Rat Campaign Is Progressing Since announcing recently the in tention of holding a rat eradication campaign over Kershaw county January 21, much interest has been manifested, and indications are that the work will be a success. It should be remembered, however, by everyone in the county that the killing of these rats will not be effective unless everyone ih a community participates because a neighbor who does not kill rats on his place will only furnish rats* to replenish the places of his neighbors. Everyone who is interested in participating in this one-day campaign is urged to notify the county agent inf order that arrangements may be made for getting the proper amount of bait on hand.

Carl sat in front of the radio listening to it. He fell asleep. When lie awoke it was to find the radio knocked out of kilter, blood streaming down his face and part of his scalp and a few hairs fixed to the radio. He dreamed he was in a football game, and it was so realistic that he couldfi't resist taking a tackle at the music box.

FOOTBALL (By Tommy Hedgpath) The curtain has dropped on one of the most spectacular seasons of tHe gridiron sport. And 38 players, who developed their brilliance in various sectors of the state, liave been classified upon our all-state eleven, and second and third teams. The exploits of e^ch player has been closely comjvarcd and the eleven stalwarts to win berths on the allstate, we believe, cannot be beat. Consistency and capability form the nucleus of our picks. Seven teams have placed one or more players on these elevens. Chester places 11; "Camden 7; Thornwell, 7; Beaufort, 4; Greer, 2; Choraw, 2; and Johnson, 1. The selection.climaxed a season in which great teams rather than great individuals, scintillated. Yet there were a number ojf players who forced to the front with polished performances. These, of course, are'selected for the all-state which we give below, and the second and third teams. Quarterback. Fine support envied Thompson, of Camden, a resourceful and versatile back, to emerge as one of the season's few dominating individuals. Ho is one of the ablest field generals since the one and only W jS. Martin matriculated two years ago. He does everything, punts, passes, stellar broken-field runner and he is the unanimous choice To do the quarter backing for the 1932 class B eleven. Halfbacks. Thompson's closest rival for superb all-round play, is Harry I,et?. He had his greatest season with unusual performances in his last three games. Lee has no premier in the gentle art | of punting. His fleet broken-field running rivals that of Thompson. Another triple-threat star was the colorful Thompson, of Cheraw, a a powerful runner and a great defensive star. He makes a fine running mate for Lee. Fullbacks. This position is always hard to fill. Garland of Thornwell can smash a line, block and' tackle like' nobody's business. He is picked over Brown, Morrison, or Lee, of Beaufort, Chester and Greer. Ends. Wingmen have been conspicuous by their scarcity in their consistent clear-cut achievements. Jordan, of Thorhwell, was one of the best ends to be seen here in several years. He was the captain of ' the Thornwell boys. He has no peer in his knack of smearing ball-carriers from behind, a specialist in pass-catching, but a finer defensive player. Returning punts with this lad around was wellnigh impossible. Hienamen, a big, rangy player1 from Johnston, was skillful in diving past interference to down the runnerf He was to be feared as a pass receiver, and hounded punt receivers and tackled viciously. Tackles. We do not have to look far in cur choice to fill these positions. Both Gregory and Cornwell, big, speedy and powerful made enviable records last year, bpt this season there seemed to be a rivalry betweon them as they punched the opponents forwards out of the'way offensively and defensively would break through and side by side race to block a punt or with tenaciousness of the bulldog variety tackle a ball-toter simultaneously. They stand head/ and shoulders above other ranking tackles, such as Lesesne, of Thornwell; Johnson, of Cheraw; Burns, of Camden, and Bazemoor, of Beaufort. Guards and Center. The center trio, as the present version is of these three positions, are all important in a modern game that calls for ability, speed and blocking by the guards, plus a rare defensive skill attributed to a roving center. G. Beeman, of Thornwell, was one of the flashiest guards to perform, a great defensive player. To pick a running mate for Beman, comes the choice of Grant, of Chester, with his ; added weight and-drive. A consistent, untiring guard. Ramsey played the best game of his career against Camden. lie has not been consistent. Jackson for Camden, was the key man of a light but gilt-edjfed lino.He gets the call above Gladden or Porter for Chester. Gladden saw more action than Porter, the 1931 veteran, and the former can leave with an unblemished record as a pivot man. As a climax we do not wish to pass up some remarks about Cassels, a light, speedy runner, a veritable ball of dynamite, Hopper was a versatile runner, an excellent blocker. Nunnery from the begining of the season had his end cinched and played brilliantly. Weir joined the sensational ranks because of his nifty pass-receiving acts at critical moments. He will have a gTeat seasont next. Weir caught the public eye, but Nunnery went through the season in distinctive manner. ALL-STATE Name " Sehwl' " Position Jordan, Thornwell ? .

Kershaw Loses Leading Citizen Thoni&H Jefferson Gregory, 6G, f' leading Kershaw merchant and citizen, died at 2:80 yesterday afternoon at the South Carolina ltaptist hospital following an illness of approximately three weeks. Mr. Gregory was born January 10, 187G, at Taxahaw, Lancaster county, and moved to Kershaw in 1888. His entire life, thereafter, was spent in his native county. He was a Mason and a devoted member of the Kershaw Baptist church and took an active part in the business and social life of his Community. Mr. Gregory was always highly interested in the welfare of the people of his community. He served as chairman of the board of trustees of the Kershaw public schools for a number of years and in many ways worked to the bettermeht of the educational system of the county. tVAt the time of his death he was part owner and manager of the Kershaw Mercantile and Banking company, j one of the oldest firms of the town. (Surviving him are his widow, the former Miss Alice Bird, of Kershaw; five sons, Ralph Gregory, T, J. Gregory, Jr., Woodrow Gregory, all of Kershaw, and Dr. H. L. Gregory, of Columbia; six daughters, Mrs. Louis [ Truesdalo, Mrs. D. M. Gibbons, Mrs. L. C. Thornton, Mrs. Crenshaw, Miss Connie Gregory and Miss Abigail Gregory, all of Kershaw. He aiso leaves a number of grandchildren. Mr. Gregory was a man of many fine traits of ^character and leaves numerous friends who will be greatly grieved by the news of his death. The seriousness of his condition was realized several days ago and members of his family were at his bedside when, the end came.?Saturday's Columbia State. ^The senate has referred back to its judiciary committee the Glass 18th amendment .repeal resolution and substituting a ban against the saloon. The ^resolution proposes to repeal the amendment and substitute a provision in the constitution making it illegal to sell liquor in saloons, but permitting its sal# in hotels and restaurants. It would also provide for protection of dry states from the invasion of liquor from wet commonwealths. ; Under the gentle persuasion of the police all but a few of the self-styled "hunger marchers" left Washington Wednesday in trucks and automobiles for their homes all over the country. They accomplished little or nothing by their pilgrimage to the nation's capital. ?
