The Carlisle school football team
defeated Beaufort high school at
Rhoad's park Thursday morning,
score 144 to 0. 1t was evident from
the outset that the boys from Beau

point of interest was to see how high
the score could be piled. At the end
of the first half the score stood SO to
0, and so during the second half

CARLISLE SCHOOL NOTES.
Football Team Makes Fine Record for
First Season.

| Last week was one of activity and
pleasure on the Carlisle campus. Any
holiday occasion brings pleasure to
a student. and especially at an insti-
tuition which has few of them, as at
the Carlisle school, Some Of the stu
dents who live near enough went
home and every effort was made to
make the occasion a pleasant one for
those who remained here.
On Wednesday evening the annual
Thanksgiving reception was held. The
spacious reception hall or lobby OF
Guilds hall was tastily decorated
with handsome pot plants and chrys-
anthemums for the occasion. Dur
ing the evening delicious ice course
was served. The students and their
friends who were present declared it
to be delightfully."- pleasant evening.
1t was pleasure to have as guests
on that occasion the members of the
Beaufort high school football team.
At noon on Thanksgiving day came
the football game with the Beaufort
high school. The game was very one
sided, the score being "A to 0 in Car
isles favor, but served as quite
pleasant pastime. Then came ye
turkey dinner!
The Beaufort game closed the foot
ball season and the management is
much pleased with the showing the
team has made, considering the fact
that this is really Carlisle's first year
in football. Out of seven games
played the team suffered only one de-
feat; in fact, was scored upon in only
one game. Porter defeated Car
Isle early in the season. The follow
ing are the games played and the
scores: st. Matthews high school 0,
Carlisle 32; Denmark high school 0.
Carlisle 81; Porter Military Academy
AZ. Carlisle O; St. Matthews (town
team 0, Carlisle o.; Orangeburg high
school 0, Carlisle 12; Blackville and
Barnwell high schools (combined) 0,
Carlisle "a; Beaufort high school 0,
Carlisle 144. Totals: Opponents At,
Carlisle $40.
This week Coach Whitaker is be-
ginning work with the basketball
team. 49,,
Carlisle was honored and proited
by having two distinguished guests
at chapel exercises on Friday morn
ing, the Hon John G. Woolley, OF
Wisconsin, and one-time presidential
nominee of the Prohibition party, and
DR.. Geo. w. Morrow, of Michigan,
field secretary of the National Anti
Saloon league. Both of these gentle
men are charming speakers and made
two most helpful talks.

LaFoy-Ayer Marriage.

One of the prettiest of the many
November weddings was that at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Jno! L. LaFoy
on Wednesday, November oath, at 3
o'clock when their daughter, Kate,
became the bride of Mr.. Frederick
Charles Aver, Of Bamberg. S.. c. This
hospitable home was never more
beautiful and inviting than on this
occasion when it was tastefully dec
Grated with, great masses OF ferns
and chrysanthemums. Promptly at
the appointed hour to the strains OF
Lohengren's wedding march played
by Mrs. Tavener LaFoy, the two
small brothers of the bride led the
bridal procession into the parlor and
took their place, one on either side
of great bank of ferns. Then came
the bride and groom, and in a most
beautiful and impressive manner, DR..
Jno. E. White performed the cere-
mony which united them:
The bride was dressed in a tray-
cling suit of dark blue. Immediately
after the ceremony the couple lett in
an automobile to take an evening
train for Augusta, Atlanta and points
in Florida, after which they will be
at home to their many friends at
Bamberg.
Mrs. Aver is the only daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. LaFoy and is a very
charming and accomplished young
lady. She is graduate of Winthrop
college and for the past year has
| been one of the most successful
teachers of the State, having taught
in the Bamberg public schools, at
which place Mr.. Aver first met her.
Her many friends here will regret to
see her leave Anderson but feel sure
she will receive a hearty welcome to
Iher new home at Bamberg, where
she has many friends.
Mr.. Aver is a grand nephew or the
much loved General Lewis M. Aver,
who is so we'll remembered in Ander-
son. Both Mr. and Mrs. Aver have
many friends here and throughout
the entire State who wish them hap
piness in their married life.-Ander-
son Daily Mail.
Mrs. Aver, as Miss LaFoy, was
quite a favorite among a large
circle of friends in Bamberg
She taught in the graded school last
session, and by her bright and Iowa
BILE disposition endeared herself to q
large number of acquaintances. Mr.
layer is young man who has as many
friends as acquaintances. Mr.. ano
Mrs. Aver have the best wishes OF
their numerous friends in the cit!
and county. They are residing with
Capt. and Mrs. l.. NJ. Aver.

Richard Carroll to Speak.

Rev. Richard Carroll, OF, Columbia,
will speak in Bamberg at the court
house on Monday night next, at eight
o'clock, to men only. Both white and
colored people are cordially invited
to. be present and hear him. The lee
ture will be free of admission. Car
roll is the leading member of the ne
gro race in this State, and, perhaps,
the most prominent negro in the
country since the death of Booker 7.
Washington He is now being. urged
as the negro race leader.
One-half of the court house will be
reserved for the white people. Car
rolls work for the elevation OF the
negroes has attracted nationwide at
tention, and every one who hears him
may be assured that they, will hear
nothing offensive.
The following are some comments
on the lecture of Richard Carroli to
men only:
Some years ago the Rev. Richard
Carroll gave in my presence in the
chapel of Benedict college, a lecture
to young men that was the most dis
Greet, judicious, appropriate, safe and
helpful that 1 have ever heard per-
tanning to sex and sexual relations.
If he is now giving to men that same
lecture he gave to them, it will not
only be instructive but eminently
helpful. "A. C. Osborne, Former
President of Benedict college.
HE is one of the most sensible,
practical speakers have ever heard.

man, white or colored, has been
fraught with more truth or common
sense than that of Rev. Richard Car

We have about completed plans for
a barbecue for the fddlers at New
Bridge" Wednesday, Dec. 8th, which
is one of the dates of fiddlers' con-
vention.
Our citizens are invited to give any
assistance they will for the success o
same. We are sure we will have a
fine barbecue. We have a good
many lady members of the conven-
ton, so the ladies and their friends
and baskets are expected to be with
US. If any should desire to bring a
basket same will be very much ap-
preciated and helpful. We would
suggest that we assemble about mid
day at New Bridge, as we will have
several speakers on the grounds,
namely: J. S. Breland, vice presi-
dent; R. F. kirkland, J. j. Smoak,
w. E. Spann, G.. o. Simmons, and
each of these is promised full hear
ing, but are not expected to consume
over 40 minutes each.
So we look forward to this as the
day of days for the fiddlers.
