ABBEVILLE HIGH fl BEATS NEWBERRY 1 ? ( Abbeville Boys Get Away to Early Start and Make Three Touch- |1 downs in First Half l c Press and Banner. i The Abbeville high school boys got i e away to a good lead yesterday after-1 r roon and won from Newberry high! 20 to 0. The first touchdown came j in the first four minutes of play, fol- j lowing a blocked kick recovered for j( Abbeville. Harris carried the ball j ' across and Galloway kicked goal.

( The third touchdown came near the c vend of the second quarter when * Smith recovered a blocked kick and!s ran 25 yards with the ball and cross-p ed the line.

I ^ tllCd* JL 11 lO Wiii^/ivvvv* ?t.v wVV..?0 Newberry tightened up in the second s half and played a good game. Abbe- 1 ville made nine first downs to New- 1 berry's five. * All the Abbeville boys played with ^ plenty of ginger yesterday, the team working together perfectly. The de- * fensive playing was much better than ] that exhibited in the Anderson game, 1 the line and backs frequently getting * the Newberry backs behind the line 1 #/? lnceac Tbrpp ^ ana tlirUWlIIg U1?W aw a luawkn punts were blocked and Smith alone 1 intercepted three passes. Newberry's * * r downs were made principally on passes. * Abbeville's goal was not seriously j1 in danger but once, near the end of * the game when a poor kick by Abbe- * ville and a long pass Tarrant to ( "Cromer and a short gain around end ' * placed the Newberrians on the ten ' yard line in position to score but they ^ lacked the. drive to put it over and ' lost the ball on downs. The Newberrry quarterback show- . ed unusual coolness iti continuing to" ] ran his team at a snail's pace with j1 the whole field hooting at him. He certainly should have won- the game if coolness and deliberation would J . Win it. Despite Tarrant's seeming effort to play to the stands, he played ^ _____ a good game, getting off some good v tackles while playing at defensive position. Prof. J. L. Keitt, Jr., the * Newberry coach, accompanied the 1 team. Members of the visiting team were ^ a j -d ? ( "-fYUcWIlii, J1VCUVYXV.&, UUIUO, . Wiggins, Caldwell, Cromer, Hardeman, Spearman, Tarrant and Eddy. * ^ Abbeville played the usual lineup ex- c cept in the last half a nuruber of the * substitutes got into the fray, all of c them showing up unexpectedly well. 1 Todd (Furman) was referee, Sweten- ( burg (Clemson) healdinesman; Pad- * gett (W. & L.) umpire, and Fulp (P. * C.) timekeeper. ^ ^ ECLIPSE OF MOON 1 i ' Greenwood Index was Right?Some- 1 thing Was Wrong i The Greenwood Index of Monday i said that something was wrong with 1 the moon Sunday night. It also said '< that "something wrong" was probably < an eclipse. The New York Times of 1 v Sunday warned its readers to look out 1 for the eclipse, saying: 1 "There will be a partial eclipse of the moon tonight. The moon will rise : at 5:56 p. m. with a shadow of the 1 t * earth already upon it and which will 1 not totallv Dass awav until 7:34 d. m. r Of unusual interest is the fact that the rising of the moon in partial eclipse follows immediately the set- 1 ting of the sun, giving the spectator a practical demonstration of the cause of the phenomenon. "The coming of the eclipse directly, after the reported discovery of /vegetation on the moon has caused 1 speculation as to the effect of the ' earth's shadow on growing crops ; there. Presumably, the eclipse pro-j< duces a cold wave which blights plant'; life, if the changing colors observed' by Professor W. H. Pickering in the [ < moon craters do indicate plant life.; "The moon has fourteen days of ' sunshine followed by fourteen days ; of darkness. During the dark period most of the surface is believed to reach the absolute limit of frigidity. According to the Pickering theory two days and a half of sunshine on < the cloudless and atmosphereless ) moon warms *it sufficiently to start * the vegetation, some of which reaches ' maturity in two days. On such vegetation the eclipse would come as a': killing frost. ii The earth is kept warm over its1 c-V -nirrVit f V,0 Hlunlcpf of fltmfiS CUV/JL 1/ XI IA o UJ, bt?v ? phere, especially water vapor, which absorbs and holds the heat but in the i t absence of anv such heat retaining i envelope the moon presumably sends : heat rebounding into space almost as : fast as it arrives from the sun. The moon's atmosphere, if there is any, is several hundred times thinner than : ) that which governs climatic condi-n :ions along the line of perpetual snow J i >n earth. j} "However, Professor Pickering be-;t ieves that two crops grow on the, ( noon during the fourteen-day span; c )f sunshine in some parts, so that the j j noon inhabitants, of doubtful exist- j j mce, will not necessarily suffer a fa-1 nine." 1 t The D.

