BRILLIANT SOCIAL feature
GIVEN BY H. U. J. X. CLUB
Anniversary Ball and Banquet rendered in Celebration
Of Year Of Social Events.

81 Could Dance Till Day is Dawn
in,,' Then l Want to dance All Morn
i'm, is the opinion of the fifty-seven
clubmen and guests who spent a per-
feet evening (till 2:15 a. n.y. in
celebrating with dancing and ban
quoting the first anniversary of the
H. U. j. X. Club at the spacious au-
ditorium of the City Hall here last
night. The banquet feature Of the
social event was h':1d at The Costello
Hotel where Mrs. F. J. Price took
the celebrators in hand and served
them bountifully and we'll with re-
freshments that were both delicious
and substantial. From 9:30 o'clock
until midnight the revelers danced
away the hours, then went
to the Costello where they
were wined and dined and toasted
until they had done justice to the
excellent offerings, when they re-
turned to the scene of the waltz and
one-step until the parting hour at
2:15.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Donaldsonvill, Orches-
ira, an eight-piece body of, artists
who made music divine. The pro-
gram of dances contained many
numbers especially entitled for the
gay affair and the dispensation of
favors to certain fortunate fair at
tendants was novelty innovation
which created great fun. Whirling in
the graceful measure of an entranc-
ing waltz or one-step, the musicians
would be suddenly halted and all
couples come to pause. Scattered
at intervals over the ballroom flour
were numbered slips and the young
lady Of the couple who came to rest
on a certain slip, the number of
which was announced by the master
of ceremonies, was presented with
a box of crisp chocolates. These
special prizes were won by Misses
Florence Ditch, Leta Prohaska, Ma
bel George, Rebecca Marques and
Inez Wilson.
At 9:30, the grand march, led with
grace and charm by Miss Winnie
Smyly and Mr.. w. J. Bouterie, was
begun. The lights in the hall were
turned off and in hands of each
couple a sparkler, throwing off a my
riad of tiny flashing sparks, supplied
a beautiful illumination for this
opening number Throughout the
evening the resourceful young men
of. the H. U. ]. X. Club kept their
guests in happy and delightful
state with their frequent unique
surprises. The splendid hosts of the
occasion, the beautiful young ladies,
their handsome costumes, the en-
chanting music, the banquet, and the
sparkling wit and joy of effervescent
youth and health made the first an
niversary of the organization Of the
H. U. J. X. Club a memorable date
IN the memory books of the partici-
pants.
Among the out-of-town guests for
he Anniversary were Miss May De-

Negroes Freeze at Work in n. j.

Thomasville, Ca, Dec. 16.-Turner
Wimberly, a negro from Mitchell
county, who went North with par
ty of others from this section short
time ago, is writing back to his
father, Crawford Wimberly, begging
him to send him money to get back
home on. He says it is terribly cold
up there, and the negroes are work
ing in water halfway up to their
waists, and with ice an inch thick.
Many, he says, are dying every
day, and he confirms the statement
of a negro from Thomasville that
many of them are burned after
death, instead of being buried, as
there is no negro cemetery there.
He says board is very high, and
wages much less than they were rep
resented to be.
This negro is in Newark, n. j.,
but will be in South Georgia again
as soon as he can get there. He
says some of the negroes have start
ed out to walk back home, as they
had no money to pay their way.

Statements That May Be lnvestisa
ted. Testimony Of Bamberg
Citizens,

When a Bamberg citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such
testimony is convincing. 1nvestiga'
ton proves it true. Below is a state
ment Of a Bamberg resident. NO
stronger proof of merit can be had.

Townes Holeman, former cashier OF
a local bank, who disappeared seven
years ago after a shortage of approx
imately $4,000 had been discovered
at the bank, unexpectedly appeared
here today. 1t was arranged for him
to appear in county court today to
answer charges of being responsible
for the shortage. 1t is understood
relative and friends have paid about
the amount due. Holleman stated

South Carolina Healthy State.

Columbia, Dec. 20.-The report of
the bureau of vital statistics for 1916
is very gratifying, says statement
from the state board of health. 1T
shows that the death rate in South
Carolina for white people is only
about 10000, whereas that for ne
groes is about 1880. The fact that
the United States government has ac-
cepted the bureau of vital statistics
of South Carolina, and admitted this
State into the registration area, is
OF inestimable value to this State,
for the claim that South Carolina,
and especially the lower portion of
the State, is extremely unhealthy,
with high death rate, has prevent
ed people from living there, and has
made the upper part of the State the
most populous part of South Carroll
ma. This, of course, has deprecated
the price of land in the lower part
of the State. ''Now we are able to
prove by the United States govern
ment reports says the board, that
this bugabear of i'll health and death
has been removed from the lower
counties. This makes the reporting
of deaths trebly repay any money
expended for the collection of such
reports. This argument should ap-
peal to the taxpayer, and make him
willing to bear the small additional
burden placed upon him by the col
Getting of vital statistics. The report
for 1916 shows, >as we have said,
that the death rate for the entire
State for white people is less than
$4,000, whereas the average for the
entire United States in the registra-
ton area is thirteen and five-tehths
per thousand"

BOYS DENIED STATE AID.
Accept Recommendation of Charities
Board Against Free Tuition.

