Thy summer raiment green Have touched, and now full robed in gold, Thy leafy host is seen. And softly steals the autumn breeze, Its chill and silent way, Among thy ranks, and death decrees, For all the vast array. Thy golden armor now so bright, Aside will soon be cast, To scatter far in heedless flight, Before the wintry blast.

Not the experience of others, how- ever, but the experience of our own efforts in trying to avoid what others had devised in the field of annual publication. And with such a purpose in view, both in the planning and the compiling of this the second volume of the PaC-SaC, the staff have kept this question before our minds: What really is an Annual? Indeed it must not be a literary magazine, for the societies already have published three issues of their literary magazine. And so in answer to such a question, in the pages of this book we have endeavored to avoid encroaching upon the thought energies of others, and to work out here our own definition of an annual. We have striven to make it a picture-book from cover to cover, the best possible answer to our question that we could conceive. A book to which in the future we may turn and review with pleasure, and live over again our pranks and associations as they really were. A book in which those who have gone out before us may read themselves into like experiences as herein portrayed, and spend another season at old P. C. A book m which our friends may see our college life as it is and not be com- pelled to trust to some dreamer ' s pen to delineate. Then realizing our purposes, oh reader! whoever you be, turn the pages of our book and be the judge of how well they are carried out.

All at once without any previous warning, one is rudely shaken out of his blissful dreams of home and visions of cookies and pie by the awful jangle of that blessed (?) bell out in the yard. This comes off about seven-thirty, but it ' s all a fake, you don ' t have to get up till the fi ve-minutes bell. Then you yank on a bath robe and make a hundred yard dash for the Judd (Mess) door — eight o ' clock. Goat hash, stewed prunes and hot dog, with C. S. molasses a la dilute for dessert. At a quarter of nine everybody is herded into one big room called the Chapel. After the regular devotional exercises, we are forced to hear Doug rear around for a season of great length. Now young men, I see that someone has been spitting on the walk leading up to the Administration Building. I can ' t understand that, for you all are young gentlemen and should never expectorate, also you learn to use your lead pencils only at the right places — the wall is not the right place. I notice also that the marks are on the decline; that means too much loafing up town. Now, while I do not like to condemn, yet I must say that you are all children yet, and your conduct must be regulated. The new Science Hall will be ready for occupation next week at two o ' clock. Oh yes, Kelly will scrape the ball diamond early to- day so as to have it ready for Coach in the morning. Are there any more an- nouncements from any member of the Faculty?. I will meet all of my classes in the new Science Hall two weeks hence — all absences in the meantime must be accounted for , says Prof. Cartledge. 1 would like to see the following men at my room sometime between the fourth and fifth period to-day: Mr. J. M. Thompson , says Dr. Kennedy. I would like to meet the members of my sub-fresh class in Science immediate- ly after chapel , says Prof. McLaughlin. After these last parting shots the young ladies are dismissed, then the young gentlemen are sent out into the loving embraces of their dear professors. (Oh, how I love my dear teacher.) Suddenly the door of the Greek room closes behind your back, and you feel as though you are being gradually dropped into an abyss of despair and engulfed with hyomei . The recitation is frequently interrupted to remind one that I have been teaching Greek for twenty-three years . After pronouncing a prolong- ed curse upon them as won ' t study , the class is dismissed with a parting injunc- tion against making noise in the halls. Now we have it! Oh, the glories and the bliss of that hole dominated by one called Venerable . Now heah, its very evident that you haven ' t studied the lesson to-day. You ought to be at home hoeing the veggetubles in your mother ' s gyarden. If you wouldn ' t smoke so many segyars and play so many cyards, and ride around so much in Mr. J ' s cyar, you might not flunk . (Above likel y to be said to anybody). P over 2 equals plus or minus XYZ; now that ' s your old friend you met back in your Freshman year . Then we drift along a few steps down the hall to bask in the beaming smiles, and blink in the luster of the shining countenance of Proffessor Graham. After helping Caeser build a few bridges and Cicero to abuse Cataline, and Virgil to revise his sonnets, with a few thurfores interspersed, the class is dismissed. But as an after-thought, we are all reminded constantly that, a D is enough for anyone to make . Right across the hall we meet Professor Woodworth ' s, Do you see the point? There is always the irrepressible conflict . This piece Mister-r-r C — . lacks both coherence and emphasis, your sentences are not well enough balanced and lack symmetry . Then Scansion of In Memoriam is dessert. Then we skip along merrily upstairs into the dignified presence of Dr. Kenne- dy. When I was at Hopkins! This author says , or your author says so and so. Q. Dr. Kennedy, who wrote the Penteteuch? A. Well Woodrow Wilson says . Comparable to this we have the policy of Mr Wilson . Mr. T — , will you please wake up; you might learn something inadvertently. Next we trail along in single file up the rickety stairs of the new Science Hall into Chemistry, where we are greeted by Prof. Cartledge with outstretched hands, ( Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly.) ' Take the following questions for our daily five-minutes written quiz: Dis- cuss completely the by-products of smoke, and give reasons and equations for each reaction. If any time be left, give all the practical uses of soap. For the next lesson, take all the compounds of Carbon. I will excuse the laboratory to- day at ten minutes before five o ' clock, so that you may go to the ball game, provided you make up the lost time next week. And we come to the fatherly protection of Dr. Brimm. Please close the door. Mr. Mcllwain, have you your analysis of the I 19th Psalm? During a pause after a long tirade against hating personal enemies, some one acci- dentally (?) asked, How about Lincoln? Please tell me the man who intro- duced Lincoln into the discussion, I want to give him a zero. Prof. McLaughlin holds forth up in the third floor. Now I found this same dis- crepancy while dissecting my 6 mm. pig, when I was at Princeton. Will the class take the next eighty pages in Embryology for the next lecture. An- swer: No. Oh, yes! 1 forgot to announce that we will have a practical ex- amination next Monday on the last two months ' work. Here endeth the lesson.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: It is the year 1925, and ten pages in the book of life have been turned since we bade farewell to our alma mater. I, the Prophet, turn the time-stained pages of the PaC-SaC, and reflect upon the changes that time has wrought in the lives of the fifteen members of the class of ' 15. My thoughts naturally strayed to the alphabetical and physical head of the class, W. G. Anderson, who is now at the head of the class financially. Andy, after taking his major in base ball and Latin, became the drawing card of the Hodges Federal League team, until misfortune overtook him in the form of Cupid. He then abandoned base ball for dentistry, in which he perfected the famous Anderson ' s Pain- less Process of Extraction, (for extracting greenbacks from the pockets of his unlucky victims,) while he grew in favor with all his patrons by living up to his college motto, Keep your mouth shut if you have nothing to say. WILLIAM PINKNEY ANDERSON, B. S., GREENVILLE. S. C. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 150 lbs. Age 19. Of right and wrong he taught Truths as refined as ever Athens heard; And (strange to tell) he practiced what he preached. AS HE NOW IS: Entered college 1 9 I I .

