contested game of football between
Carlisle Fitting School and st. George
High School, the Carlisle boys won by
score of 10 to 13. Both teams play

cross Hne L. ~ first quarter, but
could not hold on in front of-the
heavy boys Of Carlisle.
This is the first game st. George
has lost on her home diamond, they
having won every game played so
far on the home diamond and only
lost several games off from home.
They have scheduled to play Wal
terboro fair week and no doubt this
will be a well-fought game. Last Fri
day, st. George won over Denmark

Game to Blackville.

Denmark, Nov. 11.-Blackville and
Denmark fought one of the prettiest
games Friday afternoon that has been
seen here in some time Blackville
taking the long end by the count Of

or but seems to lack the necessary
push to score. Blackville won the
game on line plays that netted from
four to six yards nearly every play,
for Denmark the entire backfeld
played a good game. The game was
clean and free from disputes. Den

Fire Did Much
Damage in Cope


cred between $50 and 10 o'clock
Thursday morning in the dwelling
owned by Mrs. M. E. Valentine and
occupied by l.. E. Spann and family,
and was burned to the ground in
remarkably short time. A brisk
breeze found the flames and scat
tered burning shingles from $50 to
200 feet on the houses occupied by
R. C. Carter, Mrs. NJ. E. Ritter and
G. C. Mackey.
Mrs. Ritter's house caught three
times and Mr.. Mackey's one or more
times, but parties on top of them put
out the fire Immediately. The house
on the lot by the side of the fire,
owned by M. K. Myers, and occupied
by VI. L. Sandifer and family, had a
very narrow escape, and was saved
by the hard and prompt work of the
bucket brigade. Everything was taken
out of the Sandifer home, and lot
of bedding, furniture, etc., was re-
moved from the Carter home.
Mrs. Valentine lost everything
on her lot, consisting Of dwelling, a
tenement house in the rear of the
lot, barn, stables and shed, and it is
understood there was no insurance.
Mr.. Spann carried some insurance
on his household goods and estimates
that he lost about half Of what he
owned. All of his dining room fur
niture, together with crockery and
silverware were lost. Kitchen furni-
ture, large range, two oil stoves,
etc., were a complete loss.
R. G. Carter's home was directly
in the path of the flames, but by be-
ing kept thoroughly soaked was
saved by hard work. J. E. Felder's
residence across the street, in front
of Carter's, was at one time in the
path of the flames, but the wind
shifted and relieved the situation
somewhat. 1t was also thoroughly
soaked with a water hose from his
premises.
During the worst of the fire and
when it looked as if Sandifer's, Car
ters, Mackey's and Mrs. Ritter's
homes were all doomed, Rev. c. T.
Easterling phoned to Orangeburg for
help and Chief Fisher, with bunch
of fire fighters, responded Immediate
ly. They arrived in short order but
as the worst was over and the fire un-
der control and for lack of adequate
water supply the apparatus from
Orangeburg was not used. The hearty
response and action on the part of
the fire department Of Orangeburg
was greatly appreciated.
The origin of the fire is suppos-
ed to have been the explosion of an
oil stove in the Spann home. The cook
had just left to go to the postofflce a
short distance, and, hearing report,
turned and saw smoke. She returned
Immediately but could not enter the
kitchen on account of the flames.

The republican total in the senate
is predicted upon a victory for that
party in the senatorial contest in
North Dakota. Should final returns
show the election of ]. F. T. O'Con-
nor. the democratic candidate, the
republicans would have 50 and the
democrats 43. In the present senate
the republicans have so members and
the democrats SO, republican ma
jority of "a.
In the house the republicans, on
the basis of the unofficial returns,
will have majority of Is over the
combined strength which could be
mustered against them by the demo-
Gratis and others, and plurality Of
1S over the democrats as a party
unit. In the present house the re-
publicans have majority of 165 over
all, and plurality of 166 over the
democrats.
A"~CO4oCC
In addition to these changes, all
of which become effective after the
Sixty-seventh congress expires on
March 4, next, there will be some
immediate shifts in the totals
through the filling of vacancies at
Tuesdays election. There were eight
vacancies in the present house, due
to deaths and designations, and in
the unofficial returns, show that of
these eight seats, the republicans
captured six-the Sixth California.
Illinois-at-large, the Sixteenth Mas
sachusetts, the First and Sixth Ne
braska and the Eleventh Pennsysva-
nia-while democratic nominees won
in the Third North Carolina and
Seventh Tennessee. There were no
upsets in the result, although the
seat of former Representative Reavis,
republican, First Nebraska district,
went to R. H. Thorpe, republican, for
the remainder of the present term,
while John H. Morehead, democrat,
will represent the district in the next
congress.
Filling of the vacancies will make
the house lineup at the start Of the
forthcoming special session, 302 re-
publicans 1872 democrats and one
socialist.
The official tabulation, it appeared
today, might give Senator Dupont,
republican, Delaware, a seat in the
senate until next March 4, regardless
Of the outcome of his contest with
Thomas F. Bayard, democrat, for the
term beginning March 4. If Bayard
is seated for the unexpired term the
republican majority would be cut to

