North Cardinals only volcano that
they had been reading about, All
were wrong. How vain is man, and
how tragic the fallacy Of the feeble
mind. 1t has been d that the
rumble" originated iii Greenwood
and that it was nothing more nor less
than Heiaz Shrine Drum Corps prac-
ticing for the Spring Ceremonial to
be held in Greenville on Thursday,
May 2eth.
Yes, Hejaz Temple has one of
!'sthem things" too although very few
of the Temples membership know 1t.
However, those present on May 2eth
will have an opportunity to get ac-
ouainted with, and know, this notorl-
ous bunch. They won't be hard to
fnd-just hunt IN the noise! The
Temples Chief Rabpan, Noble D. A.
G. QUITS of Greenwood says, "Thls
Heiaz 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 it to Greenwood
Bound that Greenwood would be
the town to furnish so important a
part of the Temples organization as
! the ''noise." But even noise that is
of Greenwood's production is always
we'll ordered and meaning, the KIND
that "sets the pace" as will be DEM
onstrated to Greenviile and her vlsl-
, tors during the Shrine Ceremonial.
The drum corps is hard at work.
"beating and blowing itself into fit
shape, as any good Greenwood citizen
will testify. Noble C. B. Barksdale
is president, and Noble Roy c. Simp-
son is secretary, and the wondrous
! showing which this branch of the
Temple will make at the ceremonial
will be largely the result of their un-
! tiring efforts.
The Drum Major

officers they have regular drum ma

Too Good to Keep
An amusing incident in which the
secretary of the drum corps, Noble
Roy Simpson, recently figured has
lust come to light. A short time ago
he was in Greenville, from which
! place he expected to go to Atlanta,
on a night train. He went to the
Southern depot to see about Pullman
, reservations and found Noble W.
Hunter Shannon on duty. eli, No

Atlanta.

"No," Roy replied, "l'm married.

clipper or lower?' asked Noble
Shannon. "You understand of course
the lower is higher than the upper.
The higher price is for the lower
berth. If you want it lower you'll
have to 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 its conveniences," "
Hunter replied. "Most persons don't
like the upper, although it's lower,
on account of it being higher, and
because when you occupy an upper
you have to get up to go to bed, and
then get down to get up. l would ad-
wise you to take. the lower, although
it's higher than the upper, for the
reason ] have stated, that the upper
is Awer than the lower because it is
higher. You can have the lower If
you pay higher, but if you are willing
to go higher it will be lower
