What Various South Carolina News.
Papers Think Of Various Things.
Georgetown Freshman Weds."-
Washington paper That Is nothing.
Down here in South Carolina they
marry before they learn their letters,
sometimes.-Greenville Piedmont.
The present cotton crop, though
some four million bales below last
year, is bringing the grower some
$85. 100000 more than did the crop
last year. Then why not continue to
grow what you need to eat and make
cotton your surplus and get as much
money for less cotton and make more
money?-Newberry Herald and News.
Nichols Q Live One.
We would just Like for some one to
explain how it was that Sam ]. Mich
oils, the newly elected congressman
from Spartanburg was put on the
very important committee Of military
affairs, assigned to it even before he
was sworn In. and we have members
that have been there for years not on
such an important committee. The
committee is more important than
ever in view Of the preparedness"
fever that has struck the country
Abbeville Medium.
Help Wantsdl
About eight years ago the editor Of
the Daily Mail built q house, and the
roof leaked. It still leaks. We have
since tried every roofer and tinker we
could get hold Of to try and stop the
leak. It still leaka We had all the
whole blooming roof torn OF and a
new one put on. It still leaks. II
there Is man In the whole shining
world that can stop q leaking roof,
send him on here to try his hand. But
we wish to state right here that we
amt going to pay out mar mother
cent" unless the leak is stopped. The
offer is open to the worid.-Anderson
Daily Mail.
Free Tuition In State coiIessa
We have some intimation that there
Is a movement on foot to have q law
passed giving all students who attend
state institutions free tuition provid-
ed they will consent to teach at least
two years in the state, or even II they
will consent to live in the state that
long after graduation.
This is going some, and is q policy
that will be hard on the denomination
al colleges that are about the best as
sets that the state has and assets that
do not cost the taxpayer one cent. We
take the position that South Carolina,
or for that matter no other state, can
do without the denominational col
leges. They are an absolute necessity.
and 1t Is time that some people whose
eyes have not been opened to this fact
should be made to see.
Instead Of free tuition in the state
colleges, let the legislature pass law

men and women who are not able to
pay tuition, but giving them the
amounts necessary and permit them to
select the college they wish to attend.
This is fair, and the UNCONVENTIONAL
colleges should certainly have fair
competition. Something they are not
getting. Let the denominations in
South Carolina get together and de-
mand their rights in the matter, and
they will get them. We know that the
lobbyists will be on hand, and work
to defeat any measure Of this kind, but
there Is no reason why the most as
tute lobbyist should not be defeated in
his efforts along this line There are
lobbyists who are always at work for
the state institutions. They go 80 far
as to haul legislators by train loads in
order to get what they want, and they
have been doing this for years. They
will do 1t at the next session Of the
legislature Journal