AS HE WILL BE 1925 : The events in the life of the next man flash quickly before my mind, and I now review the career of W. P. Anderson. Little Andy has developed from the brilliant (?) student of Economics and Philosophy to a power in the Real Estate business, and dictates his affairs from his private office on the nth floor of the Pride of Greenville — the Anderson Building. William early fell a victim to a wide spread disease contracted during his Sophomore year. His attack proved fatal soon after he reached seniority, and he can now turn from the busy marts of trade and find a solace for his cares in his handsome residence on North Pendleton, presided over by the former Miss (?). WILLIAM CLARDY AUSTIN. A. B., CLINTON, S. C. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 168 lbs. Age 20. Whence is thy learning? Hath thy toil O ' er books consumed the midnight oil?

AS HE WILL BE 1925: The fortune of a Peerless Leader next drew my attention, and I thought of W. C. Austin. Bill was the Peerless Leader of his class for four years at P. C, and later graduated with first honor from the medical school of John Hopkins. Just five years ago he finished a course in the culture of beauty at the Parisian School of Facial Embellishment, and today his services are eagerly sought by the belles of the now flourishing metropolis of South Carolina — Clinton. His masterly knowledge of Chemistry, and his exhaustive researches in Biology have been valuable assets to his much needed services. JOHN THEODORE BALLENGER, B. S., SENECA, S. C. Height 5 ft. 8 in.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: A hero of the diamond in his college days, and one who always had the old pep, J. T. Ballenger, next comes to my mind. At present Speedy handles the pill with the same old vim, only in a new aspect, as he now hands it over the counter in the biggest pharmacy in his native State, to suffering humanity. His interest in this particular line of business was born of his devoted attendance at the Clinton Pharmacy for three years, during which time he never allowed his studies to cause his neglect of that reviving fountain. He manages his business from his office in the rear, but in turn is managed by one who seven years ago robbed him of his freedom, and who since has never lost control over the reins of government. WATSON EMMET DAVIS, A. B., SALTERS, S. C. Height 6 ft. I in. Weight 165 lbs. Age 21. As wine that with its own weight runs its best And counted much more noble than theprest; So is that poetry whose gen ' rous strain Flows without servile study, art or pain.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: Following next in succession, the life of the preacher of the class came to my mind— the life of W E. Davis. While in college Davis distinguished himself by being one of the three men who never failed on examination. He kept up this record by being a howling success as a preacher. Davis was hard put to for a co-laborer and help-meet. He early lost this savor of a flirt, but became salted again when he found one who is largely responsible for his present high position as pastor of the Fifteenth Avenue Presbyterian Church, of Lanes, S. C. He successfully digests and administers in broken doses many abstruse theological and philosophical doctrines. FRED ARTHUR FICQUETT. A. B„ LOWNDESVILLE. S. C Height 5 ft. 7 in. Weight 158 lbs.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: Finally, after relating the histories of my illustrious classmen in my reflections, it might not be amiss to tell of some of the experiences which have come to my humble station. Being the baby of the class, I was still much of a baby when 1 entered my chosen profession as teacher of a district school. This honorable position was later resigned to complete a post-graduate course in Pedagogy at Columbia University, after which it fell to my lot to become an instructor in this particular line at Lander College. The fondness acquired while in college for Pedagogy and Political Science has never forsaken me, and at present I am pre- paring a work entitled Recipe for Polishing Ivory Tops, and another on The Systematic Beneficence Through State Charities . PAUL NESBITT GRESHAM, A. B., WELLFORD, S. C. Height 6 ft. 1 in. Weight 187 lbs. Age 23. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: I have just read in the morning ' s paper of the latest success of the country ' s greatest evangelist since the days of Billy Sunday — Rev. P. N. Gresham, D. D. Gresham, alias Dunk, alias Umquam, was ever the dark horse (not black sheep) of the class, surging to the front when least expected, as he has done in the active service in his noble calling. After leaving college Umquam was a pedagog for several years, his specialties being penmanship and higher math., at which he made a scribbling success. Later during his seminary course, he became very enthusiastic over the Biblio-Centric method of teaching theology, and when he left the seminary he immediately entered upon his marked career in inducing men to become Biblio-Centric in their lives. HARRY EUGENE HICKLIN, A. B., ROCK HILL, S. C. Height 5 ft. II in. Weight 167 lbs. Age 21. ' Tis good will makes intelligence. AS HE NOW IS: Entered college 1910.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: The adjoining column of the morning sheet contained a glowing account of the passage by Congress of a Bill Prohibiting the Chewing of Tobacco in Public Places, introduced by the Hon H. E. Hicklin, the youngest man ever elected from the Fifth Congressional District of South Carolina at the time of his election a year ago. Hick fell in love with the legal profession from his careful perusal of Cicero, and passing directly from college to the law school, he tackled Black- stone harder than he ever tackled anything on the gridiron. Three years after graduation he entered politics, and by means of his wit and humor, his verbosity, self-confidence, and his excellent bluff, he soon fought his way to the top of his profession, where there is always room for those of his type. JAMES FERDINAND JACOBS, Jr., A. B.. CLINTON. S. C Height 5 ft. 7 in. Weight 148 lbs. Age 20. Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies.

Manager PaC-SaC ' 15. AS HE WILL BE 1925: My pleasant reflections on the lives of my class mates were suddenly darkened when I thought of the early fate of J. F. Jacobs. Jr. Mutt was ever a hopeless victim of a passing pretty face, and he found to his sorrow, just one month after graduation, that the ways of woman are past finding out . In consequence of this discovery he was driven to seek seclusion for several years in hurried realms of advertising, whence he emerged a wiser and a better man . But sad to say he has suffered a relapse, and being captivated by the dazzling beauty of a famous singer has recently committed matrimony . She has persuaded him to abandon advertising for the solitude of country life. ALEXANDER GEORGE KENNEDY, B. S„ BLACKSTOCK. S. C. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 125 lbs. Age 23. Be silent always, when you doubt your sense, And speak, though sure, with seeming diffidence. AS HE IS NOW: Entered college 1910. Philomathean Literary Society; President of Chester Club. AS HE WILL BE 1925: My reflections were next turned to the Sphinx of the class, A. G. Kennedy. Just one week ago I received a letter from a friend informing me that Alex, now the merchant prince of Blackstock, had recently made a donation to P. C. to the amount of ten thousand dollars (?). Alex, after his college course, prepared himself for dentistry, but abandoned this profession on account of failing health, and entered his father ' s business. He was always quiet, never brilliant, but hard working and ever on the job. These qualities have brought him such success, that in spite of the new law taxing bachelors to the extent of one-fifth of their income for the support of spinsters, he has been able to give expression to his commendable spirit of generosity. ALFRED HOYT MILLER, A. B.. MARTIN, GA. Height 6 ft. Weight 180. Age 22. What is strength without a double share Of wisdom ? Vast, unwieldy, burdensome. 1 AS HE NOW IS: Entered college 1911.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: And what has been the fate of A. H. Miller? Last night I listened to his spirited appeal pleading for others to respond to the call from the black throats of Ethiopia which early in his youth summoned him to the foreign field. Capt has recently returned from the Dark Continent, where for several years he has encountered innumerable hardships in obeying the impulse of his firm convictions. Though busily engaged at most times, he has nevertheless found time through the use of his pen to make his appeals even more effective, being the author of several pamplets on Need of Young Men in the Mission Field. His unlimited store of energy, physical and mental, has served him well. JOHN ALEXANDER NEELY, A, B., M. A.. ANDERSON. S. C. Height 5 ft. 8 in. Weight 128 lbs. Age 20. The man that hath no music in himself. Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds. Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.

