OPTIMISM
A very strong claim to optimism
might be advanced by those who can
not find any fault with a South Car
olina legislature.
A POOR ADV
The frequency with which airplanes
have been carrying passengers on
joumevs from which they do not re
turn is a very poor recommendation
for certain types of aviation.
AWAY FROM HOME
Colleges and other institutions have
taken your boy or girl away from
home.
Wherever they may be they are still
interested in their home city—its peo
ple and activities.
Why not send them a letter every

A LYCEUM COURSE
Under the auspices of the Woman's
club, a lyceum course is to be present
ed during the coming winter months.
The ladies have shown good judgment
by selecting Redpath talent and this
insures a program that all will enjoy.
A lyceum course is always cultural
and affords wholesome entertainment.

possible, after a lapse of several years,

ronage they deserve.

Walter Johnson’s teams now rank

outstanding games have been includ

curious whistle, a long pipe and ‘hen
a short quick one, in the roadside a
little way ahead brought Archie to a
halt. He drew his gun from his pock

seconds the whistle was repeated and

PLAY MORE GAMES HERE
We are frequently asked by Clin-
tonians, and citizens of other places
as well, why Presbyterian college does
not stage more football games on its
own home grounds. While we have
no official authority to speak, we have !
been advised by several connected
with the college that football in Clin
ton does not pay. We are told that it
is impossible to make expenses here
but that the booking of games on for
eign fields always shows a substan
tial profit. This we suppose, accounts
for the fact that only one game on the
home ground is included in this year’s
schedule.
If we may be allowed to do so, we
would suggest to the college that
more games be scheduled in Clinton
since the sport is not solely a money-
making proposition, and that the com
munity unite and give the college a
liberal patronage and support.. It
would bring hundreds of visitors here
and be an excellent advertisement for
the college in many ways. The opin
ion the average man or woman gets
of an institution is formed largely
from tl>e appearance of its campus
and buildings. Presbyterian college

Beds That Invite SI
Simmons beds are solid, firm, noiseless and luxuri
ously comfortable, inviting complete relaxation of nerve
and muscle so you can sink into sound, natural, restful
sleep. Simmons beds besides being an invitation to this
restful sleep are a delight to the eye because of the ar-
tistic designs and the beautiful finishes. Every bed we
sell is a Simmons. We sell Simmons because they are
the best and because they are the leaders and because
they are no higher in price. We offer a large assort
ment of designs and finishes at prices ranging from
$7.50 up to $30.00.
