INDEPENDENTS WIN
 A WH|RLWIND GAME
Pirates Force Heavier Opponents to Play Two Extra Periods

Afternoon Basketball league went in- to first place in the pennant race Sat urday by defeating the Pirates Al to 3s. after two extra periods of play. While the Pirates were beaten, the youngsters finished the battle entitled to far more credit than the victors. Outweighed by mudh poundage. the "kids" did not let up for a moment, despite the fact that the Independ- ents used such we'll known players as Carl Restella, who is known all over the state; Stanley Howe, a member of the All-New Britain team; Harry Ginsberg, weighing nearly 200 pounds, and a former star at the New. Britain High school, and Darby" Carozza, least year with the champion Corbin team. In the lineup of the Pirates are many boys who will not vote for several years to come. When the teams lined up at the start of the battle, 1t looked like a fotilla of dreadnaughts against several row boats.
 Pirates Slow at Start.
 In the first half. the Independents
 
 leading at the intermission, 26 to 8. When the game started in the second half, Charlies Miller, the peerless leader of the Pirates, entered the line up, and he made his presence felt. The Pirates swept the Independents of their feet in the second half, and tust before the final whistle blew, the score was tied at 35 each.
 In the first five minutes of over- time play. the Pirates went into the lead on neat field goal by Wojack. However, Hope" Restella, receiving . pass under his own basket, man. aged to tie the score, and when the overtime period ended the score was stil ltied. The teams battled at break meek speed in the second over- time period, and the Independents managed to get an advantage.
 The foul shooting of "Chucky' Wo- Jack was about as clever as seen on the Y. M. c. A. court in many a day. In nine tries the youngsters male every one count. Steve Dulack was the chief scoring member of the win ners. LaIiar and Weir played splen- did basnetball for the kids"
 Another Fast Battle.
 The curtain raiser was between the Vikings and the Senecas. The Vikings went out. into lead in the first part of the battle, but in the second half, the Senecas staged a great come- back and pulled out IT to l6 vic- tory

THE COST OF CITY GOVERN.
MENT.

Mr.. J.. Moore Mars, Mayor of the
city, calls to our attention the fact
that a report of the city finances for
the past year, ending in April we be-
lieve, was made by him and publish
ed in the local papers. This we had
overlooked when we wrote the edi-
torial of last issue, else we would
have been able to give u readers
facts and figures on the matter con
sidered.
AS soon as we can do SO it is our
purpose to take up this report as
published and to call the attention of
the readers of this paper to its items.
Mr.. Mars kindly offers to make
explanations of any matters in the
report which are not clear to us, and
to furnish additional information as
to any matters not set out in detail
in the report. We shall likely have
occasion to ask for additional infor-
nation if we find the report in only
general terms as it has been in years
past.
1t is to the interest and welfare of
every citizen and taxpayer of the
city to know just how much money
is being spent in the city, for what
purposes and to whom. It is this in
formation which the Press and Ban
mel desires and which it promises to
give to the readers Of this paper. The
people will have a livelier interest in
the city government when they are
able to keep up with the acts and do
ings of the City Council. 1t is their
duty to know what money is collect
ed and how it is administered. We
want to help them.

mands of their trade. We believe it
will be considerably above rs
cents.
Exports Of cotton continue. Thus
far this cotton year they have
reached 100000 bales which is
675,0 900 bales above the same peri
cd of last year. Stocks abroad are
below those of a year ago-Great
Britain with $4,000 bales against
1y212,O0O; Bremen with 100000
bales against 6s3, 900 bales, and so
on. The worlds visible supply is A.
450,O0 bales of which 100000
are Americans, against 6,419,O0O
bales a year ago including $780,
600 Americans. Our port stocks are
at 625,O0O bales against 100000
bales a year ago while interior
stocks of 5000 Oo bales contrast
with 100000 last year.
The statistics, however they may
be analysed, contribute to the boil
stering of bullish sentiment to-
wards the price OF cotton. The
trade outlook, while it may be
somewhat confusing to the view if
the eyes turned only to today's
conditions, is likewise encouraging
to constructive price forecasting.
the crop outlook is poor from a
crop standpoint, which e bull
ish as to the price likelihood. To-
day, tomorrow, next week, the
price may hesitate, may sag from
day to day may show irregularity.
But on the easy points the late
year months may oe taken on in
comfortable assurance that over
the next few weeks the commit
ments should show stable profits,
with occasional opportunities for
taking the gains and repurchasing
at moderate recessions.

