REVIVAL MEETING,
BAPTIST CHURCH
The revival meeting at the First, 1
Baptist church came to a close Sun- '
day night. Dr. T. . Skinner preach- 1
ed his last sermon Friday night and 1
returned to his home in CJolmnom"
Saturday. <
The meeting was in every way a
splendid success. It is not extrava
gant praise to say that Dr. Skinner
won the hearts of all who heard
him, and his hearing in the town
and community was very laige>.
The singing of Mr. Frank E. Mc
Cravey and the playing of Mrs. Mc
Cravey were both attractive and
very effective* The large junior
choir, organized and led by Mr.
McCravey, was an unusually at-v
tractive feature of the meeting.
The large chorus choir, composed of
the singers from all the churches,
rendered inspiring service.
Dr. Skinner is a preacher of strik
ing charm and power. His sermons
were simple and yet challenged the
deepest thought of his hearers.
There was no offensive sensational- j
ism about Dr. Skinner's preaching,
ye-t there was manifest freshness, ^
originality and moving power in
every sermon.
Not only the Baptist church, but
the whole community, feels the up
lift and inspiration from a series
of meetings like these.
The Baptist church has received
into its fellowship, so far, as a re
sult of the meeting twenty mem

Search For Clues Continues With
Questioning of Chauffeur of
Mabel Normand.
Los Angeles, Calif., Feb. 16.?The
search for clews as to the murderer
of William Desmond Taylor, film di
rector, went on today with a re-ques
tioning of William Davis, chauffeur
for Mabel Normand, screen actress,
scheduled for this morning.
Sheriff's deputies, who cling to the
belief that Edward P. Sands, missing
former secretary-butler to Taylor had
nothing to do with the case, were
understood to have obtained some
information which made it desirable
to have. Davis quizzed again by the
District Attorney. It was understood
the additional information did nof
tend to involve Davis.
The chauffeur previously has cor
roborated the statement of Miss Nor
mand who was one 01 xne last w bcc
Taylor alive, that the director ac
companied her to her automobile
[when she left his apartments shortly
before he was slain.
Mack Sennett, film producer and
manager for Miss Normand, has been
questioned by a representative of
the District Attorney in the hope he
might be able to give information
e leading to a clew, but without re
sults, it was announced. Mack Sen
nett said he would be glad to aid the
author ties in every way..
Rewards totaling $4,500 have been
offered for the arrest and conviction
of the murderer.

ENVIABLE RECORDS
MADE BY ;
Clemson College, Feb. 18?The de- - . ..
merit record-of the crops of cadet*
of Clemson colZege for the first tern
of the present session is decidedly
the best in the history of the college, ' -d'M
according to the records of the com- J
mandant's office and the registrar's '
office. The figures' recently released. \Jz
show that 371 students receive^ M /7 r
demerits, 308 students received onjy <
one to 20 demerits. This means that : ^
80.4 per cent, of the entire student ./
body did not receive over 20 demerit#
for a period of three months.
Only 112 students received 21 t?
' demerits, 38, 41 to 60 demerits;
five received 61 to 66 demerits, 65
being the maximum number which ?
student may receive during the term. ; j
*' rmm
There was no cadet receiving dur-'
M
ing the term over 66 demerits, so that >^7j
no withdrawals from college were
necessary on account of excessive de
merits. *' . > ,
This is a most creditable showing
especially when one considers that
demerits are given as punishment for i ^
ous technical military offenses. ^
nd it indicates that the student body v
as a whole is a serious minted an4 -M
