For catalogue and blanks, write to, COL. O. J. BOND, President, The Citadel, Charleston, S. C. Associate Refo'rmed Presbyterians of the South, as rock-ribbed in their democracy as they are invincibly grounded by David’s Psalms, by res olution adopted at the Saturday ses sion of their annual Synodical meet ing in the First Church, of Charlotte definitely set themselves in position to become Republicans in the vent of the nomination by the Democrats of Governor A1 Smith for the presi dency. And they were not in the least timid about doing it. Arising at a quiescent moment during the busi ness session of the Synod in the af ternoon, the venerable Dr. F. Y. Pres sly, of Due West, S. C., presi dent of Erskine Theological Semin ary and towering in influence like a Matterhorn among the members of the Synod, introduced the resolution which was interpreted to represent a direct commitment of the Synod, as a church court, against the New York governor. The Resolution Dr. Pressly’s resolution was as fol lows: “Civil government is an ordinance of God and obedience to constituted law is a Christian duty. As a court of the Church of God, therefore, while we d'savow any intention of dealing with party politics, we would remind ourselves that where great moral issues are involved, our obligation is to God before party loyalty.” Dr. Pressly is not accustomed to speak in lengthy defense of his res olutions before this court, and on this occasion, with the reading of the motion he presented, he walked slow ly back to his seat. Dr. D. G. Phillips, pastor of the church that is host to the Synod, was instantly on his feet to approve the sp'iit of the rrsclution, but not the text. Called Too Tame “It’s too tame,” he shouted. “I want this body to go on record as naming the man it is opposed to. There is no use in obscuring the is sue. We do not want A1 Smith as the nominee of the party and I would like to have his name called out in the resolution.” Dr. W. W. Orr, Tabernacle pastor, was equally as emphat c in his pro tests against the timidity of the phraseology. “I have mighty few more years to fight the devil, but I accept the challenge to spend the last few in fighting h m in any form in which he presents himself, and specially if in the garb of the liquor interests.” Dr. Orr launched into a castiga tion cf those who would seek to re enthrone Tquor in this country and he asserted his determination to de sert a political party that had the daring to offer the voters of this country a man as wet as A1 Smith. Nothing was intimated in any of the discussions as to the rel'gion of the New York governcr. It was his wet ness that aroused the wrath of the Seceders. As soon as Dr. Orr had ceased fir ing and called upon his proponent of the resolution to “name the man” he was after, there was a ripple of evident zest in motion and one could plainly tell that the churchmen were ready to let the world know how they stood o n Al Smith as the Dem ocrat nominee. Some Opposition Judge J. E. McDonald, Winnsboro, S. C., was not long in getting to his feet ahead of any of the other pro tagonists for the resolutions of con demnation. He called attention to the fact that the founders of the As sociate Reformed Presbyterian Church would look with horror upon Synod, as a church court “trying to commit its members to a purely pol itical platform.” He spoke, he said, not as a con tender for Al Smith, but as a church man who believed that the church and the state must be kept separ ate and distinct and he vigorously disapproved of action “that will be popuarly co'nstrued as a definite commitment of this historic church court against a political party and a political figure.” Dr. G. R. White, the eldest of all the members of the body and who resigned the pastorate of Ebenezer Church in this county the other d»y after an unbroken pastorate of 53 years, followed Judge McDonald and was the only other member of the ■Synod to declai - V<- v-» the measure. Dr. White, vV.*o was crying aloud and sparing not for the cause of prohibition before half of the present delegates were born, could not endure the idea, he said, of Winthrop Commence ment Is Drawing Near Winthrop Commencement is just r short while off. During Commence ment the annual meeting of the Alumnae Association is held. This year a very large meeting is expect ed. as so many are planning to at tend class reunions. According to the schedule the classes of ’91, ’92, ’93, ’94, ’03, ’10, ’ll, ’12, ’13, ’26 are to have reunions this year. Many graduates of other classes are also planning to be present. The Class reunions will take place, if not otherwise arranged, on Monday af ternoon, June 4th, in Johnson Hall. And on Tuesday, June 5th, the An nual meeting of the Alumnae Asso ciation will be held at 10:30 in John son Hall, followed by the Annual Alumnae Dinner, which will probab ly be served in the ball room of the Andrew Jackson Hotel. Committees are planning for an unusually inter esting program and meeting. Every Aljimnae should plan to at tend this meeting and dinner. It is earnestly