South Carolina football followers were
tiiaatml^a aama misUt>i. tfl«vw
ing the past week, as all of the teams
did well. Probably the biggest sur
prises were the defeat of the Citadel
at the hands of Wofford and the close
score to which the Carolina machine
held the fast Davidson squad, being
nosed out in the final minute of play.
Wofford, held to a tie by Guilford
, College, and nosed out by a goal from
touchdown by Furman, came back strong
on a muddy field and shoved access two
touchdowns against the military lads.
The Citadel was crippled by the absence
of.Captain Crouch, Ende and one or two
other regulars, and according to the
reports put up a game struggle.
Carolina was an unknown quantity in
a way, but the Game Cocks continued
their improvement, and it was only at
the last minute that Davidson managed
to score. It will be remembered that
Davidson was defeated by Clemson and
Washington and Lee by but one touch
down, losing l>oth contests 7 to 0. As
a result of this contest the University

month. As a. result they are being
recognized as one of the strongest ag
gregations in the South.
Furman managed to get away with
the Presbyterians, but it was only the
speed of Speers that kept the Pres
byterians from winning in the last few
minutes of play. Woodson recovered
a blocked kick and with a clear field in
front of him was overtaken by Speer,
the final whistle sounding a few min
utes later.
Newberry and Erskine had a battle
royal at Newberry Friday, and the Due
West t£nm emerged victorious by a
touchdown. The Lutherans were un
able to stop the powerful rushes of
Phillips.

People of Northern. Australia Cry
^Taxation Without Representation.’’
Melbourne, Australia, Oct. 18»—
Citizens of the northern territory of
Australia, copmlgining as did the
Ameniaan colonists at “tarattoa with-
out representation,” have determined
to eject the territorial government es
tablished in that part of the common
wealth. They demand the institution
of a representative government and
the right to vote.
These decisions were taken at a
citizens’ meeting held at Port Darwin,
the principal harbor of the territory,
at which a resolution was adopted, de
claring that the system of administra
tion of the territory by an advisory
council had proved valueless. The
citizens demanded the resignation of
Judge Sevan and of the secretary di
rector of the territory, R. J. Evans.
A second resolution requested those
officials to leave the territory by the
first steamer in order ‘‘to avoid a
revolution.”

The present organization has a mem-
membership of over a million, which
includes men who are backing the
program of the league and are in in
dustries where women are employed.
It is affiliated with the American Fed
eration of Labor.
The National Women’s Trade Union
league tries, through its organization,
to teach women to help themselves to
get better working conditions. Its
purpose is “to protect the women work
ers of America from inadequate wags
and extreme working hours through
the organization of the workers, and
through such legislation as the mini
mum wage and the eight-hour day; to
increase co-operative action among
them; to ersate a public opinion that
really understands the labor mov^
moot; to secure definite and accurate
information concerning conditions
smong women and child wage earners
leading to legislative action; to supply
at all times to sll wsge earners as
sistance la working oat their lndu»
trial difficulties."
Mrs. Raymond Robins is president
Of The league and chairman of its com
mittee on International relationships,
which Is in charge of arrangements for
the International Congress of Work-
log Women. Miss Mary Anderson,
chief of the women’s bureau of the
United States department of labor, la
secretary to this committee.
The congress is being called at the
official request of the standing com
mittee on Women’s Industrial Organi
zations of Great Britain and at the
Informal request of women’s labor oi^
ganlzations in France and Tfaly. Prob
lems and conditions affecting the work
of women and children will be dis
cussed and remedies for these ills con
sidered so thst practical suggestions
can be taken back by the delegates ts

demand a provisional government.
The northern territory, a sparsely
settled region in northern Australia
with an area of 523,620 square miles,
and a population excluding aboriginal
tribes or less than 5,000, iwas formerly
a corporate part of the state of South
Australia, but was surrendered by the
SWTftn turn 'HUiiil TTWTt-Tff
giiVPHK 1
commonwealth January 1, 1911, and
has since been giverned under an
appointive territorial administration.
The coastal regions of the territory
have a tropical climate, but in the in
terior is a table land, rising gradual
ly from the coast to a height of about
1,700 feet. Parts pf this table land
are excellently adaptable to grazing
and the white inhabitants and about
one-half of the 5,000 non-aboriginal
population are principally engaged in
cattle raising.
CCfarON VARIETIES FOR
BOLL WEEVIL CONDITIONS
Clemson College Extension Depart
ment Gives Advice on Seed Selection
in Fighting Boll Weevil.

