pretty fast for their size. If he con

in the last week ho will put out a
winning team v
The boys are anxious for their
first game. Perhaps the coach is go-
ing to surprise them by telling them
he has no game scheduled, and then
some Friday take them off for their
first game.
Gladys took the negative side of
this querry. This is the second time
Gladys has won prizes th s year, and
the senior class is proud of her rec

McCORMICK GIRLS
DEFEAT NINETY-SIX.
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.

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.
Nitrates are Cheaper/
