NIKWASI NEWS
Last Tuesday night, after short
tribe medium The Niks and Wasis
joined in an informal costume dance.
The dance was not announced uiuii
after supper, ;. the costumes were
very impromptu. Despite the short
notice, however there were several
clcvct costumes. There was a Span
ish toreador and a gypsy iriaid; a
Chinee lady, a p.ierrette, and a
spoon lady, but, as usual, Miss Sin
clair took off the honors. She ap
peared dressed as a New York news,
boy, with a costume complete even
to the lone suspender and. the dirty
face !
After the grand march around the
lodge, dancing was enjoyed until. rum
ors began to spread that watermelon
might be nigh. The entire .party
broke up to find that the rumors
were indeed not false
On Thursday night the campers ac
cepted an invitation from Camp Tau
keetah to see their dance recital.
A very enjoyable program was given.
The Deserted Garden and a Grecian
dance were especially beautiful.
Friday night thirteen of the coun
selors and girls went on an over
night hike to Mr. Lowry's farm,
about four miles from the camp.
After a delightful supper cooked
over the fire we sat around the
campfire and told stories and sang
until bedtime. Each hour of the
night there were two girls on guard.
The night passed uneventfully except
for the visit of a pig. He took with
him the breakfast butter!
When dawn came, we cooked a
delicious breakfast, then took up our
beds and walked home.

Nikwasians Explore
Wayah Bald
For several days the Nikwasians
prayed for good weather and at
last Tuesday dawned clear and bright
for us. With the appearance of the
sun came wide, cheery smiles upon the
faces of the girls, for a clear day
meant but one .thing to us Wayah,
for the night !
Accordingly, at three o'clock all
the packs were piled in the trucks,
and the girls tumbled in on top,
and in the cars. "Zoola" led the
way with a huzza. She chugged
along so well that it seemed as if
she had absorbed the. hilarity of the
girls. This venerable fixture of the
camp arrived, with no difficulty, at
Cold Springs, was parked and dis
gorged her load. These girls began
the upward climb afoot, but were
soon overtaken by "Peggy" and "The
Chariot."

With a shout and a flourish, the
woodland cabin was opened. Im
mediately things were arranged. -With
fine cooperation the . girls divided
the work; some got water, some
wood, and some prepared supper.
And such a supper! We all fell
to with 'great gusto, for hiking and
cold air gave us appetites of giants'
proportions.
After supper the lonely tower heard
our shouts and gay laughter, for
everyone walked to the top to enjoy
the gorgeous sunset. At dusk, like
sheep, all wandered home. Before
a cozy wood fire we talked but the
talk that evening was not so full
of chatter as usual. The sandman
walked among us and one by one
we dropped out of the circle, which
finally broke up by mutual consent.
Whispering, however, did not cease.
Once rolled up in blankets, either
on beds or on the floor, the hushed
voices were heard.
Next morning the solemn woods
looked down astonished as one or
two early risers walked to Raven's
Cliff to view the sunrise, or went to
the old spring for water. Just as the
night before one by one we had
dropped off to sleep, now each arose
in the same manner. As the last
one " was 'up a fine hot breakfast
was served. As soon as the dishes
were washed, as many girls as could
piled into the "Chariot" and were
taken to the old camping place. On
the way back they hauled in two
great logs. Immediately, we fell to
with axes. Until dinner the even
chop-chop was heard, as the girls,
like regular woodsmen, hewed the
logs in ' quarters. A few who did
not enjoy chopping went on a short
hike and brought back some beautiful
specimens for the camp herbarium.
The morning activities had made us
a bit drowsy, so we departed, after
lunch, for forty ' winks. At - three
all was. astir again, preparatory, to
our homward trip. A fine finish
was had when , those in the truck
spied" a rattlesnake. The beautiful
snake, with thirteen rattles, was killed
with stones.
With a last race on the highway
we entered camp in high spirits.
A fine surprise awaited us a chick
en supper. What a fitting end for
two perfect days! I. Wittenborg.
Last week being tournament week,
Monday and Tuesday were spent in
practice for the different activities.
Wednesday morning immediately
after assembly the archery tourna
ment was held. Many heretofore
shining lights were hidden, while les
ser ones brightened perceptibly. Miss
es Margaret Weatherspoon and Lou
ise Barber tied for high individual
score, but in the final try, the Wasi
team won out.
. Thursday morning during a cold
drizzling rain the monthly swimming
meet was held. There were racing
events, as well as form events in
swimming and diving. Honors were
very evenly divided between the two
teams, but the Niks came out vic
torious by one point. The highest
individual score, however, was made
bv a Wasi Miss Cricket roster.
Friday night a joint stunt night
was held. The Wasis challenged the
Niks, to put on this program. Both
teams gave very interesting and clever
programs. M. Weathespoon

