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

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

Strange to say, but it seems as if
juggy rides have changed from afterioou
to morning. Morning rides

Those who desire to pay their taxes
through the mail, would expedite mat- ,
ters by dropping the Treasurer a postal ,
asking for tne amount of thei r tax so as
to avoid sending the wrong amount, '
also stating the township or townships, 1
Ill properly is ownea in inure iimn une;
anil if possible give school district where I
property is located, also state whether
poll or road tax, or both are wanted.
After paying taxes examine your receipts
and see if all of your property is
covered, if not, see about it at once.
By following the above suggestions
complications and additional cost may
be avoided.

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. "I would have been ^

Many persona are puzzled to know why
policemen wear their badges eo ?
low on their coats Instead of on the ~~
Bap made for that purpose. As a matter
of fact the badge or star, as he
calls It, of many a policeman is right
next to bis heart Borne of the bloecoats
can thank their "stars" for being
alive. This little metal shield has deOected
the bullet of burglar or highwayman,
and at times, too, has stopped ?
the knife thrust of would be assassins, tfa
Daring the last twenty or thirty years *1
there are many cases on record show- fa
ng that the little badge bos been a
If# saver. Even ballets Bred at clot*- ?c
aage, as a rule, cannot penetrate the ( ?
ihield. That's why a Muecoet always ]
eels safer in keeping the atar at a vital
ipot. When off duty some policeizien sal
wear their stars on their vests, bnt alrays
directly over the heart. They are ?
N> accustomed to the little protector J
hat they feel uneasy without It*
