II NEW PRESIDENT TRUSTEES OF UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA RECEIVE ' / lqng PETITION. INCOMPETENT EXECUTIVE I* Lacking in Qualities Required tc Make Institution Great and to Draw the Students to Him. Students of the University of South Carolina have presented to the board of trustees of that institution a peti tion .asking foe a new president in place of the incumbent. Dr. William Spencer Currell, which is tantamount to asking for Dr. Currell’s resigns tion. The petition was signed by 166 students out of an enrolled student body of 240, of which 40 were young women, who were not approached on the subject. Thirty-four of the men did not sign, the majority of them, it is said, being special and day stu dents who did not room in the campus dormitories. The petition was voted on at a mass meeting of students. The board of trustees gave immediate consideration of the petition. The petition states that the institu tion has deteriorated under the presi dency of Dr. Currell, whom, the stu dents allege, is an efficient and in competent executive, is lacking in the qualities which would draw the stu dents to him and has not the leader ship which will make the university a great institution. -Hayem’ Healing Honey Stops The Tickle Heals The Throat Cures The Cough Price 35c.

The Amount of fertilizer purchased In South Carolina by farmers for use in planting cotton for the year 1919, will show a tremendous reduction as compared with the 10-year average.
