Hayes, the play is selected by the class for presentation, is a most enjoyable and pleasing story. The cast was admirably selected and showed excellent training, under the directorship of Mrs. Julia Bethea Nanny, sponsor of the class. The plot was full of many tense moments as well as a number of mirth provoking scensc. False imper sonation, the hand of the law, greed of property, feminine jealousy, and springtime romance were all portray ed by the youthful actors. The cast was well balanced, and it would be hard to select a leading character from among the repressed constable, the attractive spitfire, with clinging vine ‘‘baby," the pair of country come dians. the young guardian, the con ceited city gentleman, the sweet and pretty neighbor, the haughty sister in-law. the village old maid still un tocompenscd, the ambitious old maid finally rewarded, and the sprightly careaker who spoke her mind. Per haps the role best sustained through out the entire play was that of Polty Biddle played in a natural, sincere, and spirited manner by Rowena Daniel. The cast of characters follows: Bob Matthews, assumed guardian— Tommy Jenkins. Charlie Lawrence, his go-getter friend—Edgar Edwards. Spud McClosky, Mickey McGuire, (direct from Sunshine Alley)—Jimmy Peck, Malone Parham. Cal Pickens, village constable —Alex Davis. Betty Ann Stewart, human whirl wind —Miriam Pinnell. Nancy Prescott, pretty neighbor— Mary Eliza Powell. Loretta Harris, a clinging vine— Frances Furqueron. Polly Biddle, caretaker —Rowena Daniel. m Malvina Kurtz, ambitious for a beau—Lucille Finch. Mrs. Forest, ambitious for property Katherine Singleton. Annabell Spriggins, the village old maid—Neita Allen. It is interesting to note that the class was able to present an entirely different type of play from those given by the same class at Christ mas of last year, While this play was of a lighter nature, the acting showed greater ease and slightly more ma turity of character portrayal. Before the rising of the curtain and between acts the audience was enter tained by vocal selections by Frances Just Like a Pal to Prince Vi imuriirM-Vi-n:' : Newest photo of Countess of Carrick, a native of Philadelphia, who has Newest pnoio popular figures in London society since she be become one of.the most|PoP > of the Prince of Wales .

Mission Society Met on Thursday The Woman's Missionary Society of White Mmorial M. E. Church, met with Mrs. Sudic Harris at her home in South Henderson. Thursday even ing at 7:30 o'clock. The meeting opened with prayer by the president, Mrs. Henry Tucker. The minutes were read, roll called, and reports given. The president voiced appre ciation of the cooperation received during the year, and urged the so ciety to begin the new year with re newed interest. A very interesting program, in charge of Mrs. Clyde Inscoe, was given. Christmas songs were used in beginning the dcvotionals and the scripture was read by Mrs. George Hay. Prayer was offered by Mrs. R. O. Woodlief. The Missionary leaflets for discus sion were brief stories of experiences encountered in the Mission Fields and also emphasized the great work which is being accomplished through he Wesley and Bethlehem Houses, mission centers of the home land. The meeting adjourned with prayer \V Mrs. C. S. Catlett, after which a uief social period was enjoyed. Recognition For Industrialist Is Denied by Berry (Continued from Page Due.) •'ftei Berry concluded his opening ad dress. Then A. P. Haakc. of Chicago, who oiid he represented the National Fur niture Manufacturers Association, 'eaped from his chair and demanded recognition. After he had been advised to do his talking before a round table confer ence, he demanded too rigid of an American citizen “to talk immediate ly.” “You know you were sent here to dynamite this meeting, and I’m not going to let you do it.” “You arc an unqualified liar,’ Haake roared back. “You're another, and if you come up here I’ll make you eat it, eat it, cat it,” Berry retorted. The confusion, resulitng from the delegates leaving the hail and rears of “sit down” from the labor delegation, stopped any further exchange. Berry stayed on the platform and not on the floor. i 2 lb. box crackers 36c ■ 5 lb. can peanut butter ... 75c I 1 lb. loose pure black pepper 13c I DICKSON & CO. 123 Horner Street Phone 359 j ga—■eaiiiUM Marland Martin Pattern ~ V L; '" 9667 Dowell Asked to Manage Campaign For Governor (Continued from Page One.) campaign of at least one of them. “All three of the candidates— in fact, all five of them—aie good friends of mine—it might have been any one of them,” was all Dowell would say. ‘‘You guess who it was.” Those who know that Dowell has been asked to become the campaign manager for at least one of the can didates, believe that Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, of Winston-Salem, is the one who sought his services, although some think it was Lieutenant Gover nor A. H. (Sandy) Graham. Hardly any one believes that Clyde R. Hoey, John A. Mcßae or Colonel T. i,. Kirkpatrick—if he is still running for governor—have asked Dowell's assis tance, though one or two have ex pressed the opinion that Hoey could not do better than get Dowell to man age his campaign. Hut the belief is that it was Mc- Dowell who first approached Dowell, though some think that Graham and his forces were and perhaps still are trying to get Dowell to take care of his campaign. The reason for this be lief is that McDonald is the only can didate running on a platform pledged to the complete repeal of the sales tax. also that McDonald is the young est of all the candidates, with less political experience and hence more in need of a manager with a State wide acquaintance and with a good working knowledge of practical po litics. If McDonald could secure Dowell as his campaign manager, he would more than ever be in a position to solidify the support of the 25,000 or more merchants in the State, all of whom Dowell knows intimately, as well as the thousands of personal friends and acquaintances Dowell has through the State. For after about eight years as the active head of the merchants and as their principal po litical strategist, Dowell is conceded to be one of the canniest political gen erals in the entire State. So if Mc- Donald could have obtained Dowell’s services, he would have greatly strengthened his campaign and his chances of being nominated, many observers here agree.

Even now it is not believed that many of the larger merchants will support McDonald because they arc believed to prefer the sales tax and the trouble of collecting it to the pay ment of heavier franchise and pri vilage taxes. So it would have been a big boost for the Graham forces if I they could have obtained Dowell as i campaign manager. There is a possi bility, of course, that either McDon j old or Graham may yet he able to | persuade Dowell to accept the job, but | this is not regarded as likely, i In the first place, few who know what is going on behind the scenes believe the merchants will let Dowell leave the helm of their organization to manager a campaign for any one —not even to run for State Auditor. Too many of the merchants already realize that they would have been sunk much deeper than the sales tax has sunk them if it had not been for Dowell and the night and day watch he kept over their interests in the last four sessions of the General Assem bly, most observers here agree. Many of these merchants now agree that whoever is elected governor, that with i the increasing demand for more State. ; revenue for schools and all other pur poses, they will need Dowell to help | them even more than ever in 1937. I And in order to be in position in ! which he may have to fight, whatever j candidate is elected governor, Dowell cannot afford to take any sides in j the present campaign, it is pointed out. Accordingly, Dowell is not expected either to become a manager of the campaign of any of the candidates for governor, nor even to become a can i didate for a State office, such as | State Auditor, for which he is being 1 mentioned, although there arc many I who would like to sec him run and j thus eliminate him from any future | opposition to the sales tax. For Dowell is a fighter and loves to fight—clean and out in the open. So he is expected to stick with the merchants and again to become the hardest egg which the sales tax forces will have to try to crack in the 1937 General Assembly. lo accomplish in a. few minutes what we believe no one drug fornitiia chii do in so short a. time. “B.
