FOOTBALL. sl
The News and Courir has the following
account of the game of foot- ln
ball played Thanksgiving day be- ?*
tween the Charleston and Columbia 51
tfc
High School teams: ^
Members of the Charleston High
i #
S<ihooI team were subjected to con
T:
siderable unfair criticism and some
art
unjust treatment yesterday both
w
at the game and afterwards by
certain Columbia fans "who seemed
p*(
very much at outs with the team f
for absolutely no other reaseon than in
that it defeated the Columbia team
fairly, decisely and completely.
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. | *

COTTON.
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.

CHARLIE, THE GREEK.
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.
Charlie was asleep on his bed behind
the door instead of on his
couch which faces the door so th(^
shots resulted in nothing more than
a good scare for Charlie and a fine
; $100 or 60 days for Otis. The fine
I has not been paid and Otis is hav>7

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.
Not. all of the payment however,
will be in cash as under xne optional
forms of payment permitted, taxpayers
may tu^n in, in addition to
cash or checks, either treasury certificates
of indebtedness maturing
December 15, or 43-4 per cent. Virtory
notes, whether or not they
have been called for redemption Ap
proximately $200,000,000 of the
indebtedness mature on the tax
paying date, the statement said.
Besides the certificates of indebtedness
maturing December 15, the
treasury sust take care of about
$700,000,000 in victory notes
which have been cabled for redemption
on the same date. Permission
to turn in the Victory notes it was
explained, furnishes an additional
facility for taxpaying as well as
aiding in the funding of the Victory
loan.
