Domestic Art Krhibit. ? ...--?--. - A very interesting Domestic Art J exhibit was shown in the Girl's , High School building last Wednes | day. Those who visited the exhibit were delighted with what they saw. One of the most attractive features was the fact that there were about 20 girls sitting on an elevation and wearing the dresses that they them selves had made. The articles ex hibited were varied and highly at tractive and reflected great credit upon, this department of the work of the Girl's High School. In or der that the reader may get an idea of the course given in the depart ment of Household Economics a brief summarj' is given below: Problems: 1. Sewing Bag. 2. Guest Towel. ? Table Runner. . 4. Combinations. / T>. Night Gown. 6. Slip. The first problem given in the First Year High School is a simple sewing bag. This is given in order to, teach.the children the elemen tary .stitches, such as basting, over handing, overcasting, combination, hemming. running and ; feature stitch. The next subject is a study of household linens which includes the guest towel and table runner. The principles taught on these problems are fine embroidery and coarse, embroidery, and the stitches taught are. the outline, chain, satin } and buttonhole stitches. Another i important point stressed is the j beauty of designs and color combi , nations. From these problems the j girls proceed to the making of ' undergarments, such as combina. tions, gowns and slips. A study of the. different parts of the machine and how to use it is given at this point. They are taught the careful selection of materials and laces, and to estimate the cost-of each garment. The principles taught on these problems are the different kinds of seams, different methods of putting on laces, the method of making lace joints, plackets and the working of buttonholes. Some of the more advanced pupils were allowed to make dresses in this class and were given credit for so doing. Second Year Domestic Art. Problems; 1. . Laundry Bag. .2 Cooking Apron and Cap. 3. Patching and Darning. 4. Petticoat. 5. ^.Kimono. G. Middy Suit. 7. Dress. The first problem given in the second year is the laundry bag. This is given as a review of the machine stitching and also because it is a useful problem in the home. Since the girls in this class have domestic science the following year., they are .given an opportunity of making their own caps and aprons. Every child should know how to care for her own clothes, so just at lhis time they are taught patching and darning. Then they are given such problems ns the j petticoat, kimono, middy suit, and j dress to make, which is sometimes [a review of principles already 'taught and also the additional of I new ones. The most important I point stressed in this work is the [careful selection of materials ac ; cording to their suitability, dura j bility. and cost. 1 The exhibit in domestic ail in cluded a number of each of these j problems beginning with th<- sim ple sewing bag to the advance problem of making a dress. There were also a display of note-books ; which were required of each Kir]. ? Each girl in the domestic science class was required to make a chart i which emphasized some of the I principles taught in domestic sci ence including well-balanced I menus, composition of different foods, cuts of meats, products made fn?m the different fond prin ciples, and typical foods contain ing each, how tu set a table for a formal luncheon, meat substitutes, foods harmful to the body, the most nourishing foods for the sick, proper diets for pepole of different ages and occupations, and many other subjects of like importance. In addition to this, ?the girls in each class have pre pared and served a breakfast and a luncheon. Those in the senior class prepared .and served a very formal luncheon on May 11th. / TOBACCO MARKETING ASSOCIATION Warehousemen and Field &jWorkers^ Meet in Florence -Outlook Most Encowag j mg. j_? ? j Florence.

June 14.?Gov. Wilson G. Harvey left this morning early for Asheville, where he attends the annual convention of the South Carolina Bankers' Association, which convened in the "Land of the Sky" capital last evening. Governor Harvey Is 1 to speak twice at the. convention... One of his speeches will be delivered as. a sort of dialogue with Governor Morrison, of North Carolina. It will be restaging of the old-time drama entitled, "What the Govern or of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina." And yet there will be something entire ly, different about it. Both the governors are tee-totalers.. What they will say to each other is not known, though the little dual speech, will probably be accom panied with a. toast, drunk in grape juice or ice tea. Governor Harvey will also deliv er one of the- main addresses of the bankers' convention. Before leav ing the capital, this morning the chief magistrate was asked what he would talk on.. He stated that he had been, thinking out his speech, and it would deal with law-enforce ment, calling the attention of the bankers that it is up to them to aid in law enforcement as much as for anyone else; that without a strong sentiment in favor of law enforcement, the task.of enforcing the laws is made difficult. Before leaving, Governor Harvey was -asked about the petition for the commutation of the sentence of Jesse Gappins, one of the murder trio which dies in the state peni tentiary Friday, from death to.life imprisonment. "I'll be out of the city till after the execution." the governor said: "and I have taken no action in regard-to the petition. I have been shown no reason why the decision of the court should be changed, and it will not be changed," he said. DEMOCRATIC ^CONGRESSMAN '--UNSEATED Thomas W.

This. certificate entitles the bearer to one way fare. Quite a large number of delegates will attend this year it. is believed, judging from the number of inquiries that have come to the office of the state com mander. CHINESE ? ' ARE FLEEING South China Leader's Army Advancing Northward Kiukiang, June .13. ? Wealthy Chinese, with their families and valuables, are fleeing from Nan ehang. capital of Kianshi Prov ince, as the army of Dr. Sun Yat Sen the South China leader, ad vances northward. Looting at the hands of the southern troops is feared. American missionaries at Nanchang are also prepared to leave if the forces of Wu Pei Fu. the military power of the Peking j government, must evacuate Nan- j cluing. The American gunboat Isabel is stationed here ready to protect i American interests if necessary, j British vessels also are here. Dr. Sun's army has captured i Kanohow Ki, in the south off Kiangsi Province. A report from j the south June 10 said the forces of VVu Pei Fu were retreating! northward. If David R.
