most interesting lecturers on the
platform today.
The North Atlantic Artists preced-
ed the lecture with a short concert.
Their program in the evening was
much more pleasing to the audience
than the afternoon concert. We heard
them at their best in the evening
and their selections were worthy of
their ability as artists. Every num-
Der of the evening program was
popular.

tanned and pleased the large audience
with an exceptionally we'll chosen
program including vocal and instru-
mental numbers with a reading. The
young ladies made a quartette with
piano, violin, cornet and cello. Again
they gave us quartette on the saxo-
phone. 1t is unusual to have four
saxophones on the concert stage and
more unusual to have them played by
four sweet and charming girls. Miss
Margery Smith had a genuine con-
tralto voice of wide range and sweet
quality. She sang several selections
ranging from pale Moon" and 90
Promise Me" down to that we'll loved
song of other days Sweet Genevieve."

the way New Zealand has earned the

these islands lay but few knew very
definitely of what these New Zealand
ers have accomplished They have

1t is not government ownership or
paternalism but it is a system of
loans with proper interest when it
comes to setting up young people
with homes or farms and it is free
service as far as schools and health
are concerned. Mr. Poole was the
ideal lecturer, big, breezy, earnest
and full of his subject. He carried
the audience with him so that when
he finished, all wished him to con-
tinue and all felt that much accur-
ate information has been gained.

FAREWELL SHOWER"

Last Friday evening over so friends
and neighbors were invited to the
home of the Misses Chamberlain on
the lower plain in honor of Mr. and
Mrs Frank c Cove, who leave early
next month by automobile for the
south" Whist was played during
the early evening hours. After re-
! freshments of delicious cake and
coffee, Mr. and Mrs Cove were invited
to sit by a table laden with gifts,
unique and useful for their southern
trip. Mr. F H Bickford made the pre-
sentation speech and read the rhymes
which accompanied some of the gifts.
The gifts were accepted in an equal
ly free and easy manner by Mr. and
Mrs Cove Mrs Fannie Clogston read
an original poem, and after singing
"the old familiar tunes" and express
ing good will again to Mr. and Mrs
Cove and appreciation to the fair and
thoughtful hostesses, the company
dispersed. The poem:

Whose house that welcome gave to ALL
Is to be closed and loo. ed this Fall?
The F. C. Goves.
But now instead of lamentation
We thought we'd have a celebration,
Just for tonight.
And shake the hands of these our neighbors,
Who've ever been so glad to aid US,
And say goodbye
We think it quite an undertaking.
Driving, sleeping bath ng baking
All in a car.
When you've a blowout far from town
Or in the mud settle down
Most out OF sight
We beg you yield not to despair
Nor yet with wild cries ELL the air
TO no avail
Think how much funnier twill sound
When you get home and tell it round
Among us friends
Here's hoping accidents and troubles
May prove but evanescent bubbles
Upon your way.
May care be banished far away
And rest and gladness FL your day
With happiness
May sickness never venture near
And naught but pleasure and good cheer
Be given you.
And when our wintry winds shall blow
And fill the air with driving snow
Ger hill and dale.
Well think of you as sitting out;
? With green things growing round about
And breeZes soft.
Full soon the winter will be DER
Your journey will begin once more
Homeward bound
Right glad we'll be to welcome you
And once again your faces view
At home again.
So. while we hate to say farewell
On your return our thoughts will dwell
And not be sad.

First Home Game for Locals.

A large crowd Saturday after
noon saw the Fort Mill baseball
team win it's first home game OF
the season from Arcade mills, 3
20 Z. The result of the game was
in doubt, however, until the last
man was down. UP to the 9th
inning the Rock Hill team was
out in front, 5 to 2, but i'll that
inning the Fort Mill boys staged
a rally which put them OH even
keel with the visitors. Three
more runs wer added by the To-
calls in the 7th. In the 9th Ar
cade tried hard to take the game,
but fell two short OF the neces-
sary number of runs to win.
The Fort Mill team has won
all of the three games it has play
ed this season, two from Arcade
and one from Lancaster. The
next home game will be played
with Lancaster.

mary on June s.
The North Carolina board of
elections this week began send
ink out the three and a half rail-
lion ballots which will be used in
the primary on June 8. Over a
million ballots are needed for the
State tickets and in addition to
THESE the State board furnishes
the tickets for the congressional
and judicial districts, and also
for the districts In which there is
a contest for State senator. IT,.
: This is by far the largest num-
bef Of ballots ever used in q North
Carolina primary, the big increase
being necessitated by reason of
TIE fact that women this year for
the first time will participate in
this primaries. The women voted
il, the general election Of 1920,
but their enfranchisement came
between the primary and the gen
eral election. The ballots are be-
ing sent out on the basis of five
times the number of votes cast
for the State Offices, or five times
the. number of votes cast for any
office two years ago.
In Fort Mil there is consider
able interest felt in the outcome
of the race for sheriff Of Meek
lenburg county, just across the
State line, by reason of the fact
that former Sheriff N. w. Wal
lace is again a candidate in the
Democratic primary for the Office,
from which he voluntarily retired
a few years ago. The present
sheriff Of Mecklenburg county is
w. %. Cochran, who is seeking
reelection.

