ERSKINE SCORES
Carolina Team Unable to Hold
Phillips Away From Goal.

iCarollna Team unable TO 1oio
| Phillips Away From Goal.
| The following account of the Car
olina Erskine game Saturday is from
The State:
Erskine had Phillips yesterday af-
ternoon while Carolina was afflicted
with a player who never did any
team any good, old Over Confidence.
AS a result of this combination the
Gamecocks had a battle on their
hands and barely won, the final score
being 13 to z. The winning touch
down was negotiated in the last three
minutes of the last period after Phil
LIPS had stepped off 65 yards to a
touchdown for the visitors in the
! middle of the same period that put
the Seceders ahead one point, Cap
tain Gressette having missed his try
for goal after scoring the first
touchdown of the game in the second
period,
:. AS for Erskine, Phillips is one of
the greatest players in the game to-
day, and as was expected
the playing Of this Chester lad alone
was we'll worth the price of admis-
sion. He played a wonderful defen-
sive game all the afternoon and late
in the Fday did what Erskine men
hadsrbeen hoping for and Carolina
supporters dreading-got away. The
greaAo back went from well within his
own territory to the Carolina goal
line 65 yards away running part of
the way, rolling some, tumbling bit !
and diving the rest. Five Carolina :
men were encountered along the way
but they were not able to do more
than slow him up and he got this lost
time back when he left the last one
behind. It was great -xun by a great
player.
Both captains, were hurt. Captain
Young of Erskine suffered cislo-
Gated shoulder early in the game
when he fell heavily diving at Car
olina player and Captain Gressette
severely wrenched his ankle late in !
the game. Il

Pickens, Sept. 30.-As time wore
on and no word of agreement came
from the jury, indications pointed
strongly this morning to another mis-
trial Of Jake Gosnell, prohibition en-
forcement officer, charged with ths
murder of Sheriff Hendrix Rector.
The jury had been out for nine
teen hours. Later last night they
asked Judge R. Withers Memmingel
to charge them again as to the Law

fully on this subject Judge Mem.
minger strongly urged the jury to dc
all possible to reach verdict. The
twelve men retired again shortly be,

widow and mother of the late sheriff
and three Of his brothers were

remained there until after o'clock

Of freight for the Big Four, 8,547, 900

The difference in the character Of the
traffic is reflected in statistics Of oper-
alton. The average revenue trainload
of the Big Four in 1920 was 799 tons.
an increase Of thirty one tons over the
previous year; Of the Pittsburgh e.
Lake Erie 1916 tons, an increase Of
l63 tons, and of the Rutland 435 tons,
an increase of thirteen tons. The
average revenue per ton per mile on
the Big Four was 8.85 mills, an in
crease of 0.46 mill over the previous
year; of the Pittsburgh G. Lake Erie
I.2O5 cents, an increase Of O.146 cent,
and of the Rutland 1888 cents, an in
crease of O.048 cent. The contrast be-
tween less than 8 mills per ton mile
for the Big Four and over II cents for
the Rutland is worth noting.
AS Of December 81, 1920, the Big
Four had S7,425,000 loans and bills pay
able, the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie So
$4,000 and the Rutland $3.50, ,0Oo
Cash on hand amounted to $6,715 900
for the Big Four, S4,S83,O00 to the

for the Rutland. The Big -Four at the
end of the year owed the government
$21 ,S45,000 and the government owed
it, according to the company's way of
figuring, $21 100000. The Pittsburgh

Wants a "Real Investmentv

Questlon-The writer has about $1,000
which he would like to invest in a good
am am in no position to take long chance.
but am rather looking FOR real invest :
ment. The following bonds have been rec
ommended Will you be good enough to
anything you think would be better for
me? Peoria & Eastern first As, 1910 and
st. Louis & Southwestern first consolida ated
As, 1932.-E. II. c..
Answer-Neither of the bonds that
you name are in our opinion the kind
OF bonds that you are evidently look
ing for, although we consider Peoria e.
Eastern very good business mans in
vestment. A real investment, in our
opinion. is one where you buy with
large degree OF certainty of income
over period of years, and in which
there is minimum chance of the
safety of either principal or interest
becoming endangered. An investment
in weak railroad company's bond may
prove profitable if the railroad situa-
tion turns out we'll, but there is Ger
tain risk involved. The Chicago Union
Station 67s per cent bonds, due 1863,
secured by first mortgage on a VAL
liable railroad property in the city of
Chicago and guaranteed principal and
interest jointly and severally by the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati E.
the Pennsylvania Company and
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, is
the kind OF investment that we think
you are looking for. 1t does not give
as high yield as the two bonds sug-
gested to you. but it has no speculative
element in it.

