About thirty guests were present, a
The program for the afternooik
treated of some tamous women of An-'
cient History. The first to be stud,
ied was "Cornelia. Mother of the Gra-'
chll. " TWs subject had beon assign-?
c<! to Mrs. fl. T. Holden. Knowing
that she would not be able to attend
at this time Mrs. Holden had prepar
ed her' p^per before she went to the
hospital and left it with Mrs. At wood'
Newell to read for her.
Mrs. W. E. White and Miss Petty,
gave a duet, "Rosary." Mrs. UndeBS

Sorceress of the Nile." Mrs.

the K. K. K. but the little animal
which is working ruch havoc in the
[cotton fields of the South.
The last number on the program was
a humorous ana jiighly entertaining
selection from ".Miss Minerva und V/il.
liam Green Hill." given by Mrs. James
King. This was so well received and
so much enjoyed that Mrs. King was
not allowed to rest until she had given
an encore "Bill Th&y."
After the program the question was
brought before the club as to the ad
visability of having all the literary
clubs in town meet on the same after
noon of the week, leaving other after
neons frefr for other things, looku) r
especially to the formation of a wo
man's Club. Every one present was
invited to join in this. dlBcuBsion as it
is a matter In which one club can do
nothing without the co-operation of
all. Since there are five literary so
cieties or book clubs, three bridge
clubs, ten or more missionary organi
zations, a Daughters of the Confeder
acy chapter, the Woman's Auxiliary j
to the American Legion, If not others
there seems to be no time when all
the women of the town can meet to- j
gether unless sometnlng of the kind is
.done. A committee was appointed to
lake the matter jindef- consideration, i
A salad course and an ice course
were served. The club adjourned to
meet Thursday, Oct. 26. with Mrs. !
Wlngato Underhill.
TENANT HOUSE BUKNEI)
Information was received in Louis- i
burg Monday that" a tenant house be
longing to Mrs. D. T. Fuller, of Moul j
ton, was burned on Sunday morning |
by some parties unknown, who loft |
messages with four neighbors to give
to Mrs. Fuller the next morning. The
message, so we learn, was to the ef
fect that they understood that Mrs.
Fuller had rented a farm to a Mr.
Smith, whom they did not want in the
neighborhood and that If she did not
cancel the contract with mm and re
fuse to let him go there she would ]
have Tio house for him to live in.
They also said they had fired two that !
night but that a party was on behind
that would put them out tni* time. I'
j is true two were fired and It is believ
ed that the crowd thouglit they had j
[put the Are out in both, bur several i
hours later one blazed up and burned
jThe loss was about $300 with 110 in
surance. *

There aie three excuses for this
mistreatment of our language. These
[are: first, that slang is more foreceful
| than good English; second, that slang
, sounds clever; third, that tne pupil?'
are only careless. All but the last!
j named are false. If one has so small
ja vocabulary that he has to rjfly on
siang to make his expressions force
jful, he has little cause to be in high
.school. Slang is not clever; so this
excuse also is false.
j Slang is a string of potty expres
jsions accumulated by use. because of
;its easy use, when the individual could
not think of good English to express
|himself. Usually rhese phrases are
limited in number and in the sphere
of expression, as compared with good
| English they are very limited. Care
lessness is the only true excuse for
the use of slang. It not only affects
| they character of the person who uses
, it, nut. also lowers the value of his di
ploma. Since slang is used through
carelessness it will be taken as a sign
of carelessness by business men. Al
though you may possess a diploma
from this or any other high school,
they may refuse to recognize you.
They will ask, "of what use is a so.
called education if you are careless."
It is because slang affects our char
acter and lowers the value of our di
ploma. that I urge that we guard
against this defect; and it its stead
practice the use of good English.
