VT'ESTfiRDAY we chortled of u the gloomy forecast by Coach Gil Pobie, of Cornell. ' Ti lay we'll build a yarn about a f "ow who is as optimistic. (pro s' sonally speaking) as Uobie is ai ays pessimistic. Fhe central figure of today’s story is “Navy Bill’ Ingram, coach of the football team at the United States Naval Academy in An napolis. While Pobie of Cornell was p»lling his Hair and shedding tears 0 sadness over the conditions at P aca, Ihgrf.m was shouting from t ■ house tops that the Navy team was going to be a world beater. 0- er-zoalous press agents from the Naval Academy were aiding Bill in h broadcast of Navy strength and power. Ev-n the most hard-boiled >rt - writers were being whipped 1- o Ime through the intensitv .of t ' ballyhoo. It sure looked like a V' *, expansive Fall season for your 1 cl- Samuel’s embryo sea fighters. The first regular game of tlic s- .son found the Middies clashing v th Pavis-Elkins, a school which t ■ ^ Navy had trimmed in a decisi ve r inner last Fall. The West Vir t iians were looked upon merely ; s a workout for the lads from ..' .mapolis, but when the smoke of battle had cleared away Davis Kikins was found on the top of a 2-0 score—a safety being the only point registered. That isn’t a wide margin, to be sure, but neverthe less it is a victory. However, it was an early game and the Middies might not have “found” themselves. Such things are possible. Then, too, Davis E ltd ns may have an especially strong team this Fall. That, too, is possible. But when the Boston College came into the Navy’s back yard at Annapolis a week later and won 0—0. it began to look as if pos sibly the Middies had been over rated prior to the opening of the regular grind. It’s true that this game was a hard fought contest but apparently the Navy had no logical alibi to offer. Somehow or other the work of the so-called first Navy team in the opening half of this struggle j must have upset the optimism of I “Navy Bill” Ingram, because he > started the second half with an all-substitute team. Despite early setbacks, Ingram’s ore-season optimism is not en tirely stamped out. Saturday the Mick:; :s meet Pennsylvania and having been trimmed last season 12-6. Penn will be out for re venge. After tomorrow’s struggle Navy still faces a touch schedule. with such teams as Michigan, Loy ola and Princeton on their schedule. Last year’s Navy team suffered three defeats, going down before Notre Dame, Michigan and the .Army. And in spite of Ingram’s optimism, that’s probably a better record than the present team will make. Ingram, however, is _ a clever handler of football material and the finish of the season may find the Navy giving an account of itself which will fully justify the early ballyhoo from the Naval Academy. At the start of the season Bill had 33 starting players and the fact that the subs in the Boston fracas gave as good an account of Miemselves as the starting team proves that Ingram was not over rating the value of his reserve strength. He’s been concentrating on players under 21 years of age and averaging about 180 pounds on the scales. Older and heavier players, he believes, are inclined to be sluggish and, in this, he is arguing along sound lines. Comparing Dobie and Ingram may seem like comparing a cloud burst to a day of sunshine. If Cornell, in the face of Gil's pes simism, finishes with a good year and the Navy ends in the muck it might seem a victory for pes.i mism—but will it be?

E. church held its regular meet ing Saturday evening October 13, 1928 with Mrs. Arilai Elliott. The program rendered was very inter esting and an “eye-opener” of prev alent conditions which are common, it is believed, to the average com munity, The topic of the discussions was ‘Winning My Community.” Under this topic were considered, not only prevailing conditions and problems, but solutions and a dis cussion of some principles oi com munity organizations occupied the foreground. The text from which much of the inspiration, help, and thought was derived was a publica tion edited by Mrs. W. A. Newell. In the business session of the meeting it became known that the week of prayer will be observed be- i ginning October 31, omitting Nov. 3,1 and running through Nov. 4, in uni- j son with Kadish, St. Peters, and Palm Tree. It was decided that Kadish should be the meeting, place. After the program refreshments were served by the hostess and this concluded an enjoyable afternoon by all present.

