J. E. McDavid, Jr., and Neville, * ! < K. McDowell, nominated by Senator Tillman for Annapolis vacancies, but 1 who failed to qualify, may yet enter the naval academy. Senator Chris- ( tie Benet announced yesterday that he had arranged for the two young Columbians to have anothre chance. "Before Senator Tillman's death ^ he had named two young men, chosen by competitive examination, for vacancies at Annapolis. They were . J. E. McDavid, Jr., formerly of Ab- j beville, but now living in Columbia, |. and Neville K. McDowell, also of , Columbia," said Senator Benet yes-; terday. ] { "Both failed to enter the academy' ^ McDavid due to color blindness, and I i McDowell to failure to pass the en-' i c trance examination for Annapolis after he had won the competitive ex-1 f amination. !, i j "McDavid has been given a course1 j in color study, and I have arranged to have him reexamined. If he passes!, I t the examination I will immediately!, nominate him for one of the vacan- j cies and have arranged in that case1 ^ to have him enter the academy at once. "I have decided to renominate Mc' c Dowell and give him another chance j to pass the entrance examination.' ^ He had only a few weeks between | ^ the competitive examination which' ^ he won and the time of the entrance! examination and did not have a fair; chance to prepare for the latter, j This will give Senator Tillman's , nominations another chance to enter the academy. There are no other; j vacancies at present." CITY PARK AGAIN. Fifteen or more members of the, younger set enjoyed a moonlight; picnic at city park last Tuesday i night, for which Miss Katie Cox \vas: largely sponsor and^originator. Bas-: ; ket lunches were greatly enjoyed i: and the young couples wandered! , around the shady walks talking of j 1 the wonders of nature and no doubt, before the monkey cage, of Darwin- | ian evolution. The summer, however, is drawing to a close and the serious shadow of school and teacher harries every social event now. So the young people bade goodbye early and therewith probably fell the curtain op the 1918 mopnlight picnic season. 1 t V k COLLEGE CHATTER. V ? N lVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV CLEMSON CADETS.

Miss Edna Bradley left this mornng for the classic city of Gainesrille and expects a diverting season, with literary studies on the one land and Bernie Boyce and Mary La Far on the other. Miss Ruth Howie s scheduled to leave later in the lay, no doubt to face another triimphant year in the science of muiic. She attended the summer school Jiis year and has thus gotten a half rear ahead of her class. We would like to ring in that hap>y phrase about "pursuing their itudies" in some way or other. But vith these young ladies not only keeping up but also running ahead >f their work the way they do, tfye hetoric will have to fade away in ;his mere statement of fact. , :OKER DELEGATION GIVEN A SAD FAREWELL The Coker girls have left, ladies, [t is useless to announce this fact to ;he young men of the community, for they are only too well aware of t. The old town doesn't look the same and there isn't much fun in gong to the post office or BowdenSimpson's.
