LAW DEPARTMENT M. R. Reese, Editor Thursday night the case of Herman Schwartz vs Black Diamond Co., was argued be fore the Supreme Court in the moot court proceedings. This was an appeal case which was tried in circuit or common pleas court in which a verdict was rendered in favor of the Plaintiff for $10,000. The defendant company alleging that it had been deprived of property without due process of law, which was a violation of a constitutional right or guaranty. The plaintiff recovered for personal injuries under the "Employers' Liability Act" and the defendant company con tended that this act was uncon stitutional. Mr. Murphy a member of the Columbia bar, acted as Chief Justice and ren dered the decision of the court which held the act constitutional and therefore aflirmed the ver dict in faver of the plaintiff. Mr. Dinkins appeared for the plaintiff-respondent and Messrs. Adams and Pender represented the defendant-appellant. DINKINS WINS ORATOR'S MEDAL Senior Law Student Won Over Many Competitors. J. G.

Dinkins has been an active society mem ber for two years, and his friends rejoice in his success. This is the second annual ora torical contest.

The judges were Editor Banks of The Record, Alan Johnstone Jr., and Irvine B,lser. Tri-State Meet. A tri-state high school track meet is being advocated by the High School Track Association.: If the meet is held this year it will probably be within the next: three weeks. Columbia is a good point, and the University field a good track for the con test. Just in the past few years has high school athletics been of in terest. Remarkable results of this upgrowth were manifested on Davis Field last week. The winners in last week's events should constitute teSate eam THE CAROLINIAN I am asked by the editor of THE GAMECOCK to review -the April number of THE CAROLINIAN-a difficult, perhaps an invidious task; but I can not refuse a re quest of THE GAMECOCK. I have at least one qualification which I regret-that, with only one ex ception, every contributor is per sonally unknown to me; so that I must needs be impartial. Can dor I recognize also as a duty. The number is, on the whole, a good one-at least fairly rep resentative. I will attempt a brief notice of each article. The initial paper, on Dr. Morse (to whom "this issue is affection ately dedicated") should give every Carolina man- -and espec ially Virginians like myself-a thrill of pride. The writer is ev idently, and justly, in love with his theme, which may pardon a little affectionate glow of style. By way of criticism, I will only remark: Lwice occurs the ex pression "a fellowship with Clark University"-the idea being, I think, of fellowship not with the University, but with "other fel lows" in the university; yet I am not sure of this. The phrase "conversant on any subject" should be "with any subject." When the writer says that Dr. M. has "indelibly insinuated in" he is guilty of an awful jum ble of "mixed metaphors." And where does he get that ugly "big word," 'motivate'? "The Ode to Spring" is anoth er proof of that literary skill and exquisite taste, which-more than mere scholarship, so highly qualify Professor Chamberlayne as a teacher of ancient lan guages- the teaching of which is so often only a "demnition grind." The "Summer Evening Rever ie" is good, thoroughly good. Its language is simple, its sen tences short and clear, its con ception fine--altogether most creditable to the writer J. McB. D. There is one delicious touch, all the finer because, I believe, unconscious. "She laid her hand on mine;"-a little later "That little hand in mine." 0, Mr. J. McB. D., how did it get there? [ forgive you that little tell-tale preposition: I should have done it too! EDWARD S. JOYNES. (Continued next week) Notice.
