lina’s cotton crop, larger than last
year despite the drought, should
bring approximately $7,550,000 more
on the basis of recent prices, Frank
p. Black, United States Agricul
tural statistician, estimated yester
day.
Mr. Black forecast a crop of 763,-
000 bales, which he said would be
worth- $49,214,000 at the .Septdhiber
15 price of 12.29 cents a pound. The
prospective price represented an 18

fought football game from Newberry
high school last Friday by a 13-€
score.
The game-was played on a rain-
soaked and muddy field which slowed
down the running attack of both
teams, besides being the cause of
many fumbles.
Clinton received the opening kick
off and Foster, after returning it to
his 35-yard line, let the wet ball %\ip
through his fingers and Newberry
recovered. Before Clinton coulij fully
recover from this, Newberry had
made two first downs, alld had first
down on the Clinton four-yard line.
The stubborn Clinton forward wall
held for three downs, but on the last
try Newberry pushed over a 'score.
In the third quarter Clinton came
bask fighting, and H. King took the
ball around right end for 40 yards
down-<-to 7the/ Newberry eight. ATiet
a line play H. King carried the ball
off tackle for the touchdown, and
when a moment later Jones kicked
the extra point, the score was 7-6 for
Clinton. '■
In the last quarter Foster recov
ered a Newberry fumble on the 40-
yard line and H. King broke away
on the next play down to the two-
yard marker, and from there H. King
went over for the second touchdown.
Due to the soggy field, the fast
stepping Clinton backfield did not get
to run as usual, but in the line Bishop
got through consistently to throw
Newberry backs for heavy losses.
