It is a form of devotional ex ercises held before breakfast. After breakfast we are assigned by sections to different classes, which are held througout the day. Each section goes to the gymnasium at a certain period every day. Homefolktt and friends, this to me is the most im portant, or rather I should say most pleasant, part of the program. We go to the gymnasium to play games, etc. "HX’ery afternoon some kind of entertainment is planned to amuse the members of the Short Course. Some of the numerous amusement* are movies, receptions, etc. Now, dear friends. I must tell you my opinion of the college.

June 20'.—(Special.)-^- As a result of a cutting affray here , Saturday night just before twelve o’clock, Carrie Miller in dead and Tom Dunbar has been lodged in the Barnwell jail. Both parties were negroes. The woman was about 30 years of age and Dunbar about 18. According to witnesses at the coroner’s inquest held here Sunday, there seems to have been bad blood between the two for several weeks and Saturday night Carrie Miller and Daisy Anderson, another negro wo man, walked from the business sec tion of town to the home of the latter, where they found Dunbar. Dunbar had carried Jim Anderson, Daisy’s brother home drunk, and was remonstrating with him, so he says, when Carrie Miller took up for Jim Anderson and accused Dunbar of having been drunk on the previous Saturday night and that she had to take him home which he denied. This 'brought on a difficulty. Daisy An derson got them separated then and put Carrie Miller inside of her house. After waiting about 20 minutes Carrie Miller stated to Dunbar that *he would have to go home and he would have to do what he was going to do. With this she started to run for her hobae which is next door to the Anderson house Dunbar pur sued her and according to the evi dence stabbed her several times either inside the house or on fthe porch. Lloyd Norris, another oc cupant. was awakened by calls for help. He summoned a doctor but the woasan bled to oeeth before hte arrival The coro war’s jury, of which Mr. J. J. Bovii was foreman, rendered a verdict that Carrie Miller caase to her death fives knife t aft tried by Tom Dwabar Night Puitreaaaa M T.