I r? ? ^ ^ SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL AT WHITMIRE % ? southern Christian Advocate. A On October the second we closed i very successful meeting at the: Methodist church in Whitmire. Rev. ^ S. O.

While this was ^ lot a union meeting there were addi- j ( ;ions to all the churches in the town.' , i Brother Hobbs preached a strong gospel in a very forceful way. His j nessages are saturated with prayer md are attended by the mighty power | ( jf the Holy Ghost. He uses no pop-j( ular methods. The people are invited to an altar of prayer and many weep 1 their way into the Kingdom of God. Brother Thumm as a good leader of j song. He can not only lead the sing- ^ ing but is a spiritual power himself and is effective both around the altar ( and in personal work. These two men H make a good team and any church ^ that wants a real revival will do well to employ them. f J. P. Simpson, P. C. j* - I; A Good Word for Bankers Anderson Mail. ! Perry Buckingham, 40 years a busy banker in Barnwell?yet never too busy to perform any of the manifold public duties of the all 'round good citizen?was a month ago promoted; against his will to be president of the < Bank of Western Carolina, having' eight branches and a many-sided, ex- i tensive business. Sunday afternoon i last he died by his own hand, leaving ^ a letter which indicated, between the : lines not less than in the text, that ] he had broken under the strain of his t responsibilities. j( His lamentable end, like that of an- i Dther gallant gentleman nearer home < not so long ago, ought to make the ] rest of us understand somewhat bet- ? ter than we have, what stress our t bank officers have undergone in the i recti* trying past?and yet undergo- f r * i x xx i ing, i^r rnai maxier: t a Most of us, whatever our fields, 1 have had our own special troubles in 1 the same period. The banker, how- < ever, holds in such times a relation ( peculiarly "delicate, difficult and re- 1 sponsible. Obligated to serve his com-!( munity to the utmost practicable ex- 1 tent, and as a rule eager to do so, he is at the same time bound, also to < safeguard the interests of the manv,' < * vhether shareholders or depositors, vho have entrusted their funds to lis management.fi His fiduciary rela- J ion furthermore devolves on him the charge of moneys belonging to wid)\vs, orphans and tohers toward whom 1 Particularly he stands in an exacting; position. Every resource that the DanKerj lad, of energy, sagacity and discre-! ion, has been required to the steer-1 ng of a safe course, between reck- j essness on the one side, which would. lave been breach of faith, and a tim- j >rous convervatism or the other which vould have been equally a failure to unction rightly. His has been in' ivery sense a man's job. Good men' md true have collapsed under its lemands, as we have seen; tried be-! ;ond their powers of endurance.- Sure-! y if others, perhaps equally harrass-j ;d, but made of sterner stuff, have1 'carried on" through it all, yet have' >een on occasions a little .curt or; >rusque, we ought not to cherish re-1 entment or rancor. The French say1 +/-? all is to nardon all.; iiav vv uiiuvicvM??v? ?-- ? ? : )ur bankers for the most part have j icquitted themselves manfully and j aithfully. Let's try to understand i heir trials. Undoubtedly the burdens ' hey carry would be appreciably j ightened if they could feel that their j ommunities gave them a little more j >f comprehension, forbearance and J ympathy. rHREE MURDERERS NOT ELECTROCUTED! j Fox, Gappins and Kirby Still Live rhe State, 22nd.

