Lancaster Citizen, Nov. 13: The an
nual Red Cross Call is now in progress
throughout the United States. Mr.. I.
E. Cheatham is chairman for Lancas~
ter county, and Miss Eta Skipper, eX-
'ecutive secretary of the Lancaster
Chapter, is also devoting her whole
time to the roll call.........-.-Mr. j. c. Nell
son has rented his home place near
Unity and expects to move to Lancas-
ter within a few weeks where he and

Chester Reporter, Nov. 13: The fall
term Of court O common pleas for
Chester county lasted only two days
court adtourning Friday morning when
the case of T. ]. Cunningham, Jr., VS.
Nathan Price was settled, and it was
announced that the other cases set for
trial had either been settled or con-
tinued. The case of Mrs. Susie D.
Crouch VS.. John Holder and DR.. w. D.
Barnes, which was in progress Thurs
day when The Reporter went to press,
resulted in a verdict for the plaintlf.
The jury found for the plaintiff, Mrs.
Crouch in the sum of S193.SO, the
amount sued for, or required the re-
turn of the car in the case-~-........Satur-
day was Armistice Day, but there was
nothing in Chester except the red
numerals on the calendar to bear evil
dence of the fact. 1t is commentary
on the fckleness of human nature that
the fine outbursts of sentiment and
patriotic fervor are so often succeeded
by hstlessness and indifference. -Four

wild with joy when it was realized
that Germany was overthrown, and
that the war had ended, with its
toll of life and blood and treasure
But there was little in Chester Satur-
day to bear testimony to the fact eX-
cept, perhaps, in some heart the re-
membrance of football that will never
be heard more, or the recollection on
the part of the ex-service men OF some
with that memorable day in the au-
tumn of 1918 when the order was issu-
ed fur firing to cease....-.--.T There is
considerable interest locally in regard
to the action of the committee OF

chairman, in reference to the case OF
Douglas Minis, Rock Hill football star,
who is declared by Fort Mill people tc
have received pay for playing baseball,
and, therefore, to have disqualified
himself for high school athletics, ano
how the ruling out of Minis would af-
feet the result of last Friday after
Moons game Superintendent Brock

Minis case is being investigated.
