Friday, November 23, 1934 OUK FOOT HALL TEAM AN ASSET .Beginning the season very inauspiciously our High Bchool football team, under the leadership and tutelage of John Villepigue, has forged to the front "end, as usual, covered itself with glory. A light and inexperienced team, Mr. I Villepigue pitted them it first j of the season against stforit !&1*m A teams, we assume, for the purpose of toughening them, and if thai was his purpose it seems that ixe saciMdr ed admirubly, for they have mowed down all opposition among the, Class B teams for the lower half of the state, and now are in position to play the upper state winner for the state championship. Garden is Justly proud of thf^i sturdy, clean-limbed and clean v ed young men who make upJ/?*, . J ^Hch0oI foot) *j\ squad. Th#^a are every one of theftMtafd, clean fighters in there lighting every second of the game, always alert and never letting up until the final whistle blows. It is impossible to build a first class football team out of high school boys without building chaVacter nt the same time. Camden will never be able to pay the debt it owes to John Villepigue, J. Gardiner Richards, Jr., and Blake Zemp. IS NRA ON ITS LAST LEGS? In the Industrial News Review I read: "Just about everybody who is able to road knows something of the drastic changes in NRA set-up and policy that have been taking place for some months. Price-fixing has been dropped in many codes; business is being given more power over its own affairs; the era of iron-hand industrial dictatorship is apparently <^>ming to an end." . There may be drastic changes in the NRA set-up, but no relief for the business man who is compelled to pay men $10,000-a-yoar salaries to "administer the Code." Also there are innumerable underlings who draw down "salaries and expenses" of $15 a day. > If any business has benefited by the payment of large amounts to .support Rcgnional Code Authorities I have been unable to find them. The truth of the matter is most business men are disgusted because of so-called "Administrator Managers" who in no manner serve any good purpose. Actually, is any business living up to the Code? First off The Enquirer "to get on the Code" was asked to pay $25 for "The Franklin (Price List," and the requirement was that job printing prices were to be boosted 75 to 100 per cent. This we did not do because it would have been unjust and would work a hardship upon our customers. Later this order was rescinded. Men and brethren, I believe the great majority of you will agree with me when I say the NRA, as today administered serves miost in giving a small army of men good salaries. And few fellows who suck the public : pap over die and none resign. It's just too bad that we must put up with a had condition that now obtains ; for the next two years or more. Later I'll toll you farmers what it's all about in your cotton reduction progra m.? Monroe Enquiror. THE GREAT FALLS TEAM The Great Falls High School eleven, which won- the Up-State Class lb ' football championship Friday afternoon by overwhelming the strong Saluda team, has piled up a remarkable record for the year, and its chance of capturing the State title in the game to be played with Camden appears bright, indeed. The foot-1 ball fans of Chester hope to eee the Great Falls boys win this great hon-1 or, and will be rooting for them.? Chester Reporter.

Cancellation of Stamps to Halt Counterfeiting When postage stamps were first Introduced precaution was taken to prevent counterfeiting and re-use of canceled stamp*, observes a writer in the Los Angeles Times. The first stamp, the penny black of Grout Britain, w*u? engraved with different combinations of letters In the corners of every stump on the plate. A watermark was 'Impressed In the paper, to fall on each stamp. To prevent re-use the stamps were canceled with a heavy ink, often In color. Early United States stamps were not made with the letter system of protection, nor were they water-marked until 1895. Colored Inks were frequently used for .canceling, but usually because of the supply on hand. Many of the smaller offices were not supplied with cancelers, so the postmark and cancellation were applied with pen and Ink. Tt was so euay to remove this cancellation that loss through re-use was soon heavy. Numerous schemes and Inventlona for defacing our stamps were patented In the period from 1800 to 1800. Foremost among fheae Is the grille, which was applied to our stamps from 1907 to 1870 (and a few later). This device consisted of rows of small square pyramids in parallel rows embossed Into the paper, breaking the fiber of the paper so that the canceling Ink would soak In. Peru also adopted this precaution on some of her stamps, ________ *,r i Rtliei Found In Palootine All that remains of an Egyptian tewn which flourished mors than 8,000 years ago, on a sits near the present city of Tel Aviv, Palestine, art a heart-shaped scarab, the sacred beetle of ancient Egypt, a fragment of an Egyptian seal U9ed on a papyrus document and a few bronzo and flint Implements. The large stone scarab, which bears a hieroglyphic Inscription of a passage from the "Book of the Dead." Is the first of Its kind to be found In Palestine. It was placed over the heart of a mummy and Is believed to have come from the tomb of some Egyptian official. States Had Presidents Chlof executives of Delaware, New Hampshire and South Carolina wore known na presidents under their flrst constitutions. South Carolina changed the title to governor In 1778 and Delaware and New Hampshire followed suit In 1792. A chairman of the Tennsylvanla exocutlve council was addressed oa president from 1776 until 1784. Texas was an Independent Republic with a president at it* head when admitted to the Union In 1846.?

In order to he classed as a felony an net for which a person la arrested must carry a charge of more cthan one year. It Is for this reason that so many Aentenoes consist of "a year and a day," the minimum sentence for such an offense. A person convicted of a felony can not hold federal office except by Executive clemency. Sparrows There are a good many varieties of native sparrow that were here before the white man came.

General News Notes Senator Vandervberg, Republican, recently re-elected to the senate from Michigan, suggests that James J. Farley either resign his postmaster generalship or as chairman of the Democratic national committee, and further that his recent appeal for half a billion dollars to wipe out a Democratic party deficit 13 "absolutely incompati-' . ble" as long as he holds two jobs, and possibly a violation of law.
