The campus covers about forty acres* The college has its own waterworks, electric lights and its own ice plant and h&s everything convenient. There are about 187 club girls up here that won scholarships to the state short course. We are divided into four sections: A. B. C. and D. I am in section C. Section C is can ninsr. Mrs. Campbell teaches can ning and she taught us how to make jelly Saturday. We go to the gymnasium twice a day. We are learning many fine games there. If I ever go to college, I shall surely go to Winthrop college, because I * think it is so wonderful. We club girls are to leave here Friday morning and I certainly am not ready to leave this place because I am having such a good time. I shall tell all my freinds about Win throp when I come-home. With lots of love to home folks, I remain, Alma Floyd, Silverstrcet Club. "Mowhprrv Cnnntv. Winthrop College, Rock Hill, S. C. June 6, 1921. Dear Home Folks: I want to tell you something: about Winthrop college; it is a very large and beautiful place.

We have sestablislsbdvl cijy and, country. We have; restored comfort to home fronr-which culture arid elegance never departed. We have let r economy take root and spread among us aa rank as the crabgrass which sprung from Sherman's cavalry camps until we are ready to lay odds on the Georgia Yankee as he manufactures relics of the battlefield in a one-story shanty and squeezes pure olive oil out of his cotton sc-?d, against any DownEaster that ever swapped wooden nutc-n nco rrn in f lio val JllCgS lui liaunci oauoa^^ w?v, >v? leys of Vermont. Above all, we know that we have achieved in these "pip" ing times of peace" a fuller independence for the South than that which our fathers sought to win in the forum by their eloquence or compel in the field by their swords. It is a rare privilege to have had part however humble in this work. Never was- nobler duty confided to human hands than the uplifting and upbuilding of the prostrate and bleeding South?misguided perhaps, but "beautiful in her suffering, and honest, , brave and generous always. In the record of her social, industrial and political illustration we await witn confidence the verdict of the world. But what of the negro? Have we solved the problem he presents or progressed in honor and equity toward solution? Let the record speak to the point. No section shows a more prosperous laboring population than the negroes of the South, none in fuller svmnathv with the employing and land-owning class. He shares our school fund, has the fullest protection of our laws and the friendship of our people. Self-interest, as well as honor, demand that he should have this. Our future,, our very existence depend upon our working out this problem in full and exact justice. We understand that when Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation ^ your victory was assured, for he then committed vou to the cause of human liberty, against which the arms of man cannot prevail?while those of our statesmen who trusteed to make slavery the cornerstone of the Con^ federacy doomed us to defeat as far as they could, committing us to a cause that reason could not defend or the sword maintain in sijrht of advancing civilization. Had. Mr. 1-oombs said, which he did not say, :ithat he would call the roll Vii'c davps at the foot, of Bunker VI V .v. Hill," he would have been foolish, for he might have known that whenever slavery became entangled in war it must perish, and that the chattel in human flesh ended forever in New England when your fathers?not to be blamed for parting with what didn't pay?sold their slaves to our ITION DEPARTMENT S.

I am taking a course in cooking and |1 enjoy it very much. Miss Snider is our teacher and I like her, she is a [fine teacher. We have lots of recipes, and I will tell you all about them I when I come home. ! I have learned different exercises 'from Miss Jenkins over at the gymnasium. We are going in swimming this evening, so we may learn to 'swim. Miss Jenkins is teaching us .all kinds of games and when I come 1 home I will teach you all the games j and drills. I would like to come up here to college as everything is so nice and neat. Every day at twelve o'clock we go to chapel and stay until one o'clock, j Then we ?:o to the dining room and I eat dinner. j On Friday night we went to a party, which I enjoyed. Then on Saturday night we went to the moving picture show, which sure was grand.! Tonight we are xpecting to go and see "Daddy Long Legs;" I hope it will be grand as the other one. On Sunday morning we went to | church and Rev. Speake preached a good sermon. On Sunday evening we had preaching in front of the Main building. When I come home I will tell you all the news, and will tell the club girls what I have learned.

The relations of the Southern people in*ifVi tr? rtpp-ro were close and cordial. J WAV** j We remember with what fidelity for four years he guarded our defenseless women and children, whose hus| bands and fathers were fighting .against his freedom. To his eternal | credit be it said that whenever he | struck a blow for his own liberty he | fought in open'battle and when at last .he raised his black and humble hands, that the shackles might be struck off, ! those hands were innocent of any wrong against *Vis helpless charges and worthy to be taken in loving i grasp by every man who honors loyalftv and devotion. Ruffians have mal treated him, rascals have misled him, philanthropists established bank for him, but the South, with the North, protests against injustice to this simple and sincerc people. To liberty and enfranchisement is as far as lawj I can oarry the negro. The rest must) be left to conscience and common j sense. It must /be left to those among; whom his lot is cast, with whom he is indissolubly connected, and whose; prosperity depends upon their possess-! ing his intelligent sympathy and con-, fidence. Faith has been kept with him, in spite of calumnious assertionsj to the contrary by tho.-e who assume to speak for us or by frank opponents. Faith will be kept with them in the future, if the South holds her reason and integrity. . . But have we kept faith with you? In the fullest sense, yes. When Lee surrendered?I don't say when Johnson surrendered, because I understand he still alludes to the time when he met General Sherman last as the time when he determined to abandon any further prosecution of the struggle?when Lee surrendered, I say, and Johnson quit, the South became and i has been since loyal to this union. | Wo fnno-Vi4- Viard enough to know that I we were whipped and in perfect frankness accept as final the arbitrament of the sword to which we had appealed. The South found her jewel in the toad's head of defeat. The shackles that had held her in narrow limitations fell forever when the shackles of the negro slave were bro-j ken. Under the old regime the ne-| ?;roes were slaves to the South; the; South was a slave to the system. The j old plantation, with its simple police; 1 regulations and feudal habit, was the I j only type possible under slavery. | ! Thus was gathered in the hands of a j | splendid and chivalric oligarchy the j !substance that should have been, dif-i | fused among the people as the rich j blood, under certain artificial condi-j | I itions, "Is gathered at the heart, filling ; j that with affluent rapture but leaving ' j the body chill and colorless. j The old South rested everything on ! 'slavery and agriculture, unconscious .'that these could neither give nor ! j ; maintain healthy growth.

The now South is enamored of her new work. The South is stirred with .i the breath of a new life. The 1=<rht of a grander day is falling fair on her : face. She is thrilling with the con- : sciousness of growing power and i prosperity. As she stands upright, < fuil-statured and equal anions the i people of the earth, breathing the ] keen air and looking out upon the < expanded ho*rizon, she understands 1 that the emancipation came because < through 1 he inscrutable wisdom of God her honest purpose was crossed and her brave armies were beaten.; ! 1 This is said in no spirit of timeserving or apology. The South h?..s ! 'nothing for which to apologize. She j believes that the late struggle be-< tween the States was war and not re- ; ibellion; revolution and not eonspira-j cy, and that her convictions were as 1 j honest as yours. I should be unjust 1 ' to the dauntless spirit of the South | ^ [and to my own convictions if I did,' {not make this plain in this presence. ; ^ j The South has nothing io take back. _ i In my native town of Athens is a j . monument that crowns its central!
