C., have the distinction of being the "twiniest” parents in America, for since Marcn 1925, they have been blessed with ; three visits by the stork, and on each occasion ubiquitous old bird presented them with a set of healthy twins. On the day that they had been married four years and three months they had acquired a familv of six normal youngsters, a record that has seldom found an equal witn no triplets to boost the family total. As far back as they have been able to trace no sets of twins eves were born to any of the ancestors of either Mr. Thompson or his wife Equality in Sexes. Singularly enough, in each of the three sets of twins there has been a boy and girl. The first set born in March, 1925. was christened Mny Susey and Clarence Victor. The eyes of the twins were of different hue. May possessed blue and Clarence’s ejes. were a deep brown. In October, 1926, another pair of twins came to make their home with the Thomasons. Again It was a boy and girl, and these were named Margaret Lucile and Marvin Etigane, and again the girl had blue eyes and the boy brown. Sometime before August 1928, the Thomasons knew that the myster ious old bird would make them an other visit, and rather hoped, be cause they were not particularly well-to-do, that the stork would be content to deliver them Just one baby. For tlie third time the bundle con tained two healthy youngsters, an other boy and girl. They were christened with double names—E'. canor Lois and William Lewis. The color of the eyes; however, In this pair was reversed. The boy had blue eyes and the girl brown that match ed those of her two other brothers. With the arrival of the third set of twins, the Thomasons’ naturally began to feel that they, by some vhim of nature, were destined to Increase the population of Spartan burg at, a more rapid rate than any cl their neighbors. The distinction of being the par ents of three healthy braces twins was, they thought, worth while in its way. but the expense and care and the hard work con nected with the rearing of the chil dren was something else to worry about. The mother and father, however, are fortunate In having about the healthiest and happiest, babies that THE PIEDMONT’S FINEST FLOUR Always Good — Always Uniform *—* Always Best. Eagle Roller Mill Co. parents could hope lor, only once since the first pair twins came ha lt become necessary to call a doc tor to the amply populated house hold. Each of the six little Thomasons is possessed with usual vigor. They are bright and well behaved. The mother has. by experience, master ed the knack of caring for the ; oungsters in pairs, and as a resuit of training each set of twins plays together. This is much better, she thinks, than having the sextet mix ed up together. Strange as it may seem, each twin prefers his mate to any of the other children, and seldom showi any manner of selfishness in shar ing toys or food with his partner Childish difficulties naturally arise, and in such instances each twin In variably takes sides with his mate. The Thomasons are not bringing up their unusual family without the community spirit. They are tact fully teaching all the youngsters that they are of equal importance to the family group. They belie ;e however, that each set of twins should play more together than with other children because youngsters ci the same age get on better togeth er than with children older or young cr than themselves. Mrs. Thomason loves every one of her children dearly and is glad that she has them, but she is frank ir. saying that the care of the three sets of twins is a full time job that most women would find a bit too strenuous and exacting. In Phoenix, Ariz., Henry Leggett took his new roadster out for a drive, was astonished when two great battling owls burst thru the windshield, showering him with fur, glass, feathers.

METHODIST BODY FAVORS REVISING MARRIAGE VOW Dallas, Texas.—The committee on revisals of the Methodist Epis copal church south concurred in the memorial of the Louisville con ference to amend the marriage ceremony of the church by strik ing out the words "obey'’ and "Serve.” The memorial will oe submitted to the general conference of the church now in session here. Parker Only an "Incident.” New York Times. It was more than once remark ed in the course of the senate debate on the nomination of Judge Parker that his personality was purely in cidental to the great controversy. His private character and his Judi cial integrity were Impeached by no cne. Perhaps no man named for the Supreme court ever had a more im posing list of endorsers They in cluded two United States circuit judges, 100 United States district judges, many state judges, the pres ident and-five former presidents of the American Bar association; 21! presidents of state and county bar associatoins, with hundreds of law yers and other prominent citizens. Into the refusal of the senate to confirm an appointment backed by such credentials, powerful reasons must have entered. What were they? Judge Parker’s personal bearing throughout the contest must have influenced the decision against him He showed himself too anxious, too 'mall-minded. He fairly rained let ters and telegrams upon the senate. His attitude was very far from that )f a judge wrapping his robes about Himself in simple dignity, and ignor ng the strife of tongues and the is noble clash of arguments over nis nomination. Judge Parker neither held himself austerely aloof nor med died with propriety and effect. There can be no doubt that his ac tivities. too much like those of a candidate for the office of sheriff, lowered the prestige both of the of l.ce which he sought and the of fice which he held. His labor decision in one great; y controverted case was used against him with damaging effect. By some it was employed sincerely, but by many others simply as a crafty way of masking their real motives. No one can say how many senators were persuaded, against their be;t Judgment and their inclination, to vote against Judge Parker solely be cause they feared reprisals from or ganized labor in the next election if they voted for him. Similar was the case with the protests and threa*3 made in the name of negro citizens. Several weak-kneed senators evi dently went down before them. As for those Southern senators who is fused to vote for Judge Parker al though they agreed heartily with his view of the present unfitness of negroes to hold high office, their motive seems to have been mainly not to pull chestnuts out of the fire for the embroiled Republicans.
