court house, again being cheered.
This case grew out of the chief of
police taking offense at a sermon
,preached by 'Reverendl Thompson
against lawlessness, when lie said that
the law was not upheld as It should
be in Harbvell. Two weeks later the
chief attadkedl the minister on the
street, and it Is said that but for the
interference of onlookers that the
minister would have given the chief a
good beating, although the chief Is a
much larger man than the minister,
weighing about 200 pounds.
Friday morning the case was again
called against 'Rev. Ilomer Thompson,

HUSBAND AND WIFE
BOTH IN COLLEGE
Due West hs Three Couples who are
Carrying on Their Class Work.
Due West, Nov. 3.--Ronance and
ambition are shown to have under
gole a blending by the presence here
of four young married men who are
s1tidents of 10rskine College. In 'three
of the four instances the -wife of the
student is also taking one or more
Courses1 .4 either in 1'riskine College or
,t le Due oWest Woman's College.
Ambition to secure, an education
iand thereby be of greater service in
wile was the iaraimount motive behind
tie itatriculation of these students, ne
cordiig to their sliry related today
by a mmcinoberi of the faculty of 1'rskilne
('ollege. The iin(lividual instances vary
somewhat but back of tie presence'
of each coupie is the same motive
(hat of gratifying Ithle coisuming fires
of ambition.
.Johm liushard of Newberry is said to
be one of .the most outstanding ex
amples of dauntless ambition that has
evt' e'itered the doors of 10rskine Col
lege. After being married for several
years antd while employd at a satw
mill in Newberry coiity. this young
manl saw the need of anit eu(lg(ationi
an1d determined to go to college. II
is now C.Laryling onl his second year
of collegiate worki While his wife is
a mutlsical studeit 1at the Due West
Woman's encllege and is also assistant
librarian at '1rskine. '\r. Bushard al
so has a number of ditties in connec
tion witi the college which ie ills lit
additioi to his regular class twork.

business man in Charlotte until he ib
'ided to enter the ministry.
The presence of Mr. and 'Mrs. Tom
Shirley, of Ilonea Path, among the
students of 'Erskine College, Is the
mipletion of a romance that began in
the 'llonta Path high school. Mr..Shir
ley was considered one df the best and
most promising football ,players among
the high schools of the state. But lie
left for college with moro than high
sclool honors and a. determination to
make good in football. A romance that
started when lie and his frienlds were
ichool mates ended in the wedding of
this popular stal an(l one of the most
prominent of the social set of iIonea
al'at. liotlh are now members of the
freshiman class of Erskne College.
