iary to BeaYerdam Association, will
be held with the First Baptist church
OF Westminster on July 9th and 7th
Just one month in which to round
up our years work. Are we going
to face the new year as we did last
year, with our apportionment not
met? Not if we have been faithful to
the trust committed unto us.
In many respects this has been the
best year in our history; but our
gifts are not what they should be.
Christ said this thing ye ought to do
and not leave the other undone.
Dear leaders, if you have not met
your pportionment, you can do won
derful things in the time that yet re-
mains. Make strong pull and grip
hrmly the promises Of God and the
goal is ours.
You will receive your annual report
blanks shortly. Fill them out
promptly, answering every question,
as this is the only way we can get a
complete record.
Don't forget to have your election
or officers during this month, so that
there may be no confusion Of officers
during the year. Elect your dele
gates early, and see that your society
Is well represented at the meeting.
The program is being prepared and
Will be published as early as possible.

had always maintained hat he was
born on May II, 1910, and if his
memory as to the date of his birth
was correct, he was at death a little
more than 106 years OF age. lie gave
evidence of extreme age, though his
physical strength was not greatly i'm
paired and he was quite robust. He
was a Confederate soldier, though
we have been unable to learn any
thing as to his command or regi-
mcnt. For some years he had been
practically destitute, and some weeks
ago was taken to the county poor
farm, where he could be better cared
for than at the home of his relatives,
who are all in very moderate circum-
stances. Mr.. Si2cmore was we'll
known in Oconee. especially in the

he had spent much Of his life. His
body was buried at tho county farm

WHITMAN CALLSON
OSBORNE FOE TOQU|T
Riley, Superintendent Of New
York Prisons, viii Protest at
Custer Proceedings.

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.-Interest in the
administration Of the State department
OF prisons. which subsidized a week ago,
when Thomas Mott Osborne relinauish-
ed the wardenship OF Sing Sing, Is re-
vived by the action OF Governor Whit
man, who demands that John B. Riley.
State superintendent OF prisons. offer
his resignation Immediately.
In his letter to Superintendent Riley
the governor alleged that the prison
executive had attempted to hamper the
work Of osborne's successor. George W.
Kirchwcy, in ordering the transfer from
Sing Sing to Dannemora prison of sew
eral members of the Mutual Welfare
League, the Sing Sing self-governing
body organized by Warden Osborne.
This action, Governor Whitman de-
clared, was taken without conference
with either Warden Kirchwey or the
governor. and its effect, II carried out,
he wrote, must be to break down the
administration and render the new war
den's position lntolerable
Superintendent Riley received the
communication, and is planning to pro-
test.
The reason for the demand, as stated
in the letter is that Riley had recently
ordered slNty-six prisoners transferred
from Sing Sing to Dannemora prison,
This order the governor held to be in
violation of the understanding under
which DR.. George w. Kirchwey accept
ed the wardenship Of Sing Sing after
Thomas Mott Osborne, under -indict-
ment for alleged misconduct. had re-
iinquished his duties as head of the
prison.

BY GARDNER MACK.

To those washIngtonians inter
ebted in knowing tho fate Of other
contestants for the national beauty

Times contest winner. won at Los
Angeles, the announcement that Miss
Lois Wilson. of Birmingham, Ala,
has Just been made leading woman

moment.
Miss Wilson was one of Miss Pur-
cells competitors at the Los Angeles
contest, She was the winner of a
beauty contest that was held in
Alabama, and was acclaimed the
most beautiful of the Southern girls
who we're entered in the Los Angeles
contest, But she did not intend to
become motion picture actress.
She did. not have an idea of the
stage or of attempting to go into
motion pictures. Her beginning was
purely an accident.
1T was after I had taken in all the
sights in California with the other
beauty contestants the accident hap
pened," Miss Wilson states, in de-
scribing her entree to the acting
profession.
II stopped of at Chicago to
watch the Smalleys at work in their
production of ParIowa in The Dumb
Girl of Porticl.' l was standing on
the side gazing in wonder at the
ma gnihcent scene being taken, when
I was noticed by one of the di-
rectors, who lid not know me from
Adam, but came to me and asked
me II / would take a small part. as
l was just the type needed. The re-
quest fairly took me off my feet,
and for a moment was so bewilder-
ed that really do not remember
what l said.
"H6weVer, before l knew 1t was
a member of the cast of one Of the
biggest moving pictures productions
ever made. From the very start the
work appealed to me, and l entered
Il with a determination to forge
ahead. My dreams have been more
than realized, for from my humble
start in Chicago, i have become a
regular member of the Universal or

i
ness house in Birmingham. Every
morning ] went to my pokey old
desk, never dreaming that should
ever see Sunny California, much
less become a member of company
in the Universal. My life at home
was that of the ordinary girl who
worked for a living, had my little
circle of friends, went to dances and
parties, as all girls do, and believed
that was having the happiest time
possible. Little then did l realize
what happiness was. My first great
10Y was when I was selected the
winner in the beauty contest In Ala
bahla. The judges in that contest
were, indeed, awfully good to me.
HI fact, / never saw so many girls
who were really beautiful, but Fate
was kinder to me, than to them.

MUSIC
Hans Kinder, ViolOncellist, De
lights Friday Morning Music
Club At Recital.

The first appearance in recital OF
Hans Kinder. violoncellist, in the ball
room of the Raleiph yesterday as guest
artist of the Friday Morning Music
Club, brought to Washington a young
Dutch artist whose face is familiar in
the front ranks of the Philadelphia
Orchestra. but it disclosed as we'll a
musician OF the first rank. Mr.. Kind
leI's playing Is full of charm, that
quality that is over and above mere
achievement, is poised and withal most
genuinely musical. He was accorded
immediate recognition and the warm
est enthusiasm.
Mr.. Kinder brings out the eloquence
of his instrument, and nothing was
more plaintively beautiful than the
"Chanson Russo" of Maussorgsky or
the varied and lovely "OrientaIe," by
the Russian Cesar Cui, which he played
as encore. His rhythm is significant,
and he shows mastery in both repose
and fluent execution. Surely much will
be heard from him, for he is both musi-
clan and artist. His program included
the: Beethoven sonata for piano and
cello, op. 50; the ''Menuett" (HandeD and
'Gavotte" (Mehul-Burmeister), with
their piquant phrases admirably de-
lineated; the delicate Van Goens
'Scherzo," substituted for the Pepper
''Tarantella," and the broad Variations
Symphoniques" Of Boellmann.
Assisting Mr.. Kinder was Ellis Clark
lIanimann. pianist, who was heard In
the ensemble work and in a group of
solos. His light work was clear cut
and crisp, but his phrases and rhythms
were not melded. nor did he display
any poetic conception. ]. Mach.
