Presbyterian Wins
12th Straight
State Tennis Titk
Presbyterian college racked up
its 12th consecutive South Carolina
tennis championship last Saturday
;in the finals of the state tourna
ment. The play was mere formality
, as far as team honors were concern
ed, with Presbyterian players in
every finals slot, battling for indi
vidual honors.
Defending Champion Frank |
Spears, Presbyterian’s No. 1 man;
who was seeded first, came through
as expected to take the singles
^tle again. He defeated teammate
Joe Dodd in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0,
6-0.
However, the championship dou
bles match proved a different story.
Spears and Bill Toole were extend
ed to the limit in overcoming the
combination of Dodd and Billy
Bradley. The count ran to 6-4, 6-2,
5-7, 4-6, 6-4, as underdogs Dodd and
Bradley almost pulled the match
out of the fire after dropping the
first two sets.
Dr. Marshall W. Brown, Presby
terian president, presented trophies j
to the winners and runnerup in 1
t-ceremonies which followed the
i play.
Woffftrd this season and will have
a bearing on the Little Four stand
ings.
South To Lead
Nation In Gain
In Population
Columbia, May 4.—The South will
make the biggest gains in popula
tion of any section of the nation, a
special report issued by Prentice
Hall company indicated yesterday.
The publishing company bases its
report on an analysis of census rec
ords, births, deaths and marriages.
The report showed that the West
will have a somewhat larger rela
tive gain in population, but the
South will be tops numerically.
The highly industrial and highly
populated North is expected to lag
far behind in population growth.
The great grain belt in the North
Central states also will fail to match
the national growth average.
Studies of census records indicate
there will also be shifts of popula
tion within states. There is a steady
trend of people moving from rural
areas into cities. About two-thirds
of the nation’s people now live in
urban areas and each year the
farms are losing half a million per
sons.
Over the entire country, a whop
ping gain in population is seen for
the next tan years. A record num
ber of births is accountable for this
growth.
The South, however, is gaining
its lead in population growth main
ly through migration. More and
more persons are pouring into this
area from other sections.
Smothering
Indigestion
Relieved
Mrs. Bailey
Mrs. Effie Bai
ley, Inman, S. C. t
writes: “I began
taking Scalf’s In
dian River Medi
cine because I had
heard so much
talk about it and
people recom
mended it so high
ly. I had suffered
for thirty years
from spells of smothering indiges
tion, resulting in a weak, nervous,
rundown feeling. I tried treatment
after treatment but Scalfs Indian
River Medicine was the only medi
cine that brought the blessed relief
I craved. I’m happy to recommend
Scalf’s Indian River Medicine to
others for I have great confidence'
in this fine herb stomach tonic.”
If you sufl’er like Mrs. Bailey did,
by all means start on Scalfs Indian
River Medicine today. On sale at all
good drug stores.
