the University of North Carolina and
the North Carolina Agricultural and

These two teams have both made good
records so far this season, and are so

CHICK EVANS
GOLF PLAY IS
LIKE VARDON' :
Declares He Owes Much of His
Success to Suggestions Made
By English Expert,
BY Chick Evans.

n HICAGO, Ill, Nov 1O.-The
greatest compliment ever paid
TO me in my life has been cred
ite8 to Harry Vardon Coming from
such d source at the conclusion of a
.ong tour in which the big profess
sIonsI has measured his skin against
most every leading golfer in the
country on widely varying courses,
The remarks attributed to him con
eerning me seem from my viewpoint
Amos too good to be true. That his
Judgment as to my game was con-
;urred in by Alex F'indlay. the Phila
iephian who managed the profess
fonal trip across the continent, is an
additional qualification.
Harry Vardon and Edward Ray
have just completed the most wonder
Sul g0ltinG journey ever made in the
history Of the game, and no other
golfers In the world could possibly
have their first hand knowledge OF
American players and courses. In
view of these facts it is a little sur
prsing that Francis Ouimet, who
played so marvelously at Brookline,
or Jerome Travers. who won the ma
lional title for the fourth time this
year, was not selected by VardOn as
the best golfer in America.
! T is true that in a way my game has
l been modelled upon Vardon's and
! owe great deal to a suggestion
nom him. In my earlier years l USED
a palm grip for all my WOOdenS, but
when ] was in Great Britain he
showed me the secret of the finger
grip, and while I do not overlap as he
a0eS my grin. is otherwise the same.
Since my return to America l always
carry in my mind when playing a
men'5, picture of Harry Vardon as /
SR him playing an iron shot up to
tae sixteenth green at La Boulie. It
Is also true that in the match at Raw
'Sloe that I had something of the best
of Il with both professionals my APP
lroaches and drives lying side by s de
with theirs, with mine the occasional
advantage Certainly it is an inter-
est,ne moment when a golfer finds he

There IS something exhilarating in the

Meni when one has measured an ap-
W1aoh with Harry Vardon and no
oerl found wanting. The really Won
aerful thing about professional golf Is
'oat 1t can keep up such a high
standard of excellence day after day.
~ course, l am not able to judge
how personally stand with

Nv ter League are likely to fea-
ture the American majors as
being entirely the whole cheese and
the Nationals as the holes, 1t may be
just as well TO dig around a bit In
the offlng and try to discover If the
older league really is dead one.
Four Worlds Series have gone to
the younger circuit in q row. On the
face Of it, that looks like marked su
periority in that direction II prob
ably does mean superiority.
But It is not time to begin count
ing ten on the National League, and
following is the result of little re-
search to see how the two leagues
are stacking up on the main depart
ments Of the game.
I T may be as well to grant that the
American League has It in the
matter OF outfielders. The names Of
Cobb, Speaker Jackson and Milan are
all the argument needed.
Also the American League has the
best pitcher in the world, w. John
son is his name, If it has to be men
toned
The American League gets these
points without contest.

- and that is batting, in which, with

grand batting average Of .261, as

SPEECH BY PROF. CARSON.
TELLS OF "SCIENCE TEACHERS
OF OLD SOUTH CAROLINA
COLLEGE"
Address Contains Matter Of Much
value to South Carolinlans, Re-
garding Eariy Scientists.

Columbia, Jan. 17.-One OF the
NEST Interesting and instructive ad-
dresses of Founders Day was the one
delivered by Prof. y. C. Carson, deal
Ing with the Science Teachers OF Old
South Carolina College"
Prof. Carson said:
Not knowing the conditions which
existed 100 years ago. there are many
who criticise the curricuia of the
schools OF the schools of the day. Es-
pecially do those who think that only
scientific studies give proper training
criticise the old methods as being
purely classical (culturaD and as not
fitting one for real life work.
However apt this criticism may be.
IL does not apply to the early history
OF the South Carolina college. There
We find the classics receiving their full
share OF attention and the sciences
also brought in for a liberal part in
the earliest courses OF lectures. OF
OF science, such as chemistry, physics,
or geology, did not exist at that time,
and many OF the fundamental theories
was a branch OF liberal culture, and
as such our wise forefathers deter
mined that the college should offer
such scientific courses as were then
possible.
My purpose. however. is not to
dwell upon the subjects taught. but
TO give few sketches OF the early
teachers OF science at this university
and for these sketches l have drawn
literally from LdBorde and other
sources.
The first OF these teachers was the
versatile FrenchL an. Paul III. Per.
rault. linguist. mathematician. chem
ist, physicist and engineer. After
serving the college for five years. Per-
rault was dismissed and then entered
the army as geographical engineer
The authorities OF the college realized
that the success of the institution
would depend upon the type of man
selected to it's professorships. Per-
rault had failed "in maintaining that
dignity which a freshman would ex-
pect in a learned professor" and al
though well skilled in the sciences, he
did not measure up TO the standard
required.
An unkind fate seemed to have fol-
loNed the next two who occupied the
chair OF sciences. on May 1. 1911,
Charles Dewar Simons. young. Wig
orous. enthusiastic. was elected pro-
fessor OF chemistry and natural phil
oscphy. and entered upon his duties
v-:tH every prospect of a brilliant ca
reer. large appropriation was made
for chemical and physical apparatus,
and there Is every reason To believe
that had Prof. Simons lived he would
have developed into scientist OF the
first order. In the January follow
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1913-01-22

