Folk Dance.

An immense crowd not only
filed the ball, but literally lined
the walls of the auditorium of
Boyd Hall on Friday, and enjoyed
one of the very best entertain
ments ever given on Normal Hill.
The program was carried out
exactly as published in our last
issue, and it would be difficult to
say which was the most pleasing
or best rendered, the different
drills with wands, dumbbells and
Indian clubs, given so splendidly
by the gym classes, or the folk
dances, so gracefully rendered by
the folk dance classes. The Co.'S
tunes were very attractive and
added mucn to the beauty of the
scene on which colored and spot
lights were thrown throughout the
different numbers.
Too much praise cannot be given
the painstaking and efficient teach
err, Miss Martindale, who trained
her pupils SO patiently and &C
complished such wonders in such
a short time, as we'll as the youDG
ladies' who took part in the pro-
gram, and whose dancing and
drilling could not help but be in
spired bv the excellent music of

IN May, 1866. The title was taken
from the Greek word kuklos, meaning
circle. The third word Khan was added
by the members, who were in large
percentage descended from the Scotch
who settled in old Virginia. In subse-
quent years when the Klans went forth
to put down the desperadoes who swarm

The supreme need in our State to-

through the teaching Of Gods Word,
to ;produce intelligent and efficient
Christian citizens and to train them
for the largest possible service. The
Sunday school is our greatest agency
for promoting religious education
among all the people, and for produc-
ing Christian citizenship.

Association has appointed Sunday,
November 4, as "Go-toSunday School
Day" This day will be observed not
only in South Carolina but through
cut North America as "International

forts will be made to secure thou
sands of recruits for the Sunday

work now being done in our Sunday
schools, and desirous Of encouraging
those who are contributing their
time. energy, and money TO this great
cause, I, Richard l. Manning, Cover
nor of South Carolina, do hereby pro-
claim and set apart November 4,

for South Carolina. On that day, I
earnestly urge all South Carolinians,
as we'll as visitors within her bor-
ders, to attend the Sunday school OF
their choice. and I trust that they
will unite in the hearty support OF
this great agency which makes for
character and good citizenship.
In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the State to be affixed at Columbia
on, this twenty-second day of Septem-
Der, 1917.