Greenwood Index-Journal. In saying "here" we do not mean >ur own immediate locality but use he word to locate a certain communty in which they do mean money. [?he community is the little town of ^aconton, Ga., a town of around one housand people, whose pecan crop i his year, and the crop includes,'of j ourse, the yields of trees in adjacent j erritory, will amount to a millionJ lounds, according to the Atlanta! fournal. The nuts are of unusual juality and the money value is said to >e practically half a million dollars, rhe crop may be retailed at a dollar i pound but the railroads and the lifferent middlemen will get a good Dart of all above that half million lollars. Anyway half a million dolars for one community is not bad; t is about half the value of some I >f the cotton crops of Greenwood' iounty. We do not believe in pecan culture is a paying venture alone, for this section, but so far the owners of bear- j ng trees have always managed to sell j :heir entire supply. We need more: rat and fruit trees on all the farms J >f the county. Many farms can be j found in this county without a single J fruit or nut tree on them. There j should be both kinds for the benefit * ? * - - ?1 ^ I )f the owner's family 11 not ior saie.> \nd then the little surplus means | iust that much extra money. Eighty: iollars from such sources would be i jqual to the interest on a thousand j :!ollars and a man with a thousandj lollars out at interest counts himself i fortunate individual. Peanuts and Tariff areenwood Index-Journal. We Southern farmers do not pay; nuch attention to tariff questions but' tow and then somethings bobs up1 ,vhich makes us realize that there is | such a thing as "the tariff." Take ! nonnn + c nnw nn OVnmnlp. About Lftaiiui'O uvti v*.. ? L - ;wo weeks ae:o neanuts were fetching; I )ne hundred dollars the ton, accord-; ng to market r^>orts. Now they are quoted at sixt\<five dollars the ton.! [t will be remembered that we noted some days the report of the commit:ee of investigation from the Cotton ' Seed Crushers association of this, ;tate in which it was stated that in I he opinion of the Southwest Georgia j 'armers:, peanuts at one hundred dol- j !ars the ton were about on a par with cotton at twenty cents. A drop from : )ne hundred dollars the ton to sixty- ! the ton makps the oeanut rop much less valuable than it was | wo weeks ago. The explanation is that the Fordney j emergency tariff bill proposed a tariff f >11 all foreign grown peanuts. This would cut out the great Chinese crop f which can be sold here so much less j than our native crop because they can i gtow them so much cheaper in China.; Now the rumor has gone out that this', provision of the Fordney tariff bill . is to be left out so that the Chinese! / i 1 peanut crop can come in here at a.( lower price than our native crop and: the big peanut crushing plants are i cutting the price on this report. This j probably has some bearing on the; price of cotton seed oil also, as it is; admitted that the supply of that will! J oe very snort. We do not believe in the Fordney' tariff bill as a relief measure of any real value. It will, however, appeal to the peanut grower as a "protective : waasnrp" nf some value and there! might be some excuse for this itemj as a genuine "infant industry." It is!, a case of allowing our sympathy to ! i run away with our traditional politics1: and :before endorsing any sort of pro-jj tective scheme we need to consider ( more than the phase of temporary re- " lief. ' SCOUTS AND Y'S AS BOY TRAINERS Dr. D. D. Wallace in Southern Christian Advocate. Worldwide attention has been at-J tracted to the Boy Scouts by Sir Er-; nest Shackelton's choosing two of:! these young fellows for his South IPolar expedition. Sir Ernest knows J, 1 - 1 ^ wtnlrivinr r\f q mnn : Wnm illLU tJIC uianmg vj. c? . and those who know the Boy Scouts will agree, that he did well in including two of them in the small and > rigidly select company that is to spend four years under circumstances 1 that demand the finest qualities of mind and heart and physique. General Baden-Powell hit upon one!' of the finest veins in Anglo-Saxon! character when he made the peculiar appeal that he did to young English-j speaking boys by organizing them into bands that appeal so strongly to i manly boys. Scouting satisfies the i group spirit that if misdirected takes 4-1-" u?,T mtn Ko/1 PAirmariTT arid de-! lllc UUJ 111 IU UUU VUU.fW,, , grading associations. It stimulates! in the yputh all his latent manliness, I. the sort of manliness, so perfectly exemplified in Robert E. Lee. 1^ makes the Scout instead of the i tough, and puts him into the "troop" | instead of the "gang." ; Last Sunday I walked up to a crowd of about a hundred people just in time to see a* man dragged out of the water by a hook. He had been 1 4.?. AM A>*f it wirmfM under xor unny ui iui miUMww. i Nobody seemed to know what to do. Bat in a minute or two I saw someone astride of the body going through systematic motions with great energy but perfect composure. I recognized him as a well known boy scout. He i knew exactly what to do with aj drowned, or supposedly drowned.) person, just as he would have known' if. the accident had been a broken! bone or a snake bite. After he had: worked himself tired, he put others j to work, shoving: them how to operate the man's lungs without even losing a motion in changing workers. | It was hard to get a doctor; but after: a half hour a Y. M. C. A. secretary came along and took up the effortsat resuscitation with great enthusi-j asm. People began to say it was no use, that the man had been in water too long. But just then a husky young fellow came up and relieved the tired Y man, with the assertion that he had ?een them revived after being in the water two hours when j TT~ J! J | he was in tne navy, ne uiu hui to stop even when the doctor arrived and pronounced the man stone dead. And so the men who knew how and who had fak-h worked for two hours more, though their efforts proved of no avail. But there was one thing evident: If there had been any hope, these three, or any one of them, would have saved the drowned man. They would have saved him for two reasons: they knew how and they had faith. They liori +wn things that everv boy and 41WVi w " v o~ ?? - - , every girl ought to have; training and j spirit. Yet how few comparatively of our boys aftd girls have either in any adequate degree. How many more could have them if the natural leaders of youth would do their duty. | Young men, paraicularly college grad-uates or successful young business men, athletes, young women of cheer and leadership, by offering themselves as scout masters or girls' campfire leaders could extend the benefits of J l-iositVi Vianninf><;? snfpfv and charac-! ter far more widely among boys and girls. The chief lack, the greatest difficulty, is finding scout leaders. There is a lesson in everything, if we will just look for it. Fleas, for instance, seem to be just about as well contented on one dog as on another. A man in Illinois paid his subscription to his local paper the other day, and the next morning he received notice that an uncle had died and left him a legacy of $50,000. i NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
