Of the chain of big Draughon
Colleges located throughout the
Southern and Western States),
announces four I'D money saw
ing plans for 1914, to young men
and young women planning to
enter College in January.
While the majority of small
business colleges are no longer
able to accept cotton at ten
cents per ponnd in payment for
tuition the Big Draughon Col
lege of Columbia is continuing
to offer this ten cents cotton
plan, and also announces that
notes, payable one year (or long
err from date will be accepted in
payment for scholarships, while
this temporary period of busi-
ness depression continues. In
fact, this institution is extending
to IFS patrons throughout the
State the most liberal terms and
conditions with references to
manner of making tuition pay

Following are the four (4
plans of enrolment offered:
l. Cotton Plan-Cotton will
be accepted (strict middling) in
payment for scholarships and
ten cents per pound will be al
lowed for it. One 5OO-pound

accepted for a Combined Schol-

2. Cash Plan-Where the STU
dent enrolling pays cash tor
scholarship, a 'War Discount"
of $1,000 will be allowed and
Railroad fare of the student TO
Columbia will be paid by the
College. This is equal in every
way, from an economical stand
point, to the cotton plan offered
above, and will only remain in
force for such alimited time as
in the opinion of the College
management present existing
conditions may justify.
3. Note Plan-If the student
wishes to give note, payable a
year tor longeD from date, for
tie full price of the scholarship,
allowing sufficient time for the
student to complete the course,
accept a position and earn the
money with which to pay the
note before it falls due, the reg.
ular catalogue price is charged
for each scholarship, which is a
few dollars higher than the cash
price. Where 80, 60, or 80 day
notes are given, no difference in
price is charged. Many students
enter Draughon's College each
year under this note plan. and
