BOYS SIGN PLEDGE, PAY A
DIME, SIT IN BLEECHERS
Lads No Longer Climb Trees or Peek
Through Knotholes To
View Games

Greenwood, S. c.. July 20.-Green-
woods boys no longer climb trees or
raise their voices In protest at deci-
sions of umpires of the Carolina base
ball league as seen through knotholes
in the fence. The keyhole Boys"
have moved inside and now do their
protesting from the first base line.
Visions of the days when inability
to raise a quarter kept him and his
friends from getting more than
stolen glimpse OF their favorite team
in action brought about formation of
the "Knothole Boys Club" here by
Joel S. Bailey. president of the Green
wood Baseball club and a member of
the local Rotary club. AS a result the
Greenwood Rotary club took up the
plan as a part of its boys work pro-
gram.
For the sum of 10 cents and pre-
sentation of a card issued when he
signs pledge, any boy In Greenwood
can Join the club. The plan is to get
every boy In town into the baseball
park and the results, it is said, have
been~so good that the Rotary club Is
planning to enlarge the bleacher sec
ton assigned to the boys. a.
The pledge the boys sign follows:
Il will attend Sunday school every
except in case of sickness. I
will not use curse words. I will not |
gamble. | will not lie. I will be |
honest. I will live a clean life. 7 have
read or had read to me. the above
obligation and / promise that I will
always try to obey it."
Membership in the club and atten-
ance at the ball games does not pre-
,lude the occasional visits to Gran
JAMS out in the country" or frequent
rips to the "old swimmin' hole" For
he Carolina league teams play only
On Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and

AERIAL FLIVVERS' SPEED
Experimental Glider Fitted With Twin
Engines Hits Speed of 65 Miles An
Hour at Altitude of $500 Feet.

London, July 20---Lsst years dream
of aerial flivvers has come true. An
experimental glider fitted with twin
engines of five horsepower and two
tiny propellors has. in its first test
fight, hit up a speed of IS miles an
hour and attained a height of $500
feet. The fight was made from the
airdrome at Lympne. with two hours
after the little plane had been unpack-
ed from a motor lorry.
It seemed easy to assemble the
many parts and not at all difficult,
from a financial standpoint, to keep
1t in the air. the gasoline consump-
ton being much less than for a small
automobile.
The propellors each yard In
length, are at the back of the front
plane, where a chain connects them
with the engine. The pilot sits in
front. The span of the front wings
measures only s3 feet, and the length
from head to all is IL feet. There is
hardly any undercarriage, the landing
wheels being attached to the body
itself.
This new glider will be entered in
the various European gliding con-
tests this summer. These are sure to
produce even greater sensations than
those of year ago, since in the in
terim the use of small powered en-
gines in airplanes has made distinct
progress

DIsNfANTLE 90 SALOONS.

Hartford, July 20. - Becoming
frightened at the warning of States
Attorney Aloorn that he intended to
use freely the paddock provisions of
the prohibition law where convictions
were obtained against violators, So
saloonkeepers are dismantling their
places, and yesterday it was stated
that only few saloons are open for

A few weeks ago Chief Justice
Wheeler of the supreme court of err

It is understood, called their atten-
ton to the increasing prevalence of
bootlegging, liquor selling and al
legged inertia in prosecuting cases.
The states attorneys held a confer
ence and Mr.. Alcorn made the first
move by publicly warning saloon
keepers that 1t was his intention to
use the injunction to close places
which persisted in selling liquor.
