B Coker ; V University Tr\ Given ye Of David R, Coker vented By M. V. Izlar "ax payers League \c of David R. Coker of senior trustee and promiuis of the University of >lina, has been placed in for the governorship of olina hy M V. Izlar, of An. C. Mr. Coker was gradjm the University in the class Last June lie was given an rary degree by the University of jrth Carolina. The Anderson Record quotes Mr. Izlar, official of the Farmers and Taxpayers League, as saying: "Coker is the man of the hour, if he will accept the responsibility. If we are to re-establish our credit, reduce taxes, cut down government costs and place the state on a sound financial basis it is necessary to put a successful business man at the head of the state government." Jn an editorial the Record adds: "It is doubtful if there is another man in South Carolina who could inspire a more universal confidence and win a more whole-hearted cooperation from the general public than this man Coker." .The Greenville Ncivs and other South Carolina newspapers have expressed themselves in accord with the sentiments of the Record. All, however, seem to think it doubtful that Mr. Coker will accept the nomination. To quote the Greem'ille News: "The big trouble however is going to be to get Mr. Coker to stump the state in the political "circus" carrying the whole burden of his campaign as one individual seeking an office. The same statement applies to many other men of high calibre and ability who could give South Carolina splendid and effective service in the governor's ch^ir. Same men of this type have offered for the office in the past, it is true, but they have usually done so at much personal sacrifice, putting aside their distaste for the sort of campaign one has to conduct in South Carolina. "Citizens who seek to see such men in office might get better results by forming some sort of organization, nominate their man, support him in organized fashion in the party primary, and share the burden and expense of the campaign, thus putting him forward not in the light of a man seeking an office, but as the choice of a well defined public movement seeking to put him there. Such a development in South Carolina politics, The News is confident would have a very wholesome effect in the way of improving the quality of our office holders. . . ." u. s. o.

Felice dc Horvath. The "Sakuntula Overture" by Goldmark introduces a sacred Hindu theme treated in drama by the Hindu Kalidasa, the brightest of the "nine gems of genius," who adorned the court of King Vildramadit in the first , century B. C., ranking as his personal , masterpiece and also the masterpiece , of all oriental drama that has been translated into European tongues. All the essential characteristics of tense drama, highly embrodered < poetic passages of love and misunderstanding in idyllic setting, the omis- | sion of violence and the inclusion of a happy ending" are artistically presented in the vividly colored overture. The wooing of the divine maid Skuntula by the King while disguised on a hunting trip is abruptly interrupted by a summons to court. A secret marriage and separation, her j loss of his ring which would have proved her identity, his loss of memory and consequent refusal to accept her and her ascent to the celestial realms where lie eventually reunited with her and his son, now a c fine boy, this forceful legend permeates the romantic score of the music c with it's phrases of pleadings, mourn- . ful gricvings and final triumph. This number of the concert is a delightful j interpretation of Hindu music and drama. Assisting on the program will be the Matteson quartette composed of: Mrs. William Furtick, soprano; Mrs. William Sweeney, contralto; Robert Lafaye, tenor; and Maurice Matteson, baritone. The complete personnel of the orchestra includes; Madame Felice de Horvath, conductor; Mrs. E. O. r Black, pianist; first violins, Mrs. Dorotjiy Bird Taylor, Lucilla Mikcll, Mrs. George Ropp, Mrs. L.

Potatoes Given As College Fee Particularly in accordance with the >I?rlnt from the American Manazinc i a former issue of The Oamccock imes an up-to-date version of the farm produce expense account." One hundred students at Lees-Mcae College in Banner Elk, North 1 arolina have been able to obtain an lucation there this year through a fstcm of accepting farm produce om students for expenses. "Two boys brought enough sweet otatoes to supply the college for the itire winter. At the beginning of i ic fall semester, the college took in i student accounts eight cows, one , ule, 470 pounds of beef, 84 pounds | honey and several bushels of , ain." u. n. o. ^ Lee Smith, University engineer, ad- < inced the opinion that the break was 1 used by the tremendous pressure < :crted upon the outside of the fcnty-one year old pipe by the hard- 1 icked clay. The pipe at a depth of teen feet, was mashed into an oval. Difficulty was encountered not only locating the break but even more 1 replacing the pipe, which is encased < a hard protective covering. Mr. * nith said that the engineer* found * necessary to take short lengths of laller pipe down into the hole and ? ove them into the old pipe, which c uld not be removed. s > ' -m-*w on tor v v . *'.
