The notice, sent out from the
headquarters of the advisory com
mittee here, is signed by J. C~
Hambright of Rock Hill as chair--
man and A. B. Kale, secretary. It
is addressed to the “people of SoutJr
Carolina.”
It states that the meeting is for
the “purpose of* organizing a state
wide political party which will
command the respect and invite’
the support of the best citizenships*
of South Carolina and be in keep--
ing with the ideals and principles
of the present national Republican
administration.”
The invitation is extended to “all
j persons, both men and women, who-
') are eligible to the voting privilege*
in South Carolina who are in full
sympathy with the purpose of this
call and will join in and support
the said party after it is duly or
ganized.
A couple of weeks ago represen
tative Republicans of the state met
jhere. They voted to ask the advis
ory committee to call a mass meet
ing in Columbia and the present
call is the answer to that request.
The convention will be held in
the new township auditorium in
Columbia at 1707 Taylor street.

and efficient postman for a num

moved his family to Florida where
they have lived since. He bought
a fine orange grove there, and at
sometime carried the mail there.
In a way it seems harder to see
good people go, yet they are pre

Cochran means so much to a com

kind and faithful son, a devoted
father and husband. If we could

been when his spirit wdht home to

a brother too is there, and so many

of his saints, the departed cannot
come to us, but we can go to them.
May this shock help prepare us all
for a better land.
Something like 500 persons, rel

respect to their departed friend.

that the peopte have the “willies”

Furman Ties The
W est Y irginians* 7-7
GREENVILLE, Oct. 22.—Those*
football fans who back their judg
ment with money and who sold'
Furman’s Purple Hurricane “Short”"
in the Davis and Elkins game Sat
urday not only - witnessed Coach
Dad Amis’ lads declare an extra
dividend when they heid the strong
West Virginians to a 7-7 tie but
likewise saw the Furman machine^
at Its peak of power this season.
And it is well that the Hurricane'
is clicking, for the next opponent
is the powerful University of Flor—
Ida eleven which Furman meets in
Gainesville Saturday.
The Gators are also fresh from a..
great inter-sectional struggle. But *
they did better than Furman. The-
Florida outfit conquered the Uni
versity of Chicago 19-0 in the
Windy City and on the strength of
this victory and other conquests of
the season is heavy favorite to bowl
over the South Carolina visitors.
However, Florida will find hi the-
Furman forward wall one of the
toughest lines it will face <this sea
son. The heavy Davis and Elkins :
team could do little with Coach
Amis’ line. The West Virginians,
had to use a pass to score their
touchdown.
Furman’s biggest handicap on
going into the Florida game will
be an offense that has as yet failed
to show anything startling when
pitted against opposition. There
arc a floclf of neat ball carriers in
Furman uniform, but the line does
not open up and the interference
does not click readily enough to*
give the ball advancers a chrnce-
Furman coaches will place plenty :
of emphasis on offensive work this
week. If the Hurricane can develop'
a sustained running attack, plus
the efficiency already shown in
passing, Florida will have a much
announced.
