LUTHERAN COLLEGE TO BE BUILT <ttrls of Lutheran* In South Carolina to Hare an Opportunity of Educa tion as well as Boys. Columbia, S. C, Dec. 30.?The Luth eran synods of South Carolina and Tennessee will establish a college for girls in South Carolina, This was the decision reached yesterday, when a committee, appointed in November, met in Columbia to discuss the matter. The committee is composed of: Dr. E. J. EJtheridge, chairman, Leesville; C. M. Kflrd, Lexington; J. A. Cromor. Lex ington: C. P. Hooter, Leesville; S. P. Koon, Prosperity. The committee will meet in Columbia again on February I. to open bidB from cities desiring the College and at that time it will he defl initely announced, where the institu tion will be located. The Lutheran church Is one of the Jew which has not a denominational school for girls in this State, and the establishment of the new college will hll a long felt want. At a joint con ference of the South Carolina and Tennessee synods, held in November, it was decided to appoint the com mittee, which met here yesterday, with a view to looking Into the ad visahility of establishing a college for Kir Is and to make a decision. The location will he decided at a meeting held here on February 1. Bids will he received from all towns In this State desiring to he consid ered, and the one offering the best abound inducements will he accepted. Already several South Carolina cities have their eye on the new institution ol learning and will wage active cam paigns to land the location. Colutn I la, Newborry, Spartanburg, Bates burg and Lexington will certainly make a great try, and no doubt other cities will bid. About $75,000 will be the amount expended for buildings to begin with, .lid possibly more. It Is the idea of the committee to push the plan and to be ready for work next Sep tember. That the idea, to start them. v,;;i materialize, seems entirely proba ble from the interest being shown and the contributions being made. Dr. B. J. Etheridgo, chairman of the committee, said yesterday that the school would compare with any In th*; state, lie fell much encouraged wbh the interest being shown. The Lutheran seminary is located in Columbia as is the Lutheran Pub lication Board's office. The Luther an Church Visitor is published here. The Columbia would therefore be a very advantageous place for the loca tion of the new school.?The State. For that awful cough take Bloodine Cough Checker.

The Cause of Their Formation Still IteniaJns. One place where surgery fails to bring permanent relief is in the treat ment of piles, because even when the evil tumors are cut away, the cause of their formation still remains.

We must say that wo have been wondei fully blessed, and we now ask In the name of our Kevenlv Fa ther that we miy be blessed even as much In 1912. While we write we stop to think of *he dear ones who were with us on the above date, who have passed to the great beyond and we too nearer before the cottlng of the sun of another Christinas eve, be numbered with these dear ones. The whole community was shocked when the news reached Lisbon that Mr. Clif. Teague had the misfortune Of losing his right eye from the ef fects of a Roman candle in the hands of some of the boys with whom he was having a merry Christinas eve. Young Teague is in Greenville at a sanitarium doing as well as could be expected. We hear some talk of the general assembly being asked to do away with the rural police. Now. we want to say right here, that the rural police are doing more ^ood than any other ofli cers in the state, from the fact that they have more territory to work in. We would like to know why these of flcers should he done away with. They certainly don't cost the county any thing, in the wind up from what 1 can gather. We admit, when our hands go to church with whiskey, handing it around and wish a gun in his hip pocket, ready to use it on till occasions, and he does use it. we have to pay the hill as we need him on the farm. With all of that we have a great deal lesa of disorderly conduct at these places of meeting since we got the rural police. We fear that the small pox is goin? all over thi;; county if those who have it arc not quarentlned. Dr. Peake has been up vaccinating the school children but we hear of others out side of the school children having the smallpox. Mrs. Lilla Dowers and children, of Americas, Ca., Mis. II. H. Humbert, of Laurons, and Miss Mary Smith, of Dallas. Texas, are visiting their par ??tits. Mr. and Mrs. A. .1. Smith. Mrs. Dowers' children have whooping cough since they arrived.
