An instructor in music says that
the following is the way to produce
good jazz music. Five young men who
cannot read music are given different
pieces to play at once. Then they are
equipped with razoo, blazoo and a
wheeler. They are then filled with
Jamiaca ginger, rough on rats, rock
salt and home brew and turned loose.
The noise resulting is called jazz.
Those who hear it say they could die

800 NEW MEN ENTER

Old Students Must Report Septem-

Clemson College, Aug. 20.-Only
three more weeks remain before the
opening of the thirtieth session OF
Clemson College during the first
week in September. All old students,
according to an announcement made
by the presidents office, are requlr-
ed to report back on September 5,
and all new students on September
6, except those entering the one
year agricultural course, who are
due to arrive on October 2. Students
who have made!up work to remove
are of course due back sufficiently
in advance of the opening dates to
remove their conditions.
Though the entrance requirements
have been raised, the prospects for
ia large freshman class are Unusually
lgood, says J. c. L~ittlejohn, registrar
who states that approximately SOC
new men will enter this fall, this
being the maximum number of new
men that can be taken because Of
the unusually large percentage Of
old men returning. The majority Of
the applicants, Mr.. Littlejohn says,
are graduates Of four-year high
school courses, q noticeable improve.

TEXTILE MILLS FACE
PROBLEM OF COAL

Clark Thinks Many Plants in Caro-
linas Will Be Forced to Close.
Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 19.-Many
of the several hundred textile plants
in the Carolinas will be closed down
within the next ten days or two
weeks, on account of the inability
to secure coal, in the opinion of
David Clark, editor of The Southern
Textile Bulletin, who has just COM
pleted a tour and survey Of manu-.
featuring centers in the two states.
This does not apply, Mr. Clark said
in a statement today, to mills using
beyond the reach of the hydro-elec-
trio transmission lines and also those
within that territory which operate
partly by steam.
Even with a large number of coal
mines resuming operation, said Mr..
Clark, the fuel problem of the tex
tile mills is by no means solved, be-
cause of the railroad strike situation
which makes it impossible to maui
anything like a normal tonnage.

SIZE OF FIELD.

There has been considerable dis
cussion on the streets the past week
of the correct SIZE Of a regulation
football field. Estimates Of the dis
lance from goal to goal have been
given from 80 yards to ITO yards.
s%palding's Official Rules for 1921
state that a regulation football field
is 100 yards from goal line to goal
line and the width is 100 feet. End
zones behind each goal are provided
for the completion of forward passes
etc. These end zones should be 10
yards each.
All of the discussion was brought
about by the grading of the athletic
field in rear of the new school build
ing. The actual grading being done
there is 100 yards by 100 yards. But
there remains sufficient space for end
zones which will be provided before
completion of the field.
It is also estimated that by plac-
ing home plate in real of the corner
Of the athletic field next the Link
property that a baseball diamond OF
ample dimensions may be provided
Looking from the proposed site OF
home plate it appears to even so ar
dent fans as Col. Jim Mcmillan and
Claude Neuffer that a player who
knocked a ball over the embankment
behind center field would be entitled
to a home run without further dis.

GOOD ROADS BILL
-.- FAILED TO PASS
Georgia Legislature Votes Million
For Pensions.


Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 19.-Following
an all-night sitting, punctuated with
stormy debate the 1922 session of
the Georgia state legislature came
to a close at 5 o'clock this morning
with many bills of more or less i'm
portance crowded out.
The final session., however, &C.
counted for the passage Of the ap-
preparation which provided $2,451,-
600 for Confederate pensions for
the years of 1929 and wiped out
the present distinction between the
old and new pensioners.
The good roads bonds issue bill
which was to provide $4,000, 900 to
match a federal appropriation after
a spirited debate, was killed out by
the house, when a substitute propos.
ed by the senate in the afternoon
was introduced on the floor. A bill
to provide a biennial session of the
legislature instead of the present
annual session was also killed.
Special appropriations for the
state university system, were passed
in the closing hours of the session,
but no provision was made by the
legislature to raise the revenue to
make the funds available.
Only a few members remained on
the floor of either house when the
resolutions to adjourn sine die were
passed. The sessions, whose legal

GIVE THE FACTS.

Inc SOuti oiiiio So.eoA NN
ers Cooperative Association is now
fully organized and it has begun to
function. We were among those re-
sponsible for the success of the move-
ment in this county and we believe
We have a right to speak in behalf
of those farmers of Abbeville Coun-
ty who have become members.
Having such right, we desire to
say that the acts Of the governing
body Of this organization must be
open. The organization will not sue
coed without publicity as to all mat:
tiers affecting the welfare Of the
members. Having this truth in view
the officers have announced the Sc
lection Of certain employees of the
organization, but no announcement
has geen made Of the salaries to be
paid these officers.
It is a fact that the men employed
by the organization for the selling
and handling of cotton must be men
of great experience, men who have
been accustomed to receive large re-
enumeration, and it will take large
salaries to employ the right kind OF
men. We all understand that, but
then that is no reason why we should
not know what our officers r do
ing, and it is no reason why the pub.
lie should not be advised as to these
salaries when we are still asking
others to join the organization. II
is a mistake to have the appearance
of trying to conceal anything. We
take it that the directors of the or
ganization' have nothing to conceal,
but when they fail to give publicity
to these matters, they appear to
conceal. The fact that officers of a
kindred organization are nov being
criticised for taking large salaries
should warn the officers of the new
organization of the danger.
We notice that an attorney has
been employed for the organization.
He is a mar of ability and it is stat
ed that he is greatly interested in
the farmers movement. An attorney
is necessary in a good many matters
pertaining to the organization and
the management of the new enter
prise, but the public should know
what services are to be rendered by
the attorney and what salary, if
any, is to be paid him. The people
will support all legitimate expendi-
lures for the success of the move
ment, but they will not undertake to
pay unnecessary salaries and ex-
penses.
Publicity is the word, and without
it We will not succeed.
