Only three of South Carolina’s foot ball elevens have announced their schedules for the approaching year, .but these three—Carolina, Clemson ‘and Presbyterian College—indicate that the games now recognized as fixed state classics are to occupy their same relative positions in the season’s pl»y. The fair week contest at Columbia, when the Carolina Gamecocks and the Clemson Tiger do battle before • a crowd that no other athletic event in the state, and few-in the South, can attract, will be played on October 21 —“Big Thursday” of the fair. It will be the 24th meeting of these two teams, and there is, already talk of once again enlarging the seating ca pacity of the stadium, which was packed to its limit of almost 13,000 this year. Two other contests that run neck and neck in the matter of drawing the second largest crowd of the season are also booked fpf repetition. They are the Carolina-Citadel joust, which has become a fixture of the Orangeburg county fair, and the Car- olina-Furman engagement, the game that^or the last two years has prac- iically settled the question of the state championship. The Gamecocks and Bull Dogs are matched for the Orangeburg fray on October 27, just six days after the fair week game. The Purple Hurri cane, this year’s undefeated champion, will come to Columbia on November 13 to test its mettle against the Uni versity eleven. On Thanksgiving Day, ^Greenville is again likely to b$ the football cap ital of South Carolina, with the Pur ple Hurrjje.ane„and the Clemson Tiger mixing it iip in their annual' fracas. Citadel and P. C. will also play their regular Turkey day game, again ' at Charleston, and it is understood the Wofford-Newberry scramble will be on the board for the holiday menu, although neither of these institutions has announced its schedule< South Carolina will not play a Thanksgiv ing game; the Gamecock’s schedule will be completed by the contest at Columbia with North Carolina State RElAL ESlTATE IN WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA , ' For Quick Turn-Over Get the Advice of one of the Oldest Realty^ Firms in Hendersonville, ‘The Center of Activity.’' H.

Wofford is looking forward to starting the season a week ahead of othfer Palmetto state teams in 1926 as she did this year, again opening with V. M. I. on September 18 at Lexing ton. Other games already announced for the Terriers include: Davidson at Spartanburg on Sep tember 26; South Carolina at Colum bia on October 16; Clemson at Spar tanburg on October 29 pending; P. C. at Spartanburg on November 5, and probably Newberry on Thanksgiving day. Besides the Carolina* and Clemson games, and the annual meeting with P. C., announced for October 23 at Greenville, only one other gama on Furman’s schedule has so far been announced, that with Georgia, which will be played on October 16 in Ath ens. Erskine appears on Carolina’s sched ule for the opening date, as in former years, and the Seceders will meet the Blu6 Stockings of Presbyterian'Col lege on October 19 at Clinton. A game with Clemson for October 16 has been mentioned, but so far as is known here, has not been closed. One team that has never before been seen on a Palmetto gridiron has been booked by Carolina—Maryland will come to Columbia on October 2 for a battle with the Gamecocks.

To Cot and Give Most Pleasure at Ckristmat 'TpFIBRE Is Christmas generosity ani * Christinas charity. Bet there should always be Chrisl» •ae tact _ When you are giving to those whs have not as much as you have do not give your presents with condescending manner or with a patronising air. Do not act as though you were superior because you could give. De not attach a cold, haughty speech te jy<»nr gut ; Sometimes people can give so that all the glow that comes from the. gift Is the one they themselves receive be cause of their own feeling of having been charitable. Sometimes such a •peeoh can extract all the real pleasure eut of the gift to the one receiving it. Christmas is the time for true char ity i foe that charity which comes from the heart, which loves one’s fellow men and wants to do all that la possible to bring Joy wherever possible. Give as though it were a pleasure te give—net as though you were being noble. Do not give as though you thought by giving you had the right te assume n certain attitude of disdain toward those who were somewhat beholden to you. If you are more fortunate In worldly goods It Is your opportunity to have the great,pleasure that la derived by giving. There are few greater pleas ures when you give with the real Christmas spirit. .. There Is Christmas gene realty and Christmas charity. But there should always be Christ mas tact—Mary Graham Bonner.

How the father had kept such a young family together was a miracle even to him, but with the help of the day nursery, he had man aged very well. For the third Christmas new the widower tucked the children snugly in bed with a promise to call them at daybreak. Then he tiptoed to his own room. Half an hour later when the house was quiet, Santa Claus entered the tiny kitchen and proceeded to fill the four little stockings hanging in a row behind the stove. Then suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten to bring a present for the father of the house. How disappointed the little ones would be to have their father overlooked like this! Why, they would think he's not been good! But it was too late, now, to get him anything. Nothing could be done. Shortly after the house was quiet once again, the little girl stole into the kitchen and hung a stocking with a package In It near the others. For months she bud saved her pennies so that when Christmas came again she would be able te play Sgnta Claus to daddy. “How surprised ’n happy he will be,” she thought, as she crept back to her room.—H. Lucius Cook. 1121, Waalcrn Nawapapar Union.) , Burning the. Yule Log The burning of the Yule log at Christmas time, In parts of England and. the continent, is a sunival from an ancient festival annually held among the northern nations to cele brate the return of the sun after the winter solstice (December 21). The Yule log is thought to bring good for tune, and frequently part of it Is saved to light the new one In the fol lowing year. The Italians regard the charred Yule log as a preventive against lightning. “Yule” is an old word for Christinas, and is still no used provlncially. 1: • •' Chocolate Caramels Use one pound of brown sugar, one- fourth pound unsweetened chocolate, shaved, and one-half cupful of water.

C. Dcmse Brothers TYPE- 5 -! I Al_ 5E-E1AN A car that many will consider an ideal Christmas gift for the family. To lounge rcstfully in the ample rear seat is an experience in motoring luxury. Its desirability is further heightened by the smartness and good taste of the special equipment. Vou are pleasantly aware, too, that the car is everywhere admired, not alone for its beauty but for the genuine goodness and dependability which Dodge Brothers have built into it. It is this knowledge—that you are not enjoy • ing luxury at the sacrificecf economy—which, in the final analysis, is the solid foundation on which rests your pleasure in giving or in owning the special Type-B Sedan.
