PLAY IN sPARTANBURa.
Fort Mil to Meet Gaffney Friday for
Championship HOnOrs.

The football team Of the Fort Mill
high school will go to Spartanburg
tomorrow morning to play the Gaff-
ney high school team for the chnmpi-
onship Of the upper section OF the
State. The game will be played on
the Wofford college field at 2:3O
o'clock and it is thought that it will
be Witnessed by large crowd. A
number of Fort Mil fans are planning
tn make the trip to Spartanburg to-
morrow morning in their cars for the
game. The winner OF this game will
play the Thornwell orphanage team
for the championship OF western
South Carolina and. will later meet
team from the lower section of the
tate. perhaps Charleston, for the
high srhool championship of South
Carolina.
Gaffney has strong team, as Is
evidenced by the fact that last Thurs
day afternoon she tied the Rock Hill
eleven. Local football enthusiasts
believe. nevertheless, that the Fort
Mil boys stand an excellent chance
of winning. The local team has an
undefeated record for the season.
They have scored 80 points to their
opponents Is in seven games. It was
realized that the Fort Mill team was
a good one when the boys SO COM
pietely outclassed the heavy Abbe-
viile team brough here for the game
last Thursday by Major James d.
Fulp, with the avowed purpose Of
licking Fort Mill
Although the Fort Mill team owes
its present position as champion Of
the Catawba association to the action
OF the South Caroina high school
committee in ruling out Rock Hill
and Chester, the team nevertheless
deserves much credit for the clean
g; me the boys have played. Coach
Hes tn belk also deserves much credit
for the invaluable assistance he has
given the boys. ...

SHOULD Grow LESS COTTON.

SHOULD GROW LESS COTTON.
Mr.. Lee Thinks boil Weeyil . Friend
to Southern Farmers.
Editor Fort Mill Times:
Since the writer has received sew
eral requests for another article on
the cotton situation, the farmers
many perplexities and everything in
general, have some slight hope or
doing little good; and II do not
state facts, want some one 70 cali
me. '.
This is beautiful, sunshiny
Thanksgiving day over the sunny
South's cotton fields, and the upper
most thought in my mind at this mo-
ment is, how thankful we should be
for the boil weevil. 1t is the most as
tonishing thing to me why our cxper-
iment stations and government agents
are struggling to exterminate the Wee
vii. Is 1t not fact that previous to
the entry OF the boil weevil that cot
ton sold on the streets OF Fort Mill
and all over the heartbroken South
ftr 5 cents per pound?
1t is always the last 3 or million
bales Of the crop that break the mar
ket. 1t is hard to imagine q race OF
people SO foolish as to stug2le 10
kill something that God sent shat
rIw makes the price OF cotton 25
cents rather than cents per pound
A 10 million bale crop means no: ovei
IN rQnts nnnnh lDl
lars; a 10 million bale crop means l
billion $50 million dollars, and with
less expense-or certainly not more
expense-or q difference or half a
billion dollars.
In other words, the boil weevil.
81 he got before the weevil came.
Why struggle to grow two bales of
cotton where only one Is required,
and at he same time blight the lives
and happiness Of millions of boys and
girls over our Southland, while the
millionaires in England and New
England wake up at midnight and
laugh at the crazy fools down South?
AS I see it, the government is
spending untold thousands to kill the
weevil and thereby keep the South OF
our fathers crippled and down and
out. Deny it II you can. No one
has ever accused the cotton farmer
OF the ability to look out for himself,
and already they are planning q
bumper crop for next year and sign
lug their own death warrant to finan-
cial independence-if the weevil lets
1t grow as the farmer plans.
1t has been one continual fight
this season to keep the cotton price
up, even in the face or two short
crops in succession, and also a short
crop in Egypt and India. What will
1t be, friends, with q big yield all
over the world? II they raise bump
er crop next year 1t will be funny
to stand on the street corners and
in our stores and listen to to the cot
ton growers talk as the price tum-
ples. 1t will be like a thief cursing
himself for getting caught. Remem-
Der that people must eat, but they
can do with mighty little clothes.
Adam and Eve got in trouble over
eating, not dressing, and there's a lot
of Adams and Ewes in our midst to-
day apologies where duel.
The road to happiness and content
ment points to less cotton than ever,
more good things to eat, more good
roads to ride over In Gods sunlight
and moonlight. And as We dream,
the light OF wonderful day will
dawn over the fair South.
Benz. M. Lee.

