De la Howe
Takes Two Games
De la Howe took two games from
Connie Maxwell on De la Howe
court Saturday night, January 14.
Both games were closely contested
and real defensive battles were
featured throughout.
In the first game the De la
Howe girls, who have taken all
opposition other than Ninety Six,
found it extremely difficult to get
started against the strong Connie
Maxwell girls’ team. At the same
time De la Howe guards, Welch
and Bright, proved to be just as
difficult for the Connie Maxwell
team. The score , at the half was
7 to 5 in favor of De la Howe.
In the second half the De la
Howe girls picked up more mo
mentum and scored 16 points
while Connie Maxwell was able to
score 11. The final score was De
la Howe 23 and Connie Maxwell 16.
In the second game of the even
ing the De la Howe boys, who
have improved considerably dur
ing the season, found it possible
to defeat Connie Maxwell’s strong
team by a score of 23 to 19. ’Oie
boys’ game started off slowly with
eratic passing and poor shooting
by both teams. In the second half
both teams seemed to snap out of
it and played a much better game.
Connie Maxwell was playing with-
cut the presence of three of their
regular players.
A large crowd witnessed the
gabies. The attendance at De la
Howe’s games has been unusually
good and has made it possible for
De la Howe to buy new equipment
for the basket ball squad. The
handsome new blue and white
warm up suits that the teams
were wearing Saturday night were
bought from the gate receipts of
previous v games. We are very
proud of our teams and their new
uniforms and wish to thank all of
the people who have been coming
to our games for their fine patron
age.

Card Of Thanks
Maybank Takes
Office As Governor
Columbia, Jan. 17.—Burnet R.
Maybank of Charleston took office
today as Governor of South Caro
lina with a ringing call for solu
tion of the state’s fiscal problem
and the building of a “sound tax
structure.”
Then, he said, “we can go for
ward with our program to bring
new industries into South Caro
lina.”
Speaking from the broad steps
of the historic state house after
receiving the oath of office from
Chief Justice John G. Stabler, the
39-year old former mayor of
Charleston outlined his program
to an audience of many thousand
people from all parts of the state.
After the state’s colorful anti
dueling oath was repeated by
Stabler, Maybank replied in a
loud clear voice.
“I do so solemnly swear.”
In taking the oath, Maybank
placed his hand on a Bible which
had been in his family for 150
years and carries a record of
births, deaths and important hap
penings since Revolutionary days.
Cheers and hand-clapping in
terrupted the new governor during
his 30-minute speech. Particular
ly was this true when, looking
straight at the audience, he shout
ed with emphasis: “We must move
forward.”
The crowd estimated at “10,000
and more” by Richland county
Sheriff T. Alex Heise, began gath
ering before 11 a. m. Maybank
and retiring Governor Olin John
ston arrived shortly before noon
and at 12:05 p. m. Maybank began
speaking.
Color guards of the Washington
Light Infantry of Charleston and
Porter Military Academy formed
an escort for the party to the
speaker’s stand.
Loud speakers carried the youth
ful former* Charleston mayor’s
voice to the throng.
Immediately after his speech,
Maybank went to the executive
offices where long lines of well-
wishers filed through to shake
hands with the new governor.
Seeing the fiscal problem as
“our primary problem,” Maybank
asserted that “the very corner
stone of good government is a
sound fiscal policy. We do not
have that in South Carolina to
day.
“Until we put our financial
house in order we are both wast
ing and losing time in attaining
our desired end.”
He pointed to the report of the
state budget commission, showing
“an operating deficit for the year
of over $2,000,000,” and recom
mended the creation of a legisla
tive committee “to make the nec
essary detailed study of South
Carolina’s fiscal condition and
problems in order that we may
’snow first where the state now
stands, and second, what may be
done to restore it to a sound fi
nancial condition x x x.”

We would like through these

thanks for the love, kindness and
sweet thoughtfulness shown to ur

our recent misfortune, the loss of
our home by fire. We assure you
it is most highly appreciated.
Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Scott,
