Line-Up.
(By Henry M. Fliedner.)
Three years have passed since Lon
nie McMillan drove the Thornwell
high school team to the only state
title that has ever come to the upper
state. Now, although he is able to
give only a part of his time to Thorn
well, as he is the coach of the Pres
byterian freshmen, he is again di
recting them in the race for the flag,
and to date has made as good a rec
ord as can be desired.

Alice in the old song. She would who is playing his last year of high
smile with delight when you gave her : schtol football, and with his passing
a smile, and tremble with fear at a
frown.”
The v frown that startles the specu
lators now is Europe’s suggestion that
tariffs be wiped out. This land would
have reason to tremble with fear if
that “down with tariffs” suggestion
were applied to the United States.
We might as well go out of busi
ness, start all over again, wearing
homespun and living on our crops.
But that won’t happen.
Science says, “Keep twenty pounds
under what you think is your normal
weight and avoid hyperparathyroid
ism.”
Dr. .Pflueger discovered that new
kind of obesity, says many have it,
that do not know it. A man weighing
200 pounds that ought to weight 180
pounds could lengthen his life if he
would get rid of twenty pounds.
this year there will go out of high
school circles Thornwell’s premier ath
lete, undoubtedly one of the outstand
ing backs of the state, offensively and
defensively. He has attracted the at
tention of sport writers the state over,
as well as that of coaches and follow
ers of the game. Around Earl Dun
lap, quarterback and captain for two
years, who acts as coach in the ab
sence of McMillian, and who calls the
signals, does all the passing, punts a

breaks in the western part of the.corn
belt have been experienced under
very dry conditions. This, no doubt,
explains to some extent,why the heavy
infestation is throughout South Caro
lina, and especially in the Piedmont
counties. It is very necessary for us
st all times to select uninfected seed
to plant, as we are troubled more to
day with pests and insects, and dis
eases more than ever before.
Fat men and others not too fat, try
this. Once every month, or better,
twice, eat nothing but fruit for twen

Begin now with grapes. They are

Dr. Coolidge, of the General Electric
Company, has perfected a tube for
generating cathode rays, most power
ful of all the mysterious rays, the
milikan ray coming next, the X-ray
third.
This cathode lay, possessing great
disintegrating force, may be made
most useful in medicine, when thor
oughly controlled. Applied to the
body of a mouse for the fraction of a
second, the cathode ray caused the
mouse to fall apart, completely dis
integrated although the flesh was not
charred. The same ray might work
wonders in cancer treatment if it could
be regulated. '

who is a fine runner, brings up punts,
and runs beautiful interference; and
Clark, who literally tears an opposing
line to pieces, going off tackle, or
around ends, and who kicks goals with
his left foot, alternating with Earl
in this department. The other mem-
l»er is Howard Stamps, line plunger,
and interference runner. He is a
brother of Jimmie Stamps, the Pres
byterian star.
The well-balanced line, averaging
150 pounds, is composed of Kelly and
Lynn, ends; Buthven and Ferrene,
tackles; Waterman and Rowland,
guards; and Morton, center. One out
standing feature of this line is the
fact that most of them are capable of
playing other positions than the ones
named, and with the exception of Wat
erman and Lynn, they have all had
one or two years experience. In ad
dition to those named, there are Wim-
bish, Willingham, Dennis, McCall.
Futch, Watson, McDuffie, and others
who play in nearly every game.
To date, Thornwell has played sev
en games, and her goal line has been
crossed but once, that by the New
berry freshmen, and she has compiled
a total of 228 points. Most of the
games have been setups, and the sub
stitutes have played most of the time,
but she is a fully qualified class B or
ganization, and from now on her
schedule will consist of games decided
by the committee for that purpose.

Smut In Corn Does Much Damage

As I travel throughout Laurens
county I see quite a bit of smut in

Fruit for the Family On the Farm
There is no state in the South where
conditions are more favorable on every
farm for the production of fruits for
home use than in South Carolina.
There are a few varieties of fruit that
are not so well adapted to this state as
other states. The varieties are apples
and cherries. Yet we do find these
growing throughout the state to some
extent. Such fruits as peaches, plums,
grapes, strawberries, and blackberries,
however, grow and produce well in all
.sections.
Each farm home throughout Lau-
itns county should have a home or
chard, consisting of various fruits and
well taken care of. This orchard
should not be less than one-half acre
of land.
Due to the low cost of fruit trees, a
person may have all his fruit grown
at home.
I am not a sales agent by trade by
any means, but I do order through this
office various farm seed and trees for
the farmers of Laurens county. I am
not trying to compete with any mer
chant or fruit tree agent, but I am
■itating facts and you may do as you
like. Of course, I only order from the
most reliable dealers that can be found
in the country in order to be iure of
what I am ordering for the farmers.
There are no commission charges
whatsoever by this office on orders
for the farmers. I can secure the best
fruit trees at the following prices
plus the expense charges to your ship
ping point:
Apples, 2-3 ft., 12%c each; peaches
(June Buds) 2-3 ft., 10c each; pear,
plum, apricot, 2-3 ft., 20c each; pecans,
2-3 ft., 65c each; grape vines. No. 1
size, 15c each, No. 2 size, 10c each;
raspberry, blackberry, and dewberry
plants at 75c per doz; strawberry
plants at $3.00 per 1,000. Of course,
the larger size trees can be bought at
prices a little higher, but this will, or
should give you an idea as to the
small amount of money it will take to
siart a home orchard.
I am getting inquiries practically
c&ch day aoout fruit trees. Last week
the following men placed, or mentioned
to me about ordering trees for them:
Prof. A. V. Martin, Clinton, Mr. R. L.
Tinsley, Laurens; Mr. Willie McDan
iel, Laurens, and Mrs. S. J. Craig, Ora.
The number of trees of various fruits
were 570, nine grape vines, and 1,000
strawberry plants.
The best time for the setting of
fruit trees is through the fall and win
ter months. Take this matter up at
once and see how many missing trees
you need in youf orchard. You have
often heard it said, “An apple a day
keeps the doctor away.” Fruit is a
necessity and not a luxury.
For your benefit I am listing below
a few leading varieties of fruit and
the time of ripening of each, to set
to one-half acre. They are as follows:
Pears, 2, Keiffer (Summer).
Apples, orte each. Early ^Harvest

Ctreful te<d selectkn will greatly re

Corn smut is a different smut than
that of oats and wheat, and for this
reason there is no danger in planting
oats or wheat after corn, or corn after
wheat. Corn smut lives over winter
on dead plant matter in the field or in
the manure from stock that has been
fed infected stalks. Infection may take
place at any time during the growing
season, so the importance of keeping
the fields free of the diseased mater
ial is quite evident. The tassels, ears,
or “shoats” are usually infected by
this disease. Although, sometimes the
brace roots and portions of the corn
leaves i are infected.
Corn smut may be present among
