STREETS 'ROUND CAROLINA MAY BE PA VED SOON Proerty Owners Around Uni versity Canpus Piresent Petition to City NO DECISION REACHED Council to Meet Next Week to Discuss Paving Program Fully Streets around the University cani pus will soon be paved if the Colum bia city council follows the wishes of the properity owners on these streets. Petitions are in the hands of the clerk of the city council asking that Bull, Divine, Sumter, Marion, and Pendle ton street be paved. G. B. Ellison, a property owner on Bull street, went before the city coun cil yesterday afternoon and presented a petition from the residents on that street, asking that it be included in Co lumbia's paving program. One of the chief points In Mr. Ellison's plea was the fact that Bull street penetrates the University campus where so many out of town people come to look for their children and friends. It also stated that the State University was of interest to people of the state, but that on account of the present condition of the street many friends fail to view part of the campus. No definite decision has been reach ed by the city council as yet, but J. A. Cathcart, Columbian from the fir:it ward, in which Columbia is located, told a representative of the Game cock, Thursday night, that the city council would meet again on Tuesday evening to hear any plea that citizens of the city migh present. All streets re cormnended for paving will be discuss ed then and in all probability the streets around the University of South Carolina will come up for discussion. - U.S.C. - SCRUGGS SPEAKS TO PRESS CLUB (Continued from page one) worth League convention and told me he would pay three dollars a column for my stuff. Well, I followed that convention from place to place all day long. I wrote 'copy' on telegraph poles. on ash cans, in churches, and ho tels and everywhere that can be im agined. As the crowd held services on almost every street corner and sang several songs at every stop, I would sometimes include several verses of the song in my 'copy.' At the end of the (lay when the last edition was on the streets and my stuff was measured I had written six columns about the convention. The editor paid me $18.00 atd fired me, but the Epworth Leaguers bought every copy of the paper they could lay their hands on."
