-i •v r •' J/ M: WOUNHEIS HD SPLENDID IKK South Carolina football followers were tiiaatml^a aama misUt>i. tfl«vw ing the past week, as all of the teams did well. Probably the biggest sur prises were the defeat of the Citadel at the hands of Wofford and the close score to which the Carolina machine held the fast Davidson squad, being nosed out in the final minute of play. Wofford, held to a tie by Guilford , College, and nosed out by a goal from touchdown by Furman, came back strong on a muddy field and shoved access two touchdowns against the military lads. The Citadel was crippled by the absence of.Captain Crouch, Ende and one or two other regulars, and according to the reports put up a game struggle. Carolina was an unknown quantity in a way, but the Game Cocks continued their improvement, and it was only at the last minute that Davidson managed to score. It will be remembered that Davidson was defeated by Clemson and Washington and Lee by but one touch down, losing l>oth contests 7 to 0.

As a. result they are being recognized as one of the strongest ag gregations in the South. Furman managed to get away with the Presbyterians, but it was only the speed of Speers that kept the Pres byterians from winning in the last few minutes of play. Woodson recovered a blocked kick and with a clear field in front of him was overtaken by Speer, the final whistle sounding a few min utes later. Newberry and Erskine had a battle royal at Newberry Friday, and the Due West t£nm emerged victorious by a touchdown. The Lutherans were un able to stop the powerful rushes of Phillips.

Australia Cry ^Taxation Without Representation.’’ Melbourne, Australia, Oct. 18»— Citizens of the northern territory of Australia, copmlgining as did the Ameniaan colonists at “tarattoa with- out representation,” have determined to eject the territorial government es tablished in that part of the common wealth. They demand the institution of a representative government and the right to vote. These decisions were taken at a citizens’ meeting held at Port Darwin, the principal harbor of the territory, at which a resolution was adopted, de claring that the system of administra tion of the territory by an advisory council had proved valueless. The citizens demanded the resignation of Judge Sevan and of the secretary di rector of the territory, R. J. Evans. A second resolution requested those officials to leave the territory by the first steamer in order ‘‘to avoid a revolution.” Xhe-~cittiena nL Xke. JlQlUl£rn. Jejrl; The present organization has a mem- membership of over a million, which includes men who are backing the program of the league and are in in dustries where women are employed. It is affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor. The National Women’s Trade Union league tries, through its organization, to teach women to help themselves to get better working conditions. Its purpose is “to protect the women work ers of America from inadequate wags and extreme working hours through the organization of the workers, and through such legislation as the mini mum wage and the eight-hour day; to increase co-operative action among them; to ersate a public opinion that really understands the labor mov^ moot; to secure definite and accurate information concerning conditions smong women and child wage earners leading to legislative action; to supply at all times to sll wsge earners as sistance la working oat their lndu» trial difficulties." Mrs. Raymond Robins is president Of The league and chairman of its com mittee on International relationships, which Is in charge of arrangements for the International Congress of Work- log Women. Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the women’s bureau of the United States department of labor, la secretary to this committee. The congress is being called at the official request of the standing com mittee on Women’s Industrial Organi zations of Great Britain and at the Informal request of women’s labor oi^ ganlzations in France and Tfaly.