Would any- one have thought it possible in so short a time to conquer as many spheres of knowledge as has J. A. Neely? While in college, Brother J. Alexander vanquished nearly all the courses to be overcome, even to the attainment of his Master ' s degree. Passing from college into the law school, he soon became master there. He then set out against the spheres of criminal and civil practice, and becoming a victor there, has now undertaken a new enterprise in recently becoming judge of the second circuit in his native State. His ability and willingness to argue to the last have stood him well in many a hard fought battle of words. OSCAR MALON NICKLES, B. S., HODGES, S. C. Height 6 ft. Weight 155 lbs. Age 22.

AS HE WILL BE 1925: Next there came to my mind the simple, but steady, career of the farmer of the class, O. M. Nickles. Nick, familiarly known as Duss , being the profound Pedagogist and Philosopher of the class, early applied his knowledge to a good advantage in the profession of rural school-master. Soon, however, Nick heard Nature ' s Call to Freedom, and responded most heartily. Today as a pro- gressive farmer he prefers the pristine quiet of his agrarian domain, and covets not the fame that accumulates around other professions . Standing upon his lofty eminence, he looks upon the bustle and confusion in the lives of his class- mates with a feeling of personal freedom peculiarly his own . JOHN FREDERICK WINTERS, B. S..

F. Winters. Even before leaving college, Fred was attracted by the rustle of the green-backs that come from the sale of insurance policies, and entered that profession. As was to be expected of anyone with Fred ' s business ability and training, he advanced rapidly, and at present is general manager of Farmers ' Safety Insurance Company of South Carolina, wherein he insures anything from a setting of eggs on up, or down. His hearty and genial disposition, his conver- sational ability, augmented by his assurance, have all been preponderatingly in his favor in the vending of insurance. ETHEL MASON DAVIDSON, B. S..

