PRESIDENT MELTON.

The selection of W. D. Melton to
be president of the University will be
Everywhere approved. Formerly the
head of an institution of learning was
I~selected because of his outstanding
scholarship, but as the years have
PASSED and institutions of learning
have grown, it has become o and
more necessary that these institutions
have as their directing heads men of
business ability and that they be
men of fine executive ability.
Mr.. Melton Is an educated man
but not as that phrase is popularity
understood. But he has made a Won
(derful success as a business man, and
Eno one who knows him doubts his
liability to properly direct the affairs
of the University. His splendid char
Eacter, his affability, and yet his pow
Ter Of decision, his openness at all
times to argument and facts, and
with it his knack of putting fnality
into his conclusions, constitute him
Ii proper man to head the states first
school of learning.
Mr.. Melton will make much of the
University. A mar who gives up as
much as he does in order to become
The head of that institution must have
his heart in the work. And we know
THAT he would not go into the work
except for the purpose of making
The University grow and expand its
usefulness. He a have no other OBJ
iect. A better University, run by a
man Of his attractive personality
these will be considerations when the
future Carolina student selects his
college.
The State we think feels more con-
tented today because of his selection.
The sun of promise shines down = on
The University. Its Alumni and
Friends feel more confident, and the
student body welcomes the new guild
ing hand at the steering wheel. Why
should we all not feel better over the
situation?

The following news item appeared
ia The State Thursday from Ches-
her: l.
James S. Fischel has bought
the Ross Sims tract Of land, con-
tanning II acres, about three
miles from Chester on the Ash
ford Ferry road, and is now
making arrangements to start a
poultry farm on it. Mr.. Fischel
has already bought a number of
White Leghorn chickens and is
also raising others which he will
put on his farm. Mr.. Fischel
has had several years expert
ence in raising chickens"
Congratulations and good luck to
Mr. Fschel! He is a pioneer in
what may become one of the leading
Industries in boll-weevil-infested
South Carolina.
Something has got to be done in
khe state besides raising cotton.
Nothing can be less profitable than
growing cotton at the rate of a bale
BIZ two to ten acres; and that has
been the experience of many farmers
IN the state, and it will continue to
be that way, and worse Tor some
kears-until ways are found to con
Erol the. pest.
Why not poultry-raising? It's a
aice, honest, interesting business
fEda very useful one. 1t has proved
proftable n to many persons who
have gone about it in the right way.
rhe above news item says Mr.. Fis-
mel has had experience in poultry
kaising; he probably knows that it

Ended the subject, turn up their
Boses at the suggestion of "chicken-
arming" as a business. Well enough,
hey think, to have a few chickens
bout the yard, handy for a fry oc-
kasionally and for laying eggs for
sble use-but not for business pur-
oses! .....A.. :,

the season gets into full swing he
will be with the ringers. George is
Captain of the team this year.
Billy Long is also a veteran Of

The pitching staff is composed of
Bruce Galloway, Buster HOWE and
Billy Long, all three are good ANA

also is hitting at a live clip. It is
probable that he will pitch a good
many of the games this year, as Gal
loway and Long r needed in the
infield.
Ashby Galloway and Fred God
frey will be used in the infeld when
Long or Galloway are pitching, and
will be used in the outfeld at times
when they are not pitching. Galloway
has been handicapped this year in
throwing on account of a broken
shoulder which he received in a foot
ball game, last year and Godfrey has
also had a sprained ankle for the

The outfeld is composed Of Monk

enburg were with the team last year
and. showed up we'll, and both are
showing up better this year, especi-
ally in hitting. Jimmy Harris did not
play last year, but will probably be
found in the lineup before the sea-
