ional Guard and National Army W.
will represent the Game Cock city I'm
the great American army which has
been and is being formed to 60 to
Europe's Western battle front to car
ry on the warfare for democracy.
The occasion was delightful one
for the Sumter business men and
soldiers who were present. The jolly
Gymns were on hand as usual and
served a most delightfully."- prepared
supper, a feature which added en-
jcymcnt to the occasion. There were
about t, ty of the civilian members
of the ,.siness Mems Class present,
while an equal number OF officers.
most of whom were formerly active
in the work of the class, also shared
in the pleasure of the evening.
Mr.. w. L. Whitehead, president OF
the class. presided, expressing the
keen appreciation that the men Of
the Y. M. CA. felt at the successful
part that the Sumter contingent at
the officers training camp at Fort
Oglethorpe had played, especially
those men who had gone out from
the Y. M. c. A., and who were still
upholding the high standards set by
that institution. Mr.. w. A. Bryan
extended welcome to the men to
their homes and the YIN. C. A, and
wished for them further success in
the work they had before them.
Major j. w. Bradford spoke of the
relation of the National Guard to the
regular army, and Capt. Robert Il.
Drown referred to the work that the
National Guard was doing and still
had before it. Lieuts. Wendell NJ.
Levi and Louis c. Bryan made re-
marks on features of Camp Warden

that the citizens of Sumter were
proud Of the record that the Game
Cock City men had made in the train
ing camp and he wished them even
better success in the future.
Senator r. d. Epps referred to the
work of the next training camp at
Fort Oglethorpe and stressed the i'm
portance of the white men taking a
leading part in war and striking hard
1T slackers and men who talked
dislOyalty. Secretary H. L. Birchard
and Mr. c. E. Hurst referred to the
very valuable work which the Y. M.
G. A. was doing for the soldiers in
the various camps in America and
Europe and the great importance Of
The officers lending their efforts to
make their work successful.
The meeting was closed by the pas
sage of a vote of thanks to the Jolly
Gymns for their much appreciated
services, and by the unanimous adop-
ton Of a resolution offered by Mr..
Epps that if any of the officers, there
present, felt himself too dignifed on
his return from the war to play VOL
ley ball, that his fellow members Of
the Business Mems Glass should pro-
ceed 20 bump" him; and that every
former member of the volley ball
team should proceed to show his
German opponents, when he reached
the trenches, that "They were out
classed man for man."

MASON|CORDER
DOING IT'S BIT

That the Masonic order is to do its
bit in the war is shown from news
in from the coast that a Masonic am
bulance corps Of 124 master Masons
has been enrolled and accepted by
the United States and leaves for AL
lentown, Pa, this month. 1t will be
known as the Masonic Ambulance
Corps of California"
The unit consists of captain, four
lieutenants, twelve sergeants, twenty
chauffeurs and eight-seven privates.
All of them are master Masons.
So far as known this is the only
corps of its kind that has enlisted
since the call to the colors. Califor-
MIA Masons have pledged themselves
to raise $4,000 to pay for the equip
ment of the corps, which they are
going to maintain during the entire
term of the war.
Jesse NJ. Whited of San Francisco,
director general of the ways and
means committee, and well-known to
many Honolulans, in a letter to Jas
F. Fenwick, district inspector of the
grand lodge Of California, expresses
the belief that local MasOns belong
ing to the Jurisdiction of California
will aid in this patriotic work of the
fraternity. Anything from a dollar
to a million will be gladly accepted"
says Whited. Donations may be given
to any Blue Lodge officer or sent to

trio Co., Ltd.

OLD THRILLER
IN new SETTING

Like a spirit out OF the past comes
the present feature film at the Bijou
theater The Ninety and Nine" Like
an echo of a score Of years agone
when the parents of the present gen.
Grafton fell for the melodrama and
sobbed real sobs with the heorine be-
sides kissing the villain at every OPP
portunlty And the peculiar thing is
that the same parents are equally as
keen today for the picture play as
they were as kids for the stock"
drama.
AS is customary with a majority
of the screen adaptations of stage
plays there is a wealth of detail in
this film that was outlined on the
stage. AS this drama is well fitted
with thrills it proves most fascinat'
ing.
William Courtenay and Lucille
Lee Stewart are the Vitagraph stars
cast in the leading roles and the girl
marfies the man partly because she
loves him and party because he is
the village Grunkard and she desires
20 work his reformation. This she
does in excellent style and finds her
self we'll repaid. both for her efforts
and her confidence. There is the
same h!eh-power punch to the film
that made the stage play big sue
cess. The vaudeville program also
continues a strong Bijou drawing
card.

est serial, The Great Secret" Bush
man is intrusted, in this week to
week detective drama, with no less
than seven different parts. The open
ing episode promises something big
and it is foregone conclusion that
Bushman and Miss Bayne will have a
large crowd of enthusiastic followers
before the concluding episode.
Each to His Kind" is a story of
love and adventure in prosaic old
England and fiery India. Hayakawa
again demonstrates his versatility by
appearing as an imposing Hindoo
character, Rhandah, heir to the Ma
harajah, a part created especially for
him and in which he appears to his
usual high standard. The picture
carries plot that is rather unusual
and. as is usual with Hayakawa of
ferings, is one of those films that pack
the big Liberty theater to the doors

to a smashing climax, with the hero
winning the girl and bringing just
deserts to the villain.

Wholesale lots of photoplay stars

LACK OF COURTESY
Just as an instance of the lack of
common courtesy manifested by some
travellers, a little incident occurred
Thursday at Pier Just as a British
liner was about to pull out.
Half minute after the last whistle
had blown and the stevedores had let
down. the gangplank, a man and a wo
man, passengers on the liner, came
running up, about one second before
the steamer was to sail.
Seeing them coming, Commodore
Reilly and his men by hard work hoist.
ed up the gangplank again high enough
to enable the tardy couple To get
aboard through the sideport.
They scrambled up. Did they so
much as utter word of appreciation
to Reilly and the stevedores? They die
not. Had it not been for the quick
work of the wharf superintendent they
would have been left behind, but it
never occurred to them to say even So
much as thank you" BystanderS
seeing the incident made few caustiG
remarks about the polfteness of the
pair.
Word that members of the board Of
retail trades from the Chamber of
Commerce had baked at the idea o.
