mm 11??? in i i~i "fur ..I i Junior Senato On Inet Slight Sympathy Offered Those U Automobiles While Intoxicating Arguing vociferously over a bill to publish names of drunken drivers each month in newspapers throughout the state, members of the "Junior Senate" of the ?uphradian Literary Society departed from their usual decorum to such an extent that the hall rang with the shouts of exasperated "senators" who were questioned on every point of their argument. Leading the proponents for passage of the bill, "Senator" Rice insisted that drunken drivers were more dangerous than earthquakes or cyclones, and, that all precautions should be made to put them under lock and key. On hearing this one of the opponents of the bill declared that he was wrapped around a pint of mean corn even then, and defied any of the members to produce any evidence that he was even slightly inebriated. In the face of this first-hand testimony it would have seemed that the Conservatives, who proposed the bill, would have lost their cause, but the fight continued, with a fiery speech by Luke Williamson to the effect that to publish the name of any offender in such a case would violate the very principles of the U. S. constitution. The argument was closed by Solicitor Brown, who was paying a visit from the Clariosophic, and was prevailed upon to ^WHEN A NEEDS A When fate hangs heavy over yc retain a cheerful outlook with i genial BRIGGS.

According to Dr. G. A. Wauchope, head of the English department at the University of South Carolina, the drama movement can be traced back to 1913. Dr. Wauchope, at that time callcd a meeting of the people who were interested in dramatics. They met at the University of South Carolina, and the result of this meeting was that the Drama Club of Columbia was organized with Dr. Wauchope acting as its first president and W. W. Ball, then editor of The State, as its secretary and treasurer. Mr. Ball is at present editor of the News and Courier of Charleston. Lectures, discussions, and one-act plays were rendered at its monthly meetings. The club remained until the year of 1918 when it became the Stage Socicty, which built the Town Theatre. Danny Reed, New York State actor, was "discovered" by this society in an entertainment organization at Camp Jackson, near Columbia, in showing how a theatre could be organized. Mr. Reed was the first director of the Town Theatre, which is now under the capable direction of Mr. Belford Forrest. it. a. a.
