Barnwell and Lexington fought to a scoreless tie here Thursday after noon in a hectic game that ended with the ball almost over the visitors’ goal line. Lexington looked better than Barnwell during most «f the 4rat half and gained more ground, only to be held in the pinches or lose the ball on fumbles. The two teams fought on even terms during the third quarter, neither side being able to gain. Near the close of the second half, however, with the ball in their own territory, the locals launched an attack that put the ball on Lexington’s three-yard line, first down and goal to go. On the first play W. Sanders was thrown for a 10-yard loss on an attempted end run. This was immediately Re gained by Hair, who was stopped in his tracks on the third play. Before the teams could line up for another play, the final whistle blew. Lexington played a jam-up game all around with the exception of part of the fourth quarter. The Birt twins and Hair played best for Barnwell. The strong Fairfax eleven will fur nish the opposition for Barnwell on the local field tomorrow (Friday) af- The Williston-Elko team Interest on Old Debt Runs Into Big Money Aiken Man Figures That Basil Bate a Owes $95.25 Interest on 75c Liquor Purchase. miH 1 v In a recent issue of this paper was published the account of a man living at Elko who went to Blackville and paid a debt of 75 cents for a gallon of liquor which 7 had been standing for 63 years. L. W, Boykin, of Aiken, one of our readers, contends that although the is most unusual, the debt has not bfgen discharged. Mr. Boykin has ta ken pencil and paper and figured it out that Basil Bates, the Elko man, owes $96, figuring the 75 cents debt at eight per cent, compounded annually. Having paid the 75 cents principal, the interest debt is still $95.25. This merely goes to show how in terest accumulates—and it will accu mulate on savings as well as on a debt. —Aiken Standard. followed by the report of the com- H. L.
