The gasoline famine which hit this
section last week has passed for the
time being. For a day or so there was
no gasoline for sale in Greenville,
Easlcy or Pickens and many automo-
hiles were idle on account of it. The
shortage was caused by the railroads
having more business than they could
handle and were unable to deliver
gasoline which had been ordered.

TEAM ROUNDING INTO SHAPE.
Local High School Football Squad
Working Diligently-Cecil Lee.
Elected Captain.

The first football game of the
season was played at Glenwood On
Saturday afternoon, resulting in a
score of 9-5 in favor of Glenwood.
1t has been reported that the game
was lively and a good one and that
Sank Centre showed up well. The
handicap that possibly influenced the
outcome of the game was that during
the last quarter, one of the star play
ers, Alphonse Bentfeld, was taken
out. The reason for this was that he
was recently injured in a practice
and it was thought best not to take
the risk of overtaxing his strength.
Season tickets are being sold this
week for the coming home games.
They are at reasonable figure and
even thought you do not intend to
attend the games, buy one for the
sake of the boys. Football is the
game that is the least supported by
this city. This no doubt, is on ac-
coun tot the distance to the field.
Make a special effort this year to
see a game OF Two. Inc HlSH SCIioOl
has good material and good material
makes a good game.
The boys are now in charge of
Coach Schwartz, recently elected
principal of the high school, and are
fast rounding into shape for effective
work. Cecil Lee, the star right halt
of the team, and veteran player has
been elected captain of this years

cally exempted by the selective draft

Siberian Convict
Inspires Russians

army in the woody Carpathians is a
former convict from Siberia, whose ex-
ample. inspired an attack by forces
which heretofore had obdurately re-
fused to charge. The ex convict, whose
rank is sergeant. led fifty volunteers
in rush on a German blindage The
attacking party, confused by heavy fire,
wavered, whereupon the sergeant alone
climbed the breastworl<s and hurled a
bomb among the enemy Attacked by
three Germans he sabered and shot
two Of them. Then with only eighteen
followers, several strongly held blind
ages We're rushed. This produced gem
eral panic among the enemy and re-
suited in the capture of many pris-
oners.
The sergeant was given an officers
commission, two regiments invited him
to take command and the whole of his
division resolved TO participate in an
offensive.
