<$> ' A WOMAN'S BUILDING AT <5> <S> THE UNIVERSITY. <s> < , ^ Anderson Mail. ^ <? . <$> ^ <?> #e note that an effort is to be | made at the next session of the legis-1 lature to secure a woman's building j for the'University of South Carolina; cost $250,000. We understand i that 70 women are attending the univfeiteity this session of which number -20. are from outside of Columbia. It cfaeB not seem that it should be- necessary to build a $250,000 dormitory t?i accommodate thes? 20 girls, espe-1 dally daring these hard times, when; me*t pressing needs have t$ be met fit trfchfcf state institutions and in dther departments of the state government, We take it that the uniV^tHily would admit onl^ thoroughly ^epared stduents to its Freshman qctsg. The state high school inspector reports that 533 South Carolina young women graduated from the h schools of the state this year 0.929). Are not the present 11 colleges for women prepared to take GAro of these 533 young women who Ttiftre prepared for college this year, | arid chffcn many more than this number? Where is the necessity for the expenditures, at this time of finandttl sfcrifl^ency, of $250,000 for this d&fatlitOty for 20 girls? We take it tftatf Colthffbia does not want the build a dormitory for the 50 Columbia girls attending the universjt^fro'ih-their homes in Columbia, i&dides the state has made provision tit accommodate 150 more South 4foltflA firirts at the state college for jtbftfeft (Wiffthrop college) next session. ? - high schools or the state will liififch' ih vtttv matpriftllv increased Ih n&rftber and efficiency and a great many mete young women will have [ & prepared for college work by . l item befof# there can be any need " . *jbatever for ; additional provision '>u Wvthe higher edcation of the young * s##?en of the state than is already ;/feade lit the 11 colleges for women, ? ?d# ill operation in South Carolina, ifie, accommodations and equipment v * ^Siese 11 colleges- for women aljg&dy in existence, one of them* being ? jP&thtop college, the state college Should be perfected be t "otte provision for the :lfdtfctt!on 0f women is at *|>Wrflie woman's building at the university "to compete with the South 0lir6Ht& afcate college for women at Wfek turn it to duplicate the iferk of Wifttforof) college? That is a , tft&y important question to be considtofcA fit this connection. If so, will . not that lead to conflict and confutr ill the state's edcuational sys? Winthrop college was estabfcd i>7 the state, when no other state college \V8S open to women for I l&feir higher education as well as for 'Hpfr;'profesmoinal and practical and its entrance requireire the same as those of the g(?tfe university and it gives a four jfaif e&flege coruse based upon such France requirements?the same as d$e# .th* university and awards the degrees of A.

The following advertisement appeared in the pajmwb of the state during the summer of 1918: - - ' .-tJtiiVersity of South Carolina Opportunities for Women. a. A modern dormitory, steam heat, hot and cold water, competent m4*ron. b. War courses in Red Cross, tfAftJ I'tirrft nnH TliotpttfS. A WUf WMVtt | 6.

Is there any excuse orjU&ification now in the light of this expfctietice stf recently tried during 1918-1919, in asking the state to ap- ' pfbptfate $250,000 to build a dormi-' totyi women at the university? Is there any significance in the fact that j mote yottitfe womeh are now attend-! ing^that university from outside of* *v * \ *s i* * - - Columbia than when dormitories for women were provided at the university? This is no time for doubtful and extravagant experiment. We believe that there should be as little duplication as possible in our educational system, for economy and for peace and harmony and efficiency. There are no special buildings for women at the universities of Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. The fact is, at a recent debate on the question by the literary societies of the University of North Carolina, the vote of the students was against erecting such a Dunaing, tneir main argument being that the state had made provision for the education of the women of the state at its state college for women at Greensboro, i We believe that the state should concentrate at present upon its state college for women and perfect that before trying an extravagant experiment in woman's education elsewhere and we believe that the great mass of democratic women of the state be-i lieve the same thing if we are to judge from the following resolution; just adopted by the state convention ?f the D. A. R.'s, meeting in this! city and by other bodies of women j all over the state: "Resolved: That we urge the legis-j lature of South Carolina to perfect' W??+Virr*n f>All?aoro flip Smith (Carolina I ?? luvil&vy vv*.vtov, w?v j college for women, through which j was secured the first appropriation | by the state for the higher education, and professional training of the wo-J men of the state for teaching, for business, for home making, and for the duties of life, by providing the needed additions to the college plant in the way Of a tcacher's home; a' dormitory for country givls, in, cor,-j nection with the training school, in order that these girls, now deprived ofcthe opportunity of being prepared for college, may have such an opportunity; professors' homes; a build-; ing for music and fine arts, and any other additions that the board of trustees may find necessary for the development of the institution to meet the< needs of the people of the state." .1 It seems that there is no excuse for hurtful and wasteful duplication by South Carolina in the higher education of the women of the state. SPECIAL SESSION ASKED OF COOPER Wade Stftekhopte Wants Special Set* ?ion of Legislature to Aid ihe Farmers. The State, 21st. A request for the call of a special session of the legislature to consider means of aiding tlie cotton farmers is contained in a telegram received by Governor Cooper last night from Wade Stackhouse of Dillon. Governor Cooper said last night that he would take the request under consideration but that it was hardly probable that a special session of the legislature would be necessary or advisable, little relief being possible through legislation. ' /' "Common sense suggests," Mr. Stackhouse says- in his telegram, "that the state of South Carolina take some action to prevent loss of this cotton crop to our farmers. Two courses of action seem possible: issue an immediate call for a special session of the legislature to: first, a moratorium. Dreventinsr col lection of any debts until March 1 and preventing sale of a bale of cotton until that date, or second, pass a state bond issue and lend ten cents a pound on all stored cotton, averaging strict low middling. "Should you decide, to take action wire the governors of the other cotton. states, urging similar action. Am sending copies of this telegram to the state newspapers with request to publish and am inviting other suggestions and criticisms." Governor Cooper has received similar requests for extra session of the legislature to take* action in favor of the cotton farmers and has declined to issue the call, pointing out that it would oe a practical impossibility to assemble the members of the legislature and transact the legislation wanted before the holidays. The regular session of the assembly will convene immediately after the holidays, when it is expected full consideration will be given to the problem and a solution found, if possible. Cane Not Needed. Washington, Nov. 20.?President Wilson is now able to walk about the White House without even the aid of a cane, it was stated today at the White House. He uses his wheel chair only for the purpose ot an occasional relaxation, it was said. White House officers declared that the president's health h&d so far improved as to make it possible for him to address congress in person when it convenes next month, but that'Mr. Wilson had as yet made no definite plans to do so, _1_????^ Uncle Walfo j Sior/*&A PLEASURE OF GIVING UQKIMBACK, the bankor. is acquir! ?3 in? quite a reputation as a phii Inr.Hiw.Klff " AK^am-an tlio I I 1U11mi UJ/II'I, WU.-<CI <ru ui ( "He's always giving to somefoody*tor I something, and I notice that the sickening details always get into print.

