CHICAGO NOT To
PLAY At HARVARD
University Board Holds it is Not
Advisable to Schedule Games
Outside the Western Confer
renee.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE University
of Chicago through its board of
physical culture athletics Wednesday
declined to meet Harvard in a foot
ball game next fall. The board ex-
pressed appreciation at the invitations
for game at Cambridge but decided
that it was not advisable to schedule
games with teams outside the big
Nine"
A statement given out after the
boards meeting said:
THE University of Chicago has re-
ceived an invitation to play a football
game with Harvard university in Cam
bridge next autumn. At meeting to-
day the board of physical culture and
athletics appreciation of the invita-
ton from Harvard was expressed. In
the opinion of the board, however, il
is not at present advisable for the Uni
versity of Chicago to schedule football
games out of the western conference,
and especially at so considerable a dis
lance"
The decision is in line with the spir-
il of the conference as informally eX-
pressed at the faculty meeting here
last week when scheduling of intersec-
tiOnal games was declared not desira-
bic. In this connection it was learned
on Wednesday that the proposal
for an intersectional post season
basketball season, which the confer
ence declined TO sanction was made by
an eastern association.

ON BIG PROBLEM
Grand Rapids President is Busy
TheSG Days Trying to Plug
Up the Holes in His Pennant
Winning Team.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Dec. IL
Grand Rapids baseball fans have rea-
son to rejoice over the announcement
by Pres. Essick of the Grand Rapids
baseball team, to the effect that he
has signed Outfielder Fred Mitchell,
leading batsman of the Southern
Michigan association this season. The
clever player was free to sign through
a nOn-reserve contract in playing with
the Flint club this year. a number
OF Southern Michigan association
clubs tried 10 sign him but were un-
able to offer him what he could sign
for with a number of teams in leagues
of higher class.
In Al games last season Mitchell
batted 1858. making 81 hits. of which
ten were doubles and three triples.
AS a run scorer he shows well with
SO runs. an average Of almost one a
game. He also made three sacrifice
hits. stole nine bases and waited out
Is bases on balls In fielding he
shows the possession of q strong
throwing arm in having II assists. an
unusual mum Der for an outfielder TAX
ing part in but Al games.
The signing OF Mitchell makes four
players who will fight IT out for the
Outfielding positions on the Grand
Rapids team, Core, Grimes, Tydeman
and the Southern Michigan associa-
ton recruit. All are experienced
leaguers whose class is beyond ques-
ton. Players OF the Southern Michi-
gan association say that Mitchell is
one of the greatest batsmen who ever
broke into that organization and that
he should prove a great player in the
Central league.
Pres. Essick is almost as busy now
with his correspondence as during
the summer months, seeking the ser
vices of another experienced infielder
and two or three seasoned pitchers.
He says he has promised the fans of
Grand Rapids another good team and
is determined TO make good on the
promise.

Today he is worth a quarter of a

wisely or was just naturally lucky is
hard to say, but he began winning and
soon had money enough 70 ''cut in

Editor The Herald and News: l de-
sire to inform the public that as the

.nad better pay their road tax, # they
do not want to be worried to work the
roads at time perhaps when they
want to work their crops. l have
worked on the road since 15tn August
four hundred and sixty seven men that
had not paid their tax, and have col

to pay the oyerseer, and it mas been
said that | have over done the thing
Well, l know that l have made some
people awful mad, but | had rather
make people mad for forcing them to
obey the law than to make people
mad for me failing to do my duty.
1 am going to do some permanent
wo4k on Lne roads for the next two
months and then | will spread out
again. / am going to make house

them and warn every man that has
not paid ais commutation tax to work
the road side by side with the chain
gang. six straight days. So if you fail
to pay your Communication. tax, and l
hope to get to your house when you
are busy hoeing cotton, don't blame
me, for | am giving you fair warning
now
This is no bluff for l really had
rather have the six days work than
have the two dollars. l have already
shown that it can be done for l COM
menced as late as Is of August, and
while | did not have time to get quite
around, I have come very near it, on
Iy a few have escaped.
I desire to thank the people for the
kindness shown me in my work. |

arms and taken to their homes and
given the very pest ana large per

the road, although they had paid their
tax. l have worked very near all over
the county since l have been in Office
and if there is any road that needs

PRIZES AWARDED.
By School Improvement Association
-NeWberry Gets One-POmaria
School.

For the benefit of the public it
should be known that the schools Of
this county, making improvement,
were graded by the executive commit
tee of the Rural School Improvement
association in tne following order:
Pomaria, which won a first prize Of
fifty dollars; jolly Street, Jalapa, st.
Paul, Chappells, Trinity, Zion, Hart
ford, and Rutherford Whitmire was
ineligible because in town Of more
than four hundred inhabitants and be
cause the application was not sent in
Through the county SUI erintendent.
The ,otal amount of Improvement in
this county was $26,5OO.
In many instances the committee of
thirteen found it hard to decide which
of the one hundred forty-seyen schools
applying deserved the thirty prizes.
Schools over the entire State and es-
pecially in NeWberry county were eli
minated for the following reasons:
Not having two closets on the rear of
the school yard; not organizing a
rural school Improvement association;
not conforming to the suggestions Of
Clemson college in regard 20 bunch
ing windows on pupils left and having
no window in front, and in painting
the ceiling a lighter line than the
walls; not having enough school spirit
to observe clean-up-day, keep the
building in order, and elect a teach
er of higher than third grade certi-
icate; and for lack of community ac-
tivities, such as boys corn club, home
makers club and home garden club.
The schools were not awarded prizes
on size nor cost of buildings; but the
past conditions were taken into ac-
count; and some little one-room coin
try schools were given prizes over
seven thousand dollar buildings. There
were twenty nine other schools in the
State that showed more wonderful
improvement and more community
spirit than those of NeWberry coun-
ty.

AS to a Few Names.
]. H. Chappell,
Supervisor.

There are many wo4derful things in
the wogld to think about and one Of
the most is the millions of different
names among people, and some Of
them appear so strange to strangers.
You get hold of a list of names from
some far-away town and try to read
it. You can't pronounce some and
many of them look old to you. A
citizen will think the same Of list
from Newberry, which is as easy to
you as the nard one from his town is
10 him.
We may have a few of the hard-to-
pronounce sort in our county and
some that look queer to strangers, but
we will bet that Newberry has more
names with similar initials than any
city of its size on the globe. 1t would
be an interesting study to sit down
and name them. If this writer was
not so busy with The Herald and
News contest and otner work connect
ed with the Office he wouldn't mind
trying it.
To begin with: D. A. Dickert, D. A.
Langford, D. A. Livingston, D. A.
Rive:s; E. H. Aull, E. H. Cousins, E.
H. Longshore, E. H. Leslie, E. H. Sum-
mer, E. H. Livingston, E. H Werts, E..
H. Harris. There is not as much in
that as in this: Who would know
which one was meant if you mention
ed J. c.. d. minick? There is j.
Cnesley anu ]. Claude. Then you
call Tom Johnson without seeing the
name with the difference in spelling.
1t wouldn't be known whether you
meant Tom P. or Tom K And New
berry can furnish names fer poe
htry.' Take, for instance, T. J. Hayes
and J. T. Mayes. This is just sam
pie or so mot J. c., but just ordinary.)
Lots of makeups could be got out Of
Newberry names and it would be an
interesting study to one who had
time
Of course there are more Geo.
Washes than we care to enumerate
just at present and the J. W.'s are
also too numerous to mention. Think
of the ]. Willies and J. Washes ct al,
all around and about you.
