Sumter should be represented in
the Good Roads Conference called
by Gov. Harvey to meet in Colum-
bia December 11th. This county
has under construction the most
extensive and the most costly sys-
TEN Of hard surfa ced highways of
any county in the state and it is
important that this county system
be linked up with a state high
way and that provisions be made
for the proper supervision and
maintenance Of the highway after
they have been built and accepted
by the State Highway Department.
Unless other counties build and
maintain their portions OF the
state highways the taxpayers of
Sumter county will not obtain the
maximum benefit from their eN-
penditures for the good roads
built in this county as part of the
state system.

Urged to Try New
Fight on Weeyh
Methods Developed by florida
Man is Recommended on
Low Yielding Land Il

Washington, Nov. 29-Plante-s
throughout the South, especially
those growing cotton on low
yielding land were urged today by
the department OF agricuiture to-
give during the coming season a
widespread and thorough trial of
the new method of boil Weevil5
control developed by G. D. Smith
at the Florida State experiment
station at Gainesville, Fla, and re-
Gently announced by Dr. WiImon
Newell, Of the Florida State plant
board
In its first Official announcemente
on the subject the department Of
agriculture said took great interest
in the new method as announced in:
the Florida bulletin dealing with
the experiments of Mr.. Smith.
I'm these experiments, which
were conducted in Northern Flor
ida" said the Departments an
nouncement, .1he treated fields:
averaged 439 pounds of seed cotton:
per acre; the untreated checks
averaged only 164 pounds OF seed
cotton per acre, or an average in-s
crease of 275 pounds Of seed cet-:
ton per acre in all tests. The aver-:
age cost of treatment for the en-
tire season was 1.57 per acre. The,
new method consists of the remoy-s
al and destruction of all squares on
the plants at time when aboat
two. squares per plant are present
This operation destroys a large
percentage OF the weeyils and 81
Immediately followed by a thorough
busting to poison the terminal
buds where the remaining Weevils
are forced to feed.
This announcement is particn-s
larly important because it appar

land on which it has so far been
/ unprofitabie to use the busting
method.
"a very large proportion OF the
Gotten crop is produced on low
yielding land and the bureau Of es-
tomology is greatly pleased that
this new method has been devel-
oped. wei knowing Prof. NewelIs
standing as a careful and reliable
investigator and urged a wide
spread and thorough trial OF this
method during the coming sea
son wherever the conditions ap-
pear suitable for its use.

Rough Time at
Columbia Game
Charleston High School Team
Complain of Bad Treatment
at Football Game

Columbia, Dec. Members of
the Charleston High School team
were subjected to considerable un-
fair criticism and some unjust
treatment yesterday both at the
game and afterwards by certain
Columbia fans who seemed very
much at outs with the team for
absolutely no other reason than
that it defeated the Columbia team
fairly, decisively and completely.
It is not known who these per-
sons are who flung profane Ian
guage from the Columbia side of
the field during the entire game
at various members Of the team.
Teddy Weeks, whose brilliant play
ing went so far toward making a
victory for Charleston, being the
principal target: but it's known
that the accusations and charges
made against the Charleston play
ers were absolutely without founda-
ton. The wrath of the fans,
mostly young and middle-aged men
who were joined ir their attack on
the Charleston players by several
Columbia players, seemed to have
been stirred only by the beating
which their team was receiving
from the Bantams.
The situation reached,a climax
when Teddy Weeks, whom Colum-
bia players not in the game. and
the above mentioned spectators
begged their players to "kill," was
tackled fiercely around the neck
by Beale after the former had run
forty-three yards to within two
yards Of the goal line. Beale fell
also and it seems as though some
thing occurred between this play
er and Weeks. Beale, it is said, was
seen to kick Weeks as they both
lay on the ground just after the
tackle and was put out Of the
game by "Rut" Osborne, Columbia s
own choice as refree, and known
to be fair and competent official
A large crowd surged on the field
at this time and for a while it
seemed as though trouble Of se-
rious nature might result, but, for
tunately, it was ayerted. The
crowd ardently demanded h AT
Weeks be removed from the game
also. He had done nothing but run
over the Columbia team and yet
he should be killed" for this and
be put out Of the game because he
was viciously tackled and kicked
by Beale.
, Weeks is known everywhere as
| a player of unquestionable fairness
and cleanliness on the gridiron.
The wrathful fans were not sat
isfed with the attacks made at the
game but followed the players up
to the Y. NJ. c. A., where they
dressed and continued to hurl Ian
guage" at them.
Furthermore, they did not seem
saisfed with this, as they sought
! further satisfaction ana revenge
for Weeks fine running against
their team by throwing eggs at
! the coach in which the players
came to Charleston. The eggs were
thrown as the train pulled out OF
the union station and, OF course,
the offenders are. not known here

