With him were Miss Cora Lee Mull, of Black VT tain &nd Spindale; his thirteen igpold brother Gudger Mask; Jas per Williams and a Mr. Case. Gud ger Mask was riding on the right fender and Case was riding on the left fender. They had been picked up by Fred Mask just outside of Spindale. The other three occu pants of the car were riding in the seat. A truck, belonging to the Cham pion Lumber Co., of Spindale, was standing on the right side of the road. Two mechanics were work ing on it As Mask vcent to pass the truck a car approached from towards Forest City, with bright lights. Mask did not see the truck anu( swerved to the right to miss the oncoming car and ran under the end of the long bed of the truck. The truck has several scars and a broken bed beam that would indicate that Mask was driv ing at a rapid rate of speed. Miss Mull's body was thrown on to the truck bed, but soon rolled off into the road, and she died within a few minutes. Her entire body was horribly mangled and mutilated. The face was almost unrecognizable; neck broken, left breast torn away and all of the flesh cut away to the bone on her right arm, several large gashes on her legs and body, besides minor bruises and cuts. Her body was re moved to Hovis' Undertaking Shop, at Rutherfordton, where it was kept until it was shipped Monday to Black Mountain. Gudger Mask was rushed to the Rutherford hospital and died about 10:30 Saturday night, of internal injuries. He received no external cuts or bruises. Williams and Case escaped unhurt, while Fred Mask, the driver, was slightly injured about the head and arms. Miss Mull is the daughter of Van B. Mull, formerly of this county, but now of Black Mountain. She was eighteen years old, and had been living at Spindale for some time. Gudger Mask is the thirteen year old son of Mr. and) Mrs. William A. Mask, of Spindale. He was a brother to Fred Mask, the driver. Gudger was buried at Providence M. E.

The fall term of Superior Court con vened Monday morning, with Judge J. E. Webb, of Charlotte, presiding. There are several cases of interest that will be taken up at this term of court also a number of cases for violation of the prohibition laws. Monday and Tuesday were taken up in selecting jurors. BETTERMENT CLUB MEETS The ladies of the Betterment Club met with Mrs. R. E. Bigger .staff on Tuesday afternoon, at which time new officers for the en suing year were elected as follows: President Mrs. C. E. Alcock. Vice-Pres. Mrs. J. H. Thomas. Secretary - Treasurer Mrs. R. E. Biggerstaff. After the business session a most delightful social hour was held; at which time the ladies of the club presented Mrs. Parker Holmes with a traveling bag and a caribou neck piece, a small token of their love and esteem for one who has been so faithful and helpful to the club and Forest City in all work undertaken by the club. It is with deepest re gret that we give Mrs. Holmes up, but we ueartily commend her to the community in which she is to re side, and we feel our loss is their gain. A splendid meeting was held, sixteen being present. Mrs. Big gerstaff served a delightful salad course and hot coffee. LADIES' NIGHT BIG S Kiwanians Have Hallowe'en Festivities Splendid Sup per And Enjoyable Program Followed By Party. Good fellowship reigned supreme at Kiwanis Hall Monday night when one of the most enjoyable meetings ever held was put on by the club. Ladies' night wras cele brated by turning the occasion into a Hallowe'en party that was enjoy ed by a big crowd. The hall was fittingly decorated for the occasion, the supper was all to be desired! and the program was good throughout. Following the club supper, numbers were invited to come and take part in a Hallo we'en party that proved one of the most pleasant occasions held here for some time. Nearly all were masked for the occasion and the many splendid cos tumes elicited exclamations of de light. Music was furnished by Moore's orchestra. The program for Ladies' night was most capably handled by Messrs. John Dalton and "Weinie" Brown. Dr. W. C. Bostic made a short but eloquent address of wel come to the ladies. Soon the "Scrap Iron Quartet" was called in to action and their singing was roundly encored. Much merriment was occasioned when Mr B. B. Doggett was called upon to explain why he left his crowd at the county fair. Mrs. Doggett being present, he had a hard time in making his explana tion, which may, or may not, have been accepted by his "better half." Miss Jaunita Minish, called upon to tell why skirts are short, gave a short but very apt answer. Mr. J. H. Thomas, called upon to render a selection upon a Jews Harp failed to make the grade with that particular musical instrument, but came up strong in handling a horn. Mesdames A. C. Duncan and G. C. McDaniel were further question ed as to just why they married their husbands. These ladies had before answered the question, but came back strong in the second effort. One of the most hotly contested events of the evening was the de bate between Messrs. Tom Moss and J. M. Edwards. Bobbed Hair" was strongly defended by the latter, while the former just as valiantly championed the long locks, despite the fact that his guest sat at his ske with a "bob." It seemed to be a question as to just who won the argument, and in the excitement of the moment we failed to get the judges' decision. So you will have to ask some one else for the winner. The latter part of the program uCCESS PIEDMONT HUMBLED AGAIN BY FOREST CITY HIGH The local high football team re peated their performance of the previous week by defeating the Piedmont High School here Friday 19 to 0. The game was an exciting affair from the very beginning. Both elevens battled throughout the first period. on an equal footing and i it looked as if it might be any body's game. The period ended without either team scoring. Dur ing the second quarter the local boys began to show their offensive and after a series of first downs Ayers had circled the right end for a touchdown. Ayers then kicked a goal for the extra point. The next scoring came early in the third quar ter after Forest City had kicked off to Piedmont and held them for downs. Piedmont's center passed one high on the fourth down and the ball went over on the five yard line. Ayers moved it four more, around the end and then Moss threw weight into the line for a touch down. The try for point failed. The third period ended Forest City 13, Piedmont 0. Again in the fourth quarter Ayers demonstrated his ability to carry the oval. With his entire backfield running perfect in terference he circled the left end for thirty-five yards and a touch down. Ayers failed at goal. The game was a good one considering the extreme heat and dust under which the boys had to battle. The Piedmont team put up a stiff battle but were outclassed by the home boys. The entire Forest City team could be commended for the fight they made. McKeithan played a great game on the defense, often getting the man behind the line be fore he could get started. In the line McBrayer, Young and Watkins showed up well. The entire back field played in their usual form. The line-up for Forest City was as follows: L. E., Watkins; L. T., Young; L. G., McBrayer; C, Mc Keithan; R. G., Duncan; R; T.. Smart; R. E., Tedder; Q. B., Ayers; R. H., Kerr; L. H., Coon; F. B., Moss; substitutes: Moore, Laugh ridge, Ware, Marks. The team journeys to Marion this week-end where a hard game is ex pected. Since the students get a half holiday Friday a number of them are expected to accompany the boys to Marion. The next game at home will be on Armistice Day, with King's Mountain. was capably handled by Mr. R. L. Brown. The attendance prize was un animously awarded to Mrs. Parker Holmes, who has so faithfully and efficiently helped in the Betterment Club's serving of the meals to the Kiwanians. Miss Myrtle Hemphill won the prize for the most artistic costume. BOSTIC NEWS MEREST Rev. C. M. Rollins Ordained Miss Hollifield Entertains School News Personals. BOSTIC, Oct. 28. Rev. L. L.
