Clover, Fletcher. Lingo, Pedrick. Rey-
bold. Smith. Sweezy, Millikin. y.
White, II. White and Manager Collins
Beates, Donohue and Alexander had
been recommended by Coach Ashton,
but after a lengthy discussion the first
was dropped, while the latter two re-
ceived letters. Beates had only played
one quarter this season, but had been
suggested for letter by the coach be-
cause Of his hard playing in the four
years that he has been on the scrubs.
MORN" White, representing the
Varsity Club. brought up tho question
whether Cox, MacDonough and John.
son should be awarded letters. All
three players had participated In the

been recommended by the coach. Mac.

senting vote.

Last night was the third victory and
games ard scheduled with Rookwood,
Green Sox and the Daughters of Co
lmbus. These three teams ar" strong
contenders for the city crown now held
by the Columbus fv" and the showing
Of the Terminal five against this array

ability of the squad.

at half time the score was IL 10 >. III

work Of Miss Nolan and beautiful

Exide is considerably improved over IT,

The South S Progress

The Manufacturers Record has published Blue Book
of Southern Progress giving invaluable array OF factS
concerning the South of yesterday and today and reason
able forecasts of the South of tomorrow Among other
things we learn that the South is spending on pubic
schools no less than $204 900 per annum today which
is only five per cent less than the entire nation spent IN
1900 and S00000 than all the rest OF the country
was spending at that time The wealth Of the whole
United States was estimated in 1880 at fortyhree billion
dollars while the wealth of the South in 1920 was seventy
billion dollars nearly double the former figure. The
SOUTH with about onehird of the population and area of
the country had $88500000O invested in manufacturing,
in 1920 produced manufactured products valued at more
than $988000000 The South today IS consuming about
sixty per cent of the cotton taken by all American
mills The value of exports through Southern ports last
year. 1924 0U0O0O than third OF the total
value of the exports of the United States 519 millions more
than the total value of the exports Of the United States in
1910 " a~
Among other noticeable figures are those statistics in
which the South stands pTeemnent in the whole world
She produces about 100 per of the country turpen
tine and rosn which about s. per cent of the worlds
output about SO per cent of the country sulphur
than threefOurhs of the worlds output about 81 per
cent of the cOunryS petroleum. Sc per cent of the
worlds production about 100 per cent of the cOuntryS
cotton 90 per cent of the worlds crop about 100 per
cent of the cOunyS cotton seed oil and peanut OIL which
adds annually several hundred million dollars of food
supply to the North and West
These are some of the things accomplished by the
South The most enthusiastic Southron would not have
ventured prophesy their achievement twenty years ago.
But we believe that the next twenty years will witness
still greater progress and that the South today has the
most glorious future of any part of this world of equal
territory.
