following article concerning Ander

Anderson college, will soon begin
its third year. In this short' period in
the life of an educational institution
1n has accomplished much in its aim
as a high grade college for women.
The truatees and the. officers realize
that every year will bring them nearer
this desired end if they build-always
with thiB high nlm in view.
To give women the best of academic
training and culture, and to do this
in the atmosphere of genuine relig
ious influence?that is the purpose
of Anderson college. With this pur
posr> in view, the people of Anderson
?city and county?offered the Insti
tution to the baptist convention of
South Carolina It was unanimously
accepted, and is now under the fos
tering cure of that denomination. The
college, is, hov; ever, nob-sectarian in
teaching, and has already among its
students many of other denominations.
Equipment in uoo?.
The equipment of the college Is un
usually good. The large main build
ing; contains offices, parlors, clas3
rooms, laboratories, dining room and
auditorium. On the east and west of
the main building are the two dor
mitories, each well-arranged and
handsomely furnished
All the buildings are heated by
steam and lighted by electricity. The
domestic science and domestic arts
departments are admirably equipped
for the teaching of these subjects.
The campus, 32 acres, is provided with
courts for basketball and tennis. One
of the alms of the college is to make
a spocialty of outdoor sports and
games.
A handsome home for the president
of the college Is now nearing com
pletion. This.is.the gift of. C 8. Sul

The faculty is now composed of Id
teachers and officers, four of whom

Tho college has pjuved through two
very successful years of its existence.
It closed, its. second year with an en
rollment of 165 students Tho pros
pects for a successful third year are
bright. Moit of the old students will
return, and many new ones are send

DEATH OF POPE I

Physician Tells of the Last Mo

Touching Way
Rome, Aug. 4.?The Corrlcro itnlia
today published an interview concern
' ihg the Pope's Ian hours in which the
pound's physician sets down some or
his conversations with his patient,
und dwells upon the European wnr
news upon the Pope's deuth.
1 Dr. Marrohlufava declares the
Pope's condition became grave on Au
I gust 19. On that day he wus do
pressed, his pnl?e was rapid, und
j his temperature rose to 102 degreei.
: There was trepidation of the lungs,
Ibut mentally, he was alert.
"Ho said to me," Doctor Marchiafa
va eontinued, "doctor, today I will get
up and go to work." On my vehement
remonstrance ho answered resignedly:
"AM right of you wish it, Iiwill re
main in bed. but I Obey only out of re
gard for you, my good old friend."
"Alter half past ton the collapso
oceured. Oxygen wa* administered
and the patient was cupped, lie re
vived, his vigor returned and Wednes
day afternoon he seemed better. Ho
began to speak again?"doctor, won't
you give me some coffee und milk?
Why don't you come near me?"
"These, words deceived nome of
those proseht into hope, but b.oou the
prostration retulted. Replying to my
question, he said he felt better.
"But he rapidly greW worse until
evening, when his temperature rose
to 104 degrees. The albumlnarlal
increased and the other rymptottis all
wore grave, while the nephrytlc com
plications indicated the patient could
live only a few bourn.
Before midnight his consciousness
had almost entirely disappeared. I
put the crucifix in his hands. Ho
muttered a few word* slowly. Ho ar
dently kissed the little Ivory cruci
fix,. Dnco r.inro he turned his dull
glanco around the room and then ex
pired. Never have I ?een a mere se

Speaking of the administration oi
the last sacraments to the pontiff, Dr.

"I would like to ask you for space
in your paper to give one of the many
instances where Governor Blouse has
used the pardoning power without
any_Juat cause. Tho'case to which I
refer, is the one In which Ambrose
Scruggs was pardoned for the murder

year 1911. The facts, briefly stated,
are thene: Scruggs and two other

given at the trial and Scruggs was

effort being made to secure a pardou
for blm,and had Mr. J. B. Blanton,
who,was at that time a close friend
of Governor Blraae. to call htm up
over the phone, and ask what stops
we should take to keep Scruggs from
being' pardoned. The governor told
Mr. Blanton- to get up a petition In
opposition to theirs and get the Jury
to sign it I did this, and not only
secured the name of every.juror, bbt
th? name of his wife, and many said
It Was tho largest petition they had
ever Been. The governor assured Mr.
Blanton that if ho would get this kind
bf a petition that Scruggs would never
be pardoned as long as he was gov

("I accepted his assurances and
went back to work In the mill. After

Armageddon?W
Whoro Is Armageddon? This quoB
tlon has boon asked thousands of
times in recent months. Col. Roose
velt brought the word prominently
before the people when he said, "We '
w.U meet at Armageddon und
buttle for the Lord."
I Armageddon is the final battlefield
o? the Apocalypse, or Revelations of
St. John, on which the final Rtrugglc
between good and evil will he fought.
Of course It is related that the forces
of good will prevail. Therefore In
likening the recent pfesldentlul elec- j
tlon to Armageddon, Col. Roosevelt
I rather proved himielf to be
, the devil of a fellow. That's the log
ic of It.
I The Armageddon of the Apocalypse
Is a figurative battlefield. As to lo
'callty It linn been conjectured?from
a passage of the 1st Epistle of St.
Paul to the Thessalon-uns? that wo
f hall he caught up In the clouds on
that-great day.
But, as a matter of fuct, there was
an Armageddon of ancient history, h
place of actual, physical warfare, and
