NEWBERRY-C Y-CITADEL TEAMS
LEADINGIN BASKETBALL
Columbia Record. 9Th.

Columbia Record. 9Th.
Carl Weimer in The Charleston
News and Courier, one of the livest
and most enterprising sports writers
in the Salhe league circuit has taken
time from his multitudinous duties to
analyze the intercollegiate basketball
race as follows:
1t seems almost certain that the
state championship honors will either
go to Newbelry or to the Citadel this
year. The Citadel has not lost a
game, while Newberry has lost but
one, that to the cadets here by a
three-point margin. The Citadel has
won from Newberry, Clemson and
Furman.
Newberry has defeated Furman
twice, Presbyterian college Of South
Carolina twice, the University OF
South Caraolina at Columbia, Wolf
ord, at Wofford, and the College of
Charleston here.
It will be seen that Newberry has
yet to play Carolina, Wofford, the
Citadel and the College Of Charleston
games, but all of these contests will
be played at Newberry. And New
berry has not been defeated at New
berry in some years. The Citadel will
make two road trips this year. This
week the cadets will play Wofford at
the Y. NJ, C. A. Friday night. The
Methodists are slated to battle the
College of Charleston Thursday.
Should Newberry win all Of It's
remaining games and the Citadel Win
all of it's games except the game at
Newoerry then there will be another
souabble, or rather dispute as to the
state championship PROBABLY as each
team would have lost but one game.
Clemson will not be played by New
berry this year as has been explained
before in these columns. The Citadel
has defeated Clemson here and will
play the Tigers in Clemson. Should
such a dispute arise then there would
be the need of basketball confer
ence committee to decide the matter.
But all of this is borrowing trou-
bic. Neither the Citadel nor New
berry has won al of its games as
vet. There are several other teams
in the state that are determined to
give them lots of trouble before such
a claim can be made.

Quested the commission to provide for
the building of fiat and the mainte-
nance of ferry between Aston and
Peak, and it was stated that Fairfield
county would bear one half of the
expense of building the ferry and al
so in the maintenance of it. The
commission decided to recommend
to cur legislative delegation to pro-
vide for this ferry. 1t should be
done, because the river without some
convenient way Of crossing makes
near neighbors very far apart. 1t
would be great convenience to cit
liens en- both sides Of the river.

SWEET POLTCES SENT
TO KING AND PREMIER

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 6.-Sou-
thern sweet potatoes, served in one of
the appetizing dishes made famous
by Dixie housewives, will soon be on
the tables of King EGeorge and Pre-
m;er Lloyd George sof Great Britain,
specially prepared packages for them
having been among the shipment Of
1000 pounds, forwarded from Char
lesion to Liverpool on the steamship
Wekika.
The Southern sweets are being sent
to England for the purpose of intro
duc;ng this excellent food staple
through the joint efforts of the Sou
thern Railway system, the Carolina
company, steamship forwarding
agents of this city; and the South
Carolina Sweet Potato association.
The potatoes werespacked in five
pound cartons, each < containing a
copy of the attractiteybooklet recent
ly published by the Southern Rail-
way system, showing recipes for pre-
pairing sweet potatoessin in the most ap-
proved Southern styles, and other
literature giving information as to
the food value of The sweet potato and
the extent Of it's growth and use in the
South. or
Arrangements have been made for
the distribution Of these packages
through selected British dealers and
it is expected that they will prove so
attractive to the families who get
them that an additional market for
Southern sweet potato growers will
be established.

This bill has not made fight on
'Moorefeld.' If he has been made the
goat it is possible that such has been
done by others higher up. Our bill
was introduced in the house after an
nouncement by one of the authors
that it would be introduced, and has
been held in committee for more than
a week to give all parties interested
hearing. Rumor had it that our
bill did not meet federal aid require
ments. We put no faith in this. This
defect in our bill was called for from
the federal authorities but was not
forthcoming"

Inc SOutn CarOllna cooperative
Live Stock association will supply a
much needed relief and assistance to
the stock growers of this state For
the first time in history our govern
ment has seen fit to come to the finan-
cial assistance and aid of the stock
growers.
His has indeed oeen a lone fight in
the past, and still in the present. The
majority of the banks do not con-
slider live stock good collateral. The
few that do give it any consideration
at all do not extend their loans over
so per cent of the value of the live
stock offered as security. Now the
government has at last extended a
helping hand. 1t can not be blamed
for not recognizing the industry in
the past as the venture was too risky.
1t would have had to depart from its
sound business methods to have done
so.
There has at last been an act pass
ed that makes it possible for live
stock grower to obtain very liberal
loans on his stock. Although the war
finance corporation, from which this
assistance can be had, does not rec
ognize the individual live stock grow
er, it does recognize an association OF
growers.
The South Carolina Cooperative
Live Stock association has been form
ed according to the requirements OF
the laws laid down by this act. By
being member Of this association
a grower is privileged to receive or
borrow from two-third5 to three
fourths of the market value of his
live stock. The money thus obtained
can be expended in en!arging the
herd, fattening, breeding and orderly
marketing, and, in fact, in any way
that applies to this particular indus
try.
Thus the members of this assoc:a-
ton will bring thousands upon thous-
ands of dollars into the state. This
is going to put new life into the veins
of the industry instead Of letting it
smash on the breakers of demoral-
lied market.
With the assistance offered by the
association the live stock industry
should grow as it will bring about
condition that would eliminate the
speculator and give the producer
chance to marke his live stock order
ly and at time when a justifiable
price can be obtained.
The grower must do his part. The
has offered to meet him
half way. If the grower grasps the
opportunity that is offered him, pros
perity will take the place of poverty.
The exercise of good judgment by
the stockmen of this state will make
a land mark in its history.

