A part of the annual report of the 1 trustees of Winthrop College has been published in the Rock Hill Herald ai~d ie of great interest. The report is no:w being printed by the State 1 printer. According to this report the total number of pupils admitted this session is 463 and five states are rep-. resenead in the student body. Fair field County is well represented at Winthrop, as there are sixteen young ladies from this county attending the college It is found that sixty pere cent of the number enrolled could not ave attended any college this session if Winthrop hsd not brought educa tonA within their reach. Last summer I the number o'f applicants for admis-a sion to, the college reached five hun dred, but only two hund red and sixty-i two ccould be accommodated in the dormizory. Li connection with the I college is a large~ farm and dairy and recently a large orchard has been set ~ out and the board expects to can s fruit and vegetables for the use of the C college and thus save the college a ~ large amo~unt of money.

D AVIS, 12.2991 Cashier. SUGGESTIONS. TO THE GKWERAL ASSEMBLY. To the Editor of The News ond Herald: We have had one of the quietest Christmates I have ever seen, less drinking and no fussing. It is said: "It is an ill wind that blowe no good." A part of tLis vuiet time can be attri buted to the hard times financially. If we cannot have plenty, let us have peace with what we have. The finan cial condition of the county is alarm ing; if ever times were harder it cer tainly was before my recolteetion. When the financial crisis came, wise business men of all pursuits cut down their expenses and called a halt. It is said that wise men shut the house when they see the storm coming. Has the State of South Carolina ever found out that there are hard times, has she done one thing in these 3 ears to lesEen the public experse, whereby the taxes might be reduced? Does she know that the people are trying to pay the most extravagant tax that has been levied since reconstruction, all things considered? Have they ever thought how long the agricultural people could stand, this? Do they not know that many property owners cannot pay the pretrnt tax unless they can borrow the mot ey in some way? Why has the once prospesous people come down so 'apt! Why have they to-day been r din in old buggies and wcaring old clotht ? Is it not on account of hard timu? If it is right and necessary for the subjects of South Carolina to be economical, is it not just and i ight and necessary that the Stste should call a halt? Our representative body will soon convene. They are fine, well posted people, especially from this county; no >ne kiows better thin they that the I taxes are too high and that they are taken fro 2 a peop!e often that have to buy bread on time with money often >rrowed on that wonderful thing, hbe poor man's friend-the lien. This aw has done more to keep a large lass of white people pocr and needy an any law ever placed on the stat ites. It his done more to ruin the abor of the country aid make tramps ut of once good laboring t'egroes bau all other laws co)mbined. Some will ask how can the taxes be reduce]? imply by reducing the county and itate expenses. Knock out a lot of urplus offices; let one in some cases lo the work of two. Reduco this a ormous County Board, and let three t non do the work of fifteen in the C .ame time. Let the County Super visor get in the saddle ond close the )fice, and let him see that every day's. bor that the county is entitled to as >blic highway duty is properly put u at time when it will best serve the ~ount V; let him see the creeks and ranches and gullies that the people j ant bridged over; let out the con- 'i imef, and stop paying to lhave ~ ians and especiallthinkow th ug about the hard times. Their sal- t hry is the same now when one dollar i tas twice as much purchasing power B it had ten years ago. Politicians uly pay debts of gratitude; tickle me nd I wili tickle you or your brother - Fim. If you pick a little fellow and nd him to the Legislature, the first - ing you know he has a Governor's ! tee in his ear. Big head kills horses, ut it is not so fatal in men. A Clod Hopper.
