Carolina Bad Boy Off For Chicago MERGER JOINS OAPONE "Squint-eye Chuck" Mercer, famous gangster of Columbia, and a pal of "Scareface Al" Capone, Chicago gangster and racketeer, was reported to have left Columbia this morning for Chicago to join his friend Capone. "Scareface Al" was released a few days ago from the Philadelphia penitentiary and has sent a c?*ll from the Windy City to his gunman pal to come and join him. The above news was given a Gamecock reporter this morning by Chief Swearingcn of the Columbia police force. "Squint-eye Chuck" is well known in this vicinity for his deeds of violence and bloodshed. Formerly employed as a professor at the University in the department, he resigned this position some time ago when a student in one i of his physic classes died from heartfailure wljen "Squint-eye Chuck" told a new joke. The sudden change from old and obscene jokes was too sudden for the student and the shock unfortunately killed the young man. Everyone remembers the trial which followed when the gangster was arrested and tried for murder. The case was quashed when the attorney for the defense made the statement that Mercer was a "wit" and the solicitor rose and admitted that the defense was half right. The defendant was then thrown out of court. It is to be hoped that the gangster arrives in Chicago fine and has one swell time before he is taken for a ride by some of the other toughs up there.

GRILL CLUB T INTOXICA 4 It has been announced that the Grill Club of the University is negotiating an alliancc with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Leaders in this movement to put the Grill Club in the field of honorable service to doomed mankind are E. K. Pritchard, Buster Mathews, and Hu^h Wilcox. These three gentlemen, when interviewed became very eloquent in stating their stand in favor of the 18th amendment. "We mean to rid the world of every drop of the damnable stuff," stated Mr. Mathews with much feeling. "It shall never be said that the dear old Grill Club did not do its bit for our beloved Carolina." "And do you know," gasped little Eddie Prichard, "They tell me that the vanilla extract used over at the Mess Hall contains 2 per cent alcohol. It s the wanton deeds such as this that we plan to put a stop to." "And," put in Mr. Wilcox firmly, "I am going to see Dr. Foster right this minute and demand that the athletes of this University stop using alcohol to rub down with. Why, let the big brutes use witch hazel."
