Friday, May 7, 1937 /T MONUMENT FOR "OLD BEN" Ci Some yours ago u movement was launched to erect u monument on State 11 ouho Square to the memory of the Honorable Benjamin Ryan Tillman. The depression hit the propaKanda head on and It watt abandoned. That corpse Is being resurrected. Aw a starter, the outline of Mr. Tillman's life and achievements, by John K. A ill 1. veteran syndicate writer of Columbia, Is belriK sent out. Mr. Aull has done the work well. His document gives, In splendid form. the salient ta< is of Ills public life, in uk rlculture. In iln* newspapers, in the governor's chair, and In the C. S senate He was a power In every organization, in which he functioned. He had a wonderful in I/id. He was self-educated He battled successfully for useful reforms. He could .meet giants In debate ami give as many sears as In* received He did much for South Carolina. He was the Blading pioneer for a Woman's and for an agricultural college. Wo know of no public man since Wade Hampton, whose memory Is more deserving of a monument thun Men Tillman. The people should rally to the movement, and put it across. In the tlrst skirmish the sun of 10 thousand dollars was appropriated by (he legislature for that purpose. Hundouts now from legislatures are fully twice what they were In those days. And this appropriation may be squeezed up to 2u thousand If we remember correctly, the people of some counties gave practically nothing before. This evidently meant that there was little systematic effort to get the money. Take that World War Memorial building in Columbia What some bailiwicks did was a Joke The late John Iv Wanuauiaker led* the forces in Calhoun ami promptly collected more than the allotment, while many of the counties hardly struck a trot. You remember how they kept the road, hot to get that money In Columbia long before the campaign ended.? Calhoun Times. - ????? 7? "?

Mr and Mrs Jack Clyburn and daughter left last week for I-Akeville. j Conn., where they will spend the summer % ' High School ProM Banquet On Friday evening the High School Press staff put down its mighty pen and turned to the pleasures of knife and fork. Before a large open fire at The Pines the statT ranged along the banquet tables and gave Itself to the celebration of an annual event, the Press Banquet. The evening opened with a cordial word of welcome from the edltor-lnchief, Hill DeLoache. After the invocation by the llev. H. Hryoe Herbert, the Htaff and guests were seuted, and the courses were served. The Press Banquet was not "Just another supper." It waa purposeful and well planned, balancing high spirited converaatlon and pleuaure with u program of ^informative ,ad dresses. The 11 rat addreaa waa delivered by Professor Fred C. Kendrlck, of Ureesivillo, S. C. Mr Kendrlck la director of the South Carolina Scholastic Presa aHHoclution. This addreaa presented in detail the requirements and problems of High School Journalism and waa a definite plea for the recognition of Journalism as a part of the high school curriculum. Professor Sumuel C. DePass, head of the Department of Journalism at the ('diversity of South Carolina, delivered the second address. Mr. Del'aas is a former citizen of Camden and spoke of his continued interest in the city. His address combined some very Interesting facta of the history of journalism with words of advice concerning the successful operation of a high school press. These addresses were followed by remarks of appreciation from certain members of the faculty and guests. Miss Ktta Zemp, faculty adviser ot lite press staff spoke of the honest effort of the staff to do the best possible work under the difficulties of limited time and equipment. The community and the staff are Indebted to Miss Zemp for her untiring loyalty to this field of training. The speakers wore briefly am*l appropriately interested by Miss Paillette West and Miss Anne Clurkson respectively. These young ladies are assistant editors of the Hull Dog. Much more important than the banquet is tiie existence of the press staff ami the excellent grade of work that they have done in publishing the Hull Dog these many months. This is at present an extra curricula activity for the faithful performance of which credit is due to each member of the staff. The reading of the paper is not a duty but a pleasure. The Hull Dog deserves the support of the community.
