The Cecil Rhodes Scholarships.


The next examination for the Rhod-
es scholarships will be held at the
University of South Carolina on Tues
day, the 25th, and Wednesday, the
26th, of October. There will be only
one vacancy from South Carolina to
be filed next October.
Any one interested in the Cecil
Rhodes scholarships can secure cir
culars and information by applyil
to the University Of S. G. =
It will be recalled that DR.. Geo. R..
Parkin, the agent of the Rhodes trust,
made a visit to South Carolina last
fall, addressing some Of the institu-
tions of learning, and meeting at Co
lumbia the committee of award for
this State. He is an exceedingly
forceful man and simply thrilled the
students with his earnest message.
In his letter fixing the 25th and
26th of October as the dates for hold
ing the next examination he adds this
statement, which will be of genuine
interest to all applicants in South
Carolina:
"You will remember that candidates
are eligible for a scholarship if they
have passed the Rhodes qualifying
examination in Latin and mathema-
tics, but that in order to secure full
exemption from responsions they are,
or hitherto have been, obliged to
pass in Greek at the responsions eX-
animation in Oxford. BY a recent de-
cree, however, Of Oxford university it
is now possible for a candidate who
may have passed the Rhodes qualify
ing examination in Latin and mathe-
matics, but not in Greek, to remove
the Greek condition by passing in
that language at some subsequent
Rhodes qualifying examination. For
example, candidate who may have
passed in Latin and mathematics in
October, 1909, may offer himself at
the examination of October, 1910, for
examination in Greek only; and, if he
pass, will not be required to pass in
responsions Greek at Oxford"

cultural progress. 1t is one OF the
results OF general movement
throughout the South in the direction
OF diversified agriculture move
ment which We are endeavoring to
encourage and assist as far as We
can properly do So"
AS the farmers Of the South in
crease their yield of corn, they will
save enormous sums which they have
been spending in the West for food
products and will consequently them
selves realize more from cotton and
other market crops. Economic auth
critics agree in declaring the Amer
lean corn crop the basis of the cour
try's prosperity since in such large
measure the production of other
crops in the South consequently
means a greater share Of prosperity
for this section.

important subjects with which II had
to do-- II not the most important OF all
Colonel Roosevelt to be sure, held
that the question Of direct primaries
was the paramount issue before the
convention. From the standpoint Of
party politics 1t doubtless was. But
IRON the standpoint OF earnest pub ic
service it was lar more important
that that convention put itself in line
with the progressive thought Of the
country in the matter of honest tar

ner, triumph over the "old guard still
insisting upon the delegate convention
plan
Even the instance of Mr.. Sibey's
costly and bedizened primary ii
Pennsylvania, which Mr. Roosevelt
cited in defense OF his position, was
more potent argument for tarif
reform than for a change in party
procedure Why? Simply because
by means Of the tariff, directly anC
indirectly more corrupt dollars have
done, and are doing, dirilef work thar
