MOUSE is THE CAUSE
OF A BIG SENSATION.

Something Of sensation
occurred yesterday afternoon at
the women's meeting In the
First Methodist Episcopal
church. when a mouse found its
way into the church auditorium
and bolted about festively, dur
ing the hour Dr.. Nice uaig was
lecturing on "Courtship."
DR.. McCuaig assured the
women that 1t was an infant OF
its species and perfectly harm
less-that 1t could run no fast
er than beetle and sintimated
that II anyone felt uneasy about
it being around Just to bring
It up to him. But in spite of
those reassuring remarks.
whenever mousey strolIed about
a woman's foot there was con-
sternation.
According to DR.. Met uaig's
description, he was not more
than an inch long, plump about
the body with large silky ears
like a small elephantss-milk
teeth, pink feet and ping tail.
He was soft and white about
the mouth and breathed through
his nose. His stomach was
white and he was mouse-col- I.
ored on his back. His eyes
were black and piercing, but
one could have put him In a
small pill box. But there were
women who thought he was as
big as q maltese.
Dr.. McCuaig spoke yesterday
afternoon to the high school
boys and this afternoon he
spoke to the pupils Of the Lin
den school. This morning he
visited the Montessori kinder
garten on Mulberry street.
Plans have been made for
four meetings to be addressed
by DR.. Mccuaig Sunday, which
will end his work in clarks-
burg.

The Harvest Festival and Parade
During State Fair Will be Zig
Event.

Mr.. LaCoste Evans, who is q men,
Der Of the Publicity Committee Of the
Columbia Chamber Of Commerce
which is now actively and energetical-
ly working to promote the Harvest
Festival at the State Fair, is in the
city today. The object of his visit is to
interest the people OF Sumter in the
Harvest Festival, the outstanding fea-
ture Of which will be a mammoth pa
rade representing all sections of the
State. 1t is planned to have every
county in the State represented in the
parade BY q float, and as the process
sion will be headed by Gov. Manning
and his staff, it Is considered almost
necessary that Sumter, his home coun-
ty and city, be properly represented in
the picture by a float and delegation.
Chesterfield, Darlington, Florence,
Marlboro, Dillon and Marion will all
have floats and will have delegations
in the Harvest parade, and Mr.. Evans
whose home is in Cheraw and whose
first love is always for the Pee Dee
section, is anxious that the Eastern
section Of the State make strong
showing in the parade. He will hold
a conference today with the officers of
the Chamber of Commerce and Retail
Merchants Association for the pur-
pose Of presenting the matter to them.
1t goes without saying that Sumter
should have n place in the picture and
that it should be permanent place.
