won the game and that's that.
Grainger Korneguy and yours truly
wandered down the main drag between
DeKnlJj and Itutledge streets
the other afternoon and took a count
on the automobiles parked along each
side of the road. In that time <we
found only a very few cars that were
owned by shoppers. The rest belonged
to the business men or clerks in
their employ.
Tlsn't any of my business but it
does seem to me that it would be a |
swelligant idea If the business men
got together and agreed to par^c their
cars and the cars of their employees
some other place other than in front
of their places of business. It would
at least give shoppers a chance to
park their cars near the store they
wish to shop at.
*
Do my ears burn and is my face
red. Gosh, but I hope that the city
dads will put a ban on that center
parking on DeKalb street before the
big movement starts for the motorIsts
headin* south. A business man
front Pennsylvania stopped in to tell
me what he thought of our center
parking idea and ended up with a
vivid and colorful opinion of our own
home town.
Congratulations to Barney Young.
Barney received his check from the
Carolina Motor club at Charlotte this
week to cover what was due him as
a result of his recent auto crash.

Hem the barrage of hits
that soared from the Sox bats. But
in vain. One of the largest crowds
to gather at a. softball game this season
saw the Anal battle.
A superb loyal band of "dames" representing
the Junior league group,
rooted loyally for the Wolves but
rtheir pleas tpj'get a hit," "get a run,"
'etc., produced no results. Manager
Mays of the Sox was the special target
of the feminine rooters and when
Percy stepped to the plate in the sixth
inning the fair sex began to chant
"easy man," "easy man," "easy man."
When Percy larroped the ball for a
triple, one of the gentler sex who was
a Sox rooter shrieked, "what a man,
what a mah, what a man."
Immediately after the game was
ftYer, the Sox team gathered in the
center of the diamond and gave the
vanguished Wolves a series of cheers.
The Wolves on the field responded
with whistles and cheers.
Interest in the city series was at
a high, point in both games and as a
result .large crowds packed the side
lines. Laurens, ?alr and Lyttleton
dtreets were Jammed with cars parked
on each side of the thoroughfares
while ip the remote right and left
fields were more cars.
Basil Bruce, acting captain of the
Wolves paid a fine tribute to the
gameness of his team, but said, "the
Sox were hot, they were an unbeatabfe
combination the way they were
playing. They had a powerful hitting
aggregation and their defensive work
was splendid. It is fine that Percy
Mays. should captain the title team
for if there is any individual in the
league personnel who has given time
and attentfon to the success of the
first season of the softball program
it was Percy."

FRIED CHICKEN FEAST
(By the Town Crier)
Well friends and fellow townspeople.
those who did not sit In on that
fried chicken victory feast that Percy
Mays. John Laney and Dewey Creed
staged for the champion Esso White
Sox at the Wooten tea room, missed
a lot in swelligant food and also some
musical and rhetorical outbursts.
Fr6m the time that Toastmaster
Creed solemnly announced, "Gentlemen,
be cheated?beg pardon?I mean,
seated," until the last plaintive notes
of Percy Mays dulcet tenor voice In
that grand old ballad "The Curse of
an Aching Heart." echoed down the
rain-swept vista of DdKalb street, it
was a riot of fun.
Anytime anyone tells you that Dewey
Creed isn't the world's best raconteur
(look it up in the dictionary),
has another guess' coming. Dewey's
shafts of wit and satire were aimed
With unerring accuracy and resulted
dn a lot of good natured merriment.
Screw-ball Hasty delighted with a'
touching bass solo "Asleep With the
Sheep," meaning, as he explained "the
Wolves." Hasty's number was given
much color by the drum stick that
the basso-profundo waved majestically
in the air. Micky Mouse Shirley
kept an apprehensive eye on Hapty's
waving flst and when reproved by
Toastmaster Creed, the diminutive
member of the squad murmured something
to the effect that he expected
Hasty to , forget he was whirling' S |
chicken hoof and let loose an out-1
curve, and he (Shirley) Just didn't
want to be in line with the homeplate.
V
Claude Jdckson gave a stirring recitation,
offering a parody on Casey at
the Bat, but instead of Casey he had
another gent by the name of Jack.
Which reminded the town crier to sarcastically
mumble . something like
three base hit, three scores and a
ball game."
Morris Myers gave an interesting
talk on the subject, "Lost But Not
Forgotten, the subject matter being
a V-8, which we are happy to say is
back in the family circle once again.
One Mr. Simpson demonstrated his
speaking ability m a few well chosen
words in which he expressed the appreciation
of the entire team for the
courtesy and cooperation shown by
the management during the season.
The town crier and the official sdorer,
guests at the gathering, each gave pep
talks and Toastmaster Dewey Creed
wound up the evening's ftjn with a
splendid tribute to the bureau of reoreation
and urged all of the White
Sox players to got back of the winter
program and to keep fit for the softball
struggle next year.
Messrs. Clarkson Rhame and Jack

