WHAT THE S. C. C. L TEACH
ERS ABE DOLNG AT
WINTHROP.
The South Carolina Co-Educa
tional Institute always keeps up
with the times. Thin is proved by
the fact that eleven of the S. C. C.
L teachers are now attending and
takiug special courses in the State
Summer School at Rock Hill. Our
college is more largely represented
than any college in the State. It
is the policy of President Baiiey to
Urge and in some cases require his
assistant teachers to spend at least
one month during the summer in
some 'prominent summer school.
In this way the S. C.' C. ?. teachers
keep up with the procession and
make themselves familiar with
the best and latent methods of
teaching
Mrs. Bailey ie taking a special
graduate's coursu in music under
that master musician Prof. Wade
Brown. Miss Bailey is taking a
special course in vocal music un
der Mrs. Wade Brown, who is
recognized as one of the best vocal
teachers in the South. Capt, Cain
is taking special courses in school
management, physics and astron
omy. This is the second time
Capt. Cain has taken a special
course in some of these branches.
Prof. Entzminger is brushing np
on higher mathematics, and will
be better prepared than ever to
hold up this department in our
college. Miss Davis and Miss Em
Williams are both studying tho
latest and most improved methods
in primary work. Rev. R. W, An
derson and Rev. P. P. Blalock are
taking advanced courses in psy
chology and higher English. Prof.
W. 0. Cain, who is already well
up in chemistry, spends five hours
a day in the college laboratory
' making experiments ;n this de
lightful branch of science. He
has made special arrangements
with the famous Dr.* Byers, of
Chicago to give him (Prof. Cain)
private instruction daily. Dr.
Byers is at the head of this depart
ment in the Summer School. Pres
ident Bailey completed in the New
York Normal several years ago a
special course in school manage
ment, but he ie again pursuing this
very important branch of study.
On last Friday evening a musi
cal was given in the Winthrop
College chapel, only the most dis
?rinmiioT%/%*3 *v?nftiA?A? -- - - 1
they had parts in seven out of the
fourteen. Rev. P. P. ;Blalock de
lighted the SOO people who were
present with one of his beautiful
cornet solos.
All of the above facts go to prove
that the S. C. C. I. is a school that
our citizens may well he proud of
Let us hurry on our plans for put
ting $15,000 in new buildings so
that Presiden!, Bailey and his fac
ulty may have additional room
that they so badly need. When
this is done our college will be on
a firm foundation and will con
tinue to go onward and upward.

Greenville is to have an evening

Why has the State of South Car
olina never finished her State Cap
itol is the question thousands of
visitors to Columbia are asking,
according to the State.
A French editor who has recently
visited the Philippines says that
"it seems to be incontestible that
for the conquest of the interior
100,000 men will not be too many.
We know in France what the
system of little parcels has cost.
It is an example which the Tnited
States would do well not to follow."

The Kock Hill Herald observes '
that: "What kills our towns is
not low taxation as much as con
stant croaking and chronic loaf
ing. One special reason for the
success of our little city is that
we have no croakers and furnish
no room for loafers."
"A community where lots can
be had for the asking is a dead
place and a town where loafers
and croakers abound will be cart
ed off to the cemeter. ?f departed
boroughs sooner or later."
People will talk these warm day
especially about politics, politcians
and religion. The reason is that
they talk m ist about those things
which they do not comprehend.
One of these knowing ones said a
few days ago : ''Well it looks as if

Congressman Wilson, who has sush
a strong hold on the district from
the head of the Congarco Canal
to the western corner of
Greenville county. Said he;
"Oh, Wilson is slated fer Governor.
Had you not heard that?" That is
the way people talk.-Spartauburg

