School In contest at GreenVille.

In this community.

>Twixt the watchful, critical and
motherly care and correction OF the
seneca correspondent, and the fa-
trerly, wise and conservative admo-
nltlons and warnings Of the West
Minister correspondent we feel that
we can go very far astray, but, like
a 'heady' and wilful son, we Will
speak out in meetin'.' We submit
that the head man in the hurdle race
at Seneca could not be competent
witness as to distance, for he was
ahead. Since he was pushed so close
that he had no time to look back, we
accept the cyclone theory. No doubt
he felt like two cyclones were be-
hind him. The audience and judges
could tell better.
To the Westminster correspondent
we wish to say that we made no
comment on the railroad employees
worthy motives in trying to get an
education, or the splendid work and
motives and success Of the Westmin-
ster High School. 1t was the age and
physical development we slapped"
at. This point was beautifully
lodged In the "fatherly admoni-
tons" In defense of our point and
the editor Of The Courier we will
give one illustration of almost dou-
bic age and size: In one of the
races at Seneca we saw bearded
man. past "a years Of age, and not
weighing less than 160 pounds-one
OF the best muscled men in Oconee-
running against one Of our Richland
boys, % years old and weighing only
~ pounds. This is an extreme ex-
ample, but a true one, and ap-
proaches very closely, in fact corrob-
crates, our statement and The Cou-
rier's too. However, the matter is
settled and the age limit will be put
IN, and, as we had nothing to do with
the settlement, we have no other
comment.
The Richland school was proud to
take second place in the track meet
of the Piedmont Oratorical and Ath-
letic Association. Our speaker,
Stiles Stribling, scored high in the
contest and oar track taam ttoS

very modest manners and propor-
tions, going up against all these lar
ger schools and standing next to
head, Robert Davis taking first place
! in shot-put and Wilkinson Hughs
first place in running high jump.
Our older and much larger sister,
Seneca High School, was right at our
heels, pushing us, only "hair's
breadth" (maybe this word will fit)
between. We had that cyclone SEN
sation and felt their breath. We did
not look back to measure distance.
Glad to give them third place

contest and meet in Greenville we're
