' ?the Rock Hill high school football
team, which has recently received
considerable newspaper publicity
{ and has been the subject of numerous
more or less1 acrimonious discussions
by followers of the same since
the season opened a few weeks ago,
broke out afresh in Chester last
Thursday and the matter has Seen referred
for settlement to Major James
D. Fulp, superintendent of the Abbei
ville schools, as chairman of the
I football committee of the South Carolina
High School league.
(According to information reaching
Fort Mill from Chester, Rock Hill
* . and "Abbeville, charges against the
eligibility^ of Douglas Ninas have been
made to Major Fhlp, presumably by
. the Chester school, based, It is stated,
upon information furnished the Chester
school authorittes>by Prof. F. M.
' Mack, superintendent of the Fort
\ Mill BChoola, to the effect that "Douglas
Nims was ineligible to piny "football
on Font Mill high school team
f because he has 4 regularly received
j- 1 JMtuiey for playing on Fort Mill base!
ball team through at least two seasons."
N \
Prof. M. E. Brockman, superintendent
of the CheBter schools, on last
Thursday afternoon, the day before
| the annual football game between
| the Rock Hill and Chester schools,
protested to Prof. ft. C. Hurts,
; superintendent of the -Rock Hill
schools, against Douglas Nlpas playing
in the game Friday afternoon between
the two schools, The Times is
informed. Mr. Brockman, according
to the story reaohing Fort Mill, was
tutu oy nr. nuns tnaj, Douglas Nims
would appear in the Rock H1U lineup,
otherwise there would be no game.
Douglas Nims did play in the game
and he seems to hare beon more
largely responsible ror the defeat of
Chester, IS to 6, than any other Rock
Hill player.. , '
tif the Chester school
Py " aSRnortties came too late, It is held
ind.bck Hill, to keep Douglas Nipi"
out of the game. In section 12 of (he
constitution of the 8outh Carolina
High School league it. is provided:
"Charges of ineligibility must be filed
In writing with the department committee
not later than one week preceding
such contest." In the same
section, however, it is further pros'
?' vided that "no contest won with ineligible
competitors shall count." .The
asaumption is," therefore, that being
familiar with tbla section of the constitution
of the league, the Chester authorities
do not expect to have Douglas
Nims declared ineligible so far
an the game with Ro.'k Hill is concerned,
because any complaint lodged
with Major Fulp as to his eligibility
one day prior to the Rock Hlll-Chest*r
game is not a "charge" under the
constitution of the league and cannot
considers red as such by the football
committee. And this being true.
It is argued, any effort to have the
? -A'-./ game thrown put on the allegation
that Douglas Nims was an "Ineligible
competitor" will also fall.

FINDS WEEVIL'S WEAK POINTI,
A Gainesville, Fla., press dispatch
of last Saturday^says that development
of a satisfactory method of controlling
the boll weevil on short staple,
or upland, cotton has Just been
announced there by Dr. Wilson Newell,
commissioner for the Florida
plant board and director of the University
of Florida experiment station.
The announcement was made as
the result of the successful culmination
of research work under the auspices
of the plant board- The method
invoves a principle in boll weevil
control heretofore not recognized by
otfier investigators, Dr. Newell stated,
and he added that the total cost
of treatment, labor included, does noi
exceed $1.50 to $2 per acre. In the
fields treated the cotton crop in
. nearly every instance has been as
large as that obtained prior to the
advent of the weevil.
While some poison is used the
amount is comparatively small, Dr.
Newell said- By means of the improved
method a cotton field is cleared
of practically all boll weevils
early in June and remains in that
condition for several weeks. Daring
this period.a good crop of bolls is secuied
without weevil interference.
Both the Florida plant board and
experiment station of that State will
issue immediately bulletins on the
Improved method of control.
"The boll weevil's weak nnlnt has
now been found," declared Dr. Newell,
"and by this method of control
the farmer will be able to hand him
a solar plexus blow. The treated
fields have produced Just about as
much cotton as if there had been no
boll weevil. The return of profitable
short staple cotton culture in Florida
is now assuerd."
Rev. R. L. Kenton Unities to St. John's.
The congregation of St. John's
Methodist church was highly pleased
with the announcement, made by
Bishop Denny, in reading at the
Upper Methodist conference in GafP
ney Sunday night the pastoral appointments
for the next year, that
the Rev. R. L. Kenton, who for the
last two years has been pastor of
Green Street Methodist church in
t'oluuibia, -had been assigned to HtJohn's
church.
Mr. Keaton and his family, consisting
of Mrs. Keaton and their two
children, are expected to reach Fort
Mill next Tuesday and he will at
once be^in the work as pastor of the
Fort Mill- charge. Mr. Keaton succeeds
the Rev. W. R. Bouknlght as
pastor of St. John's, Pleasant Valley
and Philadelphia churches. Ey a coincidence,
he and Mr. Bouknlght
exchange churchea, Mr. Bouknlght
having beep assigned to Green Street
church.
Mr. Keaton is 37 years old and has
been a member of the Methodist conference
since 1914. His first church
was at Gaffaey, where he was stationed
for four years, from 1914 to
1918. He was pastor of the church
st Pacolet during 1918 and 1920. He
was then sent to Qreen Street ohurch
lu Columbia for the church years of
1921-22. . He is a graduate of Wofford
college and comes to Fort Mill
with tho reputation of being a forceful
preacher and a tireless worker.
Mr. Keaton was chaplain of the house
of representatives in Columbia during
the 1921 and 1922 sessions of the
General Assembly. The members of
St. John's congregation art planning
a reception in honor of Mr. Keaton
and family to be held a few days aftet
they reach Fort Mill.
Dr. Arthur V. Buchanan Dead.
Newg dispatches published in the

