WE NOMINATE HIM.
The University of South Carolina
should be the greatest school in the
state. It should rank with the Univer
sity of Virginia and the University
of North Carolina and other like in
stitutions, but it does not. The Presi
dent of the University, Dr. Currell,
has just resigned,, his resignation is
effective a year hence. He is a
scholarly man and we assume that
he is a ereat educator. Other good | *
men have been at the head of the
University, but none of these have ^
made out of it in recent years just
what we would like the University
to be.
But we do not despair of the Uni
versity. It has done good work and
it will continue to do good work. It
will do better work accordingly as
we are able to procure a better exe
cutrve head for the institution. With
out saying anything against any of J *
the men who have been at the head c
of the institution, we believe that we! *
may safely say that it would be well
to secure as the new president a man
from the state, but one not connect
ed with the present management of
the institution, and one who it could
not be said was the choice of the
Columbia party,' if such there is,
which is accused of assuming a kind
of proprietorship of the institution
or of sn^otiiiw. minority of the peo- x
pie. We need, of course, an educator t
at the head of the state's first school p
of importance. We need next a man g
of fine executive ability. We need a g
man who can and will attract young e
men to the institution, and who can s
gain and hold their confidence when a
they have gone there. We need a a
man who can assume a leadership of
these young men and maintain it, a
man of industry, of wide human sym
pathy, and of sound common sense.
We need a man big enough to rep
resent the University on occasion
with credit to the state and to him
self, a man who will grow and make
the University grow. We need a man
who can take a firm hold on the sit
uation at the University, get rid of
some of the things about which the
people of the state complain, and
wha can make the University a safe
place to which to send the boys of
the state, a man who can do all this
with a minimum of effort and with
out seeming to give offense. We need
a great big man at the University.
And wo are prepared to name the
man who is big enough to honor the
position, efficient enough to succeed,
with executive ability enough to
:cbmnt&n4 the situation, with th? nec
essary leadership, industry, charac
ter and scholarship to make of the
University just what we would like
to see it and to fitly represent the

MARKETING MEN MEET
Member* of Organization Commit
tee Promise To Work
Columbia, Feb. 13.?Members of
the organization committee of the
South Carolina Cotton Growers'
Cooperative Association at a meet
ing held her? Friday heard the most
encouraging reports as to the pro
gess of the campaign over the state,
heard C. 0. Moser, secretary of the
American Cotton Growers' Ex
change tell of the wonderful suc
cess of the Texas association which
is handling the 1921 crop for its
members and laid plans for an in
tensive drive during the next two
and a half months.
Darlington county is now leading
all counties in South Carolina with
a total of 17,000 bales signed. Dil
lon county is second.
Mr. Moser told the members of
the committee that the members oi
the Texas association had gotten an
average of $15 a bale more foi
their cotton than had the farmers
who are not members. He said he
could furnish proof of this if any
one doufbts it. The growers are de
lighted with the results they are
getting and the bankers and busi
ness men are also highly pleased
because of its contributing to the
prosperity of Texas.
Mr. Moser spent Thursday in
Raleign, N. C., he said the organi
zation of the North Carolina asso
ciation, the campaign to sign up
200,000 bales having recently been
completed in that state. It was
found after ail of the tabulations
had been completed that the total
numiber signed had reached ap
proximately 400,000 bales, or. al
most double the quota.
The very best 1 men in North
Carolina were elected Officers and
dirctors of the association, Mr.
Moser said. The campaign for the
formation of the association in
Georgia is progressing very satis
factorily. The Arkansas association
.has already successfully concluded
its campaign.
There was much enthusiasm at
the meeting of the organization
committee Friday and every man
present arose and promised to go
home, take off his coat and work
until the close of the campaign on
May 1.
WHAT SHOULD THE
NEWSPAPERS PRINT?
New York, Jan. 26.?Newspapers,
and what they should publish have
long been a puzzle to the layman, but
a class of budding journalists at Co
lumbia has reduced the question to
cold figures. One hundred embryo
Horace Greeley's have passed on the
question of what news really is, and
the result is interesting.
Four prefer to read scandal while
20 dislike it; 29 prefer politics and
3 find such news objectionable; 25
like news from foreign lands, while 3
don't; 14 are partial to the dramatic
section of the newspaper and not one
would wish it deleted; sports are read
by 14 students; economic news is a
favorite by 8 to 2; finance takes the
short end by a 4 to 13 vote; social
news is read by 4 and scored by 9.
Thirty-six of the students said they
chose what to read by wflat the head
lines said. Twenty-seven judge the
news by the departments in which it
appears. Thirty per cent of the class
were "casual" readers of advertising
with clothing and department store
;ds in the lead.
git he matter thru, when you sea a
pollertishin introducin a bill to kut
his own sailiry and git it thru you
go up to Dale Bockstalls and git
you a gallon of mollassis and a
ham and charge it to mee. they will
allers talk bout lower taxes and re
ducin salliries, hut they is allers
talkin bout the uther fellars sailiry
and not their own, and when they
git to bat they is afeared to kut the
other feller fur feer the knife will
slip and cut thern. i has bout made
up my mind that the only way fur
a man to reduce his taxes is to go
sell all he got and give it to the
poor, and then if the poor what git
it don't look out they will ketch
bell, 'but that is. there bizness if
they take what you give them.
well, it is about milkin time and
i don't see nuthin of any of the
boys about eo i will klose and walk
up streat awhile till sumboddy. git
home and do the milkin then i will
drop in fur supper and go to bed.
Yourn in the flesh,

' der today. The trial of the case
lasted 22 minutes, including the
1 drawing of the jury. The trial was
1. also unique in the fact that the "
state's only witness was the mother

; self. Solicitor Harris requested a
i verdict of not guilty directed by the
court.

! ing clubbed by members of the

i I __ J i i
ui mis v;ity, anu ner sun-in-iaw,
George Uthe, planned today to go

"Of course, I know I am old
enough to be his mother," she said,
