November, too, was one Of the times
for these same Druids to rekindle
their supposedly sacred fires. How
ever, the superstitions of the pagans

in the year was the time when super
natural influences were strongest. So

kins, an expert radio man of Charlotte
operating Western Electric No.

outfit. True there was considerable
static" in the air, according to
Operator Tompkins, and this from
time to time became so great that it
drowned out the concerts coming in
over the wireless from the Atlanta.
Journals station in Atlanta, Ca,
Davenport, Iowa, Pittsburgh, Pa, De-
troit. Mich, Louisville, KY; Phila-
delphia, Pa. and Havana Cuba. AS it
was, however, the concerts going on
over radio in most of the cities men,
toned could be heard quite distinctly
from time to time and quite a crowd
gathered in front Of Mr.. Barron's store
and in the vicinity to enjoy what was
decided novelty here. 1t was ex-.
planned by Mr.. Tompkins that as the
weather becomes cooler there will be
less confusion because of static in
the air.. and local people who have
good radio outfits should receive much
pleasure from their instruments this
winter. Thehoutft used here Wednes-
day evening Consisted of loud
speaking receiver with curved horn
and an Az stage vacuum tube amplf-
fer, equipped with three vacuum
tubes. This kind Of outfit, as demon
strated by Mr.. Tompldns the other
evering, when connected to a we'll de-
signed vacuum tube radio receiving

current will reproduce and amplify
all forms OF broadcasted speech and
music with the highest degree Of
clarity and of tone quality. The con-
certs received here from over the
country and Cuba Wednesday even
ing included speeches, sermons and
vocal and instrumental music and
would have been perfect but for the
static electricity which could not be
eliminated at times to a satisfactory
degree.

SCHOOL ATHLETIC ROW

In a statement issued yesterday r.
c. Burts, superintendent of the Rock
Hill city schools declared that there
was no foundation to rumdrs that
ringers" or ineligible men were play
ing on the Rock Hill football team.
Superintendent Burts' staten ent was
as follows:
There are rumOrs from various
quarters that there are ineligible play
ers on the Rock Hill High School foot
ball team. !, l wish TO state that have
checked the record of each man on the
team, and every man is eligible ac-
cording TO the rules of the State High
School League. Various charges have
been made against certain players on
our team, but no facts have been pres
ented to the school authorities to sup
port these charges. The patrons and
friends of. the public schools may be
sure that we will not play anybody
who is not eligible"
When shown the statement Of Mr..
Burts last evening, E. A. Montgomery,
superintendent of the Yorkville school
said: "One thing is certain. l am
satisfied that Players Minis and Shultz
are ineligible. Rock Hill is scheduled
to play my boys here this afternoon at
$3.50 and if an attempt is made to
enter Minis and Shultz there will be no
game.
while I am not just at this time
in possession of the proof, am morally
certain that both Rock Hill and Ches-
ter are violating the spirit Of the rules
of the Catawba High School Athletic
Association by playing ineligibles. l
am not the only school head in the as
sociation who is Of that opinion. School
authorities of Fort Mill, Winnsboro,
Great Falls and other towns feel about
it just as l do, and they have more in
formatio than l have. Unless there is
thorough house cleaning in the asso-
citation I am Of the opinion that the
athletic division is going to result in
the withdrawal of all the members,
leaving Chester and Rock Hill to fight
it out alone.
81 resent insinuations being made in
certain quarters in Rock Hill that /
am the only disgruntled school head
relative to infringements of rules gov
erning the eligibility of players" Su-
perintendent Montgomery went on to
say. "The truth of it is that those who
feel about it as 1 do are in the big
majority and l for one refuse to stand
further for this thing of winking at
the rules"

Governor Harvey is making a strong
fight for constitutional government in
South Carolina; but the odds are sad
ly against him. In the first place, the
newspapers are not cXerting them
selves to place the issue before the
people. and in the second place the
governor will have TO give up his of-
flee before he has had time to fight ii
out. The fact Of the matter is that
the courts have been usurping the
functions of the executive in direct
violation of the constitution and it is
only occasionally that the state has
had an executive with the gumption
necessary for n stand. And for Obvi-
Gus reasons it takes Gumption. For
instance, no matter how plain the
wording of the constitution on q given
point, interpretations the meaning be-
longs TO the court and what the court
says goes. If the court says two and
two make five, then five it must be.
And when there is a difference be-
tween tho executive and the chief JUG
tiCe over the constitution, who would
expect the chief justice to decide that
difference in favor of the chief execu-
tive? Possibly there is no cOnstitu-
tiOnal question in that AIittle case:
but it certainly looked like q matter
for executive authority. Mittle, who is
said to be a wealthy man, killed J. II.
Patterson, in Orangeburg county in
November, 1920, and upon conviction
was sentenced to nine years in the
pcnitentiary. He gave bond, however.
and was allowed to remain at liberty
for two years while his lawyers were
seeking new trial on various pre-
texts. The supreme court sustained
the court below in two separate de-
cisionS, then on a petition setting
forth that Mittle intended to appeal TO
the United States supreme court.
Judge Mauldin signed an order stay
ing the supreme court order. for ninety
days. Unwilling to stand for any
more such trifling with the law. Gov
crnor Harvey ordered the mans i'm
mediate arrest. Then they came at
the governor with a petition to give
their client Il little willie in ,.nich to
arrange his private Affairs. The ah-
surdtty Of this request was emphasized
by the fact that the man had been at

While South Carolinians are without
any part in the great national cam
paign now in progress and which will
come to q showdown next Tuesday,
they are naturally very much interest
ed in the outcome especially as to
whether or not the Democrats will
make gains in the house and senate.
The main concern of both parties, of
course is to get the Offices, and that
will have more influence on the voting
than any other consideration. The
Democrats generally are insisting that
considering their great opportunity the
Republicans have done nothing during
the past two years and the Republi-
cans are claiming that they have ac-
compiSlIcd all that could reasonably
be- Expected of Them, laying especial
stress on the business conditions pre-
vailing now as compared with Condi-
tions prevailing when the Democrats
were turned out of power. The Re-
publicans are making considerable
capital out of the heavy reductions in
taxes effected by the present revenue
law, and the Democrats are claiming
that this reduction has been effected
at the expense of heavy deficits that
will have TO be made up by increased
taxes later.

There is need for hard surface road

the only way to get it is to build it..
The road from Yorkville to Rock Hill
is the most important in the county,
judged by the amount Of traffic it
carries and the road from Yorkville
to Bowling Green is the next most
important. There is no use in any
more cold feet in connection with the
building of these roads.
