tenn inside the 25-yard line and on the
remainder OF the field will use the old
rules, giving the public chance this
year to see what system they most de-

Now, as 90 per cent OF the playing
is done between the 2b-yard lines there
VIII be very little chance for COM
parison between the old aud new sys-
tens.
In the first part Of the rule, that re-
ferring to seven men In the line, there
Is direct attempt 10 put football back
10 years. as no team with any record
has lately used this system except
Princeton, and for the last three years
the Tigers have not gained sufficient
ground in the Yale game, all told 10

field over the goal line.
1T Is impossible to gain ground
against flrst-class team with this sys-
TEN. or It certainly would be used by
all teams, and II viii, moreover, weak
on the desirable end plays for which II
was evidently made.
"Al coaches are bent on developing
end runs, as they are great ground
gamers, and are not SO wearing on
their men as the line bucklng game,
but any team can break up an end rum

pie OF fair ends.
Il don't see just how the quarterback
running with the ball VIII aid matters,
as he must go out five yards. This Is
bound to cause an endless number OF
disputes and lot Of delays, which VIII
make the game very unintoresting 10
both public and players,
"All chances for disputes should be
eliminated, and for that reason II seems

much extra work that they really

think this would satisfy the public who
always want something new. Instances
OF these changes due TO public opinions
were the flying wedge and the unsuc-
cessful legislation against George
Woodruff's guards back formation.
Il firmly believe thta the game this
fall will lose its best part, namely,
team work. The individual viii be the
whole thing, and the team with a good
kicker will have n great advantage
over their opponents. It seems TO me
that Princeton. with her long expert

King. the white man VINO Lrled 10
exterminate the Rodgers family by
shooting and killing the father and
son and attempted to ki!l the wife
and mother, at their home in
Florence county some months ago,
was recently tried in that county
and was convicted Of murder with a
recommendation to mercy. He was
given life sentence in the peniten-
siary and is now in shat penal insts-
tuition.
It will doubtless be remembered
by many of our readers that after
King did the killing he made good
his escape, but was captured at
Bsmberg, where he had located and
had formed partnership with State
Senator s. G Mayfeld, in the culti-
vation of tobacco.
During his flight from the scene
of the murder in Florence county to
his new home in Bamberg, be was
accompanied by a woman who
claimed to be his wife. The couple
spent some time in the southern por-
ton of this county, driving a grey
mule to buggy, passing under the
name of Mr.. and Mrs. Green. They
acted in strange manner and ex-
cited considerable suspicion. The
man always wore haunted look and
always went armed. At night they
locked themselves in room If the
dwelling where they might happen
to stop, and the Winchester rias
which he carried was placed in q
position for immediate use in case Of
q sudden alarm. The man evsded
all questions relative to himself and
his business, with the exception OF
looking for place to locate, and was
morose, sullen and even at times iu
sulting to those whose hospitality he
shared. While many had their sus-
picion concerning this strange man
and his stranger actions no one sup
posed that his hands wsre stained
with that blood OF his fellow man and
that he was fugstive fleeing from
justice with a price upon his head,
until the account :of his arrest was
published in the papers Of the State.

be secured the option on several
pieces of property above Dreher's
Shoals. We understand that it is
the purpose of these gentlemen, in
acquiring possession n of this property,
is to throw q dam across tbe river at
or beyond the Shoals for msnufactur-
ing purposes and the purchase Of
these lands, which will probably be
affected by the backwster, is to pro.
tect themselves from any damage suit
that might arise therefrom. We also
understand that several large cotton
mills and other manufacturing plants
will be established there in the near
future. The power to be used in
operating these enterprises will be
electricity. I. is claimed. and We
believe justly 80, too, that enough
power can be developed there by
harnessing the river, to turn the
wheels of every cotton mill in South
Carolina for the next ten years to
come.
