Newspaper headline says:
"United States Goods Sold Very
Cheap in France." Let's all go
to France, follow our goods, as
it were.-Chesterfield Adver
tisef.
Chicora College seems to have
all the pretty girls this year. We
believe Chicora and C. C. take
turn about in having the pret
tiest girls so that neither will
lose its popularity--a gentlewo
men's agreement, as it were.
National politics is one thing
we don't believe we would like
to get mixed up in. They deal
too much in retorts courteous.
When a person says something
about us that isn't so, we don't
care to have anything to do with
retorts courteous.
We can't .understand why
- Clemson adopted such a motto
as "A Clean Sweep" when they
knew that they had games with
Carolina, Auburn and Georgia
Tech on their' schedule.
Mrs. Rinehart's new book, "A
Poor Wise Man," must be the
biography of a normal college
professor.-The State.
Metzger's fighting South Car
olinans held North Carolina t4
one lone touchdown. North Car
olina held Yale to three touch
downs. We mig4t take on a,
game with Yale next year. If
scores may be used as a com
parison, the sons of Eli wouldn't
have scored but 28 points on us
this season.
Some students say that the
study' of Latin is a joke. We
wonder if they realize how much
it would help them in their so
called study of English, how
much it would help them in get
ting the meaning of English
words without having to go to
the dictionary. But these are
only minor details. The effects

and people need such recreation,

Girl in the iLthousine" type of
show serves neither the purpose
of relaxation nor recreation, just
the opposite. We are for keep
ing offerings of this calibre away
from this city.
Much has previously been said
and written about having a kirl's
dormitory on the campus. For
our own part, we can't under
stand why the State hasn't start
ed the erection of such a build
ing. It is building homes for
the professors, which homes are
certainly needed, but it makes no
provision for the co-eds. Why
can't their be a home for thent?
We would have a considerably
larger number of women stu
dents from over the State if
they were not forced to room
out in the city where they are
charged from $15 to $25 a
month for a room.
Many women would rath
er have a diploma from the State
University than from a girls''col
lege. The former will help them
a great deal more than the lat
ter. If a State University is
going to have co-education, we
believe in that State furnishing
a home for its women students.
A REMINDER
We occasionally hear state
ments to the effect that the honor
principal should be abolished at
Carolina. We are glad to say,
however, that such statements
almost invariably come from
those not directly.connected with
the University, and who do not
know the dominant part this sys
tem has played in our existence.
It is needless to say that such
statements are absurd to every
loyal Carolina man, and their ef
fect on the principal is a minus
quantity. However we would
like to take this occasion to re
mind every student that the
honor principle is as old as this
institution itself. So firmly is
this great principle established
at Carolina that we might as
soon speak of abolishing the Uni
versity as this great ideal. No
tradition envelopes our campus
that commands the great respect
and love as does'the honor prin
cipal, and no remarks or actions
can diminish this adrniration in
any shape, form or manner. To
uphold this cherished ideal and
to promote its popularity and ef
ficiency should be our constant
endeavor. In so doing we revere

It never pass to peddle hard
luck stories. They always are
a glut on the market. Every
one has a stock of them. Very
few are strong enough or self
denying enough, to refrain from
giving them away.
'It's such a satisfaction to
feel that we're a little bit worse
off than others we know; that
we need sympathy a trifle more
than they do. It makes us feel
that 'we have- been honored of
fate, who has singled us out as
worthy of her B. B. degree
Burden . Bearers-such a dis
tinction in itself. .
It makes no difference if we
bore others by the repetition of
our ills and pains. That we do,
even if they are courteous
enough to listen without visible
protest, is certain. They have
troubles, too. We call them to
mind. They, in turn, would re
count them to us, so that misery
could -be enjoyed to the full.
And how much comfort we
do get out of enjoying misery l
Oh, yes, we'do! Else we would
avoid all that calls our troubles
to our constant realization. We
might forget them for a time
did we make the honest effort.
But sone of us do not. We go
about hugging our aches and
pains, clinging to our miseries
and unpleasant memories.
We've each ' our own load.
Some of us have heavier ones
than others, but we've all some
kind of a burden to bear. That
it is not always visible to the
eyes of others makes it.no light
er or heavier. Why not carry
it bravely and silently, getting
our minds off the hardness of
it as much as we tan?
Self-pity is such a sorry thing
to embrace. If you must trade
in the mart of life, let's ex
change that for cheerful en
durance.
WOMAN, TAKE NOTICE.
"What is man without woman,
pray tell me 1
Just a sort of two-legged mis
take.
He has no one to care for him,
Or pull his hair for him,
No one his wages to take.
He is sore of a rind of lemon
Or a hat without a head.
Can't insure his own life
For if he has no wife
There is no one to wish he were
dead.
The word / wretch,' since the
World began.
Is a -woe-begone womanless
man."
Chorus
(Repeat ten times for emotion
al effect.)
Man without a woman is a ship
without a-sail,
A boat without a rudder or a
fish without a tail.
Man without, a w,oman 'is a
* wretph beneath a ban;
There's onaly one thing worse
on earth,
'It' a woman without a inan.
