A A Stage, OF Chicago, the only repre-
sentative OF the Western colleges, let
out some Information.
Fortunately for the reputation of the
committee. Mr.. Stagg Is able to report
that there was some discussion Of the
grave football evils which stirred the
versal demand that the roughness OF
the present game should be lessened
and the whole style of play be opened
up. lest 1T lose eii interest.
In the West, anlagonism to the bru-
tality Of the game grew SO that bills
forbidding the sport were introduced in
ing the twenty or more deaths Of play
ers during the brief season of two
months.
On the side of the colleges, Prof
Weatherly, of the University of Indiana
called for the limitation of college
games. with q view to their ultimate
abandonment in their present form. !
President Eliot's mastery indictment
of the game in his annual Harvard re-
port met with widespread approval, anc
no one attempted to refuts his descrip-
ton of the games lack OF moral quail
tty. Since his utterance college players
themselves have spoken against tbs
abuses. and startling evidence of the
growth of professional methods has been
obtained from one source after another
and has lately been strongly set forth
by Henry B Needham, who is at pres
ent in this city.
Must Know Game.
Obviously it was impossible for the
committee TO sit down to the delibera-
tions without knowledge of all this
criticism of and hostility to the game
It's members did actually vote that g
more open game was desirable; in other
words. that the popular demand for re-
form should be considered.

translate his unprecedented and madly

Johnny has been trying to say the Ma

a mouthful.
Now that Johnny has put us wise to
the reason tina Nationals are fighting to
keep out of last place, it would do no
harm to give the opinions Of our old

There is a Difference.

There are some who contend
that there ls nothing wrong in
speculating i'll futures, that it is
the same as buying the actual
cotton. To those we say: Sup
pose it were matter Of current
report, and was generally be.
lieved, that the officials of one Of
the Edge6eld banks were habit
ually speculating. in futures, how
soon the stockholders would be-
come uneasy ard how soon the
deposits of that bank would very
materially decrease, and those of
the other bank correspondingly
increase. On the other hand,
were the same officials 10 purchase
100 bales of cotton and hold it on
their premises or store it in a
warehouse no special notice would
be taken of it, and the banks
business would no: be affected
The latter is legitimate specula-
tion and ;he former illegitimate
speculation, or gambling, as many
term it. The former transaction
would cause the public to question
the integrity Of character of the
individual who was party to it,
causing wane of confidence,
while in the latter, the purchase

between speculation iI"fu lures"

Since our appeal of last week to
the business men OF Edgefeld to
arouse from their lethargy and put
forth united effort for the in
dustrial development of our town,
we have noticed that nearly a
half million dollars have been
paid out in dividends by the

these enterprises is a mattress
factory that has just paid 10
per cent dividend to it's stock

pay a handsome dividend in An

enterprise creates a market for
shucks, wheat and oats straw, aud
other things that are daily used.

is more than the city banks pay.
