tiful Reception by Mrs.
Eidson. Emily Geiger
Chapter Met.
In compliance with the request of
Gov. Cooper, the pastors of the
churches here on Sunday, July 4,
preached on "Some of the Great
Needs of our Country." At the Bap
tist church Rev. Brooke used as his
text "Blessed is that nation whose
God is the Lord, and the people
, whom He hath chosen for His own
inheritance." He preached.a most
practical sermon, dividing his dis
course in subject heads, some of
which he clearly showed the wisdom
and again the folly thereof.
While visiting in New York Mrs.
Octavia Rushton was married to Mr.
Pender of the Philippine Isles, he
having a government position there.
They will make their home here for a
time, at least.
Mrs. J. Howard Payne and Mar
garet Heien, Mrs. Wallace Turner
and little Wallace, and Miss Hallie
White are at home from a visit to
Mrs. George Galphin at Ninety Six.
Rev. W. S. Brooke has gone to
Richmond, Va., to be with his wife,
who is at St. Luke's hospital under
treatment. The last of the week she
-? . will undergo an operation.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Richardson
are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. P. N.
Lott. It has been some time since
theyhave visited here and everyone
is delighted to see them again
Mr. John Suber spent the week
end in Columbia with his sister, Mrs. ,
Davis.
. Mrs. Joe Cox gave a lovely party ?
in honor of her little niece, Margaret
Youmans on Friday afternoon. The
large lawn was the scene of the
pleasure and everyone had a happy j
pr^n?Se^
before the party ended. j
Mrs. J. D. Bartley is at home from ]
the University Hospital where she ]
was under treatment. -,

In the death of Mrs. Mamie Ware ]
Coleman, the widow of Mr William
Lee Coleman, which occurred Mon- <
. day last about two o'clock, the town
and community lost one of its most (
noble and esteemed women. *l
For the past several years she has ]
been a great sufferer and for about i
four years had to use a rolling chair.
About two months ago she suffered \
a stroke of paralysis and for a few j
weeks before her death was in a ;
semi conscious state. Every available ?
remedy for her comfort was sought :
and the loving care of her daughter, ?
Mrs. Bartow Walsh was beautiful to ,
see.
Mrs. Coleman was a woman of
great strength of character and was
always identified with every endeavor
that meant for the good, the uplift
of the town.
Even in her affliction, when she
was always suffering, it h?lped one
to visit her, ever cheerful and bright,
she made her visitors realize what
Christian faith would do.
Mrs. Coleman was a great church
worker, as long as she was permitted
tc attend the services, and when she
could not go, on all occasions of of
ferings and special collections, she
never failed to send a generous con
tribution. She was greatly interested
in the cause of education and con
tributed much here. A room of G.
W. C. is furnished in memory of her
daughter, Miss Marie Clarke Cole
man, an honor graduate, and a med
al given in art there in her memory.
Mrs. Coleman was a woman in
whose breast the patriotic fires, burn
ed brightly.
She was an ardent member of the
D. of C., and the last occasion on
which she mingled with her friends
vwas January 19th, Lee and Jackson
Day" when she entertained the vet
erans arfd'D. of C., in celebration of
the day.
Mrs./Coleman was widely connect
ed and was Miss Mamie Ware of
Greenville and the only surviving
one of a large family. This happy un
ion was blessed with four children,
Mr. William Ware Coleman and Miss
Marie Clarke Coleman, who died a
few years ago, and Mrs. Bartow
Walsh and Mr. Garland Coleman.
The funeral services were con
ducted on Tuesday afternoon at 6
I o'clock in the home and was attended
by a large concourse of sorrowing
friends. The services were conducted
by Dr. W. S. Dorsett, a former pas
tor and Rev. W. S. Brooke. A beau
tiful tribute was paid her memory.
"Goodnight, but not Goodbye" was
sung and the body was carried to the
MU, of Olives cemetery where it was
tenderly laid to rest beside the grave
of her beloved husband. The grave
was literally covered with flowers.
The pall bearers were Messrs. W.
E. and James LaGrone, J. P. Hoyt,
M. R. Wright, Wilmot Ouzts, Earl