u. S. Steel Prices Up
Advance of SIS q Ton on Sheet
Announced

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 22.-The Ameri-
can Sheet and Tin Plate Company, a
subsidiary of the United States Steel
Corporation, to-day announced an in
crease of SIS ton in the price of it's
principal products over the extremely
low prices which have prevailed for the
last three or four weeks.
The new list shows blue annealed
sheets advanced from s2.25 to $3.50 a
hundred pounds, light black sheets and
tin mill products from S2.75 to So, gal
vanized sheets from $3.75 to Sd, all
Pittsburgh base.
The increase was brought about, steel
authorities said, by a substantial de-
mand. This demand has been steadily
growing within the last three weeks
until to-day the company's mill opera
ton was declared to be double that
of September i.
Another feature of the revival which
attracted general attention was the
statement that delivery overnightD
had ceased to be part of the market.
and in most instances buyers would
now be compelled to wait from forty
five to sixty days.

Beth. IS and Cumulative Dividends

Question-Will you please give me your
opinion OF the Bethlehem Steel purchase
money 5s, 1885, as an investment? AS the
dividends the Missouri Pacific preferred
stock are cumulative, what will be the
result II they are not paid? That is. what
fs usually done when cuInulations are not
paid &C. NJ. B.
Answer - Bethlehem Steel purchase
money 5s, 1885, are secured by mort
gage on steel mills, blast furnaces and
shipyard at Sparrow's Point, etc. and
we consider them a good investment.
The steel situation is at present un-
certain, and Bethlehem went through
such a great expansion during the war
period that its ability to withstand
times such as these has not been fully
tested. When dividends are cumulative
it simply means II they are not earned
in one year, but'i in subsequent year
sufficient is earned to pay back divi-
dends, the directors may declare extra
dividends to make up to stockholders
for the unpaid dividend. A cumulative
dividend does not always mean that
the company must pay it out of sur
plus. There have been instances where
companies have had quite large cumu-
lative dividend against their preferred
stock and have eventually paid it off,
and other instances where the cumu-
lative portion has not been paid in

Retailers Here TO Pur-
chase Fall Stocks; Busi-
mess More Active, but
Caution Still Prevails

With probably the greatest number
of buyers in the women's local whole
sale apparel market that has been
registered since the fall selling season
began in July, manufacturers yester-
day were inclined to be more onti-
mistic concerning the seasons outlook.
business up to date has been poor,
the apparel producers are frank to
state. Many Of them attribute this to
the arbitrary refusal OF retailers to
buy merchandise in advance in the
hope that the manufacturers' prices
could be forced down A few take a
broader view of the situation and ex-
plain that their customers among the
retailers are complaining of poor busi-
ness In their stores, and under these
instances scarcely can be ex-
pected to buy heavily.
Plenty of merchandise is apparent
in the market here, according to the
visiting buyers. Some Of them said
that the prices, especially on dresses,
appeared to be slightly lower than
they. were earlier in the season. The
number of dress manufacturers is be-
lieved to have been increased by rs per
cent over last year, due to the en-
trance into this division of the trade
by waist and coat and suit manufac-
turers.
Wholesale buying this week, say the
manufacturers in all divisions of the
trade, has shown a good increase over
last week, although the retailers have
not abandoned caution and are still
buying in small quantities.

Burns Bros. to Absorb
Farrell Coal Company
Negotiations for Exchange of
Stock Virtually Completed;
Expect So 900. 600 Earnings


Negotiations under way for a merger
of Burns Brothers and William Farrell
g. Sons Inc., coal dealer. it was
learned yesterday, provide for the prac-
tical absorption Of the latter concern
by the former. The present 81 ,293, 100
| issue of Burns Brothers per cent
preferred stock and $3,000,000 Farrell
per cent preferred, it is understo Cd,
are to remain the same in the consoli-
dated company.
New Burns Brothers "A" common
stock Is to be issued for the present
issue of 81 900 shares of 500 par value.
while $1,000 shares of "B" stock will
be exchanged or the 5000 shares of
Farrell common in the ratio of s to 13.
It is provided that after dividends of
50 share have been paid on the "A''
common the two classes shall share
alike in the distribution Of the earn
lngs above that percentage 1t is pro-
posed that the shares to be exchanged
for Farrell company stock shall receive
dividend at the rate of So annually.
The present common stock paws
nothing.
1t is estimated that the minimum net
annual earnings of the combined com
panies will be $3,000,0o0, of which
$225, 900 would be required for the
burns Brothers preferred dividend
and. interest charges; $210,000 for the
preferred Farrell dividend, and $64s, 900
for dividends on the new "a" common
at the rate of SO. This would leave a
surplus of nearly 100000 available
Tor other purposes, including possible
extra dividends.
Since the revival of negotiations in
volving the merger of the two com
panies Burns Brothers stock has
shown an advancing tendency. At yes-
tterday's closing quotation of 96M
there was a net gain of 2Zs points.
