taht thunder, except that 1t was
more regular. 1t has caused much
more speculation and created far
more interest than did the recent
eclipse Of the moon. Invariably this
sound has emanated from south
easterly direction, and various pre-
| dictions have gone the rounds con-
cerning It's origin. Some have even
thought 1T an approaching thunder
storm, even when clear skies belied
their theory. Some have predicted
that 1T must be cyclone or tornado
sweeping over the country south Of
Greepvlle, while others have declar-
ed 1T could only be the rumble Of old
North Cardinals volcano" that they
had been reading about. All were
wrong. How vain is man, and how
tragic the fallacy Of his feeble mind!
1t has been found that the "rumble'
originated in Greenwood. and that
it was nothing more nor less than
fIejaz Shrine Drum Corps practicing
for the Spring Ceremonial to he held
in Grcenville on Thursday, May 2G.
Yes, Hejaz Temple has "one of
them things" too. although very few
OF the Temples membership know it.
However, those present on Nav 10Th
Will have an opportunity to get ac-
Guaintcd with and know this no,ori-
ouS bunch. They won't be hard TO
ind-just hunt up the noise. The
Temples Chief Rabban, Noble -. \.
G. Ouz,s. Of Greenwood SAYS: "This
Ilcjaz Drum Corps is the noisiest and
widest bunch I've ever seen or
heard but we should worry. They
are always in position to beat it,
and he ought to know.
Leave il to Greenwood.
Bound that Greenwood would be
the town to furnish so important
part in the Temples organization as
the noise" But even noise" that
is of Greenwood's production is al
ways we'll ordered and meaning, the
kind that "sets the pace" as will be
dem onstrated to Greenville and her
visitors during the Shrine Ceremo-
nial.
The drum corps is hard at work
beating and blowing" itself into fit
shape, as any good Greenwood citi-
zen will testify. Noble C. B. Barks-
dale is president and Noble Roy c.
Simpson is secretary, and the won-
dlous showing which this branch OF
the Tcmrlc Will make at the Ceremo-
nial Will be largely the result OF their
untirmg efforts
Tho Dram Major.
In addition to the above mentioned
officers they have the regular drum
major in VIM. A. Huey. Now, "Bill'
is good-they admit it, too. He OPEN
ly boasts himself that he can wrap
his baton a.ound the nag-pole on
Greenyille's history Woodside build
ing and then catch it on his finger
tip! If you don't believe he does all
that hard stuff just watch him in
that big Shrincr's parade.
At recent rehearsal Of the drum
corps the secretary said to the presi-
dent:
Say Bruce, I'm just crazy about
Goldfish balls. DO you think they are
all right?"
Cant say" answered Bruce. 81
have never attended one"
TOO Good to Keen.
An amusing incident in which the
secretary Of the drum corps, Noble
Roy Simpson, recently figured, has
just come to light. A short time ago
he was in Greenville, from which
place he expected to go to Atlanta
on night train. He went to the
Southern depot to see about Pullman
reservations and found Noble w. II.
Shannon on duty. eli, Noble" said
Roy, "lct me have sleeping car ac-
commodation on the train to At
lanta."
For single passcnger?"
"No,' Roy replied. "I'm married,
but I'm not taking anybody with me.

Upper or lower?" asked Noble
shannon. "You understand, Of course,
that the lower is higher than the
upper. The higher price is for the
lower berth. If you want it lower
you'll have 10 go higher. We sell the
upper lower than the lower. In other
words, the higher the lower"
"Then why do they all prefer the
lower?" Noble Simpson inquired.
"On account of it's Inconvenience, :"
