{ "But we do not want to be considered
as a political friend of Mr. Martin's,"
says the Bamberg Herald.
Your alibi is accepted.?Anderson
Daily Mail.
We might add that The Herald is
just as far from supporting the Mail's
candidate, Senator Latimer, as it is
Mr. Martin. In fact, between the
twp, we would take Martin, for we
candidly believe he has a great deal
more sense and honesty than Latimer.
But we are not committed to anybody,
and will wait developements.
The Greenwood Journal has installed
a linotype machine, and the

machine at an early date. These are
the first weekly newspapers in the
State to put in linotypes. Several

Journal and Index are the first weeklies
to have the necessary nerve to
put in type-setting machines. We
congratulate these contemporaries,
and hope to follow their example in

i number of our citizens start a movement
to change the location, such a
proposition will have our hearty support.
Suppose it does take money, 1
gfo it is better to make the change now
than to have our educational interests
suffer. We must look to the
greatest good to the greatest number,
and if the building is at present
inconveniently located for a majority
? of the pupils and patrons, it should
be moved to a more central part of
the town, provided a suitable site
can be secured. What we want to
do in Bamberg is to forget our personal
interests and look solely to the
good of the community generally.

Last Friday ended the second
school month of the present session.
The following pupils have been present
every day: Grace Moore, Earle
Jones, Genie Ramsey, Louise Westerlund,
Daisy Westerlund, Mamie Ehrhardt,
Robbie Hughes, Leon Ramsey,
Harry Copeland.
The subject for Monday morning
talks for the third month is kindness.
The trustees have insured the
school building for $800 at a cost of
$24, which amount pays for the incnranr?P
fnr tVirpp vears. This is
good business judgment. School
buildings frequently burn. It is better
to have fire insurance and not
need it, than to need it and not have
any insurance.
Thirty-five friends of the school
have joined the Larkins' club, pledging
themselves to take the $20 worth
of household supplies that have already
been ordered. The primary
room will get a drum for their premium,
and the advanced pupils have
selected a large dictionary. We desire
to thank all the members of this
club who are thus making it possible
for the school to procure this needed
equipment without resorting to the
unpleasant task of begging. Each
member will get full value for every
cent subscribed. We desire to state,
however, that the supplies will come
by freight, awd as freight travels
very slowly at this season of the
year, it may be three weeks or a
month before your order is delivered,
so don't become impatient.

FOOTBALJJOPICS,

In Number.
The results of football games this
season have practically ended forever
the practice of attempting to forecast
the outcome of contests, according to
comparative scores. It has always
been difficult in football to figure the
strength of teams ^n a comparative
score basis, but not within the knowi

year been marked by so many startling
reversals as the present one.
According to some of the scores this
year, a team that has been beaten by
n aMwnri rate eleven is Inst as ant as
not to turn around and wallop an unbeaten
team that the critics hare
boomed as the greatest gridiron machine
in all history. v
Presumably there is only one way to
be sure of betting on the winning
team nowadays, and that is to bet on
the eleven that will make the highest
score.

Then some one invented torpedo boat

submarines that could destroy
torpedo boat destroyers. And probably
some one is now working on a craft
that will destroy the submarines that

that destroy the torpedo boats that destroy
the big battleships. \
In football various teams perfected
the forward pass. Then Princeton devised
a scheme that destroyed the ef,

by the Carlisle Indian game.
Then Yale perfected a system of play

Truly warfare on the sea or on the

Field goals are more numerous this
year than for several seasons past
Hardly an important gridiron game
has occurred in which field goals did
not figure in the score.

THE ROUNDUP COLUMN.
Willis West Tells How Kid McCoy
Has Turned Detective.
Mr. Norman Selby, known also as
Kid McCoy, who has been a captain
or better In the pugilistic, jewelry,
real estate, rathskeller and automobile
Industries, has gone into the Sherlock
Holmes business.
With Frank Peabodv. a former lieutenant
of police, as his partner he has
opened an office on the second floor of

will retail plain and fancy shadowing.

other goods usually dealt in by detective
agencies.
0>e class of business will be neither
solicited nor accepted. All the wealth
of the Indies will not be sufficient to
lure either Mr. Selby or Mr. Peabody
into professional participation in a divorce
case. As Mr. Peabody said the
other day:
"We have had plenty, thank you."
Mr. Selby as a private citizen has
k had all the divorc? experience he can
use, while Mr. Peabody lost his position
in the police department because
of revelations concerning his activity
In the Howard Gould divorce case.
None of the names of Mr. Selby appears
upon the frosted glass doors of
the agency.
"Norman doesn't like to use his name
officially,'" Mr. Peabody explained, "but
you know that a man can't be a detec
tive long without somebody finding It
out" , >
The Kid should excel in the matter
of disguises. It is recalled that once
upon a time, when Mr. Selby was appearing
in a western state in a professional
capacity?to wit as a pugilisthe
escaped from the rural constabulary
who were intent upon arresting
him. He smeared his countenance
with burnt cork, and thus disguised as
a negro he passed peacefully on his
way.
^Xange, the Annapolis Naval academy
quarterback, has surprised the navy
coaches and players by his fine work.
Lange has not only showed that he
could lift a goal from the field, but his
handling of the ball in the back field is
as good as has been seen at the academy
in some time. Lange played baseball
on the academy nine and began to
show some ability as a football player

"The Right of Way" and a
Crothers Drama.
COMING OF MRS. PATRICK."
Outline of the Drama by the Talented
Author of "The Three of Us"?Mrs.
Patrick Is "Human 8unshine," as

the leading role.
As in her great success, "The Three
of Us," Rachel Crothers has made the
dominating factor in her new drama,
"The Coming of Mrs. Patrick," which
reopened the Madison Square theater
recently, the persuasive personality of
a wholesome woman. Last year it was
mvy ui
GUY STANDING.
a young American girl struggling to
make both ends meet In the west This
season she takes the shape of a trained
nurse. vThe
joy of living is what Mrs. Patrick
represents, and as played by Laura
Nelson Hall this emotion splendidly
sways the character. There are a wholesomeness,
a breadth*of style and, a
sympathetic quality in the acting of
Miss Hall that make her an ideal selection
for this particular role.
Planted In the midst of a cantankerous
and brooding family, the mother
of which lies an invalid upstairs and
the father of which is not much more
than a parcel of bones, Mrs. Patrick
shakes up the fire in the first act,
shoves a cushion in the small of the
masculine parent's back and starts in
generally not only to bring order out
of chaos, but sunshine out of the depth
of melancholy.
She has much to contend with. Mother
and father have already been mentioned.
Son Is a weakmlnded, highball
drinking youth, and daughter is a'
hysterica] matinee girl, who will probohHr
hA all rlffht when she grows UP.
Then there Is Dudley Birmingham, a
polished villain with Inky black hair,
who, before the action of -the play
begins, has rained Mrs. Patrick's
friend, Miss Chrlssy Heath, disclosed
in the third act as weak and Inane
enough for any man to twirl around
his finger with the utmost speed limit
Others' are Pauline Shank, a coarse
and vulgar young lady who .talks loud
and long without saying anyt]iing; Maria,
an Irish servant who chatters In
the same vacuous vein, and Eleanor
Lawton, the daughter of the family,
so suspicious of everything and everybody
that one almost fears she suspects
herself. '
It may be readily surmised, therefore,
that the coming of Mrs. Patrick Is a
welcome relief both to the personages
In the cast as well as in the audience.
She is like a brass band on a desert
island or an electric light in a coal bin
?unique and wearing "Welcome" writ
in large letters at every point of vantage.
