Mrs. J. W. Davis and little son returned

ind when the family arrived at their

of the Presbyterian congrega"?

Little Dan Bradham, son of Mr. and
Mrs. D. E. Bradham, who was with j
his parents at Chase City, V'a., sever- J
al days ago sustained a fall which i
resulted in the braking of his right
arm. Infection followed and the little
fellow was brought to Florence
where it was found ne<jessary to amputate
the member above the elbow.
Mr. S. B. McGill, uncle of the child
was in Florence Tuesday when the
operation was performed. Deep sym
pathy is felt here for the little boy
and his family.
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,