squad, chanced by \he tea room, and

SHERIFF OF KERSHAW COUNTY.
Man Charged With
Passing Bad Bills
J it. Thomas, well known Colleton
citizen, saw mill operator, was placed
under arrest. last Saturday in a local
bank by Sheriff 11. L. Rhodes, charged
with having passed several hundred
dollura of couuterflt $20 hills, lie was
taken to Charleston by federal officers
for a hearing Monday and was
sent to the Orangeburg jail, his bond
being fixed at $2,000. Efforts are being
made to secure this bond, and it
is thoughi lie will got it shortly.
The discovery of these spurious
hills was made hy A. F. Henderson,
Jr., at the Farmers and Merchants
Hank. H is reported that he had recently
r< ad an article by an authority
on how to detect counteifeit money
and he applied Ills knowledge to u
hatch of $:>00 of these $20 hills which
(ume in as u deposit from the Western
Union Telegraph office. It was decided
that they were not proper bills.
Upon investigation, It was found
that J. II. Thomas had paid for u telegraph
money order with them./ Later
it was found* that a cashier's check
for a similar amount hud been puichased
witli more of the sainu issue ut
the Hank of Walterboro. Others of
the bills were passed to meet his payroll
and to pay accounts at several
places in (own.. Tills morning comes
news that $iet) of these hills had been
used to pay u mortgage to the Federal
Land Hank district office at Walterboro
by a Hampton county farmer.
Mr. Thomas contended that he was
ignorant of the fact that these Dills
were counterfeit, but that he had received
them from a man who redeemed
a diamond bracelet on which he
hud advanced money several years ago
in the amount of $1,200. Federal officers
came on here from Atlanta, and
these kept in constant touch with
headquarters in Washington, It is reported,
in an effort to get the men
higher up, who iiad supplied this money
to Mr. Thomas. The bracelet story
was not accepted by them, It is Bald.
The banks report that they cannot
j pass $20 hills to the^' customers now,
and everyone is most particular when
a bill of that denomination is offered.

Farmers' Calendar
For September Jobs
Clemson, Sept. 6?-Busy farmers are
reminded that they cannot afford to
neglect the many important Jobs needing
attention this month1, say extension
specialists, making these suggestions:

peas to 'grow your next year's fertilizer.
Quality in ginned cotton will
pay; pick clean, store dry, gin carefully,
and top your market. There is
phosphorus and potash left in your
cotton fields; plant oats and make
use of it.
Horticulture ? Keep strawberry
beds free of weeds and grass. Set
some selected new plants. Plant spinach
seed in late September for winter
and spring use. Sow turnips up
to September 20, Japanese foliage and
Seventop for greens, and White Egg
for roots. Keep fall garden crops
well cultivated and fertilized. Sow
seed late In September for "frostproof"
cabbage plants.
Agricultural Engineering?It Is not
too late to build a trench silo. Clean,
oil, and store cultivating machinery.
Get mower and rake In good condition
for cutting hay crops. If rat-proof
grain storage buildings are needed,
get plans through county agent's office.
Insects and Diseases?Clean out the
grain bins before harvest and be prepared
to fumigate to kill grain insects.
Plow under tobacco stalks and
other crop refuse to destroy food and
Immature stages of Insects. Remove
dead and dying orchard trees and
limbs and burn them to control insects.
Knock off all diseased fruits
after harvest to aid In disease control.
