GILLIE ORR WAS
CHEER LEADER
POPULAR COLUMBIAN LED SEWA.
NEE RIOTERS IN CHEERS
AND WELLS.

While Lee Tolley was leading the
attack of the Sewanee Tigers on the
field, Gillie Orr, another Columbia
boy, was making the welkin ring on
the side lines Thursday afternoon
with the manner in which he led the
Sewanee cheers, songs and yells. Clad
in white and purple suit, he stirred
the Tiger followers to frenzy when
ever one of the wearers of the purple
made long run. His cheer leading
was decidedly better than that of the
Vanderbilt leader, for he seemed to
get every man and woman in the Sc
vance section into it. They respond
ed to a man whenever they called
on them to give yell for a man or to
sing one of the Sewanee songs. And
when the game was over Gillie was
the first to make break for Lee Toll
ley and help carry him off the field.

COUPLE YOUNG MEN
DO THE MAJ ATHON
THE STORY OF AN ELEVEN MILE
WALK FROM SPRING
HILL.

Two OF our young men, Andrew
DIETER known as George Zeitler,
and Jim" Ridley, journeyed to Nash
vile Thursday via the automobile
route, and after witnessing the Com
modores' sad defeat-get a sponge
handkerchief won't do-they start
ed back down the home stretch. They
experienced no trouble until just this
side of Spring Hill, when the id
old engine" went dead on them.
Just at this stage of the climax,
two friends passed in an auto, and
assured them that they would send
help from town. The aforementioned
young men took their seat in the car
to await help, but old Jack Frost"
was little too argumentative for
them, so they decided to get out and
walk toward Columbia, expecting to
be met with the said help before they
had covered many miles.
Poor George had on a new pair Of
shoes, which were whipping" his
feet, and hearing many strange nois-
es along the way, his fear got the bet
ter of him, and he took off his ring
and put it in his shoe, fearing hold
up. However, if he had just kept his
Vanderbilt colors on, no one would
have tried to get any money off of
him, but he did not think of this.
Well, this sad pair walked the
whole stretch of eleven miles to town,
but only after much trouble, as
Georges Engine" went dead on him
several times on account of the new
shoes, and the ring, which he placed
in his English walkers" wore all the
skin mother nature gave him off his
pedal extremities. They were both out
this morning, though a little worse
for wear

HAM PSHIiRE.

1t is a time honored custom with
the women all up and down this beau
tiful valley to give all of their Sun
day laid eggs to a home mission
fund for parsonage Improvement 1t
is astonishing how busy the Biddys
get all on a Sunday morning. How
fine to hear them say Here's one for
parsonage improvement" Even the
old ROSTERS seem to say I'm for
home MISSIONS"
Let us get in line, feed our hens
well and not gather the eggs too
close on Saturday evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morelock want to ex-
press their appreciation Of the cor
dial welcome given them by the peo-
pie of Hampshire and Cross Bridges,
and for the many kindnesses and
thoughtful courtesies extended since
then. The pantry shower has been
general, continuous and refreshing,
almost amounting to a waterspout, at
times. The good women with eyes
quick to see a neighbours needs and
hearts and hands quick to meet it,
with flying fingers, have fashioned
many we'll chosen garments for the
preacher, the wife and the entire
large assortment of very small chill
dren. All of these things are very
much enjoyed and greatly appreciat-
ed.
All of the young ladies and women
of the countryside are cordially in
vited to join the mission study circle,
recently organized under the able
leadership of Mrs. Minnie Parks. We
meet at the parsonage at 1870 p. m.
on Tuesday after the first and third
Sundays of each month.

