Carolina Defeats Charleston. (Coittinued from Page One.) yards, were, at least for the Charles ton fans, the most spectacular plays of the game. Their gain of 50 yards on a fake play received its full quota of cheers from the grand stand. The Charleston boys showed the effects of good coaching. Thev were right there with the goods for so small a team. -low ever, Carolina's efficient line work was always there to save the game 10r us. Some of Carolina's runs through broken field were spectacular feat ures also, especially to the Carolina fans. Our team as a whole played good ball. Some of the men who had not shown much football mat ter, that is, the matter that goes to the making of a football star, showed decided improvement. So here is encouragement and hopeful ness, and renewed enthusiasm fol lows. We have, as the Gamecock predicted, turned over a new leaf in our football record. Instead of re cording defeat, we mean henceforth to tell the glad news of victory. We mean for the past record of the sea son to be a by-gone, but the pres ent and future we hope will be of such stuff as we will highly esteem the memory of when we are Caro lina students no more. So come on, varsity, the Gamecock has promised to crowNI for you ; the bird is fulfill ing its promises, but it has a loud squall yet in its craw for you when the great game of the season shall have been--won! Georgia Meds Defeat Scrubs. (Continued from Page Onc.) Georgians seemed to suffer from a lack of training, and but for the skil ful working of their quarterback in giving his men as much time as possi ble to catch breath, the result of the game might have been different. For the Georgians Capt. Bunch played the star game. He was always ready when called on and carried the ball about as much as the rest of the team put together. To pick the stars for Carolina one would have to name the entire team. The ends worked well, the backs made some good gains, and the line held like a wall. Capt. Sligh ran his team well and made several pretty flying tackles. Stoney, Izlar, Bradley and Simkins all made good gains for Carolina. The Edge fieldian was on his home soil and never showed up to better advantage. This is the first game of the season for the scrubs, and the student body needl have no fear but that they' will give a goodl account of themselves for the rest of the season. English as She is Spoke in Prosperity. Prof. Frierson: "Mr-. WVise, what is the point at issue in this case?

The Science Labcratories Will Be Moved to This Building Upon Its Completio On the northern extremity of Gibbes' green there is now in course of construction a beautiful new building which when finished vill be used by the science departments. The foundations have already beein finished and at the time of this writ ing a swvarm of workmen can be seen at any time working all (lay long. In the basement of this building Professor A. C. Carson will have his electrical laboratory. This labora tory- will be equipped with all mod erii electrical al)l)liances that are ne(led in this course of instruction, such as direct current generators, alternators, direct and alternating cuirrent motors, and other mechani cal and electrical apparatus. There will alsobe placed in this building the chemical aiid biological laboratories. These departments have hitherto been very crowded in their old quarters and it will be with no small degree of satisfaction on the part of the professor and vith no small degree of pleasure on the part of the students that they will in the future have ample room in which to carry on the various experiments that are so essential in these sciences. In the centre of this building will be an enormous lecture room wlhich can be used on occasions where the professors desire both the conven ience of the classroom an(d the com modiousness of an auditorium. Here, we understand, will be in stalled a large stereoscope which can be used in illustrated lectures. It will be recalled that these lab oratories are now in the old science hall and upon their removal it is the intention of the faculty with the co operation of the students and alumni to fix up this building as a large gymnasium. It is also expected that a swimming pool will be secured. The students should do their ut most to aid in culminating this scheme, for without their work all will be in vain. So let us get to gether, men, andl pull1 for this im p~rove menlt. A Fall Story. Autumn maiden-fuill of fun! Foot ball player-chapter one.

