ONLY 2 COYTENDERS
FOR STATE HON0RS
NeFberry is Eliminated by the Clta-
dal After a Hard Fought Game.
Clemson Is Easy Winner.

News and Courier.
The weeks play in South Carolina
football narrowed the contenders for
the State title down to two eleVens
the Citadel and Clemson. Neither OF
these teams has lost to South Caro-
lima institutions on the gridiron this
fall and preparations will now be
pushed for the battle when the Tiger
and Bull Dog meet at Orangeourg No
vember 16.
Newberry's showing against the Cit
adel was the real surprise OF the
week, the Lutherans scoring one
touchdown more than either the Uni
versity Of Georgia. the Presbyterian
College Of South Carolina or Davidson
was able to do. Switzer displayed
great form in his rushes, gaining more
ground than probably all the other
men on the field in straight line
plunging.
That the Citadel was scored on and
threatened with tie or defeat was
due to its lack Of defense able to
cope with the forward passes Of the
Lutherans while the Cadets we're un-
able to make theirs work with any
great degree of success. The visitors
failed 10 make first down during the
entire game and their defense was an
especially strong one against the over
head attack. 1t clearly demonstrated
that Jimmie Driver had been working
since reading the accounts of the Cit
adel-Davidson game.

assured, that before the Clemson game

ALCOHOL AND MORTALITY
What exact relation alcohol has to
mortality is not known. Recent in
vestigations are fairly correct in the
phases they represent. Jaquet's
efforts in France shows it's relation to
infant mortality. He separated the
patients he examined in three classes.
The first group were those who con-
sumed one quart of wine day and
the mortality among their children
was 1877 per cent; the second group
were those who consumed from one
and one-half quarts to two quarts
of wine a day, and the mortality
among their children was 26 per cent;
the third group were those who con-
sumed above two quarts of wine a
day, and the mortality among their
children was 55.4 per cent.
Half the children dying in Paris
during the period from 1903 to 1914
were under II years. Congential de-
bility was responsible for 1892
deaths. The Investigators assume
the alcoholism of the parents were
responsible for that large proportion,
basing their beliefs on Jaquet's re-
suits. In the non-alcoholic parts of
France the tuberculosis mortality
rate is 1.95 per 1000 inhabitants;
where the consumption of alcohol is
strong the rate is 2.61 per 1000.
Phelps estimates alcohol caused,
directly or indirectly, in the U. S. dur
ing 1908, $4,000 deaths, or 81 per

POLAR LIGHTS VISIBLE.

A beautiful display Of the aurora
borealis was witnessed here last Sat-
urday evening. The northern sky was
illuminated for hours with shafts and
clouds Of light. The long streams of
light flashed across the sky like the
rays from a battery of search lights.
Clouds of light took various forms
and at times filled the whole north
ern sky from the horizon to the zen
ith. Similar displays were visible
in all parts of the middle west. The
disturbance, which is electric in its
origin, was so intense as to severely
interfere with the wires of the tel
egraph companies.

SCHOOLS OPEN NEXT MONDAY.
Manchester Schools are Rapidly Com
ing to the Front.

The Manchester public schools open
for the years work next Monday. 1t
is probable that more students will
take advantage OF the facilities Of
fered than ever before. OF late years
local educational institutions have
come rapidly to the front and stu
dents from all over the county now
take their school work here.
Last year the schools were somewhat
congested and it became necessary to
put in an extra grade. New schools
have been erected now however and
this fault Is remedied.
J. s. Hilliard, the new supreinten-
dent has secured the services Of an
exceptional group OF teachers, and
parents can res tassured that their
children will be In the hands Of thor
oughly competent instructors. Mr..
H illiard came here very highly rec
commended for efficiency, and as he has
devoted his whole life to school work
it Is assured that the Manchester
schools will progress as never be-
fore. Mr.. Hililard belongs to the new
class Of educators who believe in
keeping abreast Of the times and not
dropping into the "old fogy" class.
This fact will mean much to those
who contemplate work In the local
schools as it means they will be un-
der the supervision Of man who un-
derstands education from every stand
point and who will be quick to realize
the standpoint Of the youthful mind.