COTTON GROWERS SEEK PROTECTION IN COOPERATION " Oklahoma Farmers Lift Plan of Pacific Coast Producers for a Market Association. (Bv E. T. Leech, Editor Memphis! Press.) ' ' ? . /M-l- \' ."I A UKianoma uitv, ukiu., inov. ^u.? | There are many movements of many j types under way to counteract and overcome the conditions which led to a 50 per cent, decline in cotton this year, just as the farmers of the South were starting to market their crops. At least one of these plans seems on the high road to success. It is the Oklahoma Cotton Growers' association and if it maintains, the strides it has already struck, ,'i0 per cent, of the cotton growers of this state will next year market their cotton as a unit and share the added profits they expect from cooperative warehousing classification and selling of their product. The Oklahoma cotton growers have bodily lifted the plan adopted by Pacific Coast citrus, raisin and prune growers, and producers of other California crops, who organized into strong cooperative association for the j marketing of their products. Sign 7-Year Contract. The Oklahoma Dlart calls for the anion of at least 30,000 cottfon growers into a single association, which will market the entire cotton crop of its members. These members sign an iron-clad contract to market their entire crop for seven years through the association. This association is purely a marketirig body. Its great object is to jump over the heads of the middlemen, who infest the cottdn business, and deal directly with the mills, thus seeking to secure for the farmers the profits which have heretofore been taken out all along the line by buyers, factor*?, speculators and a host of others. The association membership is j limited entirely to co'tton farmers or landlords who receive cotton as rent. No buyer,, speculator, banker or any one else outside of actual producers can belong. This one point is proving the greatesti argument which the association has. . Carl Williams-, Oklahoma City editor of a widely' circulated farm paper, told me fWe initial progress of the association has exceeded all expectations. As? a test, organizers ivpvp nut in two Oklahoma counties. and explained the plans at small j community meetings. Seven out of, every nine farmers attending signed! the iron-clad fceVen-year contract. It is expected 30,000 farmers, raising at Least 300,000* bales of cotton yearly, will become members before May, 1921. The seven-yfcar contract wag provided so that the association can retain the best salesmen available and can guarantee to the buyers a stable supply of cotton for a long period. ? BILLION PAID OUT WITHOUT VOUCHERS Disbursements by Shipping Board Disapproved?Report of Comp tfoller. Washington, Nov. 20.?Nearly one-half of the total disbursements of the United States shipping board emergency fleet corporation over a period of 17. months, amounting to more than two billion dollars, were unsupported by proper vouchers, according to the verdict of the corporation's accounts submitted to Secretary Houston today by the comptroller of the treasury in his annual report. The audit was made by direction of congress for the period October, 1918, to February, 1920, and showed ! -? a that, total disbursements of tfte neetj corporation were $2,723,915,213 of; which exception to the payment of $l,184,u2G,243 was taken by the comptroller because of the "lack of supporting papers." Subsequent production of supporting f>apers, however, comptroller said, resulted in a credit to the corporation of $70,625,898f leaving a balance as of February of $1,113,700,345 disapproved by the auditors. The comptroller presented figures; only up to February, but Martin J. Gillen, former special assistant to the chairman of the shipping board under Secretary Payne, declared before the congressional select committee on c?Vi irk-ni n rr knavrl finnrafinn? in Kpw York last week that up to March 1, $2,700,000,000 had been submitted for the audit and payment of $1,500,000,000 had been disapproved because the vouchers were not supported by the necessary data.
