Edsefield Lady Writes Interest.
ingly Of Recent Visit to "Cho
fv.' -

Mr.. Editor: It has been my privi-
lege to spend week with relatives
in the community known as "Choty." {"
1t would be hard to find better
people than the "Chotians." They
are so loyal to their neighbors, al
ways so ready to help each other in
times of sickness or distress.
We spent day with Geo. Dorm
in his bachelor home and must say,
that few men would have lived, and
managed as he has, since losing his
wife nearly six years ago. While
there we met our old friend, Mr..
Travis Dorm, who seemed a little
blue over his corn crop. He said he
had raised lalge family of chill
dren, and had never bought bush
ell of corn in his life, but owing to
the drought, would have some to
buy next year. How much he has to
thankful for.
On Saturday afternoon the ladies
of the community gave an ice cream
festival, for the benefit of the Sun
beam band led by Mrs. Arthur Tim
norman and Mrs. Fannie Grifis.
They hadn't quite raised their ap-
portionment; so thought of this plan
to finish raising it, and give the
children pleasure too. 1t was won
derful to see how the children pick
ed cotton during the week to make
money to buy cream Saturday. Even
to little three year-old Drue Bussey
had to have sack made to pick
cotton to buy cream. No doubt, but
what he enjoyed the cream as much
as any of them-thanks to his
Grand ma Bussey. Everything was
nicely arranged in the Grove at the
home of Mrs. Matte Kendrick, and
the old and young people all SEEM
ed to have a good time, besides they
raised enough to pay the balance on
their apportionment,and left some in
their treasury. Look out all ye other
Sunbeam bands, or they will win the
banner. Mrs. Kendrick has recently
purchased, and had built a nice lit
tie home, joining Geo. Bussey. We
feel that she will be great help to
the community by her missionary
zeal and Christian influence.
Miss Ruth Warn, a graduate of
the S. G. q. l., is to teach the Flat
Rock school this year. We think
they have made a wise choice in
selecting teacher, as we consider
her an "all-round" good girl, one
that will try to do her duty.
Buncombe has taken OH new life
since the opening of our school. Col.
Bailey and his faculty look as
though they had a mind t o work,
and we venture to say, that if there
is anything in the students we send
there, they will bring it out. 1t is
,our,duty, as parents to stand by

DR.. Jeffries Called.

At the close of the excellent SER
mon by DR.. w. S. Dorset at the
Baptist church Sunday morning, a
conference of the members was held
and DR.. M. D. Jeffries, of Jefferson
City, Tenn, was unanimously called
to the pastorate of the church at
salary of $4,000. 1t is believed that
DR.. Jeffries will accept the call and
enter upon his duties as early as prac-
ticable. 1t is doubted if church
ever before acted in SO important
a mater with greater unanimity,
which is exceedingly fortunate for
pastor and people.

BUSINESS WESTERN
GAME TOMORROW
Stenographers Will Present
Strongest Lineup.

For the first time, Business High
School football team will be able TO pre-
sent its strongest lineup tomorrow,
when the Stenographers clash with West
ern in the game that will decide the
cellar title of the 1911 scholastic season.
Business will have Black, the dashing
tackle, back in the game in good con-
dition, as his weak ankle is in good
shape, and Red" Wilson. the fighting
tackle, will also be in tiptop form. Lit
tie "Jaky" Flax has been working in
that he will be started against the Red
and White aggregation. The other men,
beers of the team are all in good condi-
ton and a red-hot battle is booked for
Georgetown Field tomorrow afternoon.
The Western team laid OF last week.
and the Stenographers worked all the
harder, with the result that they have
several trick plays up their sleeves that
will startle the boys from across the
creek. Western has a mighty good little
team, and they are bound to put up
hard battle The odds are about even,
although the Red and White team has
played much the better football in the
previous games, holding Central to one
touchdown and Technical to a pair of
Eastern tied Western and
would look as if Western would have all
the best Of the battle tomorrow, but a
different team will face the Red and
White eleven than met defeat at the
hands of the other scholastic teams.

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. 22.-The makeup
of the Naval Academy team, which,
barring accident, will begin the game
against the Military Academy eleven on
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, next Satur-
day, became definitely known to-day. Re-
cent changes have somewhat reduced
the average of the team below that Of
the team as made up earlier in the sea-
son, but 1t compares favorably in
weight with any former Navy team. The
presence of Nichols, who weighs but 154
pounds in the back field. and the substi-
tuition of Wakeman, who weighs but 176
for Elmer. a 2OO-po"nder, at left guard,
are changes which have considerably re-
duced the average.
The final lineup, with the weight of
each player, is as follows: Left end, Ham
iIton, 152; left tackle, Brown, PIG; left
guard, Waken.an, 176; center, Weems 165;
right guard Howe, 1888; right tao lie, Red
man, $50; right end. McReavy, $50; quar-
ter back, Gilchrist, 1853; left half back.
Capt Dalton, ia: right half back, Mich
OILS, 154: full back, Rodes, 169. The aver
age of the back field is 166 IL pounds, of
the line, ISL pounds, and of the whole
team, 176 I'll.
The friends of the Navy team will not
have a chance to see their eleven I'm action
until it lines up against the West Pointers
on Franklin Field Saturday. All the prac-
tice at Annapolis will be secret, as will
that on Franklin Field on Friday. Yester-
day afternoon there was a signal drill
lasting nC-rly two hours, during which
most of the principal substitutes were
used, as we'll as those who will start the
game There was also some practice of
and defensive formations.
There was no regular scrimmage, and
there will be none during the week, as
every effort will be made to prevent in
jury to any player.
Leonard, the fast substitute back, re-
turned to the squad yesterday. the entire
hospital list being wiped out with his re-
turn to the game. A very strong feeling
of confidence in the team prevails here,
and the team is regarded as probably the
best balanced the Naval Academy has
ever had.

Staunton, Va, Nov. 22.-Local athletic
circles have been greatly stirred by the
playing of Country Morris, captain
and star player of the Technical High
School football team of Washington, on
the Staunton Military Academy team.
which won in the game Monday with
Augusta Military Academy. A report
emanated from the latter school that c.
NJ. Barry, of Georgetown, who refereed
the game, had refuted the score on the
ground that Morris, who made the touch
down for S. NJ. A. thus winning the
game, was not a bona fide student This
would have deducted six points from the
winning teams score, giving A. ID. A
the victory by a score of to g.
Barry was telegraphed by Coach Krebs
of S. NJ. A, and he Immediately an
swered to the effect that the report was
false. The trouble arose over the fact
that Morris has been given a years tut
ton at S. NJ. A. on account of his ath-
letic abilities, and Coach Roller. of the
A. NJ. A. team, on being confronted with
the fact that his quarter back, Gallagher
who scored both field goals for his team,
was at the school under the same condi-
tions, and that no agreement had ever
been made between the two schools as
TO what a bona fide student is, at once
withdrew all protests against the score.
S. NJ. A. authorities to-day stated that
Morris intended continuing at the school
until he had received his diploma