AS SHE WILL BE 1925: And again I look back to see what has been wrought in the life of the queen of the class, the Rose among the Thorns, Ethel Davidson. Who was it that predicted that Ethel would be an old maid school teacher ? Such, indeed, seemed the case until just a few months since, when she resigned her position as president of the Clinton College for Girls to become the guiding light in the life of an elderly millionaire, who was first attracted by her work as a teacher and on account of her bewitching smile, he jist couldn ' t help falling a victim to her irresistible charms. They are now on an extended honeymoon visiting the countries devastated by the late European war. The Parting of the Way. (Senior Class Poem). Converging slowly day by day Our streams of life they ever ran. As through the years from youth to man, Each on pursued his beckoning ray, That summoned him from careless play. To hope perchance he yet might meet. Those too whose like- directed feet Had climbed alone the destined way. And nearer, nearer still they drew, Till joining in harmonious flow, Our channels deep and wide did grow, As swift the winged seasons flew; While fond affections, tried and true, (That ' ll ne ' er grow cold till the desert sand) Bound each to each with a tightening band, Which day by day yet stronger grew. Then on through passing years of four, Which to all men allotted be, Who seek to claim an Arts degree, — Our courses ran: But now we go To aid the ones who ' ve gone before, — Who, too, the common race have run. And honors lost, and honors won, — To lighten care and banish woe. And parted now our courses are. No more in parallel to run. But each as first it was begun. Alone must wander still afar, Led onward by its guiding star, Till we come to the end of a perfect day, When none sad Parting of the Way Our perfect happiness shall mar. Character Sketches of the Class of ' 15. Pictorially Illustrated. Mr. Anderson, as you will see from his record, is an accomplished athlete. He has performed as slab artist to a very marked degree of credit. In fact, he early gained the hard-earned reputation of being able to put ' em in a quart cup, and has often held the best teams in the State Association to as few hits as you can count on the fingers of one hand. His talent along this line would of itself be sufficient to endear Big Andy to the hearts of his fellow students and the Clinton folk. His musical bent is decided, and he has a mind as large and as strong as his giant body. He is usually calm and dignified, almost absent minded. Asa student he has learned the art of slow haste, but cer- tain and rapid progress. Mr. Anderson has in the past been very fond of Hicks ' Almanac, but at the present his time seems to be largely engrossed by a Riddle Book. Westminister High School has given us a man of whom we are justly proud. The Greatest Truths are the simplest, and so are the greatest men. Mr. Anderson is a great man. He is quiet and thoughtful, precise and regu- lar in his habits, whether of play or of work. If all the world is a stage and the men and women in it are its act- ors, Mr. Anderson can be counted upon to carry out his part creditably. In none of his studies has he shown him- self precocious to the expense of any other, but has pur- sued the even tenor of his way through the maze of sub- jects into which he delights to wander, and from which he is emerging, exercised and developed to the pink of perfection. We cannot help but be drawn to a person- ality so amiable, lovable, genial and magnetic. Bill Austin is perhaps the least seen, but best known member of the class. Though not a recluse to the detri- ment of his own health, and possessing no native love of private society, his devotion to his books prevents any con- spicuousness of his chubby person. Bill has always been found to be a splendid conversationalist, and to be quite a Dickens in his keen sense of humor. He can talk on anything, and knows something about everything. In fact, so giant is his memory, that Macaulay ' s is not in the least comparable. Few courses in the curriculum have escaped his grasping for knowledge, and in all he has been the unapproachable master. Bill does not have a very vivid imagination only in one particular: He imagines himself to be quite a sport and heart smasher, and to have a very cemetery of broken hearts. But of late he has taken on a Moore serious vein, and put an end to his Finney- ky notions. Mr. John T. Ballenger of Seneca, S. C, sport, orator, athlete, and lastly a student. Ballenger ' s motto is Pleas- ure before duty, but always room for duty. He prepared at Davidson for his work at our institution and he can tell you more nearly how it ' s done at Davidson than at P. C. He early acquired the nickname, Speedy — how and why we know not. Sojne claim that the faculty presented him with the title in recognition of his ability to prepare his studies so perfectly in so brief a time. Others assert that he received the handle from the speedy way in which he has played third base on the P. C. Base Ball Team. Still others laughingly assert that he was given the name in a spirit of mockery. Speedy is very amiable and com- panionable, animated, given to the use of forcible slang. His greatest obsession is the movies. Of the movies he is very partial to serials, exceptionably so to Pauline. The only girl of the Class of ' 15. But what the class lacks in number of co-eds is more than compensated by the rich quality of its one member. Miss Davidson is unassuming, almost timid. Whether it is real or assumed we know not, but she is more attractive for her shy re- serve. She is sincere and true as a friend. As a student, she is conscientious and punctilious in the performance of her duties. Her teaching abilitv was early recognized by the professor of Pedagogy and by one of the Seniors, who in teaching Senior Ped had called on her for the recita- tion of the entire lesson. When she was asked to teach the class, she rigorously questioned said Senior, much to his chagrin and ignorance. Beware ! The female of the species is more deadly than the male. She has a charm- ing personality, winning ways, and it may be truthfully said that her attitude toward all is lovely. Wherein lies future greatness? In Mr. Watson Emmet Davis. You have often heard the expression, He was a colossal genius. We bid you look on Davis ' picture and be assured that he is a colossal genius. Davis has a strong tendency to philosophy and can discuss fluently, to j our ignorance and amazement, the New Realism. He is a philosopher in other fields, love for instance, and often ex- presses his sentiments in the dearest, sublimest, most ab- struse poetry. In fact, he sometimes out-Brownings Browning. Although Davis entered college as a Sopho- more, thus taking the first two years ' work in one, he has from the first taken a very high stand in his classes. His marked forensic ability is shown by the numerous in- stances in which he has been called upon to represent his society in public, in declamation, oration and debate. Da- vis lias given us a very high opinion of Salters. We have in F2A an entirely new compound. A good analysist will find it a very interesting, though difficult field. Hard to isolate, very rare, extremely delicate and volatile, this compound being donated by the Presbyterian College to the world at large, is the most valuable yet dis- covered. Figures aside, Mr. Ficquett is himself quite a scientist, being assistant in Chemistry to Prof. Cartledge. He is reported to have been found just after first term ex- amination, in qualitative analysis, coatless and hatless, try- ing to crawl into a test tube containing Nitric Acid. He explained by saying that, since he had creditably finished so difficult an examination, he was an iron man and wanted to get into solution and be precipitated as the more beautiful hydroxide. Ficquett is quiet — almost self- centered to those who do not know him intimately. He is frank, almost too much so for his own good. Look upon his face and beho!d the massive brow and strong countenance. Become acquainted with him and observe an intellect just as massive, a mind just as out- standing, with qualities of strength and virility. There is so much to be said to do Mr. Gresham justice that we hardly know just where to begin to describe such an ex- ceptional personage. But first of all he is a debater. Argue should be his middle name. He has ever been noted here for his marked forensic ability. Be assured that when he has finished with a question he will have determined whether it is practicable, expedient and right. He has learned the art of study, and to know the qualities of the efficient student, you have only to study him. He seems to have taken as his motto, avoid the appearance of all sciences. And he might, for he shows a decided bent toward the humanities. But his chief tal- ent and high calling are oratory and preaching the gospel. Mr. Hicklin made his advent at P. C. one year before the remainder of the class, this being his fifth year here. You would expect just such stick-ative-ness by noting his remarkable profile, and especially squarely set jaw, which is that of a born fighter. Hick has laughed and rocked along until he has found himself in the Senior Class. He is garrulous and verbose, and given to use lengthy words and technical phrases. Indeed, if words are vehicles of thought. Hick likes to put his thought in the most elegant palace cars. He does this with the ease and rapidity which is at once the source of admiration and envy on the part of his fellow students. His favorite subject of disser- tation is, A Man ' s Capital, and since he is an all around capital man, he can discuss this theme fluently. Hick is quite a versatile speaker. ■■- 1 : 3f ' Here we have Jake, in whose success we are all in- terested. In fact Mutt, as he is sometimes dubbed, is the most popular student of the class of 15. This is traceable in part to his well rounded physique, handsome face, dark hair, bright eyes, and graceful bearing. But the qualities which by far endear him to his friends, are his good nature, his Ame able manner, his ever serene and cheerful disposition, his tact and forethought. His motto, Be Busy, is carried into effect with marked success. He busies himself in football and baseball, in managing the ads for the PaC-SaC, in tailoring clothes to your order and in taking orders for sporting goods. His latest and most original venture was the organization and combination of The Southern Truck Nursery Company, of which he was the sole founder, promoter and underwriter. Yet in all of his industry, he shows a surprising degree of mod- esty and self-effacement. Alexander Kennedy is like