Governor-Elec Law Worked In Cotton Mill Johnston Began To Work At Age Of Six; Suffered Many , Hardships From mill hand to governor of the State of South Carolina is the remarkable achievement of Olin DcWitJ Johnston, governor-elect of the State, who was a graduate of the University of South Carolina Law school in 1931. Bdrn in 1896 ?in the little town of Honea Path, in Anderson county, Olin Johnston was set to work in the cotton mills at the age of six years. After working in the mills till he reached the age of eighteen, he decided that he was making no progress in his present position. Quitting his job in the mill, he set forth for Spartanburg where he entered the Textile Industrial Institute. Here despite absolute poverty, he "finished a four year course. His desire for learning not satisfied, he then entered Wofford College and for two years Johnston struggled along running a boarding house to earn his expenses. At the outbreak of the war, Mr. Johnston enlisted and served for twenty-four months in the famous Rainbow division. At the end of the war Johnston returned to Wofford to continue his college education. Finally in June 1921 he received his coveted sheepskin and departed from the walls of WofTord. A political career had long been sought after by Johnston, and so he entered the University of South Carolina Law school in the falf of 1921. During his three yeahs in the law school he found time to serve as treasurer of the Y. M. C. A., the president of the Y. M. C. A., to assist in formulating the national constitution of that organization, besides working his way through. His senior year in the law school found Johnston a member of the House of Representatives from Anderson county. Despite his other activities Mr. Johnston found time to engage in sports, football and baseball especially engaging his attention. During the war, Mr. Johnston engaged in boxing as a recreation. While at the University of South Carolina, Johnston was a member of the Clariosophic .SLitcrary society. ?u. 8. o.? sKoger Gets Role '1 In Coming Play Ira Koger, University law student, %' will take the part of the porter in the - famous "Knocking At The Gate" scene . in the Town theater production of Hamlet to be presented November 29 ? and .'50 and December 1.

More Interest Shown Amon Younger Members Than Has Been In Years "There has been an encouraging ir crease in membership in the Alumi association in recent months and I ai particularly pleased with the numbt of younger alumni who arc joining tli association," B. A. Early, secretary c the association, said yesterday. Earl added that there had been more ii terest in the association this fall tha has been evidenced in years. "When the chaos of 1929-30 hit tl state," he continued, "the Universil Alumni association was rocking alon on the crest of the wave. It had membership of better than 500 at visions of building itself into one < the strongest aggregations of its kit in the country. Then the bombshc exploded, knocking nearly half tl membership into the discard ar trampling the elaborate plans of tl association into the dust." He went on to say that a canipaif is to be instituted during the comir year in an attempt to bring the si: of the association to 1000 members. Early credited some of the rece increase in the interest of the young alumni to the special rates offered men for the first few years aft graduation. He also deplored the feeling th exists in some quarters that the ass ciation is primarily interested in ati letics. "The public and some unde graduates" he said, "maintain the b lief that an alumni association has tu purposes: (1) to act as an anchi around the coach's neck when 1 loses a football game and; (2) act as unofficial mediums for sendir the best football prospects in the respective communities to their cc lege. This is not only unsound h untrue.
