H-vs Should Not Make Physical Prowcr^ Their Sole Object in (loins to School. (By Coach Gallop, of Piedmont Hi s', School for The S.ar.j Mr. A. E. Wiggam some mor.v, ago clearly faced us with ‘ten marl ’ of an educated man. What he said very true and bears upon our I'uijre well-being. One of the tea marks that especially struck me was relative to sound athletics - to s rong and youth ful athletes. An educated man “’knows the value of good habits and how t , form them." There cannot be a trut r saving, for the consideration of th at hletes of Cleveland county. , nd North Carolina’s champion, prospi m , If a young man has the idea of g.iieg to school only to develop a winning team, to receive for himself the bow • of being on a team that has w. t championship honors, with' little seli resrect, and no idea of develop., u mentally and morally that man ib soon reach the end of hi- rope. Sort young men rather, believe >bat a'.wi ning team can be developed from or:; :;r artistic standpoint—that a'-'coach car tamper with material by the or - cess of elimination and decision until n team will be brought forth. V a young man that attends school wr’ the object in view of passing en •jgl. work only to play on a team, has <|«... < idedly the wrong idea. He >s bound in the wrong direction, too, when he 1 lieVes that if he makes 75 per rem all his studies, he will make the team, and on the side dissipate hi- life away, have his whole vitality destroyed .by irregular sleeping and eating, and tv use of alcohol and tobacco. A winning: team cannot be produce! by the best coach in A wet .• a wh his- participators ar< reguiar dissipat o)v.. So if you po; s<: s a? v iluntary athletp a fair degree of knowledge of what it takes to develop winning fc a ms, you will agree with nre that t re must have good habits or be at: • to form better one-. Tempera nre i a fine by-word for athletes, "ho are virtuous and industrious. If you have not the same opinion as I of certain actual fact, concerning my recent ir I ’d - in The Star and this one. it goes to bear put my proof that education not your supreme aim in attending any ‘-bool. !t doesn’t make much differ ence what you know, nor how mu.u you know, but the way you uve leaf a ed what you do know mak < < irher at educated man or an uneducated man. An illiterate person stands a peer how of making a strong and alert athlete. He must have ideas end ideals before he can figure on cham pionship honors, A clear brain,, an alert lively boy is one of the results of training in the class-rooms and at home. One of the chief obnachs coaches have with some boy is that their par Cuts are too lenient with them in re gard to incessant dissipations. \ bright boy who is always on Ins toes on a basket-ball court—has also in h: veins a great percentage of iron that goes to make a man. He wii1 some day make a man who refrains from the use of tobacco, alcohol, and prac tices regular hours—and who wears a thinking cap on his head. 1 ntil all boys realize these few practical ne cessities, and actually practice them, athletics will ever he on a low s. r ■, The future hope of o.i • Country de ponds upon boys who know the value of good habits and how to form them, and who doggedly enforces them wtiiV our freedom, our liberty is at stake, »! we poorly train ourselves, and ap pear upon the battle-field —on the fif ing line unprepared, a failure! Young men, stop, look, listen—‘the day is here—you must reckon and rea son with yourselves. Is it better t > t.n individual’s well-being—to know a thing and pass it by indifferently, >r rot know it and ignorantly be force i to his doom? Greatly in symputh;. with the future manhood oi this cour tly, especially in Cleveland county—I beg that young men and older men reason from facts and conclude for llie present that education and regular hours, refraining from the use < f deadly “dopes”, will only produce, meu worthy of a test composed of compet itors and frequent and invariable dial lengers. Negro Boy Thought To Be Kidnapped Jesse Hunt, ten year ol<l noire youth of the Polkville section thought to have been kidnapped or induced to leave home against his "ih and officers are assisting nis parent.' in apprehending him. According to in formation learned here, Jesse Hunt, whose parents live on John A. Powt d plantation, was going home 1 r‘ ,n after school Friday afternoon when he suddenly disappeared. It is thougm. that Leroy Mauney, colored youth about 18 years of age, induced him away or took him by force. The ool.> trace found is Mauney bought two tickets at Kings Mountain for (,a * tonia and they are understood to Wave been headed toward York, S. C. I ne parents who live on the Powell place are very much upset over the disap pearance of their son. You never realized how frail and mortal a gyeat man is until he gets , interviewed on religion. • !