ALL ACTS SIGNED &
BY FHE GOVERNOR
"Bank Slander" Measure Now Law


The State, 7th.
Governor Cooper yesterday COM
pleted the signing of all the acts and
joint resolutions so far ratified by the
general assembly at the present ses-
sion, GO in number Only half doz-
en- statewide acts have been passed
at the present session, practically all
of these being held over from last
year. The large majority have been
local measures.
Only two statewide acts were in
those signed yesterday. They were the
measure to further provide for the
proving of wills in common form and
the act to punish any person making
false statements about banks. This
"bank SANDER" act, it is claimed, will
afford much protection to the banks
in South Carolina. The act is as fol-
lows:
"Be it enacted by the general as
sembly Of the state of South Carolina
That any person who shall falsely and
wilfully and with intent to injure, cir
culate any report or make any false
oral statement as to the assets or liza
bilities of any bank in South Carolina,
or to its solyency or ability to meet
its obligations, or as to its soundness,
or who shall make any other false oral
statement calculated to affect the
credit or standing of said bank or to
cast suspicion upon It's solvency,
soundness or ability to meet it's depos-
its or other obligations in due course
shall be deemed guilty of misde-
meanor and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than $500 Or
be imprisoned for not more than one
year or both in the discretion of the
court"

FAULT OF THE PUBLIC

The first woman to be elected to state supreme court justiceship says that "the ad- ministration of our criminal laws is disgrace to the country.'' But she declares the fault lies witt the people who take too little interest
 in what the courts are, doing, and have too little respect for the law the courts are trying to enforce It is doubtless true that suffi- cient public demand would bring speedier administration of justice either through a change in court procedure or in amendment to existing laws.. Certain it is that the most fragrant cases of violent crime are permitted to go months and even years before punishment is finally administered, if, indeed, the culprit does not eventually go free. %

THE DAUGHEBTY CASE

In the face of the announcement made by those who have been pushing the charges for the impeachment of Attorney General Daugh- erty, the apparent collapse of the proceedings before the House Judiciary Committee points to one of two things: Either the allegation on the part of Representative Keller that the case is being "whitewashed" is true, or the evidence in support of the charges, of which it was claimed there were startling things un- known to the general public, has failed sur prisingly to materialize. It is an outcome that is to be regretted If the charges against the head of the Department of Justice had basis in fact, they should be given the fullest disclosure. If the charges were not true, they should be shown so In either case, the matter should be prosecuted to its conclu- sion. Justice to both the defendant and those who have charged him with gross mal- feasance in office, demands thorough airing of the whole matter Neither 'whitewashing" on the part of the Judiciary Committee, nor "stalling' on the part of the Congressman who hitherto have been loud in their denuncl- ations of the Department of Justice official, is proper exhibition of public trust, and IS as unfair to the public as to both parties to the case The right to make public accusa- tions of personal corruption and malfeasance in office should involve the obligation to prove the charges Mir. Daugherty's demand that the case be prosecuted to the end will be echoed by the public, which is as much con- cerned in it's just conclusion as either of the parties to it.

SUFFERED FROM FICTION WRITERS

Alaska, Nome included, has suffered unjust llv by t!le impression which has been conveyed to the Outside world Writers of romance have strained the truth to retain the local color which is believed to be necessary to success in fiction, and newspaper and magazine core spondents have not dared to trust the plain facts entirely and have found it advisable to emphasize all the features of life in the Terri tory with the result that our cold IS the coldest on earth, our people are the widest on the continent, our homes are the crudest, our English is the most barbarous, our courts are six shooters and all of us are, in short, about half civilized and living under conditions which would satisfy no other people with skins of the same color in all the wide globe.
 To offset such ideas would be really hard, indeed They have received so great start that it almost seems like attacking religion So rooted have those impressions becomeg But at all times Alaskans should raise their voice to spread the truth about such matters if it were for no other purpose than the spreading of truth alone We ought to let it be known that we really live like any other people in the United States, strange as 1t might seem, and that we are not at all burrowing into snow houses and living off blubber or performing any of the antics that some gullible people in New York and elsewhere imagine to be our regular practices.
 Writing in Nome for people who will read this paper far away, and writing something that will be published here in Nome where all arc witnesses to the truth of it, the statement can be made without hesitation that in no town of equal size in any land can a more pleasant time be enjoyed than right here in this city. As matter of cold facts the winter time in Nome is regarded by many as the pleasantest and best period of the year in many ways. No town of equal population can offer more diversions with greater pleasure. ROthers may be able to travel further afield Efor pleasure in winter but the very limitation of our field makes the pastimes more frequent and creates conditions which gives such pas time greater zest This is fact and one can say no more no matter how long he might take to say it-Nome Nugget.

AN ILLUMINATING ANECDOTE

Hon. James H. MacLafferty, a brand new Republican Representative from California, made his maiden speech recently, and it was on the shir aid bill. He related an anecdote which was interesting and decidedly pointed to illustrate the absence of the American Flag on the ocean before the war. He was coming back to America on an English boat in 1916 when the passengers deserted a little vessel bobbing up and down on the waves, which, as the grew nearer proved to be a small Ameri- can steamer bound to Japan from Puget Sound. As she broke out the Stars and Stripes the British captain exclaimed: ooh, by love, she is ar American! I wonder what she is doing so far away from shore'' And now British pro paganda aided by Democratic partisanship and iaundiced vision, would scrap the entire American merchant marine in order that we may never get that far away from shore again. How can any wise American approve such actions
