"lou have the wrong impression and
are giving the people here the wrong
impression" Mr. Poole remarked.
Mr. Ford said that such was not his
intention.
In the matter of the waste of water
Mr.. Ford said he had seen sprinkling
carts, one especially. with a careless
driver. who let his wagon overflow
and waste fifty or sixty gallons oil
water.
Mr. Moore. speaking on the real
estate question as an investment said
it was the fault of the present form
of government in Wilmington that
property is taxed so heavily that It
wasn't as good as some other invest
ments. He said when there was an
equitable assessment on city property
and water meters had been installed
in all houses that real estate brokers
could make attractive offers TO in
vestors.
During the meeting Mr.. Moore ask
ed President Poole If the water de-
partmeni was self supporting.
Il cannot answer that question at
this time" was the reply of President
Poole.
Il do not think that we should
drag the financial condition OF the

said Mr.. Moore.
At the conclusion of the meetins
the commissioners were thanked fol

n ATHENS, GA, Nov. 16.-WheY
~ Captain Robert McWhorter's
gridiron career comes to an
end with the Georgia Auburn game
week from Saturday. the McWhor-
ter family as athletes will by no
means be exhausted, and the name
that has put the Red and Black on
the football map for four years will
be perpetuated by the playing of two
more successors Of the Redoubtable
Bob.
Howard, who was captain of Cor
don Institute last year, Is now at
Georgia, but was hardly strong
enough for the team this fall, and
then there Is Thurmond, last years
mascot and the latest real" find Of
the athletes of the McWhorter- clan.
The football career of the family
that Bob has carried into the halls
Of fame dates back to the days when
Marcus was one of the greatest
pitchers that Georgia ever produced,
and who was to the pigskin game Of
those days what his 'little" brother
Robert is to-day. Then there came
along Hamp, who was himself for a
season one Of Georgia's big men on
the firing line and some football play
er, too. Hamp never got into very
many big games but he always went
along with the team, and the while
the opposing bunch warmed up he
walked up and down the sidelnes
with his 1875 pounds of weight just to
show what the team could expect TO
20 UP against when the whistle blew
IT'S said that he virtually put Il
Clemson team to rout down in Au-
gusta few years ago when he APP
peared on the sidelines. and that the
Red and Black had but little trouble
winning.
THEN came the celebrated Robert
whose flashing playing has star
tied spectators from the slumbering
region OF Charleston to the meander-
ings Of the Rio Grande. To follow
him is Howard, who will have to hur-
ry or his younger brother, who Is
hailed by his school comrades as
Booze" will soon have him showed

ayers Connie Mack probably
will be the only one next sea-
son to line up the same team that

The wise old Philadelphia leader will
stand pat with his veterans He Is

a few years OF baseball left, and each
is willing to give II to the old Phil

Connie Mack is like daddy to his
players He treats them just like a

pans any OF them for the wrongs
