Soph's First Letter Home. DEAR PA: You know that bull year ling which you gave me to get me to feed the cows. Please have him butchered and sold. Then send me the money as soon as you can for I need these books: A Minerology, a Physiography, a Psychology, a Bi ology, a Geology, a Zoology, and a Sociology. Our new Ology Building has been completed. It was desecrated last summer when they moved the fur niture into it from the old building. You may kill my chicken rooster, but not old Dandy, for I want to hear him crow once more when I come home. Mr. Smith saidl he would give me two dollars for his hide, and I think Mr. Jones will take one of his hind quarters. I am sure you can sell him out before sundown. C Do you think I will get five hundred pounds of lint cotton from my patch? When you get it gathered and ginned e do not put it into futures, but send me the money right away. Pa. you CS may be proud of me for this one trait Cos of character. I don't deal in futures. There are banks here, but they deal in futures (that is, 'they keep your money for the future), but I won't have anything to do with such an insti tution. It is for your memory's sake that I (1o this, for I have often heard you say that you do not believe in futures. There is a course offered in Economics, but I (o not care about taking it, for I know one boy wvho took it last year andl he is so economical that he won't buy what he doesn't need. Home seems dearer to me now when I am away. Sweet a-re the recol lections of how I once visited the sugar dish, and when these recollec tions come back to me they fill my eyes with tears and my mouth with water. rell Lucy to kiss sister for me; not BIiilly Jones' sister, for I will see her by and by, but my own little sister Mary. Remember the bull yearling. SopI. P. M.-After eating my dinner I feel good. The only trouble I have had with my health is that I have nightmares. Dr. Chamberlaing says they are due wholly to my riding pones. Night Classes. The night classes at the University of South Carolina will begin work on November 7th. Last year these classes proved helpful to many young men in business in Columbia. Already there has been a dlemandl for them the p)resent session. These courses are offered solely with a view to helping those who are unab)le to attendl the University (during the (lay. There will be three classes this session: ' Course I.

Thue classes will meet from eight to nine o'clock at night in Davis College. there will be, every Thursday night, a popular lecture by one of the profes sors of the University. Thus, on four nights in every week, -there will be something attractive at the University. A fee of $5 is required of those reg istering for any one, or all of the night classes. No charge, however, is made for teachers. Certificates stating the actual work done in these classes will be issued to all who desire them. Those who may wish to take up these night iclasses are requested to register their names at the President's office at the University as soon as possible. The Football Matinee. While the Varsity men were battling in Augusta last Saturday afternoon, over 120 Carolina men were sitting in the Grand Theater listening with breathless attention to a detailed ac count of the game being taken over the wire. John Bell, a veteran in the telegraph business, received the news and called it out. John Blackburn reported the game in Augusta. Buie followed the game on a.gridiron drawn on a black board, using a miniature football, Reddy Metts was waterboy, John -I oey led the cheering and Smyth Flinn kept the splints, bandages and "Hun ter's first aid to the injured." With these officials in charge the matinee was very successful in every way except financially. Owing to the absence of some college men who had signified their intention of attending the promoters did not clear expenses. and had it not been for the munificence of several town supporters who swelled the gate receipts by their at tendance. they would have lost heavily. This is the first time that this scheme has ever been tried at the Uni versity of Sotith Carolina, and that, no doubt, accounts for the small attend ance of last Saturday's matinee. Now that it has been teste(d and found to work successfully, there is no reason why every college man should not attend every matinee. It is ex tremely interesting, as every man who attended the last matinee will tell you. You get every play in detail. and you have a mental picture of the football field with its two elevens arrayed against each other. Besides the root ing stimulates college spirit, and the team is cheered by the frequent tele grams sent between quarters. The promoters, Messrs. Hazard andI Sheppard, announce that matinees will be given for the Davidson, U. of N. C. an( Citadel games, besides all the out of-town baseball games in the spring. Come out, men, and let's make a suc cess of this. Dr. Weatherford. D)r. \V. D. Weatherford wvon the heart of every man on the campus with his frank, straight forwvard and forceful talks. No one has come to the students lately who has been better liked or more thoroughly enjoyed than this genuine Christian worker. HeI seems to make the student p)roblem his work, and helps them to see through their difficulties and'into the larger op p)ortunities before a college man with a clear vision. We hope, sincerely, that Dr. Weatherford will come back to Carolina whenever he finds himself in our territory.
