CONCERNING ATHLETICS.

We have often wondered why it is
that our state university does not
ally itself with the other colleges of
the state and OF the south in the eff
fort to cleanse our amateu" teams
from professionalism 1t is we'll
known fact that the University does
not ally itself with those colleges
who so endeavor to raise our stand
ard of athletics, and it is a fact that
they evidently do not attempt to deny.
Their reasons for not remaining on
an equal and more honorable basis
with her sister colleges we are at a
loss to understand.
We cam see but one reason for this
and we must say that the reason
is n very selfish one. There can be
to have better team than it would
have than If II played only bone fide
amateur college students. 1t must
be from an attempt to reach a class
with other colleges which it could not
reach by playing only those men who
come to the University as a means
for an education. If the University's
athletic department thinks that by
putting out a team that Is more eX-
perienced than the teams of the other
state colleges, and team that some
times succeeds in defeating those col
leges. that she raises herself in the
estimation of sport loving people,
those managers are using their eff
forts in the wrong direction. When
the University places a team in the
FIELD. composed i'm part Of pr ;'ession-
ais, to play against her sister col
lcSes with amateur players only. she
at once places herself in the ranks
of the dcceivcrS. While it may be
true that her opponents might per
haps" know that they are playing pro
fessionals, those people who attend
the games with the idea that they
are witnessing amateur athletics are
deceived. They are paying for Some
thing that they do not get
Many colleges in the South have
combined for purcr athletics. Why
should not the University of South
Carolina join with them? The Uni
versity should be the leading ednca-
tional institution in the state Is she
showing proper leadership?

THE FOUNTAIN INN TRIBUNE.

The first issue of the Fountain Inn
Tribune" is out. This Is the sue
cessor to the News and Notions, re-
Gently deceased. The Tribune"
makes fine showing with it's first
appearance, it's columns being filed
with live news and the print and 9TH
er mechanical features being excellent.
The two proprietors OF the paper
should feel proud of 1t. 1t deserves
the support of the pcjpo whom it rep
resents.
With it's first issue, the Tribune
takes decided step towards putting
itself on a firm and respectable basis
with reference to it's advertising. The
declared intention of the owners of
the paper is to command price of
one cent and a half per inch for every
hundred subscribers. With its nearly
nine hundred subscribers, this rate
will amount to twelve cents and one
half per inch, very reasonable rate
in this time of high wages and in
creased cost OF living. The News and
Notions" charged fiat rate of ten
cents per inch and evidently must
have found that it did not pay.

farmer amounted to a mere bagatelle,
1t Is estimated that the value of the
work aggregates In saving of hire, OF
hauling. time and of wear and tear
on teams. tens of thousands of dollars.
Now 1t strikes us that IL those
hustling farmers In the State of Iowa
can accomplish SO much by a little
we'll directed effort then the farmers
OF Laurens and Newebrry counties in
the State of South Carolina can do
the same thing A regular organiza-
ton should be perfected and steps
taken at once to put this road above
spoken of In first class condition. BY
united effort 1t could be so easily
done that the results would surprise
even the most optimistic. After this
first construction Is done and the road
once built scientifically and accord
ing to plans laid down by competent
engineer, such as Supervisor Humbert,
the organization should be kept up to
do just such work as was done by
those Iowa farmers. The roads should
be dragged periodically but not spas
medically With the present easy
means of communication there is no
excuse for our backwardness in the
Organization of such good roads as
sociations.
The newspapers might continue
along this line indefinitely and for
ever ana not accomplish anything,
unless those who are vitally interest
ed come to the front and aid in the
work. The farmers along this road
should come forward now and Ike
up this work. A meeting shou oe
called in Newberry. one along about
Goldville Of Kinards, one at Clinton
and one at Laurens. A committee
should be appointed from each to con-
fer with the others. A meeting of
these committees should be held joint
ly and some week set i'm which the
work is tc be done. After this much
of the arrangement has been accom-
plished the movement will have begun.
What remains viii rest with the resi-
dents along this ROAD. 1t cannot be
believed that they will let this golden
opportunity go by. They will reap the
benefits and doubtless they will come
out to man and aid in the work.
Lets get together.