UNITED STATES AND SOUTH
AMERICA MAY ENTER PROTEST

Nations of South American Will Ask
United States to Approve of Some
Plan of Ending Trouble, Which Is
very Annoying and Vexing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The
United States government has been
asked by the principal South Ameri-
Can nations to cooperate with them in
negotiations with European belliger-
ehts to bring about exclusion of all
Delligerent warships from the waters
Of the two Americas and safeguard
the trade of Pan-American countries
with each other.
Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay
have laid their suggestions before the
Washington government, while the
Brazilian government is considering
taking a similar step. Virtually all
the Central and South American
countries have been circularized by
some of the principal nations, result
ing ma series of diplomatic confer
ences in Washington and the capitals
of South America, which are now in
progress.
While the proposals are different
in character and scope, they will seek
the same end-the restoration of the
trade between North and South Amer
lea, paralyzed by the European war.
The movement also has for it's OBJ
ject the removal of possible causes of
serious friction between the countries
of this hemisphere and the European
belligerents on questions of neutrali-
ty.
Already Chile, Ecuador and Colon
bia have had serious difficulties with
the belligerents over the use of wire
less and the coaling Of foreign war
ships, whose presence in the Allan
tic and Pacific is growing obnoxious
to South American countries.
None of the antions which have
made suggestions is committed tn any
particular plan, but all seek cooper
alton by the United States. The i'm
petus that will make any plan effec-
tive, it is recognized, rests with Presi-
dent Wilson.
The various plans thus far commu-
nicated to the United States are as
follows:
l. The establishment of neutral
zones on the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of North and South America,
within which the belligerens shall be
asked to agree not to engage in hos
tilities.
2. The convocation of a general
conference of diplomatic representa-
tives and commercial delegates of all
American countries with powers to
vote on steps which can be taekn to
protect and restore Pan-American
trade.
8. The appointment by the Pan
American union of a commission to
recommend steps that would remove
dangers to Pan-American trade.
t. Prohibition by all nations of the
two Americas of the privilege hith-
erto exercised both belligerents coal
ing in neutral ports, or the issuance
of only a sufficient quantity Of coal
to enable a belligerent vessel to reach
the nearest port of another country.

OUACKENBOS DOUBTS
LODGES ABILITY TO
CONVERSE WITH DEAD
THINKS HIS CONCENTRATION ON
PSYCHIC RESEARCH HAD TO
HALLUClNATIONS.
TELLS PSYCHIC EXPERIENCES
Has Seen Women Lay Hands on Pr
amos and Raise Them From the
FIoor-Possess Some Nervous, Mys-
FERROUS Power.

NEW YORK, NOV. 27.-Dr. John d.
Quackenbos, former Columbia profes-
sor and noted investigator of physi
cal subjects is unwilling to accept,
on Sir Oliver Lodges statement alone
the fact that he has communicated
with spirits of the departed" Dr.
Quackenbos is a member of the or
ganization of which Sir oliver is pres.
ident, the Society for Psychical Re-
search.
Il am an old agnostic about spir
it's" he said last night. ''In all of my
investigation of mediums and others
who claim power to communicate
with the dead, | have never seen any.
thing resembling a ghost.
I'm my mind, there is no doubt but
that Sir Oliver Lodge, in his recent
statement that he had talked with the
spirits of his friends, is sincere and
genuine. But one must take into
consideration that Sir oliver is a man
who has concentrated his entire life
upon one single topic-that of immor.
tally, and of spirits.
1T is possible that he may be,
through his scientific methods, on the
eve of a great discovery-that of tell
ing us what the great psychic force
is. l know no scientist working to-
day who could come any nearer this
occult secret than he.
"If this is true, it will mean a rev.
olution of the vastest significance.
If, by his skill in science, Sir Oliver
is able to communicate with the dead,
it must follow that by the same meth
DDS, he should be able, even more
easily, to communicate by thought,
with the living. This will make tele-
phones, kilograms and the wireless
absolutely out of date, and useless!
I'm my own experience l have seen
WOuuCu oo oulSudl ecu Will ILLS DSy-
chic power that by laying their hand
upon piano, they could make it raise
from the floor. This sounds almost
unbelievable; yet l can substantiate
it with infallible proof and witnesses.
The people who possess this mystic
rious power, made acute under ner-
vous excitement, do not themselves
understand it.
For the most part they believe
themselves aided by spirits. l will
confess that they do some wonderful
things. But they are wonderful only
because we do not understand them.
The great mistake which these per-
sons make is that they take the
supernormal for the supernatural.
"As for seeing spirits I do not
doubt that they sincerely believe that
they do see them. By simply chang
ing the word spirit to 'hallucina-
tons This, believe, is what actu-
ally occurs. | do not say that Sir Oh
iver's concentration upon one line of
research has made him subjected to
such Authorizations, but | do think
that such is altogether possible"

