Dear Home Folks:
Winthrop college is the grandest
place that I have ever been to. 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,

Dear Home Folks:
I want to tell you something: about
Winthrop college; it is a very large

son and Dixon's line used to be and
hung -out the latchstring to .you and
yours* We have reached ftie point
that lharks perfect harmony in every
household, when the husband confesses
that the pies which his wife
cokks*are as godd as those his mother
used to -bake; and^we a'dniit that the
sun shines as brightly and the moon
as softly-as it did before th? war. 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

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

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

: their own use. There are about forty
j acres in the campus.
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

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

age.
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

"Those opened eyes I i
