day afternoon printed the following account
of the footbaHggamet,on|Wofford *
? field between the Fort Mill and Gafiney
high school teams Friday:
"Uaffney high school went into the i
ujv-htate ftials Friday afternoon at ,1
Wofiord park when the scrappy little
fort Mill aggregation, some 13 ,
pounds lighter, were defeated in a .
v hard-fought game by the score of 6 1
to 0. A break in the second quartet
was converted into the only touchdown
of the afternoon, Gaffney recovering
av fumbled punt on Fort
Mill's six-yard line and Capt. Clary
carrying *ue ball over. Gafiney had
many chances to score, but Fort
Mill's brilliant *and sturdy defense,
coupled. (with costly fumbling ou i
Gaffney's part, denied the Cherokee
team the scores they might* have
made.
?Four times inside Fort Mill's 10yard
line, the York county lads held
so that the Gaffney team was unable
to go the remainder of the distance.
two gairnyy passes over the goal
line grounded, once the ball went <
over on downs and once a fumble
was recovered on her own threeyard
line by Port Mill, Gaffney"U 1
weight counted principally in the
power of Clary and Butler. Fort
Mill's line fought the Gaffeny wall
to a standstill.
"Clary and Butler were the ground
gaining stars for Gaffney, Clary es-.
pecialty. These hefty backs were
seldom stopped without some gains,
though the Fort Mill line held them
well when the ball was deep in their '
territory. Gatfney's line was a stone (
i wall aud Fort (Mill was never able to
gain consistently, though Moser at
T full made several good runs. In the
llrst quarter he gained 3G yards on
an end sweep. Ho hit the line hard.
Uoth teams tried the forward pass
with varied success, a few forward
flips being completed on both sides.
"As the game was about to end,
Fort Mill scored a 20-yard gain on a
long heave. Cooke and Clary were
Gaffney's aerial treat, completing
two long passes. Gaffney intercepted
" JWl MIITb passes tour times during
'the game. Throughout the game Gaffney
was In possession of the pigBkin
much more of the time than was Port
) (Mill, which was usually forced to
i yield it.
- . "The clouds and threatening appearance
of the day kept the crowd
down, though both the contesting
schools were well represented. The
studeuts of Spartanburg hlgtf and
Hastoc supported Fort Mill.
"The game performance of the Fort
; - Mill team, foatured by tenacious fighting
and vicious tackling, was a
splendid exhibition of what a light
team pan do against a heavier aggregation.
Though beaten, Fort Mill
wa* not outplayed and to the vanquished
little eleven there is the satisfaction
of knowing that they made
a gallant stand, worthy in every re?
spect. Fort Mill was well coached
fn the fundamentals of the game Knd
fought like demons from first to last.
"Galfney scored 13 first downs to
Fcrt Mill's six and gained three times
as much ground as Fort Mill.
"Friday's victory by Gaffney throws
that team into the final contest tor
the up-State football title with
* Thornwell orphanage of Clinton. This
game will be played)next (this) week
and the winner will meet the Char
\ leston Bantams, the down-State representatives,
for - the high school
| championship of the Stae."

Demonstration Work Considered.
Arguments for-a continuance of tho

onstration work and (arm demonstration
work in York county next year
were made before the legislative
delegation in York Monday. Speaking
in behalf of homo demonstration
work were half a score of wornei), the
majority from the town c( York and
vicinity. A. A. McKe^wn, district
farm demonstration agenf|""Who lives
in Rock Hill, presented the cause of
he faTm demonstration work.
The delegation was asked to appropriate
$1,260 for home demonstration
work and $500 for farm demonstration
work, the remainder of the expense
to be paid by the federal government
The delegation took the
matter under advisement and it was
stated that no decision-will be reached
nntll after the-annual meeting of
tljo delegation at the court house in
York early in the new year. There is
said to be considerable sentiment in
the connty both for and against the
work and the opponents will have an
opportunity to be heard at the court
house meeting 'of the delegation.

Items of. General Interest Found In
the Yorkiille Enquirer.
Most of-the rural pchools of the
county will continue their work right
up until Friday afternoon before
Christmas, which comes on the following
Monday, it was stated at the
office of the supreintendent of education.
Most of the rural schools will
suspend ten days for the Christmas
holidays.
'Judge Peurifoy has been receiving
a stream of letters from all over the
State since the recent announcement
of his proposed retirement from -the
office of the superintendent of educacolleagues
on the bench, from prominent
lawyers in every section and
frpm laymen?all'. expressing deep
and sincerb regret at his determinatiqp
in the matter. Some even*go so
far as to beg bim to reconsider, If
possible,* notwithstanding the reason
ho' has assigned for the step he has
taken.
