rCOL. BACON TELLS ABOUT
THE HOSPITALITY OF GAFFNEY
Says the Present Meeting of the Press
Association ..as "the Best in Thirty-Eight
Years" and that Gaffney
is "the Biggest and Brightest Spot
011 the Map of South Carolina."

Jupiter Tonaiis and fount of every

Limestone college, is a combined

of all. W. W. Ball, Edward Nor_

dinner is no less sumptuous than the
contact with a peo|?ie who scorn a
price! And IV. Lodge rises between
the cantaloupe and the fried chicken,
and, with exquisite geniality ami '
inor, tells us thai Limestone, having
kissed us, liking it. will long to kiss
j'.not her summer, many summers?
and to be kissed by us. Ami the
Lord do so to us, and more also, when

is mless sumptuous than the dinner.
And a sweeping St. Bartholomew's
Day takes place in the Limestone
chicken yard thrice in every twentyfour
hours! And .Jupiter Tonans ceases
not at any hour to hurl his thunderbolts
of love!
The Limestone Auditorium.
The hills and valleys and slopes,
and lawns and trees of Limestone college
are unsurpassably beautiful. She
towers three and a half stories above
the earth. She has more than a hundred
rooms. Iler auditorium is an extremely
large, beautifully arranged,
beautifully equipped theatre! A
great pipe organ, with an exquisite
front of pale green and gold pipes,
forms the background of the spacious
st aire. A magnificent ('bickering
grand piano sits to the right of the
organ. We bow low fo the lovely
auditorium of Limestone college.
The Placcs and Sights and Things.

The Little Negro With the Wheelbarrow.
And. il on the streets or in the purlieus,

a wheelbarrow, he slops, and,
with his ebony palm to his ebony

you. El you waul to go out lo do college

and journey from I he graded school
to I he college. We offered Pomp our
last quarter. He scorned it, saying:
"Not a cent, sir, Gaffney is?yon?n."
We fell upon his neck and wept, and
thanked God that He had mercifully
spared us to see this dispensation,
