JONE eonpjwiw. II ENGLAND SORRY FOR COTTON GROWERS IN That Greenville may become the stage for important football confes In which Clemson College Is engaged Is a reasonable hope. Coach "Bob" Williams of the Clemson team was Interviewed by a reporter of tna Greenville News last night In reference to this. He was frank to bay that, In his opinion, Greenville is the logical place for at least one of Clem-son's important gridiron events. Ilo thinks much Interest could be work-ed up in at one annual gams staged here.

Mr. Williams thinks a game IP-tween Clemson and Auburn or hh-tween Clemson and the University of Georgia would prove a good drawing card. He has received assuranies from many who are Interested in football and also of the local press that In case the Clemson authorities decide to schedule one or more of their games In this city wholesome support will be accorded the movement. So, It would appear that next fall will see the beginning of a number of important football contests Greenville In which Clemson will be concerned. This would make It ail the more beneficial for Furman ni-letlcs as it would create an interest here that Furman could not possibly arouse by reason of the fact that Clemson.

with her very large student body will always be a more important factor In Southern athletics ihn Furman with her necessarily limit enrollment. The Greenville Daily News holds out a permanent welcome to Clemson to stag one or many of its nth-letic or other contests in this) c'v. The movement should and will terminate successfully. LONDON.

22. Correspond-ence of the Associated Press.) Commercial leagues and associations throughout England are making much about capturing German trade. Manufacturers declare that the banking situation is so unfavorable that English firms cannot be expected to attempt an aggressive export business. At a recent meeting called to discuss extension of foreign trade one manufacturer produced letters from his banker which are said to ba typical of the position of London banking houses. The manufacturer had asked for a cash advance on a shipment for a foreign customer with whom thn maut'acturer had dealt for years.

The bill of exchange, the goods and the good name of the manufacturer were all offered as security, yet the banker replied that his institution did not care for that sort of business. If British manufacturers cannot discount their bills they say a curtailment rather than an expansion of foreign business will be Imperative, and the London Board of Trade has been so advised by scores of manufacturers. Still the manufacturers have not been discouraged by the unfavorable financial conditions and are endeavoring to duplicate articles hich have hitherto been supplied by the Germans and Austrlans. At present a glass and pottery exhibition is In progress under the auspices of the Commercial intelligence Branch of the Board of Trade. Samples of all sorts of pottery and glassware formerly sent to England from the two countries now at war with Great Britain are on exhibition.

This exhibition Is primarily for the benefit of Englsh manufacturers who FAVORABLE REPORTS FROM COTTON POOL When Market Reopens, it Will Probably be Free From En- tangleniente. sTst Dry- Cleaning U. -FINE PROSPECTS SAY CALL FOR COTTON WILL COME IX DUE TIME WITH HEAVY DEMAND. (Bjr B. T.

The Tigers were able to rush the ball to near the Furman goal but also had lo kick and the spheroid was booted over the goal-lllne. making it a touchdown.

Oct. 22. Mrs. Alice Casts has filed suit against the Southern Railway for $60,000 damages which Bhe- alleges she sustained in the death of her husband, George E. Case, who was killed by a Southern train at Kings Mountain.

N. on August 17. The action has been brought In the court of common pleas. Mr. Case was a piano tuner who lived with his family on Wofford St.

They were crossing the railway when passenger train No. 11 struck their car. Both men were killed almost instantly. Germany have produced in great quantities for foreign trade. The shortage of potash Is a serious handicap to the production of test tubes, flasks and othe glass equipment for use in laboratories.

Strangely enough England has relied almost exclusively on Germany for such materials and has never tried to produce them. English manufacturers of glassware have specialized In the production of expensive cut glass and have allowed Germany to monopolize the production of cheaper grades. As a consequence there Is a shortage of skilled labor In England for glass working. Several English firms have already entered- upon the manufacture of dolls' heads with consldereble success and are said to have produced samples far superior to those manufactured In Austria. Before Chrl.tmne England will doubtless have a good supply of dolls free from the stamp "Made In Austria" now Is distasteful to English children and adults alike.

His trial is expected to be held at the opproachlng term. of the court of general sessions. The scrubs scored their first touchdown within a few seconds after the hird period started and then went vo work to score another, Within live minutes of the end of play they went over for their second score and then tlif Varsity backfleld was again put back in the lineup. They earned the ball over twice more and kicked till goals with the exeeptlnon of one, the last one which was missed badly. The booting of both teams was good, thd kick-off as well as the punting In opVn field, both teams tackled well but the Clemson lads knew me game better and were able to drill big gapping holes in the Furman line.

The backfield ran nice interference and all knew how to use the stiff-arm well. Experience was what told, for in point of weight there was practically no difference. Captain Schilletter, for the Tigers probably played the most consistent game of any man on the field, while he made no long or especially sensational runs, still he plugged1 the line for gains at all times and It was he that was called upon more than sny other man to make the hard and necessary gains. Ho scored three touchdowns and kicked four goals. The Furman lads showed marked Improvement over the form displayed in the Wofford game, their team-work being notewothy.

Forward passes on both sides amounted to nothing and the end runs were but little better.

FOR EMBEZZLEMENT Spinners' Associations In running Bhort time.

For a time serious labor troubles were threatened. But conditions in the cotton market have now become so bad that complete suspension of cotton manufacturing plants seems Imminent unless tlvs government finds some way to offer relief. Spinners are Indlgant over the continued closure of the Liverpool cotton market and have inspired efforts to effect direct business relations between the growers and consumers of cotton, thus eliminating the Liverpool cotton dealers. The Manchej-ter Guardian and other prominent papers located In cotton manufacturing centers, while admitting that such a plan might be desirable. sy It would require a long time to handle cotton direct because of the great amount of machinery required to take care of It properly and the necessity for the careful grading which Liverpool dealers have afforded.

Speaking of the proposed elimination of Liverpool interests from the cotton trade, the Cotton Factory Times says: "Cotton planters in America have already considered tho necessity of protecting themselves against the Liverpool Interests, and It is reported that they have decil-ed that no cotton shall be planted next year. This Is of course meant as a warning that if their stocks of materials are not taken oft thoir hands now a great enhanced price will be charged for It later on. "Opinions may differ as to whether some of the present dislocation of trade could not be avoided, but it daily becoming more clear that there are too many conflicting Interests at work in the business, which make very difficult for trade to move, and those interests seem bent on blamm each other for some portion of the present unsatisfactory situation." Thomas Temperly, of Bolton, a letter on the plight of the cotton trade, charges that "Liverpool cottxi lords" are supported by EnglWn banks In keeping the Liverpool cotton market closed and preventing mills from getting the supply of raw cotton they need. This is much the same position taken by Gordon Harvey, a member of parliament, who charged that Liverpool Interests maintain an artificial cotton market and even when the Liverpool market Is open do not permit trading unless prices are in their favor. Direct Importation of cotton to Manchester by the manufacturers who require It Is urged by Mr.

Temperly. tripletIbInto a greer couple GREER Oct. 22. (Special) BAR ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA CLOSED ITS MEETING LAST NIGHT Pinner Given in Honor of the I'nited States Court. CHICAGO.
