Draughon's Practical Business
College of Columbia, S. G. Zone
of the chain of big Draughon
Colleges located throughout the
Southern and Western States),
announces four az money saw
ing plans for 1915, 10 young men
and young women planning to
enter College.
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 fen cents cotton
plan, and also announces that
notes, payable one year tor long
err from date will be accepted in
payment for scholarships, while
this temporary period of bust
ness depression continues. In
fact, this institution is extending
to its patrons throughout the
State the most liberal terms and
conditions With references to
manner of making tuition pay
ments.
Following are the four az
plans of enrolment offered:
/. Cotton Plan-Cotton will
be accepted (strict middling) in
payment for scholarships and
ten cents per pound will be al
lowed for it. One 500-pound
bale will pay for a $50 complete
scholarship in the Bookkeeping
and Banking department of
Draughon's College or Il com
plete scholarship in the Short
hand and Typewriting depart
me Mt. Two such bales will be
accepted for a Combined Schol-
arship OF both Bookkeeping,
Shorthand and auxiliary studies.
3. Cash Plan-Whcrc 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 limited time as
in the opinion of the College
management present existing
conditions may justify.
8. Note Plan-If the student
wishes to give a note, payable a
year Tor longer from date, for
tie full price of the scholarship,
allowing sufficient time for the
student to complete the course,
accept position and earn the
money with which 10 pay the
note before ii falls due, the req
ular catalogue price is charged
for each scholarship, which is a
few dollars higher than the cash
price. Where 80, 60, or 90 day
notes are given, no difference in
price is charged. Many students
enter Draughon's College each
year under this note plan, and
complete their course, accept
positions and earn the money to
pay their notes before they fall
due. If you arc interested in
this plan, write for special note
plan blank which gives full in
formation.
a. By Mail Plan-Any young
man or young woman can pur-
chase a Draughon Scholarship
for the Bookkeeping and Bank
ing, or for the Shorthand and
lypewriting course, and pay for
this scholarship with cotton ION
a basis OF ten cents per pound),
with cash, or with an approved
note. The student can then
remain at home, and the College

WHAT THE POOR BOY NEEDS
Not Riches, But to Feel the Need of Better and Truer Life"-
 Money Spoils the Youth.

A Socialist recommends that every family should have $1,400 to $1,600 a year to help the children along to the high point of equal opportunity and success in the race of life. That is the worst sort of advice. A boy doesn't need a cent of money to help him along to true manhood and an honorable career, the Ohio State Journal observes. All he wants is to feel the need of truer and bet. ter life. and if that is not sufficient money will not avail Money will spoil any boy. It will make him the victim of the slightest obstacle or inconvenience
 If a man wants to spoil his son, let him have what money he wants. Send him to college and let him there put on style and live extravagantly and he is "goner" sure. True schol arship as well as true manhood con. sists in overcoming obstacles. Give a boy money, so he can float down. stream to the tinkling of the soft guitar, and all that sort of thing, and he will be sure to land in the swamps where the mud pythons play. As a rule, it is better to be born poor than rich This is not doctrine; it is his. tory.

pA p6sT s.RsEcE OF WRITING 1
sHmssEian, 5 s1Jeblstsslns University sof F, Pennsylvania Records Deeds of
 7 Babylonlans.

A number of ancient Sumerian tab lets, recording the deeds of the Baby lonians thousands of years ago, have been deciphered by George A. Barton at the University of Pennsylvania mu- scum. One of these tablets, which tells how farmer rid his field of To- custs and caterpillars, is dated 4,000 B. C. and Is the oldest piece of writ ing extant, according to an announce ment made by officials of the museum. The farmer, Doctor Barton's transla- tion says, called in a necromancer, who "broke jar, cut open sacrifice, a word of cursing he repeated, and the locusts and caterpillars fed" For this service he received tall palm tree.
 That a canal was constructed in Babylonia nearly 5000 years ago is shown by another tablet dated "The year the Divine Naram-Sin opened the mouth of the canal Erin at Nippur." /" Naram-Sin was a king in Babylonia and is supposed to have financed the construction of the waterway which gave Nippur transportation facilities with the rest of the world. A third tablet, dated 320O B. C., records the transfer of land and a quantity of grain for bronze money. Gold and sil. yer were known at that time, but were not used as currency.

As Seeing the Invisible.

No great purpose has ever been achieved by any individual until his spirit has first gone out into some wilderness solitude and there discov- cred its native strength, it's absolute invincibility when it relies upon no help but that of God. This is tie experience of all the greatest among men. They go apart from their fel- lows for awhile, like Moses, into the land of Midian, or like our Lord him. self into the wilderness, or like St. Paul into the Arabian desert, and there, in solitary communion with God, from that highest of all compan- ionships, they drink in strength to fit them for the work of our lives. Alone with God, they see visions which fill their souls, visions which never fade afterward even in the light of common day, but which serve as beacon lights to guide them. through storm and darkness, till the purpose of their lives is fulfilled Edwin H.
