ESTABLISHED 1844 || THEIR PROUDEST DAY, Due West in the Glory of Her Great Schools. The greatest thing In Abbeville county Is the educational Institution! at Due West, of which all this people are so orou J. Tha fame z ^ and the glory of these colleges are co-axtenslve with the boundaries of the country, and tbe benevolent christian Influence of Ersklne collcge extends not only to all ot our own peo"la.bat to tbe heathen In distant parts sf tbe eartb. Her sons bave labored wltb Confucians and other pagan religions in China, while the light of the gospel has been taken to ; India by a daughter of the Dae West Female College. As for the Dae West Female College. Its in. licence with tbe best of women Is like the dew. It oovere the earth, and blesses mankind wherever the English toogae is known. For fifty years tbe inptltatlon which was founded and established by the most enterprising citizen that Due West ever had?Rev. J. I. Bonner, D. D.?has been sending out pious women to adorn tbe religion of their lathers and to sweeten tbe bouseholds of thousands of families. The refining and Christianising precepts of theae colleges conld not be computed. Tbe new president of Ersklne, Rev. J. S Mofiet, D. D., tills the public demand and < brings unanmlty of sentiment io tbe cbarob and It* sons from every section are bere a?~ eembled to receive tbe benefits and blessing of a liberal christian education. Tbe Due Wfst Female College Is now a cburcb lustltutloo, belonging to tbe Synod. Tbls fact bas Inspired people and teachers with greater zeal In the education of our young women. President James Boyce brings the experience of years lo teaching, and an able facnlty of competent teachers Is ready to support blm and to bold up bis bands In tbe good work of training tbe minds and the hearts of tbe best young women on earth. No county In any State can t>oa?t of two better iQatltutlona than Ersklne College and 1U neighbor, the College for Women. We have thought the Associate Reformed College for Women should be changed. It Is not a > local or a Due Weal Inalltutloa, but It Is a church oollege? a oollege for good women not only of Dae Weat, bat of any State that may have a daughter to educate. Ot the opening exercises of these splendid lnatttations the Associate Reformed Presbyterian aald last week: Oar Institutions have opened splendidly. It la taxing the capacity of tbene Institutions to accommodate the pupils in tbo ciaaa rooma and in tbe beardlug departments. New faces, of bright young men and women. ?re to be aeen on all siaes. Tbe opening exercises of Euakine was of more tnan ordinary Interest. "8hort addreF8*? were made by Dr. Motfatt, Rev. M. B. Grler, Mr. Prinze Cllnkncalea, Uav f! M Kitvri iml Rut I, I Ephn.n. Or. F. Y. Presaly and Mr. Lewis White of the pment Senior class. These addiesnen were timely and mnch enjoyed. It was a Rood Bend off for the college. "At the opening exercises at the Dae West Female College addrewses were made by the President, Rev. Jas. Boyce, Rev. O. Y. Bonner, the Chalrmaa of the Board, and t>y Rev. Mr. Beard, the paaior of the Methodist chnrch at Donalds. A floe feeling prevailed at the opening this Institution. All the new teachers were at their post and things moved off well in the class rooms. The new dormitory that accommodates over one hundred boarders Is full and the ovei flow will be tafcen care 0f1n the main college building. "At the graded school Prof. Rabb took charge. Mr. A. 8. Kennedy, Prof. Rabb and others mad* remarks. The enrollment in thl* school la 125. Prof. Rabb, Mrs. Nettle Bonoer and Miss Agnes Grler huve charge or the scool this year. Tney expect a prosperous year. Due West was never so full of young people as this year." Farmers' Cotton School at Clemaon. In order to protect themselves from the loss by arbitrary olaaslflCHtlon and grading of their cotton by some unscrupulous buyers some farmers of the State made an attempt to Inaugurate a special cotton school for fAAAhlnff f h In Knalnopu nnt tnArolno that Clem^on College was already well equipped for tbla work, wtalcb tbe following letter from Dr. Mell explains. It Is now up to tbe farmera to send up a small clans of bright young men to take tbla special course that our wareboase system may be prepared to pass npon tbe grades ol tbeir own ootion. Clemeon College, Sept. 14, 1907. Mr. J. C. 8trlbllng, Pendleton, 8. C. Dear Sir:?At tbe last meeting of tbe Board of Trustees, Col. Alan Jobnson presented to tbem your request to have established In our a Textile Department a practical course In tbe grading and sampling of ootton lor tbe benefit of tbe tarmers of tne State. Tbe Board re lerred tbls matter to tbe Executive Commit tee U3 look Into tbe entire question and determine If such a course was practicable without serious Interruption to tbe regular work ol tbe young men wbo are pursuing work In tbe department, and If tbe Committee could Qnd tbat tbe request of tbe Farmers'Union could be complied wltb to grant tbe same. Tbe Executive Committee beld a meeting on tbe 4tb Inst., and, after a careful investigation tbey requested me to write you as follows: 1.?Tbere la already nn excellent course In tbe Textile Department wblcb prepares ' yonng men for doing efficiently tbe very work contemplated In tbe plan you unfolded to Col. Johnstone. Tbe Farmer's son wbo pursues tbls course Is amply able to sample and grade tbe cotton bis father proposes Belling. The Board ol Trustees would be pleased to know tbat tbe Farmers'.Union contem- ' plates opening places which' will give positions to the farmers' sons wbo are every year . graduating In tbe Textile courses of ClemBon | College. 2.?We are now permitting young men i from tbe farms and tbe cotton mills of tbe I state to take special oouraes In tte Textile Department If tbey are not able to find time and money to take tbe four years' degree course. Tbla abort oonrse will prepare young men for tbe work of grading ootton. 3 ?There can be no objection raised to a small number of farmers attending speolal practical courses If tbey so desire, provided the following facts are clearly borne In mind 1 by tbem: 1.?Tbe Department can accommodate only a email number at one time. Tbe establishmedtof tbe scholarships in textile lnduatry by tbe last General Assembly will considerably crowd tbe lecture rooms and tbe ma cblnea, and we will, therefore, find difficulty in making room for the lathers ol tbe boys, It tbey come in large numbers. 2.?There will no room Id tbe dormitories for Bleeping and In tbe messl ball for boardIng. now tbat we have opened tbe college to 700 boys* Therefore, If the farmers come tbey will have to secure board and lodging In the neighborhood. 8 ?In order to master efficiently tbls subject of ootton grading It will require two months gr more constant attendance at tbe college lu dally work. Can tbe farmers spare tbls valuable time from their farm*? All things therefore considered the ExutiveCommlttee have thought It wise to suggest thai you recommend to the Farmers' Union the advisability of employing our graduates Id this work ofsampllng and gradlDg the cottoD raised Id South Carolina. Id this way the Farmers'Union will be giving employment to tbe farmers' sons. The Committee teels oonfldent that Id tbls way much better work will be accomplished, and thereby greater satisfaction given tbe farmers Id their efforts to properly market the oottoD crop, Very truly, P.
