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:

CHECKS AND CHANCES
BY
PHIL E. BUSTER
It usually takes about four
years in college to find out how
little the other fellow knows.
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?
A CHRONICLE
All about the blown wind's
ways,
Never unbelieving,
With a mellow, antique grace,
And triumphant grieving,
Came across the meadow,
Went beyond the hill,
Thin as any shadow,
Passed my chronicle.
Earth writes the epitaph,
Rain and leaves wear it:
Eyes to see, lips to laugh,
Are my shadows near it?