the great character of history in that he is just as successful in his undertakings. He is different in that there is much less pomp, ostentation, for- mality and heraldry about his work. But his conquests are just as real, his battles just as stubborn, and his victories are just as pronounced. There is an air of quiet combativeness about him that many who do not know him well, fail to note. What the majority of the class does, Alex doesn ' t. He makes up for his class- mates garrulity by his discreet silence. Why his silence, we do not know, other than it may give to him more of the distinctively individual air which he already possesses. Alex has declared his intentions of practicing dentistry, but we forewarn him that he will never make a success as a dental surgeon, for we cannot conceive of Alex Kennedy, above all men, ever hurting anyone ' s feelings. This is Miller, of football, basket ball and baseball fame. Among his studies he is the Miller intellectual and keen. In social life he is Miller, polished and popular. In popu lar language, Miller was a find as an athlete. He never took an active part in college sports until 1913, but since that time has grabbed off block Ps with monotonous regularity, not only in football, but in all the other branches of athletics. But we could not expect him to be other than a good athlete when we remember his splendid com- mand of slang. The way he slings trick-chin-chatter and phoney talk would cause Billy Sunday to turn green with envy. Capt. is a Georgia Cracker, but we claim him as a South Carolina, Presbyterian College product. He has always been a good historian, and is busily engaged just now on some original work on The Norman Con- quest. Here is another Alexander in the Class ' 15. Slender, black haired, black eyed, handsome (?), he a living de- scription of the hero in one of the best sellers. He is an all around college man. and is a good example in many re- spects for the lower classmen. We say in many respects, for there are one or two qualities in Neely which are not objectionable in him, but which would not be admirable in others. One of these is his lack of promptness. He goes on the theory that punctiliousness is, as Emerson said of consistency, the hobgoblin of a little mind . Alex, is the foremost musician in College. He can instruct as well as perform upon several instruments. The cause of his inspiration, and continued play is found in the statement that music is the food of love. His latest compositions are To a Co-ed and Dear Louise, With Variations . If the Class of ' 15 were so disposed as to be willing to select the one of their number who possessed the highest qualities of a real man, there is no doubt that unanimously their choice would center upon O. M. Nickles. This was shown by their electing him to be their leader for this year. Nick has the qualities to fit him for almost any career. He has all the essential attributes of a good teacher, the oratory and ability in debating to make a suc- cessful lawyer, the consecration to make a minister of note, and the sturdiness to become a farmer, claiming a true love of his profession. It is the sincere hope of his class that he in returning to the country domain will not let such talents as he is now endowed with lie dormant, but will early realize his usefulness to his state, and in conjunction with his noble calling, may turn to account his abilities in other fields of activity. Fred Winters has the cheeriest, loud laugh in the Col- lege — long ago the belt for the champion laugher of the Senior Class was awarded to him. His natural ability for commanding was demonstrated in his successful manage- ment of the last season ' s football team, and his success as dicipHnarian is doubly assured by the ample training he has acquired in the controlling of rats for the last three years. His pompadour is at once the pride and ideal of the College. With the aid of loud socks and polka-dot ties he has become the ideal lady killer. He learned to jower so well with the faculty that Prof. Martin passed him on Math, and ever since the students have called him Jowers. Beside such faults as these, he is a perfect gen- tleman. His heart is as big as his whole body, and he has never been called a dwarf. The Game of Four Quarters. Early one September Morn, during the year nineteen hundred and eleven, there appeared at the city depot of Clinton, S. C, a considerable number of wanderers, who, from the expression on each strange face, might well be called immigrants. These new-comers, after moping about the streets and looking as if their doom had already been sealed, and thinking that the worst was yet to come, were accosted by some of the old teamsters, who mustered the wanderers before him who afterwards was to be known as Big Dick, of Princeton and John Hopkins gridiron fame, who was to act the part of referee in the long struggle of four quarters which these wanderers were now ready to begin. He received them kindly, and after cautioning them concerning any misdemeanor that they were likely to commit, such as demolishing the walls and expectorating on the floors of the New Dormitory, telling them the meaning of the Hash- Hammer, relating the history of Judd Refectory, coupled with the details of several other important establishments about the resort, and relating several of his experiences while in Baltimore, assigned them their positions for the first quarter, and took his departure. But, behold ! no sooner had he done so than they were visited by the old leaguers who knocked, and having entered, there was a clean sweeping and smashing of rats . Here, too, they were made known to those two, commonly called Alex and Hick, who for some reason, I dare not say here, had reported the preceding season and had been unable to finish the first quarter. Whatever their reason, they were there and ready to begin that quarter over again. The next important practice came, when that event known as the Rat Reception arrived. On this occasion, each of the would-be stars was allotted an attachment for his arm and having arrived at the reception, was made acquainted with a number of damsels who were fair to look upon, and two of whom — the same being Ethel and Dorcas— were destined to be color-bearers in their antici- pated gridiron career. This was only the preliminary practice, however, but when the fair sex had been dismissed, the real skirmish began. Here the records made by those ghost-like figures in returning to their respective positions were unprecedented in the history of the college The next practice was even more eventful, since this was to be the final try- out. This was accomplished by concealing the countenances of these same youths behind a coating of lamp-black, and after a jolly serenade, the signal of scatter rats was given. Thereupon some ran, some flew, while those who failed to get a good start suffered many agonies during the peculiar process known as the application of oil of horse-hide, so administered as to prevent any likeli- hood of having their cuticles suffer an abrasion during the game. Thus ended the practice. Following this, nothing of greater interest than the finals took place. The game had gone well so far, but just here, their trouble began in earnest. Here they encountered many trials, for much to their sorrow, they learned that some may pass and some may fall bu t some flunk on forever . There was much cramming and jamming, but in the midst of it all, the whistle was blown and notice was given that the first quarter was over. After a short intermission, there arose in all the longing to get into the struggle again. But though there was joy upon returning there was sadness too, for out of the thirty-seven who enlisted for the first quarter there were but twenty-three able to return in the second. And to add to their chagrin, they learned that the faculty team had been further augmented by the appearance of one Young of vaulting fame, and one Fiddle-Sticks who had made him- self famous by asserting that if the planets are visible, they may be seen . However, the vacancies left by some of the departed were filled by Neely, Ballenger and Davis, who brought the general efficiency to a higher standard, and were afterwards to make themselves famous in music, baseball and poetry, respectively. So with the fresh material, the second quarter was begun and ended without further remarkable events. Then it was that the whistle was blown the second time and the proclamation was sent abroad that the battle was half won. At the beginning of the next quarter there was a very different feeling from what had been before. There was much greater confidence, for all felt better equipped to meet the last half. The worst part of the game had past and the remaining distance to the final goal was viewed as easier to attain. The Great Divide had been crossed, (that is from Soph, to Junior), and all went well, the game going on smoothly until the time was called for another intermission which marked the end of the third quarter. At the beginning of the last quarter, only fifteen of our number were present. Among the absent ones, the loss of Smiling Dorcas was felt most keenly, for her pleasantness and good cheer had been great assets to the team. But it seemed that through her ardent admiration for the sport of the gridiron, her attention was directed to more inspiring things through the instrumentality of him who at center is mighty with the pass. By this time most of the regulars had their dips cinched. But lo ! Andy fumbled, Hick stumbled, and both suffered a severe penalty at the most critical time of the game. However, by their personal vigor, a famous end-run by Old Friend Bothwell, and a spectacu- lar punt by A. Venerable, they, too, managed to reach the goal. Then in intense excitement they all cracked their heels together and shouted Educated by Joe . The last two to reach the goal proved themselves worthy examples for the rest of the team, for in fighting an up-hill fight, they had exhibited the unweak- ening determination and indomitable courage which are not to be found in those of a weak heart. As a final word, let it be said that though our fight may have seemed long and severe at times, be it remembered by each of us it is only the preliminary to the greater battle of life. We have fought this battle shoulder to shoulder, and each of us has reached the goal. We turn now to fight alone a greater battle, the quarters of which for some cannot be compassed in time by twelve brief months, and we press forward to a higher goal in turning our energy and equipment to the realization of the utmost that life can give, and the largest return in things that are and not things that seem.

