SUNDAY DECEMBER 27. IN SALE HALL Chapel. Mr. George Harrison. a Morehouse senior. will appear on a program Nir Harrison, who all through his life, has played the role of entertainer on class programs. in churches, at dances, and at informal get-togethers, due to his innate ability to recite and interpret Dunbar selections, will thrill the local public. Because of ihe fact that Harrison is a local youth. and because of the fact that a Silver Offering to be taken up after the program is to benefit the Morehouse Endowment Fund, it 1s hoped that a large throng will be out. The time is four-thirty o'clock in the afternoon. “MARINERS" TONITE LA CLIQUE DE DIX-SEPT will thrill the Younger Set with a breakfast dance at Flower's Villa this morning. The *“Mariners” will take charge of the throngs tonight at Sunset Casina. The "“Glaxo-Girls” will continue the mirth next Saturday. January 2. in the afternoon, at Sunset Casino. And, of céurse, the Sigma Gamma Rho conclave will take care of all the space in between. It opens up with a business meeting Sunday cvening. Just thought of a few more personalities in the city for the gay Yule festivities, to wit, Mr. George Crockett, and Professors T. S. Reddingg and S. M. Nabrit. THE OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY uncorked the week's head liner Wednesday night at the Flower's Villa. There were so many Fraters and Sorors present that the gay little ringer took on the aspect of a Greek Letter Ball. J. Neal Montgomery tinkled the ivories with merciless runs up and down the scale; Bill Brown relieved him for a number or two and made everybody “happy” on ‘Sleepy Time Down South!’ Edwin Driskell and those freakish notes had a CELE BRATION. Hardy Kelly, Neal's Cincinnati supplement, trumpeted his way into local favoritism. Clarke flirted with mute and megaphone, and boy what effects he produced! With such unusual boop-boopa ldooping. those Omegas and their colorful guests were “aroused” early in the night, and Neal, the “Puffesser of Torrid Tunes’ was smiling al most from ear to ear. THE LOWDOWN AFFABLE MISS HENRIETTA SMITH, esteemed deb of ihe Youn er Set, was so mirthful that she radiated an electrical charge through all present. Hazel Hart said even the brights lights of Gotham and the Big City were never more okay by her. Mary Frances Smith and Beatrice Watkins, here for the Xmas season from their teaching pro fession, manifested that telltale elation of live-wire debs glad to get back to the ole home town and the ‘“gang.” Carrie Lou Bridges chatted with words that sparkled, danced with feet that stole across the hardwood. and flaunted an attractive gown. Ethel More looked like a cute little REBELLION with that ‘sassy’ barb playing tag about her olive skin. Nita Perkins, Willie Harper, Lila Henderson, Lillie Smith, Evelyn Thomas, Elease Harrison, Melvina Armstrong. Sadye Watson. Ida Louise Jones, Ernestine Anthony, Effie O'Neal, Mildred Richardson, Dorothy Robinson. Norma Michael, Mamie Cabaniss, and Hortense Walker were other vivacious young ladies tripping the light and fantastic toe. Hortense was in the whirl again after a short lay off and it was like old times to see her back in place. Mildred Combs, with those cute li'l chinkish eyes and features, was there too. Brothers in Omega present were Dr. Marcellus M. Moore, Mortimer Herman Robinson, H. J. Furlowe, Clinton Gibson, Professors B. R. Brazeal and J.

C., Dec. 22.- (By The Associated Negro Press) Republican circles in North Caro lina were startled Friday, when District Attorney B. | Gavia | preempted the records of the Hepu blican State Committee Evidenie | is said to show that James S Dun | can, chairman and W. H l"nst;rl secretary, both white, have been | coliciting monthly contributions | from federal office holders in the | state. | The district attorney notified Judge Johnson J. Hayes, the fed eral jurist who a few weeks ago held election officials to accoun. at Sechrest for refusing to register colored voters. Judge Hayes has a reputation for being severe but fair. The case recalls similar actior taken against Perry W. Howard, national committeeman from Miss issippi and Ben J. Davis, secretary of the Republican State Committee in Georgia two years ago. The district attorney is a candidate for 1eappointment but was not endors ed for the post by the state execu tive committee of the Republican party which met here two weak: ago. “a school mam” in the Elementary Department of the D. T Howard School. Miss Day seems to retain that same charming personality that won her many friend during her school days.

Robbery Is Motive According to the slain man’s mother, Mrs. Gracy Miller, robbery seemed to have been the only motive for the murder. The robber or robbers must have killed Mor ris when they discovered that he didn't have any money. The posi tion of his body indicated that he put up a struggle before the assail ants overpowered him. Captain Glisson of the Homicide Bureau is still investigating the case. Widow And Two Children The deceased, judging from the deep gashes on the head and body, must have been beaten to death with a car pump or jack, the mem bers of the family expressed. He had been dead several hours before his body was discovered. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Pauline Miller. two children, Lucius and Loving Mil ler, a mother, Mrs. Gracy Miller. three brothers, Jim, Howard, and Eddie Miller, and one sister. Mrs. Willie Davis.
