Only three of the ten competitors for

NORMAL WON
FINAL GAME
LAST NIGHT
Morris-Haryey Beaten in
Last Home Game of
Present Season.

At the end of the first half last night
in the game between Morris Harvey
college and the Normal stood at tie
I'LL, but after the rest period the To-
cal lads started to play better basket
ball and pulled away from the visitors,
taking the game by the final count of
1920. The game was interesting all
the way and the visitors played a
brand of ball that was very creditable
to them.
Not very large crowd turned out
for the farewell session at home of the
Normal bunch, but this was due no
doubt to the fact that weather condi-
lions were anything but good for going
away from the family fireside. A young
blizzard was roaring outside and many
fans elected to stay by the stove rath.
er than face the wintry blasts.
Hamilton and Knight were the stars
for the home team while Land was the
big little fellow for the visitors. This
slender and smal boy could sure get
over the floor fast and was a cracking
good shot at any old angle. He made
five of the seven field goals made by
Morris Harvey and was the directing
force in all their play.
The work of the visiting team was
quite surprise to many Of the spec
tators who had figured they would be
rather easy picking. After week of
playing on the road and on strange
! floors; with several Of the regulars out
of the game Morris Harvey need feel
no shame over the showing made here.
| A good preliminary game was staged
between the All Stars OF this city and
the Warrington Independents. The
visitors were loading in the first half
by one point, but the locals came back
strong in the second period and took
the battle with ease. Some we'll

For four years the schools have been
running short $4,000 per annum,

The school treasury is now as emp y

The reason more money cannot be
borrowed is because the law wiz not

schools cannot be run forever on

secure money for schools is by taxa

REGRETS EXPRESSED AT:
CHOICE OF HARDING
Senators Lenroot and Kenyon Ex-
press Dissatisfaction
mo CHANCE FOR JOHNSON"
Kenyon Declares Democrats Will
Name Either McAdoo, Marshall
or Cox.

Superior, Wis, June 15.-While ex-
pressing regret at the nomination of
Senator aHrding by the Republican
convention, Senator l. l.. Lenroot, of
Wisconsin, in statement here today
declared that "in this situation there
can be but one choice, it seems to me,
and that is to heartily support the
Republican tick~t."
SyaR'I frankly regret the choice of the
'Wgpublican convention as / believe a
I an who had been allied with the
+ ,eral wing Of the party should have
zen selected" Senator Lenroot said.
"However, Senator Harding, is a
most lovable man, Of the Mckinley
type, and makes friends easily.
"There is dissatisfaction upon the
part of Progressives but they must
choose between supporting the Repub-
lican ticket and having another four
years of Democratic rule and all that
it implies. In this situation there can
be but one choice, it seems to me- and
that is to heartily support the Repub-
lican ticket"
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-06-16
Kenyon Disappointed.

Ft. Dodge, Iowa, June 15.-Senator
w. S. Kenyon who has returned to his
nome here for rest, declared today
that he was disappointed because "the
Republicans failed to nominate Pro
gressive FOR President" but said he
was willing to take the stump to help
insure a Republican victory in No
vember. Prior to the convention Sen
ator Kenyon campaigned for johnson.
"The people are so disgusted with
the Wilson administration" said Sen
ator Kenyon, "that they will elect
Harding The Republicans, however
may as we'll get over the idea that the
election is cinch and it behooves
every Republican to buckle down to
hard work fo rthe ticket. Governor
Coolidge's nomination for Vice Presi-
dent strengthens the ticket in the East
and undoubtedly throughout the whole
country. As usual, the country west
Of the Mississippi is forgotten, but
that part Of the country also will be
forgotten by the Democrats. Either
McAdoo, Marshall or Cox will be
named by the Democrats.
"The most disappointing part of the
Republican convention was to see the
delegates unable to act until they re-
ceived word from sick boss in Phila-
delphia. There will be strange par
allel at San Francisco when the dele
gates will await word from sick
Aboss TT Washington. There never was
"a chance in this boss controlled con-
yention for man of Hiram Johnson's
type"
