HALLOWEEN AT RICHLAND.
Visitors in COMMUNICATES Annie
McMallan Entertained Ghosts.

Richland. Nov. 4.-Special: This
community was visited by y heavy,
killing frost Saturday night.
; Mrs. Sloan Bruce, John Bruce and
Miss Carmichael, Of Avalon, Ga,
spent Sunday and Monday at the
home of J. p. Stribling.
Miss Pearle Ballenger spent seye-
raj days last week in Greenville.
John Ballenger, Of Clinton. is
spending a few days at home.
One Of the most unique parties of
the season was the Halloween party
given by Miss Annie McMahan Thurs
day night. Among the first to arrive
was a very stately looking ghost that
put the hosts to guessing. One of
the boys identified him (by his feet)
to be non other than Oscar Doyle,
Of Bounty Land. AS the guests ar
rived they met two large j~ack-o'-lan-
terms on the steps. When they en-
tered the door they saw nothing but
two ghostly, white figures, who
pointed for them to enter the par
lor. This was decorated with can
dies embedded in ears Of corn.
The guests were first invited out
to witness a weird play taken from
Macbeth and carried out by three
black witches. Then came the div
ing for apples, biting the apples sus-
pended by a string, blowing out the
candles to see how many years until
they would marry, punching the
spinning pumpkin, etc. Later the
guests were invited into the dining
room, where a delicious salad course
and hot coffee was served by three
witches. AS the guests retired from
the dining room each pulled a plum
from the "punking pie" which
contained a few lines concerning
their future. This vas written with
secret ink, which was readable only
by heating over a candle. Later the
fortunes Of the guests were told;
also the girls went into a room and
peeled an apple before a mirror and
when they finished they looked up
and saw their sweetheart's face.
Marshmellows were roasted, and af-
ter a few minutes OF November vas
spent, the guests took their depar-
turC.

DR.H.W NJ COMAS ELECTED
MAYOR FOR FOURTH TIME.
He Had a Majority Of 50 Over His
Opponent.

Three times Mayor of Oakland and
elected for fourth term by the voters
Of the town Monday is the record of
DR.. Henry w. McComas, who received
the Republican nomination last Friday
night at a well attended meeting of the
Republican voters held in the Council
Chamber.
For members of the Town Council
Messrs. John W. Davis, Henry Lauer
and James w. White were nominated at
the Friday night meeting. Saturday
morning, however, Mr.. White withdrew
from the ticket and the name of Will
liam Lawton was substituted by the
proper officials.
The result of the election on Monday
was surprising in the extreme. While
it was conceded by nearly everyone that
DR.. McComas would be elected over his
opponent, Mr.. G. Semmes Hamill, Jr.,
by good majoritv-th the majority given
the successful candidate, amounting to
Ga votes, far exceeded the highest fig
ures placed by the warmest supporter
of the Republican candidate.
The councilmanic ticket named by the
Republicans was an exceptionally strong
one. OF the three nominees, two
Messrs. Davis and Lauer-w elected
by large majorities, while Mr.. Lawton
was defeated by but two votes, DR.. B.
F. Selby being the winner. having re-
ceived 131 votes as against 1919 for Mr.
Lawton.
The Council will organize Monday
night, April LIST, with four Republicans
-Messrs. Davis, Lauer, johnson and
Naylor-and two Democrats Selby
and Mr. Thos Gender
While Mr.. Lawton was defeated by
so small a majority, he feels very
highly complimented by the vote he re-
ceived az the hands of his fellowmen.
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Lauer as we'll as
DR.. Selby are three of the best known
young business men of Oakland. The
taxpayers feel that their interests will
be carefully conserved by not only these
gentlemen but by the other members of
the Council, and we feel prefectly safe
in predicting a successful administration
of public affairs by the new officials.
