Mr. J ,1 tawtou, Presi dent of i in* Board of Trustor, gave 0 .word of greeting to the guests of the College and stated' the purpose of the meeting. The trustees, ho said, foil that uiiiiiy friends of Coker Col would like io become bo tier ao >iuaiutcd * with the student <?f . ?^?>ker. wiili ilii* faculty ami with (he Callogfl plant in general; 's'O the Board of Trustees instructed I ?r.

Sikos. president of the College. for a four minute ^h?<h'Ik Other friends of I I I e .Colhyre were to -follow with short talks. l>r. Siktjs emphasized scholar ship ami . briefly outlined plans for making Coker a standard <*>llege. Mrs. Margaret Koeso MoBryde, of Florence, speaking fov tho Ahuunao, paid a beautiful tribute to Major Coker, XSS the Vnan wlvo had a dream a vision, and mado it come true. She talked of tho beginning of Coker Col lege in tho Welsh Nook IUgh School ; then as now the keynote was character. Coker College, she felt is moasured by what a girl takes away. Christian service, character and culture Is what the Alumnae wish tho College always to ytand for. Rev. Joel I. Allen, of Dillon, one of the oldest friends of tg/i College spotffe' of the distinctive tone and atmosphere of Coker College. Mr. Simeon Hyde, of Charleston, talk ed along the same Hdo. He wanted Cokor to take, as its motto "The Best" Tfi everything. He made a strong ap peal for Christian education. Culture of heart along with culture of mind shall give a life complete and useful. Mr. J. W. I^eGrand. of Bennettsville. alluded to the excellent equipment of Coker College, but said that the Col lege to him meant the girls? -^the girls and faculty. Coker College to him stands for Christian womanhood. Mr. D^lt. Coker gave some thoughts that he fo't the Founder might have wished given. Major Cokor's idea wu? that tho influence of Coker College should reach to the utmost parts of the (country it serves. Sfr. Coker spoke feelingly of the economic situation - In South Carolina and of the opportunity and duty of the educated '.people to give a vision to the loss fortunate, to show them what other seHions have done. The institution, ho said, was here for service, for all kinds of serv ing. to meet any and every emergen cy. Mr. B. K. Trirluck, of Olanta, brought out very forcefully the same idea of service, declaring that the noblest ideal of the College could set for itself is to do the thing that is best for the constituency that it serves. The duty of the progressive woman's college, he said,' was to find out what young womanhood needs and give that Mr. It. B. Pitts, of Camden, stressed the point of education for citizenship, for patriotism. Mr. F. A. Miller, of Hantsville, in a very graceful and scholarly manlier urged that the ideals of Washington to promote literature and an inviolable respect foi* the law be ever kept in mind. Coker should mean a higher type of citizenship for "ho who saves his country saves all things. " Itev. Samuel Ivong. of Heath Springs, spoke along the line of ser vice. The program in the auditorium was inter.sperccd with mu.sic by Mr. Alfred Hall. dirtKtor. and Miss S?*mel rotii. head of the voice department At 1 :.T0 a sumptuous luncheon was served in ?fhe Collegp dining hall. While the luncheon was in progress the cooks >-!ood at t h?? kitchen door and sang .some of those charming old negro melodie* that every Southerner I likes to hear. Later the College <1 i rls : sang from the balcony, songs to the trustees and friends of the College. The afternoon was given over to an inspection tour. Both faculty and stu dents took great delight in showing the guests through the dormitories and J over the campus. All in all this Rally Day was n very happy occasion, and ono memorable in the history of Coker College.

In our report of the capture of the Gypsies for robbery here about two weeks ago. we stated that the men were allowed to pay the ''money back to Mr. Holland and paid the costs of tho arrest and ? sot free. Tills was an ??rror nnd Sheriff Welsli states that it ha* caused some little comment that roW>ors should be turned loose without trial. Tho facts In the ease were that the two identified by Mr. Holland were women, one of them with a small in fant in her arms, and lie thought, that to iplaee the women In jail would Is- a I useless expense to the county, especial ly since one had a small infant, so they I were allowed to go on their way.