speaker In the British parliament has
asked whether that distinction does
not belong to Sir Basil Zaharoff.
Probably no one knows what is the

How many of our readers have
ever heard OF him? Probably few. He
is not widely advertised by a talka-

are. He Is indeed q figure Of mys-
terry. No one knows Just where he
was born. Some say in Constants.
nople, some say in Athens, some say
In Russia. His father was certainly
a Russian and his mother Greek.
He inherited no money to speak OF.
He Is q naturaized, citizen OF France

In british business and finance up to

OF Oxford, and was knighted by King

In some valuable oil properties in the
Near East and is rival or the great
Stanard Oil and the Royal Dutcn
Shell company. He has millions in

some OF the largest banking institu-
tions in France and is a half owner
OK the gaming palace at Monte Carlo.
Hc Is said to have financed the mill
tary activities OF Greece while Veni->
zelos was In power, and there are
many who say that his influence
with Lloyd George, always strong,
though carefully concealed, was one
OF the mainsprings of the British poll
Icy in the Near East. In his charac-
teristic secretive way he Is generous.
He has given largely to Oxford uni

the University Of Petrograd. He
gave the money for the meeting OF the
Interparliamentary commission in
Paris, and he has given a great deal
to charitable causes. Il, 49,. I
In spite of all that, few persons

FARM LIFE Is
GREAT TRAINING
FOR YOUNG MEN

There is a saying that the cities are
run by the sons of farmers and we
believe it is largely true. We are al
30 OF the opinion that farm life is the
greatest training school man can at
tend. 10 q youngster who has hand
LED a plow, milked cows, made hay,
threshed wheat and broken ice in or.
der to get painful of water, the aver
age city job is nothing more than mere
play.
The boy reared on the farm, or in
towns like Julesburg bucks up against
nature and his problem is one Of con-
quering natural forces. The city man
bucks up against other human beings,
and the prizes go mostly to those who
are able to organize men to common
purpose. You can fool people, but you
can't fool nature. Yes, and the coun-
try boy learns early the habit of work
and the habit remains with him after
he has adopted city life. We remem-
Der reading once these words: "Any
city, job seems easy after you have
worked on farm"
1t has been said that every honest
man in a city has at some time had a
level, square or plumh-bob in his
tool kit. There's something to it, too,
for man who is in the habit of maxi
ing things square, plumb and level
usually thinks straight. There ought
to be some manual training in every
city boys education. That's the best
way to teach him the need of accuracy.
And it would also be fine thing If
every city boy, and every town boy,
too, could spend at least year on the
farm. We believe he could easily sac
rifice year in school for this expert
ence.

LAST DAYS OF THE BLUE

George w. Cannady, Civil War '61-'65
AS last of the leaves fall fastly,
So falleth, the files of blue
The riffs in their ranks more CHASTITY
Fainter their whispers adieu.
Thinner, their old ranks growing,
Falt-ring their step and their voice,
"Time" swaths the grain of his SOW.
ing,
Choosing his chieftest of choice.
Hottest of battle they followed
One flag that never was furl'd,
Fields their red blood has hallowed- -
Shrines for enslaved of the world,
Restful as sea breezes blowing,
Night Of their bivouac,
Paid the last debt of the owing,
Forgiven forever their lack.
Evening winds sigh DER the gray hair
Once raven or golden hue,
Furrow'd, the faces, that were fair
Fer comeliness cried her adieu.
Scions of sons and of daughters.
Children of foes of the past,
Daring dread dangerous waters,
Found Frances warm bosom at last
Why now disturb their last sleeping
Rending her bosom anew?
Turn her away from her weeping
Ger graves of her Gray and Blue?
Brighter their names, with their
sinking,
At rest where French flowers a-bloom
Many cover their dust in the linking
Of glorious ties to their tomb,