the commissioners many inquiries
relative to the sale of the bonds have
been received already and confidence
is felt that they will bring considerably
more than par.
Ninety-four ex-soldiers of this vicinity
were guests of the ladies of
Yorkville at a dinner held for the ex.ioldlers
in commemoration of the
.tourth anniversary of the signing of
the armistice, in American l^egion
.tall here last Saturday. The dinner

Miss Rita Wltherspoon, Mrs- - C. H.
Hart and Mrs. J. M." Ramsey and the
delicious viands which were served

having invited all those who would
to contribute to the occasion. Messrs.
J. 8. Brice. H. E. Neil and Dr. R. A.
Bratton were special honor guests.
"I understand that dbwn In Charleston
county and city taxpayers'are allowed
to pay their taxes on the installment
plan," said Tuesday morn- i
, itig a York county man who works on
a salary. "While 1 have no objection
co high taxes so long as we get value
- received for the money, at the same,
time there is no getting around the
fact that taxes are pretty hard to pay
jometimes, especially if a feiiow has
u iui 01 tuner expenses 10 come an in "
a lump, and it strikes me it would be
a help to many people It provision i
was made in York county for the payment
of taxes on the installment plan.
I'd likes to know the views of some
of the other citixens of the county
about it."
The big Hampshire mill biulding
when completed at Clover will be one
of the most substantial examples of
ootton mill construction in the South
and probably equal to any tiling of the
kind in the entire country. This
building is being constructed entirely
of concrete and there is to be practically
no wood in it except the floors,
which are to be laid in pine with a
toj. sheathing of maple. The floors
are to be laid <m concrete that win be
strongly reinforced with steel and
which will be from 8 to 12 Inches
thick. When completed the immense
building will be as though hewn out
of solid Btor.e, though, because of the
steel reinforcement, much stonger
than ,it could have been made by that
method. Still another substantial gd- ,
vantage of the concrete construction
| over brick is that the concrete gives
about 80 per cent more window space,
this because of the greater etrength
of the concrete as compared with
? brick. As compared with brick, the
cost of concifete construction, such as
is being used in Clover, is something
over 50 per cent greater.

