Beverly Booe, Graham . . ... . f. h. . Belser, Hamnond Represented by a somewhat crippled team, Carolina was defeated on last Saturday )) the Davidson College eleven )y, the rather decisive score of 29 to 5. Carolina's defeat was due to the splenidid form in which the Pres byteriais showed up; they showing ill in better form than in any previous game of the season ; and to our own crippled conlition. The absence of Brovn and Cain, and of Belser in the first part of the game, was felt to a considerable extent. However, the Gamecocks played pluckily against odds, anl, as usual, played a better game in the second half than in the first. They were tnfortunate enough not to have Stoney's touchdown count on account of a Davidson man hold ing in the line, and to have the whistle blow at the end of the first half when they were within three yards of Davidson's goal. For Davidson,. Booc's work in run ning back punts and in punting was a feature. Capt. Dunn at right tackle, anl Clarke at left tackle, both played a splenldid lefensive game, while Whitner, as master, ran his team well. Carolina's (efensive game was great at times, but the offensive was weak ened on account of Belser's crippled condition. Capt. lammonl played a brilliant game at right half-back and full-back. His 90 yard run for a touchdown was a feature. Carolina's line held well, the majority of David son's gains being made on en(d runs with the aid of splendid interference. Carolina is not in the least discour aged over this defeat, as Davidson had a much stronger team than played the Citadel here Fair Week, while our team was considlerably weakened. We have showvn our full strength in but one game this year--the game against Clemson. \Ve have only twvo other games to play-Mercer, in Macon, next Saturday, and the Citadel, in Charleston, Thanksgiving Day ; and with the crippled back in the game we should show up wvell against both.

The students enljoyed another good speech on Alonday morning in the University chapel, when Hon. A. F. Lever, Congressman from the Seventh Congressional District, addressed the student body on the Development of Our Rural Districts. Mr. Lever begai by saying that lie brought us a message from the farm, and as this is one of the live questions of today, his address was received with much attention. The government itself, the happiness aid prosperity of people at large throughout the State are somewhat dependent on existing conditions of the farm. Such encouraging aspects as scien tific farming and movement towards good roads are coming in evidence among the farmers. The speaker also expressed his desire to see agricultural high schools established, and thus making it possible for the boy to re ceive this education so much needed without leaving the farm. "Stay on the farm and contribute to South Caro lina's welfare." Mr. Lever, in conclusion, urged the young men to go back to farm, or if on farm, to stay there. The farmer can be and is the political power of the State, so "I urge you," said Mr. Lever, "if in South Carolina, to stay there, and if on the farm to stay there also."

The University Extension Course Begun by President of the College. An Attractive Course. A large audience was prescnt on Thursday, November 11th, to hear the first of a series of lectures to be given in the chapel for the benefit of stu dents anl pulblic. Dr. Mitchell is well known through out the South for his ability as a speaker, and the large crowd prescnt was delighted 'with his discussion of the Uinification of Italy.

At the regular meeting of the Law Association last Friday night, the first civil case of this session was tried. Dean M. 11. Moore presided as judge. The plaintiff was represented by Bel linger aid M[offatt, while the defense was conducted by Fromberg and I'Lmpkiln. The attorneys made short addresses to the court, and then submitted their printed briefs, according to custom. After court adjourned, Professor Moore read some extracts from the diary of the eloquent Rufus Choate, These extracts were much enjoyed by the members of the association, and they were deeply impressed by the energy and culture of that great advo cate and statesman. It being the regular election night, the officers for the cominig term were selected: G. R. Pettigrew was chosen presiden.t ; J. 1. Nrown), vice-presi dent ; Charles Salley, secretary and treasurer ; Joseph Fromberg, clerk of court; C. A. Ashley, sheriff. Mr. Ashley was also elected law editor of Tii-: GA n.:coe-. The law school has tiever before had a special editor, in either The Caro /inian. or TI.: CAmIcoCK, but we feel that this is a good move. In the past the law students have often felt that they were looked uponi as outsiders by the academics. ''his feeling is now less apparent than it has been for years, and wve feel sure that, with com mon particip)ation in the various p)hases of college life, it will dlisappear altogether. We are all members of the Univer sit)y andl must wvork for its good, for' getting class prejudlices and selfish dlesires. We are fellowv students; no matter what else or wvhich school wve belong to.
