We Believe In Our College Presbyterian College of South Caro lina means much to the public schools of Clinton by giving to those of lim ited means an opportunity to contin ue their education and by holding be fore them throughout their high school days this possibility of higher educa tion. It is both an insjiiration and a material help in their menUl and ath letic development and gives our town a finer high school. The spirit of mu tual helpfulness between the coHege and high school creates such great j confidence that the high school gradu ates enter the college almost in a body each fall, giving our community con tinuous education of the highest type.

If you haven’t purchased, do it today. Tnose who are planning to attend Chautauqua next week (and that means everybody) are remindet that the total cost of the combined numbers of the regular program amounts to $10.89, including taxes. If the season ticket is purchased the price, again including taxes. Is only $.3.30. It will be seen that more than two-thirds of the cost of individual tickets is saved by purchasing season tickets. It should be emphasized that the season ticket places the cost* of each performance, or entertain ment, at about twenty cents, or •less than an ordinary movie, or about the equivalent of a pack age of cigarettes. adache Relieved without “dosing.” Rub on ^ vtsss OVUi JAfi4JUiSCjD.yLAfti.y I The Verdict Is Ours To Decide 0 Will we heed the appeal of Presbyte rian College for aid in its present need?
