Now that the hard fought day Is ended
with laurel for the favored few.
Tho cheering and the jeering blended
In praise or blame that may be due;
Now that the score has been completed
Beyond the shallow depths of fame

Wen turn to those who played the game.
Not in the losing or the winning
Success or failure for the day.
But from the battles first beginning
Wen take their work up, play by play
How we'll they tried, how they stood ready
Beyond the world crowds narrow sight

And speak for those who fought the fight.

ROYAL BATTLE FRIDAY

Friday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
will mark the time for the beginning
of battle Royal between Abbeville
High and Saluda High on the new
athletic field on Chestnut street.
Saluda has one of the strongest
football teams in the state, having
won every game played the past two
seasons. In fact only one team has
scored on the Saluda team this sea-
son, and that on a disastrous tumble.
Abbeville high has won five of the
six games played this season and to
win over Saluda Friday will put the
locals back in the running for the
upstate championship. So Abbeville
will "put out" Friday as never be-
fore and there is no question but
that every spectator will get his full
worth at this game.

FLORIDA MAN ANNOUNCES I'M
PORTANT DISCOVERY-PLANT
COMMISSIONER NEWELL HAS
DEVELOPED SATISFACTORY
METHOD OF CONTROL

Gainesville, Fla, Nov. 11.Develop.
ment of satisfactory method of cor
trolling the boil weevil on short ST
aple cotton was announced here to-
night by DR.. Wilmon Newell, plant
commissioner for the state plant
and director of the University of
Florida experiment station.
DR.. NeweD's announcement was
made as the result of the successful
elimination of research work by
George d. Smith associate entomolo
gisr conducted. under the auspices of
the state plant board.
Tho method involves principle in
boil weevil control heretofore not rec
ognized by other investigators, DR..
Newell stated and he added that the
total cost of treatment, labor includ
ed does not exceed $3.50 or So an ac-
re. In the fields treated the cotton
crop in nearly every instance has
been as large as that obtained prior
to the advent of the weevil.
While some poison is used the
amount is comparatively small. DR..
Newell said. By means of the inn
proved method a cotton field is clear
ed of practically all boil weevi1s cond
ton for several weeks. During this
period a good crop of bolls in set
without weevil interference.
Both the state plant board and the
experiment station Will issue immedi
ate bulletins on the improved method
of control.
"The boil weevil's weak point has
now been found" declared DR.. New
ell, "and by this method of control
the farmer will be able to hand him
a solar-plexus blow The treated fields
have produced just about as much
cotton as if there had been no boil

CHILE SUFFERS
DOUBLE TRAGEDY
EARTH SHOCKS AND TIDAL
WAVE-TELEGRAPH LINES
CARRIED DOWN AND COMMU-
NICATION WITH STRICKEN
TOWNS CUT OFF.

Santiago, Chile, Nov. 12.-Ar
earthquake of magnitude and fa1
spread effect rocked Chile from end
to end today 1t was accompanied by
a tidal wave and the combined force
of the earthtremers and the sweep of
the water did vast damage, the ex-
tent of which it is impossible to es-
innate because telegraphic lines were
carried down at various places, cutt-
ing off communication.
The provinces pf Antofagasta, Alta
caam and Coqulnbe suffered most,
the central points of the quake lying
in the latter two provinces and so far
as advices show, Copiapo in Atacama
has the largest casualty list with a.
bout 100 killed and many seriously
injured.
It was for time feared that the
city of Antofagasta had suffered a
great disaster, but most of the dam
age done at that place was due to a
tidal wave which drove the people
out of their homes over a consider
able area. No report of the loss of
life has yet come from .Antofagasta.
Chanaral, in Atacama has virtual
ly been abandoned by the inhabi-
tants, as many buildings were wreck
ed by the immense seas sweeping in
when the earth shocks had ceased.
The greater part of the town was
destroyed.
Throughout the province of Co.
quimbo hundreds of houses were lev
eled, while the residents fled TO the
hills.
At the part of Coquimbo a tidal
wave beat over the entire sea front,
flooding large section and wreck
ing many buildings.
From the southern part of Chile
came reports of severe shocks but
little damage.
Another earth shock was felt here
at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon. 1t was
of ten seconds duration.

MAY Be THOUGHT
Of TAX REVISION
PROPOSITIONS TO COME FROM
BOTH SIDES..UNDISTRIBUTED
SURPRISES OF CORPORATION
AND EXCESS PROFITS TO GET
ATTENTION.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The press
ing of several important tax revision
proposals in the Sixty-eight congres:
was forecast today by some leader:
of the progressive" Republicans anc
the Democrats on the basis of the
sharp changes in the sizes of the ma
jorities and minorities in the house
and senate as a result of Tuesdays
elections. They said revision pro-
positions would come from the ma.
jority and majority side.
Chief among the tax plans of the
Republican "progressives" is an i'm
post on the undistributed surpluses
of corporations, effecting also stock
dividends. Such tax also is favored
by the Democrats in the view Of Re-
preventative Oldfield of Arkansas the
minority "whip" and a member of
the ways and means committee which
deals with revenue matters.
Mr.. Oldfeld also expressed the o.
pinion that the Democrats would ia
for reenactment of the excess profits
tax, but in modified form: increas-
ed inheritance taxes on a graduated
scale and the imposition of a gift tax
in an effort to reach those of wealth
seeking to avoid the payment of
high surtaxes through gifts of money
to relatives.
These taxes have been opposed
by administration officers
who have made it plain that they
have not now in mind any general re
vision pf the existing revenue law,
which was enacted last year and
which became generally effective last
January l.
Proponents of the proposed chang
es expressed confidence today, how
ever, that with the change in the
house membership in the new con-
gress they would have more than an
even chance of success. progress
ive'' Republican leaders, in their es-
Inmates of strength, count on almost
solid Democratic support for their

Gratis look to the left wing of the ma
jority party for support for their
There seems to be more doubt in
the mid day of these leaders about
the situation to the senate, but they
expressed hope that with an increased
Democratic and Republican "progres
sive" vote there revision plan could
he put through. They pointed out
that it was the senate as now con-
stituted that upset the original pro-
oosal to reduce the maximum income
surtax to 92 per cent.