UNHOOKING THE HOOKWORM.
Siemihl Effort Being Made to
Overcoiie Contagion.
"H persistent echoes of wars (lis- i
turb one's peace of mind it is a !
wholesome antidote to turn attention
occasionally to another sort of
world struggle, a beneficent war?
the war against disease." says a bulletin
from the National Geographic
society, based on a communication it
has received from William J. Showalter.
"In all the stirring history of mau s
effort to make himself the muster oi
his env-ironmeht there is no more
thrilling chapter than that which
tells of the bitter battles he has
waged for the conquest of contagion
and of the ground he has won in his
struggle with his relentless and innumerable.
though invisible, foes."
says the bulletin.
"Three announcements of almost
unprecendented import of mankind
arc expected to be made at no distant
date.
"The first of these will be that yellow
fever has at last been banished
from the face of the earth and tjiut
the ghrm which carries it has become
oxtinct. The next in order probably
will be that hookworm disease, which
has been called 'u handmaiden of
poverty, an associate of crime and
degeneracy, a destroyer of energy
and vitality, a menace and an obstacle
to all that makes for civilisation,'
and which is endemic in a sone that
embraces half of the earth's population,
can be driven front any coniinu
nity which his the win to get rid of
it. Last will come Jhe statement that
demonstrations have proved thut malaria
can be eradicated front almost
un community that has enough vitul
force left to push a thorough, though
inexpensive, campaign for its extirpation.
"Richmond county, Virginia, where
the war on the hookworm as a
worldwide fight had its inception,
stands out as an example of what
may be accotnpllshed and as an evidence
that it can be accomplished
with much less difficulty than w^s
formerly supposed.
"Whan the work began there about
12 .years age, 82 jper cent of the people
had the disease. A few years later
a resurvey showed that this hud
been reduced to 35 per cent. A more
recent resurvey reduced It to 2 per
cent and in 1922 It can be announced
that there is not a single person In
the entire county in whose body the
woms are numerous enough to produce
any of the symptoms, of the
malady.
"There are two kinds of hookworm
that invade the human body,
aa Old World species and a New
World species.
"The New World species .of hookworm
Is a small parasitic creature
about as thick as an ordinary pin
and half as long. The adult female
worm, inhabiting the small intestine,
lays thousands of eggs daily. After
these pass oat of ttife body they hatch
within one or two days. They are
microscopic in size when hatched and
never grow, larger hs long as they
remain on the *ground.
"Then comes along a pair of bare
feet or hands, or some other part of
i be body touches th6~lnfected ground,
and the little vlljains make the most
of their opportunity. They promptly
begin to bore their way through the
skin, causing a severe irritation
known as ground Itch. Once under
ihe skin, they travel through the tissues
until they come to the lymphatic
system, and thence into the blood.
"Finally, after passing through the
heart and lungs, they reach the throat
and pass thnce through the . stomach,
ultimately landing In the small intefc-.
Sine, to whose wall they fasten themselves,
and for as much as seven
rears, if hot-disturbed by treatment.
Lake their (ill of the victim's- blood
ind intestinal tissue.
"They develop in their salivary
glands a substance that has a markMi
power of inhibiting coagulation of the
blood. Attaching themselves to
the surface of the intestinal wall,
rasping and socking away the deliaie
inner cells on which they teed,
they lay bare the deeper tissues and
the wound continues to bleed tor a
long time, even after the worm has
leserted the spot to which It was
ittached.
"Bnt they eveii go further than that.
By some method not well understood, I
they cause the blood to undergo a I
change, reducing the element that 1
makes ns rod-blooded, and which !

TRYING DAYS FOR ENGLAND.
Sorrow Over Land Following Losses

There Is no lightness of heart in

Christian Observer. Depression has
aken the place of good cheer. Thoy
uajestic Parliament buildings beside
he Thames seem stern, and of course
he Tower of l^ondon is us grim as

Britain has a great sorrow in her
leart and perplexing problems in her
ife that America knows only In partladdered
and burdened by the losses
>f the great war, she fuces serious tutor
problems at home and critical poitical
issues overseas. India.* Egypt
utd Ireland are either simmering or
;Ise seething in revolt. In uddition
o all this she bears heavy responsibility
touching the reestabllshment
tf right relations between the contilental
nations," whose differences
letm utterly irreconcilable.
Germany has been floating on pa>er
currency, but now is floundering,
^""runce is intoxicated by her visions
ind her dreams, but soon will tu.
y sobered. England, with her cusomury
common sense and with her
ippreciatlou of the value or sound
redit, is "ensiling in" the costs of
.he war. She is bearing today an
ilmost overwhelming financial burlen,
because she is dealing honestly
vith herself and with her neighbors,
ier taxes are higher than in any

are for sale. The people looked
