Expressions.
E'xpressions of unbounded joy at
tle recent sensation have been re
ceived by The Gamecock from Vice
Coisol Frank G. Potts, of Breslau,
(GeranY, who got up at midnight
to dispatch the cablegram, and gave
a beer supper to the consulates of
the German city oin Tlrsday inl
token of his just pleasure. Mr.
R)berlt E. Gonzales, of this city, and
ot)her aluimini of standing, have sent
Comuilniications that will be pub
lished in a later issue of this news
paper.
To guide "the weary, wayworn
wanderers home," the management
of A-lonte Carlo has under advise
ment the creeiion of a great beacon
light in the tower of Rutledge Coi
lege. The plan has been approved
mi ost strongly by thie various orders
oni thle emnlpuis, thie .Owls, thle
N\ightcaps, the Ramblers, the
.\l idnight Crew. Now that thle
faculty has added their hearty comn
mendi(ationi of this phlilanithropic
wvork, the muanagemenit of the