hoped that everyone will, for some very important business is to come up at this meeting. And it is needless to say that, everyone who attends will be amply repaid with the pleasure she gets out of meeting old friends and renewing old acquaintances. The College and the Association is appealing to ycu to return, to lay aside your work for two days at least, and join with oth ers in making this the biggest meet ing ever held at Winthrop. Winthrop wants you to come and show her you haven’t forgotten her. Your Alumnae Association, and your youngest sisters, the Seniors, are looking forward with pleasure to your visit. Let us all be there, and unite in singing our old College song: Winthrop College! Winthrop College! How our hearts beat high with pride! Ever shall we stand together, Winthrop Daughters, side by side. BESSIE HARPER, Pres. Winthrop Alumnae Assoc’ation. XKt Babe Ruth Has Staunch Admirer In King Of Comedies Harold Lloyd Devout Fan Of Sultan Of Swat Special Livestock Train To Tour State For Month A. C. L. Railroad A:?d Clemson Extension Service Give Free Exhibit When Harold Lloyd is seen root ing for Babe Ruth in his latest laugh provoker “Speedy,”’ to be shown at the D xie Theatre, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, there is no make be lieve about it. While the Sultan of Swat was straining every nerve and muscle last year to exceed his home run record for fifty nine in a season, Lloyd was pulling for him every day. When the comedian went back east to make his New York street scenes for “Speedy,” every oppor tunity he had to get away from work found h' - m at the Yankee Stad ium rooting for all he could for the Babe. He was there the day the king of the home run ring shot his six tieth four ply drive into the right field bleechers. and no one was more demonstrative than Lloyd. In return the Babe is a great Lloyd enthusiast. That is the only reason he agreed to work with the comedian in “Speedy.” The Babe has a select bit to perform in the bespectacled comic’s new offering,! and he did it mighty well, too. Lloyd is the proud possessor of the bat with which Ruth made his record drive. Babe presented it to h m directly after he had lammed it for the loop. “Speedy” show’s Lloyd, in one se quence, in the role of a baseball en thusiast, and it is in this part that he wins some of his biggest laughs. Ann Christy is an excellent foil for Lloyd, and being an Indiana g'rl provided him the the “ideal” New York type which the picture called for. The production is relersed by Paramount, allowing the court of his o' arch to set itself up as trying to co . nit the members of the denominatio o poli tical alliances. He took h: politics and his religion out of different spoons. “I know what I will do when it comes to the question of voting for Governor Smith as a ei zen. I know what I am going t * do now when it comes to voting on a resolu tion of this soVt as a chur< .man.” Approval Of Synod Judge McDonald, Dr. White and Dr. J. H. Pressly, of Statesville, who did not resist the resolution on the floor were the members cf tb e hodv • •• - t-* • i r' *•’ jufeumoi men; aa Synod arose t& its feet in approval of Dr PressljTs manifesto putting “Obligation yto God above party loy alty” f I CLEMSON COLLEGE, May 28.— A livestock development train wil' run through South Carolina between mid-June and mid-July demonstrat- 'ng to the people of the state a way to greater prosperity through more and better livestock. This “special” will be sent by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad over its own lines as well as the Charles ton and Western Carolina, and the Columbia, Newberry, and Laurens tracks, stopping at 52 of the princi pal towns for Exhibitions. The Ex tension Service of Clemson College is co-cperat'ng by providing the livestock and equipment exhibits for the train and sending with it agri cultural specialists to confer with interested visitors. Exhibit cars will carry hogs, sheep, dairy cattle and chickens rep resenting the best types of breeds, some undesirable individuals and a disease exhibit. On a flat car w 11 be a laying flock of hens in the Clemson type laying house and a flock of chicks being brooded in a Clemson type broeder house, both fed and managed by the Clemson plan. There will furthermore be ex hibits of equipment, feeds, and liter ature desirable for these types of farming and a lecture coach with screen and machine for picture slides and reels. Visitors will be invited to go through the train., hear the lectures and consult with these extension spec'alists. At many towns along the rc'ute elaborate programs are be ing arranged by county agents, chambers of commerce, schools, mer chants and farm leaders. V. W. Lewis, general livestock agent, who recently visited a simi lar special demonstration train in Missouri, is in charge of the rail road’s arrangements, while Dr. W. W. Long, director of extension at Clemson College., is in charge of ex hibit". and prc'grams. Schedule of Atlantic Coast l^ne- Clemson College livestock and poul try development special.
