limx F20M VOFTORD COLLEGE A Williamsburg Student Gives Account of Opening. (Wr'tten for last week.) Editor COUNTY Record:?You have always heen so kind as to publisn the letters of those awav fioni home, some for their first time, others for their last time?now may it be that this will find its way to tie press and the hearts and homes of those whom we ha?e left behind. I coald not tell your readers anything better than to say we all arrived safely so far as I have been able to learn. Most of the boys came in last Tuesday and some on every traiu since; so by this time the campus is alive with jolly boys. About all the old students are back and so many new ones that it seems as if they will take possession of the|campus. At nine o'clock Wednesday morning the college bell sounded its first notes of welcome and from all directions you could see the boys making for the chapel. Some filled the seats they had occupied before, oth ?r acacs were vacant, ana some 0079 sat where they had never sat before. Prom the rostrum you could see new faces, others familiar, and among them all were the dear old face and hoary hairs of Dr James H Carlisle. How glad we were to see him and know he would be with us another year. In the announcements made that morning, he gave us a short but pointed talk. The tears were bard to keep back and how grand it would have been if our parents had heard his talk. v The enrollment so far is over five hundred, including college and fitting school. The total number here ' last year was 468, so from this you see oar number is increasing every , year, and we hope this may continue; < for in the future, instead of saying 1 Wofford, we change her name and say "Greater Wofford." What a long time it seems to the Freshman to look ahead and think that they have four loug years to roam over this campus and enter in- ' to the daily class room work. The 1 Senior looks back, sees his faults, s his mistakes, what a grand opportunity he has thrown away, ?nd says, \ .,Tf T 1.1 - _ 1 11 1 1. _ t ""*11 1 COUia ouiy urn uac& a itrw f years how mach more I could do for myself." It is too late for him, for as time moves on we must move with it. Cheer up, boys, we must have some fcmd of educatiou to confront *^be problems of the day. If you do I not want to study, force it upon 1 yourselves, for someday yon can look b^ck to that time with pleasure. Now, that my class of forty has nly nine more short months when some time past it was six years before ^ we could be seniors and that time ; has passed like a tale that is told, j we, the senior class, expect to grad- l uate the largest and best that has j ever yet walked from uuder the domes of "Old Wofford." Friday night, the faculty gaye the boys a fine reception and I think it was enjoyed to the greatest extent by both old and young students. We note, since our return that the houses on the campus have been remodeled and it give3 the campus a much better appearance. My letter is growing too long and I must now break it off right short. Wishing you and your readers the very best, I remain, sincerely, R Leo Carter, '08 Spartanburg, September. 21 1907. Thomas A. Edison, the great n rv_ i i_ American inventor, says: -runy eighty per cent of the illness of mankind come3 from eating improper food or too much food; people are inclined to over-indulge themselves.'' This is where iudigestion finds its beginning in nearly every case. The stomach can do just so much work aad no more, and when you overload it, or when you eat a wrong kind of food, the digestive organs connot possibly do the work demanded of them. It is at such times that the stomach needs help; it demautis help, and warns you by headaches belching, sour stomach, nausea and indigestion. You should attend to this at once by taking something th*t will actually do the work for the stomach. Kodol will do thig. It is a combination of natural digestants and vegetable acids and contains the same juices found in a healthy stomach. It is pleasant to take. It'digests what you eat. Sold by W. L." Wallace, M. D ft Lane Locals. (Written for last weelt.) Lane, September, 23:?We note with pleasure that the farmers of this community are wearing a bread grin. Guess they are anticipating; a lively market for their wnite staple. For the past week we have been having some fairly good weather, which, I think, was appreciated bv all. Ou Thursday night* last an entertainment was given by Missl|Liz- ' zie McDonald in honor of Miss | Ethel Bradsha t of Charleston, who i is now visiting relatives here. The occasion was enjoyed to the fullest j ov an preseut, ana l aon t tning we < will ever forget how to play J "Bingo." Nothing could please us auy better than another just 'such diversion in the near future. Mr Wiuston Holladay of this place spent Sunday in Charleston with his sister, Mrs Hutchinson. Mr J C Neil of Georgetown paid his usual flying visit to Lanes Sunday morning, accompanied by his brother, MrOrvin of]Rocky Mount, NC. The people of Lanes have enjoyed three serenades at night for the past weeks, given by the "Tin Pan Band.'* We hope that they will continue the good work, as I think it was enjoyed by all. Miss Ruth Nettles of this place spent Sunday at St Stepheus with her friend, Mis3 Etta Wilder. Mr L E Cam, night operator at Lane, took a hasty trip to Charleston | Sunday. t One of our prominent young men ' ieems to have had lots of business )ver at Salters the past week.

J. Wkslky Cook, 9-19 tf Co. Treasurer. Goldsmith's Gsnsrosity. A beggar oace asked alms of Oliver Goldsmith as he walked with a friend up Fleet street, and he gave her a shilling. Ills companion, knowing sonneliiiug ->f the woman, censured the writer for his excess of humanity, saying that the shilling was misapplied, as she would spend it for ihjuor. "If it make3 her happy Tii any wajC my en3 is answered." replied Goldsmith. Another proof that the doctor's generosity was not always regulated by discretion wus at a time when, after much delay, a day wag fixed to pay the ?40 due his tailor. Goldsmith procured the money, but a friend calling upon blm and relating a piteous tale of his goods being seised for rent, the thoughtless but benevolent author gavs blm all the money. The tailor called and was told that If he bad come a little sooner he could have had the money, but that be bad just parted with every shilling of It to a friend In ilatress, adding.