AUTO STRIKES BUGGY
Woman and Two Children Have Mar

Cope. Nov. 12.-As J. B. Ashe
and children were returning home on
Friday afternoon they were struck
by an automobile just as they turned
to leave the Orangeburg-Bamberg
Highway, and Mr.. Ashe was thrown
from the buggy and considerably
shaken up, but not seriously injured,
and the children also escaped any
real injuries, but it is almost mira
culous that they escaped, FOR the car
that struck them was making rapid
speed to pass another car at the time.

however, and suffered another break
Monday. The general belief is that
the market will recover and reach

Many planters are still busy with
their grain planting. 1t seems that
perhaps the biggest crop of grain on
record is being planted this fall.
Planting by some farmers is a little
late on account of the dry weather.

Meeting Called
to Rap Weeuil

Colum bia, Nov. 14.-A conference,
to be participated in by a score or
more scientific farmers and agricul-
tural scientists, to prescribe for
mula for combating the inroads and
propagation of the cotton boil weevil,
was called this afternoon by Governor
Harvey to meet here in the State
Library at noon, Saturday, November
1S.
''The degree of prosperity in South
Carolina" said the letter of the Gov
ernor to those invited, "is dependent,
in the near future at least, on the de-
gree of success attained in the control
of the boil weevil; and the degree of
such control seems dependent upon
the degree of unanimity with which
cotton growers adopt approved pro-
tective measures.
''To reach the ear and fix the at
tention of the multitude Of small
farmers in the State, will require
much systematic work and sustained
effort, and the employment of every
possible agency for publicity and in
f1uence Reasonable success would
be notable achievement.
while it is true that every known
method of attacking the weevil has
been publicly urged many times, it
has been represented to me that the
position of the press and other agen-
cies, willing and anxious to make a
systematic campaign to bring into
line all cotton growers in the State
would be greatly strengthened and
their work made much more effective,
should they be furnished one fixed
point around which to concentrate
such as would be presented in a
pronouncement as official is practic-
able to be made, by body of scien-
lists and successful scientific farmers,
as to the proper methods Of combat
ting the inroads of the boil Weevil.
THAT this material may be fur
nished, l write you as l am writing a
score of other gentlemen to meet in
the State Library at Columbia at IL
o'clock noon, Saturday, November
IS. l sincerely trust you will make
every effort to attend this meeting.
Your recommendation will be urged
upon the attention of farmers in
every township in which cotton is
grown in South Carolina.
"It is, in general, desired that the
recommendations, presented be as
simple and sufficiently as practicable,
shall include the approved plan for
procedure for the farmer from the
present time to next August, with
such suggestions as to time Of plant
ing, quality of land, etc., as you con-
slider pertinent"

YOUR LAST NAME
Copyright 1920. by The Mcclure Newspaper syndlcat.
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
is 1T MELVIN?

This name Melvin is agreed 20 be
a corruption of Melville. And Mel
Vile is usually derived from the
French place name Melville. One
family historian makes the claim
that the founder OF the family was
Baron Esmalevile or Malevilla in
the Pays de Caux, Normandy, who
flourished about 1880. The name
has been variously written Mala-
villa Malvill, Melium. Melville and
Melvin.
There was a Roger de Malavilla
in the reign of Henry I of Eng
land and the name was said to
have the signihcace of bad town
ship" However the French Mele-
vile certainly does not have this
significance. A John Melvin was the
first in the new world. He was a
tailor living in Charlestown, Mass.
