Spartanburg Columbia, S. C., March 23, 1912. Dr. Edward S. Joynes. Dr. Edward S. Joynes, professor emeritus, addressed the students of the University at Flinn Hall Wednesday evening. The dear old doctor gave his hearers a real heart-to-heart talk, and there was not a man who did not leave the room feeling much benefited by his inspiring words. Dr. Joynes is a scholar of rare attainment, an educator with few equals, a man in whom every Caro linian may truly feel proud of hav ing the honor to know and asso ciate with. Such men as Dr. Joynes are not born every lay, and his very presence on the campus adds dig nity and distinction. One of the noted educator's chief characteristics is his kindly feeling toward every University student and a deep interest in everything that is to the upbuilding and uplift ing of the University of South Carolina. That Opening Game. '[he opening game of baseball of the season of 1912 at the University of South Carolina will be played Monday afternoon on Davis field. Lafayette College of Easton, Pa., will be the opposing team. The two will battle again on Tuesday. Carolina has a hard schedule this season and ev'ery man will have to b)e at the games and "open up" to help the team win the majority of the contests. Don't let any little thing keep you from attending a game. You need to see the game; the team needs you; and the Uni versity of South Carolina needs for every one of her students to be at every game. Will Carolina's sonls atteud the games in full force? We say "Yes.'' We knowv that every man of Caro lina has the team's interest at heart and we believe every man who can possibly do so will be at every game of the season of 191 in Columbia. Spring Laziness. The warm. or rather we should possibly say hot, weather has ar .rived. The lazy feeling coincident with spring has also arrived. We know it makes one feel like much sleep, a little recreation and no work, but let's keel) at it, boys! Don't give up the ship! It is a great temptation to "cut" a class when this spring feeling pre dominates, but don't do iL. The words of the erratic teagedian in the Spring Maid might well be slightly changed to read: "Don't do it ; the faculty don't like it, so don't do it." Any way, let's make up our minds to attend every class and attend to every duty, just as though it were not spring. This is the best cure for spring fever. Among the Magazines. In the Atlantic Monthly for March is an article by Morris Schoff called "The Sunset of the Confed eracy," describing in detail the clos ing days of the Civil \Var, and fol lowing the fortunes of the Confed eracy from the evacuation of Rich mond to the surrender at Appomat tox. This magazine has just fin ished running as a serial a very sympathetic biography of General Lee by Ganialiel Bradford. These articles will well repay reading. In the Century for March is an interesting and instructive article by Mr. Chas. B. Towns on "'1 he Poison of Tobacco." Mr. Towns is an expert on the use of drugs of all kinds, having been employed by the United States government in its efforts to suppress opium in the Philippines, and having been also called into consultation by the Chinese authorities when they were attempting to suppress the use of opium in their country. Those who smoke and those who don't will find that this article gives abundant food for thought. Clayton S. Cooper's articles on "The American Under graduate' in the same magazine call for attention on the part of all col lege students. In the Popular Science Monthly for March those who are interested in the student life of other countries will find an article on "The Univer sities of Jap)an" to be of aid by its close setting forth of the present condhition of highcr education in that country, wvhose tranisformation has b)een so rapid andl so wvonderful. The Outlook gives Capt. Amund sen's own story of his discovery of the South Pole, and featur-es each week Mr. Roosev'elt's editorials, wvhiich have now, of course, an added significance, sinice his hat is in the p)olitical rinig. Among illustrated magazines the Natiotial Geographic Magazine and Country Life in Amer-ica deserve sp)ecial mention by their- wealth of wvell chosen p)ictures. Both arec in stances of really high achiievemet in the line of magazine ill1mtration. I BRING THE WORLD TO YOU Something New and Inter. esting Daily MONTGOMERY The Moving Picture Man.
