tribute to a fund that is to be used
for the general improvement of athle
tics at the institution we all love..
* Many former P. C. students, now
scattered all over the state, are turn
ing their thoughts this way and are
“coming back home.” They haye been
invited by Dr. Douglas and have been
assured a most cordial and hearty
welcome to the college campus. So,
all roads are going to lead homeward |
and many will be coming back to^ re-1
new college memories which have fol-1
lowed them like music everywhere
they have wandered. As they come
back ter the “little college town,” let’s
give them a hearty welcome and our
unfailing affedtion. Let’s show them
in reality, that the old ties still en
dure, that we appreciate their coming
as memory twines its wreaths of glory
about their faces and personalities.
“Some day I’m going home.” So
runs the dream of all the roaming
world.
Clir.tm will welcome P. C. Alumni
and friends with open arms and
! hearts. Their visit to our city is a
pleasure and an honor.

THOUGHT FOR EDUCATION
WEEK
Henry Ward Beecheronce remarked
that it was the German school-house
which destroyed Napoleon Third.
Similarly it could be said that it was
the Little Red School-house of Ameri
ca that" destroyed Kaiser William of
Germany. If one nation goes in for
school books and a rival country goes
in for guns and cannon, the one that
depends on school books will win in
the long run.
Similarly the power of the school-
house is greater than that of any
tyrannies of the time. If wealth gets
too much power, the masses by educa
tion will find means to hold it in
check. If vice And fraud become pre
valent, the country can check them
by the power of the school-house.
Brain power i? greater than any
material power. It enables our people
tef overcome any obstacle that may
confront them.
All roads lead to Clinton tomor
row.
A great many people are like fish—
they seldom keep their mouths closed.
P. C. Alumni are shouting the cho
rus—“I’m Going Back Home!”
A lady writes about the rights of
pedestrians. They haven’t any.
No, Jason, you can’t tell how old she
is by the length of her skirt.

Welcome we extend to every former
P. C. student.
A SPECIAL APPEAL
The Thornwell Orphanage is send
ing out a special Thanksgiving ap
peal to the Sunday Schools in the
three synods of Florida, Georgia and
South Carolina. It is directed to
young and old people alike, in the hope
that a substantial collection will be
made to aid in the institution’s work.
The past year for all charitable in
stitutions has been an unusually hard
<*ne. This is true at Thornwell. The
long drought, the curtailed cotton
crop, and business conditions in gen
eral,* have had a telling effect on the
receipts. The result is an accumulat
ed deficit that must be met. The hope
is therefore expressed by the authori
ties and board of trustees that this
special appeal now being made will
receive a hearty response, and that
the treasury may be replenished to
care for the continual needs of the
home.
As our minds turn towards Thanks
giving and its pleasures, we should not
forget the orphans. “Pure religion
undefiled before God and the Father
is this, To visit the fatherless and the
widows in their afflictions, and to
keep himself unspotted from the
world.”
Folks who fuss about the tax on
automobiles might be reminded that
shoe leather is not taxed.
We are exhorted to beware of pride,
but not many of us have much of it
left any more.
If mistakes are as valuable as some
folks insist, then lots of us are pretty
well off.
The Clinton Business League is the
name of a new organization made up
of the business men of the town of
Clinton.
Dr. J. D. Jacobs is erecting a very
pretty cottage on a lot adjoining that
of his brother, Mr. J. F. .Jacobs, in
“Spencer Woods.”
Cleveland Street, named for Grover
Cleveland, has been opened out from
College to Centennial streets and will
be a popular thoroughfare.
Our church united with the Metho
dist and A. R. P. churches in welcom
ing to Clinton the Rev. C. Lewis Fow
ler, the new pastor of the Baptist
church.
Rev. Mr. Hooten is now supplying
the Associate Reformed Church of
Clinton. We congratulate our sister
church on once more having the Word
of God from the lips pf their own
pastor.
Mrs. Wm. S. Lee, widow of the first
president of our college, has spent the
summer with us at the orphanage.
Mrs. Kennedy, Widow of the third
president of th‘e college, is now a
member of the orphanage family.
Mrs. Constine, so long manager of the
College Alumni Hall, has accepted
work with the Thornwell Orphanage
and will have charge of the laundry.
Mrs. Winn resigns the laundry work
\and takes supervision of the Anita
Home.
A man cab usually be caught by
looking, and he can be kept by good
cooking.
HOME-COMING DAY
Tomorrow, designated as annual
Home-Coming Day for Presbyterian
College Alumni and friends, will bring
into our town a great crowd of visit
ors for the happy celebration. The
stage is all set for a big day—a real
gala day the like unto which we have
not had in a long time, and all of
Clinton should enter into the spirit of
the occasion.
The outstanding feature, of course,
ia the Oglethorpe-P. C. game which in
addition to being a. fine exhibition of
football, carries with it a considerable

