ganized. Boxing Bout at
High School. PIGGY
Wiggly Store.

A League of Women Voters was
organized here on Thursday after.
noon, this being effected by the com.
ing of Mrs. Williams of Greenwood
State organizer, who made a very
convincing and forceful talk, urging
the women to be up and doing. An
other speaker was Mrs. w. L. Dunno
want, of Edgefeld, who in her own
inimitable way told why it was SO
important that women should SO or
ganize themselves, and both speakers
told of what leagues over the state
were accomplishing. Mrs. P. N. Lott
was elected chairman; Mrs. j. H.
White, vice-chairman; Mrs. P B.
Waters, corresponding secretary;
Mrs. w. G. Connerly, recording sec
retary and Mrs. G. R. Jones, treas
irer. For some time many of the
women of the town have been want
ing to organize, now that they have
the ballot given them, and it is their
intention to. do what they can for
the general good Of the town, first,
by being good citizens. There are
some things that from this angle of
vision, can and should be made bet
ter, and "where there is woman,
there is a way" and ere long, the
masculine persuasion are going to be
seeing things from a changed angle
of vision.
Mrs. Walter Hendrix of Leesville
has been for short visit to relatives.
A big boxing bout was had here
one evening of the past week, at the
high school. This was arranged for
the benefit of the base ball team of
the high school, and there was a good
attendance, there being a number
present besides the high school at
tendance, and SIS was made. Mr..
Joe Cox acted as referee and Thomas
Hoyt, Jr., as timekeeper. The box
ers were: Perry Herlong and Char
s. lie Davis, Wheeler Rhoden and Her
bert Ergle, Butler Derrick and Da-
Wis Lewis, William Lott and Victor
Johnson. There seems to be good
school spirit manifested on the part
of the pupils and the high school pu-
pills are now arranging minstrel for
the benefit of the school. They have
secured a coacher and the parts have
been assigned and they hope to give
this affair at very early date.
Mr.. Claud Hart has opened up a
"Piggly Wiggly" store, and Saturday,
his opening day saw large crowd,
going through the newness of waiting
on themselves, in store. The chief
idea of such store is that articles
can be sold bit cheaper, as there
is no expense in the management of
clerks.
Mrs. Jim Price was buried at Beth
lehem on Saturday afternoon, and
her death is very sad one, as she
leaves little children to miss moth
er's love eand care. Mrs. Price was
Miss Bledsoe before her marriage
about eight years ago, and she and
her husband resided here few
years but were living near town at
the time of her death. Mrs. Price was
gentle Christian woman, and leaves
many loved ones to mourn her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pope Perry and
family moved last week near town to
the place of Mr.. W. P. Cassells.
Miss Louise Boyd who is teaching
at GranitevilIe spent the weekend
here in the home of Mrs. Bessie Bean.
Miss Fannie Pruitt has been quite
sick for the past two weeks and Mrs.
w. E. LaGrone is supplying for her.
1t seems natural to have Mrs. La
Grone here in the class room as pre-
vious to her marriage she taught
three years here.
Mrs. j. W. Mish will go to Virgin
ia soon to spend the summer and her
friends regret to see her go for so
long a time.
Mrs. Earl Smith and children and
Mrs. Darlington have gone to New
berry to visit relatives.
Mr.. Burrell Boatwright was expect
ed home on Sunday from the Colum-
bia Hospital, but on Friday he did
not seem as well as he had been, so
he decided to remain while longer.
