Mrs. Lon Dickey was the hos
tess at a beautiful afternoon re-
ception Saturday in honor of Mrs.
Harry Clyde McFadden who left
Sunday to spend the Summer
months at Warm Springs and
points in Western North Carolina.
Fifty ladies we're invited to meet
Mrs. McFadden between the hours
of five and seven o'clock. The re-
ception was held in the large
double parlors on the second floor
of the Lee Grant, and was one OF
the most elaborate of the season.
The lights were covered with
shades in a light yellow, and the
candelabra held yellow tapers.
Tall palms were grouped about,
and the tables and stands held
great bowls and vases of feathery
fern fronds, sweet peas and mas
turtiums, while the massive man
tel was banked in yellow roses.
The receiving party stood near the
door before a group of tall palms,
and were the first to greet the call
ers. They were Mrs. Dickey, Mrs.
McFadien, Mrs. James G. Knapp,
Mrs. Lee X. Brown and Mrs. Ber-
nard Watts. In the next room
Mrs. William Rogers and Mrs.
Howard Harris served punch from

was served by five members OF the
younger set, Miss Maud Glover,

HON. JOSEPH H. HALL
WILL INTRODUCE
BILL IN HOUSE
0utliQ: Of Plan to B. Proposed

Joe Hill Hall who was very
bitterly opposed to Gov. ele ct
Smith in a t years campaign,
claiming that Mr.. Smith had stolen
his thunder, that is robbed him of
his platform, now proposes to in
troduce at the opening of the SEES
sion of the legislature bill intend
ed to disfranchise the negro.
His plan is a little different from
that outlined by Mr.. Smith in his
campaign, but it will accomplish
about the same result, and we con-
fess that we like, it although we
are not particularly stuck on Joe.
Mr.. HALLS bill will be in the
shape of a proposed amendment.
The bill will provide for the es-
tablishment of a court in each
county of the State, which court
shall have the right and power to
restore to any person who has been
disfranehiscd the right to vote up
on his submitting proof to the tri-
bunal to which he applies for the
restoration of his right of suffrage
that he posses the following quail
hcations:
