VOLUME XXV P. C. LOSES TO CITADEL 7 TO 0 - .. a Berry Score* In First Minute With 1 Deciding Counter of Game. - CLINTON, S. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3,1925 NUMBER 48 ston A \ K h h * * - Hardly had the referee’s\whistle sounded its shrill blast in Chat on Thursday afternoon when Berry, Citadel’s much-praised back, grabbed the kickoff on his eigh teen yard line and running like a marathon racer carried the ball eighty two yards for a touchdown and six points, enough it later proved to beat the Blue Sitckings, even if the Citadel had not received one point because of a P. C. linesman being offside. After that opening spurt the game settled into a real football game and continued as such throughout the rest of the game. The game was a true, fighting, smashing game, with great play being exhibited by both teams. The stars for Presbyterian proved tq be Griffith at tackle, Kirven at cen ter, and Stamps in the backfield. Du gan had also shown up well until he dislocated his shoulder . in the first half. For the Bulldogs the stars proved to be Seabrook at guard, Mac- farland at tackle, and Wilson at cen ter. - “Pike” Berry was playing his last game for the Citadel and he played it in a spectacular fashion. He was r.itadePs only consistent gainer. When he was knocked cold in the fourth quarter the gaining by the Citadel stopped. However, the work of Wein berg did deserve mention, as he got away with several pretty runs. The work of Griffith was without doubt the outstanding feature of play for the Presbyterians. He held his position as if he were a veritable stone wall. As the papers said in their account of the battle, “the Cita del gained precious litlte ground over his positio^.” Griffith’s stellar play ing throughout the game was out standing. He was ably supported by P. C.’s scrappy litle center, the best there is in the state of South Caro lina, Kirven. Kirven was removed from the game near the end, owing to injiirips, hut up until that time he was in play after play, getting tackle after tackle, to rank with Griffith, Sea- brook and Macfarland as the line stars of (the day’s game. , The play of Jack Stamps, doughty young Sophomore, was spectacular. As had been the case'in every game he has taken part in this year, his hurling of passes was almost uncanny. In addition to the beautiful hurling of the pigskin he was the only Blue Stocking back that could make any consistent progress against the Cita del forward defenses. , The game marked the close of the year for the Blue Stocking eleven who have played nine games, winning three and losing six. It marked the laA appearance in a Presbyterian Col lege uniform for Captain Robinson, Rucker at guard, Hunter at quarter, Bailey and Walker at ends, Martin at guard, and Rhame in the backfield. The football season was closed by the game, however, it will be several weeks yet before the final all-state selections will have been completed. No doubt but that two or more names of Presbyterian stars will be found in the selections for that mythical honor. Kirven, Griffith, Stamps, Witherspoon and Wilson all bid fair to be men tioned. It yet remains to be seen which will make berths. The line-up and summary of the last game is as follows: . P. C.

Laurens, Nov. 25.—With the same urbanity that has characterized his long public life, coupled with scrupu lous care and efficiency in the ad ministration of his official duties, O. Thompson, judge of probate for county, yesterday at his of- n the county court house, re- ceived his friends who called to felici tate him on his 82nd birthday anni versary. Truth to tell, only a few out side of his family knew that Monday was his birthday, for as for himself he is diffident about ever speaking of things personal. In^reeting a news paper friend, the judge expressed him self as being “proud that I have been, spared to see this good day.” adding that he deeply appreciated thainterest and tokens of esteem shown him. - Enfeebled^ as he is, the rarely ever misses a Gay from office, though he lives five miles from town. § In many respects Judge O. G. Thompson is one of the remarkable men of Laurens county, a county that has produced many sons of outstand ing prominence and achievement, and he enjoys a distinction unique, in that he has held public office continuously for a period of 47 years. This is prob ably the record for South Carolina as well as for Laurens county. Fo^r ten years ^preceding his „ election as ■ i * 1 * i * *> was tnai justice or magistrate of Youngs, his* native township. In 1894 he was elected as probate judge, after serving six years’ as auditor. Every four years since 1894 he has been returned to the of fice of probate^udge, °^ ten without oppositiori, and he is now in the third year of the seventh term of this of fice. « As a Confederate soldier at the ten der age of 17, to the close of the war, and as a patriotic, upstanding citizen ever since, he has measured up to the best traditions of a South Carolinian. He enlisted with Company G, Laureiig Briars, third South Carolina regiment, m>d was in many ot the* important campaigns of Virginia and Tennessee as a private. His first furlough was obtained February 17, 1864, when he came home because of the lure, of a his school boy days and came to full bloom and flower in the spring after his return, for on March 11 he and Miss Harriett Howard of Greenville county, were married. They celebrat ed their 61st wedding anniversary last March 11, thus adding another record to this man of achievements | extraordinary. Shortly after his return to the army the -last of April the big campaign that led to some of the greatest bat tles of the war, including the engage ment at Spottsrille court house.’ In this battle Judge Thompson was shot through the face, Sunday, morning, May 8. He was severely wounded and had to be sent home for a few months. He rejoined his comihand in the fall, though unable to do field service, and did light work until the end came. Kershaw’s.^Brigade, to which the third regiment belonged, had been transferred to South Carolina just be fore the close of the war to fight Sherman, and therefore did not sur render with Lee at Appomattox, but at Greensboro, April 26, thirteen days after Appomattox. Young Thompson mads his way home as best he could, walking much of the journey, and en gaged in farming in his old home com munity. And for 25 years he was thus employed. ' Judge Thompson is one -of a family of twelve children, the third son of Ellis and Frances Garrett Thompson and he himself reared a family of twelve children. Of the total enlistment of 147 men and officers first and last in Company G, 67 returned home. Today Judge Thompson and Jasper Phillips alone of that historic Confederate commahd and regiment, survive. Columbia, Nov. 28.—The health of 1,500 persons is dependent on each doctor in South Carolina, m report of the State Board of Health reveals. In Jasper county, however, there is only one doctor for every 3,280 per sons, while Greenville county, on the other hand, supplies each physician with only 1,080 prospective patients. Hampton county averages 1,030 -per sons to each doctor. Based upon < the 1920 census there are 1,137 physicians in . the state, the total population of which was 1,692,- 394 persona. This gives an average for the state of 1,500 persons to each practicing physician. In Jasper county there' are only three doctors, each having an aver age practice among 3,280 persons. Berkeley, with a population of 22,558, has an even larger percentage of per- ons administered to by each doctor. at county jhas five physicians, giv ing each an average of 4,500 potential patieh On the other extreme, Greenville county hast a population of 98,498, with a total of 82 physicians, making that county’s average' 1,080 persons per doctor. Hampton county, with a population of 19,950, has 19 doctors, e^ch of whom Has an average of 1,030 persons depending on him for health. Richland county strikes a\appy medi- rwith a -population of 67 doctors, an average of l,t65 per sons per doctor. \ Looking at the matter from another angle, Jasper county contains only 16, persons to the square mile, giving the three doctors a lot of territory be tween patients. From the standpoint of area, each doctor has an average of 198.5 square miles to cover in his practice. But Berkely has Jasper beat. In that county each doctor must cover an area of 248 square miles to make the rounds among his patients who are scattered 18 ,to the square mile. Spartanburg physicians have an average of only 9.2 square* miles to cover, while Greenville county is al most on the same level, with 9.3 square miles per doctor. Richland county gives each doctor 11.4 square miles to cover and the average for the state is 27.1 square miles per doctor.

He knows that you could pay part of your bills, if you cannot pay all— and there is absolutely no excuse you can give for not at least letting him know what you intend to do. See him at once, and arrange to pay a little each week; or pay half and make a definite promise which you will keep to pay the balance at some definite time. x Anyone who really desires to re main honest can settle any bill in this way. Only a real “dead-beat” will con sciously remain absolutely silent and let his creditors think whjat they will. As long as you simply stow his . statements away with never a line of explanation or a word of apology to him^jibout them, he must conclude that you are willing he should class you as dishonest. For the money you are withhold ing from him is not actually yours, you know. It is his. He gave you his time''and cheer ful services, assuming that when he was done you would pay up Jike a man. He did not “look up your credit” as the merchants do. He just came when you called. He did not ask you, before attending you and your fam ily, how you expected to pay. He gave you freely of his time. ~ Now you should pay him. Pay your doctor part—you can not pay all. 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 •0 nil lyj i 0 0 10 jl 0 I 0 0 J II WHAT DO P. S.
