- The question of whether Douglas
Minis. star half back of Rock Hill high
is cligible"to play high school football
is to be decided 1T a meeting OF the
football committee of the South Caro-
lima High School league to be held in
Abbcville tomorrow, pursuant 10 call or
Prof. j. d. Fulp, chairman of the
committee. Some days ago Supt.
Murray Mack Of the Fort Mill school
wired Supt. ,Brockman OF Chester that
Minis had been ruled ineligible to play
football with Fort Mill because he had
been paid mony to play baseball with
the Fort Mill team. On Wednesday
Minis made public an affidavit from
WilbUrn Ferguson, manager of the
Fort Mill team in which Ferguson de-
posed and said that Minis received no
salary for playing with Fort Mill but
on two or three occasions the deponcnt
save Minis, n few dollars TO buy his
baseball equipment. Ferguson goes on
10 say that in no sense was Douglas
Minis hired to play on the Fort Mill
baseball team during the 1921 season
and any statement to the contrary is
untrue and an injustice to him. Rumor
has it that Minis played several games
with Lumbcrton n. c.. for pay last
year and that rumOr will he run down

There is also Il report that Minis play

there has been much talk-tOo much

game of the season and you are going
to let that Winthrop bunch walk away
with you. You are not fighting. You
are not giving me your best You

their heads in shame. Tears began to
flow from the eyes Of some. 1t was an
awful bawling out. Then Gressette

You've got the stuff in you, but you
are lot showing it." Then he slapped
them and knocked them on the back.
The whistle blew and the game start

vile High. The opposing team was
quick to detect the difference and they
seemed to realize they had lost. York
vile piled up 13 points and the game
was won. And most people were
agreed that Gressette's handling of a
critical situation was responsible for it.

The next great problem, in connec-
ton with the Boyd's Ferry bridge is
the construction of some good roads
thereto. With the exception of the
mile and a half of road built by the
county there is no good road within
five or six miles on the York county
side. 1t occurs to The Yorkville En-
quirer that good solution of the
problem would be to raise some road
funds by tolls over the bridge. The
toll over the Wateree bridge near
Camden is 50 cents n trip, or both
ways, provided the traveller goes and
comes the same day. The toll receipts
are said to average about $4,000 n
month. Such receipts as this would
help wonderfully on the roads to the
Boyd bridge and it really would not be
any injustice TO anybody. TO be sure
Mecklenburg should have say in the
matter of tolls; but the matter could
be arranged somehow.

Work County Banks.

II is a wonderful service thaL Ihe
York county banks have been rem
derine. to the people of this section. all
along and especially during the past
two years.
OF course the banks come in for ad-
verse criticism from time to time, and
possibly they are deserving of some
of it. No one is perfect, and the bank
people hare their failings the same as
others; but all of them are deserving
of more praise than censure.
Except for the banks this country
would not be in nearly as good con"
dition as it now finds itself; but on
the contrary, many people who. are
now not only solvent, but prosperous
would be bankrupt.
All the time for some of it ana a
part of the time for some of it, dur
ing the rast two years the banks OF
York county have helped the owners
carry something like twenty thousand
bales of cotton, maybe more, some OF
il from 10 cents a pound little over
year ago to the prices Of today.
At n rough estimate, we would say
that the banks of the county are
carrying not less than $4,000 bales OF
cotton at the present time.
Except for the banks, much of this
cotton would have been sacrificed at
prices that would not only have ruin
ed the owners of the cotton; but others
who had direct or indirect claim
| thereon.
Who, for instance, can conceive OF
the ramihcations and complications
connected with bale Of cotton worth
say $125. The title is in a, who owes
b, who owes c, who owes d, L, and
| T.. If A. must take $50 for the bale,
| then the others have to lose in pro-
| portion or wait indefinitely until A
can get the money in some other way.
In the payment of debts and helping
things along, that single bale Of cot
ton very often does the work Of thou
sands of dollars; and that being the
case think of 10000 bales representing
| $1,250,000, to begin with, and the
many additional millions in the work
of cleaning up debts.
Suppose it had not been for the
banks ard all this cotton had been
sacrificed at the bottom prices, what
would have. been the effect on the
economic structure Of this whole
country.
All of Us would have been financially
ruined ard set back for a generation
There is not a man, woman or child
in this country who does not owe the
sincerest thanks to the banks for
what they have done in staving off
calamity.
"But we paid them interest" is a
common and unthinking answer.
Yes we paid them interest; but few
laymen know what the banks have
been through, none perhaps except
those who still have in mind the long
list of bankers who sought escape from
| their troubles by the suicide route.
Happily there has been nothing OF
the kind in York county, and we have
| reason to believe that we speak ad-
visedly when we say that there has
not been a time in all this stress when
the depositOrs in York county banks
were in the slightest danger of en-
barrassmcnt; but the man who thinks
that York county bankers also-all Of
them-have not been having their
troubles. simply does not know.
In all fairness and justice we must
hand ii to the banks.

York county trappers complain that
they have had no luck so far this fall
for the reason that the weather has
been too warm and further because OF
the extended drouth which has made
tracking of animals well nigh impos-
siblc. Those who have caught minks
and other fur bearing animals, say
that the fur is not yet right" attrib-
uting its unsatisfactory quality to the
lack of cold weather. Several of the
best known trappers of the county
contemplate spending December and
possibly January trapping in the vi
cinity of Beaufort. Through a York
vile man who knew him, they have
made arrangements with Mr. II. H.
Lake of Beaufort, whereby they have
secured the right to hunt on certain
lands in the vicinity of Beaufort, said
to abound in fur bearing animals. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Lake, who is one Of the
best informed men III the state rela-
tive to the coast country, there are
many coons in the vicinity of Beaufort
and also numerous foxes, mink and
muskrats, as we'll as other fur-bearing
Gnimals. York county men who are
ecing say that it depends upon the
luck they have as to how long they
stay.