Now through some source, as you know of course, Mr. Wilson heard of the strife, And made a move perhaps to prove, His skill in the saving of life. At his consent, the navy went. And circled around the bay; When Huerta was asked to perform his task. He had some words to say. Now the soldiers swore to sleep no more ' Till they had spread the news; And on one day in the month of May, They captured Vera Cruz. And o ' er its bay, in an excellent way, The stars and stripes did wave; We demand respect, and that none reject, The flag that forever can save. —J. H. P., ' 16. The Junior Campaigns. This illustrious class of Juniors started out in the fall of 1912 with a stand- ing army of forty-eight privates, nurses, cooks, etc. All were determined that we were going to conquer that enemy, Mental Inertia. We started out on our first campaign under the generalship of J. Herbert Powell. The first time that the enemy came within shooting distance was at the Battle of Fresh Math. This was a venerable (memorable) skirmish, since a great many of our army were wounded or deserted from the field of battle (Math Room). After a few months in which to recuperate, a few of us tried to overcome this enemy, Math; but only a few of us were able to shoot him, while the rest were overthrown. There is one member of our class who has the enviable reputation of being shot nine times during this campaign. As soon as this conflict is over — and we ex- pect to close it in a little over a year — we want to reward this private for his heroism. Our first year ' s campaign suffered the loss of twenty men and wo- men — some going to other stations for service and others deserting to the role of private life. During the summer of 1913, our army took a leave of absence of about three months, all except our faithful general, who stuck to his post through thick and thin trying to get new recruits. Twenty-eight of us reported for act- ive duty for the second year ' s campaign. Our general had been able to recruit four new men. One Woody was made the general-in-chief of the forces for the second year. During this year there were no decisive battles. The enemy stayed at a distance and those who were wounded were shot from ambush. We all took another leave of absence in the summer of 1914 for a much needed rest. After nine months of active service, General Powell again remained to do recruiting duty. In the Fall of 1914, twenty-four of our faithful band of thirty-two came back. We found that one more private and one more nurse had enlisted. R. L. Coe was elected general for this year, but soon retired to private life. So M. E. Carmichael was appointed in his stead. We have had only two important battles thus far during this year ' s campaign, the Battle of Economics and the Second Battle of Math. The dead and wounded in the first battle were much more numerous than in the second. Some of us were able to overcome this defeat at the Battle of Economics, and J am sure all of us will come off victori- ous. As I have said, a number of our privates were very severely wounded at the second Battle of Math, but this battle has been of such recent date that our men have not yet recovered enough to conquer this enemy. We want to close this conflict with next year ' s campaign if possible, but our class has fallen so deeply in debt during this War of Mental Inertia that we shall not be able to pension anyone. Of course, it is hoped that everyone will get a certificate for valor and determination. A Sonnet to Mother. What must I say when first I leave you, mother ? Thou art more dear to me than all the earth; The tempest often keeps me from my brother, And wicked men entice me from your hearth; Sometimes too hard it seems to reach the light. And often is my weary path made long; I see corruption in the darkest night. And never comes to me a joyful song. But thy protecting hand shall never fail To guide me from a sinner ' s gloomy goal; Nor shall they draw me from the altar rail. When 1 entrust to thee my thirsting soul. Live then, dear mother, many a coming year. Live on and give to me a mother ' s care, — J. H. P. ' 16. 5opbs ' 17 Miss Montgomery : Sponsor. Motto President Sec. and Treas. C. H. Bennett M. G.