G. a m e c O c k S Lose
Thanksgiving Game
by Lack Of Punch
Score II to 6

Sumter lost heart rending game
of football to Camden Thursday in
the tourist city. The Gamecocks
gained fully twice as much ground
from scrimmage as their oppon-
ents, but seemed to lack the final
punch when it came to scoring.
Five times the locals carried the
ball within the shadow of Cam
den's goal and then failed to
score. Camden, on the other
hand, won through their ability to
follow the, ball and recover the nu-
merous Sumter fumbles.
The whole Sumter line played
good ball, repulsing all attempts
of the Camdenites to gain by rush
ing. The offense play Of Wright
and Kirven and the defensive work
of McLaruin stood out throughout
the time that they played. Evans
was the best player for Camden.
Kirven, Cato, Rivers, Mcmillan,
McLaurin and Bull played their
last game for Sumter Hi. The To-
Gals, however, have almost a full
team of veterans to carry over to
another year.
The locals have played ten
games this season and have won
eight. They have not failed to
score against a single team played
and the. two defeats were by very
narrow margins.
The games played and the scores
follow:
Sumter Z; Timmonsville 0.

After the game at Camden the
Sumter boys were entertained at
dinner by the home team. All of
the goodies" that go to make a
real Thanksgiving dinner We're in

IGamecocks by telling them that
they were the hardest fighting team

FOOTBALL
IN CHINA
Team Coached by Leland Ed.
monds Wins Game in
Shanghai

ball game in Shanghai, China, is
taken from The China Press of
Shanghai, Nov 1st:
Roy squires' line plunge in the
second period Of yesterdays game
gave the Edmunds aggregate a
6 to 0 victory in the first contest
OF the championship football Sc
ries at the American school. The
touch down followed a steady march
down the field, featured by line
bucks and end runs.
The winners clearly had the
edge throughout the first half.
Roy Squires returned Brewster's
kick to midfeld. where punting
duel between Brewster and Nc
Ginnis took place. Neither side
managed to make any appreciable
gain in the opening quarter,
which was marked by frequent
funbles. In the second period,
however, Squires gained consis-
tently by his line smashes, and
soon brought Coach Miller's squad
back on the 1-yard line, where
the Edmunds men fumbled and
recovered for loss. A succession
Of end runs brought the pigskin
on Miller's 2-yard mark from
whence Roy Squires was pushed
over for the sole touchdown of
the game. McGinnis failed to
make the additional point in an
end run. Edmunds 6, Miller 0.
The third quarter saw the rivals
fighting evenly. Brewster return
ed McGinnis' kick to his own 25-
yard line, where the teams see
sawed back and forth for the
remainder Of the period. In the
last ten minutes Of the game,
Brewster pushed steadily through
the Edmunds line, finally placing
the ball in the shadow Of the
goal. Here the Miller lads show
ed poor generalship, losing ground
on two end runs by Brewster and
Mcdaniel, when it seemed that a
line buck could have carried the
ball over. This was the nearest
approach the Miller men made to
the opposing line, as McGinnis
shortly afterwards kicked to mid
field, where the game finally end
ed.
Several of the men showed up
very well, considering this was
the first game Of the season
Squires is undoubtedly the strong
est man in the school lineup
gaining a vast amount Of ground
Brewster played a stellar game in
the backfeld, and will probably
be seen at quarterback. Lawton's
tackles were noticeably good, while
McGinnis astonished the specta,
tors by his long boots. The school
boys showed lack Of practice, and
will not be in their best form fo1
several weeks yet.
Neither team tried any tricks
| in the first half yesterday, but
Roy Squires baffled Coach Millers
eleven by his forward passing late
in the game. A couple Of long
tosses netted the Edmunds squad
l20 or 80 yards. The Miller's
/, attempted a aerial attack but thei,
passes grounded.
/. Following was the lineup:
