MEN TRAINING FOR CROSS COUNTRY RUN On Monday, November 13 physical director Blackburn or ganized a Cross Country Club and all students interested were invited to be present. About eight or ten men have joined and have been taking long runs near-: ly every afternoon during the week. The men have gradually worked up on distance. The first day they went four or five miles around by Shandon Annex and Shandon. The next time a distance of seven miles was run. The next run of five miles was i made out by Epworth Orphanage thence via Heathwood and Shan-, don Annex to the place wiere the road crosses the railroad about four miles from the Union Station. Thursday Mr. Black burn led them on a ten mile run, going about five miles out the Camden road, cutting across in a southerly direction from there, and thence back by Gervais ! Street. The last and longest run was made Friday and was for a distance of thirteen nifles. There were only four men besides Mr. Blackburn that went on this run and it certainly ought to h,ve developed their endurance. They went out the Atlantic Coast Line railroad for a short disance be yond the five mile post. There they struck out thru the wocds eastward on a small path and: came iuto the Garner's Ferry road south of Wade Hampton's place. They then followed the road to the Gyninaiium. Only one stop of about two minutes was made during the entire trip. I Next week the cross country runners are going to practice their paces on the Y. M. C. A. Course oi about five mile runs, They hope thus to be in goo(d trim to run ofI the preliminary to see who will represent Caro lina at. the cross country meet at Newberry on Thanksgiving day. There will be a team of three or four to make the trip and the 1prize wil be given to the team as a whole instead of the individual runner who makes the best time. Mr. Blackburn has hopes that Carolina vill show up well at this meet. The race will be at)out fiive miles and will take place be fore the P). C. -Newberry foot ball game. "Social Service as a Profes sion,"' was the subject of a lec turie given by Wim. P. Cross, sec retary of the National Confer ence on Charities and Corrections at the chapel hour Saturday. The speaker comp)ared this work with that of teaching and the ministry. He held up as examples to the students the lives of the fore most social workers of modern times PROHIBITIONISTS TO MEET AT LEXINGTON (CONTINUE) FROM PAGE ONF.) students for the part they will play in the final, victorious drive against the remaining intrench ments of John Barlepeorn. Speakers of national and inter national reputation, including some of the foremost scientific, educational, sociological, busi ness and political experts, have been secured for the four-day concentration camp. Chief a mong these will be William Jen nings Bryan, who has just an nounced his intention of hence forth devoting his energies to the cause of national prohibition. Another of the big features of interest at Lexington will be the national oratorical contest, the culmination of the most exten sive student series of the country, in which eight inter state winners, chosen by elemi nation from 1,400 original en trants, will compete for the highest national honors in stu dent oratory. Although originally organized for the systematic, scientific study of the alcoholic drink prob lem, the I. P. A. has gradually extended its supplementary lines of activity until during the past few years its ten thousand mem bers have become a real factor in the winning state-wide pro hibition campaign conducted in many states. Nearly a thousand students were engaged this fall in the stirring campaign in Mich igan alone, where the prohibi tionists swept the state with majorities of 60,000 to 75,000. Hundreds of other students were active in the campaigns which placed Montana, Nehraska, and South )akota in the dry column on November 7, as well as in California and Missouri, where the foes of booze lost out by small margins, and in the state and national campaigns waged by the Prohibition party. Ever since the adoption of the popular and prophetic slogan, "A Saloonless Nation by 1920,") by the great national Christian Endeavor convention in Atlantic City, in 1911, the young people of the country, particularly the great member ship of the young people's rieli gious and civic organizations, have been possessedl of the con viction .that the destruction of the liquor traffic is peculiarly the task, mission and opportunity of the present generation-their contribution to the progress of civilization. The Lexington convention is sure to eclipse all records for student conventions of a civic character, not excepting the record-breaking conclave of two years ago at Topea, Kansas,atn which representatives were pres ent from 103 colleges in 23 dif ferent states. "On to Lexington!" is the watchworo which will be passed along the line in 300 American colleges during the nexj few weeks. The spirit of the minute men of '76 is in the veins of the students of '16, and they propose to see this thing through. VISI'ING CARIDS. 50 FOR 75e. Rogers Ice Cream Co.