A Proclamation By the
Governor of North Carolina
WHEREAS, The State of North
Carolina in the first quarter of the
twentieth century has made an as
tounding record of progress which
should now be reviewed by our citi
zens and made known to all interested
Americans. Not in a spirit of pride
or boasting should this be done but
in a spirit of thanksgiving, aspiration,
and dedication to the far greater
tasks that lie yet ahead of us. We
must make "That which we have done
but earnest of the things we yet
shall do." And
WHEREAS, in this spirit the-last
General Assembly of North Carolina

all officials, citizens and the press of

this progressive movement.
Of paramount importance will be

gress and possibilities ever yet pre
sented, with addressed by eminent

corner of the State. During this
Home-Coming Week every native
North Carolinian now living outside
the state is asked to see this exhibit
of the State's resources at Raleigh
and to visit again his native county
and section.
To this end I call upon every citi
zen to send in the names of all
relatives and friends outside the state
who should be invited to this celebra
tion and I earnestly request the press

blanks which will be sent for this
purpose.

hundred and twenty-nine and in the
one hundred and fifty-fourth year of
American Independence.
O. MAX GARDNER,
Governor of North Carolina
In Mcmorhiin
The invasion of death came as a
great surprise to the many friends
of Bro. Glen Cunningham on the
first day of June, 1929. It was like
the clipping of a flower which has
just blushed into kivn and beauty.
Glen came to his end in honor . and
met death as a victor in the sunrise
and gladness of' youth while' trying
to earn a livelihood ior those he
loved.
When just 20 years old, God shook
the sunshine of spring from the folds
of His robes of light and called him
to a sphere of higher activities. He
professed faith in Christ in the year
of 1921 and joined the Iotla Baptist
church to which church he belonged
at the time of his death. He was
married to Miss Carrie Wooten in
and loved his home-life.
Had a very friendly disposition
which won for him many friends.
In a last interview with his mother,
he said, "Mother, I am satisfied with
my future hope."
His body was laid to rest beneath'
a canopy of most beautiful flowers
in the presence of p. great concourse
of people in Iotla Baptist cemetery.
Funeral services were conducted by
the writer ,and assisted by Rev.
W. H. Freeman.
He leaves to mourn his departure
a wife, a father and mother, all of
Macon county. A. S. SOLESBEE
AND STILL THEY COME V
Although our' centennial celebration
is a thing of ' the past few weeks,
letters and messages are still coming
to the chairnjan, Mrs) F. L. Siler
and to others about the 'success of the
day. '
. The ' old soldiers are sending word
that they "just never had such a
good time and good dinner."
Some of those on the program
have written of the magnitude and
success of the undertaking and they
also spoke of the dinner they had
at the Kelly Tea Room.
Miss Kelly served eight free din
ners that day and it was a source
of comfort to the committee to know
their guesst of honor were so well
cared for as to dinner.
Some of the "Boys of the -Sixties"
are suggesting that the U ,D. C.
celebrate every birthday of -the county
and it seems that we should as long
as any of them are with us.