EXPLANATION CT
ADMISSION FEE,
PROF. HARRIS STATES THERE
WAS NO ATTEMPT TO CATCH
THE PEOPLE.

AS some kicks have been made in
regard to the price of admission to
the Columbia High School-Military
Academy game Thursday afternoon at
Riverside Park, Prof. R. L. Harris
made the following statement this
morning:
Il am sorry that the question of the
admission fee has been raised. | re-
greet that some thought that we were
trying to pinch" them by charging
fifty cents at the gate. Heretofore,
at most of the games, only twenty
five cents has been charged. Howev-
err, as this was Thanksgiving game,
and at some of the games on the Mill
tary Academy field a half dollar has
been charged, we felt justified in
charging the latter price for this
special game. We were not attempt
ing at all to catch the people, as on
the face of it, such tactics would be
ruinous to us in the future. To those
who asked us before the game what
would be the price of admission, we
stated the price and there were no
kicks"

ULSTER|TES TAKE
OATH TO RESIST
IRISH PARLIAMENT
Sir Edward Carson, UniOniSt
Leader, Directs Meeting in
Belfast Which May Mean
Civil War in British Isles.

BELFAST. Ireland July 10
When the proper time comes We
are prepared to translate words into
action"
This significant statement was
made this afternoon by Sir Edward
Carson. leader of the anti-hOme rule
for Ireland following the first meet
ing of the members of the Ulster
provisional government.
THE Ulster volunteer force is pre-
pared for immediate mobilization, ."
Sir Edward continued The volun-
teers, 100000 strong, are we'll
equipped with arms and ammuni-
ton
The Belfast authorities have
drafted one hundred reserves in ad-
dition TO the regular police and po-
lice reserve force to assist in keeping
order on Sunday, Orangemen's day.
1t was given out that the object OF
the meeting was TO form plans for ag
gressive action on the part of the
anti-home rulers in the north of Ire
land but it was expected by all that
the discussion Of uniOnists' policies
would finally narrow down 10 the
simple question:
Shall IL be peace of civil WARP"
Welcome Sir Edward.
The arrival Of Sir Edward i'm Bel
fast was made a gala occasion by his
followers and the members of the
Ulster volunteers. Thousands of
Orangemen crowded the streets about
the railway station and shops and del
egations bore placards and banners
prOclaiming the adherence of Ulster
province to the crown.
Five hundred armed members of
the Ulster volunteer forces formed a
guard of honor which escorted the
unionist leader from the railway sta
ton TO Craigavon. They were flank
ed by dispatch bearers on bicycles.
The procession was headed by a
brass band.
Fearing that disorder would result
from the excitement of the occasion.
the authorities had the streets filed
with police, but these officers were
under orders to do nothing which
would precipitate rioting. Sir Ed
ward was loudly cheered as his auto
mobile passed through the crowded
streets and he acknowledged these
greetings with a military salute.
Asquith Called to London.
1t is significant that Premier AS
quith in his official capacity. was hur-
riedly summoned TO London for an
interview An outbreak OF hostilities
would not surprise the British gov
ernment.
Ine unlOnlSJS AT the conference dJ
Craigavon pledged themselves to up
hold the constitution of the Ulster
provisional government no matter
what the consequences were. One Of
the chief provisions of the constitu-
ton is a solemn declaration that an
Irish parliament will never be recOg-
nized by Ulster.
There are grave fears that the long
expected outbreak will come on sun
hi faI &c hn
anniversary OF the battle of the Boyne.
Big demonstrations are being planned
throughout all the north OF Ireland by
antl-home rulers.
