Victory Is ever sweet, but It Is especially to be desired when It comes with all South Carolina loklng on, that Is, all the population Interested in athletics. The gfcmes between the two col? leges began In 1896, when Carolina won, 12 to 6. Then, ensued a long succession of Clemson victories un 11 1902. That year ushered In a new era m Carolina football. With I Bob Williams and Christie Benet coaching them, the Carolina Game? cocks won out over Clemson In one I of the hardest fought and most sen? sational struggles ever seen In this State. After this the games were dis? continued until 1909, when the Game? cocks lost to the Tigers by a score of 6 to 0. The next year found the Tigers victorious again, this time by a large score.

Charleston, Oct. 31.?New that other cities and towns of North and South Carolina begin to realize the tremendous value and significance of the Men and Hellglon Forward Move? ment and the fact that they have only themselves to blame If they do not re? ceive Invaluable direct benefits. Rob? ert K. Stnley. Executive Secretary for the Carolinas, at 210 King Street. Is being flooded with letters of inquiry from cities, town and villages of the two States. After urgent request, speakers have been sent (at the ex? pense of the Inviting city or town) to explitn in person to Conferences of Pastors, Sunday School Superlntend er ts and other laymen, the slgflcance of the Movement. The prime object of this Move? ment Is to vitally strengthen the work for men .and boys In every Protest? ant church and Sunday school In North America. All of these church? es have grave man and boy problems. Sane leaders of all denominations de? clare this Movement has been divinely inspired to do this. The plan con? templates infinitely more than a short peiiod of big meetings. It seeks to establish no new organization but to invigorate existing factors In the church and to broaden their pro? grams. It alms not to make itself but its Influence permanent. All North America will thrill with the achievements of this Movement under God. before next May. Every Protestant pastor in Charleston and hundreds of leading laymen are hop? ing that the churches and Sunday Sunday schools of Sumter will In? vestigate this Movement quickly and fully. If they do and decide not to become an Auxiliary Centre they will be the first not to eagerly enlist in this gigantic "forward match" of the Christian men and boys of North America. J. E.

SAVES HIMSELF IN TRUNK. - Four-Year-Old Rescued from Hlnze He Started. I Asheville, N. C. Oct. ;?0.?Dlsplay i Ing unusual presence of mind, Edgar Applegate, the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Applegate, saved himself from burning to death by hiding in his mother's trunk, when a fire, which he started while playing with matches, gutted his home, at Waynesville, early this evening His mother, who was asleep in an up? stairs room when the house took fire, was rescued while unconscious by neighbors. When the ; mother regained con? sciousness, she Fcreamed that her boy was in the house and made an effort to rush back Into the flames, but was restrained. After several men liad made vain efforts to enter the house. Theodore McCracken, a busi? ness man of Waynesville, dashed to the boy's rescue. Four times he rushed into the burning house and was driven back; on the fifth trip he entered the kitchen through a win? dow and heard the muffled cries of a child, which apparently came from a steel trunk back of the kitchen door. McCracken seized the trunk and rushed through the doorway, which was filled with flames, to the yard. The lid of the trunk was lift? ed and the boy was found inside, bad? ly frightened but uninjured. , The Effect of Fall Plowing on Cotton Anthracitose. Clemson Extension Work?Article LIV Experiments conducted at the S. C. Experiment Station during the past year show that where coton anthrac nose occurs fall plowing is very es? sential. A number of diseased cotton bolls were collected last fall and burled at various depths in the soil. These bolls were dug up from time to time during the winter and spring and culture made from them in or? der to determine how long the fungus which, causes the disease would live in such bolls. We found that the fun? gus does not seem to live In these bolls longer than the middle of March. Many of these bolls, when taken up and examined, were found to contain quantities of bacteria? worms were also found In some cf them. These facts lead us to believe that the ordinary agencies of decom? position destroy the anthracnoso fun? gus when the bolls in which the fun? gus is living, are buried in moist soil. At the same time that these bolls were burled, a number of badly dis? eased stalks were, pulled up and car? ried out to the edge of the field where they have been left unmolosted since last fall. Diseased bolls were taken from these stalks from time to time and examined. The fungas is still alive in the diseased bolls on these stalks. The cotton in the fields from which these bolls and stalks were cor.ectrd last season wore very badly diseased. The stalk chopper was run over these stalks as soon as the cotton had all been picked and the land was turn? ed about 10 Inches deep. It was then harrowed and sown In crimson clovor The clover was plowed under ear'y In April and the land was planted again in the same variety of cotton that was used last year. The seed for this planting had been carefully se? lected from a field where there was no anthracnose. This season there was no anthracnose at all In this^eld. These results, then, Indicate that fall plowing is going to be a great help In combatting anthracnose. The fact that the fungus is still alive in stalks which were not turned under emphasizes the importance of such plowing. H. W. Barre, Botanist to S. C. Experiment Station. A Father's Vengeance.

NICKELS OF 1910 ARE GOOD Hundreds of People Seem to Think all Five-cent Pieces of That Date Are Spurious. Washington, Oct. 31.?Hundreds of Inquiries from all sections of the country are being received at the treasury department from those per? sons who have believed recent re? ports that all nickels dated 1910 are counterfeit.

The October meeting of the Civic League was held at the regular time in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. The meeting was very satisfactory as the committees reported quickly and the business was disposed of without any driwn-out discussions. At present the League wishes to direct especial attention toward the improvement of the appearance of the town. In the spring City Council was begged to insist on business houses boxing trash and also to place trash receptacles on Main street. Council took no action in this matter and so the League is now purchasing the trash cans. The Childrens' Garden contest gave encouraging results last year, so many children becoming interested, and so it has been decided to make it an annual affair. Notice will be given earlier this year and the con? test will be carried on along slightly . different lines. The committee in I charge is composed of Mrs. Fcrd Levi, Mrs. J. T. Maurer, Mrs. J. M. Knight, Miss Katherine Moses and Miss E. M. McLean. A committee has also been appointed to daw up plans for a con? test among grown-ups in which prizes will be offered for improved gardens and premises and sidewalks. This committee consists of Mrs. W. H. Ingram, Mrs. John T. Green, Mrs. A. M. Bogln, Miss Janle Mikell and Mr. W. L. Brunson. For some months the town has promised to turn over the stand pipe lot to the care of the Civic League, in order that it may be given a more pleasing appearance, as soon as place can be found in which to keep the piping, etc now on the lot. It is hop? ed that this will be accomplished before it is time to prepare the ground for spring. The League has decided to try to have notes in the paper regularly every week and the Item has kindly consented to publish them every Wed? nesday. Bird Shooting Begins November IS. Though the season for shooting partridges will not open until No? vember 15, there are indications that the sport has already begun. Tho law says it is unlawful to kill any I partridges or wild turkey between March 15th and November 15th, or any dove between the 1st day of March and the 15th day of August. An interesting section of the law Is where it is unlawful for any per? son to kill more than 25 partridges or doves during any one day, in sea? son. Sentences of $25 or imprison? ment for 30 days is the penalty for violation of the statute. The law also prohibits the buying or selling of game. Provision Is also made for the shooting of the wild turkey, quail, woodcock, and deer; but since game of this kind Is not found in this section of the State, the haw would not j be of interest locally. The sentence to be imposed for violation of the j game laws aro so arranged that cases j come within the jurisdiction of the magistrates, and justice will therefore be easier had.