"More than $,'{0,000,000 worth of <*ot? ton is now stored In the warehouses in tin1 state system." .1 Clifton Rivers, warehouse commissioner, said yester day in speaking of the big business the *late system Js handling this year. "The state warehouse system "bus developed Into one of the biggest businesses of the country." Mr. Rivers eoutitiued. "At present we liave more than 1.000 bonded employees and are operating more than 1.000 units or warehouses with < -t ? t ton vnlurd ;i t more than i^o.ooo.ogo. "Ilv calmilation made on October i.'i it was shown that {lie value of the. lotion on storage nt that time had in creased $7, r>00, 000 since the cotton was plaeed in the warehouses. This was carried at a minimum cost to the peo ple who are using the department.'' During November flic number of bales of cotton stored increased by 3.'i,857 over the first day of November. Last year a total of approximately ,VK>/ boles were handled by the <;ys tern. A great increase in the number of the larger warehouses entered into the ftUite synietn is s!;c*ra in Novem ber business. This is attributed to the fart that the state warehouse receipt* are being used more extensively In ob taining Jotm* through the -war finance corporation and othor financial agetwri es, becausc of the easy facilities they a/ford for such purposes and because they are approved t?y the war finance corporation ft ? : ? ? ? ? ? y- ?? jk * ?

The swamp was reported hy mem hers of l !>?? party to have been In g'M?.l condition for hunting, several turkeys being si'(?n. hut all except five uranug I ii'ii to make good their eseiq>o. beside* those killed only three or four wore .shot at, but menage as It may seem to the uninitiated, a wild turkey is at>out as .difficult a target to hit as any game t hat files, .runs or erawls. wiIim* not (~ exrluded. ? Signs of many turkeys were seen. h?it It was thought that mosi> of them were needing near the uplands a great er pari of the time. The drove from wUJk'h three of tile t . A ' ? turkeys wore killed consisted of six. this being the largest flock encounter ed ou the hunt. The others were single gobblers or two or three old boys strolling around together, accord*, ing to hunters. vThe party experienced the first of the numerous hunts given by tlife club iu which travel was made up stream, a motor boat being used to convey the st under* from oiu> stand to another. This was al^o the first turkey hunt j given this year when any luck ?was met with, the first one Thanksgiving day I being unproductive. T * The party reached tbc river about 10 o'clock Saturday morning and in dulged In the pastime of shifting lo calities and. sitting on slumps until 4 o'clock Jn the afternoon. Tho manner of hunting used in this locality is probably unique as applied to turkeys, though something of the same order Is used In various place? in pursrait of deer. v-"" Of eourse^ thef tnrkeya bave general' ly been more or less scouted by pre vious hunts tho saip? year or-the year before and since, like (partridges, the^ use the same localities, their position may be more or leas infallibly deter mined. When terrain where the "turks*' are known to abide is reached, or just before it is reached, two or < three of the party, who are to do the drlviug, disembark with the dogs, while the others go on around a bend or two of the river and are put out on stunds where the birds are like ly to fly when flushed by the dogs. The (logs used are generally more or Joss short logged so that the gamp will Dot he "bounded tip'' in too great haste and frequently they reach the standers running. When the drivers have covcred the land under susrpicion as harboring tur keys, the drivers ? always old heads at the sport ? whistle softly like a "Bob White" to assemble the party and say. "Well, let's go on to the next place ? sh-h-b. there mitrht be vomothing there. I>on't beat thnt boat." In this manner, if any (urkc.VH are present thd hunters have a JiO-flO chance of finding tliein and when found I he turkeys have an even op portunity to make their getaway.* Sometimes ducks and occasionally ger?se are encountered on t lie river and bugged On one ooension a party kill ed eight geese in one spot when a flook of "kelionkere" was "run into." A large flock wax seen by the hunter* Saturday but were not in range. So ducks were seen. Those who were fortunate enough to kill turkeys were Anerum Boykin. Wil lis Boykin, Bolivar Boykin, and J M ("Boots") Oantey of Columbia, while Dr. Barney Heywurd and Charlie Lynch got one "together." # ChlW Bsdly The littfie baby boy of Mr. ami Mr#.
