Spindale, April 266—The Young Women's Class and the Young Men's Class, of the Methodist Sunday school held an enjoyable social at the Spin dale House Thursday evening, con cluding a contest between the two classes. Thh-ty young people of both classes were present. A social hour, in charge of Mr. Milton Apperson, was enjoyed, followed by "refresh ments. Short talks were made by Mr. G. B.

A Health Night program was held at the Spindale House Friday eve ning at 7:30. The meeting was open to the public and a large number attended. Dr. D. P. Murphy spoke on "The Prevention of Cancer", and Dr. J. C. Twitty talked on the sub ject "The underprivileged Child." Mrs. H. R. Sherrill, community nurse, spoke on "The care of Tuberculosis patients and the need of a county nurse." This program was following up what was probably the first in dustrial eye conservation clinic ever held in the state, which took place two weeks ago at the office build ing. The nurse, Mrs. H. R. Sherrill worked up the clinic, and Dr. O. J. Houser of Charlotte, was the spec ialist in charge. It was held for the employees of the mills of Spindale and their families. About thirty-five children and adults were examined and given proper treatment. Dr. Houser delivered a free public lec ture on the care of the eyes in the school auditorium in connection with the clinic. Mayor S. E. Elmore spoke on "Why Spindale Has a Nurse and an Eye Clinic." Another clinic was held April 21st. Born, Wednesday, to Mr. and Mrs. Odell Harrill, a son. WESLEYAN CHURCH REVIVAL CLOSES The revival meeting which has been in progress at the local Wesleyan church closed Sunday night. Evangelist Gleason did some good preaching as was evidenced by the result of the meeting. A goodly num ber of professions occurred during the meeting, and the church was greatly helped. Rev. Mr. Gleason left Monday for Central, S. C., where he begins a tent meeting Friday of this week. Among the subjects the evangelist preached from, the following are con sidered among the best: "A Lily Christian," "Littlfe Sins," "The Ap peal of Gethsemane", "The Holy Ghost," "The Double Sin and the Double Cure," "The Destiny of a Lost Soul," "The Heart", and "The Second Coming." BOYD HOLLOWAY, | SHOWMAN, HERE FOR ENTIRE WEEK - Owner of The Milt Tolbert Show Speaks of Forest City's Remarkable Growth I \ J I Boyd Holloway, executive head of the celebrated Milt Tolbert Shows, now playing th|> city, arrived in this city Monday morning. He is here, personally to appear in each evening's performance of the Milt, Tolbert Show. For the past fourteen years Mr. Holloway has been touring the country actively in charge of his company or happening in to see that the standards established at the be ginning of the season, has been rig idly adhered to—The Milt Tolbert mark of high quality. Mr. Holloway ; knows the value of that trade mark | can only endure 'when personal atten ! tion is given to the maintaining of | it. There is, perhaps no more pictur , esque figure in the theatrical world i today than Boyd Holloway, interview ; ed yesterday, while actively engaged | in his dressing room. Mr. Holloway | greeted the writer with a handshake i that fitted perfectly with his person. I Holloway is of medium statue, and is ! an athlete in statue. He strikes out iat once as being cosmopolitan and i his cordial manner and cordial hand : clasp add a deeper impression of straightforwardness and suggests the man of the middle west. It was not a surprise to learn Mr. Holloway was born in Monroe, N. C. and comes of a family of theatrical and musical men. I am thoroughly impressed with the spirit of real business activity and i prosperity I encounter in these cities !we are playing. The talk of hard j times would seem to be a myth. Our i company is doing a tremendous bus iness everywhere and it seems to me that every city, realizes what it means to travellers like us to come back to our former haunts again af ter a year's absence. The changes that are coming to pass are astounding. Time passes, but in it's passing it brings remark able changes which occasional vis itors notice particularly. Around here, for instance, I have met several bus iness men who have reminded us that a few years back they were boys around the theatre where we played. Today, they are familied men, in many cases. Your civic clubs like the Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions and Cham ber of Commerce are all leaving alert progressive imprints upon their towns, while the activities of your women's organizations are being splendidly manifested in your schools and your social institutions. All of these forward steps are apparent to the visitor within your walls. All of this, has a powerful effect upon theatre fare. Undoubtedly the fact that the repetoire of plays be ing presented by The Milt Tolbert Show have been selected from the very biggest hits of New York's re j cent seasons, is largely responsible for the fact that we are breaking our attendance records in almost ev ery city. Merit is the only 'quality necessary in play-offerings today. If you haven't it you might just as well send your troupe to the store house. This is an age of thinking and read ing men and women. Barnum may j have been able to fool the public— I but even he couldn't have done it j today I believe. Then we asked Mr. Holloway of his big ambitions—of what after the years that have brought him big fi nancial returns, he now turns his thoughts and plans—and dreams per haps. 'Ambitions." The gods have been kind to me, all I want now is a chance to work—and to help the other fellow to do his work. My wife and I have a home in Florida, where we are a part of the community, of : the church, the schools and the theat | rical world- I've found life in it's j living a place of pretty near content j ment. I guess that is my ambition j to have the chance to continue work. i MOTHERS' DAY AT BETHEL CHURCH There will be "Mothers' D#y" ex ercises held at Ellenboro Bethel Bap tist church Sunday, May Bth. Special services 9:30 o'clock; Sunday school, 10:30; decorating graves, 10:45; re cital by children 11:00; sermon by D. J. Hunt. Everybody invited. "\ Early mid-summer model hats now on display.

ANNOUNCEMENT To The Citizens of Forest City: I do not wish to start any newspaper discussion, but a number of my i friends have urged me to make an explanation concerning some of the propaganda that has been started since I entered the race for Mayor. First, it has been stated that if I am elected Mayor of Forest City that I intend to send any cases that are supposed to come before me to j the Recorder's Court at Rutherford ton. I should like to say that such rumor is false, and that if I am elect ed I shall try all cases that are sup posed to come before the Mayor. I should also like to say there are many other rumors floating around, but they are as false as the one start ing them. I have made no promises nor threats. In the first place, I would make no promises, because anything that is done must be done by the Aldermen, and the Mayor has no vote except in ca€e of a tie. If the Mayor's influence is gcod he might recommend and be instrument al in getting something done. I would advise the citizens of Forest City to think for themselves and to know 1 that any promises made will only ex i tend so far as the influence of the one making that promise extends. j Lastly, I should like to say that if j I am elected Mayor, I shall give the | office all the time that it needs to j fulfill the duties of that office. I I shall play no favorites and will lend my influence to make our pretty lit tle city one of the best. Sincerely, CHAS. Z. FLACK.
