Still Kicking.

The Anderson Daily Tribune is
still kicking about the "rotten deal"
it says was handed the Anderson Hi
football team by refereen "Red" Nc
MILAN upon the occasion of the
teams visit here October IA. 1t says:
"Coach Barton's men apparently
feel rather good after their string Of
victories won during the past three
weeks when Seneca, Bolton, Hastoc
have been overcome Abbeville
beaten, except the referee-all by
towering scores. The new dip into the
collegiate teams will show up the
real mettle here and ascertain wheth-
er Coach Barton's men are playing
real football or clustering along over
weak Hi aggregations. 90.
"a return game is being negotiat-
ed with Abbeville, according to Coach
Barton and will likely come of with
in the next two or three weeks. If
the game is arranged, as expected,
the locals are dead sure that they
can acquit themselves with glory and
redeem game lost at Abbeville some
weeks ago when they appeared to
have been the victims Of hard luck
and of playing against the officials" |"
Any unprejudiced person who saw
the game will say that the teams
were we'll matched and that Ander-
son was "the victim of luck" the
breaks of the game going against
them, but he would not believe An
derson played against the officials" 4"

HALLOWEEN
Facts and Fiction Regarding Fairies
Anniversary

acts and Fiction kegarding aries
Anniversary
Tomorrow is All Saints Day and
therefore today is Halloween. This
honored day is yet the source of
many celebrations and superstitious
beliefs. The Halloween celebration is
an outcome of classic mythology,
Druidic beliefs and early Christian
|superstitions. It is a night of frolic
and fun with a touch Of the super
natural to give it flavor. 1t is
time when witches plot their mischief
and cats make the air hideous with
their squalls. The spirits are sup
posed to mingle with those on earth
and tell chill secrets. The fairies, on
this night, hold annual reunions and
spend the night on earth.
Scotland is the country that obser-
YES most formally the Halloween
spirit. In the days Of Robert Burns,
and even to this day in sections, the
night is the one of all the year for
the telling of fortunes and the work.
ing Of talismen. Many of the old
custom of the day are yet preserved
in many communities Of this country,
though they have been modified and
changed in the passing years.
Burns himself, in his poem, 'Hal-
loween" has made many of these
customs immortal. The first ceremony
of the evening, he says, is the pull
ing of the stalk of kale. Those in the
test must go out hand in hand with
eyes shut and pull the first stalk they
touch. Each in the party pulls a
plant. The significance of the pulling
lies in the size and shape of the
stalk. Each quality is supposed to
represent some characteristic Of the
prospective husband or wife of the
holder. If earth sticks to the roots
the amount is indicative of the for
tune, wealth of the one who pulls it.
The taste of the stem denotes the
natural temper and disposition. Fin
ally the stems are placed over the
door of the house and the christian
name of the chance entrant is the
name of the husband or wife-to-be.
Another trial of fortune is the
burning of nuts. Two are named for
the girl and boy and placed in the
fire together. If they burn together
without hopping about, as nuts have
a custom of doing, it is good omen
and a sign that the courtship will

Superintendent's Troubles.


The lives of the county officials are
not all as rosy as the dawn, as is evi-
denced by an incident that occurred
last week in the Office of Superin-
tendent of Education Mann. A dele
CATION composed of a quorum of the
three trustees of one school district
called at Mr.. Mann's Office and asked
that he use his supposed authority
as superintendent to remove from
his trusteeship the third member of
the board who was absent. They are
reported (not by Mr.. Mann) to. have
given as reason for requesting, such
action that the member in question
had made a false statement about
the teacher of their school. The su-
perintendent explained that he had
no authority to remove a trustee
from office, but if the complainants
would bring their witnesses trial
would be held before the board of
education.
The third member of the board
had, it is said, previously requested
that the other two members be re-
moved.

progress smoothly and without scrap

progress smoothly and without scrap
ping.
The blue-clue is another method of
learning the name of the fu-
ture mate. Take ball of blue
yarn and steal out alone to the kiln
and throw the yarn in the kiln, hold
ing to the end of the thread. Wind
the yarn of into a new ball and to-
ward the end something will hold the
thread. Call out who holds?" and the
answer will be the christian and sur
name of your future spouse.
Still another test is to eat an ap-
pie in front of the mirror, some say
conlbing your hair at the same time.
You must be alone, and a candle must
furnish the light. The face Of your
future mate will appear in the glass
as if peeping over your shoulder.
If you would see your future help
meet, taxi a handful of hemp-seed
and steal out alone and sow it, har-
rowing it in as you 60 with q rake
or broom. Repeat as you 60 Come
after me and show .thyself." Look
back over your left shoulder and he
or she will be seen coming behind,
pulling up the hemp you have sown.
One test that can be tried only
by man is supposed to be a GER
tain way to learn who the wife will
be. Go out alone to a south running
brook, where "three lairds' lands
meet" that is, in Scotland, where
the lands of three lords meet in a
point. Dip your left shirt sleeve in
the running water and go to bed in
sight of a fire. Hang your shirt up
to dry and lie awake. Soon "she"
will ccme and turn the sleeve so
that it may dry the more perfectly.
If you wish to know whether you
will be a married man or bachelor,
an old maid or whatnot, try this one.
Take three dishes. Put clean water in
one, foul water in another and leave
the third empty. Place the three in
a row on the hearth, and lead the
subject, blindfolded, to the hearth.
If he or she dips the left hand in
bowl with clean water, the husband
or wife will be a young man or
young woman. If she dips his hand in
the dirty water he will marry wild
ow, or she widower. If the empty
bowl is invaded that signifies no
marriage at all. This procedure is
repeated three times, the order of
the dishes being changed each time.

Keeps Liquor Buried.

An Abbeville man who likes his
"nip" on cold mornings, is said re-
Gently to have made a visit to a
bootlegger's lair in Mccormick
county. He got what he went for.
Then the enterprising dispenser, at
81 per, attempted a coup d'etat, or
something like that, by trying to
sell his visitor a 20 gallon keg full
of the snake-bite antidote. He said
he had good sized lot cached away
not far from his house that he would
gladly dispose of in more than one
gallon lots.

Low Water.

According to old timers along the
Savannah river, the water in that
stream is the lowest they have ever
known. The water, ordinarily very
muddy, is now almost clear. One man
said that if the dry weather prevail
ed much longer the ferries could be
dispensed with, as the river could be
forded. He believed he could wade
it without wetting his knees. The
power plants on the river are gener-
ating only about so per cent. OF
their normal current.
