The Lexington Dispatch. I Wednesday, August 24. 1904. So-ath. Carolina College. Expansion of Its Work and Its1 Splendid Facilities. For three of men the j S^'Uh Carol a.* U it =;*? bc43 wrought j its great work ij> ?ae unification and prosperity of the JScate. For three j generations her sens have honored their aima mater by useful lives and splendid citizenship, and today, in the character and strength of the members of its faculty and in the variety and thoroughness of its literary, scientific and law course, it stands eminent; in the quality of its work it is the peer of any university of the South. A variety of courses i leading to the several baccalaureate degrees in Arts, Science, Law, Engineering (Civil and Electrical), and Pedagogy, is offered, with the most liberal choice of studies and the widest possible elective opportunity The faculty has recently enlarged and increased the facilities for postgraduate work, and has placed the opportunity for such advanced university study within reach of all who may desire it, and who cannot go out of the State to obtain it. Every year the College has a number of students working for post-graduate degrees. Its chemical, biological and physical laboratories are well equipped and have each a master teacher at .V-., its head; and the College library, with its 35,000 volumes, is the de light of a student's heart. The College offers special inducements to ambitious vouDg men and women in its generous provision for the conferring of scholarships on meritorious students at the close of j each session. Five of these scholarships are conferred upon distinguished members of ths Freshman ClasF; four in the Sophomore Class, and three in the Junior Class. Ia addition to these scholarships, by en i Act of the General Assembly in 1904, two Special Normal Ssholarships for men teachers are given to each county in the State, the value of each being equivalent to $98. This gift cannot be regarded as a charity? far from it. The money will be paid back to the State a thousand fold in the betterment of the common schools of the State, which are established and maintained solely for the purpose (<r should be) of reariog good citizens?men and women?whose I lives shall be devoted to the common weal. Toe men who honestly accept these scholarships are not accepting charity, but are simply being partly paid in advance for the hard work, the eelf-?acrifice, the grind to which they subject themselves for the good of the State. The teaching fcrce of the faculty numbers seventeen professors, adjunct professors, and instructors, each of whom is a specialist in bis own department, and has erjoyed t *e finest advantages offered in the jrreat UDivereities of this country or E irope The president, faculty and btudents i re working together harmoniously and as a unit for the good of the College. Oa the 13-h day of last March ?rof. R Means Davis, Professor of History and Political Science, the great teacher, the big hearted man, the model citizen, died. His loss to the CMIege and tc the State is incalculable. At its mretiDg in June the Board of Trustees elected as bis successor Prof. Gordon B Moore, a ' 1 ? ' 1 - - J - Virginian oy Dirtn auu a ouuvu olinian by years of service. Professor Moore is a gentleman and a scholar, a man of high character, of grdtt mental strength and vigor, and of ioDg experience in successful teaching. He also has a worthy reputat on as a great Baptist preacher. The Chair of AdjuL it Professor of English has also been established, and Mr. H. C. Davis, a South Carolinian and a graduate of the South j Ctrjlina College, and last session a ! teacher of English in the University j of Washington, at Seattle, was in June elected to till this chair. The College is to be congratulated upon securing bis services. His success S3 a teacher is assured. The advantages offered to the young men of the State by such an institution are invaluable.

Washington, August 17 ?Careful inquiry at the State department develops the fact that no invitation has passed through 'that department to * * ' - A - -1 any king, prince or potentate to attend the world's fair at St. Louis. The executive branch of the government does not intend to issue invitations of this kind except on explioit directions from Congress. Congress has appropriated no money to entertain royal visitors, and; moreover, it is regarded as highly desirable that there should be no discrimination in Buch invitations, and it ienotfeasable to invite all the crowed heads of Europe to St. Louis at the governments expense. Ig is possible that some distinguished visitors will come of their own volition, in which case the President will see to it that they receive every possible courtesy, but he cannot extend invitations.

