Former Professor
Speaks To Students
(Prom The Blue Stocking)
Professor H. T. Lilly of Davidson
college, a former English teacher at
P. C., was the speaker in chapel Mon
day morning. Mr. Lilly had spent the
past summer traveling through Rus
sia and he took this subject for his
speech.
When Mr. Lilly was at P. C. he was
one of the most popular professors.
: In the past he has traveled over Eu
rope with Dean Brown, and his trav
els have not only given him plenty of
material to work with but also given
him ideas which makes his speeches
interesting on almost any subject.
The subject of Russia was especially
so inasmuch as the conditions in that
country today are very different from
any other country in the world.
Mr. Lilly began his talk with the
difficulties of getting into Russia ex
cept by a guide who shows the visitor
only those things that make the coun-
try look best. He said that one could
take very little into the country. A
month or six weeks is required to ob
tain permission to enter. Russian mon
ey must be exchanged at the border.
Probably the most interesting part
of the subject was the attitude the
Russian government takes towards
marriage. It is altogether Communist
and does not favor marriages. The
marriage ceremony is a matter of
signing a book. The same holds true
in case a divorce is desired. Either
party can obtain this without consent
or consideration of the other. The gov
ernment takes care of the children un
til they are of age, which is about six
teen years. In this time they are
taught communism, to follow the
teachings of Lanning and to believe
that there is no God.
The Russian government will let no
one into the country who might in any
way effect the teachings of the gov
ernment. The people are not allowed
to hold property and ninety per cent
of the population is the poor class.
The people are twilling to work but
have no trade. The government
handles all food and sells directly to
the grocer. From our point of view
some of the conditions seem practical
ly hopeless and we are prone to won
der how such a government can exist.
Another interesting thing that Mr.
Lilly pointed out was the misconcep
tion of the average Russian. He sai j
the .\merican people tend to look on
the Russians as a bloodthirsty, evil
type that would kill you were^ the op
portunity to offer itself. Instead of
this the people are as kind-hearted as
any that can be found on the face of
the earth. They are mistreated, but
kind, and will gladly do anything to
help a stranger. True, they are emo
tional, which accounts for the won
derful music produced by the Russian
people. Mr. Lilly said that some of
the most beautiful operas in the worli
are in Moscow.
It was surprising to hear just the
I conditions that existed in a country
that formed one-sixth of the total
world. While their condition looks
hopeless, it is better today than it was
before the war, and where it will end
is a matter of guesswork only.
HOPE TO RE-OPEN
COUNTRY CLUB
Movement Now Underway To Pur-
- chase and Operate Property As
Lakeside Club.
Citizens of Laurens county will be
interested to hear of a movement un
der way^to re-possess and re-open the
Country club under the new name of
Lakeside club.
The first step in the movement was
taken when a handfull of citizens of
Laurens, Clinton and Goldville met
two weeks ago at the club to consider
whether such a plan is feasible. .
A committee was appointed to ne
gotiate with Dr. Jack H. Young, pres
ent owner of the property, and to in
vestigate the condition of the club as
it now stands.
The report of the committee was
very favorable and citizens of the
three communities were invited to
meet at the club Monday night to hear
he report.
The result of the meeting which w?is
well attended was to enthusiastically
endorse the report of the committee
and set on foot plans for organization
of a corporation to re-purchase and
own the property, and direct the or
ganization of the club.
In Clinton the committee appointed
includes the following: W. P. Jacobs,
chairman, B, O. Whitten, Frank Kel-
lerS, p' It: la^tlby, R. E,; Fei^sow and
George Comelson, with W, A. Moor
head of Goldville.
Thirty-two members were enrolled
at the meeting, ~ivith about twenty
more indicating that they would join.
The meetin^f set one hunired stock
holders as the minimum and maxi
mum, with stock par value of $100.00
per share, and membership dues of
$7.50 per quarter.
The committee was directed to se
lect the 100 members and collect the
funds for the stock subscriptions on
a basis of $60.00 cash an(( 30 and 60
days notes ,of $20.00 each for the bal-
nace. Of the $10,000 collected, $6,000
will be used for the purchase of the
property and the remaining $4,000
will be used for improvement of the
club, equipment and maintenance.
k feature of the organization is in
the “pay-as-you-go basis of finance.”
The meeting, considering that the
club enjoyed too much credit in the
past, and realfzing that very small ex-
pemlitures are necessary to place and
keep it in good condition now, went
on record as disapproving any fur
ther debt. .\3 organized the club will
owe nothing and will not under any
condition be allowed to go into debt
in the future. Its financial future can
thus be reasonably assured.
The water is being immediately
drawn from the lake. It will be
cleaned out completely, all the old
lake equipment removed and new
rafts, diving towers, slides and other
modern lake equipment will be install
ed and the lake floor sanded.
The golf course will be put in first
class condition and other improve
ments will be made about the prem
ises.
Fried Carrots Jkte Good
If the family does not like carrots
plain boiled, tl'y boiling them until
tender, then roll in egg and crumbs
and fry in butter until a golden brown.
I The committee reports that it is
! meeting with excellent success, with
j indications that the end of this week
j will see the completion of the mem-
|bership drive and i.he close of the list.
The fixing of the number at 100 has
accelerated the movement and the
I committee is experiencing very little,
difficulty in completing the selection. |
Citizens desiring to be numbered in,
the 100 are advised to turn in their;
names to one of the committee this
I week to avoid disappointment.
I It is understood that the interest in i
i Laurens and Gold\nlle is equally as j
' great as in Clinton, a number in both'
I localities having enrolled as stock
holders.
Ham and Apple Salad
Cut baked ham in small cubes; use
one cup ham to one of diced apple
ani a half cup of diced celery. Add-a
few chopped nut meats; blend with
mayonnaise and serve on crisp let
tuce, garnished with ripe olives.
It is stated that the present or re-
i placement value of the property pur
chased is over $15,000.

Five Shots Fired At Ohio Father In
Doorway of Church At End
of Morning Mass.
Canton, Ohio, March 10.—Shot down
by a woman as he stood in the door
way of St. Anthony’s church here
where he had just concluded 9 o’clock
mass this morning, the Rev. Father
Joseph k. Riccarbi, 34, parish priest,
died at a hospital late this afternoon.
Bullets entered his neck and abdo-j.
men.
No motive was given. Mrs. Mamie
Guerrieri, 27, arrested and denied bail,
was questioned by Prosecutor Henry
W. Harter, Jr., of Stark county, but
shfe would make no statements The
priest before he died, is said to have
/told the prosecutor that he “could not
understand” what the motive was.
The woman during mass sat near
the rear of the church with her 5-year-
old daughter. After mass, the priest
went into the vestibule to baptize a
baby. The woman followed, according
to witnesses, and exchanged a few
words with him. She then drew a re
volver and fired five shots. Three went
iwild. Hurrying into the street, she
was arrested and the revolver taken
from her.
The theory was advanced by Bishop
Joseph Scrembs, of Cleveland, who^
during the day conferred with church
^officials here, that the shooting re
sulted from dissatisfaction over re
moval of the church from its old lo
cation. ^ d^Bpiitp nver the removal
had caused bitterness.
