WARRIORS
PREPARED
FOR BATTLE NEXT SATURDAY
High School Eleven is in Ex-
CGIIGDt Shape

Friends of the High School football
team are proud of the manner in which
the young players are getting into
shape for the first contest of the sea
son with Columbus next Saturday.
Though this is the first year of the
football team at the school, it is be-
lieved it will be ushered in with suc-
cess that football will be a permanent
feature of the athletic sports at the
school, just as baseball has become.
OF course, it is not expected that foot
ball will ever prove as popular with
the High School players as the ma
tional game
Mr. James Reeve, who is the coach
of the football squad, has trained his
men well. They are playing with much
more snap and ginger now than for
merly The team work has greatly inn
proved, and it is believed that they
will be able to handle the forward pass
and other plays well when they stack
up against Columbus Saturday after
noon Tickets for the game are al
ready on sale The admission is fifty
cents apiece for every one.

MANY VISITORS Went To
FAIR FROM SUMTER
Ticket Sales Give Indication
of Attendance

That Sumter county has been well
represented at the state fair is evil
denced in the fact that up to noon yes
terday 403 tickets, Americus to Macon
these including fair coupons, had been
sold by the Central railroad here, while
this number was probably increased
by ticket sales last night.
To this number must be added the
tickets sod at nearby towns on the
Seaboard, including Plains, Leslie and
DeSoto, and Andersonville and Sumter
on the Central, very considerable
number.
Probably as many people went TO the
fair by automobile as by the trains,
as a number of cars have gone up ev-
cry day since the fair opened. 1t is
a conservative estimate probably to
place the attendance at the fair from
Sumter at 500 to 500 visitors.

ffacICaIIV TWOThirds Of the Registered Voters Cast
Their Ballots For the UROppOsGd Candidates of the
Citizens Club in the Primary Yesterday Out of
696 Registered Voters, 45S Went to the Polls

! that the highest number of ballots cast
was very nearly two-thirds of the to-
tai registration was especially graft
flying to the candidates and to their
many supporters.
Throughout the day there was but
little excitement at the polls, as it was
not expected to be otherwise with no
opposition ticket in the field. The on
ly excitement was for the friends and
supporters of the candidates to bring
out as large a vote as possible for
their unopposed ticket This they did
in admirable manner. as was shown by
the total count last night.
Many of the leaders of the Citizens
club after the close of the polls ex-
pressed themselves as gratifed at the
result of the primary, which they re-
garded as complete Yindication of the
white primary, which was made. in a
way. one of the issues of the primary.
So decisive was the vote. these leaders
believe, that it should put an end to
the controversy that has been waged
here so long relative to the municipal
ownership of public ut lities.

CONGRESSMAN ELECT
TRAVELLING over DISTRICT
Has Seen Many Friends Re.
Gently

Congressman-elect Charles R. Crisp
returned yesterday from Shiloh, where
he enjoyed for day or two the pro-
ceedings of the Friendship association,
meeting and mingling with his numer-
Gus friends from Sumter and neighbor-
ing counties in attendance upon the
session. Judge Crisp spent two day in
Stewart county this week, where court
is in session, and will likewise visit
other counties of the Third district
during the court period.
Wherever he has been since his re-
cent election to congress Judge Crisp
has been given a cordial reception at
the hands of his friends, with con-
gratulations upon his signal victory.
His long confinement in Washington
as house parliamentarian during the
recent session of congress precluded
the pleasure now afforded him of going
over the district, renewing old friend
ships and making new friends.

COTTON CORNER
CASE MAY BE

No Charge That Cotton Was

Washington, D. C., Oct. 24.-Admis-

James Patten. Eugene Scales. Frank
b. Hayne and William P. Brown, on
charges OF conspiracy to run Sl0,-
100000 corner on cotton in 1910 on
the New York cotton exchange, in o.
Iation OF the Sherman antitrust law,
we're made in the Supreme court OF
the United States yesterday by Solic-
itor General Bul.itt Dr the govern
ment
The occasion was the second argu-
ment over the Indictment the court
not being willing to decide last spring
the correctness of the decision OF the
New York federal court in quashing
several vital counts in the Indictment.
The new solicitor general had bare
'v stated TO the court that the ques-
rion in the case was the decision of
the lower court that the Sherman anti
trust law did not prohibit the running
OF a corner" before Chief Justice
White suggested that he would be
pleased TO have the government at
some time define just what. it meant
.by corner"
Getting right down to brass tacks, .
admitted MIR. Bullitt, after the ques-
ton was asked by the chief justice, y
frankly admit that the seventh count
has one defect as there is no ex-
press statement in it that the COM
bipation was created to withhold from
the market the cotton bought"
II Is generally believed here mat
the case will be dismissed by the
court tomorrow.

The Herald is polling 80 out of the
81 "debatable" states outside the
81 lid South" Its returns indicate
that Wilson will carry 26 out of the
33, with Roosevelt running second
and Taft third in 81 of them, and Taft
second and Roosevelt third in the re-
manning FIVE.
IN the five states where The Herald
straw ballot indicates that Roosevelt
is now the favorite, and in the two
states indicating Taft in the lead, Will
son is invariably the second choice.
Democrats do not by any means con-
c 'Gc the battle lost in any one of these
seven states, although these early
str@w votes point to small pluralities
for Taft or Roosevelt.
A striking feature of the result and
ole which The Herald did not feature
in Its analyses, is the disposition of
tire electoral vote on the basis of the
indicated pluralities. If Gov. Wilson
should carry only 26 states which

votes, or 46 more than he needs. The
eleven Southern states are certain to
give him 1875 more, and four Northern

his total up to 45, leaving 1870 to

The Vermont Forward Movement
was very ably discussed at Pythian
Hall Friday evening by Mason S.

cation, Mayor j. b. Estee of Mont
pelier and A. E. Roberts of New

series Supt. Stone has been holding
in the larger towns of Vermont and
was under the auspices of the Com
mercial and Women's clubs. Pres
ident G.. H. Cross of the Commercial
club presided and introduced the
speakers.
Superintendent Stone was the first
speaker and spoke of the discourage
ing statements that have been made
about Vermont and said that while
they were true there was another
side to the question. For instance
Vermont which has stood low in
regard to illiteracy has in the past
10 years risen to the front rank of
New England states in freedom from
illiteracy. He said the purpose of
Vermont schools today was to teach
the pupil how to think and he
spoke of the Importance of the
under the new law in giving the
state trained teachers in it's rural
schools.
Mayor =. B. Estee emphasized es-
pecially the Importance of the ideal
Of a Greater Vermont" that had
been created by the efforts of Supt
Stone during the past six years and
how the young men and women of
the state needed a Vermont ideal.
He told of the natural richness of
the soil, Of the abundant water pow
er and how the public school should
train the child so he would appre-
ciate and make use of the natural
advantages of his own state.
A. E. Roberts is one of the inter-
