THE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE.
The readers of The News will
dnd in today's paper an excelPent
epitome of President Roose
relt's annual message to Confess.
Its perusal will he far
More satisfactory than undertaking
to wade through the document
itself, which is said to be
tie lengthiest message ever sent
to our national lawmakers by any
Prooirion f r\ f iKo TTr?if/\rI Ctnlnn
-* ivuiuvu u v? l uo IUICU UIU I C3 .
It is estimated that there are
thirty thousand words in the
message, filling about twenty
tvo columns of the daily paper
average size.
Probably the most remarkable 1
feature about the message is its
ionservatism. There is nothing
sensational about it, no radical

not even evidence of the fiery i
strenuosity that usually character I
ices the public utterances of the (
Rough Itider President. I
As was to be expected, much 1
space is devoted to the presi- <
Aeill's latest hobby, railroad sate I
regulation. But even upon this t
sabject he advances nothing new t
?nothing that he has not already t
9?id time and again. lie does
not advise extreme legislation? 1
nothing like the making of rates 1
for the railroads, but simply the (
regulation by the government of *
the rates as made by the railroads 1
themselves. His views are so t
moderate that even the most 8
jealous defender of corporate in- ^
!erests in Congress will have but ^
little excuse lor opposing the c
president's recommendations. j

No repeat that, the possibility of t

of this town and and the lower f

iVINTHROP GIRLS AND CHRISTMAS.
So far as our observation extends,
the newspapers ot ihe
state, that have expressed any
opinion at all on die s ' ject,
approve the recent action of the
trustees of WinthropO?? lege in
refusing to allow the students ot
that institution to have a Christ
mas holiday.
We see no reason why the
girls should he discriminated
against. The s udents of other
state institutions are given a
lew days' holiday Christmas ?
why not those of Winthrop also?
If it is a good tiling for Clemson
and South Carolina Col lego boys
to spend Christmas at home,
why shouldn't it be equally as
good for the Winthrop girls? It
any distinction is to be made at
all it should be in favor of the
girls, who are not so likely to be
"done up" or "knocked out', by
the dissipations of yule-tide and
thereby unfitted for school work
on their return to college.
Judging by the experience of
the past, a lot of the Winthrop
girls will go home Christmas,
r* 13 ? ~ - 4- - ' *
a 11 y w ny . it BirHll^B COinCldence
sickness develops in the
homes of many of the students
about "Christmas time", and in
c nisequence urgent letters and
telegramR are rushed to Rock
Hill, asking the college authorities
to permit the girls to "come
home". But the girls and their
parents should not be forced to
resort to such subterfuges.
LIBRARY DAY IN THE PUBLIC
avnUULd.
Next Friday, the 15th instant,
is the day that State Superin
Lendent of Education Martin has
designated as Library Day in
die public schools. That it should
tie generally observed goes without
saying. It is to be hoped,
herefore, that teachers, patrons
tnd pupils will heartily cooperate
ind make the day one of marked
tuccess.
No school should be without a
ibrary, and there is no excuse
or h puouc ficnooi in South
Carolina being without one in ,
dew of the generous offer made
>y the state to aid in the esablishment
of libraries. All a
chool has to do is to raise ten
lollars in order to secure a forty- (
lollar-library. While a number i
?f schools in Lancaster county ,
lave already taken advantage of 1
he state's proposition, there are
nany others have not done so. j
In view of the importance of <
his matter we republish Suporntendent
Martin's letter in re- '
y
ation to libraries in the schools, i
iddressed some time ago to couii J
y superintendents, teachers and 1
rustees:
The legislative appropriation
or this year will allow for the J
istablisbment of 200 more In J
iraries and for the increase of a
reat, many of those established I
ast year. The establishment ol '
00 new libraries and I he in. ?
rease of 100 would mean that at J
aast 25,000 first class hooks j
'onId be placed in the hands ol fie
public school children before
fie year closes. When the new *
ear begins, we shall have to c
vait about two month? for an
ither legislative appropriation,
>ven if this year's appropriation
b exhausted. I have therefore
legislated December 15th as
Library day, to be observed by
the schools of the state with the
hope that we may arrange on
that day for 25,000 books. 1
sufjuesi, therefore, that, you use
that day for some lorm of public
exercises, reciiiiuons, lectures,
charades, dialogues, oyster sup
per, phonograph, stereoptican or
some oilier form of public enter
tainment of your own choosing,
to which an a< mission tea shouol
be charged. Let us do all we
can to arouse -in erest and pro {
vide funds for this important
work before tli* year closes.
Alter December 31st this up
propria!ion will be no longer
ava lable. We shall have to
wait until after the adjournmen1
Of the legislature betore nex
year's appropriation can be its -d.
Let us have a grand rally on i) rcember
15th and a good report
