The De la Howe School at Willing- ton, has five destitute little children from Laurens county and there are eight others asking admission. This school is \the State’s orphanage and to it come the whole orphan, the half orphan, and the child whose father is unable to care for it. De la Howe, I owned and supported by the State of South Carolina, has 160 applications on file. There are 120 boys and girls in the school. Over 700 are asking admission to De» Ja -Howe and the various orphanages. Their only chance is enlargement of the institu tion. De la Howe's one chance to finish its m^in building, which will care for 200 then, instead of 120, and to grow where it can do a real piece of work for the State’s little helpless ones is the bond issue, to be voted on in the general election. This bond issue, if passed, will give the State of South Carolina a home and school of splendid size and equipment for the children who otherwise will have no chance at an education but will grow up in ignorance and crime. Dr. De la Howe lefc 2,000 acres of land to the poor child. Will not the State build up the school for the poor child ?
