Stribling-McKiernan to Fight in Columbia It was definitely decided last night that the Stribling-McKiernan boxing match would be held Thursday night of the State fair, October 22, in tne football stadium. It was'thought at one time that the battle would take place Wednesday night; then Thursday afternoon was considered; but it was finally settled as Thursday night. A fast bunch of 'preliminaries will start at 8 o’clock, ■leading up to the the big bout about 9:30 p. m. % In order for the bout to be staged Thurydoy night it was necessary for C:>tumbife. high school to change the /time of its game from Thursday after noon to Wednesday noon.

The Stribling-McKiernan fight will draw thousands of people to the fair grounds and many people will come to Columbia from a distance to see the famous Georgian meet the fight ing Irishman, who has been so anx ious to meet Young John L.—The State, Oct. 6th. Bamwfell and Olar v _ Play Scrappy Game * Although' outweighed seveifil pounds to the man,' i the Barn well high school football team held the heavy Olar squad to two touch downs at Olar Friday afternoon, the final score being 14 to 0. The Barn- Weii boys played their opponents off their feet in the first five minutes of play, but weight was the deciding factor in the game. The touchdowns came in the la«t part of the second quarter. Olar earned the first one, but the second was made on a fluke. The ball was in Barffweli’s posses sion on their 20-yard line. Arm strong, who was Buffering from an iHjured wrist, dropped back to punt. He was unable to handle the ball ac curately and kicked it with the side of his foot over his head, Olar recover ing it near the goal line and scoring a touchdown on the next play. In spite of the 14 to 0 score, the game was really a victory for Barnwell in holding their heavy opponents to two touchdowns, as it was generally con ceded before the game that Olar should win by at least four or Ih'j touchdowns. Barnwell was not penalized -fe sin gle time, while Olar- suffered se -cral penalties, one for 50 yards. On other occasions they were offside, th^ir players getting into motion before the ball w$s snapped, but evidently the officials did not see this. Barn well plays a strictly high school team, but it was reported in Olar Friday that there is a question aa_to whether or not at least two of that team’s players are bona fide students, one being a graduate of last session. ■When the final whistle sounded, the ball was in Barnwell’s possession in Olar territory. Willie Holland, a son of Mr, T. Ashton Holland, of Barnwell, suffered a broken arm in the last few miutes tof play and will probably be unable to participate in any other games this season.

Those wishing fo get this benefit * should see that the stalks are destroyed during the present week. Those who have studitd the boll weevil problem have found that when weevils are deprived of green cotton sometime before frost, far fewer of ♦ them live through the winter than in the case where they have green cotton to feed upoiY This is the basis cf advice given by entomolog ists.
