Parent-Teacher Meeting. ti a On Monday afternoon the Christ- S mas meeting of the Parent-Teachers V Association was held in the school h auditorium. The meeting was in v charge of Misses McDaniel and Speig- ? ner and Mrs. M. F. Montgomery, of h the second and third grades respec- d tively. The opening number was a ri violin solo by the Rev. Frank Hau< ti kins, accompanied by Miss Julia Hall, ti Next came a reading by Miss Jane o Gilland, followed a vocal solo by Mrs. W. S. Gilland, accompanied by Miss o Julila Hall. Mr. H. Bueck then gave o a very interesting short talk on the 1 purpose of Education Week, which p was followed by a round table dis- P cussion. r The finance committee, through the n chairman, Miss Lancaster, announced that there would be a moving picture n on Friday week given for the benefit of the Parent-Teacher Association. F The title of the picture cannot be ? announced yet, but will be in the near 1< future. Too much cannot be said in 1 praise of Manager C. B. Boswell for n his public-spiritedness. in giving these ? benefit pictures for the worthy causes 9 of the community. Miss Lancaster a also announced that the plan of ask- A ing each pupil of the school to con- C tribute five cents a month for the up- h keep of the school had been adopted K and explained to the children, all of t whom seemed very much interested d in the plan. Miss Lancaster also told of a play that is being rehearsed by ^ the first four grades of the school & and that will be presented the last night before school closes for the Christmas holidays and for which admission will be charged at the rate of ten arid twenty cents, the proceeds to be given to the Parent- h Teachers Association. p A discussion followed as to the ad- y visability of undertaking a Christmas ji Carnival at this time or of keeping V the idea in mind and giving the carni- ci val later in the year. The only argu- f< ment against giving the carnival at r the Christmas season is the rush that " it would entail. A committee consisting of Mesdames B. A. Brown, chairman, C. H. Singleton, T. E. Ar- ^ rowsmith, W. K. Mcintosh, L. W. ~ /J Gilland and W. I. Nexsen was appointed to assist the Finance Commit- ^ tee in the undertaking and to decide ^ whether or not it is feasible to under- a take the affair at this time. The committee appointed to under- ? take the improvement of the school grounds reported through its chair- man, Mrs. C. H. Singleton, that noth- q ing could be done to carry out the ? plans of the committee until funds ^ were available for the purpose. The sixth grade had the largest percentage of mothers present and was awarded the dollar that the as- L sociation gives monthly to the grade whose mothers are most loyal in their attendance at The meetings, and which is used to beautify the school room in any desired way. Mrs. L. W. Gilland and Mrs. J. g B. Steele were appointed to assist Misses Lynch and Pruitt in getting up the program for January. j At the Conclusion of the meeting the committee in charge served .hot f chocolate and dainty sandwiches, o McCutchen-McClary! On Saturday, December 2, Mrs. Addie McCutchen and Mr. Verdo McClary were quietly married at the Baptist parsonage by the Rev. F. C. j Hawkins.