- "Thi^ has been the quietest meeting
of the county commissioners we
have had since VI have been supervisor,"
was the reply of Supervisor
Hugh Brown when asked Wednesday
afternoon about the "proceedings of
the county commissioners who held
their regular monthly meet'Ug that
day. "We have had many claims
presented ua today as usual, but we
have paid none of them for the reason
we have had no money with
which to pay. The truth is, the
county is out of money. The tax
hooks, you know, usually open on
October'lb, but this year they have
opened December 1. Last year's
tuuds are exhausted and this year's
revenue has so far been coming in
ratner siowiy. we have no authority
now to borrow any money aiuT
there is nothing for those who have
claims against the county but to wait
until v.e get he money."
"York county will losp hundreds
and probably thousands of dollars
uncollected taxes this year by reason
of the fact that the tax books were
aot open until December 1, whereas
.hey are ordinarily opened on October
15." commented a county official yesterday.
"For instance, there are
many* negroes who would have paid
what taxes they owed by this time.
Now they are broke and furthermore
icores and scores of them are leaving
ihe county and going elsewhere* in
search of work. The same applied
to white people who would have paid;
but who between now. and January l,'
will pull up stakes upd leave. Their
taxes will go unpaid because they
have left nothing to levy on. I know
of many negroes, particularly, who
inquired at the bunko over the county
before November 1", about paying their
taxes. When they were told the bpoku
would not open until December 1,
they worried no longer.' And now
they are gone."
I. P. Boyd, superintendent of the
York county almshouse, when abked a'
few day ago about conditions out his
way, said "We are getting along
quite nicely at the home. The county
home has recently been plastered and
otherwise improved inside and is
now in the best condition it has ever
been in. You remember that since
the county home was built several
years ago we have been having much
trouble because of faulty plastering,
but Supervisor Brown recently
had it done over and it is now all
right. We have 20 iiftnatcs in the
home at present. There are 9 whites \
and 14 negroes. We made three bales 1
of cotton on about three and one-hair
acres this fall. I haien't measured
the corn yield, but wo made enough
to do and some over. We have about
Pft bushels of sweet potatoes, a pretty
>'good turnip pgtch, $ number of hogs
and other produce. Folks were good
to the inmates of the county home at
Thanksgiving and. 1 have no doubt
that they will be remembered at
Christmas as they generally are."

iDAY, DECEMBER 14. 1922.'
ODD RIYER* ACCIDENT.
One of the older citisens of Fort Mill
a day or two ago was telling a nurabei
of hit friends of an odd accident
that occurred man years ago at the
old Nation ford on the Catawba river
between Fort Mill* and Keck Hill.
'A North Carolina mountaineer," said
he, ^'traveling with his wife and baby, 1
in a two-horse wagon, was on the
way to some point in this State. The .
party reached Nation ford early one
night and notwithstanding the fact
tnat the man was unfamiHar with the
lord and the river was considerably 1
swollen he decided lb try to cross. '
He drove in and was getting along
all right it seemed until the wagon
had passed midstream. Then the
hordes became frightened at a train
passing over the railroad bridge a
short distance below the ferry. In
spite of all he could do it looked
as if the wagon would be upset in
the river, so the man jumped from his
seat to go to the horses' heads to try
to quiet them. About that time the
horses gave a lunge and tilted the
front end of the wagon upward in
such a way that the body slid off into
the stream, * with the woman and
child still in it. The man heard his
wife scream, but before he could go
to her assistance the body of the
wagon had floated off downstream,
carrying in it the woman and child.
Tht inari*made every effort to reach
his wife and child, but the water was
too deep below the railroad bridge
I for him to follow them. The only
thing he could do was to lisetn to his
wife's cries for help.
"Finally he decided to go back up
stream to see what had become of
his team and then he discovered the
horses standing about where he had
left them. <Coming back to the Fort
.Mill side of the river he gave \he
alarm ut the nearest house he could
find, but the night was well spent botore
a party could be organized to go
ill search of the woman and child.
The next morning they were ^discovered
several miles below the ford,
whore the wagon body had lodged on
a rock in the river. Except for the
nervous state in which the harrowing
experience through which she had
jiist gone had left her, the woman
wan uninjured as was the baby, which
was too young to know what it was
all about. The wagon body in which
the woman and child had taken the
ride down the river had been otft in
the samp rains Which caused the rise
in the river and had become practically
water-tight, so there was no
danger of it sinking."
