* THOUGHTS OF "THINMER." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mr. Editor: In the very beginning, let me insist that you do not give me an inch of space which belong to The Idler; his artiales are too good to be curtailed or crbwded out in prefer ence to those of inferior quality. I have been a deeply interested ad mirer of The Idler since he first got "busy" with his pen, for the pleasure and benefit of The Herald and News readers, and although most people "save the best for the last," I invar iably turn to his column first. We all need sympathy, kindness, cheer, fellowship, and a "thousand lit tle delicate courtesies," as we go along the dusty road of life. Unceas ing ministry is the daily bread our hearts hunger for-not great gifts and large favors, but gentle affectionate ness which brings satisfying inspira tion, comfort, uplifting hope and strength. 9i these, and more, The Idler has 'extended without discrim inating favor, to every reader of The Herald and News. The writer wishes to thank The Idler f6r his many bits of wisdom and philogophy-for beautifully expressed thoughts-grand in their simplicity and sincerity, and for gems of poetry many of which have been carefully clipped and filed away, labelled "Pre served Sunshine for Dark Days." I. believe that The Idler's dream will be realized; that he will get that park. And no name could be more appropriate than "The Idler's Park,' which, after he has lain down to his last sleep, should be honored by a magnificent monument to his memory, bearing this inscription: "Not himself, but the truth that in life he has spoken, Not himself, but the seed hat in life he has sown, Shall pass on to ages, all about him forgotten, Save the truth he has spolien, the things he has done." The Idler. is wrong though in think ing that Uncle Eli alone, was puzzled over his request to Mr. Wright for an "off-night for Eastside." .Many good people discu.ssed the subject, but after careful thought and sober reflection, few would seriously accuse The Idler of selfishness-and these few are undoubtedly afflicted th torpid livers-hence, mind dis n&must be pardoned. lieve that the way a written ar or in fact anything) affects an ual, depends almost entirely on or her innate constitution, tem ment and mental attributes. tmust be that Uncle Eli laid The ler on the dissecting table, on the pulse of the moment, and without -e for careful gialysis or diagnosis of The Idler's su4posed disease. Sure ly Uncle Eli, who'is geemingly entire ly devoid of jealousy, prejudice and selfishness, would not otherwise have noted the symptoms in another, since -"As a man thinketh in his heart, sc is he." Uncle Eli evidently has literary in clinations and-aspirations. We read his. "ebulitions" with surprise, won dering who he could be, and why he had not spread his wings long since. The Idler should take comfort add consolation in the thought, that he has- been the means of introducing a genius, to an appreciative public. Hope Uncle Eli will write again and often but he should modify his state ments a little-for instance, "An in vitation to Uncle Eli would meali est End!" And of course he will p new subjects, or some one will 'ician, heal thyself!" 11, as The Idler can't get ch at night (though we have a illy lighted city) why don't you c over to Willowbrook your self, an eli tell him all about it? Our park ad Mr. Zach Wright's heart abe ~oth large enough to hold all West, iAd and Eastside too, and every one is heartily welcome to en joy this beautiful place. We are ex pecting a graid time on Sa.turday evening-and a larger crowd than ever. Mr. Eugene Werts, one of our most highly respected politicians, was with us last Thursday night. He is one of those rare specimen whose smiles and affability, outlast electioneering sea son. And that reminds me-who is' tc be -our mayor, when Cole L. Blease becomes our governor-as West End says he shall? "Thinker." NEGEO WOXAN SUES FOR QUITE LARGE SUM Annie Adams Claims Nearly $7,000 for SerTices in Waiting on Colo nel Poinier. - The State. Spartanburg, May 14.-C. P. Sims, attorney for Annie Adams, colored. has flIed suit for her against the tate of the late Col. S. T. Poinier for ces 'rendered during the last years of his life.

Mrs. Samuel Agnew Passes Away a Due West. Due West, May 15.-Mrs. R. J. Ag new, wife of Mr. Samuel Agnew, pass ed away th,is afternoon at 3.30 o'clock after an illness of five and a hal: months. The latter part of Novem bqr she was taken to the Columbiz hospital and an operation was per formed for appendicitis, and her con, dition was found to be serious. Sh( had a hard struggle for life for tw< months after the operation, but wa. able to come home, and friend. thought her recovery possible, bui about one month ago that fatal dis, ease, pellagra, attacked her, and sh4 never recovered. The College for Women. The College for Women is no long er An private haids, the majority o: its stockholders having voluntaril3 made over their holdings to the caus( of education. This -means that hence forth Miss McClintock and her asso ciates may proceed with a free han to the broadening of the college along the lines which experience has showi to be wise. Extensions and improve ments will be provided as needed an< as means may permit. The change i. vital. It is a long step forward. Some months ago the issuance o: bonds in the sum of $75,000, if s( much should be needed, was decide( upon, and of this, after the fioatinj indeltedness has been liquidated, i is expected there will remain some thing for the permanent improve ments account. But more funds are needed for thi erection of a building-one of a pro posed group-which will be necessar: if the increased demands upon thi college during the coming schoo year are to be met. The building ij to be constructed during the coming vacation. By authority of the board of. trus tees Miss McClintock .is now solicit ing subscriptions for this purpose She estimates that there have beei over 1,200 students connected witi the institution during the 20 years o its history and that of these the grea majority are living. It is hoped tha *each will make some contribution t< 'the building, which will be called ii ~their honor "Alumnae Hall." One stu dent has sent in her check for $1,000 Others have given liberally in suci measure as they have been prospered Gifts in any amount will be glady re ceived and expended upon the devel opmnent of the school along the line: suggested. The cornerstone of the new build ing will be laid at the approaching commencement (May 29 to June 2). I would be cause for great pride anm encouragement if~ announcemen could be made at that time that th4 major part of the sum needed had al ready been brought~ into sight thr-ough the interest and generosit of the alumnae. There is in all this much of interes for the true Columbian. The city ha: no: greater institutional asset, n< stronger cultural for -e than the Col lege for Women; its value in this re spect, moreover, is daily increasing and it is reasonable to hope and ex tpect that in equal measure will thE community's support, already heart3 and substantial, be found cumulativE in extent. The current movement ox the part. of those having the guidancE of the school's affairs exhibits 'a spir it of sane and healthy progressive ness which is most heartening anm promising.-Columbia Record.