vil, now advancing so rapidly in South
f
Carolina, the Extension Service of
Clemson College has tested during the
last three years about twenty of the
best varieties of cotton with reference
to early fruiting and early maturing.
The experiments were conducted in
Edgefield, Aiken, Barnwell, Hampton,
Beaufort, and Charleston counties to
drtcrTTrlnc-thc -vaTietfes best oatted-te
beat the boll weevil.
From the results so far obtained and
from observations as to fruiting and
growth, says E. E. Hall, ekpert In cot
ton breeding, the short staple varieties
to be recommended for South Carolina
conditions are Cleveland, Cook, Dixie
Triumph, and Dixie.
On land free from wilt Cleveland
Big Boll has given the best average
results, and this is considered one of
the best varieties for South Carolina,
if land is entirely free of wilt.
Cook ranks among the highest yield
ing varieties in the state, but is not as
generally grown, because anthacnose
or boll rot is worse in this variety
than in any other.
/Dixie Triumph is the earliest and
highest yielding wilt-resistant variety
made good yields on wilt-infested land,
but It Is not as early as Dixie Triumph
Among long staple varieties Web
ber 49 and Webber 82 ave the earliest
tested. Webber 49 fruits and matures
a little earlier than Webber 82. Both
are well adapted to the state iwhere
wilt does not occur, as they fruit prac-
i.hi> ahnrt atnnlp
and frequently yield as much seed cot
ton per acre.
Seed of any of the above varieties
can be obtained from breeders in the
state, who, for several years, have
been selecting and breeding for earli
ness. The Extension Service of Clem
son College.will furnish farmers with
a list of the best sources of seed in
(Re state upon application.

New Orleans to be Principal Port for
Line to be Established Next Moath.
Philadelphia, Oct. 17.—New Orleans
is to have a new steamship line which
will begin operations early next
month and handle shipments from
and for the entire south, .according to
a published announcement here today.
The vessels of the new line will op
erate from Philadelphia and New Or
leans through the Panama canal tp
Los Angeles, San Francisco and Hon
olulu. The new line is reported to
have the financial backing of the steel
interests of Phikfdelhphia and Is made
possible by the present rail rate on
steel products from the Atlantic''to
the Pacific coast, which is $1.371-2
per* hundred pounds. The water
route, it is declared, will cut this rate
almost in half. The names of the
steamships which will be placed on
the route will be announced soon.
On the eastward run from the Pa
cific coast the ships will bring sugar
from Honolulu and canned goods,
dried fruits and other products of the
western coast. The ships will stop at
New Orleans and discharge part of
their cargoes of merchandise destined
for places in the south, then take on
rice, cotton and other products of the
south for Philadelphia. On the west
ward run the steamships will take
out cargo for (New Orleans and other
southern points, and iron, steel and
manufactured goods for the Pacific
coast.
Capt. George L. Craig, of the Ship
building company, Lorain, Ohio, and
who also conducts a shipbuilding
plant at Los Angeles, is the senior
member of the firm establishing the
new line.

Meet for First International In

Chief of Women's Bureau, United
States Department of Labor, Says
Women Must Consider Own
Problem*.
A " '
Washington, Oct. —.—“The Interna
tional. Cengress of Working Women,
to be held in Washington on October
23d at the call of the National Wom
en’s Trade Union" League of America,
affords the first opportunity in the his
tory of the world for working women
to get together to discuss their com
mon problems and different phases
of employment to the end that they
may inaugurate higher industrial
standards the world over” says Mary
Anderson, chief of the Women’s Bu-
reafi of the United States Department
of Labor.
Miss Anderson Is secretary to the
committee on International Relation
ships of the Trade Union League and
in chsrge of arrangements for the con
ference.
Miss Anderson continued to say:
“The United States can no longer be
Isolated as a nation. We have taken
our place In the family of nations and
stand In danger of either going up or
down with the rest of the world in re
gard to Industrial standards. T> this
end we must never forget that by raid
ing standards of employment for the
12,000,000 women In gainful occupa
tions In the United States, by guard
ing against child labor and giving
proper protection and care to women
and babies, we are helping to raise
the standards, and that Just aa «oon
as we fail to make our standards as
high as they should be we will cause
suffering and hardship among women
and children either In our own coun
try or in some distant unthought at
part of the world.
“The Trade Union principle recog*
nizes the fact that working women
shall participate In the conditions gov
erning their employment, that they
shall use their own initiative to the
end that they may have control over
conditions under which they work.
They all agree that because of this
women must have their own part in
the organizations that" consider the
cnnditloQs of women’* work, whether
these be local, national or Intern*
tional.”
Thirty-four countries have been
asked to send women delegates from
i’.ccredited labor organizations to at
tend the Congress. Each country will
have ten votes on the floor of the Con-
frees, end is entitled to ten delegate*
