It is claimed that several hundred had to be turned away last year on account of no rQom to accommodate them. This should not be. The State should be more - liberal in its support to this school. -As-a rule, this paper is opposed to high appropriations, but we wish? to be enlisted with the great majority, who favor a more liberal appropriation for this institution of learning, which is indeed an honor to our great ^commonwealth and one in which every citizen has a just right to feel fimiirl There is no earthly reason why the 3voung men of the State should receive so much more consideration at the hands of our law-makers than do the young women. It is not right. Yet it is a notorious fact that the amount expended for the higher education of our boys far exceeds the amount given to our young ladies. That our girls are in every sense as deserving cannot be disputed. It has been truly said that the "Hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." There never was a time when the truth of that expression was more clearly shown than at the present; for in every walk of life our young women are rapidly forging ahead.

If we would further advance the cause of education in pur State and nation, let the legislature be more liberal in its appropriation to Wintbrop College. Secead Woek With tip Auditor 'y ' 1 Monday morning bright and early, eve left Lexington for Pelion, a distance of about 18 miles. We reached thereabout 11.30, after a very cold irive over heavy roads. While in Pelion we were entertained comforttbly at the hospitable home cf Mr. md Mrs. Lucius Wise.' We spent the light with these good people and our itay was much enjoyed. Lucius is me of the best known business men >f this growing town and is. loved by iverybody.' Business at Pelion was airly good and the auditor and news>aper man were kept pretty busy. At 12 o'clock Tuesday we drove for Villiams' Cross Roads, where we met rery few people. We were soon on th? oad for Steadman's, where we spent he night at the Gunter Hotel. WedLesday morning Auditor Dent opened Lp for business, but few people turned ut and we were off for Samaria. (Business at Steadman was on a tand still. Miss Crooks is still the ery attractive depot agent, and perorm9 her duty with becoming digniy. 'Perhaps there is not another lady u the State filling a like position, he is extremely popular with the eople of Steadman and surrounding ommunity. We arrived at Samaria about 12 i 'clock and were served with a most nmnhnons dinner at the home of Mr. IT - >aniel E. Boatwright. Serving the itizens of this place we pulled reins dt Batesburg, the ineca of Lexington ounty, arriving there about 6 o'clock. Va found things quiet at this point, ut the business men were all in good pirits, hoping for better times in the ear future. The stores at Batesburg re the equal of any in the State and o finer set of business men are to be Dund anywhere. Both banks are oing a good business and the finani ial stringency has not affected them o any great extent. The town coninues to grow, many business houses nd dwellings are now in course of onstruefcion. * We found Editor Bayly of the Advoate, happy as usual, and his office orce hard at work. We were at Leesville all day on Thursday. The auditor was kept rery busy taking tax returns. Che merchants were busy. The rejent rise in the price of cotton caused lumber * of farmers to turn loose part if their Holdings. Leesville is known Ear and near as one of the best cotton markets in the State. The town continues to grow in numbers and in business, and once the factory gets in running order her business will nearly double\ The merchants carry large and well selected stocks of merchandise and their prices are low. Leesville has two banks, both doing well. mi tTl ?3 ~ ?11*5 x^iiiaru IIUUCI 10 yuc ui liic UWU in the land and we always delight to stop at this place. We visited The News office, where Messrs. Hare and Eargle were busy as "bees in a tar bucket." They are getting out a very creditable sheet. Summit was the next, place. Here we met the usual number of citizens. After the auditor completed his work we repaired .to the comfortable home of Mrs. Shealy, who knows how to treat the weary traveller. There is no place in the county where our stops are more enjoyed than at Mrs. Shegly's. The school at Summit is in charge of Miss Myrtle Werts who is held in the highest esteem by both patrons and pupils. She is a highly cultured young lady and is very efficient in her work. Saturday evening we spent at Gilbert, where we always meet numbers of people. Gilbert is holding her own and the merchants were all busy. The farmers of this vicinity seemed happy and content with their lot. tt's Emulsion are es Scott's.

Our time up we drove for Lexington, reaching here a little before six o'clock. This week- we will visit Edmund, Gaston, Cross Roads, Mack's. Swansea, and Sandy Run. We hope the people will turn out promptly and | pay all dues, so that- we will not be forced to discontinue The Dispaich. ? ?? - Governor Ansol's SCessago. Tr? V>.ia onmv.l r>"i err- f/~i ftlO ft^n JLU iiAO U.il. UWA v ?/^ ? v. ^.. . eral Assembly, Governor M. F. Ansel recommends many changed in the State government. Chiefest among these recommendations is the change suggested in the-Carey-Cothran law so as to do away with all dispensaries now running, except those at the county seats. That is, he recommends that but one dispensary be run ih a county, except in those counties f where there are cities and towns with more than 25,0C0 inhabitants. Tills would do away with the dispensaries now located in towns where they are not wanted. j Unless a straightout prohibition law is passed?which is not at all unlikely ?this recommendation of the Gov-, ernorwili undoubtedly be adhered to. * *? i - n ? u-ov. Ansei a;so reeommenus nigner i salaries for all State ofiieers. He i states that his individual expenses ; s Chief Executive of the State, have * been over $1,000 in excess of his sal-i ary. This he attributes to the advance in price of thP necessaries of life. This is very true and no doubt will be carefully considered by both houses. The repeal of the Lien law is recommended. He also advises an additional levy of 2 mills be so that the government might be run on a cash basis. Taking the message, as a whole, it is a business-like document?shoifc and to the point. Notes from Gaston. Little Miss Essie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Shajrpe, is improvir g from a burn she received sometime ago. The man who wears smiles as large as the editor w when he received his dollar is Mr. W. B. Fallaw, carrier on route 1, all because its a boy. Mr. J. J. Smith, formerly of this section, died at his home at Edmund on the 15th inst., after lingering for sometime. His remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground beside his wife, who preceded him by several years. He leaves a number of relatives and friends to mourn his departure. The little burned child of Mr. and Mrs. II.- V. Cook is improving very nicely. Mr. D. H. Craft started as carrier' on route 3, Jan. 1st. Mrs. D. R. Craft departed this life on the 18th inst. She leaves a husband, three children, a mother, three brothers, two sisters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her departure. She was laid to rest be- > side her children in New Hope cemetery in the presence of a large crowd, by her pastor, Rev. T. J. Cupstid. \ Jan. 20. Subscriber. The 1. D. Cullum Co.' The L. D.
