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.

Of Glory Ruined
Denver, Dec. 11.?We'd hate to
have been the players opposing1 jCarl
Hobart, West High School football
player, if he had been in a real game.
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.

entire life, thereafter, was spent in
his native county. He was a Mason

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

for their homes all over the country.
They accomplished little or nothing
by their pilgrimage to the nation's

here next Friday for the
slaving of E. Hart Williams, Sumter

granted him one new trial but recently
refused him another.
