Carlton F. Winn, president of the organization, presided, and expressed the club’s pleasure in having the ladies present as well as a number of out- of-town guests. The speeches were well received and for such an occasion •were neither too frequent nor too long. The invocation was offered by Dr. D. J. Brimm of the Presbyterian college faculty. After the sweets of the menu had been reached, the toastmaster rapped for order and" the- even'.ng’s program was entered upon. Rev. John MeSween, who was not listed on the printed pro gram, was first called upon for a few I remarks and his happy impromptu re- 'sponse was well received. ‘ [ The Rev. F. T. McGill, pastor of the ! Presbyterian chhurch at Cross Hill, I responded to a. toast “To the Ladies, ” und expressed a beautiful sentiment and appreciation of woman’s influence and worth in religfous, educational, business spheres, and the home. The principal address of the evening was made by Lieut. Gov. Thomas B. Butler of Gaffney, and one of the state’s outstanding lawyers. He se lected as his subject, “Where the Mon ey Comes From and Where It Goes,” and delivered an address that received and held the rapt attention of All his hearers. The address of Lieut Gov. Bulter was a striking one on the tax prob lems' of South Carolina, discussing in an intelligent manner, both the direct and indirect forms of raising money for the operation of the state’s varied interests. The speaker showed in a forceful way, how the state’s revenue is provided with special emphasis on the great benefits and enormous mon ey-raising power of the indirect* sys tem known as the nuisance taxes. The distinguished speaker showed tha the greater part of the $10,000,000 appropriation bill is being utilized for educational- purposes, both for the pub- jlic school system and higher educa- jtion. He made an impressive plea for the education of the state’s boys and girls that ignorance may be dispelled !that his surrounded and enveloped our j people. The spending of money for the education of the youth, in his opinion, was cited as the most profitable in vestment that can be made. Col. But ler’s entire address was an intelligent presentation of the state’s financial problems and he was cordially received land welcomed by the large assem- jblage. Delicious punch was served during 'the evening by a number of the lady ! guests. I I Attractive program covers w-:r€ placed at each plate, giving the list of members, together with the officers and directors. The occasion came to an end shortly before eleven o’clock af ter an evening of enjoyment and good fellowship in evidence on all sides.

L King Son The Ladies Shop’ To Meet Wake Forest Next Tuesday Jn One of Season^s Hardest Fought Battles. Working in a drizzling rain tlu* I Presbyterian Blue Stockings began j their preparations for the coming game with Wake Forest. The game is to be played at Wake Forest Tues- jday, Nov. 10. The Wake Forest team is very heavy and has a fast group of backs. The line will average around 200 pounds while the backs average around 180 pounds. They have a good team, this being shown by their show ing against Wofford last Saturday when they defeated the Terriers, 18 to 0. In the past three years that P. C. has played Wake F'orest the Presby terians have been victorious and the Baptists are anxious to win this one. Going into the game as slight under- ;dogs, the Presbyterians know what ithey are up against and are down to ,real work. They have been going through their practices with plenty of snap and the Presbyterian followers believe that the Calvinists hate over- jcome their jinx of the past games and will give Wake Forest a battle royal for*' the victory. ; The team came out of the Erskine game with only one injury. “Skeet” Galloway, who played a whale of a game against Erskine, was removed near the end with an injured back but has been improving each day and by the time the game comes around it is hoped that he will be ready to start. Yesterday the team went through a light practice in signal drills. The work was out in a slow rain and Coach Johnson sent the team in early. The team enjoyed a short swim in the new I Leroy Springs pool. The pool was opened up for the first time Monday, i The pool, a gift of Col. Leroy Springs, cost approximately $50,000 and gives the Presbyterian college one of the 'best equipped athletic plants for small colleges in the United States. The pool tis one of the prettiest seen in this 'part of the country and the Presby terians are indeed very proud of this wonderful gift. The pool is super- ^vised by two college boys and open to I the students every day and to the public on Tuesdays and Fridays.