This exclamation in referenoe to the Teachei's Summer school just closed, is the verdict of students who Tealize their own benefit; of towns-people and visitors who watched with interest the unusually zealous spirit of teacher-students in attendance; and of the instructors, whose constant interest gave them an insight into the real purpose of the student. The report, as submitted by Prcf. Alien, within itself, shows fully the marked success in every branch and particular. It is found from that report that though the school opened in a Jvery tryiDg time?the hot days of June? the enrollment reached 40. Of this number there was an average attend aDce of 37 six days in the week. Twenty of these attended every day after entrance. There were only 18 tardy marks against total enrollment during the session. This happened in spite of the three weeks inclement weather, which was another tryiDg crdeal for even earnest and determined teachers. Another source of gratification, especially to the instructors, was that an average of 10 hours daily was spent on studies; which shows the merry making season was laid aside for the time being. One of the greatest sources of inspiration to tbe student was the constant visits of interested sympathising friends, many of whom making inspiring, practical and uplifting ? r\ Dp^CUIiCD* VI lucor, m. J. WA. x ?vterson Wardlaw, of South Carolina College, shoud be especially mentioDed. He gave a public address on "The Use of Libraries," containing many practical suggestions, besides, he spent much time with the school at the Institute building. For all of these valued services the school voted a unanimous vote of thanks. Thursday and Friday of the last week of school was the time set for examinations. Thursday the classes were examined in the following sub jecte: Rhetoric, Literature and History. Friday tbey were examined in the remaining 3utiectp, Algebra, Geography and Pedagogy. Of those who enrolled, 36 took the fiaal examination. Before the school was dismissed for final separation, a resolution extending thp.nks to Mr. Bauc-r, section director of the weather bureau, and Mr. Watson, commissioner of immigration, for charts furnished the school, was unanimously adopted. Also a committee cf students presented a resolution of thanks to Profs. Allen and Schoenberg for their valued eervices. This was eitbusiastically and unanimously adopted, in response to which each gave fxpression, not by mere words, but by feelings that be appreciated this and at the same time was deeply touched. The teachers from this county, as well as the neighboring counties, seemed more favorably impressed with the session just closed than any previous cdc. Those who attended were greatly benefited and pleased; all will make an effort to attend next session; others who do not, should. J It was enough when "God be with you till we meet again" was announced. The school wept; for they knew that the same mutual, social intercourse could never be renewed. Below is given the resolution of t i i thanks adopted oy me ecnoo;: We, the teacher pupils of the Summer school, of Lexington county, are sincerely detirious to express in a most earnest manner our gratitude to Profs. Allen and Schoenberg, for their great patience, interest aDd untiriDg efforts in our behalf, and for their thorough and efficient instructions. J Witherspoon Oxner, Mary C Wmgard, Sue H.

He is 90 and what little sleep he requires be takes on bia feet. "An elephant m his prime only sleeps five hours a night, and the older he grows the less he needs This good fellow here practically needs no sleep at all. At whatever hour of the day or night I come to him, he stands patiently in his place, rocking from side to side. I know he sleeps a little, but for years now his naDS have been so short that be hasn't b nbered to lie dowo for them. Nearly all old elephants are like this." Suicide Preevntsd.

Bombarding Continues, Londoo, Aug. 18 ?The Russian ? ?o..v. ot Arthur hna rcfnnod I l^aiiiouu a u L un u.i<uv>k ?. to comply with the Japanese demand to surrender, and non-combatants in the beleagured city refuse to avail themselves of the Japanese offer of a chance to leave the city.

Charleston, Aug. 19 ?The advice received here this afternoon stated j that the negro, Sam Brown, who j killed Attan HethiDgton, at Meggette, yesterday morning, had not been captured by the posse which are after h:im. The pursuit is still on and the opinion seems to be that the capture is ooly a question of time. A report was circulated here l today that the negro had been ar- 1' rested by a police officer at the Line | street station, the negro having made for Charleston for greater protection, but there was no truth in the story. The negro who resembled Brown, arrested at Green Pond last night, has been released as he was not the man who did the killing. The feeling has quited somewhat. Mr. Sully Cotton Prophot. New York, Aug. 19?Although i hamperee with bankruptcy proceedings, in his office, at No 49 Exchange I place, Daniel J. Sully yesterday in- i formed his friends that he still con- | aiders vimself in the light of a pro- j phet on cotton. He tays he is coo- ! vinced that, instead of a bumper j crop of 12.000,000 bale6, it will not exceed 10,750,000 bales. ''There is a great deal of misconception in regard to the coming crop," said Mr. Suliy. "The yield i? almost j bound to fall below the popular esti- ! mate. From the great acreage al- j ready a considerable abandonment i has taken place, and a .further decrease will occur when the picking j season starts and the pressure upon j labor becomes great." Mr. Sully has given up the scheme of forming a joint stock company, as ! he considers the project is incompatible with the present state of his affairs. f' P ill ^L'YIirDr IVUiTP 1 Ml f j n,T NO SETTER LEAD MADE. | ? ^ THE LEH'HGTON 8EP4RTKE8T STORE.