recently died in Hawaii. You know
where he has gone.
It is about as hard to get the boys
up in the morning as it was to in
duce them to go to bed the night
before.
High school girls are not expected
to know much about dates of Ameri
can history, but they are familiar
with all those they have made with
the boys.
It’s a safe bet that dot so many
husbands would desert their wives if
their wives would support them pro
perly.
Material is being delivered for the
new Union Station. This station will
bt one of the handsomest in the up-
country and Clinton will be proud of
it. Just as soon as it is finished the
town improvement society should take
hold of the ground adjoininfcvthe sta
tion so far as it can be secured and
make a beautiful plant of it with ce
ment walk and concrete borders. This
little breathing space should be pro
vided with seats and a fountain, and
the newly proposed Confederate monu
ment should be erected in its center.
You won’t have any anxiety what
soever as to the lung power of the
coming generation if you’ll attend a
football game.
Some folks are very familiar with
distant states and countries who do
not know what is going on in the
back streets of their own home town.
Tomorrow is the day to “Stop Those
Stormy Petrels” and we have a hunch
that those P. C. Calvinists are going
to do that very thing.
The seismograph is a wonderful in
strument. It records earthquakes that
nobody would have known about
otherwise.

Mrs. Jane Burlegh Vance, widow of
Mr. Samuel F. Vance, was a -sweet
and gentle character. I had known
her for 45 years and in these many
years I knew nothing of her but to
love and praise. The tablet of life is

memory the innumerable kindnesses of
these many years. What a beautifbl

We wish to .call your attention to a blowing device recently in
vented for the purpose of drying garments of all kinds, especially
silk dresses. This prevents dfesses from shrinking regardless of
any process it may be subjected to.
After the garment is subjected to a cleaning process, every
thread of the garment is harmlessly blown out to its full capacity,
length and size, renewing H to its hewAess and fluffiness. And
prevents the garment from being subjected to a rigid pressing
(which usually shows iron marks, etc.) and this is hereby elimi
nated. ’
This blowing machine has been installed for the benefit of our
patrons, and is now in operation in our establishment for the pur
pose of overcoming past objectionable features.
We solicit your elose inspection, and ask that you note the
difference in the appearance of your garments when they are
returned to you from our establishment. We also wish- to extend
you a cordial invitation to come in and see’ this machine in opera
tion, and you will realize its great advantages.

this is probably the first time in the
—history of the United States that a
football game is played between two
cClleges, one of which was founded
largely by the labors of a father, and
the other largely by the labors of a
son, and all practically within one
generation. Dr. William Plumer
Jacobs’ nf.me will always be associa
ted with the Presbyterian College as
its founder, and to hib youngest son,
Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, must go the
credit for having establi&hed Ogle-
thrope University in Atlanta. There
fore, it is peculiarly fittiiig that teams
representing the two institution are to
■ meet for the first time on the grid
iron, each bent of course on defeat-}
ing the other and carrying off the
laurels of the day. Both teams are in
fine shape for the battle and . the
lovers of the great sport have in store
tomorrow a real afternoon of enter
tainment.
But the football battle does not close
the day’s program. In the evening in
the orphanage chapel, the Oglethorpe
$ Orchestra, composed of sixteen real
artists, will give an entertainment
that promises to be one of the best
enjoyable ever presented before a
Clinton audience. It is given here
under the auspices of the Clinton
Kiwanis Club for the benefit of the
College Athletic Association and every
seat in the large auditorium should
be occupied. It is hoped that the Clin
ton people will give the young colle-
a great audience upon their first
here, and si the same time con-
thought to be highly accomplished if
he could play on the guitar?
