THE BLUE JACKETS.

The Blue Jackets, the coach base
ball team about which we wrote last
week, has got into action. Friday
they met the team of the sixth grade
on the High School Diamond in a
big game. The line up was as fol-
lows:
Blue Jackets; Sixth Grade
Hugh Bradley, C Theron McLesky
Foster Bradley, P Billy Long
Jack Bradley, 1B Allen Long
Foster Barnwell, 2 B Lem Lawson
Bob Dargan 3B Edwin Barksdale
Donald Harris, SS Geo. Smith
Willie Bowie, r. F. Francis Glenn
Harold Tate, C. F. Lewis Deadwyler
Renwick Bradley, L. F. n. Addie
The sixth grade had made great
reparations for the game, and they
put up a stiff fight, but they were
unable to solve the delivery Of
pitcher Foster Bradley, whose wing
was Hopping right The score was
is to IL in favor of the Blue Jack
cts. ~
Saturday afternoon Corporal Hap
Seal having heard Of the invincible
Blue Jackets, got picked nine to-
gether and issued a challenge which
was promptly accepted. The game
was staged at the same place at
8 80 o'clock in the afternoon. AS
on Friday afternoon, the wing Of
pitcher Bradley was in flying shape
and he sent the Corporals team
home looking worse than fishing
smock after it had been shot by a
German submarine.
Jack Bradley, of Greenville street,
is the business manager Of the Blue
Jackets, and also press agent. He
invited US to give the above write
up Of the games, but told ts not to
make the Blue Jackets look too
strong as by so doing we might
scare off other teams from issuing
challenges.

PLANT FOOD CROPS.

It is apparent that we are to be
at actual war with Germany before
many more days. The President, il
is stated will call for a million vol.
unteers for the army, while great
'enerts are being put forth to fully
man and equip the navy.
y All Of this means that tremendous
demands will be made upon the
country for, food products. Thous-
ands of men will be taken from the
farms, for army and navy service,
who otherwise would be producing
crops, and other thousands will &c
to the munition factories, and othe,
industrial establishments.
All Of this means that there will
be great scarcity of the things we
eat, and a consequent increasing de.
mand for products of all kinds.
Such being the case, we can but
employ our efforts, feeble though
they be, in urging the people Of
Abbeville county to prepare for the
day of trial which is upon us. Ev'
cry man can at least make himself
and his family free from the condi'
tions which are to be by raising
bread and meat at home. No man
will be safe from embarrassment
who fails to do 80.
Todsy is the day for needing the
warning. The lands are now being
prepared for crops The oats and

wheat crops have been killed. We
are short in grain already. Let
every man, every farmer, plant at
least three to five acres more in
corn than heretofore on each one
horse farm. If they will do this,
there will be at least a means of
subsistence in the land; if they fail,
want will knock at many doors Of
the county.

HIGH TAXES.

The Abbeville Medium, The Press
and Banner and the Greenwood Jour-
nal are 'crying aloud and sparing
not" on the score of high taxes. The
last legislature put up the taxes two
mills. The gentlemen who were
prominent in this matter in the leg
islature ought to be left at home.
We have been told that some of
them will be left at home. They
deserve to be.-A. r. Presbyterian.

STREET BUILDING.

AT the last session OF Ghe GeneEal
Assembly provision was made for
voting on a proposed amendment to
the constitution which would allow
the city of Abbeville to issue bonds
up to fifteen per cent. of the assess
ed valuation of our property for
the purpose of making permanent
improvements. The people will de-
termine whether they desire to
stand the necessary expense of max
ing these improvements at the pro-
per time, as well as the matter of
assessing abutting property holders
for a portion Of the expense.
But it will be two years before
anything can be done under this
amendment, even if it is adopted.
While we are waiting we suggest
that it would be good time for the
city authorities to try out the mat
ter of making these streets. out of
top-soil, clay, etc., according to
the process employed in making the
permanent roads in the up-country.
We see that the people Of Green
vile are seriously considering build
ing some of the streets of that city
according to this plan, and while
there is objection there, it is appar-
ent that the plan is worth consider
ing.
The roads built in Greenville
county have stood the winter wea-
ther and promise good results to
the people Of the county. These
roads have been built at q cost Of
something like a thousand dollars
per mile. Paved streets will cost,
according to an estimate we have
secured, about thirty thousand dol
lars per mile. It is evident that the
wide difference in these figures
makes it worth while to consider
whether we may not employ the less
expensive plan Of building our
streets, with profit to ourselves.
The public square and those streets
on which the heavy traffic is handled
will need to be paved, but if we can
build roads at even two or five
thousand dollars per mile, which will
meet the requirements on other
streets, it is advisable to make the
experiment.
Main street might be improved in
this way from the city limits on one
side Of town to the city limits on
the other side, and the road given
the test of the two years we are to
wait on needed legislation. By that
time we could say whether these
streets are desirable for our pur-
poses or not; if they are not, the
small amount of money spent in
constructing them will be returned
at least in part in the improved con-
ditions of this street in the mean
time.
In this way we will get rid Of the
waste of hauling sand on the streets
TO which we have before alluded. A
more expensive dressing: fer the;
roads will prove cheaper: ih t eKa'
run if it shall appearthat there Il;
some permanency to the work done.

Nothing New in the Way of
Strategy Developed This
Season on Cridiron.

Unless the football critics OF the
country overlooked bet somewhere
the season Of 1917 developed nothing
new in the way Of gridiron strategy
At least, there was no special mem
ton made Of the new plays which
could be stamped as the vintage OF
1917.
Many old-time plays. particularly
the criss-cross. were brought out Of
the archives AMI used by many teams.
Penn used the play against Cornell
and also used a play in which a for
ward pass was developed out OF the
lateral pass. This play was particu-
larly successful against Cornell
Jesse Harper. the Notre Dame men
tor, gave his backs q set OF dancing
signals which were discOncertinE TO

the plays which have been used for
the past two or three years.
Coaches for the most part were
compelled to deal with green material
and for this reason, perhaps, did not
care 10 try many new wrinkles.