Why We Should Have State
Colleges.
(Paper read by Miss Janice Morgan
before the Woman's Missionary So
ciety of the Baptist church.)
It would be a difficult proposition
indeed, to do this subject justice^-I
shall merely tell a very little of what
I have learned of State Colleges,
from observation and experience, try
Ung to show through this discussion
why we should have State Colleges.
It has been said that the aim of
education is to make one "socially
^efficient." I take this phrase, "social
ly efficient" to mean well trained
and developed up to the notch, phy
sically, mentally, morally and relig
iously. You know our state has at
.heart the very best for people, and
J?s doing all in its pc ver to provide
a better means of ed icating its peo
ple-for only with "socially efficient"
individuals, each man and woman,
can we have a "socially efficient"
state. Hence, our State Colleges.
These institutions of learning make
education possible to both rich and
poor. There are numbers and num
bers of ambitious boys and girls in
the state, (and of course, what I say
pf this state applies in most cases to
other states, too) who, when they
have finished high school, long to go
to college,' and better fit themselves
to become citizens and do "worth
while" things for their state. But the
parents of these boys and girls are
not financially able to send them to
college. But there is something the
boy or girl may do. He or she may
stand the entrance or scholarship ex
amination to the State Colleges.
Some boys and girls are bound to get
scholarships, either state or one of
th? various others offered. Of course
you will understand that the state
gives as many scholarships to each
?j?unty as it has representatives, leg
islators. If they, do. not, receive one
?
rjreat per cent of the boys and girls,
some of whom become our greatest
ind most useful citizens, are enabled
;o get an education when had it not
>een for the State Colleges they
vould have remained uneducated,
^.nd could, our state ever attain "so
ial efficiency?"
Looking at this question from an
ntirely different point of view. The
tate appropriates funds for the es
ablishment of such institutions as
de penitentiary, jails, asylums, hos
itals, homes for the feeble minded,
tc. Then, are the repesentatives of
ur state government going to pro
ide for such institutions as these,
) the neglect of the highest form of
plift and improvement of our peo
le-"education?" Surely not! Then
say let us have State Colleges. Per
ips of we had more such colleges
e should not need so many institu
Dns as those mentioned above. One
! the greatest advantages of a State
?llege is, that it is backed by our
w makers and representatives. Our
ate Colleges each have a strong
d able body of trustees to look af
r the affairs of the college. But
ey also have the representatives of
r goverment behind them to direct
?m and see that "things are going
;ht," so to speak. Every year or
0 our legislators visit our State
lieges. They eat with us, they in
ict the rooms in our dormitories,
?y inspect the other buildings on
1 campus and even see to the con
ions of everything at the farm. A
te College must be up-to-date in
ry way, or something must, and
I be changed
t is the duty, and I believe it is
purpose of our government to
to it that its people have the right
i of educational facilities, and I
not know of any better method
i through our State Colleges,
ome people object to sending
r children to State Colleges be
se they say, there , is not the prop
religious environment, they say.
y do not receive the proper re
'us training, in short, the religi
side of their life is neglected. I
tot know why people say this. It
be because they are ignorant of
itions there, but I do know that
a thing is untrue. At our State
ige for girls, (and I believe it is
at others as well,) every possi
means is taken of emphasizing

stianity, and its importance and 17-7-2
[the need^of Christian work. We have
a Y. W. C. A. secretary who boards
in the college. She, with a number of
the strongest girls from the student
body form the executive board of the
association. Last year our Y. W. C.
A. had a membership of about one
thousand. This association does won
derful work. We support a mission
ary in China and beginning with
next year we (rather they) will sup
port a Chinese girl for four years at
her college, a new girl coming every
four years. We contribute to various
missions, drives, etc. Understand,
this is merely to give you an idea of
the religious environment at a State
.College.
A year or two ago I heard a min
ister preach a sermon on why you
should send your children to denomi
national colleges. He said much of
the conditions existing at State Col
leges, but I could not agree with him
for I knew differently in many in
stances. I felt that he should have
"thought twice before he spoke." Of
course, I believe in being loyal to
your own denomination, but you can
certainly do that at a State College.
It seems to me * ri is broadening,
greatly so, to be thrown with people
of various denomination. We being
thrown with people of "almost every
rank and religion, get a bigger, broad
er vision of the peoples and religions
of our country. Our eyes are also
opened to many-needs, and various
ways in which we may help to meet
these needs. At the same time, we
may be loyal to our own church. At
my Alma Mater, Winthrop College,
itthas been arranged so that the girls
are free every Sunday morning, to
attend any Sunday school ar preach
ing they wish. And it has also been
arranged that the ministers of the
various churches of the city shall
preach at the college one Sunday
night of each month, ' unless some
ittend these Sunday night services. ?
?Ve also have weekly prayer meet
ngs, morning watch, Mission Study s
?lasses, Bible Study classes, Teacher v
Training Classes, study of B. Y. P. t
J. Manual and various other such j
:ourses. ^
Now, judging State Colleges by
/hat we know of our own, can you
ell me wherein the religious devel- r
pment of a life is neglected? *
I have stated only a very few o
oints as to why I think we should g
ave State Colleges. But if there is f,
ne just or sane reason why we w
?ould not have State Colleges, I 0j
?ould certainly like to hear it. h,
