Cooper, collector of inter nal revenue, from collecting $106,889 in taxes on cotton goods processed from April to August. _ . W A N T S (From The Kue Stocking) At South Carolina teams swii^ into )ie 1985 eeeeon, the annual Cl^ion- C. game onc^ again looms as the brightMt light on the stste football borizo: In spite of the usual^optimistic re ports from ngertowQ, the idea it gradually eirctd^ng that Presbyte rian will have a o^ter chance to up- the dope bucke'T^is year thah> it has had for the paet M^ral seasons. The strength of the rXC. line, es pecially from tackle to tack^>^ eaaily noticeable. The backfield will of course, a heavy plunging and blocking back; but it will undoubtedly be made I up of four of the fastest and most elusive backs in the state. A fast hack- field behind a strong line has upset many a dope bucket. From the stress laid on aerial work during the past week it looks now as if .Blue Hose coaches will depend largely upon this method for needed yards in the pinches. Perrin’s adept ness at heaving the oval has not been equaled as yet^ by this year’s aspir ants, but Thompson and Wilbanks seem to be on- the up-grade. The punting is something of an un known quality Quarterman, who turn ed in some fine work last year, is com peting in the Camp Perry matches and will not return until the middle of the week. This leaves Wilbanks ot* Thomp son to carry most of the kicking bur den. So now we come to the question of the lineup when the whistle blows Sat urday afternoon. At this stage, no two opinion^ will be alike. To some of. the drug store coaches, however, the Al lowing looks good: Forehand and WaL drep to hold down the ends, Millsap and Collings on the tackles, Plowden and Correll, guards, and Home' at center. The backfield will probably be made up of Higbe, Degner, Holliday, and Wilbanks, with Thompson and Ab bott not far away. Maybe it doesn’t look 80 good to you, but one guess is as-good as another. Whether or not you agree with the above there will be little dispute over what kind of fight the team that does take the field will put up. Win, lose, or draw, the Clemson jungle will see a battle royal whose outcome will be undecided until the last play. Anything may happen and it probably will. RADIOS checked free.

Ip NEW DEAL HIT ANDWENDED (Continued from page one) despair surrendering their freedom for false promisee of 'security.** Some moves of the~£ederal govern ment, he Charged, “are of the same sort of sappings of human rights that have taken place' in other lands. “Liberty never dies from direct at tack. Liberty dice from the encroach ment and disregard of its safeguards. Its destruction can be no less potent from ignorance or desire to find short cuts to jun)p over some immediate pressure.” “In our country, abdication of its responsiibilities and powers by con gress to the executive, the repudiation by the government of its obligation, the centralization of authority into the federal government at the expense of local government, the building up of huge bureaucracies, the coercion or intimidation of citizens, are the same sort of first sappings of safeguards of .human rights that have taken place in other lands. “Here, is the cause of anxiety and concern to the thinking citizens of the United States. “Our Constitution is not alone the working, plan of a great federation of states under- representative govern* ment. There is embedded in it also the vital principles of the American sys tem of liberty. “That system is based certain inalienable freedoms and protections which not even the government may Watkins Approves Revised Plans Of The revised plan of reMganizotion by the Lydia Cotton MUki, which re cently Tiled a petitiott tm^r Section 7l-B of^the naitioeal bankruptcy act, was approved yesterday in Greenville by Judge IL H.

Dine At Camp Forty members of the Chamber of Commerce, headed by President D.' C. Heustess, were supper guests last Fri day evening of the C. C. C. camp lo cated near the city on the Calhoun highway. The guests upon arriving were re ceived and cordiidly welcomed by Capt. A. D.'Tisdale, the commanding'^ of fl eet, ahd the corps of officers associat ed with him both in the camp and for estry division. The members were tak en through the “little city” for on in spection of the buildings, equipment and manual training work being done by the two hundred Negro boys who compoee the camp’s population. Shortly after eight o’clock the party was invited to the dining hall where an enjoyable supper was served. Capt. Tisdale welcomed the visitors and in turn introduced his co-workers and several visitors from other camps. "At the conclusion of supper, IVesident Heu8te88''‘45‘xpre88ed the club’s appre ciation of the invitation, and thanked the camp authorities for^ their cour tesy. The latter part of the program edh^ sisted of a clever entertainment put on by the camp’s glee club under the direction of Mr. Carson, educational director. The group most creditably sang a number of well-known spirit uals and gave comedy stunts and some fine exhibitions of tap dancing. This part of the program made a big hit with the visitors and all came away exposing the genuine pleasure de rived from > evening’s entertain ment. relieKwork to end Ry^OVEMBER FIRST Columbia, Sept. 17. —Colonel J.
