Manaing Eleven Wins Game From St. Matthew In the most exciting game of foot ball ever seen here Manning ducated St. Matthew's Friday by the score of 6 to 0. The two teams were evenly matched and fought for three periods without a score. Manning carried the ball to the one-yard line in the second quarter, but was unable to put it over. During the second half St. Matthew's, being unable to gain through the line or around the ends, opened up an aerial attack, but was unable to gain, so was forced to punt. Manning scored the only touch-down when McLeod intercepted a passand ran forty yards. The entire Manning line played a great game, St. Mat thew's at no time making any sub stantial gains. Golphin, of St. Mat thew's, ran his team well and was good at returning punts. Land, Mc Leod and Bowen gained the most ground for Manning. Manning plays Conway here next Friday.

H.; Felton of C Deliver Speech Beta , Successful in Eft Path for Amei Washington, Nov. 21.-Mrs. W. H. Felton of Georgia took the oath of office today as the first woman United States senator. It was true that her term probably will be only for a day, but the cere mony crowned with success the efforts of the 87 year old woman had made to "blave the path for American wo manhood" in the senate and it was indicated that she would be content to step aside tomorrow in favor, of Walter P. George, who wps elected November 7 as her successor to fill the unexpired term of the late Sena tor Watson. It was to the vacancy caused by this death Mrs. Felton was appointed last September to serve un til the November elections. The seating of Mrs. Felton attracted a crowd to the senate which rivalled that which had greeted President Harding a short time before in the house, where he addressed congress in joint session. . And she was at once showered with congratulations upon the signal honor. When she was directed to proceed to the rostrum for the administering of the oath of office her face broke ift, a smile. On the arms of Senator Harris of Georgia and lifting her gown daintily, she walked down the center aisle and up to the vice presi dent's desk, where Senator Cummins of Iowa, president protein, was pre siding in the absence from theci ty of Vice President Coolidge. As Senator Cummins motioned for her to raise her right hand she ex hibited her only sign of unfamiliarity with the proceedings, waving her hand to Mr. Cummins and smiling as if re ceiving a similar salute. Senator Har ris nudged her arm, however, and she then raised it, gazing intently at Sen ator Cummins as the oath was deliv ered and giving her response in a low voice. The seating of Mrs. Felton had been expected in view of the tactical agree ment of the senate leaders to inter pose no objection in the face of pos sible technical precedents as' to her status after the election on November 7 of her successor. But for a time today it appeared as though such ob jection might be offered and definite assurance that the oath would be ad ministered was not reached until a delay of two hours. In fact, it was not until after President Harding had de livered his address to the joint sea Parole Does Not Sentence, Columbia, Nov. 20.-In an opinion handed dlown today, the State Su preme Court, in the case of Grover 'Crooks, who was suing for habeas corpus held that a parole issued by the Governor of South Carolina to convicts did not suspend their sen tences but that .such sentence run concurrently with the parole; or, in effect, that the prisoner was still in' the custody of the State but without his prison bounds under executive sanction. The court instructed Col. A. K. Sanders superintendent of the State penitentiary, to turn Crooks back to the sheriff of Oconee Coun ty, because the revocation of Crook's parde by Governor Harvey on Sep tember 13, 1922, was not legal. The opinion was written by As sociate Justice J. H. Marion and is an exhaustive treatise on the par doning power of the Governor. It was concurred in by the other mem bers of the coturt with the' exception of Chief Justice Eugene 1B. Gary, who merely stated that he dissented, with out giving his reasoning. Sentences Continue to Run Under the weight of the decision, when a convict is paroled, his sen tence continues to run, and, re gardlless of the stipulations sur rounding his freedom, when this sentence has expired ho is with out the custody of the State. Until clarified by the court, the general conception o t a parole was tha6 the sentence was suspended and .the prisoner could be re-possessed by the State during the time of his natur al life for violation of ny of the SENATOR KES HER SEAT eorgia Takes