Ollie Branyon, n handsome Soutl,
Carolina boy. who formerly lived here.
came down on visit last week and
when he left for Kern county, Sunday.
his young friends here gathered at the
station and dumped a whole grocery
store full OF rice on his trail. Ollie
wasn't married then and he isn't mar
rjed now. but his friends made the
whole train load of folks believe that
he was on his wedding trip. Ollie's
trunks were decorated with old shoes
and other relics and he even wore the
customary nervousness of the regula-
tfon groom. and he spent two days in
combining South Carolina rice out of
his hair. The passengers all smiled
and nodded and expressed curiosity.
and 1t was great relief for Ollie to
break away and escape to the oil fields

to Banning he will either not come at
all or really become a loving husband

South Carolina Pupils and Ander'

Get Benefit Of Rate

Anderson county school officials and
patrons OF the schools have always
believed that the price of text books
for use in South Carolina schools ie
too high and they will therefore learn
with pleasure that slight reduction
has been made in the cost OF two tey
books used in the public schools and
1t is believed that additional reduc.
tions may later be obtained on other
books.

tendent OF education, has been in
formed Of reductions in the price OF
two textbooks now in use In the public
schools. Thompson's United States

will sell for 65 cents instead of 70
cents. Webster's High School die

tenth, eleventh grades will sell for SO
cents instead of 80 cents.
Both of these textbooks were adopt

Of 1911. The prices then. agreed up
on were fixed in accordance with the
bids OF the several publishers.

the book should be careful to see that
