Red Devils Whip
ChadbOurn 27-O
BY WILLARD G.. COLE

Held to a scoreless deadlock II
the first half by an inspired Chad.
bourn eleven, Tabor City high
school Red Devils ran wild in the
final two periods here Friday after
noon to swamp the visitors 81 to Q
Apparently powerless for half 0!
the contest, Tabor City came back
from the intermission and tongue
lashing from Coach Caruso to count
twice in the third period and twice
more in the fourth quarter.
The deadly passing arm of Fred
Soles. who literally got up out OF
a sick bed to play, and the receptive
and running genius of the injured
star scatback, Ted Fipps, who played
with an ailing back, spelled the diS-
ference.
Fipps caught two passes from Soles
to scamper to pay dirt in the third
and came back with 75-yard run
in which he side-stepped, reversed
his field and hula-hipped his way
across the goal line. He was aided
in his touchdown jaunt by two bril-
liant blocks t!lIoTl ky Harold W.
and Sam Jackson, the latter showing
magnificent form after missing The
Wallace game week earlier.
The final touchdown was account
ed for by Fred Jernigan, Jr., the Red
Devils capable blocking back and
signal caller, who has carried the
ball only a few times the entire
season. In three plays with Jerni-
gan carrying the pigskin, he scored
from the 20-yard marker.
Three of the four extra point at
tempts were converted by Soles Wao
dashed through the line.
Ralph Baxter, an all-county cen
ter if there ever was one, was not
IN TOD shape, having suffered from
the flu for several days, but he gave
a good account of himself. and Har-
old Rogers, an ail-county hneSman
OH dnyDOUy lCdlll, gOOh SSAS ~ 49,
share on both offense and defense
Earl Stanley, who is expected to
develop into a 1947 mainstay, showed
Improvement over early season play
In addition to the ailing and in
jured players on the Tabor City
squad, Andy Jernigan, star line
plunger and punter sat this one
out no the sidelines. He was an
other victim of the flu.
When Jernigan plunged over the
goal line in the final quarter Fri
day, it was the 18th touchdown
registered by the Tabor City eleven
this season against six by their OPP
ponents. Five of the six opposition
scores were made by Hallsboro, leaV-
to register against Coach Caruso5
boys.

FOOtballers End
Season Today

Tabor City Red Devils will wind
UP their 1916 football season with
a game at Wallace Friday afternoon.
Coach Caruso and his squad will
leave for the strawberry capitol
early Friday morning.
Despite a 6 to 0 victory over tie
Wallace eleven two weeks ago, .hc
Red Devils will enter the game as
the underdog. Due to injuries and
and epidemic of flu, the local lads
will not be in top condition for the
enconter and a repetition of their
form against Chadbourn last week
when it took half the game to get
started would be disastrous against
the powerful Wallace eleven.
The Red Devils go into their final
game with a record of five victories,
two ties and two defeats.

Rips Building
At State Line

For the second time within three
months, Tabor City and the sur
rounding countryside was rocked by
4 terrific explosion early yesterday
morning when a combination SER
vice station and residence across
the South Carolina line in Horny
County was blown to bits. The blast
occurred about 3 o'clock.
Only by the coincidence Of last
minute decision to spend the night
with a friend after attending an oy-
ster supper. Mrs. Clinch Powell,
her child and mother, who have
been making their home IN she
building, escaped the explosion. The
powerful charge tore the building
to shreds and left a deep hole where
the force of the dynamite swept
downward. Scores of citizens were
awakened by the explosion and WIN
dows ratified two miles away.
One month ago yesterday the fill
ing station-residence was the scene
of the fatal shooting of Curtis Ste

phenS, World War veteran. Clinch
Powell, state line cafe operator, was
released from Horny county Jail at
Conway, S. c., under bond last week
in the case. Mrs. Powell is the eS-
tranged wife of the alleged slayer
She was an eyewitness to the
shooting and testified against Pow
ell at the coroner's inquest when he
was held for trial in superior court.
Powell was taken into protective
custody by Horny county authorities
but whether any charge had been
placed against him was not learned
here.
The explosion this morning was
similar to the dynamiting of Gore
lake dam on September l when the
mill house was blown from its pill
lars and the waters covering TOO
acres were unleashed into the Wac
camaw river. Perpetrators OF that
crime have never been apprehended.

GOODMAN, (SpeciaD. The Bull
dogs Of Holmes had a field-day at
the expense Of the Southwest Jr.
College Pilots, and won easily by a
topheavy score of 27-G. The Holmes
first team shared a greater part of
the game with the reserves in order
TO give some Of the injured members
a much needed rest. Several first
stringers are still out with injuries
from the Ellisville and Decatur
games. Holmes took the opening
kickoff and marched to the 80 yard
line where Earl Howell passed to
David Mcdonald for the first score.
Hugh Bailey converted from place
ment The second Holmes score
came early in the second quarter
when Howell, circled end for 25
yards to score standing. Howells
attempt was good score. Holmes II
Southwest 0. Early in the third
quarter Howell was able to break
into the clear and with good block
ing reversed his field and scored on
d As yard run The attempt for point
was wide. Midway the final period
Howell went through the lire on a
spinner, and was in the clear for a
score from the 35 marker Bailey
was successful on his second attempt
finad score Holmes 27 Southwest 0.
The Holmes line played heaas-up
ball and charged well. First downs
favored Holmes 1877. The passing
attack of the Bulldogs was very
accurate, and Howell was able to
find receivers well down the field.
The Bulldogs play their final home
game of the season Friday night,
November 22nd, meeting the Kinds

AT Committeeman To
Be EIetted Soon

Farmegsr in Holmes county will
receive notices within the next few
days about annual elections of Com
munity and county farmer-comm-
ittees, E. r. Trotman, County Ad-
ministrative Officer, of the County
Agricultural Conservation committee,
said today.
Each OF the county'S seven farm
ing communities will elect comm
ltteemen and alternates, as well as a
delegate to the county convention
where a three-man county comm
lttee will be elected. Announcement
Of the definate dates, hours, and
places for holding the elections are
now being determined.
E. r. Trotman said that approx
imately $500 farmers are eligible to
vote in the election this year. Eli
gible farmers are those who are
participating in the 1916 Agricultural
Conservation Program or who have
a contract with the Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation. This includes
owners, operators, tenants, and
sharecroppers on farms where the
conservation program is being carr
led out.
In announcing the coming elect
ions, E. R. Trotman urged that all
eligible farmers vote. Since the
committeeman are responsible for
developing, adapting, and admins
tering national farm programs to
meet local problems and needs, it
is important that the men elected
really represent the choice of the
Of farmers in the comm
unity.
