It is not known who these person are who flung profane language U1 from the Columbia side of the field, during the entire game at various members of the team, Teddy Weeks, L whose brilliant playing went so far toward making a victory for Charleston, being the principal target; but it is known that the accusations t< and charges made against the Char- o: leston players were absolutely wtih- Is out foundation. The wrath of the fans, mostly young- and middle-aged S men who were joined in their attack C on the Charleston players by several tx Columbia players, seemed to have d been stirred only by the beating which their team was receiving s< from the Bantams. ft "The situation reached a climax o when Teddy Weeks, whom Colum- e. bia players not in the game, and the above mentioned spectators beg- w ged their players to "kill," was tack- J led fiercely around the neck by y Beale after the former had run for- s ty-three yards to -within two yards s] of the goal line. Beale fell also and h it seems as though something occurr- c; ed between this player and Weeks. n Beale, it is said, was seen to kick a Trr--1 AT VT etJivs as uicjr uum lay v** givuuu just after the tackle and was put ^ out of the game by "Rut" Osborne, t< Columbia's own choice as referee. c; and known to be a fair and competent official. tl A large crowd surged on the field i; at this time and for a while it seem- 5 ed as though trouble of a serious na- a ture might result, but, fortunately, v it was averted. The crowd ardently g demanded that Weeks be removed ^ from the game also. He had done a nothing but run over the Columbia ^ team and yet he should be "killed" for this and be put out of the game because he was viciously tackled and kicked bv Beale. "Weeks is known everywhere as si a player of unquestionable fairness and cleanliness on the gridiron. "The wrathful fans were not satisfied with the attacks made at thei . I game but followed the players up| to the Y. M. C. A. where they dress-1 ed and continued to hurl "language" j at them. | "Furthermore, they did not seem!P satisfied with this, as they sought further satisfaction and revenge!^ for Weeks' fine running against their team by throwing eggs at the coach in which the players came to Charleston. The eggs were thrown] T as the train pulled out of the union' ' station and, of course, the offenders j are not known here." After reading the foregoing ac-|* count, the thoughtful person will likely come to the conclusion that if! high school boys are to be Uken away from their homes on Thanksgiving to play football with other ' c teams, they should be taken into civilized communities. They should * at least be allowed to play the game e through without too much "lani i \ guage" being hurled at them, and ^ when the.game is over the members, of the team should be accorded the | treatment due gentlemen. The proceedings at Columbia would seem to give emphasis to the declaration of President Riggs which t ;ve called attention to sometime r TVioro is t.no much football not s only -ii the colleges, but in the high e schools as well. | * HIEF JUSTICE GARY TALKS ON WISDOM John K.

Declines in the security and grain markets have had a sympathetic effect on sentiment in cotton, and the poorer advices from Liverpool where th trade is keeping a sharp eye on the Lausanne Conference, assisted in breaking down the price structure. Mills and other trade interests have taken advantage of the opportunity to obtain cotton on a favorable basis and have been buying freely on the declines. Opinions as to the probable size of the crop is widening, but not to any important extent notwithstanding the efforts to create this impression in quarters where a still lower basis u v. ?? rru? ifiniQ nnd wouiu ue weicuiuc, xnc estimate that appeared this week is the first in some time that exceeded 10,000,000 bales and was frankly founded on the expectations of a top crop of 150,000 bales. The Census Bureau report of 8,869,000 bales ginned to November 14 hardly indicates that the 10,000,000 bale figure will be exceeded, even though there are still four ginning reports to come before the final statement ia March. But 10,009,000 Bales is a Short Crop But even 10,000,000 bales is a short crop when contrasted with before-the-war normal figures and would justify 25cent or even 30-cent cotton assuming American mill ^consumption of approximately 6,500,000 bales and exports of 5,500,000 to 6,000,000 bales. These figures are not high. The international situation, confusing as it seems, is steadily improving. Sterling is at the highest price in 3 1-2 years. England has set her house in order to an extent that foreshadows an early reestablishment of her Pound at a parity with our money, and our bankers and those of Great Britain may now reasonably be looked to to set about the creation of order in Central Europe. Germany appears traveling "hell bent'' for a smash. Wholesale prices rose 114 per cent in October. They are rising just as fast this month. The printing presses that turn out German currency are still woi'king overtime. So far as today, or tomorrow is concerned the condition is bad, but the patient is approaching the crisis that much more rapidly, and in the long run it may prove a good thing; the doctors will be able just so much earlier to determine what sort of operation to perform to save the patient. World production of cotton in the year ended July 31 according to the United States Census Bureau was 14,741,000 bales, while world consumption was approximately 20,000,000 bales or 36 per cent in excess of production. World consumption this current year is estimatea at zu,uuu,000 bales also an dthe world production is unlikely to reach 17,000,000 bales, and may not exceed 16,500,000. The present world's visible supply is 5,250,000 bales against 6,450,000 bales a year ago with Americans making up but 4,000,000 of this year's total against 4,600,000 a year ago. Springs & Company.

Charlie the Greek had the scare of his life Friday night when Otis Ball, a negro fired several shots through Charlies bedroom door evi dently with the intention of ending Charlies i.arthJy troubles.

The fine I has not been paid and Otis is hav>7 _ <f t:me whil? :n the lockj up to think of his sins. TAX COLLECTION SOON, TREASURY REMINDED Washington, Dec. 2.?The treasury issued a reminder that another payment of income profit's taxes is due Decemoer 15, estimated, a formal statement sa:d, that the payment would bring about $275,000,000.