THE ~CLINCHFIELD

Concerning the taking over of the
Clinchfeld railroad, The State has
the following to say:
Elm the event of the sale of the
Clinchfeld railroad, the Southern
Railway company should not be the
purchaser. The Interstate Commerce
Commission, having under considera-
ton the ALLEGATION of the road,
should protect the public from the
monopoly that it would enjoy of the
the lines crossing the mountains
south of the .Virginian railway. With
the Clinchield in the hands of the
Southern, competition in the move
ment of coal from the fields Of south
western Virginia and eastern Ken
lucky would disappear, indeed, the
healthy competition contemplated
by the Transportation act, instead of
being promoted, would be placed in
extreme jeopardy.
Already transportation in the
Piedmont region of the Carolinas is
dominated by the Southern and, so
far as South Carolina is considered,
it's acquisition of the Clinchfeld,
would leave the towns and cities of
the northwestern and northern
counties nearly hopeless of benefits
derived from the service of railroad
ines under separate ownerships.
"Whether the Clinchield should be
allocated to the Southern, Atlantic
Coast Line, the Seaboard Air Line or
to the Seaboard Air Line and Illinois
Central (the four suggestions have
been offered, so The State is in
formed, to the Interstate Commerce
Commission by it's investigators in the
furtherance of its plans to group
the railroads.&c. is enough to say
that the people of the Piedmont dis
trict believe that they have a right
to look to the commission 70 save
them from domination by a single
transportation company.
"This opinion, The State believes,
is generally held in South Carolina,
and, whether or not there be likeli-
hood of the early sale of the Clinch-
field, it is not too early for the press
to make itself heard, in order that
the Interstate Commission may have
all Of the information possible bear
ing on the subject"
The facts stated and conclusions
drawn by The State are true and cor
rect in every way. 1t would be a cal

.amitv to this section for the Clinch-
field to fall into the hands OF the
Southern Railway. The last named
railroad has dominated the business
Of the Piedmont, as so we'll stated by
the State, for many years. In the
section between Greenville and COL
inmbia it has reaped a rich harvest,
if such a harvest is to be reaped by
q railroad. The people out of neces-
sity have given them the business
of this section to a very large ex-
font. Even where there has been
competition in the carrying business
the Southern Railway, on account of
it's connections, or from preference
on the part of shippers, has received
by far the greater part of the bust
ness in it's line.
And the Southern Railway has
made but a poor return for this bust
ness. 1t has done nothing to develop
the towns into which it goes. 1t has
run as few trains and as poor trains
as it could dare to run. The equip
ment of the Abbeville Branch is not
much o than that of the trains
on the Columbia and Greenville line.
No modern accommodations have
been offered the people h%ereabout al
though the Southern Railway has re-
ceived much more patronage from
passengers than have the other
railroads. &,
We therefore hope, if there is to
be a readjustment of things in rail
road circles, and if the Clinchfield is
to become a part Of some other sys-
tenn, that it will be taken over by the
Atlantic Coast Line or by the Sea-
board Air Line, or by some other
railroad system which will be inter-
ested in giving the people some &C
commodations both as to travel and
freight movement. With only one
railroad coming out of the coal fields
into this section, the business would
be handled at all times to suit the
one carrier and not with due regard
to efficient service, we fear. Two
railroads hauling coal from the same
section into this section, who re-
ceived the same compensation for the
service rendered, could secure bust
ness as against each other only the
measure of service which each rem
dered the public.
Then again, were the C%linchfeld
to be turned over to the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad we might hope
that more and better trains would be
put into operation " e the whole
system. The Charleston and Western
Carolina Railway, connecting with
the Coast Line in Augusta and with
the Clinchfeld in S~partanburg might
become a part of a great trunk line
for carrying both passengers and
freight between points on the Clinch-
field and Southern points. At any
rate such a disposition Of the Clinch-
field, in our judgment, would mean
much more to this section than the
disposal of that road to the Southern
Railway. The same may be said with
regard to the acquisition of the
Clinchfeld by the Seaboard Air Line.
