WAUCHOPE SPEAKS People of Orangeburg Enjoy an Able Address. On Wednesday evening, April 8, Dr. Wauchope delivered an address in the Knights of Pythias hall at Orangeburg on "South Carolina Literature and Its Mak ers," before an appreciative audience. The lecture was de livered under the auspices of the Dixie club, which has done so much to promote the intellectual development and moral uplift of the community. This was the first of a series of lectures which will be delivered by the profess ors of the University. The lecturer spoke of his theme as one of vital importance, be cause in studying our literature we are conserving the social his tory of South Carolina. The lit erature of our State should be studied reverently, earnestly and truly, as it is the most truthful expression of the ideas of our people. After commenting on the neg lect of Southern literature in re cent works on American litera ture by Northern writers, the question was propounded as to whether our young people are not taught a one sided view of American literature, in which the writers of the South are un justly overshadowed by those of the North. Dr. Wauchope spoke of how little is known of South Carolina and Southern literature in the other sections of this coun try. He showed that South Carolina has produced excellent literature in oratory, essays, fic tion, poetry and history. These different kinds of literature were taken up and the writers named and sketched. Dr. Wauchope defined South Carolina literature as a product of two earlier literary movements in England. The essay, oratory and history following the classi cal forms of the eighteenth cen tury; poetry, the novel and the drama reflecting the great ro mantic movement of the nine teenth century. As proof of the high quality of South Carolina's early literature, he mentioned the literary productions of such brilliant South Carolinians as Hugh S. Legare, James L. Pet tigru, Robert Henry, and Stephen Elliott. He presented in turn brief studies of South Carolina oratory, of her essays, of her historians, of the. romances of Simms, and of the poets of the State. In her poetry, he said, South Carolina can make her proudest claim. He spoke of Timrod and Hlayne, and their magic verses. Although some years have elapsed since ti. foremost poets of the State im mortalized the commonwealth by their verse, we have had several less renowned poets, one of whom EASTER CELEBRATION WILL START TODAY Many Attractive Events to be Pulled Off the Coming Week. The program for the coming week gives promise of being the most attractive series of social events ever held at Carolina. The entire week will be given over to a round of enjoyment from Mon day morning to Saturday after noon.

Sylvan Trophy Cup, cross country run. is a constant contributor to the press of the State, namely, Mr. .John Jordan Douglass. Mr. Douglass has written some splen did poetry within the last few years, and bids fair to rank high among the poets of the Palmetto State. The speaker said in closing: "One can hardly fail to have a feeling of pride at what has been accomplished by our people in this the highest and most exact ing of all the arts, with such slender resouaces under such ad v'ersel.conditions. South Caro lina is a small state, but she has produced world-famed men, and has made history co-equal with the"most imperial."
