" i.. ~ a Coming of Plant Brings New Cheer! . .. I inito announcement that the Meade Jobnsor)<<?ompany of Kvuns-j v,lle'> largest manufacturer of| child's food material in . the world, I was coming to South Carolina to establish a largo soup factory, was' hailed with delight generally yesterday by Columbians. The announcement, coming close on! the heels of the announcement of the! plans of the Borden Milk company' for the establishment of a milk dry-! ing plant at Newberry, brought new hope to men and women interested in one way or another in agriculture. It convinced them, anew of thejnterest large producers of manufactured food products are'taking in South Carolina grown products, and was held as an index of what may be expected to tftko place when' other manufacturers see what these two have done, v ,. * - The Meade' Johnson company manufactures ?3 products and is a concern of wide and established reputation. It was attracted to South' Carolina Through the Natural Resour-1 ces commission of which Dr. William! Weston of Qolumbia is managing director. When it was convinced that! the claim of high iodine content in South Carolina Truits and vegetables was soundly grounded, it came to a decision to establish a factory in this' state. c Through advertisements of its products, the fame of South Carolina grown foods will be widely spread and other industries will naturally become interested. The announcement brought forth ! many expressions of gratification at the recognition of the work of the resources commission.?The State. | - Road Patrolman "Fired" Columbia, Oct. 11.?A. A. Lawson, had a notice today discharging him sw a member of the state highway patrol on the grounds "he summoned to big aid outside citizens in an ordinary traffic case and used his pistol in such a case." The former patrolman, C. C. Carter, Ridgeland police, officer, and two civilians they called in to aid them are under charges of assault and battery in connection with the alleged firing on an automobile at Ridgeland a week ago. Parents-Teachers Meet at DeKalb The first meeting of the ParentTeacher association for this year was held at 8 o'clock last Thursday evening in the fci&h school building. Since the affair was to be primarily social, only a few minutes were concumed in the transaction of business. The members first assembled in the auditorium. Mrs. Clarkson, the president, tried especially to impress upon ??-rnaln. rthioctivas J*Of. the year, which are ?the beautifying of the school grounds, and the improving of the library. Several of the "good, < old-time" songs were sung and enjoyed, after which everyone adjourned to the hall where the chairman of the social committee gave instructions concerning a honeymoon race whose participants afforded much amusement to the onlookers. Other games were also enjoyed. The affair culminated in the serv-i ing of refreshments which consisted of sandwiches, cake and hot choco-, late, while the members, more than sixty in number, enjoyed an entirely social hour. Telephones Crippled by Squirrels Bite Manager Arthur Hough, of the Southern Bell system in Camden was exhibiting this week a small section of lead, cable that had been cut into by the constant nibbling of squirrels. It had been cut to the wires encased in the cable and formed a hollow allowing the tain of last Friday afternoon to Map through and caused more than one hundred and twenty { fdenl^ telephones to be put The section damaged was on north Fair street, in front of the residence, of M*v B. O. Sanders. Mr. Hough tells Ug that in the past few years theeftVrodents in Camden have cost his company thousands of dollars. Recently linemen went all over the cable system and put on a coat of paint "thinking this might stop them. He pays he knows of no remedy for this destruction unless the city issues an Order^for killing the squirrels u4^khfere Said ^to be numerous in ?V - , .jL -x, ; St. Louis Winner . of World Series Sportsman's "Park, St. Louis, Oct. 10.?-In a finish that alternated thrills and chills for the home forces, the "Cardinals recaptured the world baseball championship today, bringing it back to thd National Icuguc and St. Louis ufter a lapse of five years. 