Oath--May re Retiring Today ort to Blaze the -lean Women. sion that Mrs. Felton was given her seat. The principal delay was due to an address of Senator Walsh (Democrat) of Montana in supoprt of her claim to the senate sea. This address, which, was not on the program of the lead ers, went into the precedents involv ed in the proposed course and at first gave the impression that the Montana senator was opposing Mrs. Felton's claims. But'later Mr. Walsh swung into strong support of her position, declaring that her title was clear and thab granting it should not be consid ered a favor or a chivalrous act. But at no time did Mrs. Felton ex hibit nervousness, sitting with hands folded in her lap and with eyes on the Montana senator. She arrived a half hour before the senate convened and took the seat on the floor of the last Senator Watson, after giving her wraps to a senate page and seeing that they were hung in the Democrat ic cloak room. The address of Senator Walsh was broken by the joint sesison for the president's message and Mrs. Felon attended, walking to the house cham ber on the arm of Senator Harris and occupying a seat between him and Senator-elect George near the center aisle. She then returned to the sen ate, where Senator Walsh concluded his address and she was sworn in. After receiving the oath she returned to her seat on the floor and watched the routine proceedings with a keen eye until senate adjourned. Before going to the capitol today Mrs. eFlton went to the White House and paid her respects to President Harding. She is expected to be in her seat in the senate tomorrow, but it is understood that Senator-elect George will present his claim to the seat after Mrs. Felton . has answered one roll call and perhaps delivered a brief address. Then it is understood she will retire without ob;,ection in favor of Mr. George, whose 'e.'ay in presenting his election credentials made possible the seating of the iir. woman senator. Asheville, N. C., Nov. 21.-Approxi mately $700,000 is bequeathed for sci entific research into the prevention and cure of tuberculosis by the terms of the will of the late Karl Von Ruck of Asheville, an eminent tuberculosis authority, who died November 5. Suspend is Court Ruling stiplulations of the p~arole. Since parole was grafted into the law in 1909 by statutory provision, it has heen a favorite mode of cle mency with South Carolina Governors for the reason that they supposed the stipulations in the grant would have to be lived up to, putting a deterrent in the path of a return to crime other wise the convict would have to comn plete his interruptedl sentence. How ever, the Supreme Court through its dlecision holds this to be a false doc trine. May Ask Remedy In some States in which the pa role system is in effect there is a statutory provision, providing for merely a suspended sentence when a parole is granted, and the pris oner can be re-incarcerated at any time for just cause. Although he had nothing to say for publication concernir.g thie opinion, it is prob able that Governor Harvey, when he drafts his message to the Gen eral Assembly, will ask that sta tutory hedges be put around paroles granted in the future. In the grant ing of a parole there is no return of citIzenship, which is the ease when a pardon is given; and the majority of Governors seem averse to giving a full p~ardon, except when there i shown to be a flagrant miscarriage of justice. The opinion of Justiee Marion goes Into full history of the Crooks case sad he cites copious authorities on which the reasoning of the court is bottomerd.

Revival Services Closed Here Sunday Night Tlhe union revival services held last wveek in the Manning B3aptist Church came to a close on Sunday night. From the beginani ng of the revival the Church was taxedl to af'ordl seating room for t hose who came. The con gregation at. the morning services was unusually large, many affirming that they had never seen such crowds at the day services of a revival in Manning. The three resident past ors, Messrs. McCord, Fe wler and Easley preached in succession at the services. Miss Isabella Thomas andl Mr. Joe D~avis had charge of the music. A number of the members of the Business Men's Evangelistic Club took active part and rendered great assistance. It was greatly regretted by all that both Mr. Fowler and Mr. McCord were taken sick before the close of the meeting. They were greatly missed on the last (lay. After the sermon on Sunday night a number of those present gave ex pression to their opinion of the series of services, and were unamnious in speaking of the great goodl that the meeting had done.