Yandell, of Jackson, Miss., in Record, of Batesville, Ark.) At this time there are lots of things being said for and against the two nominees of the major po litical parties, Smith and Hoover. %n my section of the country, the South a few religious bigots and intoler ants are against Governor Smith be cause he Is a Catholic. If you Will sound them out. 90 per cent of them will acknowledge that they are against Governor Smith because he is a Catholic. I wish to state that I am a Protes tant and Master Mascn, and have been since X reached legal age, and I am for Smith. History shows that the Catholic church was my church and your church for 1,500 years. Some of the greatest men of the world have been Catholics, When Carroll, a Catholic, signed the Declaration of Independence, we did not cry, “Stop! You are a Cath olic.” When LaFayette, a Catholic, fitted out a regivent at his own expense in France, and came to America and fought beside Washington for our independence, we did not cry, “Go back, .LaFayette, you are a Catholic.” We welcomed Count Pulaski, Rochambeau and De Kalb, all Cath olics, during the Revolutionary War. Does the fact that the Star Spangled Baner wjas written by a Catholic keep the words from being as sweet? The songs. Dixie and My Bonnie Blue Flag, were written oy Cath olics. General Beauregard and Admiral Ralph Semmes were Catholics, but no one fought harder for the South, while on the other hand, Rosecrans and Thomas, who were Catholics, fought for the North during the Civil War. During the World War Marshal AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS PLEASE MANY FARMERS Reports from farmers who plant ed Austrian winter peas in South Carolina last winter indicate that practically all of them were well pleased and will increase the acre age seeded this fall. Of 46 farmers reporting, 36 state that they will plant more in 1928 than in 1927, and only ten state they will plant the same or less. The total acreage planted by these farmers last year was only 62, or slightly more than one acre to the farm. They state that they expect to plant a total of 931 acres, or an average of about 21 acres per farm this fall. This, says T. S. Buie, agronomist, is sufficient testimony as to the value of this crop and its adaptabil ity to South Carolina conditions. Mortgagee’s Sale Of Real Estate.

DRONCHITIS ■ At bedtime rub the throat anc chest thoroughly with— VICKS ▼ VapoRub Ovr 21 Million Jim U—d Yearly Foeh, a Catholic, was commander ol the Allied armies. Some people say “Catholics all vote together." This is not true , Trance and Mexico, both over 90 per cent Catholics, have Protestant and Masons as presidents. I enlisted in the army April 7. 1917, the day after war was declared, and was in the army until alter the armistice Was signed When we left our homes and loved ones, cur peo ple escorted us to oyr trains with brass bands, and there, with tears in our eyes, we told our mothers, wives and sweethearts good-bye, and they, with prayers on their Ups, bade us God-speed to stop the mud derous Huns. They told us there would be nothing too good for us when we returned. We fought for 18 months an for eign soil to make “the world safe for democracy.” We left many of our buddies sleeping in Flanders’ snow clad fields, never to return. Over there we had Protestants and Catholics', Gentiles and Jews, but there were no Quakers there. It makes my blood run not when I think of being at Camp MUls, Long Island, N. Y . and seeing a large group ol Quakers sent home, they being "conscientious objectors” and opposed to going to war for any cause whatsoever. We had a man in our outfit who was a low grade man and under in dictment when he was drafted, we were getting our final examina tions before going overseas, this man claimed there was no need to give . him a physical examination. The medical officer asked why, and be. said, “Because I am a Quaker and a conscientious objector.” The medical officer got his service record, and said, “Why, you belong to another denomination.” He said, “I have changed since I have been up here.” If you have any doubt as to the patriotism of the Catholics of this country, by writing to the adjutant general, you will find that over GO per cent of the volunteer army with religious affiliation during the World War were Catholics. I am not a religious bigot or in tolerant, and Hoover being a Quaker would not keep me from voting for him for secretary of state, state au ditor or attorney general, but the president of the United States is commander-in-chief of our army and navy, and to have a Quaker who is opposed to defending our | country for any cause whatsoever | would be a dangerous thing. I I am of opinion that the Ameri I can flag could be insulted, knocked : down and trampled under foot, and j he would be opposed to war. I The Quakers have all the protec ! tion of our flag, but they have never I defended it from the Revolutionary i War to the World War. The sergeant major of my regi ment ifras a Catholic and a Knights of Columbus. He died with bis head in my lap. His last words were, Buddy, I won't be with you to help break the Hindenburg line, but you do your part and mine, too.” When I came back from France 1 Was unanimously elected first post commander of the American Legion associated closely with exservice men ever since, and I am of the opinion that 95 per cent of the World War veterans will not vote for a Quaker for commander-in-chief of the army and navy, regardless of their past political affiliations. I think it would be a slap in the face of every World to elect a Quaker. \jpose sect and religious cult is opposed tcnde fending our country in time of'^r from any ca’tdsA (iMiflttfever, <; } mander-in-chipf of the Ameg Jin army and navy.. lfi3{ 33q