McPheeters of the Presbyterian Seminary made an ad (ress before the Y. M. C. A. on Sun (lay afternoon. The speaker made a forceful address and held the atten tion of the audience, which was larger than usual. He showed that the desire for immortality was a God-given ins4inct which is pos sessed by every one. Man erects monuments to perpetuate the mem ory of the world's heroes. These marble shafts stand as memorials to perpetuate the honor of men whose noblest characteristics are evcr wor thy of exemplification by us. Our city would be poorer if it were not for that equestrian statue standing upon the State House grounds pointing the citizens of our State to a higher and nobler life. In like manner that statute of Washington standing upon our State House steps serves a noble purpose. Upon the corner of Sumter and Senate streets is a shaft which stands as a beacon summoning the future jour nalists of our State to (are to stand for the right. Each of us are building our own monument, which is to endure after we have passed away. This monu ment is not of marble, or bronze, or granite, but it is character. No one else can build this monument for us. We must be our own architects. Let us then develop a character of nobleness and truth; a character modeled after the supreme ideal wvihose wonderful personalities have attracted the attention of the world for two thousand years. This ideal is Jesus Christ, and let us strive to become more like him every day. On last Thursday morning at chapel Mr. Sloan, who is one of the Y. IM. C. A. traveling secretaries, told us of the Quadriennial Confer ence, which meets at Rochester, N. Y., from the 27th of December until January 2. This is the sixth' Inter national Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement, and last met at Nashville, Tenn. The purpose of this convention, which is to consist of four thousand representative (el egations from all important institu tions of higher learning in the United States and Canada, is mainly to consider the problems of the world's evangelization and the best methods for solving these problems. Mr. Sloan told us in detail of this conference and also of the last one which met at Nashville. Mr. Sloan remained in Columbia for two days trying to wvork upi interest in the conlventionl. H1e had just comle from the University of Georgia, which is planning to sendl its full quota of rep)resenltatives. The University of North Carolina is not onIly sending its full (delegationl but requtestedl to be p)ermittedl to sendl extra (delegates for those other institutions in the State which neglected to sendc any rep)resentatives. Woffordl, Erskine, Furman, and( other colleges of tis State hlave lannedl to. send their full qutota of represenltatives. Mr. Carns, the p)residlent of tile local Y. M. C. A., called a cab)inet meeting and the feasibility of the proposition wvas dIiscussed(. It wvas dlecidled that b)y all means the Uni versity of South Carolinn nlus Ila a full delegation to attend this con ference. The following men were elected to represent the University: Dean Andrew Moore, Mr. E. N. Carns, who is president of the Y. M. C. A., Mr. John Evans, and Mr. H. C. Ritter, Jr. Already about forty dollars has been 'subscribed. About one hudtiIred and ten dollars more will have to be raised. Any sub scriptiotns either by students or friends of the University will be appreciated. On next Sunday afternoon Dr. Samuel Smith of the First Presby terian church will make an address before the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Smith is undoubtedly the most popular preacher in Columbia -with the col lege boys. He always most cor dially invites us to his church, and for the past two years has granted to us the use of his church for our commencement sermon. Let us warmly welcome Dr. Smith, and show our appreciation by having a full attendance. We note with pleasure that the numerical strength of the Y. M. C. A. is growing. Our membership has trebled since last year. It is becominlg the popular thing to join the Y. M. C. A. Come out, fellows, and give us the glad land in this undertaking. The Law Association. At the usual hour, on last Friday evening, the Law Association was called to order, with Vice-President Pettigrew in the chair. Immediately after the roll call Judge Cooley was called to the chair and the meeting was thereby converted into a court. The case of the occasion was one in volving many harrowing circum stances, and some of the testimony was excee(iigly racy, but these portions were handled with great circumspec tion by the attorneys. The (efense male an effort to quash the in(dictment for irregularity, due to a slight error in the printed form, but Judge Cooley only quashed the defect ive count. After this the case went to argu ment, and the respective attorneys ad dresse(d the jury with some wit, much sarcasm, a little legal learning and coil siderable fervor. The Ju(Ige's charge was short but comprehensive, and after remaining out only a few minutes, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty, with a recommen(lation to the mercy of the Court. 'rie State wvas represented by Messrs. Carter and( Ashley; while tile de fense wvas ab)ly condiuctedl by Messrs. B3rowvn andc Cooper. Court being adjourned, tile business of tile Association was then resumledI, and( it wvas deCcided to acceplt tile old English r~ooml as our future meeting p)lace, andi to fix it up like a court room as sooni as p)ossible.. We wvere p)leasedl to see so many visitors presenlt, andc hlope that thley will continue to attend( tile Moot Court (during the enltire year. There was no0 difficulty ini getting a goodl jury, and we trust thlat we shlall nlever, in future, hlave 'any trouble in securing a solidl jury of academics, unpre) udiced and( fni r..mimle(i min
