PROF. RECTOR HOLDS SEAT IN LEGISLATURE House Unanimously Rejects Proposal to Declare Place Vacant. An effort was made immedi ately after the general assem bly convened last week to de clare vacant the seat of Prof. ,Victor E. Rector, representa tive from Darlington County. A resolution was offered by Mr. Rector's colleague, John 0. Kelly, stating that since Mr. Rector had been made a member of the faculty of the University he would be hold ing two state offices and could not longer represent his coun try. The house refused to ac cept the resolution, the vote against it being unanimous. In reporting the incident The State said: "Mr. Rector is serving his first term, having been elected to the legislature from Dar lington County in the summer of 1916. He is a young man who has been markedly suc cessful as a teacher and after his election to the general as sembly he was offered a place in the faculty of the Universi ty, to teach agriculture. He is an ardent enthusiast for the teaching of agriculture in the public schools and this zeal and special capacity caused his appointment to the University faculty. "Upon his election to the University, Mr. Rector said he communicated with James A. Hoyt, then speaker of the house. Mr. Hoyt- advised that there was no constitutional in hibition to the retention of his seat in the legislature, while a member of the faculty of the State University, simultaneous ly urging Mr. Rector to retair his place in the house. "When the resolution was introduced yesterday Mr. Rec tor asked for immediate con sideration. 'I want the mattei settled and settled now,' he said , 'and if I am not entitle to a seat in the house, heaver knows I have no desire to oc. cupy it.' On motion of Repre. sentative Moise of Sumter, th( house unanimously refused t receive the resolution." President W. S. Currell spoke .January 19 before the Spartan buirg County Teachers' Associa tion. On January 26 he spoki before the Abbeville ?County Teachers' Association. On Jan uary 27 he delived twvo addresse: in Beauifort-, one in the afternoor before the public and the othel at night before the marines ir training near that town.

The legislature is not such a huge joke-not when it comes to asking money for useful purposes. Those who hand out lots of free advice run great risk-for how do they know they will not be put in the other fellow's place ? Then if they fail it will be doubly so. Speaking of soft jobs. The umpire of a baseball game in the home town with the visit ing team in the lead and the censor of mails of soldiers in France have soft snaps beside the editor of a college news paper. We have received information from reliable sources that "Fat ty" Sifford didn't eat any supper on Christmas Day. Wonder Why?
