The McCormick Girls’ Basket Ball team defeated the Ninety-Six team at Ninety-Six Friday, January 3rd, in a fast and interesting gam6. The score was 29 to 26. This makes the third consecutive game that McCormick Basket .Ball girls have won this year. Ninety-Six led McCormick in scores through the first half. Although Ninety-Six fought stubbornly, McCormick girls returned to the game in the last half with stronger determination to win. The victory was won for McCormick girls by their hard work, team play, and endurance. This was an unusually clean game, although' both teams made fouls. Ninety-Six made a few more fouls than McCormick, which fact helped roll up McCormick’s score. If Nine ty-Six eliminates her personal foul ing she will be a much stronger com petitor for McCormick in the next game which will be played in Mc Cormick on February 10th. Each member of the team contrib uted much to the winning of the game through team work. To name the stars would be to mention each member of the team. The McCormick girls deserve much praise, and merit the support of the student body and the community.

QUALITY A T LOW C O T -txt- Million Saved By Cotton Bags ••BEADING.” A person should lead at least fif- Declaring that it was meeting with much encouragement in its efforts to have users of cement specify that it should be shipped in cotton bags and thus remove a substantial block of cotton from the market each year for that purpose, the Cotton Pro duct Extension committee of South Carolina Monday made public a state ment by Thaddeus Merriman, chief engineer of the New York board of water supply in which he says that more than a million dollars wr.s sav ed the city of New York in "he con struction of the Catskill wat": works through the use of cotton hr n. Mr. Merriman, who was C engi neer in charge of the con t uction of this project which cost r.' re than the construction of the Par,.::iri can al, it is claimed, figures that the utilization of cotton bags f r the transportation of the cemei t for the building of the waterworks actually saved the city of New York the sura of .$1,020,719. “The records of the cor -, ruction of the Catskill water work says Mr. Merriman’s statement, “show that 7,882,000 barrels of cement were used. As there are four sacks to the barrel, this meant that 31,528,000 sacks were needed to carry the .ce ment to the scene of operations. If ! ton bags which were used made eight trips. It, therefore, required only, 3,941,000 cotton sacks, worth $120 a 1 thousand, which cut the cost for the bags to $472,920. It cost $3 per thousand for labor, drayage and ( freight to collect, clean and ship ’ these bags back to the cement mill. At the rate of $21 per thousand, the 1 total return expense amounted to $82,761. To this is added the first cost of the 3,941,000 cotton bags, which made the total package cost $555,681 against $1,576,400 for the one-trip bags. And, besides, the one- trip bags, if they had been used, would have cost money to collect and burn on the job. By deducting $555,- 681 from $1,576,400, it is clear that $1,020,719 was saved.” The Cotton Products Extension committee in making public Mr.; Merriman’s statement declared that the figures quoted by him ought to be convincing as to the economy of using cotton bags. The people of the cotton states have the further incen tive. the committee says, of using one-trip bags had been used, the cotton bags in that they are creating cost, at $50 a thousand would have been $1,576,400, but instead the cot- a Remand for cotton, their chief money crop.
