Capt. E. A. Snlyth Makes Propo:;,
ticn to College Authorities
at Clinton

Clinton, Sept. 14.-The Prsebyte-
rian College of South Carolina open
ed September 5. The enrolment for
the first week was 185, the largest
in the history of the college. It would
reach 200 this year if the students
could be taken care Of. Ali available
space in the dormiIories has besn
taken. The enrolment last year was
163. -
At the last meeting of the board Of
trustees, President Douglas stated
that a new dormitory accommodating
100 students could be filed. He said
the Gornitory would cost $4,000 bnt
it would be impossible to caise this
money unless our rich men contrib
uted. Soon after the meeting Of the,
board he received letter from CapS
Ellison A. Smyth Of Greenville, stat
ing that he would give $4,000 to-
ward the erection Of this dormitory
if the remaining $4,000 were sub
scribed within year. Captain Snly'.
stated in his letter that 60 days after
he was notified that the college had
IA bona fde subscriptions $4,000 to-
wards the erection Of the dormitory,
he would turn over to the college
cox mn in Gosh
"This is a wonderfully liberal CT
fer made by Capt. Sn1yth," said col
lege officials today, land everyone
who loves the Presbyterian church
and believes in Christian education
has great opportunity to do some
thing for his CHURCH BY making the
erection of this dora2itory poss Die"
President Douglas feels that it IS
no longer a matter of getting stud
ents, but Of taking care of them. The
college can now get every student
for which the church can provide IN
struction and accommodation. Elev-
en- states are represented in the stu
dent body.

WILL CANADA REMAIN BRITISH

Canadians are giving sober consid-
Grafton to an address delivered before
the Canadian Club of London by Col.
j. S. Dennis, chief commissioner Of
colonization for the Canadian Pacific
Railway, in which the commissioners
said a great issue in Canada is wheth-
err that country is to remain in the
British Empire. The issue is forced
upon Canada and the empire because
the greater volume of Canadian I'M
migration is from continental Europe
and the United States, and unless
British immigration becomes more OF
factor some day is bound to fall UNI
der the influence of the non-British
elements. The continental European
and the immigrant from the United
States will not be bound by that Brit
ish connection of which Canada and
the mother country are both proud,
and the sundering of which possibly
would mark the moral passing of the
dominion from the empire.
Even loyal Canadians confess that
if commercial penetration from the
United States continues unchecked
side by side with an influx of nom
British and alien-minded agricultural
immigrants, the native and British
population, thrust into minority,
might not be able to preserve connec-
ton with the. mother land. The irony
of the situation is that Canada must
depend upon immigration from the
United States and continental Europe
for the agricultural population which
the dominion must have if it is to
maintain it's existing status, to say
nothing of uniform growth. England
has nothing but urban immigrants
which Canada has no place for until
farmers from the United States and
continental Europe come in and pro
vide for them.-Pittsburgh Dispatch.

THE BOOTLEGGERS

On furtive feet along the street in
darkness they are going; from stew
and slum they bring the rum that
keeps the boneyards growing. They
make their rye of poisoned I've, of
rough on rats their brandy, and he
who drinks is wise, methinks, to keep
a coffin handy. They fill their watts
with old dead cats when they would
make sour mashes; and one small
drink will put gink in line for dust
and ashes. They make their gin OF
rusted tin and upas leaves and gran
lite, and he who sips curls up and
skips from this our well-known plan
ct. They make their booze from cast
off shoes brought in by vampires
ghostly, and he who quaffs finds cpl
taphs the goods he's needing mostly.
All, when you swing bumper big of
bootleg rye or bourbon, your works
will split, you'll throw a fit no doc
can put a curb on. You'll bite the
chair and fall down stairs and start a
roughhouse ready, and when you're
through the coroner true will sit upon
your body. Few, few escape the
shroud and Grape who drink the boot
leg mixture, and with spade mems
beds are made where headstones are
a fixture. The bootleg knaves are
peddling graves, they're selling bot
tied slaughter; oh, then, with me,
drink bonset tea, and pop, and mix
and water.-Swiped.

