Planning for Children's Week

On Monday afternoon a large and
enthusiastic number OF women gatn-
cred at the Methodist church to
make definite plans for the obser-
ance of Children's Week. 1t is real
lied that there are many white Gull,
dren IN and around the town OF
Kingstree who ought to be regular
attendants of some Sunday School,
hut who are not attending any, and
who are receiving no religiuos edu.
cation whatsoever. The purpose OF
Children's Week is to waken the
consciences of parents and Sunday
School teachers, and all followers
of Christ, and to arouse their lnoerc
est in the religious educatlon Oh
children everywhere.
The program for the observance
of Children's Week, April 9th to
Nav 4th, in Kingstree is as follows;
On Sunday afternoon April 9th,
there will be a community mass
meeting at one of the churches here.
The committee in charge OF this
meeting has written to Spartan.
hnrg. which is the Headquarters OF
the SOuLn SdIOiiilo pui"
Association. in an endeavor to Sc
cure a trained worker to speak on
some of the most important phases
of Sunday School work.
The survey committee will tlnd
out and will make a list of all the
children of our town. both those IN
Sunday School and those out, and
later IN the week other committees
composed of members of the differ
mt denominations, will visit every
home in Kingstree where there are
children. 1t is hoped that in this
way at least a hundred or more
bows and girls will be enrolled IN
our Sunday Schools. and will begin
their religious training, a thing Sc
much needed for their proper devel'
opment. ~,
party will be given on the court
house grounds, to which all white
children of Kingstree, of all faiths

SEED MAY SOON BE SOLD
European Market For Cotton Oil
And Cake

That the bulk of cotton oil, meal
and cake to be exported to Europe
is to 60 forward in greatly increas-
ed volume, thus bringing relief to
cotton seed crushers and farmers
alike throughout the South, is the
inference from a cablegram from
former Governor Manning in Paris,
to Christie Benet. The cablegram
read:
"Mr. Hoover authorizes statement
that situation as to producers and
crushers has been relieved by ex-
port purchases"
Before sailing for Europe several
weeks ago, Governor Manning made
a close study of the cotton and cot
ton seed situation, with the view Of
discussing with Herbert Hoover in
its various aspects the problem con-
fronting the cotton farmers in mar
keting his products, which were yet
restricted by embargoes.
The opinion of Mr.. Benet was
that with these restrictions gradual.
ly lifted. a steady flow Of oil and
meal will 60 forward. thus reducing
the heavily over stocked mills and
creating instant demand for unsold
seed.
When prices of seed were fixed
early last fall, farmers rushed their
seed to the mills, crowding the mills
far beyond their capacity to crush.
Operation of the plants was also Sc.
riously hampered by the scarcity OF
labor. And when the seed products
were ready for distribution, there
was practically no market. Thus the
cablegram from Paris brings dis
tinctly cheerful message for the en-
tire South.

RED CROSS NOTES

Mr.. Mcdowell, chairman of the
Kingstree Red Cross chapter, wish
es to announce that the course in
Home Nursing has again been post
poned, owing to the fact that the
teacher engaged for this course is
not vet free to come to Kingstree.
She will come, however, about the
first of May, and those who signed
up for the classes are asked not to
let their interest and enthusiasm
die out altogether before the time
cores to begin the lessons.
These nursing classes are Welt
worth while. There are "a towns
and cities in the Southern Division,
which are availing themselves OF
this branch of Red Cross work by
maintaining one and sometimes
several of these classes.
To those of you who gave so gen.
erously in the last old clothing drive,
it may be interesting to know that
the American Red Cross has estab-
lished relay warehouses at Amiens,
Lille, Loon, Mezieres, Chalous and
Verdun, towns irrevocably associat-
ed with the war, whose spelling

them to ruins. Back to these devas-

thread of their peaceful lives.
It is the Red Cross that is help

with furniture, garden and farm
implements, and barnyard fowls and
pigs. Fortunately, the Red Cross
had a large supply of necessities on
hand, and the relay depots were
soon made available.

over their past lives and try to live the

GOOD ACTING GETS
FOSTER PLAY over
Ed Clisbee Carries Off Honors
in Rich Man, Poor Man"
Week end Offering at the
Empress.

While not as well finished as some
Of the company's former productions,
Erich Man, Poor Man" with which the
Empress Stock company opened its
week end engagement at the Empress
last night is what one might call "a
good average play 1t is from the
Saturday Evening Post story of the
same name of which Macmillan Fos-
ter was the author. =
The production is kept above the
level of mediocrity by the excellent
work of the players themselves--very
notably Ed Clisbee as Peter Beeston"
an irascible, soured old millionaire.
Given the Disadvantage of an eccen-
trio part that called for such unpopu :
lar actions as his trying to force the
heroine to marry his crippled, but good
hearted millionaire nephew, Clisbee
managed to get away with the pop
ular favor
Raymond Whitaker is the mascu-
line star, with Rae Ewing in opposite
support. In neither of the parts is
there chance for startling success
because the play is not written that
way. Rae Ewing however, does her
part splendidly, and Whitaker makes
the best of every chance given him
by the author.
Billy" Maylon was trifle too
charming in his part. He portrayed
the crippled Millionaire who, when he
FOUND his intended loved another
gradually gave her up. So magnificent
was Maylon's assumed good grace the
audience hoped he would get the girl
after all. There was some pathcs
in the scene when he hobbled off emp
ty handed and broken hearted.
The central incident of the story is
the forging of some letters by an old
man anxious to put the heroine, who
was founding, up in the world. He
palms her off to the grabbed old mil
lionaire as his granddaughter. Fred
erick A. Sullivan enacts the role OF
this lovable villain.
The play will be presented again
tonight, Saturday matinee, Saturday
night and Sunday night.
