Capt. Wagner was born near

Chinese Province Make Place To<
Hot for Governor.

Hot for Governor.
Peking, Oct. 20-(By maiD-
Opposition by the people Of the
province of Anhwei to their new
Civil Governor has caused that Off
cial to go into sudden retirement af-
ter only three days in office, ac-
cording to official reports received
in Peking from the capital Of the
province.
Objection Of the Anhwei people
to the new Governor, one Ii Shao-
chen, was due to his great age AMI
the tact that Ii has; in the past,
been connected with the pro-Jap-
anesc Anfu party. So the students,
gentry and merchants Of Anhwei
arranged for reception committee
which was to give LIZ a warm vel
come on his arrival at Anking on
September 20.
Ii, however, got advance word
of the welcome that was being plan
ned for him and so travelled to An
king, the provincial capital. on a
gunboat. He was landed at point
below the town with strong body
guard and, entering the city
through little used gate, reached
his official residence while the re
ception committee" was still wait
ing at the regular landing stage
and wondering why he didn't arrive.
It is learned here, however, that
the reception for Governor, or ex-
Governor, Ii was postponed, but
not cancelled, and that on Septem-
Der % the aged official departed
for places unknown because the
reins of government in Anhwei got
too hot for him to handle.
Peking is now looking for anoth-
er Civil Governor to send to An
king. and this time, it is said. the
Government will first consult the
people Of Anhwei.

Camden Wins Game
From Sumter High
Visitors Score Four Touch
downs on Local School
Team in Thanksgiving
Game

L
game played at the fair grounds
at noon yesterday, between the
high school teams of Camden and
Sumter. the visitors inflicted a 70
to 0 score defeat upon the local
| high school team. Sunter's school
| team was incapable of competing
with the speed shown by the
Camden squad, and in spite OF all
that could be done was apparently
absolutely powerless to prevent the
making of the four touchdowns by
Camden.
The starting of the game bid fair
,sto be at least interesting, neither OF
teams gaining their first downs and
being forced to resort to the toeing
of the ball. Hall, of Camden,
however, soon put the quietus on
this procedure Of ball transference
when he got through Sunter's en-
tire squad after receiving Sumter's
punt. Hall was tackled by Wright,
safety man for Sumter, on the 8
yard line after he had brought the
ball rs yards UPHELD. Camden's
completed forward pass Kirkland to
Hayes landed the first touchdown
of the game and in way gave an
index then to the victorious team.
kirkland kicked goal each of his
four out Of four cha-.ces.
The second quarter Of the game
was the only one in VIII .ch no score
was made Hale landed Camden's
second touchdown III the third
quarter and Kirkland and Rhame
each got credit for one touchdown
during the fourth quarter. Sum-
ter played hopeful during sparce
intervals but Camden has the de-
cided edge on the Sumter team.
Sumter's men probably doing the
best work were Rivers, Wheeler,
Kirvin and Wright. Witherspoon
was substituted for Wheeler in third
quarter.

SALARIES
NECESSARY FOR
JAPAN RESIDENTS

Toxic, June disqualification Of the
daily lament by foreigners In Japan
over the high cost Of living is found
in a report given out by a committee
of the American Legion Of Toxic and
Yokohama. The report founded on
replies received from members Of the
post, fixes the living expenses for a
single mai at between $275 and 1921
g. month and for married man be-
said that these salaries permitted no
saving whatsoever.
Only one man in the list who made
reports spoke of Japan as one where
luxurious living Conditions prevailed.
He said: "It is luxurious, or better
to say, lazy, az 1t seems to
have servants, and these are 50 inefn-
cient that it takes two to do the work
of one."
Salaries considered fairly good in
the United States = not good" sal
investigation shows. The report Say:
the committee feels that no one
should come to Japan for sums less
than those mentioned above.
OF II men making propheztes as te
the probable changes In costs during
the present year, eight see little pros.
pect Of changes, five anticipate in
creases Of from 5 to 20 per cent while
four hope for decreases Of from S tc
10 per cent.
Difficulties in finding pernanen,
quarters are also mentioned in the list
Of replies. Regarding the length OF
time it has taken to secure permanent
quarters. the average time needed in
house hunting was two months an6
ten days. One reply said that it took
nine months to find a house.
