The game, played on John son field, was sponsored fc^tJ*e Lions club of Clinton and Laurens. Ttie teams, two of the outstanding • Negro football squaas in the Pied mont area, were supported by a good crowd, white and Negro, represent- ,ing both cities. Net proceeds were divided be tween the two clubs and the two schools. The schools’ share will be used to finance athletic activities and the clubs’ share will be used in their sight conservation programs. Bell street won the game toward the close of the first half when Rob ert Peake, fullback and passer, flung the ball “a country mile” to Leroy Higgins, left end, who caught it in the end zone for a touchdown. The extra point was made on a pass. Sanders had scored in the first pe riod when one of their guards block ed an attempted punt by Bell Street practically on tiheir own goal line. TWe ball was recovered in the end zone by Sanders for a touchdown. The try for extra point failed. To open the game, Bell Street Page Seven t S. C. Tax Take Nearly Double November '50 Columbia, Dec. 3—South Caro lina’s state revenues for November almost doubled those for the month a year ago. The State Tax Commission today reported $10,417,051 taken in last month, compared with $5,657,021 in November, 1950. Not all of the increase was from the new three per cent general re tail sales tax that began in July ^ —income, gasoline and beer and li- ^ quor tax receipts also advanced. But the sales tax accounted for $3,594,698 of the increase. * The income tax take advanced from $645,274 a year ago to $1,- 056,515 last month. The gasoline tax went up almost $522,000, to $3,- 260,250, and liquor and beer taxes brought in $250,000 more at $1,273,- 430. The year’s first five months found $47,861,642 in state coffers, compared with $31,986,468 last fis cal year for the corresponding pe riod. 9 Of this $15,900,000 increase, the sales tax accounted for $12,838,164 kicked to Sanders on their own 15- yard line. Driving the ball down to the 20, they failed to move further and Bell Street took over at that point. On the second play, a pass from Willie C. Moore, J. D. Williams took the ball 80 yards across the goal line, but a backfield-in-motion penalty was called, nullifying the score. Sanders had a similar play nullified in the fourth quarter. Bell Street had a third touchdown called back, ako in the fourth quarter, when Willie C. Moore intercepted a Sanders pass on the 8-yard line and stepped into the end zone. An offside penalty was called. Sanders had the better running at tack during the first half, but Coach Jesse F. Watts of Bell Street shifted his defense for the second half* and held the Laurens players to little gain. Robert Peake, Bell Street fullback and passer for the team, was selected by the Piedmont Athletic association this year as an all-conference play er. Other Bell Street players receiv ing honorable mention were Joel Moon, Floyd Walk, and Dqvid-Cope land.

Multiflora rose grows best in fertiTb soil and usually has a high survival rate. They should not be planted too close to trees in that they respond best to plenty of sunlight. One Multiflora rose is established as a living fence for livestock, the wire and post can be removed except for gate. It is suit able, too, for keeping cattle out of gullies, cover and food for wild life and prevents trespassing on property lines. Multiflora rose can be established by planting one year old seedling with good root system. The plant leaving from 2 to 3 inches with sev- should be cut off before planting, eral buds for new growth. The land should be broken at least 2 feet on each side of the plant so as to keep down weed competition. For fences these plants should j be spaced about 12 inches apart in ’ a single row, packing the soil firm ly around the roots. At planting I time use abou^ 1 pound of complete fertilizer for every 40 feet of row. i In the spring top dress with 1 lb. of nitrate of soda for every 40 feet ! and cultivate to keep down weed competition. Young plants must be protected frorn grazing. With the development of live stock farming the living fence seems to be the answer to the high cost of fencing with post and wire. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for the kindnesses shown us during the illness and death of our dear mother, Mrs. Lola Simpson. Also for the beautiful floral tributes. —GILLETTE, LEWIS and MASON SIMPSON. Farmers Plant Roses For 'Living' Fence The following farmers, M. S. Boyd, H. B. Harlon, E. P. Boaz- man, John T. Young, G. E. Brown. C. C. Herbert, Ralph Waldrep and Y. T. Singer received 20,000 Multi- flora Rose seedlings to demonstrate their value as a living fence. This is being done by the Soil Conser vation nurseries in cooperation with the Laurens County Soil Con servation District supervisors. Multiflora rose has been used in Laurens county for several years and is apparently a cheap way to establish a permanent living fence. It also furnishes cover for wild life and beauty to the farm. The Soil Conservation nurseries have been experimenting with the Multiflora Rose for the past 10 years for fencing and erosion con trol. It grows to the height of about 10 feet and does not spread from the rootstalk. It can be con trolled by grazing, cultivation, and WEDDING INVITATIONS ANNOUNCEMENTS CALLING CARDS - INFORMALS High quality engraving on the loveliest papers . . . styles to suit the most dis criminating.