SURRENDERED SOVEREIGNTY"

Mr., Harding wished to pour out oil
in advance on expected stormy wa
ters in the Senate when he said that
the work of the conference had been
ACCOMPLISHED without surrender OF
sovereignty" remembering that such
charges had been made against the
League of Nations covenant. In the
true sense there is no surrender OF
sovereignty when nations enter INTO
alliances and agreemets, but IN bind
ing themselves they limit their Tree
dom of independent action, and in this
case the United States has surrender
ed much. 1t must scrap many ships
and retain only so many more, ana IN
the matter of replacement it must fol-
low the definite plan agreed on. 1t
can build no new Notifications on IT'S
islands in the Pacific, it must respect
the integrity of the insular possessions
of Great Britain and Japan in the Pa
ciic and if these are menaced must be
a party to their defense. 1t promises
not to use the limited number OF sub
marines allotted to it as commerce de-
stroyers during war and is under re-
StrlcClOnS IN Lne HdLteI VI PoioOh Sow
The "surrenders", in fact, are more
numerous and more definite than were
involved in the ratification Of the Yer
sailles treaty with the League OF Ma
tons covenant attached, but the free
dom of action which the United States
surrenders is given up in good cause
its own peace and the peace of the
world. To the objections brought
against the covenant of the League OF
Nations in the Senate and will be
brought against the new treaties the
proper answer, in bref, is the same
Only law-breaking individuals ant
piratical or predatory nations have
reason to refuse to agree to limita
lions upon their freedom of action

CONCRETE ROADS ARE BEST,
SAYS PROFESSOR LA RUE

From the days when asphalt was
first used as road material by the
Babylonians, about 600 B. c., the
problem of road building has been
prominent in the history of civilized
nations. Savage man built no roads,
nor had he any conscious need for
them.
As civilization developed, the high
ways-connecting centers of popula-
tion-also developed. In this age the
highways of the world are rapidly APP
preaching perfection. This develop
ment has brought into use many Diff
ferent types, ranging from the two
foot stone slab pavements used by the
Romans to the modern concrete and
asphalt roads.
Concrete roads are the most popu-
lar types of roads for general pur-
poses being built today. He says that
although the concrete roads are at
fected by climate in this part of the
United States they are the best type
of road that can be built at medium
cost. Concrete is the most econom-
ical of the high class pavements,"
said Mr.. LaRue.
In the south where the material is
plentiful, Mr.. La Rue thinks, it is ad-
visable because of the low cost, to
build gravel roads, although they will
not stand heavy traffic as well as the
concrete road. Neither will the ma
cadam road withstand the heavy auto
mobile traffic because the limestone
used in constructing this type of road
is too SOFT" he said.
Many old types of roads have been
tried, only to fail because of cost and
climate and traffic conditions. The
United States has been the scene OF
more experiments in road building
than any other country in the world.
Attempts have been made even tc
build roads of syrup, or molasses. II
Massachusetts several years ago, the
molasses refuse of the sugar refinery
was used as binder for road mater
ial. Because of increasing costs Of
the binder and because it was some
what soluble in water, the experiment
failed although the road did Withstand
traffic for a number of years.
Another experiment was made b!
burning roads that were surfaced witt
clay so as to make the surface hard
This experiment was made by tn
United States Bureau of Publ
Roads and it proved successful, bu

CAPITALISM IN RUSSIA

Lenine now proposes to reintroduce
capitalism so that the communists
may study this machine that actually
works and learn what makes the
wheels go round He says: "Take on
your harness, all of you. Capitalists
will be beside you; beside you will be
foreign capitalists, concession mon
gers, and leaseholders; they will get
out of you hundreds per cent of prof
it; they will grow rich off you. Let
them grow rich; but you will learn
how to administer affairs, and only
then will you be able to build up the
communistic republic. From the point
of view of the necessity of learning
quickly, every slackening is stupen-
dous crime. And to this science-a
science heavy, harsh, even cruel-we
must attain, for we have no other re-
course" Well, that too, may work
out differently. One thing is certain:
it opens the way for Americans and
Britishers and Frenchmen to resume
traffic with Russians. That means an
access of prosperity for US and for
them. If, in the long run, Russia

of ours? If they pay their bills and
do not try to subvert our government,
they may live as they please Posi-
bly,, even Lenine himself may learn
even more than he has learned al
ready. He has an astonishingly OPP
en- mind for a fanatic; perhaps he
will learn that the production of ne
cessities is more essential than the
success of theory. Maybe he will
become concert to capitalistic pro-
duction with some improvements in
the human relationship that even we
wise as we are, may initiate profitably
