HOLDING ENEMY
BY WILLIAM P. SIMMS
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, April 9. The Germans at
tacked violently the British and Portu
guese positions from the Labasse canal

Supt Hoy Taylor
Hands Resignation
Superintendent Hoy Taylor of the
Greenville Public Schools, has tendered
his resignation to the Board of school
trustees to take effect at close of this
session. Mr. Taylor informs this paper
that he has made no definite plans for
the future.
Mr. Taylor has been the superinten
dent .of the schools here for the past
five years, coming to Greenville from
Biscoe, N. C, where he occupied a simi
lar position for six years. He taught
in the Cary High .School for one year
prior to this.
Mr. Taylor is an A. B. graduate from
Trinity College, this state, and an A.
M. graduate from Columbia University,
New York.
Under his administration here the
schools in all departments have made
marked progress. The enrollment has
increased sixty per cent. The present
high school building, a credit to any
town, has been erected and the play
ground equipped and surfaced. The
nupiber of teachers employed have
kept pace with the progress of the
schools. Five years ago when Mr. Tay
lor assumed duties of superintendent
there were only 70 students in the High
School and two teachers ; today, there
are 150 students with seven teachers.
During the present year a domestic de
partment has been inaugurated. The
above goes to show what Superinten
dent Taylor has seen performed durimj
his five years administration as hte
head of the Greenville school system.
Universal regret will be expressed
upota learning that Mr. Taylor has
severed his connection with the public
schools in this sity and whereever his
lot is cast the best wishes of the en.
tire community will go with him.
The resignations of Superintendent
Taylor and Principal' Epps means that
it will be up to the board of school
trustees to furnish a new superinten
dent and principal for next year's ses
sion.

The following article from the Cum
berland, Md., Evening Times, attests
the satisfaction given theatre-goers of
that city by the "Girl of My Heart"
Company.
Songs that a month or so from now
will be nation-wide hits were heard
for the first time on any stage at the
premiere last night at the Maryland
Theartre of "TheGirl of My Heart,''
a diverting and tuneful musical com
edy produced by Perry J. Kelly, with
book and lyrics by Arthur J. Lamb,
and music by Jules Chauvenet. The
staging was done by Augustin Glass
mire, the dances were put on by Max
well Schenck, and the music was un
der the direction of Louis Gress. Au
thor, producer and others connected
with the show In an official capacity
were present the first night. A good
sized audience welcomed the new mu
sical comedy, and the encores were
frquent.
It would be hard to select the one
big song hit, for nearly all the num
bers are unusually melodious, while
J others, have the snarj jarnl swing that
will make them Instant hits. "Girl ol
My Heart", "Linger by the Fountain"
and "My Mabel, Speak to Me," are the
three most pretentious and melodious
songs. Tne two nrst nameu are sure
to be popular, and the third is going
to run a close second in winning en
cores. "I Want A Husband" is the
best of all the numbers for dancing
and will be found on hundreds of pro-t
grams before spring. These are not i
all the catchy vocal numbers by any ,
means. But the others depend more
on the personality of the singers for
their effect.
Edna Luke in the leading role is all
that could be desired. Having been
here in "The Prince of Pilsen' and a
couple of other sucessful musical
shows, she is not new to Cumber
land. In "The Girl of My Heart" she
has the best role yet given her, and
she makes full use of every oppor
tunity for clever and "peppy" acting.
She.is full of life, buzzes with person
ality and wears her numerous changes
f mctnniP with distinction. She sings
VWJHMV
"You're My Pal" and "You Mustn't
Fish in My Fish Pond'' with telling
effect, and received the most whole
hearted applause for her renditions.
Florence Beresford won the audi
ence with her sweet singing voice and
charm of personality. Miss Bresford
combines beauty and grace admirably
and is an actress of much power of
expression. Her duet with Vartner

Nuptials This P. M.
God's ideal of beauty never smiled
upon a fairer bride nor a more gallant
groom, than this afternoon at 3:30 o'
clock, when Miss Annie Leonard Ty
son, one of Greenville's charming young
women, was wedded to Sergeant Syd
ney Earl Jennette, of Camp Sevier.
The nuptials were consummated in
Memorial Baptist Church, where so
many young hearts have been made to
pulsate as one till death do them part,
and was witnessed by a large com
pany of well wishers and friends. For
weeks Greenville society had been anti
cipating this auspicious event, and this
afternoon 'their anticipation glided in
to realization. Like the beautiful birds
in lovely springtime, they were mated
for all that life holds sweet, and all
wish for them during life's vicissitudes,
one grand sweet song.
The church was one of beauty; the
color scheme, white and green, being
carried out in snow bails, dogwood
blossoms, ferns, evergreens and white
tulle, this being backed up by the soft
rays of numerous waxen tapers.
