>;v& EIGHT THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CUNTON. S. C. THURSDAY. MAY 9, 1929 1 =*CT CLEMSON AGAIN TAKES FIRST PUCE IN STATE TRACK MEET Timers Claw Their Way To Victory With Presbyterian a Close Second. Four Records Smashed During Afternoon’s Festivities. Clemson’s Tigers flashed to victory in the fifth annual state champion ship meet on the Presbyterian college track here last Saturday afternoon by piling up a total of 61 points while Presbyterian was a close sfecond with 49 1-2 points. Carolina was third, mak ing 39 1-2, and Furman fourth with 24. Clemson was the winner of the meet here last year also. Four records were smashed during the afternoon’s festivities. Lineberger of Clemson, broke the mile record of 4 minutes 39.4 sefbnds held by Boyce of Carolina in 1928, when he covered the distance in 4 minutes 38 seconds. Smith of Furman, pulled one of the most spectacular tricks of the day when Kennedy of Carolina had broken the javelin throw by a toss of 175 feet 4 inches by pitchnig it 177 feet 9 3-4 inches. The previous record was held by Smith with his last year’s throw of 174 feet 7 inches. One of the prettiest races ever wit nessed in the meet held here was the race of four Presbyterian horsemen relay when they ran the relay in 3 minutes 27.9 seconds, * bettering the old record by five and a fraction sec onds. The old record was by Furman and stood at 3 minutes 33 seconds^ Jimmie Green started off the race and made a beautiful run for the last half of the 440 to put him about five yards in the lead of his nearest op ponent. Wyatt ran the second lap, gaining still more ground, giving the stick to Hogrefe, who, true to his old custom of always running a beauti ful race, put Ritchie, the last man, in! a still better lead, while Ritchie, run ning his last lap like a speed demon, put the team in a good margin of vic tory. Clemson finished second in this event. Andrews of,, Clemson, a wonderful two-miler, broke the state record in the event by a run of 10 minutes 13 seconds, the record being held by Ma nor (Clemson, 1928), time, 10 minutes 17.6 seconds. Clemson took an early lead and was able to hold it throughout the meet, being somewhat pushed at the last by Presbyterian. It was a great meet. The track, one of the best in the South, was wonder fully fixed up by Manager Fraser, Assistant Varsity Manager J. B. Ken nedy and Freshman Manager Jack- son. These boys certainly worked hard and deserve untold credit, and should an all-state set of managers be pick- j ed those present Saturday would cer- j tainly see that they were awarded the j honor. The following spons9»".s were pres ent: Miss Bill Putnam for Capt. Roy Hogrefe, Presbyterian; Miss Eliza beth Young for Bob Fraser, manager, Presbyterian; Miss Grace Moody for Carolina’s captain; Miss Annie Sloan and Miss Gene Klaugh for the captain of Clemson; Mrs. John McSHveen, Presbyterian, honorary; Miss Nell Hunter, Miss Rody Lane Brown, Miss Almena Milling. The 100, 220 and 440 were all very pretty races and in the 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash there was only a hair’s difference between first, second and third. In the 100-yard dash Hane of Clemson, took first; Hogrefe, P. C., second; Green, P. C., third; Harvin, Clemson, fourth. In the 220-yard dash Ritchie and Hogrefe came back with a determination not to be outdone and took first and second, respectively, with Hane getting third, and Harvin fourth. The 440-yard dash was a pret ty race and Ritchie, Presbyterian, took an easy win, with Powell of Furman, second; Jordan, Clemson, third; and Wyatt, P. C., fourth. The time was 22.7 seconds. There were three records that came near being shattered. In the high jump Kennedy and Rembert jumped for the last time on 6 feet 11 inches, which is the best state record, and both just tipped the bar enough to cause it to fall. In the broad jump Ho grefe, the Tech relay champion broad jumper, leaped 22 feet 6 3-4 inches, falling short of the record of 22 feet 9 1-4 inches. Gaffney^ Smith of Fur man, tossed the discus within a foot of his last year’s record of 129 feet 10 inches. Coach Walter Johnson ran the meet and Mackey, Y. M. C. A. secretary of Greenville, was head starter, being as sisted by Jack Crawford of Columbia. Summary 100-yard dash: First, Hane, Clem son; second, Hogrefe, P. C.; third. Green, P.

Recreation of the commission is in line with President Hoover’s recom mendation in his message to the spec ial session, , Another recommendation which was embodied in the bill is the changvig of the basis upon which the commis sion would act in making proposals for changes in rates under the flexible tariff. Conditions of competition in the principal market or markets of the United States “between domestic arti cles and' like or similar competitive imported articles’’ would become the basis, in place of the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad.

Industry Prospers—So Prosper The People" Can We Compete With The World? HE competition which South Carolina cotton mills are facing today is not merely the competition within the United States. It is also the competition of foreign countries, where lower standards of living prevail, and where workers receive a mere fraction of the wage earned by American operatives. Cotton goods are sold the world over. The markets of the world are naturally seeking the lowest priced gobds available. It makes no difference whether goods are produced in South Carolina or in southern China, if the quality is the same. The mill which cannot adjust its pro duction costs to meet ever-increasing competition cannot exist. In England wages are only about half as high as in South Carolina. In France, Germany and Italy wages are lower than in Eng land. In Japan and India the cost of labor is still less. In China, which is fast becoming a textile manufacturing nation, the wage of the worker almost reaches the vanishing point. They are all directly competing with our South Carolina textile operatives. Our American standards of living require the highest wage in the world. South Carolina cotton manufacturers are not only heartily in favor of maintaining present wages, but are anxious to see their operatives earn 'more. How can it be accomplished? / The answer lies in modern methods. South Carolina needs an understanding of these fundamental facts. We are facing the necessity of joining forces; and with shoul ders to the wheel setting about to increase the efficiency of the cotton industry with improved methods, modern equipment, and a spirit of mutual understanding and friendly co-operation. Cotton manufacturers realize that standards of living should not be reduced. But the price of raw cotton is beyond their control, and the price of cotton goods is relentlessly fixed by competitibn. % They are attacking the problem by the use of scientific mathods of production, seeking to reduce production costs, without reduc ing wages—truly a great problem. Their first step is in the use of better grades of raw cotton, having stronger and more uniform fibers; cotton that can pass through the machinery with a minimum of breakage. Next comes the installation, wherever necessary, of new and improved machinery to expedite the passage of the raw material through the plant in the course of its manufacture. > Having first an improved material and plant, logical, scientific methods of labor extension are then employed. %et The method used by many, known as the “extended labor system,“ is fundamentally sound. Where understood it meets with the approval of operative and official alike, - Through this method only can American industry successfully compete with cheap foreign labor, and at the same time hold up the high standards of living necessary in America, and the high American wage scale.
