COTTON GINNED IN

Letter From Dr. Cason
On Repeal Of The
I8th A in end m e n t
NEWBERRY, Mar. 28.—Recogni
tion of the thorough training be
ing given young men and women
at Newberry College has been ac
corded by New York state. Dr.
James C. Kinard, president, is in
receipt of a letter from Harlan H.
Homer, assistant commissioner for
higher education in the state edu
cation department at Albany, ad
vising him that the department
has registered the course of study
offered at Newberry for the Bache
lor of Arts degree. Dr. Horner ex
plained that the holder of New
berry’s degree would be admitted
to a registered law school in New
York state with full college status
and that the degree was approved
for credit toward all qualifying
and teachers’ certificates for which
college education is a prerequisite
except teachers’ certificates in
special subjects. The effect of this
decision is to give Newberry Col
lege an accredited rating in the
state of New York.
With the delivery today of the
im catalogue by the Herald and
News, local printers, it became
known that next fall Newberry
College will offer a B. S. degree in
addition to the A. B. and B. Mus.
degrees. College authorities are of
the opinion that broadening the
curriculum in such a way as to
place more emphasis on scienca
will attract many students who de
sire practical rather than cultural
training in view of the epochal
technological developments in re
cent years. In this connection
Dr. Kinard pointed out that the
student body this year has remain
ed virtually constant since the op
ening, when 350 students matricul
ated.
Editor the McCormick Messenger,
McCormick, S. C.
Sir:
For the life of me I cannot see
how the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment will be the great boon,
both materially and morally, that
its opponents claim.
I wish to call the attention of
your readers to the following facts:
1. Repeal will be followed by
greatly increased consumption of
all kinds of alcoholic liquor, if pre
parations for increased business on
the part of brewers and distillers
are an indication.
2. Repeal will open the way for
the return of the saloon, for the
proposed resolution does not pre
vent its return.
3. Repeal will give to the liquor
traffic legal standing. Now the
speakeasy is illegal; the saloon will
be legal. The speakeasy is largely
a child of the night; the saloon will
have long hours, day and night.
4. Repeal will not feed the hun
gry, as its proponents say, for the
SOUTH simplest can see that the same
money cannot buy bread and beer,
or bread and whiskey.
The Bureau of the Census an- 5 - Re P eal means ^at the boot-

6. Finally, if the Eighteenth
Amendment is repealed, the cause
1931 will lie in the desire to obtain rev-
1.010.271 enue from the sale of liquors to

29.741 budget be balanced by some tax
6.630 less devastating than that on the

14,019 hood, womanhood and childhood?

The idea of “cotton commence-

1,599 schools and colleges in the cotton
22,791 states during the past two years,
18.999 takes on added significance this
37,806 year, according to the Cotton Tex-
29,029 tile institute, on account of the

7,251 tions of the country to have both

says, will be an important factor
this year in more schools turning

saves graduates and their families
