DISPENSARIES CLOSED LAST THURSDAY Educational Institutions of City Petitioned Governor Manning. At a student body meeting in the University chapel on Sat urday morning before Fair Week the student body voted to peti tion Governor Manning to closE the dispensaries during the week. This step taken by the college men was only a futher ance of the purpose of the pro hibition club that was organized last spring, and which did good work. Chicora and Columbia Colleges and the Lutheran and Presbyterian Theological Semin aries signed similar petitions through committees from each body. Adhering to the requests of these institutions and the good people of the city who upheld the morals of the men' and women who came to Columbia, Governor Manning had the dis pensaries closed and order was preserved. As was stated by officials and visitors, this has been the best and biggest fair with the least number of acci dents and disturbances ever held in Columbia. Women could safely go on the streets.

The second mass meeting, held in the chapel wednesday night, was even better attended than the first meeting. The student body gave several hearty yells for the speakers, after which "Trust and Obey" was rendered by the University Quartet. R. W. Wade, a member of the senior law class, was first speak er. He based his talk upon "Supporting the Team." He then told what kind of support the team desired. "It wants the moral support of the whole student body," he declared, "but does not appreciate the bets made on it." The second speaker was Hon W. P. Etchison, who is City Re corder of Columbia. Mr. Etch ison's subject was "Something for Nothing," The speaker be gan his address by paying a great compliment to the morals of the University men. He said that during the time he had been recorder only two or three men from this institution had ap peared in the police courts. "That is a fine record, " he said, "for a college of over five hun dred students." In dealing with his subject the speaker said that one of the greatest evils the college man -has to guard against is the temp tation to gamble. He then made the statement. "You can not get something for nothing. Betting has the same effect on you," he affirmed, "that drugs have on the body." The speak er said that as a business prop osition -a mere matter of dollars and cents--men . are beginning to find out that it pays to live clean, pure lives. "For," said he, "the business man wants the young fellow who is four sides to to the wind." I Mr. Etchison closed his lecture with these words, "I want you to remember that no success comes to anyone except he keep clean. Your employer is going to want to know what you are, and what you can do. Be pre pared and you cannot be prepar ed unless you have r mind which is clean and pure." The Y. M. C. A. meeting will Ibe one of the best of the season, Mr. Daniel Iverson, of the Co lumbia Theological Seminary, and one of Carolina's prospective baseball pitchers will deliver a short address on- "Fishing for One Hundred and Fifty Pound ers." Miss Jennie Engels of Chicora College will render vocal solos and Miss Dantzler of Chicora Iwill render a violin solo. Miss IEdmunds will play .the accom paniments. DOY'OU TAKE YOUR COLLEGE WEEKLY?
