have no desire to set down other than

appears that the report was in error
in stating that the ..two Burris child

They were not playing together and
had not, but the Burtiss girl Ind the
Lacheta girl were playing in truck

the report stated that "the complains

about 9 o'clock from Camp Deer Is
land, where they have been encamped
for the past week. The Island is To-
Gated about one mile off the coast Of

swimming, athletics, hikes, mass
games, kangaroo courts, organized
sight seeing, campfire councils, dis
eussions, Bible study, interesting
talks and in fact, everything that

The leaders and speakers We're the
very best. DR. Hayes of this State,
gave three lectures on clean living
which made a profound impression on
the boys, C. B. Loomis of Atlanta,
Ga, in his talks gave some real in
formation on choosing vocations and
cited a very plain and common sense
way for the fellows to find out
what they are "cut out for" Mr.,
Godfrey, Mr.. Hunter, Mr.. Buford and
others all talked along the lines
touching on boy life.
Nothing was lacking from the
standpoint of eats, as Monroe, who is
known to boy campers all over the
State acquitted himself wonderfully
in this particular.
The boys broke camp Wednesday
and gave way TO the Hi-Y Girls, who
were pouring in from all over the
State. Miss Ella Mcintosh State
Girls Work Secretary and her corps
Of efficient leaders were on the
grounds and received the girls, Miss
George Quarles, Gymnasium Teach
err from the Greenwood High School,
has the athletics of the camp in
charge. Everything indicates that
they will have as good or better time
than the boys.
Greenwood boys who attended were
Hughey Williford, Geo. A, Spivey,
Edward Cooley, Price McLemore,
Stanley Menees, Stanley Clark, Mack
Kimball and Robert Pollard, Jr.

HONORs JUNE BRIDE-ELECT

Mrs. Ada Robertson and Mrs. Guy
Hall entertained on Friday morning
with miscellaneous shower in honor
of the charming bride elect, Miss
Hortense Stoner, whose marriage to
Lieut.. David Mclean is to occur on
June goth.
The guests were greeted at the
door by Mesdames Sam Montgom-
cry and Waller Dubard and were US"
hered into the dining room by Mes
danes Sid Pearce and Duncan Nc
Leod, where they were introduced to
the guest of honor and her mother,
Mrs. A. NJ. Stoner.
Lovely red cosmos were used in pro-
fusion in both the hall and living
room.
Little leaflets OH which were en-
graved the names of the contracting
parties, the date and the names OF
the hostesses of this occasion, were
given the guests, with the request
that each write their favorite re-
ipe. All were then collected and en-
cased in handsome leather folder, es-
pecially designed for holding recipes,
and which will serve as a most useful
souvenir of the occasion.
A bugle was heard sounding rev.
ellie and two manly little soldiers,
Masters Andrew Parish and Gerald
Montgomery, dressed in uniform en-
tered and marching up to the bride
elect saluted her and commanded
that she join their company. The
doors into the dining room were then
thrown open and veritable army
camp with tent, cannon, flags, etc,
was in full view. The bride-elect
was escorted by the same little sol
der boys to the entrance Of the tent,
where she was seated in flag-draped
chair and given her introduction into
army life by being showered with
rice from an army cannon.
The little soldiers were then seen
TO be carrying heavy knap sacks on
their backs, which seemed too much
for them, so they gladly gave them
to the new member of their company,
and when she opened them they were
found to contain lovely gifts. De-
lightful refreshments, consisting OF
salad and ice course, which car
ried out the color scheme of red,
white and blue, were then served.