Columbia, Dec. 20.-At the an
nual meeting of the board of trustees
of Clemson College here today, free
tuition was denied 156 students
making application for State aid.
Recommendation for such action
came from the State Board of Char
tiles and Correction, to which the
matter of free tuition at State in
stitutions was referred at the last
session of the State legislature.
The board ordered the establish
ment of boil weevil laboratory in
the border counties of the State.
Work in this field is to begin at once
and the services of two entomologists
will be engaged.
More stringent action was also or
dered to attempt to eradicate all
forms of hazing at the school. The
board adopted a resolution requiring
that all applicants and their parents
shall sign, before the students are
admitted, statements that they will
after admission refrain from all
forms of hazing. The students fur
ther agree to voluntarily withdraw
from Clemson when the pledge has
been violated.
President Riggs was directed to
make application for Clemson's ad-
mission to the Reserve Officers
Training Corps. Students electing
this advanced training course would
have extra military duties only in
the junior and senior years, and
each would draw a subsistence fee
of 50 monthly and one complete uni
form outfit.
Beginning the third quarter of the
school year, February 8, all students
will pay 50 month for board in
stead of sS as previously.
The resignation of J. N. Harper,
for eleven years director of the ex-
pertinent station and dean of the de-
partment of agriculture, was accept
ed with sincere regret by the board.
The board declined an offer from
the Seaboard Air Line railway to
accept site near McBee for the es-
tablishment of the Sand Hill Expert
ment Station. One reason was for
lack of sufficient funds to develop
this property, and another was that
bids from all sources must be sought
by advertising.
A bequest of $1,000 was received
from Mrs. Mary Cherry Doyle to Gre
ate the George Cherry Foundation.
This is to become a permanent loan
fund for worthy students from the
Old Piedmont district in Oconee and
Anderson counties. c. F. Sheffield
was selected as an additional assist
ant in the department of fertilizer

morning at II o'clock, thus giving
hundreds of pupils an opportunity to
come downtown and witness the
pageant which is scheduled to leave
the G.. F. & A. depot half an hour
later. The announcement to this eff
feet was made at the close of the
schools yesterday, and caused much
rejoicing among the little fellows and
misses, who wanted so much TO see
the parade, but who did not want to
see it bad enough to warrant their re-
manning away from schools.
The school board, through Mr.. Sher-
rill, last evening authorized the an
nouncement that all schools would be
dismissed for. the day at the hour
named, thus. giving practically all
pupils a sufficient time to make their
way to some point along the route
of the parade and witness the drill of
the troops, blue jackets, and see the
long line Of decorated autos which
are expected to be numerous in the
mornings welcome to the distinguish
ed visitors.

FOUNDERS DAY FOR
OLD SPANISH TRAIL
TO Be CELEBRATED
SCHOOLS WILL TAKE PART IN
FITTING PROGRAM, WHICH
WILL BE RENDERED AT A
NUMBER OF STATED POINTS.

Founders Day, of the Old Spanish
Trail, will occur next Friday, jan
uary 81, and schools of the city, in
the Nunez Ferry neighborhood and
at or near Ferry Pass, will all be
dismissed, and appropriate exercises
will take place. In the city the ex-
ercises will take place at three points.
If the weather is fair and agreeable,
all schools in the central part of the
city will assemble in r. e. Lee Square.
Fitting programs will also be held at
the high school building, in New City,
and also at the public school, near the
Jewish cemetery.
In the country appropriate exer-
cises will take place at the schools at
Myrtle Grove, Klondyke and Beulah,
on the west; at Olive, Brent and Fer
ny Pass north and east. Some of
these schools are not on the route of

ENTERTAINM MEN S
BY PHI UNMAKERS
ARE CONTAGIOUS
THERE ARE MANY AMUSEMENT
LOVERS IN THE CITY WHO
NEVER MISS AN AFFAIR OF
THIS KIND.

Did you ever attend Phunmaker
affair? Try it once and you'll have
the contagion of attending any af-
fair they might ever give. There are
amusement lovers in Pensacola who
never miss Phunmaker affair. Why,
do you ask? Because there is that air
of cordiality and friendliness that
breathes sociability and pleasure. It's
Like New York on a New Years Eve
night.
Everybody knows everybody, and
those that don't, seem to mix right
in and get the "Tlng Ling" aroma of
good fellowship, as the characters did
in "High Jinks." The Phunmakers
encourage this sort of entertainment,
they want every Pensacolian, man,
woman and child to get the opium
maker Contagion." How can this be
done, you say? Well, the solution
toward this end comes with the an
nouncement of "a Round of Pleas
ure," that this popular organization
will give at the Keyser auditorium
Tuesday, Feb. 1st. To those who at
tended the Midnight Frolic all that
need be said is, that it will be "an-
other one Of those things" only on
a more elaborate scale.
They will present on this occasion
their new idea of continual music
t'The Music Never Stops" is their
slogan. There will be two orchestras
and they will play to your hearts
content. There will never be stop
between the dances-simply contin-
ual. And, oh yes, did you ever hear
of or dance "Fire Dance" or "But-
terfiy Dance"
For the money that the Plum
makers would expend in souvenirs,
they have ordered out from New York
some devices for the "Fire Dance"
and '"The Butterfly Dance" two Of
the most novel effects ever shown in
Pensacola. It is costing some money
to produce these two dances, but you
know the Phunmakers-'ELet joy be
the keynote-never mind the ex-
pense."
"a Round of Pleasure" is going to
be a novelty.