YOUR HOUSE DEsoLATE.

Passing through part OF the
thinly inhabited hill country of
Missouri, a traveller was, startled
by a sound that seemed to come
from somewhere in the woods OH
the hillside above him. In a mo-
ments it was repeated, and he
recognized the long-drawn-out,
heart-rending howl of a lonely
hound. He tied his horse and.
climbing the path, came in a few
minutes to a tumble-down dwell
ing. The door was swinging on
one hinge; through a broken win
dow an old piece of curtain was
slowly flapping back and forth !;
the weeds had grown high against
the walls. ,....'
He called and out from under
the sagging porch came an old
hound that looked mere skin and
bones. Her great ears flapped
about her sunken eyes; her skin
hung loose over her protruding
ribs. She looked up into the face
of the traveller with the most pit
Iiful expression of desolate loneli-
ness and appeal that he had ever
81 ne OIL the face of either man or
animal.
The house had evidently, been
forsaken for a long time, but the
old dog had refused to leave her
old home. There through the
months that had passed she had
managed to exist. But the place
was home no more. The horse,
the cow and the pigs were gone !;
the chickens no longer cackled
round the shed; the ragged chill
dren no longer ran about in
their bare feet and called to the
old dog as they started toward
the mountain stream to fish. But
worst of all the master was gone !;
there was no longer anyone to
follow through the woods III
search of game.
The traveller divided his lunch
with the dog. Later as he drove
OF. down the mountain road he
again heard that heart-rending
cry of utter loneliness and de.
spair, and he said to himself ::
'"That was the loneliest scene l
ever looked ON IL eft my life. -
Yet there is one scene that is
more desolate than even that de-
serted house III the mountains; it
is the life that is empty of God
and Savior. How many such souls
have cried out in loneliness and
desolation, cried out in utter de-
spair as they looked into the
years ahead--without God and
without hope!

Mr.. Fish Still General Manager

There is no truth in report
which has gained currency dur
ing the last week that George
Fish, general manager of the
plants of the Fort Mill Manufac-
turing company, has resigned and
eontempiates leaving Fort Mill.
Mr.. Fish has not been we'll for
several months and has not yet
entirely recovered from the seri-
GUS illness through which he
passed some time ago, although
recently he has been attending to
his duties as best he could, anu
last week he and Mrs. Fish left
for summer resort in New Eng.
land, where Mr.. Fish hopes to re,
gain his health and return to
Fort Mill as soon as possible.
Speaking of the absence of Mr..
Fish, Col. Leroy Springs, presi-
dent of the Fort Mill Manufac-
turing company, was heard to re-
mark few days ago that Mr..
Fish, had been the most success
ful manager yet in charge of the
local mills and that it would be a
big undertaking to find man to
succeed him.

BOXING CLUBS SITE
SELLS FOR SS71,6O1
Cost Was $750,O00 and Hold
ers Of International $500
Bonds Lose All.

The property of the Internationa
Lexington avenue. where the promoters
intended to build a 81, ,000. 900 home FOL
boxing and other sports, was sold al
auction yesterday for S371, ,601 to satisfy
a second mortgage held by James G.
Mcclure for the Centre Field Company
1t was bought by the plaintiff.
According to Gutzon Borglum, who
has acted as president Of the club since
its reorganization two months ago. the
IS per cent. gold debenture bonds" Of the
subsidiary 1. S. c. Corporation, sold to
1,7O0 members of the club at $500 each
are now virtually worthless. The Lex
ington avenue site. which became known
as the S750,000 hole in the ground"
was the corporations only asset OF
value. That Is wiped out.
Among the bondholders of the I. S. c.
Corporation are many prominent busi-
ness and professional men, including
Gen. T. Coleman du Pont, Robert L.
Vanderbilt. Nicholas +. Brady, Frank
Hitchcock, William Zieg1er, Jr.. and AL
bert II. Wiggin, from whom Mr..
Borglum sought help when financial
difficulties threatened TO wreck the
clubs building plans. A month ago II
was said Gen. du Pont had come to the
rescue. but yesterday Mr. Borglum said
he had not succeeded in raising enough
OF what he. termed "bankable' capital to
buy back the property,
The site is worth 100000 more than
was paid for It," ne said. 1T would have
paid 100000 or $4,000 to save 1t If I
could, but part of the money was In the
form Of bank deposits, checks, pledges,
&C.. which was not acceptable as pay
ment. did not bid because, although
the fund came very generally from our
members, 1t was not sufficient to justify
me going through with the sale.
THE !. S. G. Corporation has been a
white elephant. Now 1t Is off our hands
we can go on and function as a boxing
club"
When asked about the clubs plans. Mr..
Borglum said an announcement would
be made after a meeting Of the board or
directors on Monday.
I'VE intend to have a real club" he
continued I'VE have lost a very valu-
able asset. but we have gained freedom
from financial entanglements. Our
members are loyal. A majority OF them
will be glad we are done with the Forty
ninth street site because it was so large
we would have had to use the building
partly for commercial purposes. Now
we can have a clubhouse all to our
selves"
1t was learned that one of the most
plans of the club IL II sue
ceeds In making a fresh start, Is the
organization of college boxing. 1t IL
probable that Monday the details or an
boxing program will be
made public.