The scene was the Presbyterian College of South Carolina; the charac- ters a class of Freshman, far above the average. We were forty-seven in number; the largest class that had ever come to old P. C. We do not claim for ourselves the distinction of having been the wisest, the most talented, nor the greenest of all preceding classes; but we do claim to have been a class of average intellec- tual ability, willingness to work, and much grit. Of course, we had our high school diplomas, and felt that we were of just a little more importance than we really were, but the Sophomores soon taught us the folly of such an impression. Even though we developed a love for our new life, we were eager to go home at Christmas. However, we were as eager to return after the holidays were over, and took up our work with renewed determination. We showed our intellec- tual abilities by the way we handled Math, and Latin. Although the stage was rough and the part of each character a difficult one, the falling of the curtain in June mark the close of a very successful act. After a short vacation of three months, the curtain was raised for the second act. The number of characters was greatly reduced, but the quality of those who were left made up for the lack in quantity. It was now our privilege to rule the Freshman with an iron hand, but we only took the trouble to show them the way in which they should go. We again showed our intellectual ability by the way in which we mastered Soph. Math, and Soph. Latin, and our athletic abilities by our glorious victory of 26 to 16 over the Freshman in basket-ball. So taking everything into consideration, it has been a very successful act, thus far. We now stand waiting for the curtain to fall, which will mark the end of the second act. We looked forward with the greatest pleasure to the time when we shall be called upper classmen , and it is our desire to make ourselves worthy of that distinction. Historian. ' 18 Motto: Labc J. M.

The Uncompleted Race. Bang! went the starter ' s gun and forty inexperienced, but happy Freshmen flitted off on the first lap of the race-course. The time was September 1 6th., 1914, and the race then begun, was destined not to be completed until the month of June 1918. Such a terrible race this was to be! No wonder their hearts grew faint with the thought of its length. The race track was only a mile long, but such a mile ! Nine long months must be consumed in passing over the first quarter. Now the race has passed almost over the first quarter. Some grew over- zealous at the start and have already dropped out, without even making the first trip around the course. There are still thirty-three, however, who are holding on, most of whom will continue to ho ld on even through the last circuit. The rough and rocky part of the course, generally known as Ratdom, the slippery hills of First and Second Term Exams, have all been passed in safety, and now the only obstacle yet to be overcome in the first circuit, is the treacherous hill of Third Term Exams. And it might be inquired, wherefore was this race begun? It happened that away back in the dust-beridden past, almost before the birth of our memories, there was born an aspiration. And it happened, moreover, that this aspiration came to about forty at the same time and was only to find its realization when these forty had packed their trunks, kissed their forty mothers good-bye, turned their backs upon their paternal domiciles, and begun this four year ' s race at old P. C. But now that the novelty of the initiation has somewhat worn away, let not the remainder of our number grow weary, but turn our footsteps, fleet and strong, towards the higher mark to be achieved in the race yet to be — the race of real life.

A woman ' s Heart is a savings bank, Where the love you deposit lies, Gathering interest day by day From the sunshine of the skies. There isn ' t a safer place, my lad, To bury the treasure you ' d keep Than down in the beautiful vaults of dream Where the tenderest blossoms sleep. A woman ' s heart is the place to hide Whatever you ' d treasure best; For she ' d give it back as the years go by In a love that ' s more than rest. A woman ' s heart is a storage vault. Where nothing breaks in to steal, Except the honor you fail to pay And the love you forget to feel. A love you have placed there once remains, And you may forget, but she Will give it back, if you want it so. And smile as she hands the key. Smile, but never forget, my lad. That a smile is the saddest thing When it ' s over the ashes of something dead, And the heart is a broken wing. A woman ' s heart is a fortress strong. Where your foes may never come, With prancing steeds and the gleaming sword And the rat-tat of the drum. For that which you treasure she will defend. And loud as the guns may roll. She ' ll stand in the breach till the very end — And then she will fight with her soul. A woman ' s heart, — I would rather trust My all unto that, I know, For love in the keeping of such a place Will grow as the blossoms grow. — Selected. Student Council. A. H. Miller J. F.

That night I wasted time so precious, On this that 1 love not, 1 scratched my head and wished to gracious This task had been forgot. 1 tried to tell a tale of fighting. Or how I loved my girl; I tried, 1 failed, 1 kept on writing, Until my head would whirl. The job was more than I could hold, 1 think you will agree; My thoughts in verse will not be told If .they be told by me.

E. Davis - Chairman Membership Committee The Y. M. C. A. The purposes and mission of the Y. M. C. A. are generally known, and we can here offer only a resume of the work accomplished during the closing school year. What has the Y. M. C. A. accomplished during the year ' 15 ? We have instituted a new system in conducting the Y. M. C. A. this year, and have found it to work well. Every man is considered an active member, since the faculty require that every man pay the membership fee. This plan has been a success, for the reason that every one can attend and feel that he has some part in the services. Such has been proved this year by the fact that the attendance has been larger than ever before, we have had better singing, and the students seem to be benefitted by attending the meetings. Another plan has been employed to a greater extent this year than ever before, and that is, we have had more of the addresses at the regular meetings on Sunday afternoons, delivered by the students themselves. These speakers usually know the needs of their fellow-students better than any one else can, and in their addresses they are enabled to reach those who need their encourage- ment. Our meetings have been successful in that they have instilled into those who attend nobler thoughts, higher aspirations, and better ideals of campus life. The Morning Watch service, held just before breakfast each morning, takes the place of the family altar, and prepares those who take part for the duties of the day by first coming to God in prayer. Much good we believe has been accomplished by these services. The Mission Study classes were very instruc- tive, and aimed to encourage both mission education and mission support. Our text-book for the year was entitled Mexico Today . As to the financial condition of the Y. M. C. A., we find that in requiring every man to become a member we have had sufficient funds to enable us to conduct the association in a business-like way, a thing seemingly impossible pre- vious to this year. Five men were sent to the Students ' Conference, held at Spartanburg during the month of October, and we expect to have more than one man at the Blue Ridge Conference in June. We feel that the influence of the Y. M. C. A. this year is going to be lasting. Our men are almost all trained for religious work while here so that when they enter upon active life, they are prepared for the work of the church. J. A. Neely William Brimm H. K. Neely - M. S.

