v>svavaaw Vl t WIIIO at TT IIIVIIIUp, It
is necessary for the next legislature
to appropriate for the
erection of a new dormitory to
cost $100,000, said John E.

of education, in a statement
issued Monday. Mr. Swearingen
stated that $85,000 had
already been raised by President
Johnson and the alumnae for a
$100,000 Y. W. C. A. building
for Winthrop and that the board
of trustees would request the
next general assembly to appropriate
$15,000 to make up
the balance.
Beginning with December 1.
all legal papers are required to
be stamped. Promissory notes
must have a two-cent stamp for
every $100 or fraction thereof
and titles to land must be
stamped with fifty cents' woVth
| on every*$ouu* or any traction ot
i this agiount. All deeds must
specify the exact purchase price
and have the stamps placed
thereon when the paper is executed.
Those who are interested
may obtain the revenue stamps
from D. C. Hey ward at Columbia.

will make some arrangement
about handling the stamps
somewhere in this county, either
at the postoffice or elsewhere,
but so far no announcement has
been made to this effect.
