NEWBERRY OPENS
ATHLETIC FIELD

The State.
Newberry, Sept. 16.-When the
Newberry college football squad re-
ported for practice Monday Coach
Mclean led it out on the new athletic
field, which, when completed, prom
ises to be one of the largest and best
fields in the state. It measures TOO
by $50 feet and provides ample sT2ce
for a football gridiron, baseball
field, quarter mile track, and tennis
courts. There will be, besides the
bleachers, two stands with e con.bin-
ed seating capacity of about 1000.
The old field w:lich now passes into
history has teen the scene Of many
close and exciting contests. In the
%, years of it's existence, it has been
used by three champion baseball
teams-those Of 1905, 1912, and
1917-besides other excellent aggre-
cations. Around it cluster memories
of such Sta ff1.aFnast
IS Simpson, ,,Gaba,1iss, Crouch, Ed
son, Smeltzer,, Baker, Renker, Ep-
ting, Taylor, Luther and many others
who have represented the Scarlet AMI
the Gray on the diamond. As grid
iron. Il. mas witnessed some notable
battles such as the 159 to 0 victory
Of Dutch Mclean and his team
mates over Bailey Military institute
in the first iaters:holas5:c game ever
witnessed in Newbery, the SO to 0
victory over the Presbyterian college
in 1913, the heart rend;Eg dsHeat Of
the Ind ans by the Bluessockings in
1916 by the margin of one field goa.,
and the victory cf MacLean's charges
over Presbyterian college last
Thanksgiving day. Among the out
standing players who have cavofted
over it with the pigsk:n are Mac
Lean, Swanton, Baker, Taylor, Rem
kin, Dellmin, McPhee, Beede and the
Borts brothers. In sense the old
field was monument to the well
known chairman of the faculty. eth
letics committee, DR.. E. B. Settler,
who was largely instrumental IN Sc
curing and equipping it in 1900 and
whose zeal fer pure athletics has not
abated jot during the ye'srs that
have passed.

DOES 1T PAY TO SELL COTTON
BELOW COST OF PRODUCTION

L = !. 5s-ssG So
N ruw- have about 90 !998 bales
of cotton held over from The 1921
crop and cotton is now selling. for
$4,000 bale more than it wasi12
months ago. Let's calculate little,
and see if it pays to hold cotton. A
great many are always ready to say
that it does not pay to hold cotton
but that the best way is to sell as
fast as you get it ginned. BY holding
these 100000 bales Of costen to date
we have added s10,0o0,000 Of wsa n
to the state. # this cotton had not
been. held off the market that amount
Of wealth would have gone into the
hands Of the spectators. Has il not
paid to hold it?
The same thing csn be done wl,n
the crop we are now gathering. l
think that our state will not make ov-
er 100000 bales this year and if held
off the market for even six months
at least 10c pound can be added to
the price it IS selling for today. An
other $50 a bale can be made, ado
ing s30,0OO,0o0 of wealth to our
state. Now, is his,wortn our while?
l certainly think it is. Considering
the condition of our state at present,
the business interests Of our state
cannot afford to lose this great
amount of money.
How can this enormous amount Of
money be saved and added to the
wealth Of the state. Cotton is one
Of the best collaterals in the world on
which to have money advanced ana
it is doubly so now, for it is admitted
by some of the best cotton men in
the world that we :?ave no+ enough
cotton for the worlds consun10 !ion in
1923 even if the consumption is no
greater for next year than It has
been this year. If this cotton IS ware
housed and the receipts turned over
to the bankers, l believe that they
can get money on them and | want
to urge every farmer who has not
signed his cotton to the Cooperative
Marketing association to warehouse
his cotton and keep it Off the mar

Adams:
American legion members from
the various posts over the state are
planning to attend the national con-
vention to be held in New Orleans
October 16 to 20. South Carolina
should be well represented as the
convention is not likely to be held SO
near fcme in many years. Cities in all
psrss Of the country want the br
meeting and It is>right that it snaasa
be shifted around. Members IN
South Carolina who are contemp!at-
ing attending the convention should
get in touch with the department ad-
jutant at Sparanburg and secure IN
formation with regard to rates and
accommodations. All hotel reserva-
ticns are to be made through the de-
partment adjutant.
"There are more than 100 posts in
South Carolina. About twenty-five
of these are on the inactive list. Vet
erars in the town where the legion is
inactive have it in their power to
render service to their comrades
and to the community by reorg:nl IL
ing the legion post. Any one who IS
interested will find the department
officers, members of the state execu-
tive committee and other leagion
leaders ready to assist in any way
possible. Get busy and reorganize
your post in time to celebrate Arm
istice day.
''The Greenwood post and the aux
iliary will present a play this week.
!rs. Sam Rosenberg is in charge Of
the affair and the legion members
are Optimistic ever the outcome. Le-
g;on posts over the state will find the
staging of minstrels and other anna
teur plays enjoyable to the members
and of financial assistance to the or
ganiZation.

that the Constitution may be amended in