Wants All Vehicles to Carry Lights,
"One of the things it is hard" for t
me .to understand is why the South
Carolina Legislature does not pass a
law requiring every vehicle using the
public roads at night to display a
light large enough to bO seen for several
hundred yards," a day or two
ago said to The Times a physician
who frequently has to an?w?r calls
at night that sometimes carry him
considerable distances from the t9wn
.in which he lives. "Only one night
last week," he added,"*"1 barely missed
running into a wagon between the
county river bridge and Rock Hill,
and if there had been an accident it
would not have been due to carelessness
on my part. The glare from the
lights on my car made it impossible
for me to see the wagon until I was
within a few feet of it. It would seem
that the drivers of all vehicles on
tho public roads at night would carry
a light as a matter of self-protection
and not wait to be forced to do so
by law, but it looks as if a law on the
subject is necessary. And then I do
not know who trould enforce the
law." , \

York icfUtatlTe Delegation to Meet 1
in Rock Hill Next ''Thursday.
Senator John R. Hart has called a
meeting of the York county legisla- 1
tive delegation to be held* In Rock 1
Hill Thursday morning, December 21. ]
The Rock Hill meeting is one of two 1
annual meetings held by the delega- f
tion, the other being at York, to !
give the citixens of the county an
opportunity to express their views |
01 mutters affecting the welfare of ]
the county which are expected to {
come up for consideration at the (
meeting of the General Assembly a
few weeks later. f
The ir.eeting of the delgation In
York probably will be held during
the first week in January.
Among-other matters which likely
will be brought before the delegation
at both the Rock Hill and York (
meetings is the county road laws, ineluding
the law under which the
townshps' roads are worked. During
the campaign last August it was sug: s
gested that the township law was not
proving as satisfactory as had been
hoped for when it was enacted and
that it 'might be the part of wisdom
to make some changes in it. F*>r
se\eral years prior to 1921 each
township in the county selected a
road supervisor by popular vote.
This supervisor had control of the
township's road funds and was authorized
to employ an overseer who
had immediate charge of the road
work. The plan did not appear entirely
satisfactory to all sections of
the county, however, and at the 192?
session of the General Assembly the
supervisor plan was set aside and
instead three commissioners were
created for each township, these
commissioners to be appointed by the
governor on recommendation of the
legislative delegation. Now there is
complaint that the new law is work
ing even less satisfactory in Bome 1
sections of the county than the old 1
law. It remains to be seen whether x
there will be sufficient demand for a 1
change in the law Iff warrant the delegation
in taking steps to that end. *
Another matter which is expected <
to be called to the attention of the delegation
at the Rock Hill and York 1
meetings la the employment for an- '
other year of the county demonstra- 1
tion agent and the woman's home '
demonstration agent. York county '
pays $1,500 for the salaries of the two '
agents, $500 for the former nnd !
$1,200 for the latter. Opposition is
said to have been expressed by tax- i
payers to the employment of either i
during 1923. ' 1
Invites World to Ipaugural Party. ,
* J. C. Walton, Demoorat, governor- ,
.elect of Oklahoma, has invited the <
world at large to his inaugural party <
to be held at the Slate fair grounds j
in Oklahoma City on January 10 and j
11 He expects his guests to come j
by ox train, airplane, motor car, spe- ]
clal railroad trains, riding the rods ]
and the cushions, afoot, horseback,
and by all available other methods oi ,
travel.
He will serve a barbecue and give '
a square dance on a completely floor- ,
ed-in circle of a half mile race track, j
A committee of 3,000 members is ar- (
ranging for the festivities. A tenta- ]
live list of the supplies for the bar- ]
beuue follows: x j
Five hundred beef cattle, 200 hogs, ^
200 sheep, 5,000 chickens, 1,000 tur- .
keys, 3,000 rabbits, 1,000 squirrels, 1
200 opossums, 500 ducks and geese,
10 buffaloes, 10 bear, 10 deer, 10 anteloupe,
5 tons of coffee,' 5 tons of 1
st- It, balf ton of pepper, 250 bushels 1
of onions, 100,000 loaves of bread, '
100,000 buns, 16 carloads of firewood
and 3 carloads of pine knots for
kindling. / 1
Three thousand persons will be 1
employed to serve the multitude and 1
500 expert butchers, slicers and barbecuists.
The new governor will tako
the oath of office on a stand erected
in the race track paddock. The two ;
houses of the State Legislature will J
convene in joint session on the the ,
stand and swear into office the chief ;
justice of the supreme court who will
then administer the oath to the chief
oxecutive. This is to take' place on
January 9 and the two day celebration
will follow.No
More Whiskey Permits.