1 he National Icuguc champions, in a spirited comeback, conquered their nemesis, George Karnshaw, and whipped the Athletics, Mo 2, in the seventh and deciding game of the prolonged battle. It gave the Cardinals the decision, four games to three, duplicating their (margin of triumph over the Yankees in 1920, It ended the American league's streak of world series triumps at four straight; blasted Connie Mack's! dream of a record string of three, conquests; brought the game's high-1 est honors to their grizzled pilot, ' Charles (Gatyby) Street, at the close! of his second big league managerial! year, and, for themselves, clinched1 the .winners' share, amounting to j $4,4*84 per man. Right Fielder; George Watkins' home run drive off! Larnshaw was worth just about $45,-1 000, representing the aggregate dif? j ference between the winners' and loosers' share of the financial spoils. It had looked earlier in the game as just an extra measure of triumph over the great right-hander, but as it turned out it was the decisive | stroke in furnishing the margin of victory. The scries closed as the first million dollar baseball big show in five years. The receipts for seven games totaled $1,030,723. The final turnout of only 20,805 cash customers, however, was the smallest in about tyenty years, as was the "gate" of only $82,1(JJ). It was particularly surprising as Sportsman's park had been filled almost to its capacity of 40,000 for the sixth game yesterday, in which the Athletics squared the series with a one-sided victory. Man Badly Hurt In Auto Wreck William C. Johnson, aged about 35, a former driver for the Southeastern Express company in this city and at present employed by the state highway department, was badly injured Tate Saturday night when his car turned over and crushed him. .Mr. Johnson was driving south on Lyttleton street and attempted to turn left on Laurens street when the light roadster he was driving turned completely over and around and righted itself on the opposite side of the curbing. Mr. Johnson was hurt about the face and chest and it was at first thought he was fatally injured. He was rushed to'the Camden hospital where it is said he has a chance for 'recovery. Mr. Johnson was in a /\reck several months ago in whion he suffered a badly broken ar mand had only recently recovered ; from that accident. L.... ^r,,.ai,, _ j Trainman Killed" In Auto Crash Crashing into the rear" of a cify truck in a light coupe, J. M. Jackson, conductor on the Atlantic Coast Line railway, was fatally injured at about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning oil the 1300 block of Main street in front of the Ritz theatre. Mr. Jackson died soon after being admitted to the Columbia hospital. S. D. Pendergrass, driver of the coupe received several bruises anil cuts about the face. His injuries are not considered serious. Pendergrass is a fireman on Train No. 800, of which Jackson was conductor. The accident occurred, Mr. Pendergrass stated, as they were returning hopie from a run. All the glasses were up on the car on account of the cool weather. Lights re? fleeting on the glass blinded him, he declared, and he did not see the truck until the crash. Jackson's head struck the wind-1 shield inflicting a mortal wound. He lost much blood while being carried to the hospital in an ambulance. Pendergrass was admitted to the hospital temporarily. The car was very badly damaged but did not turn over. Mr. Jackson is survived by his widow, the former Miss Emma Leviner of Florence.?Wednesdays Record.

Ada Suinmey, naturally, was given 1 first prize among the derby female*, t The races this morning, although' somewhat disappointing to the spec-1 tutors, furnished the judges with op-j portunity for doing some satisfactory scoring. One judge, C. M. Brice, of ( harlotte, said he got the best scores he had even made at a field trial. The night winds of the past few (lays or nights*?and the extremely dry weather have made fox hunting a poor pastime. Foxes would be jumped but the dogs would be unable to trail them far, although some good running was done out of sight of the majority of the followers of the c-haso. Most of this running took place beyond a creek, over which the judges bad to swim their horses. Only Mr. Brice and the master of fox hounds, Kirby Tupper, of Camden, who got his start racing a lanky black pony, Dan, up and down Greenhill street in Charleston during the early years of the 20th century, got across this creek, it is said. Mr. Tupper also gave his companion a fright at a barbed wire fence. | He dismounted and stepped on the wires to hold them down and led his horse across, The animal stepped into the wire which wrapped around its hoof, became frightened and lunged forward, throwing the huntsman into the entanglement, then whirled and tore back, through the fence on the far side of a post. Fortunately Mr. Tupper was not seriously hurt, though the horse suffered some scratches from the wire, k -Winners in the all-age class, which started this morning, will not be calculated till after tne running tomorrow morning.