Along with her rapid growth in other phases, the Presbyterian College of South Carolina is making adequate progress in Athletics. She deserves con- gratulations for her excellent success, especially during this session ' I 4- ' 15. This year seems to have brought with it a decided revolution in this entire depart- ment of her activities. A new attitude has been taken by both the student body and the authorities of the College towards athletics. Physical develop- ment, skilled perfection, recreative exercise — and thus naturally greater mental efficiency — plus friendly rivalry and acquaintance with other colleges, are some of the attainments sought for, as well as some of the benefits reaped by P. C. ' s Athletics this session. This year ' s record, previously unequaled, has been a factor in stimulating a new interest and a new spirit which has elevated ath- letics to a plane superior to any ever before reached in the history of the col- lege. Some branch of athletics has been in season during the entire year. Even before college opened last September, contestants were on the gridiron training to win battles in football. Though just the second year of inter-collegiate foot- ball for P. C, the season has been a brilliant success and a source of satisfaction to both the College and its supporters. Her success is shown by the fact that the total number of points scored by the Garnet and Blue eleven was one hun- dred and ninety, while the total score of opponents was only fifteen points (two touch-downs, one goal, and one safety). This remarkable success was overwhelmingly due to the skilled direction and tutorship of Coach Theller. Mr. Theller strove to have no stars, but to have his team work as a unit, and as a consequence, in spite of the raw mate- rial, produced one of the best teams in this Association. By his untiring efforts he produced one of the best, if not the best forward-pass machines in the State. At no time was his coaching ability better exhibited, than in the Furman game, when his team pulled down twenty-two forward passes of thirty attempts — a record which has been equalled by no other team in the State— and when twice his team recovered the ball by holding the opposing team for four suc- cessive downs within one yard of the goal. Capt. Miller made an excellent leader this year and leaves college with a fine record for two years as fullback. Miller and Hicklin are the only Seniors on the team, but their presence from the eleven will be missed next year. J. W. C. Bell of Arkansas is captain for next year. Bell has had an excellent record, having played in every game for two years without being out of a single game for a single minute. Tennis this year has also been a marked success. The Garnet and Blue team holds State championship in singles, the trophy cup having been won by Reed in the State intercollegiate tournament held at Columbia. Reed is a So- phomore and has ability to hold up P. C. ' s record in tennis. The team also made a creditable showing in doubles. Basket ball, though not as successful as football or tennis, was far more successful this year than ever hefore. In spite of training on out-of-doors court and not geting a sufficient amount of practice because of rainy weather, the team showed excellent ability, and was a satisfaction to all of its supporters, Although we won only half of the games played, we had a strong team, and one that deserved the hearty support and spirit shown by the student body. Baseball, the last in in order of the various phases of athletics, has hardly begun; therefore we can only anticipate and expect, judging from the material we have, and the walk-over by a score of six to two against Newberry, that suc- cess in this department will be even greater than in others. Considerable interest has been taken in Class games this year. The Senior- Junior football game in which the Seniors put it over the Juniors by a score of thirty-three to zero, aroused more interest than any one of the other class games. gm Spring Fancies. Did he write, the poet primeval. With palaeolithic pen In icthyosaurian distichs Of men and the world of men? Or did his cacophonous larynx Archaean legend rehearse — Some antediluvian epic In pterodactyllic verse? Did Aurora — I mean borealis Serve him for a lamp at night? Did the moths (mammoth and behemoth) Get singed in that Arctic light ? Was some megatherian maiden The star of his hopeless path ? Was he bounced by a sire Jurassic With true dinosaurian wrath ? Those old prehistorical lyrics Must have been prehysteric as well — Gone their strophe and wild antistrophe, Their tomcatastrophical yell! — Selected. The Man in the Peanut Shell Some years ago, there lived near Greer, South Carolina, Jim Dukes, his wife, and three children. Soon after his marriage, Mr. Dukes bought a very productive farm in an undeveloped community. Here they built a neat little cottage, and through thrift and industry in peanut growing, they managed to lay aside a sum each year to finish paying off the mortgage on the place. One bright spring day, Mr. Dukes hitched old Maud to the wagon and drove to the Swansy to finish planting his pea-nuts. As usual he kissed his wife good- bye, and with a merry heart added, I ' ll not be back for dinner, but will wait until about one o ' clock when I get through planting . Hardly had he started plowing when some one suddenly emerged from the near-by thicket. The stranger was seven feet tall, wore a long drooped black mustache, had a long hook-billed nose, sharp black eyes and a countenance of no good omen. Good morning, Mr. Dukes, said the strange man, with a sickly smile, Mighty fine day to be planting pea-nuts . Yes sir , replied Mr. Dukes. I am very anxious to finish planting — just have this field to plant. I want to get through by dinner, or a little later; so 1 must keep stirring . Mr. Dukes saw at once that the stranger was a scoundrel a nd was eager to get away from him. Wait a minute , said the stranger; I am a scientist, and this is an ideal place here in the ' back woods ' to carry on my investigation and experiments. Therefore 1 wish to make you a fancy bid on this farm. I am very sorry to disappoint you, but this place means much to us. Wife and I have lived here ever since the daywe were married. We are well satisfied with it, and therefore, we do not care to part with it. But I will give you your price in cash. 1 must have the farm. What will you take? Why we wouldn ' t take anything for it, said Mr. Dukes, and began plowing. Hold on , said the strange man in a threatening voice. I ' ll give you just ten minutes to sell the farm . Mr. Dukes started to run, but his feet seemed chained to the spot. One, two, three minutes! What will you take? said the strange man. O, I won ' t sell it . Very well, then. Four, five, six, seven, eight — say, 1 will give you a last chance. Will you sell it? Never, said Mr. Dukes. Nine, ten , said the strange man, and removed from his vest pocket a small vial, seized Mr. Dukes by the arm, and poured a stream of oil all over him. Mr. Dukes felt a stinging sensation, and made vehement efforts to break away, but all were in vain. Slowly, but steadily, he became smaller and smaller. You can have the place , said Mr. Dukes, trembling exceedingly. Too late now , replied the strange man. For an hour Mr. Dukes begged the stranger to take the place at any price, but he only shook his head. Smaller and smaller Mr. Dukes became until he was only two feet in height. With tears streaming down his cheeks he cried out, Oh, please restore me to my normal size and 1 ' will give you the place. For the sake of my wife and little children help me . But the strange man with a demonical smile walked away and sat down. Mr. Dukes kept on diminishing in size until now he was only one foot high — now nine inches — now six inches — and the strange man picked him up and held him out on his hand. Mr. Dukes now made a most touching appeal to the strange man for mercy, but his heart was of stone. Now Mr. Dukes was only four inches and steadily decreasing in size — now three inches — now two inches — now the strange man pours a different solution of oil on him and immediately he ceased to wither away, at just one and three-fourths inches. The strange man now walked over to the basket of peanuts and selected the largest one, removed the kernel, placed Mr. Dukes in the empty shell, care- fully sealed it, and buried the refilled shell, folded Mr. Dukes ' clothes and laid them under a tree by the side of the lake, and walked back into the great forest saying to himself, Why it works as well on men as it does on dogs . We must leave our friend now for a season, and follow the fortunes of his wife. Late that afternoon, she gave the alarm and for three days search was diligently made for Mr. Dukes, who so mysteriously disappeared. His clothes were found folded where the strange man had placed them, and old Maud was found tied to a tree not far away. Robbed of her provider, the farm mortgaged, what was she to do? Her oldest boy, James, was only ten years of age, her daughter Mary eight and Roy was six. Fortunately she was a good seamstress, and through the kindness of her few neighbors, managed to eke out a scanty living. Her neighbors kindly worked her farm once or twice, and finally she managed to get the peanut crop harvested Owing to long drought and poor cultivation the farm yielded only half a crop. The peanuts were sold in a lump to J. R. Green, of Spartanburg. Mrs. Dukes, after paying all her current expences for the year, had fifty dollars left, just enouge to pay the interest on the mortgage. Two days after settling her accounts, there dashed up to the door of Mrs. Dukes, two strangers. A tall man sprang from the buggy, twisted his long black mustache, and knocked at the door. Mrs. Dukes came to the door and greeted the man whom we have already met as the Strange Man. Madam, a re you able to pay off the mortgage on your farm? Wha-what? stammered out Mrs. Dukes. I say, are you able to settle the mortgage ? Mr. Jones, my attorney, will tes- tify that I have legally purchased the mortgage that Mr. Key had on your farm and 1 have come for a settlement . Mrs. Dukes then told him of all her troubles, and begged him not to fore- close the mortgage. But the strange man replied, You have confessed that you are unable to settle the mortgage. This, now, is my place. I will give you just three weeks in which to get out of this house . Mrs. Dukes hitched old Maud to the carriage, and drove over to the place of Samuel Foster, her nearest neighbor. He told her there was an old house on his plantation unoccupied, and that she might have it free of rent, and added that wild strawberries and blackberries grew in abundance around it, that it had a very fertile garden of two or three acres, which had been used for truck farm- ing, but owing to its out-of-the-way location, it had been abandoned. Here Mrs. Dukes moved, and began with grim determination to fight the wolf from her door. In the meantime, Mr. Dukes was having quite an experience in the peanut shell. He soon found out that he had plenty of air, and that he did not suffer either from hunger, thirst, or cold. From a physical standpoint he was perfectly comfortable. His only care now was his wife and children. He knew that they could expect no mercy at the hands of the strange man. Buried as he was under the earth, he could hear the birds singing, people laughing and talking as they gathered the crop, but above all things, his greatest pleasure was the sweet harmonious music that greeted his waiting ears every time it rained. By and by, the peanuts were harvested and he, with the peanuts, was bagged and shipped to Spartanburg. It was his good luck to be carried with a peck of peanuts to the residence of Mr. Paul P. Dean who lived on Converse Street. Mr. Dean was entertaining several Converse girls, and had invited relatives and near friends to a big turkey-dinner. After dinner was over, a basket of peanuts was brought in, and the servant poured them in a large dish. To their utter astonishment one big peanut kept rolling over and over. Mr. Dean reached over and picked up the peanut and placed it on the table. Mr. Dukes kept jumping and jumping, and with his little voice shouted, Let me out, let me out! Excitement ran exceedingly high, and with trembling fingers Mr. Dean opened the peanut. Out jumped Mr. Dukes clapping his little hands and shouting for joy. Two of the ladies fainted outright. After all had recovered from the shock, Mr. Dean picked up the little man and listened with amazement to his story. Then he took steps to care for his little jewel , by placing him under a glass in a warm cotton bed, having first of all fed him with milk and bread. News of the little man spread with great rapidity. Papers came out in great flashing headlines telling of the little man who was only one and three-fourths inches in height. People came in great multitudes to see him. Mr. Dean saw that he had a fortune wrapped up in that little mite of humanity. He placed notices of the little man in all of the papers, and exhibited him at the Harris Theatre three hours in the morning, three in the afternoon and three at night. At first he charged fifty cents admission, then one dollar, but still the people came on, and finally he charged two dollars. During the first two weeks, Mr. Dean received ten thousand dollars from those who wished to see The World ' s ' Wonder . After exhibiting Mr. Dukes in all the big cities of the country, and having made an enormous fortune, he brought the little fellow back to Spartan- burg. Mr Dean and his family carried Mr. Dukes to Chick Springs to spend the day, and behold ! Mary Dukes, Mr. Dukes only daughter, who was nine years old, was visiting a friend who lived just above the spring. Mary and several other children were playing at the spring, when Mr. Dean drove up in his big white car. Everyone, of course, crowded around to see The World ' s Wonder, and among them was Mary Dukes. As Mary came near him, Mr. Dukes recog- nized her, held out his little hands, bowed, knelt and shouted, trying to make her recognize him. Attracted by his behavior, Mr. Dean picked the little fellow up, held him to his ear, and behold! the little man said that Mary was his daughter. Mr. Dean carried Mr. Dukes and Mary over to the old Foster place where Mrs. Dukes at once recogonized her husband. How happy the Dukes family were! all together again! it was almost too good to be true. Mr. Dukes told his wife how he had made a fortune for Mr. Dean, and sug- gested that she carry him and exhibit him in the towns where he had not been. This Mrs. Dukes did, and in a very short time, she had accumulated enough money to live comfortably all the rest of their days. However, one thing greatly troubled them, and that was Mr. Dukes ' size. While passing the old Dukes place, Mr. Foster noticed buzzards all over the house. Suspecting something unusual within, he went to the door, and there on the floor lay the strange man and a large negro, both dead. No one claimed the farm left vacant by the strange man, and the Dukes family made preparations to return to their old home. While they were cleaning the house Mrs. Dukes found a bottle of fluid with the direction to mix with one part of carbolic acid one part of sweet milk, and one part of XY2, to be used for increasing the size of animals, whether man or beast. She at once applied the solution to her husband, and Mr. Dukes began to grow with great rapidity. That night he was three feet high — the next morn- ing seven — by noon nine feet — within three days he had grown so large he could not enter the house, and in a month ' s time, his head was out of sight, and his voice like the rumbling of mighty thunder. Mr. Dukes had always been a student of astromony, and his long desire was fulfilled. He could study the movement of the spheres by natural observation. Finally Mrs. Dukes found another solution containing one part of vinegar, one part of wood alcohol, and one part of XY2. This solution would diminish the size of man and beast, or when applied simultaniously, with solution of X2 to Y, with acid and sweet milk, each solution would counteract the other and the man or beast would remain unaffected. With these formulas in mind, Mrs. Dukes first applied the diminishing oil to her husband. Slowly but steadily he decreased in height until he was his natural size, five feet, ten inches. Then Mrs. Dukes applied both solutions and Mr. Dukes remained unaffected. At last the troubles of the Dukes family were at an end. And then Mr. Dukes awoke, and behold ! it was all a dream — that last flask of XX had been too strong. P. N. G— ' 15. 5sCT H4 MF Current Events at P. C. Sept.
