PACK 6DE THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, 8. C. THDH8DAY, NOVEMBER 5. im PURPLE HURRICANE BLOWS HARD AND WINS GOOD GAME Walter Johnson’s Men Hold For Two Quarters But Fall Before An Irresistible Drive After a Game Fight By TOMMY GRAFTON Furmari’s ^Purple Hurricane swept over the Presbyterian College Blue Stockiftfr Eleven last Saturday on Manly Field in Greenville, and shat tered the dying Inpes of the South Carolina Presbyterians for a state championship. The score was Fur man 27, Presbyterian College 3. Resisting the Purple rushes with all the courage of a lost cause, the brave crimson-coated warriors from Clinton were beaten steadily back. As Fur man’s irresistible • machine piled up touchdown after touchdown, the boys from P. C. did not cease fighting. It was a real football game till the final whistle. Presbyterian showed a live spark until the very last. After Furman had scored her fourth touchdown, just as the third period was closing, the Clin ton men opened a drive that senf the Purples back into their own territory and forced them to follow defensive tactics. Old P. C. never played a finer brand of football than was ex hibited in that last period. Hopeless ly beaten, with no chance to even the score, the lads that follow Walter Johnson fought for a score. Twice they carried the ball to the Purple’s 10-yard line. It was a pathetic scene as the exhausted men • of Johnson strove desperately, but in vain, to bring honor to the Alma Mater by crashing over Furman's goal line. Twice Furman refused to yield, and ] unted out of danger. F.ach time the Presbyterians surged back. The mo ments were ticking away, and it ap peared as though the P. C. eleven was doomed not to score. Two minutes of play. Presbyterian on Furman’s 30-yard line. After three downs had failed to i,*ain, and having lost ground so that the ball was plant ed on the Purple 35-yard mark. Quar terback Hunter called Jack Stamps back to dropkick. The crowd held its breath as the ball rose in a grace ful arch and dropped just over the goal posts. It was the most magni ficent dropkick ever booted in a South Carolina intercollegiate champion ship game, and measured 45 yards. Presbyterian had scored at last on the Purple Hurricane. Furman 27, P. C. 3. The Presbyterian-Furraan contest showed P. C. in its best light. Two of the touchdowns were of the lucky kind. In the first half, with thirty j seconds to go, Wilson leaped high into the air to intercept a pass on his own goal line. The ball was* struck upward, and sank into the arms of a Furman receiver. Furman’s final touchdown was made when McGee re turned a punt several yards to the goal line. Stars on both teams were numerous. The Furman backfield played bril liantly and consistently, especially Rawls and Laney. The latter wrought havoc time and again in the Blue de fense. On P^, C.’s eleven, the out standing defensive star was left tack le Witherspoon. He played witfc su perb energy, diagnosing the Hurricane plays, and many times crashed thru the Furman line to nail the offensive in his tracks. Furman’s back- WOULD ELIMINATE AUTOMOBILE TAX Goods Roads Association Leads Fight. Nearly One Billion Has Been Collected Since 1917. man field men found difficulty in gaining over his' position. Witherspoon play ed a brand of football Saturday that justifies belief of many df his friends that before he gets out of the mole- fckin,s-he will receive nominations for South Carolina’s all-star eleven. On offense, Stamps and Wilson were the big men. Wilson riddled Furman’s line time and again, and Stamps proved a power in the passing game. In the last quarter he found ■ Charleston, Nov. 1.—Since October 4, *1917, a period of eight years, the automotive excise taxes, commonly known as war taxes and imposed to raise revenue needed on account of the World war, have taken from the motorists of America nearly $1,000,- 000,000, according to a statement made by J. Gilmore Smith, president of the South Carolina Good Roads as sociation, with headquarters at Char leston. “Our organization has just com pleted an extensive investigation cov ering the entire period that the auto motive excise taxes have been in force, and we compute the amount collected to have been $862,000,000 up to June 30, 1925. Approximately $15,000,000 more was collected in July this year and assuming that this was an aver age for the months of August and September there has now been added the sum of $45,000,000, making a open men on several occasions and grand total of $907,000,000. hurled the leather with deadly accu racy. Stevens, on the receiving end cf his flings, brought terror to the Purples as once he narrowly missed a clean field for a touchdown, trip ping up after he had bridged a gap of 2C yards. Griffith, after being out of the game for two weeks on account of in juries, played in his old-time form at right tackle, and stopped many at tacks. From a P. C. standpoint, the thrills of the game were in the long drop- kick, and in one never-toLbe-fprgotten stand in the second quarter. Furman had pushed P. C. back to the 2-yard line, first down and goal to go. Two plays brought the oval to a resting place on the one-foot line, and Rawls tried to carry it over on the third attempt. Presbyterian, backed up against her goal line, held with all the tenacity of a giant wild cat. On the last down, Pipkins, the leading line-plunger in South Carolina foot ball, made a fierce attempt to break through. Presbyterian’s eleven did not yield an inch. Notice State of South Carolina, County of Laurens. Notice is hereby given that a meet ing of the stockholders of Adair- Sumerel, Inc., will be held on Friday, December 5th, 1925, at ten o’clock A. M. for the purpose of applying to the Secretary of State for a Surrender of Charter and winding up the affairs of said corporation and its dissolu tion. E. J. ADAIR, President. Clinton, S. C. November 5, 1925. 12-4-5tc WHAT IX) P. S. J £ A N S DO? In 1924, $124,000,000 were collected thrdugh this special war tax. The motorists as a class paid 88 per cent the total collections by the federal government from ail the war excise tuxes still in force. “The tax docs not end with the pur chase of the motor vehicle. As long as the vehicle is operated it pkys tribute to the war tax because of the imposition of a levy of 2 1-2 per cent on tires, parts and accessories. This tax was 5 per cent until last year when congress cut it in half. At the same titoe the tax of»3 per cent on motor trucks and bodies was eliminat ed as applying to chassis of a whole sale value of $1,000 or under and bodies of a wholesale value of $200 or under. This is the only relief the automotive industry has had since the taxes were first imposed eight years ago, although many other businesses and industries have been completly freed from war taxes. “The tax on tires, parts and acces sories, from-the beginning up to June J10, this year, amounted to $223,867,- 320. Last year its total was $33,- 633,609 and for thp first half of this y«ar, at the reduced rate, it was $12,- 452,098. In July of this year it was $1,844,970. This is distinctly a tax on transportation, and one on a me dium of travel for the masses, because it adds to the cost of operating motor vehicles, taking its toll with every repair that involves the installation of a new part and with every tire re placement. “An average reduction of $29 on all passenger automobiles and lower de livered prices on all commercial ve hicles are promised by spokesmen for the automobile industry if the federal war excise taxes on motor products ^ are repealed. Assurances to this ef fect have been received from 84 fac tories making 104 types of vehicles. “If this federal tax is not done away with this year, the American motorist has only himself to blame. The investigation we have made shows a huge surplus in federal revenues. ^ Hatchery & Feed Company CLINTON, SOUTH CAROLINA For the money invested and time required, there is noth ing that will yield the Farmers a greater return than rais ing broilers the next six months.