The northern territory, a sparsely settled region in northern Australia with an area of 523,620 square miles, and a population excluding aboriginal tribes or less than 5,000, iwas formerly a corporate part of the state of South Australia, but was surrendered by the SWTftn turn 'HUiiil TTWTt-Tff giiVPHK 1 commonwealth January 1, 1911, and has since been giverned under an appointive territorial administration. The coastal regions of the territory have a tropical climate, but in the in terior is a table land, rising gradual ly from the coast to a height of about 1,700 feet. Parts pf this table land are excellently adaptable to grazing and the white inhabitants and about one-half of the 5,000 non-aboriginal population are principally engaged in cattle raising. CCfarON VARIETIES FOR BOLL WEEVIL CONDITIONS Clemson College Extension Depart ment Gives Advice on Seed Selection in Fighting Boll Weevil. -CjeD^pO Col lege^pct 16.—To help lory complain that,^although pgyjng lesseiy .tfre r damaeg f ro^The boll wq&y jested, and "can be .rcbomniejided for vil, now advancing so rapidly in South f Carolina, the Extension Service of Clemson College has tested during the last three years about twenty of the best varieties of cotton with reference to early fruiting and early maturing. The experiments were conducted in Edgefield, Aiken, Barnwell, Hampton, Beaufort, and Charleston counties to drtcrTTrlnc-thc -vaTietfes best oatted-te beat the boll weevil. From the results so far obtained and from observations as to fruiting and growth, says E. E. Hall, ekpert In cot ton breeding, the short staple varieties to be recommended for South Carolina conditions are Cleveland, Cook, Dixie Triumph, and Dixie. On land free from wilt Cleveland Big Boll has given the best average results, and this is considered one of the best varieties for South Carolina, if land is entirely free of wilt. Cook ranks among the highest yield ing varieties in the state, but is not as generally grown, because anthacnose or boll rot is worse in this variety than in any other. /Dixie Triumph is the earliest and highest yielding wilt-resistant variety made good yields on wilt-infested land, but It Is not as early as Dixie Triumph Among long staple varieties Web ber 49 and Webber 82 ave the earliest tested. Webber 49 fruits and matures a little earlier than Webber 82. Both are well adapted to the state iwhere wilt does not occur, as they fruit prac- i.hi> ahnrt atnnlp and frequently yield as much seed cot ton per acre. Seed of any of the above varieties can be obtained from breeders in the state, who, for several years, have been selecting and breeding for earli ness. The Extension Service of Clem son College.will furnish farmers with a list of the best sources of seed in (Re state upon application. CHICHI PILLS L*te. I 5n bkand pills, for m ■tM Bo*. S*«Kt.

New Orleans to be Principal Port for Line to be Established Next Moath. Philadelphia, Oct. 17.—New Orleans is to have a new steamship line which will begin operations early next month and handle shipments from and for the entire south, .according to a published announcement here today. The vessels of the new line will op erate from Philadelphia and New Or leans through the Panama canal tp Los Angeles, San Francisco and Hon olulu. The new line is reported to have the financial backing of the steel interests of Phikfdelhphia and Is made possible by the present rail rate on steel products from the Atlantic''to the Pacific coast, which is $1.371-2 per* hundred pounds. The water route, it is declared, will cut this rate almost in half. The names of the steamships which will be placed on the route will be announced soon. On the eastward run from the Pa cific coast the ships will bring sugar from Honolulu and canned goods, dried fruits and other products of the western coast. The ships will stop at New Orleans and discharge part of their cargoes of merchandise destined for places in the south, then take on rice, cotton and other products of the south for Philadelphia. On the west ward run the steamships will take out cargo for (New Orleans and other southern points, and iron, steel and manufactured goods for the Pacific coast. Capt. George L. Craig, of the Ship building company, Lorain, Ohio, and who also conducts a shipbuilding plant at Los Angeles, is the senior member of the firm establishing the new line. WOMEN M0LPII0U.EMS Meet for First International In dustrial Congress in History. Chief of Women's Bureau, United States Department of Labor, Says Women Must Consider Own Problem*. A " ' Washington, Oct. —.—“The Interna tional. Cengress of Working Women, to be held in Washington on October 23d at the call of the National Wom en’s Trade Union" League of America, affords the first opportunity in the his tory of the world for working women to get together to discuss their com mon problems and different phases of employment to the end that they may inaugurate higher industrial standards the world over” says Mary Anderson, chief of the Women’s Bu- reafi of the United States Department of Labor. Miss Anderson Is secretary to the committee on International Relation ships of the Trade Union League and in chsrge of arrangements for the con ference. Miss Anderson continued to say: “The United States can no longer be Isolated as a nation. We have taken our place In the family of nations and stand In danger of either going up or down with the rest of the world in re gard to Industrial standards. T> this end we must never forget that by raid ing standards of employment for the 12,000,000 women In gainful occupa tions In the United States, by guard ing against child labor and giving proper protection and care to women and babies, we are helping to raise the standards, and that Just aa «oon as we fail to make our standards as high as they should be we will cause suffering and hardship among women and children either In our own coun try or in some distant unthought at part of the world. “The Trade Union principle recog* nizes the fact that working women shall participate In the conditions gov erning their employment, that they shall use their own initiative to the end that they may have control over conditions under which they work. They all agree that because of this women must have their own part in the organizations that" consider the cnnditloQs of women’* work, whether these be local, national or Intern* tional.” Thirty-four countries have been asked to send women delegates from i’.ccredited labor organizations to at tend the Congress.
