ATHLETICS
EDITOR.

Last Friday, Dec. 5, furious storm
broke over Spencer's basketball floor
between wellington and Spencer. Be-
fore the boys game the grade girls
played and they beat them by a score
of 9 to II. When the boys game came
on the outcome was not looked upon
as being very favorable. The yelling
ton boys had plenty of weight and
height. but for all that the game
started off very well, many of Spen-
GERS onlookers wondering If they had
come to play football instead Of bas-
ket ball, because they had 16 men out
in suits. The game went on until the
last quarter when it became very fast,
rough and furious. Every one played
the game striving to uphold his
schools honor. 1t was in this quarter
that everyone held their breath as
Wellington's score was getting too un-
favorably close when all of a sudden
amid the din and roaring the whistle
blew, and the game was ended with
score of II to IL in favor of Spen-
GER So far Spencer has won every
game this season including both girls
and boys and we hope to keep it up
although that is not very probable.
1t will be on Friday, Dec. IL, that
Spencer will again clash with Well
ington at Wellington. 1t is suspected
that this will be a much harder battle
as they will have the advantage Of US
ing their own floor.

NV Experience With An Automobile
Late one autumn afternoon, having

to the garage to find 1 had fiat tire:
| changed the tire and at last backed
the car out of the drive.
1t was necessary for me to drive
slowly while in the city, but after
reaching the outskirts I drove more
swiftly. Just as l rounded a curve in
the road l had only time to put on
the brakes to keep from running into
a car that was sitting by the roadside:
The owner of the car hailed me and
asked me if he could borrow my tool
kit. 1 was glad to oblige him and sat
patiently in the car for about nfteen
minutes while he worked with his car.
Hoping nothing else. would interrupt
me, / drove on slowly enjoying Ihe
scenery. 1 was about seven miles
from town when my engine suddenly
stopped. On investigation found that
I was out Of gasoline. AS there was
no house in sight I decided to walt
until some car came by and then ask
them to lend me some gasoline.
I sat there about twenty minutes
when 1 was delighted to see two men
come walking down the road toward
me. When they came near me got
out of the car and was about to ad-
dress them when one OF the men
raised his hat and asked me II
would be so kind as to lend him some
gasoline. l laughed and said l would

EDITORIAL

School is going off in fine shape this
year. Everyone seems happy and busy.
Don't you remember what grand
success our Fair was? The lecture
course tickets went like hot cakes.
Our basket ball games are well at
tended, and several mothers find time
to attend the Friday afternoon literary
societies. Surely these results show
that the parents of Spencer township
are interested in our school, and want
to make it a success
Cooperation between parents and
the school Is as important as team
work in the basket ball. With every
parent interested and working for a
common goal--the betterment Of the
school-we are bound to win, but
without it the game Is surely lost.
What pupil will not do better work
if he knows that father and mother
are interested? The teacher also will
be able to do more for your child for
she will know that you the backing
her. Then as pupils let us remember
that it is much more important what
our teachers think of us, than what
we think of our them.
Remembering this and acting ac-
cordingly, fewer teachers will leave
the school room bald. grey and ner-
vous wrecks.

Tobacco Houses
May Close Soon
More Than Seven Million
Pounds of Tobacco Sold
Already This Season.

Tobacco men state that there is at
least two hundred thousand pounds
of tobacco in the county that has not
been sold yet, and it is hoped to get
this FRAGILE end Of the crop in and
sold during the next ten days of two
weeks. The unfavorable season just
now is keeping much tobacco from
being marketed, but with good rain
during the next few days, the re-
mainder of the crop is expected to
be rushed to market. Buyers are
growing impatient and want to re-
turn to their homes, and for this rea-
son it is suggested that farmers who
have tobacco on hands yet should get
it to market at the very earliest pos
sible moment.
Figures to date show that there has
been more than seven million pounds
Of tobacco sold on the Greenevllle
market since 1t opened TINS season.
This is almost double the amount sold
asst year. These figures include the
fre-cured or bright tobacco that was
sold before the hurley market open
3D. AS is well known, prices this sea-
son have gone beyond the expecta-
tions of everyone. So well pleased
have been tobacco growers, that it
is estimate@ that the crop this year
will be more than double in this inn
mediate section, and the same thing
can be said of other counties growing
hurley. With anything like fay
season and a good stand, Greeneville
should sell fifteen million pounds OF
tobacco this fall and winter.

AGeneral Swarree
Late Last Night

Sheriff Renner reports general
swarree late last night near the
Doughty crossing, in north Greene
Vile. Three Washington county
young men, riding in Ford car, were
attacked by a number of colored
boys from Greeneville. The white
boys were pretty badly beaten up, the
car was smashed and badly damaged
and the citizens Of that section of the
city had about come to the conclu-
sion that the war had been renewed
and that Hindenburg and his forces
we're bearing down upon the town.
Officers appeared upon the scene in
due time and the trouble was soon
over. Several arrests have already
been made and no doubt many more
will follow soon.
