Last Wednesday afternoon the Spindale High School basket-ball team defeated the Forest City team by a score of 15-32. The game was tightly contested until the second quarter. Cowan started by making 12 points, and tying up with Harden, S.H.S. fast forward.

The S.H.S. basket-ball has formally applied for entrance to the county basket-ball league, on the basis that the Spindale school is not a state high school. This application was sent in the latter part of last week and this request has been granted.

Two new enterprises that have recently come into existence in Spindale are a new grocery store of Mr. B.Z. McDonald, formerly of Forest City, and a barber shop owned by Messrs. Crawford and Hardin of Forest City.

Prof. Roy Setzer, teacher in the local high school, spent the week-end at his home in Hickory.
