to eliminate the east Main street r:v'.- n ,

were the chief actions of the senate o?
at the day session yesterday. :
OjJ
Senator Miller's telephone measure.
W v
a companion bill to the railroad com- wmission
bill, was also advanced to a 15
third reading with notices of gener.nl (.j,
amendments. This measure would put
the telephone companies on the same
' bans as they existed prior to tne or- t..t
der of the railroad commission in
ce<
1921. refusing to allow the compa- t;.(
nies to furnish interurban telephone ac>
service without additional cost to a e
regular subscriber. ^
-r.i? u;n *. *
i eicpiiv^.c LJ[,
The main section cf the bill reads:
"All telephone companies operating
within the state are hereby required
to render to all telephone subscribers ^
interurban telephone service without
su;
ifinr?j?i r?o<5t: therefor, provided, t
aUU4VIV?M?
:hcre is direct interurban telephonic
communication; and no telephone

company operating in this state snail
so limit the telephone exchange radius .
cO
>o as to exclude interurban service ?
re]
which may be rendered without relay ?
STO
and rural service airectjy cu::ucvw.u
* ;rith each telephone exchange." '
Senator Miller explained the details ^
of both bills and showed where he ri<
thought there was ample jurisdiction
for the legislature to make the change
. an
; in the railroad commission. Mr. Miller
scored the work of the present
railropd commission, characterizing it ,
as "unprecedented and intolerable inefficiency."
He also took up the com- ^
mission's telephone hearing and the
or
increased rates, declaring that sucn an ^
? nrr?pr allowing1 the increase was inex
cusable. The commission disregarded
the law cf the state, he declared. He
P
went into close detail on both meas- ^
ures. I o ,
Cl J
A long dobatc was entered into on
? p1
the bill by Representative Foster to j
require the Southern Railway compa- ,fv.
ny to eliminate the east Main street 4
t' n. tO
crossing at Spartanburg.
Senator Watkins moved to strike,"
out the enacting words and by a vote ?
of 21 to 16 the enacting words were i
stricken out. Senator Rogers earnest- j
ly pleaded for favorable action as he :
said the people of Spartanburg have j
"! n t* 1_ I
been trying to get renei ior nean\ \
P 20 vears, but had no chances unless !
i
the legislature acted. The main ar
guments against the bill were that:
[ there were many other crossings just
as dangerous as the one in Spartaburj? i
that should be eliminated and that the [
Southern railway could not possibly
eliminate all these. Reductions in:
freight and passenger rates arc more'
essential than eliminating one cr;?s>-'
? \
ing, Senator Young said, and several:
other senators agreed with him.

Other Matters
Senator Moore's bill to amend the!
highway law so as to allow Abbeville j
county to use the automobile license ]
fund and the two mill tax money for i
ordinary county purposes was referred |
to the judiciary committee upon motion
of the senator from Abbeville.
Senator Miller's bill to require the
vendor of cotton, corn, tobacco or ;
other commodity to disclose he name ;
of the true owner thereof was passed j
and sent to the house as amended, j
The committee on agriculture amend- j
ed the measure so as to make It read
"upon request" and Senator Harrel-!.
son offered an amendment to exempt ;
toibacco warehouses from the terms ;
of the measure. Both amendments j
were accepted.
Representative Bryson's bill to J
amend the present law so as to re- [
quire the state Hag to ne displayed on .
the "inside" instead of the "outside" j
of schools and other state buildings
was advanced to a third reading j
without objection. r
A large number of local bills were <1

s of students who happen to be on
he bar.eball team or on the football
earn. Perhaps if ail the truth were
nown. and ail -he motives exposed,
here has been some maneuvering in
i
II of the colleges looking to the'
uilding up of "the team."
The Press and Banner is not op-'
osed to athletics. We believe that'
ttention should be given to the phyJavoinnmptif
r.f the students.

)oking to rhIs end. athletics should'
e encouraged. And least of all
ouid we discourage those who are i
:.-po.sev! to assist young men to ob-;
iin an education. Here and there:
;'l be found a young man who is
nxicus to secure an education and
ho cannot easily do so without as-'
iitance from someone. If he hap-!
ens to give promise as an athlete, it
culd seem a hard rule that he could
ot be assisted by some omer persim, >
'/on though that other persons dc-1
ires to help .only because the latter
ould help [he athletic prowess of a
L-rinin institution.
But there must be a line somehere
beyond which we cannot go.
ertainly there is too much travel-,
lg owr the country now by college
in order to stage athletic
3orts. Out of the present practices
iil grow nothing except the employment
of professionals. The result
ill be the introduction of an elelent
in college life not conducive to
le upbuilding of the young men
long the proper lines, and at the
1:11c time the loss of the development
hysieally of the individual student.
T ooking alor.e to the institutions
f South Carolina, \vc believe that
rules or regulations should be
lade which would so confine these
ctivities as to prevent the suspicion,
iregulariies are creeping in and'

thut athletics have a place in college s
activities other than what they should a
have. This can be done by requiring t
that no yames shall be played by the h
teams of the colleges of the state ex- i;
cept with e ich other, and maybe with s
the teams of certain colleges outside b
of the state against which there is iu e
suspicion of professionalism. The v
number of games which any college t
may play i'i a term should be limited.
to say, six games. The number of
coaches and assistants should be limited
as should the salarie- pa:.l. K.i
ccuragement should be given to interclass
games between the c'ai-r-i-s of *
th? larger colleges to the end that *
more and more students shall be par
ticipants in the sports. i

found now attending the high schools \
agamst whom there i.< a suspicion that "
they are brought in for the purpose *.
of helping: out the football team.
Perhaps here and there conl:*ibutio?:s i
arc being made to secure the attend- *'
ance of certain students. T':e result ;
is that certain towns and cities a^-e t
able to turn out football teams of '
grown and seasoned men :c. play [
against mere youths. The games become
unequal and it !s ineviiabb that
/
they will be discontinued unless all
the high schools go <.-ut an.I find big
seasoned men for the team.-:, or unless
some sensible restrictions are immediately
passed so, as f:u* as possible,
to keep the jrames between boys of
the average high school age and j
weight.
Tho colleire authorities and those
responsible for the success of stnxe
institutions must give some aitcntien

A Cheering Sign |
New York Times
Times cannot bo so bad as some
growlers try to make out, and they
can not be getting worse, as the most
disconsolate of the growlers contend, j
in a country where the Christmas mail,
is 40 per cent heavier this year than ! J
last. As the increment is in parcel'
nost matter, it means that more peo- J
pie in the United States are giving
more Christmas presents than did so
twelve months a2:0, and they wouldn't j
be doing that if they felt themselves
poor and growing poorer.
Tf there has been, as seems t;> be
the case, an increased tendency to
avoid the making of worthless and
trashy gifts, as was too much the
in days past, and to use more judgment
and sense in the expression of
good-will, that is a change decidedly
for the better and is to be commended.