Speaking of a late shipment of
sowpaw received at tho Geenville,
S. C., dispensary. Th? News pays :
It was the ugliest, dirtiest look
ing and tasting "rat juice" that
ever defiled the system of a Pal
metto rumsucker. A filthy redi
meut was at the bottom uf each
bottle. When the bottom was
turned up to view the sediment
drifted through tho whiskey and
the scene looked like a cross be
tween a rainfall of cats and dogs
and a comic picture of a cyclone.
Each bottle appeared to cou tain
several cases of delirium tremens,
and a long, close look at the dis
turbed sediment was calculated tc
induce a first-class case of jim
jams.
LETTER FROM THE WOMEN.
They Inform Gen. Otis They Will
Keep Up Fight il* All Men Are
Killed.
Manila, June 21, p. m.-The'
insurgent army has taken to
the swamps and hills beyond Imus.
The largest foroe is supposed to be
in the neighborhood of San
Francisco de Malabon, holding a
position .nore toward the lake or
make campaigning uncomfortable.
The roads are si i ll good, but the
rice fields adjoining them are pool6
of water.
The Filipino*? will not fight
unless thay can meet our trcopd in
positions most advantageous to
themselves or take our reconnoiter
ing bodies in ambush. t
It is impossible, to learn what
effect the recent defeat has had
upon their leaders. This should
be disheartening, for they had
boasted that the Americans could
never coquer the province cf Cavite,
Aguinaldo's home country, where
he always worsted the Spaniards.
Gen. Otis recently received a
letter signed by native women of
the province delaring that, if all
the men were killed, the women
would still keep up the fight against
the Americans.
Copies of the insurgent organ,
Independencia, show that the
Filipinos hopes of success are
kept aflame by political movements
in America. The Independencia
prints of alleged speeches made at
alleged meetings in the United
States denoucing the war, and it
asserts that these represent the
dominant American sentiment. It
declares Iso that the Filipinos
will continue the war until the next
presidential campaign, which . is
"sure to result in a decision to
withdraw the American troops
from the Philippines."
It is reported that the Spanish
garrison at Baler, in the province
of Principe, on the eost coast of
Luzon, which had become reduced
to 30 men, finally surrendered to
the Filipinos after holding out foi
a yeai.
The Filipinos imprsoncd two
Englishmen at TachJb?n, on the
island of Samara about east of
Luzon. The British first class
cruiser Grafton steamed to that
point from Cebu and her com
mander demanded their release.
When this was refused he lauded
a force of marines and cleared his
ship for action, whereupon the
Englishmen were handed over.

injustice To Biitcsburg.
In view of erroneous impressions
and reports current about the small
pox situation at Batesburg, and thu
fact that several places have
quarantined agaiunt Batesburg in
consequence of these reports, I have
been requested as a disinterested
party to make another official
statement of the situation.
I lake pleasure in setting to right a
false rumor which has unnecessrily
and unjust!)' injured-the business
of this town. There is no epidemic
of smallpox here, only one case of
very mild "varioloid" and two
cases of smallpox convalescent,
and the two latterare being held
by me at smallpox camp until the
patients have passed through the
period of desquamatiou or
"spaling oit period'" in order to
be dismissed.
AU three of these parties are
under guard at smallpox camp,
which is an isolated piace in the
woods. All exposed persons have
been detaiued under quaran
tine for 16 to 21 days. Their
clothing and person is disinfected
and the person vaccinated. Near'}'
at the white people and quite a
large number of the colored people
were vaccinated when I reached
here. 1 have vaccinated and re
vaccinated about 500 colored people
and a few whites; so that the
entire population almost has been
rendered immuue. We are still
vaccinating and re-vaccinating,
and I am inspecting the place for
suspicious cases. The city and
tho writer have adopted a
systematic plan of operation, and
it now looks like all danger ol' a
further spread bas passed.
Leesville aud Batesburg have
taken oil the quarantine against
each other, and Johuston hes also
withdrawn its quantine. The
people of this town have been
anxious to be vaccinated, and there
has bee? a united effort to stamp
out the disease. 1 found that
systematic and proper steps had
been taken before 1 came which
facilitated my work greatly. I met
ihe city council yesterday and
made a report of the situation. I
ambeiuggiven all the assistance
and cooperation needed authorities>
medical doctors and the citizens
generally. I consder Batesburg
a safe place for people to visit!
either on business or socially, tts
smallpox will in a few days be a
thing of tho past in this town.

to favor the round bale, and have
offered a bonus on cotton eo
packed.
On the contrary the great Greek
firm, Kalli Brothers, of New Yoik,
London and other cities, is fighting
the round bale.
L representative of the firm
said recently that GO per cent of
the ginboxes had been conformed
to the new standard size for the
square bale, and that the Texas
Maritime Association had given
a differential of 10 cents per
hundred pounds on ocean freights
in favor of this bale.
No doubt this is and arrnage
ment to offset the large bonus
offered by American houses for
cotton packed in round bales.
The round bale people on the
contrary are claiming that the air
is pressed cut of their bale, and
there is not enough oxygen left in
it to keep up a smoldering fire.
Both sides claim the advantage
in handling. The round bale
people because of a smaller and
moro compact package, and the
square bale people because they
say cotton at the ship side is
handled by machinery, and a
500-pound bale can be handled ad
quickly as one weighing 250.
The square bale people are z) ^
trying to prove that the round 1 .tie
concern is in violation of the new
Texas anti-trust law. In this
state of agitation in cotton circles
the public will look with interest
for the survival of the fittest
bale.-Ex.

she offered tbe breast to the child,
but it wouldn't take it. Coaxingly