ing his election, however, while re-
turning from visit to Charleston,
Prof. Simons lost his life in attempt
ing TO cross a swollen creek just be-
low CRANKY. 1t is said of him that
he entered on the duties of his pro-
fessorship with a zeal which prom
ised fair to raise him To the first emil
nence among chemists and his man
ners were such as to enforce on the
minds OF his hearers the truths which
he taught and would certainly have
entitled him to the foremost rank
among teachers" (LaBorde.)
Following Prof. Simons the chair
OF chemistry was filled by DR.. Edward
Darnell Smith on the Goth of Novem-
ber, 1912. DIR. Smith is described as
a 'painstaking and efficient teacher"
Born in Charleston, July. 1878, he re-
ceived his early training in Philadel-
phia and in Charleston. At IA he
entered Princeton college. Gradual
ing there with his distinction, he re-
turned to Charleston and studied med
icine under DR.. David Ramsey. Later
he received his degree Of doctor of
medicine from the University OF Penn
sylvania. Although not a professional
chemist, DR.. Smith was successful in
his lectures and was devoted to the
college. After having served the col
| lege for about six years DR.. Sm!th
visited the West and while in Mis-
souri, was attacked with fever and
died July, 1919.
AT the meeting Of the board of trus-
| tees, December 8, 1919, there was
elected TO the chair of chemistry and
mineralogy perhaps the greatest
scholar who had up to this time ever
been connected with the college
refer TO Dr. Thomas Cooper. Within
two years Dr. Cooper had been ele-
waited TO the presidency Of the college
mad retained that position until 1898
Dr. Cooper's field of knowledge was
almost universal. He possessed un-
usual gifts as a lecturer, and had
gathered facts from wide reading and
experience. DIR. Cooper, however,
never adjusted himself TO the ideals
of this Southern country and also ex-
pressed certain views which were
looked upon as infidel. This in the
cad cos him his position, and did the
college untold harm with the people
OF the State.
DR.. Cooper's elevation to the prcsi-
dency of the college necessitated the
election of a new professor of geology
and mineralogy. and To the chair a
young Philadelphia who had shown
remarkable genius was elected. Lard j.
ner Vanuxem had taken courses at
the University of PENNSYLVANIA and
had then spent three years in Paris
at the School of Mines. After serv-
ing for while as professor, ne sug-
gested that he be employed to make a
mineralogical and geological survey
or South Carolina. The legislature
made an appropriation for this for
two years. and although the survey
was not completed, the college bene-
fitted by a large collection Of rocks
and minerals.
Prof. Vanuxem was afterwards en-
ployed in the geological survey of the
State of New York and In 1S12 diad
at his home near Bristol. Prof. Van

EASTER SUITS AT THE ROGERS
CLOTHING COMPANY.

It takes one year for baby to get
it's first tooth The Rogers Cloth
ing Company opened its clothing store
for men about one year ago at 951
Main street. and the development of
this business is a compliment to the
management and to the high standard
of the merchandise we'll, for this
establishment has reached a degree OF
success in this one short IL month,
that it would take the ordinary ner-
chant a lifetime to attain. There is
a secret somewhere. Business does
not build itself. Some unseen force
has been working. What is it-that's
the question.
The secret of the success of Rog-
er's Clothes, is hid in Rogers Clothes
in every seam, stitch, button hole,
and every piece of fabric. 1t is ser
| vice-satisfaction to the purchaser
the result of an insti1led conscience in
to workmanship, material, and bust
| ness methods. Stick that in your
think cap, brother.
