Furthermore, our P. C? team playing away from home practically all the season, is at a con- siddrable disadvantage. Playing at home is usually interpreted as at least a touchdown advantage. The country has gone crazy on foot ball as well as on some other things. With good roads and automobiles, dis tance i.< no longer a consideration. Conditions are entirely different from ten years or even five years ago. This being true, we can’t understand why people woa’t come to Clinton for a football game with as much enthusi asm as they go to Clemson, or Spar tanburg, or elsewhere, especially since Walter Johnson’s teams now rank wtih the strongest in the state and are a popular drawing card on the grid iron. We imagine one trouble in the matter of attendance here is that no outstanding games have been includ ed on the Clinton menu. Let it be an nounced that Clemson, or Davidson, or Carolina, or sjmilar teams, are to play in Clinton, and the crowd will come.

OUR NEW SERIAL The first glimmer of dawn was breaking over a gray world, when a curious whistle, a long pipe and ‘hen a short quick one, in the roadside a little way ahead brought Archie to a halt. He drew his gun from his pock et and stood perfectly quiet. In a few seconds the whistle was repeated and Archie, grown suddenly bidd, checked an impulse to fly—and imitate 1 the whistle. A man rose from behind a stone wall on the right and walked toward This is one crop that the farmers of Laurens county should make a great effort in planting, but the trouble with so many farmers is they are not will ing to prepare the soil sufficiently be fore seeding.

ELLIS Real Estate and Insurance PLAY MORE GAMES HERE We are frequently asked by Clin- tonians, and citizens of other places as well, why Presbyterian college does not stage more football games on its own home grounds. While we have no official authority to speak, we have ! been advised by several connected with the college that football in Clin ton does not pay. We are told that it is impossible to make expenses here but that the booking of games on for eign fields always shows a substan tial profit. This we suppose, accounts for the fact that only one game on the home ground is included in this year’s schedule. If we may be allowed to do so, we would suggest to the college that more games be scheduled in Clinton since the sport is not solely a money- making proposition, and that the com munity unite and give the college a liberal patronage and support.. It would bring hundreds of visitors here and be an excellent advertisement for the college in many ways.
