USELESS SEARCH

State Geologist Says No Oil in South

That South Carolina has no pctro-

the opinion of Stephen Tabor, state
geologi's and head of the department.
of geology at the University of South
Carolina.
Prospecting for oil has been carried
on in several parts Of the state in
the past few months, among these
places being Marlboro county and
Johns Island, Charleston and in most
OF these cases results have shcwn
that there is no oil, the state geolo-
gist says. South Carolina's rock
strata are not the oil producing kind,
especially the rock beds in the Pied
mont section. "Oil has never been
found in commercial quantities in old,
crystalline rocks such as the gneisses
and schists which occur throughout
the Piedmont section Of the state, and
from what geologists have learned
concerning the origin and accumula-
tion foil in rocks it is hopeless to
search for oil in the these formations
Professor Taber says.

suitable beds for the occurrence of Pc
troleum and it's products, but no owl
dence that would indicate its presence

been discovered in spite of the fact
that these formations have been pros

Due to the demand for gasoline and

where there is little or no Likelihood
of finding it." ..

MURPHY TRAINS
FOR BOUT HERE
Chicago Sailor MiddIeweight Work
ing Hard for Battle with Row
lands Here March 20.

Tommy Murphy, stockyards sail
or boxer of Chicago, is not under
estimating Len R0wlands, his OPP
ponent in this city March 20, ac-
cording to a letter Received this
morning from his brother and man
ager, Ed Murphy. Ed writes:
Having enjoyed a two weeks
rest, StoCkyards Tommy Murphy,
Chicago's sensational Irish middle
weight, has started training for his
scrap March 20 with Len RowIands
in Babe Meanor's arena at Rock Is
land.
although Rock Island fans may
think they saw Murphy at his best
when he spilled Bob York in three
rounds, the fact of the matter is
+Eat he was a bit drawn and under
a strain because of his constant
fighting. Brother and manager,
Ed. after CLOSING with Promoter
Meanor, for Rowlands, called off a
battle at Superior, Wis, with Jack
Hughes of Milwaukee, so that Tom
my could get much-needed rest.
The Hughes mill was to have taken
place Feb. 81, one week after the
York upset.
Murphy weighed 161 pounds the
afternoon of the York scrap. Right
now he is up to 165. When he an
swers the gong to trade punches
with Rowlands he will scale be-
tween 158 and $50 pounds.
Tommy has a grudge against
anything from Milwaukee. AL
though he has been fighting about
the country for four years, the Beer
city promoters would never offer
him a match. He went so far as to
offer to battle anyone they select
ed, preferably Milwaukee talent,
for nothing He named Bob Mocha,
the cave man, and Rowlands. Tom
my doesn't think that ROwlands or
Gfaha lodged him, but adds that it
is a bit peculiar neither would mix
with him in a ring outside Wis
consin
"Rowlands ought to have some
thing on Murphy in speed, but
Tommy fears none of them. He
declares that he can catch any MAJ
in 10 rounds and that once they are
caught he will lean that awful
right hand punch against their
chin. The blow that upset York
travelled only six inches. If Muir
ply ever gets more leverage be-
hind it and rests it on Rowland's
expression, Len will curl up and
pass away"