Further indorsement of requests !
for whiskey to be used for medicinal
purposes will not be made by Dr.
Jar. A. Hayne, State health officer,
who has decided to discontinue the '
practice until he receives an opinion t;
regarding the legality of the proced- ,
uro from the United 8tates attorney |
general. Tne state laws and the federal
laws' on the subject of whiskey !
for medicinal purposes conflict in
many respects and until there Is a
ruling hy the Washington authorities '
the South Carolina laws will he fal- J

SULTAN'S. POWER LIMITED. Ruler
of Turkey Not Splrltuul Hewl
of Mohammedan World. ''
Near Bust politics is inextricably
>ound up with religion in ways it is
?ard for us to conceive. And soihe
prevalent misconceptions about the
dghammedan faith seem to add conueion
to many discussions about
dosiem problems.
"A caliph without temporal power
3 a more radical departure in the
[slam world than the Western mind
it first can grasp/' says a bulletin
>f the National Geographic society.
"The easiest way to dispel some of
hese illusions Is by pointing to several
striking likenesses between the
vorld's two newest among the major
-elisions. The term NMohammedan.'
ike the term 'Christian.' is a nick
uuiv. duiu names were given, wun
contemptuous intent, by enemies of
ke religions. . , ,
"The term 'Christian' was quickly
idopted by the followers of the Naza ene.
The term Mohammedan never
las been adopted by the followers of
he prophet. He sought to avoid the ,
employment of hia own name by supplying
one?the name of Islam?by
vhlch he hoped Mohammedanism
vould be known. He further sought
o make this word, meaning resignaion,
imply the five cardinal points
>f the new faith. The first of these *
loins was the brief creed, - 'There i9
to Qod but Allah, and Mohammed is
As propehet.' The other four enoined
jrayer, giving of alms, the
est of Ramodan and pilgrimages to
Mecca.
"Another significant parallel beween
Christianity and Mohamnedanlsm
is that both are the ,
'eligions of millions of people of races
alien to that of their founders,
jl.rist was a Jew; Mohammed was an .
Vrab. It is the Mohammedanism
nodlfied by the Turkb.h tempera.
ont and nationality that has clashed
with the Western civilization in reel
nt centuries.
"Most misleading 'of all the illu- .
sions about Mohummedanism, how5vtr,
is the tacit assumption that the
Mohammedan world is a religious
init. Seen a long way off the sects
*rd groups fade away. In reality
Lhere are two great branches of Mo*
ttemmedanism, the Sunnltes and the
Shiites. Among both these branches,'
ind also outside them, there are
sharply drawn cleavages.
"'Recent caliphs, who have been the
sultans of Turkey, have claimed .
spritltual supremacy over the M<olammedan
world of some 800.000.000
sculs. But In actual (oct the sultan
jf Turkey has had little more spiritual
ascendancy over the Mohamme-t
lens outside Turkey than the king
if England has had over the Episcopalians
in the United States. In fact,
there would be no urgent Near East
problem at this moment had his
leadership been recognized in Asia
Minor. .
"A very important difference beta
een the Western mind and the
Mohammedan viewpoint has, hitherto,
precludcftr a spiritual ascendancy of
the latter which would cut across all
lines of temporal power and include
even warring nations. The Mohammedan
has no priests. A spiritual
ruler up to now has been, incomprehensible
to the Moslem mind. Naturally,
then, caliphs have sought to
rule by the sword. .
"The very word caliph has an allurement
that dates back to childhood
days when you lived among
the fantastic Arabian nights at the
corrt of the Caliph Harun al Rashid.
Lashld was a' bona fide caliph, and
In you later years a reading. of tho
historical facts about the caliphlte
furnish no fewer thrills than the immortal
tales."
Knocks Lady Nancy Astor.
"I was nl?ased to read in the news
papers a few days ago that Lady
Nancy Astor had been reelected to
the British Parliament," said Capt.
Richard Fulp of Fort Mill, discussing
recently with a friend his experiences
as a patient at hospitals in England
during the World war. "It is
my good fortune to know personally
Lady Nancy," he continued, "with
whom I got acquainted at her home,
some 50 miles from London, during
tho time it was used as a hospital for
World war officers. Going over seas
with the 30th division I contracted
pneuinonia and when our transport
touched at Dover, England, I was removed
to a hospital in that city,
where I remained for several weeks.
Then I waa t,aken to the Astor home
