CASEY OF HAVARD ONE
OF FOOTBALLS MARVELS

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. Eddie Casey, the
young backfield star Of Harvard, is
one Of the most remarkable football
Layers OF an age. His weight, 155
pounds, is the only thing that keeps
him from being rated on par with
Oliphant of the Army or Harley Of
Ohio State.
A graduate of Exeter, the school
where Tad Jones drilled football play
and made them future greats before
he took up his duties with Yale, Casey
went to Harvard, insisted that he was
q football player, and made it stick
despite his lightness. Percy Haugh-
ton sprung him on Cornell with a sur
prise that was so sudden Cornell
hasn't fully recovered its breath yet.
He simply ran amuck.
Against Princeton Casey again did
some starring, and he virtually was
the entire Harvard backfield in the
game with Yale. Given a real good
backfield star to help him out, Casey
might have kept up that string of
victories for the Crimson loved the
New Haven bulldogs.
Casey isn't of the plunglag, smash

CAMPAIGN is PLANNED
(By nited Press

Washington. Dec. with an open
challenge for a complete expose CT
any pork schemes, engineered un-
der the 2uise of rivers and harbors
legislation, the thirteenth annual con
vention Of the National Rivers and
fiarbors Congress convened here to-
day
If anyone knows the challenge

and that an appropriation is sought
solely to promote the political for
tunes of some senator or representa-
tive, he viii be given an opportunity
to publicly name the man.
"However, if a man from Maine
criticises a project in California, he
will be expected to tell how he hap
pens to know so much about things
1000 or 5000 miles away
The congress is to be addressed by
Secretary Of War Newton d. Baker,
lrder whose jurisdiction waterways
projects are administered.
Speakers are expected to emphasize
the present coal shortage as Indicative
of inadequate transportation and urge
development Of inland rivers of coal
mining districts.
"On the headwaters of one Of our
greatest rivers" a preliminary state
ment said, Coal mines have been COM
PEELED to close, for lack Of transpor-
tation, while cities lower down the
river have paid famile prices for coal"
The congress will attack the ''vacil-
lating waterways policy of the United
States and urge some definite, cor
structive schedule Of rivers and har-
bors improvement.

chief Of operations Of the navy, will

any such tactics in his play. But he
can hit a line, and hit it hard. He
is a good ground gamer anywhere. His
specially. however, is the long, swoop-
ing end runs, eluding lunches of tack
iers, spinning and twisting forward for
gains almost unbelievable.
Against Yale Casey showed to ex-
client advantage when he broke around

tacklers into his sprint, running into
another nest after a 30-yard dash,

JOE GRANTS FATE
is WITH GOV. MANNING.
Negro Who Killed Johnston Merchant

Interferes.

The fate of Joe Frant, the Edge
field county negro, who was convicted
recently on the charge of murder and
sentenced to be electrocuted, is with
Gov. Manning. Attorneys represent
ing Grant appeared before the State
board of pardons last week and asked
that the death sentence be commuted
to life term. The pardon board has
filed its report with Gov. Manning,
but no announcement has been made
as to whether clemency was recon,
mended. If the governor does not
interfere, Grant will be electrocuted
( -pril y14ssstkgis- attorneys will not ap-
peal to the supreme court for a new
trial, it is said.
Grant killed well known merchant
at Johnston in 1906. He escaped to
Pennsylvania and made a long fight
against extradition. He is now in the
death house at the State prison.

25 CENTS DESTROYS
YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save Your Hair. Make 1t Thick,
Wavy and Beautiful-Try
This.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first APP
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is
so beautiful. 1t will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance of
an Incompatible gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after few weeks use,
when you will actually see lot Of
fine, downy hair--new hair-growing
all over the scalp.

WALLACE CHAPTER, u. ID. C..
Continued from page one, Part II)

16-year-old Union county boys, COM
manded by Captain d. A. Townsend.
There are several men of this COM
pany living today. Think what it
must have meant to my grandmother
to see her baby and last son out of
seven march off with the possibility
of never returning alive
These boys went in box cars to Au-
gusta, from there to near Savannah,
Georgia. They went lin front of
Sherman to Charleston, thence to Che
raw, where they guarded 500 Yankee
prisoners Captured by General Hamp-
tom and took them to Raleigh, N. c.,
and there turned them over to the mil
itary authorities. This company of
boys were sent to Spartanburg, S. c.,
to resist the coming of Kirkpatrick's
raid who had captured Boyce's arti1-
lery at Asheville, N. c., but the news
came that Lee had surrendered and
the boys disbanded to come home
where each one later had to give np
his beloved gun to the Yankee garri-
son placed here after few months.
Immediately after the war Major
ID. A. townsend began to teach
school in building on the same lot
where my home is now, at the cor
ner of Church and McBeth streets,
and these same soldier boys were his
pupils.
Amos Davis Byers. Volunteered
and served during the entire war. He
was courier for General Wallace
(our U. d. c. chapters namesake). L.
He surrendered at Appomatox, and is
buried at Skull Shoals in Cherokee
county, which was part of Union
county 20 years ago. Ee died Oc-
tober 23rd, 1883.
William Byers. Who also is buried
at Skull Shoals, was in Con ,pany "C",
18th Regiment, and was paroled at
Appomatox April 9th, 1865. He served
the entire four years of the war.
