Mayor John T. Roddey, of Rock Hill,. S. C, was among the 250 guests at the banquet giveji by the Greater Charlotte Club last Thursday night. Mayor Roddey was not on the program for a speech but was called on by Mr. W. S. Lee, and as The Rock Hill Herald expresses it, gave the Charlotte folks a line or talk that made them sit up and take notice. Among other things Mayor Roddey said that although Charlotte was four times as large as Rock Hill, every time Charlotte built an eight-story building Rock Hill would build one four-stories high; and when Charlotte had : a thirty-story building Rock Hill could boast of one ten stories high. Not content with this, Mayor Roddey offered to wager that Rock Hill would grow to the south bank of the Catawba before Charlotte grew to the north bank. The above rings true. It is full pf the right sentiment the sentiment that prompts the boosting of your town. Mayor Roddey Is a live wire. Rock Hill Is a live town and it haa been made so by the united, con certed efforts of its citizens. Its fa mous slogan, "Rock Hill Is a Good Town," Is known over the two Caro linas and the scheme whereby It Is planned, that Southern farmers should cut down the 1912 acreage of the cotton crop is known as the "Rock Hill Plan," because originated and put through by Rock Hill mer chants. What has been done In our sister South Carolina town can be done by Gaatonians. "Gastonla Is a Busy Town," haa always been ao and can be made busier in 1912 than it ever has been. . With the early arrival or the interurban line with the untold advantages In Its wake Gastonla has mote chance for Industrial develop ment and growth during the next few years than' any- other , ", town, within a radius of SO miles of Char lotte, in the two Carolinas. Let ev erybody resolve to make Gastonla a bigger, brighter better and busier Gastonla. . ." Mill Meetings.

These sre crises that bave been faced In the dressing room be tween the halves, with the team stretched out dirty and bruised. Lash ed by coacbea' tongues or stirred by the appeal personal, an apparently dls oiyauized and defeated, rabble often becomes a steady but furious fighting unit. "In 1905 Pennsylvania went to their drenslng room after pfaytng i 6 to II first half with Harvard. The tie score was misleading. Harvard, bad played the better foottmll. Tbey bad ripped the red and blue line to tatters. And Qarrard would' bave crusbed Pennsyl vania If Mike Murphy, the veteran trainer, bad not Jumped upon a table and talked three minutes to tbe team.

Tbe next half Harvard found a differ ent Pennsylvania team, a team whose emotions were keyed op to such a pitch that tbelr tierce football has never since been seen on Franklin field. Har vard was dased. awept away and beat enbecause a man spoke. "Another remarkable turning of a game between the halves occurred at Ithaca In 1905. Cornell led Columbia by 6 to 0 when the teams returned to the dressing rooms. Columbia bad not recovered from a wearing game with Princeton the week before. Many of tbe men were overtrained. . There waa a distinct feeling of the hopelessness of It all when tbe players lay down upon tbe floor and benches. Only Bill, s white bull terrier mascot, showed signs of liveliness. It was cold In the dressing room, and a trainer shook the ashes In tbe stove. He used a poker, tbe end of which became red not. When finally be laid down the metal rod the red whitened, but tbe heat re mained. Bill, deciding that the poker was to be played with like s stick, caught the beated end In his moutn. Instantly bis lips seared and turned black. Bill only shook tbe poker hard er. Two men grabbed him and tried to force him to open his mouth. But Bill fought back, and finally they had to choke him before be, would loosen his grip- It was then that Coach Mor ley nudged Captain Fisher and point ed to tbe dog. Catching the idea. Fish er sprang to bis, feet and built op a speech around Bill. He compared Bill's nerve to the team's and asked the men if they were not ashamed of them selves. . His closing sentence was, Just play for. Bill, Bill. Bilir "When Colombia returned to the field, Bill, yelping ( furiously, led the way. All through tbe half the team heard him barking from tbe aids lines. Said Von Saitxa. the big tackle, after the game. We beard every yelp, and It simply drove, ua.'
