HIGHLAND TEAM WORKED WE'LL
Carried or Second Place for Their
SchOol-Local Matters.

Richland, April 7.-Special: Ano-
Their such week as we have Just had
and we will have our crops nearly all
planted.
Misses Mamye Cromer and Beth
Cne and Mr.. S!nSGey accompanied
Harry r. Hughs to Anderson last
Wednesday evening in the latter's
hew car.
Miss Katie Harrison, one of the
Blue Ridge teachers, spent the week
end with Miss Annie McMahan.
Edgar. McMahan and Stiles Strib-
ling, of Clemson, attended the track
meet and spent the weekend with
homefolks.
Quite a good crowd or the pupils
and patrons Of the Richland school
were in Seneca Saturday to see our
team take second place at the track
meet. This Is the third time our
school has done this stunt. Each
time Westminster has won first
place. Every man on our team has
won a second place in the association.
First, Bruce Stribling won second
in the oratorical contest at Westmin-
ster; Saturday Wilkinson Hughs won
TWO seconds-running high jump
and pole vaulting-one frst-shot-
put and tied for first in the run
ming broad jump. Floyd Adds won
secon in the 4%40-yard dash. Will
liam Davis won second place in the
haif-mile, missing first place about
two feet. The cause of his not taking
nrst was that he had to run bare
rooted on the rough track. Adds
was using his shoes In the running
high jump and he couldn't get them.
Bruce Stribling was the only one who
fafled to make three points for our
school. He barely failed to qualify
IN n hurdles. Our boys are proud
OF their success, as they should be.
They are grooming themselves nov.
for the Piedmont meet next Saturday
and expect to make somebody hustle.

BALTIMORE TEMPERANCE
WORKER is REBUKED
New York Newspaper Editor Refuses
to Receive W. H. Anderson, Anti
saloon League Head.

New York, Dec. 3O.-The editor of the
Morning Telegraph has received a letter
from Baltimore. signed by William H
Anderson, superintendent of the Anti.
Saloon League of that city. The Tele.
graph publishes the letter, as follows:
Editor the Morning Telegraph, New
Dear Sir: January 1 I shall be-
come general State superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of New York. 1 as
sumo that you would likU to know at first
hand of the aggressive plans to be
launched at once in New York. For ex-
ample, while We shall not try to repeal
the Raines excise law, we shall at once
propose legislation by which its operation
may be suspended where it embarrasses
the people in their efforts TO close saloons.
Awaiting an expression of your pleas
Ure, ] am. yours very truly,
(SiGned) WILLIAM Ii. ANDERSON,
Superintendent !"
The editor of the Telegraph comments
on the letter as follows:
Being of social habits and trend, I am,
nevertheless, somewhat particular about
the company I keep. Therefore I must
decline the generous proffer of Mr.. An
derson.
The letter is interesting chiefly as a
sample Of the methods which have made
the Ani-Saloon League a subject OF
criticism wherever its interfering fingers
have reached.
THE word suspended in Mr.. Ander-
sons letter appears in capital letters,
and II is typewriter in red.
There is no desire to repeal the Raines
law, only a desire and a plan to have its
effectiveness legislated into nullity.
IF such q proposal were to emanate
from a source less professionally holy,
the citizen=y would arise and smite its
declaimers."

B. & o. EARNINGS FALL OFF.

New York, Dec. 30.-Daniel Willard,
president Of the Baltimore and Ohio. said
today that gross earnings Of his road
would show a falling on for the month Of
December, but not as large a contraction
as in the previous month. He believes
the reduced earnings reflect falling on in
general business. Mr.. Willard refused
to discuss the question recently asked by
the Interstate Commerce Commission OF
the railroads as to whether the inter-
locking directorates resulted in railroads
paying for supplies from companies
in which they were interested. Mr.. Will
lard said that, answering for the Balti-
more and Ohio, this was not true.

PRIMARY IDEA
TO BE DROPPED
MIR. Wilson VIII Not Press
Plan for Nomination of
President.
OPPOSITION Is STRONG
Party Leaders in the South Afraid
Conditions in that Section
Would Be Upset.
OPPOSITION IS STRONG

According to reports in circulation,
President Wilson will not press at the
Forthcoming session of Congress the
recommendations contained in his annual
message for the enactment OF a Federal
Presidential primary law. Ii is explained
that Mr.. Wilson has found the opposition
to the plan so strong among members OF
his own party that he has decided to
abandon it for the present. The items in
the Presidents message dealing with the
Presidential primary created something
of a sensation when they first were given
publicity. 1t was noted at the time that
Republicans and Progressives were in
clined to approve the idea, while many
Democrats came out in opposition.
Southern leaders express the fear that
even II Congress had the constitutional
authority to pass a law it could go
further and provide for the direct cleo
tions of Presidents They also are afraid
that il the start once is made in this
direction laws would be passed that
would upset political conditions in the
solid South and give negroes a voice in
public affairs in that section that is now
denied them.
While the reports concerning Mr.. Will
sons abandonment or the primary plan
lack official confirmation they are given
credence in political circles The belief
is quite general that the President is fully
aware OF the intense opposition enter
tanned by many OF the leaders of his
party, to this proposed political reform,
and that, rather than hazard a night at
this juncture that might menace other
features OF his legislative program, he will,
for the time at least, refrain from urging
action on a Presidential primary Dill.
This does not mean that the subject
will not be ag1tated in Congress this win
ter. The Bull Moose charge that Mr..
Wilson attempted to steal their thunder
when he adopted the Presidential primary
idea, and. that they will not permit him
to evade the issue

sports" PUT TO SHAME
BY COURT INTERPRETER

Isaac Binder, interpreter at the
Fourth Precinct Police Court, dealt
out an object lesson and reprimand
to two youths of the sporty, loud
mouthed, dusty-lipped variety in
South Orange avenue trolley car last
night. 1t happened this way
Binder boarded the car at the -Four
Corners" He found seat next to
the aforesaid sports. Directly across
sat an elderly Jew, reading Jewish
newspaper. To the amusement of
several passengers the two young
men were poking fun at the for
eigner and commenting on the paper
he was reading. Although the man
made no reply, it was evident that he
didn't enjoy the fun and amused
looks of the rest of the passengers.
Binder sat quiet as long as he
could, but finally his spirit for fair
play got the best of him. He left his
seat and asked another man for the
newspaper he held in his hand.
Going to the foreigner, Binder said
in English:
"Can you read this, my friend?"
